This story is sadly the norm with artists. We are always asked to do things for free for the ‘opportunity’ as if someone’s doing us a favor. People don’t see us as professionals. Pay up SuperBowl. I’m sure just one of the fees for a commercial will more than suffice. 🙄🤷🏽♀️
When we care for others, we manifest an inner strength despite any difficulties we face. Our own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to us. Reaching beyond our own problems and taking care of others, we gain confidence, courage and a greater sense of calm.
The ultimate source of happiness is within us. Not money, not power, not status. Some of my friends are billionaires, but they are very unhappy people. Power and money fail to bring inner peace. Outward attainment will not bring real inner joyfulness. We must look inside.
A year ago, I watched in terror as our own neighbors willfully broke something sacred in our democracy. And many of our leaders not only let it happen, but helped it happen. My rage can only find peace when every single person on every side of this is brought to justice. 💔🙏🏽
Hi @NYPDPC and @ericadamsfornyc - can we PLEASE have people enforcing mask wearing on subways and buses? I got a $100 fine once because I couldn't find my bus ticket. Considering this is a public health issue, can we enforce our laws? PS. Many of the non mask wearers are cops. 🙏🏽
for those who have been hit by those heavy waves of 2021, with all those moons seemingly drowning and not presenting its beauty, know that there is a new moon out tonight, one that stays bright when it doesnt avoid the night…

Anger and aggression sometimes seem to be protective because they bring energy to bear on a particular situation, but what needs to be acknowledged is that that energy is blind. It takes a calm mind to be able to consider things from different angles and points of view.
The only thing that will bring happiness is affection and warmheartedness. When you have a more compassionate mind and cultivate warmheartedness, the whole atmosphere around you becomes more positive and friendlier. You see friends everywhere.
Our lives depend on hope. If you have hope, you'll be able to overcome problems you face. But if you're without hope, your difficulties will increase. Hope is linked to compassion and loving kindness. In my life, I've faced all sorts of difficulties, but I never gave up hope.
@BedBathBeyond it’s all great and well that you have a spanking new store in Chelsea 6th Ave but what’s the point if you don’t have staff to handle enquiries and returns? Every time I come here it’s frustrating!
how awesome was 9 year old #AnaikSingh on the @theellenshow !?
i was so impressed with the young man that i had to show my support for being so courageous.
he’s created a free library for people who can see their value through reading for a better mindset and mental well-being.
552 years ago, a light named ‘Nanak’ entered this world and orchestrated the meaning of compassion, love, light and all this through Gods name. May Guru Nanaks light shine so bright into your lives that all darkness disappears.
