Salutations BraveHearts, Mahogany Warriors, and Coach-Madd-Hatters! Tis' the Season to be with and within. In honor of saying farewell to November and meet-&-greet December I figured I'd share a bit of tender-temperament -- so, for starters, allow me to express my greatest gratitude for those that hold-it-down for me and mine; you shall forever be among the quintessential alignments of my Mind, Heart, and SoulStar(isms)!
Secondly, below is a primary-note that I keep close to my purview and in frequent contemplation -- those that know me personally know that I'am a scholar by default. They also can recall the time when I attended University but soon began to rebel at the 'cookie cutter' curricula and inflexible learning environments. As a result, I tossed the traditional-route and took up my own golden-compass of Academics. This was nearly ten years ago -- and -- I'am still very-glad I did! My vagabond-learning approach has kept my scholarship absorption-rates subtle as well as landed me in front of those I adorn The-Unconventional-Plenty (TUP) -- as they are my intellectual Tupperware...lol! And since I'd always been destined to learn upon a customize(able) stride; I'am beyond words whenever I ponder how I've acquired such inside-out valuables, pleasure-principles, Zen practices, prescriptions and escalating perspective(s).
Note-to-ThySelf: Do-good to keep your mind/heart set upon the wisdom-seekers and educators of Temet Nosce (those who've staked their life's research and developments that forward the knowing-of-S.E.L.F.) -- esp. as they stand as the humble Observer/Hood-Interpreter of Mahogany's truest passions and missions. (literally and metaphysically) Upon their being -- they serve as the catalystic-clauses of all that resonates with our purpose(full) Inner-Voice and Sacred-Sources. This is to include -- but not limited to the leading-Life examples of (Thoth), (Enoch), SiStar MyRa Moss, Dr. Bayyinah Bello, Dr. Joy DeGruy, Yolande Cornelia 'Nikki' Giovanni Jr., Bob Marley, KRS-One, David Banner, Professor Griff, Blue Pillar/P.E.

In closing I'd like to engage in a brief songversation dedicated to my eclectic array of MasterTeachers. Per the legendary Anita Baker -- You're The Best Thing Yet, Sweet Love, It's Been You, and You Bring Me Joy. Because surely, from-the-bottom-of-my-heart dwells the sheer thank(full)ness of their existence and Life's work to teach and be of sacred-study and meticulous scholarship.
QOTD (Quote Of The Day):
"The Teacher will (always) appear whenever/however the Student stands at-the-ready. The true Teacher sits by the floor; serving as the fountain-of-fortune, fundamentals, and foundations." ~Skyla Indigo Ink
