Yes. Enoughness. Yes. You are enough now. Yes. That's what we're trying to do.
I'm never worried. Aren't you scared of running out? No. I trust the divine timing of my life. I trust my gifts and talents that were given to me by God. to make a way for me. I've always trusted that. I never have to worry about that. I just don't. My faith, when you talk about a faith walk, a leaping, a faith leap, it is deep, radical, radical faith to understand and to
be courageous enough to push back against the system and say, I've had enough. And I trust the divine and I trust myself and my gifts to make space for what is possible. I really do. And so this is radical faith work. It's radical trusting work. And I know that that work will not happen overnight. I know that that is a slow, ongoing, lifelong process that we want to have for ourselves.
We want to pass on to our children, to our families, to our cultures, to our communities. And so we can't do this work alone. This work is for the collective. It is for the community. I have written 55,000 words for my new book, and I don't mention self-care once in it.
And it was on purpose. It's community care. It's communal care. It's community. How we make it along. Community care will save us. We can't do this without each other. And toxic individualism has taught us that we don't need nobody else's help. That's the lie. That's what's killing us. That's the lie of it all. And so Martin Luther King Jr.
has been saying that we are mutually tied in this inescapable interconnectedness, whether we want to or not. And because of that, We have to see the collective as where the spirit lies and where our healing lies and making space for others to rest, for ourselves to rest, being a model for that and going slow. I tell people, go slow. This is 10 years and I'm still just unraveling from it.
This unraveling Will be a lifetime. My son is 15 years old. And since he's been little, a baby, I've taught him this idea of slowing down, of like chilling. He made up a word, chillaxing, chilling and relaxing. So he's like, I'm going to go chillax. So even now that he's 15 and he's in high school and there's things like the speed of high school life, he's a musician and an artist and everything.
Some days he'll wake up and be like, I just am tired. I don't want to go to school today. Can I just take a break? You want to go for a walk? You know, chill out. If you can't finish your homework in time, you'll be okay. You're brilliant. You're brilliant.
You're brilliant. You'll figure it out. If you don't get that one quiz in today, believe me, hon, you'll be fine. Look at how brilliant you are. And so trust the divine energy and understand that the systems really are working in collaboration for you not to rest. Public schools. churches, hospitals, every system in our culture is in collaboration for us not to rest.
And so when you know that, it kind of gives you a boosted sense of energy to know they don't want this. They're all in collaboration for this not to happen. That's why it's a resistance. And that's why I see it as so important. And that's why I give myself grace. I do. You can get pulled and caught up in this grind. One day you might have to stay up to two in the morning to finish a deadline.
And you're like, what is going on with me? But understand it's a balance and it's going to be a full on slow, slow go. Take time with yourself. Be careful with yourself. Be soft with each other. Be intuitive about what's necessary. I say you are enough so many times in the book. I repeat so much in the book and I do that for a reason. People were like, there's a lot of repetition in the book.
Yes, ma'am, it is because I believe our brainwashing calls for that. I believe our deprogramming calls for repetition and the message will keep repeating. The downloads will keep repeating and it will become almost like a lullaby, this incantation over you to be like, What can we provoke in a spell cast over you to understand I am enough now.
I don't have to do another thing that was already given to me by birth. So I'm going to rest.
I love a highlight. I love underline. Write in the books. That's my favorite thing. Yes.
That's it. That's the imagination word. Yes, ma'am. That's the question.
We'll talk soon. Bye. Okay.
