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.

I arrived on Bowie State University Campus yesterday with a literal manifestation of the two most definitive power words I know, I AM. Why do such a thing you ask? To share my recent discovery + ideology with all who would listen...
TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE..DECLARE IAM.
I have recently begun to live by + breathe every breath + innovate every thought with all the soul in my being with expectations of divine manifestations of pure happiness + excellence. I was beyond ecstatic to spread this knowledge + share my newfound discovery with my MIGHTY MIGHTY BULLDOGS!
We all posses the power necessary to create and sustain our own reality
This is not a new theory or discovery I have claimed to have made on my own. Countless studies have been conducted on the positive + transformative effects meditation has on brain functioning + size + activity. I have done much research on the power + importance of personal declaration + positive affirmations + speaking desire into existence. As a result of my soul searching I have concluded this; believing the affirmative will attract like-minded individuals and circumstances, your thoughts shape your reality. What's your reality? What does your greatest self look like? What are you innermost desires…be honest with you. These answers will guide you to the “X” that marks the spot on your hunt to insurmountable truth + happiness.
Life is a quest to discovery, molding + shaping our IAM to perfection. Happiness is my Chief Goal, IAM embracing all that make me happy, continuously indulging in these things + places + people + expressions and I encourage others to do the same. There is an indefinite power + certainty within your individualism, there is World changing power in your uniqueness. Imagine the lives you will influence through your expression of true self + authenticity. As I type these words, I meditate on them + realize all that I speak of is more than a mindset, it is a lifestyle...wow, it just clicked for me...(Having a moment...please excuse me)...beautiful people, the formula is elementary...TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE...DECLARE IAM.
