This is literally a simple reminder to you...if you are living, breathing on your own, have mobility in your limbs, you can speak, you can think thoughts on your own, you can wash your own body...you are good. God is still blessing you. You still have every opportunity you and God can or will provide to be fruitful on this Earth. "They" always say there is someone doing worse or going through more than you...I say, we all are blessed and moving throughout life with different trials, obstacles, tasks and demons but we conquer them all. Take a deep breath, remember your worth and affirm you have a purpose and plan in this life. LIFE IS A BLESSING AND IT IS GOOD . MAKE A BEAUTIFUL WEEK BEAUTIFUL SOULS!

com·par·i·son noun a consideration or estimate of the similarities or dissimilarities between two things or people. "they drew a comparison between Gandhi's teaching and that of other teachers" con·vic·tion noun a firmly held belief or opinion. "she takes pride in stating her political convictions" Never fall victim to comparing:
 Try this instead...Ask yourself questions like: -what have I achieved in the past 3, 6, 9 months or this year? -does my life look differently than it did last year? -have I executed the things I committed to do in my personal, business, professional life? -can I see a difference in how I respond/react in tough times, in tough situations? -am I being more kind, forgiving, understanding and giving myself more grace for growth? -can I see any other changes in my feelings, behaviors, in the way I think/speak? -what can I do or what changes can I make to intensify my growth even further? The most prominent measure of your success, the ultimate measure of your trajectory is your own. personal growth. Comparing your success to the success of another is an extreme detriment to the forward movement of achieving your goals. Let God and your conscious be your guide...not someone else's life...comparison crushes conviction and you know who you are. Don't let the image of others change that and don't measure your progress with the progress of others. With honest answers to the questions above you can evaluate where you see growth and where there is room for improvement. Again, you know who you are and what you need to do in order to level up. Stick to your script! XO, Lakesha Lee What additional questions would you add to the list? Drop them in the comments below!
 Peace, Peace Tribe! This post serves as a reminder that the Vision that God has given you is TRUE. Those dreams you have at night are your subconscious speaking to you at rest and because of that you can not rest! You do not have the luxury of ignoring the calling on your life that YOU SEE AND KNOW PLAIN AS DAY.. Stop looking and waiting for external confirmation to execute what omnipotent God has specifically given you to do....There is no where in history where God has given vision without provision. Remember Moses, from the Bible...he parted the Red Sea. Moses was the instrument God used to free the Hebrews from decades of mental, physical and spiritual BONDAGE. God positioned Moses to oppose the most powerful man, Ramses II the Pharaoh at that time.-with only Moses' vision (hearing from God directly) and Gods word. After many plagues, negotiation and plainly telling Pharaoh to let the people go. When Moses and the Hebrews left Pharaoh a cloud followed them by day and a pillar of fire by night...manna came from heaven to feed them day by day. After Moses parted the Red Sea God returned the sea to its original form and the Pharaohs men were swallowed in the deepest shadows of those waters never to be seen or heard of again. Moses parted the Red Sea with God, faith and a rod by his side. Moses believed in the vision that God gave to him (after much doubt and through a journey of self discovery). He eventually committed to executing the vision God gave, spoke to him and the entire Hebrew Nation and generations to come benefited from his ultimate obedience. Once Moses locked in on the vision, God provided. In turn Moses was the major key in the mental, physical and spiritual freedom of an entire nation of people. God made provision for his people and God will make provision for you. If, where there is vision, there is also provision. There is no hope in placing all your trust in the confirmation of man. Man can not see what God gave you, or even comprehend...until you execute! Your higher power, God, Allah, has given you a work to do and you know it. You feel it. You think about it everyday and you cannot escape the vision God has placed within you. Well, how do you execute the vision? That is between you and God. I can say to help see the clear path...get silent, read more, pray, pay attention to who and what is easily attracted to you and what is most easy for you to do. Mostly, go to your God and ask questions, seek clarity. There are billions of people on Earth and no one can do what you can, exactly like you do. That's why God gave the VISION specifically to YOU. Allah, God, your Higher power will provide. Go forth and do what you are called to. How the vision is executed and elevated is not up to me or you. Our job is accept, apply faith, apply pressure, commit, be disciplined and just do it. XO, Lakesha Lee Peace Peace Tribe! I pray all is well with you and yours...and if you feel it's not, I pray your perspective changes and you find every solution to create a better space. This is just a quick reminder that on your journey through Self Love (unconditionally loving yourself without boundaries) at times you'll have to oppose the norm and choose YOU! Folks will want you to see it their way and shun you for not choosing them, but you must choose YOU! Whomever your higher power is, if you've tapped into hearing and following your intuition...grasp a firm hold of the messages you hear/receive and don't let go! What's right for you may very well be, look wrong to others and that''s iight. If you want to see continued growth and reach your highest potential…you must continue to trust in YOURSELF. External validation is cool, cute but genuine confidence comes from God and from within! Choose you and do what's best for you!

