There is no shame in temporarily failing with purpose on your way to success. It’s when you break down and decide to live in a false reality that kills your goal crushing abilities.
O ye who believe! be maintainers of your pact with Allah and witnesses in equity, and let not the hatred of a people incite you not to act fairly; act fairly; that is highest unto piety. And fear Allah; verily Allah is Aware of that which ye work.
5:8
"Uzee wako utakuonyesha usahihi wa maamuzi yako ya ujanani ikiwemo ndoa, idadi ya watoto, malezi, mahusiano, kipato na uwekezaji, na machaguo yako mengine ya maisha. Kuwa makini na maamuzi yako ya ujana." ~Togolani Mavura.
"For a disagreement is either the result of a genuine conflict of interest, or it is the result of misunderstanding, shouting will make it worse, while careful argument can end the disagreement to the satisfaction of both sides." -Julius Kambarage Nyerere, July 1969
🌹 Grief Is a Thief — A Poem for Those Who Miss Someone This Season
Grief is a thief
that slips into the room
quiet at first,
then suddenly loud—
a memory, a scent,
a song you forgot you remembered.
It doesn’t care
if it’s been one day,
one year,
ten, fifteen,
or twenty.
Time may move forward,
but love never leaves,
so neither does the ache
that love once shaped.
And in this holiday season—
with twinkling lights
and empty chairs,
with laughter that lands softly
because someone’s voice
is missing—
we feel it all over again.
But grief is also a keeper.
It holds the stories,
the warmth,
the way they smiled,
the way they loved us
in a language
only our hearts can hear now.
So if you’re hurting tonight,
if the world feels heavy
when it’s supposed to feel bright—
know this:
you are not alone.
Your feelings are real,
your tears are honored,
your memories are sacred.
I love you all.
This poem is for you—
for the brave hearts
who carry both sorrow and love
in the same breath,
who keep going
even when it hurts.
May you find peace gently,
hope slowly,
and comfort in knowing
that love never ends…
it only changes form
and walks beside us
in ways unseen.
Introverts get attached to energy. Not looks. Not status. Not words. If you bring calm, they’ll trust you. Open up to you. They'll make you feel like one in a million. But if you bring chaos, mixed signals, drama, inconsistency… it's over. No fights. No explanations. Just silence. And trust me, they're not rude, they're just protecting their heart.

I am very surprised that the Democrats, who fought a hard and valiant fight in the 2020 Presidential Election, raising a record amount of money, didn’t have lots of $’s left over. Now they are being squeezed by vendors and others. Whatever we can do to help them during this difficult period, I would strongly recommend we, as a Party and for the sake of desperately needed UNITY, do. We have a lot of money left over in that our biggest asset in the campaign was “Earned Media,” and that doesn’t cost very much. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

In the realms of politics and data science, it's crucial to understand the power of narrative. While data provides the foundational insights, it is the narrative that ultimately influences public perception and opinion.

Introverts are attracted to authenticity. Real & raw. Straightforward. In your face. No games. No drama. No shit. They like keeping things plain, simple, and honest. When you're in, you're in forever. Be real or leave. There's no in-between.
