June was a whirlwind. It was a lot professionally; however, I never stopped sharing my work. The little chick in the picture is feasting on some rice I threw out. I love animals and see their value in nature to keep things in balance. The chickens that visit me do dig up some of my plants. The thrashers demolished a lot of my fruit. However, I am thankful. I started organizing my content so that I have a tentative schedule for my daily posts. In everything you do, you have to organize yourself and be intentional. My mission is to inspire the world with my words.
Here are some quick updates.

New Poem
Power
you've got the power
because you stand like a tower
torturing everyone in your reach
forgetting that a leader must teach
or they remain in breach
of taking the movement forward
you can't be stalwart
if you don't inspire the followers
who now sit as 'wallowers'
looking for a way out
because they know what you're about -
self praise and in need of likes
so they all plan to take a hike
and leave you holding the bag
or your head while your brows sag
power is not meant to be abused
you can't use it to use
the people who make you look good
when you don't even describe their work as good
and then take all the glory
haven't you heard the stories
about how power corrupts
and when it's out of whack, it erupts
all the negativity in the space
and then the label toxic place
becomes the buzz word
I know you've heard
so what will you do to change the culture
so the space becomes a place of nurture
where people can speak openly
and not be afraid of frigidity
what will you do
to show that your actions are true
to improve the morale of your team?
