Trayvon Martin would be 18..

Today...would have been the celebration on Trayvon Martin's 18th year on earth. Do not let this day go by without acknowledging his existence, and the violence that we all know exist. Lets all work together to make this world a better place. God has given us stewardship over the place to make it better and not worse...

Acknowledge the beauty...and lets keep it positive. Be good to one another.

P.S. Let reform gun laws, and mental health care.

Be Encouraged

ARTIST, never let your message/story be limited or tainted the wants of your audience. Your job is to share your views and story, and to make it relatable to the audience. Dig deep, and think hard about the message in your heart. Remember that you can be serious, comedic, angry, hateful, lustful, loving, fearful, loathing, humble, compassionate, thoughtful, contemplative, etc. The full range of emotions, a variety of story lines, etc. Never ever feel limited or that you have to bow down to a certain group or idea. The only one you owe something too...is God, for sharing the spark of creativity, and the message of #LOVE, that regardless of your view on it, everyone needs or wants. Be encouraged, and never settle!

You're Not Crazy, You're Creative

You're not crazy, you're just creative...I wished more people knew that. Channeling this force, God given, can be challenging at times. If we only knew that the thing was that bothering us most...was the indescribable thing that made us perfectly unique. #CREATIVITY