After months of deprogramming and reprogramming, IAM empty...this is how I feel precisely. In a good way, a progressive way. Interestingly my consciousness of this emptiness is more acknowledgeable than any other feeling I've ever experienced. This past couple of months I've recognized and experienced so many emotions/feelings...triumph, defeat, hurt, understanding, true love, love, lust, vanity, foolish pride, acceptance, rejection, pain (bodily injury), devastation, self doubt, depression, supreme confidence, platonic love, accomplishment, fear, regret and jealousy just off the top of my head. I have been in a space of personal growth and development, I have taken the time to feel, recognize, and identify my emotions, emotional triggers and how these affect who I was, who IAM and who I destined to become. It's been one hell of a journey and now... I'm empty and open. It was scary at first, but after a day or two I concluded this is a beautiful place. Emptiness is the beginning of a new, a rebirth if you will. Every emotion, every decision, every move I make from here out is a stroke of fresh paint on the canvas of the masterpiece that is Lakesha Lee. IAM excited! I never thought I would be in a position to recognize, interpret and understand my emotions the way I do now, honestly I never even knew it was necessary...
Shout out to SELF WORK!!!
One core principle of IAM is CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS CONTROL YOUR LIFE. In order to control your thoughts you must understand the triggers, emotions and the fueling energy behind them. IAM happy to have emptied every negative thought, feeling and connection from the soul of my aura, from the being of my consciousness. Now I have a fresh slate. I decide who IAM, how I feel, what I need...I embrace this newness...Wow! I'm brand new...lol, I'll be that. The future looks so bright from right here, IAM grateful and IAM blessed.
Does anyone else know this space I'm in...please do tell !!!

So. Know when I preface my conversation with so, it's about to get real. I have recently coined myself as a lifestyle blogger, by which I believe it is important to provide some understanding of what type of lifestyle I live. I've recently relocated to my hometown, Buffalo, NY from Washington, DC. Let's say this move is nothing short of one of the most dramatic things I have ever done. However, it's very true to my character, I decide I want to do something and I do it. I have an idea and I aggressively develop a plan to bring that idea to life. Many things have changed in my life since the move. My three year relationship with one of the most caring, loving, handsome, intelligent Kings I have known came to an end (on good terms of course). I went from full support to becoming solely dependent on myself emotionally, financially and every other ly you can think of and that's been so tough. I miss companionship, as IAM a loving giving person, I've been loving on myself as much as I can (plus indulging in a little retail therapy)...I must admit to go from three years of being in a relationship to being solo dolo has been hard, lonely and frustrating at times. Despite all that, I feel liberated and for where IAM now on my life journey I understand separation was necessary. Everything will be okay.
On a lighter note my job search went well, I was offered every position I interviewed for, except one. It was too far out the city anyway and if they didn't "want" me oh well. I honestly think one of the workers there didn't want another black person on the job (Buffalo's professional scene is nothing like DC. It seems as though educated, articulate, professional African Americans in the forefront is somewhat a rarity, of course that is in retrospect to Washington DC, where affluent and educated blacks are everywhere!...but that's another story for another blog...I decided to work in retail for the time being since I need to stack fast cash, I love fashion and I love helping people. Plus yes to the discounts!!!
It's a blessing to have friends who love you like family, who are your family. One of my good girlfriends told me I could stay with her back in August when I decided to move...
Suitcase!!! I been livin out a suitcase!!! (Drake reference).
I'll be moving into my own apartment in a couple weeks and IAM so excited about having my own personal space!
I moved back home to awaken my inner artist, to make peace with my past and to further understand the present, to be independent, form business alliances, to inject the city with the power of IAM. This move was the next step in my own journey to IAM. Sure, I returned home to find past relationships had changed, I've changed but others have not and this move has not been everything I'd thought it be. But. What it has been is exciting, liberating, educational and inspirational. I've discovered many things about myself that have been hidden, flaws, quirks, just really been under the microscope. All by myself, with no one to tell me right or wrong, no one to tell me which way to go. It's all on me, I'm learning how to stand on my own two, finding peace and asserting confidence with every choices and decision I make.
I look forward to learning more about the Black History and cultural influences in the city of Buffalo, I'll be exploring food, fashion, architecture, art, dance, poetry, music and whatever other creative initiatives I can find in the city. I'll be linking up with artists, entrepreneurs, politicians, educators business, and everyday people, creating content for the blog.
This is my lifestyle, living the life I desire, step by step, path to path, person to person, day by day. My lifestyle encompasses peace, freedom in every sense of the word...financial, creative, mental, spiritual and emotional.FREEDOM TO BE MY IAM. I seek abundant happiness and I desire to share all that I find with the World.
Much Love, Peace and Blessings. Thanks for taking the journey with me.
