I somewhat stumbled upon a festival September 2022 that absolutely changed my life.

Sol Harmony Fest, I love you.

On this episode I am honored to have Kat and David Harmon of the Sol Harmony Festival on the show!

Hear about how SHF began and what it sets out to do.

Also, David and Kat chime in on topic discussion:

1-Personal tips/ways on finding inner peace, stability, grounding and a sense of healing during positive transitional alignment.

2-Soul Fillers...Finding your community and receiving healthy energy while keeping healthy boundaries.

I recall meeting people and telling them about the PoP, and what it stood it for even though it had not even come out yet, I jus t had the idea.

Almost one year later to date, the podcast is in its second season, I have Mr. and Mrs Sol Harmony Fest themselves on my show and...

ITS ALMOST TIME FOR SOL HARMONY FEST 2023! 9/22-24 2023

Back at it after a few months.

Its now almost the Fall season again, we all just kinda met last November 2022, when it was Winter.

Before I knew it we were a third of the way into the "new year" and still shit from the old year was lingering, while 2023 was rolling by fast.

Decided to change the recording room around, upgrade some equipment, and turn on the mic after six months for what I consider the second season.

Season 2 will have an array of guests from a very wide spectrum and topic discussion abroad.

Learn to master stress, so it doesn't become your master.

I'm no prophet on this, so I wrote notes to myself to declutter some mental space.

I hope this finds you well.

Lets empower each other more.

Turn the knob, tune the frequency, and find new energy channels.

Give your mind, heart, and soul new opportunity to like or fall in love with something new that promotes your personal wellness.

I actually wrote some notes. But didn't feel as comfortable reading them. Listened, didn't like the sound but loved the message and still said oh well, its pure Me, *Click Publish*.

If you can filter through you may find a gem, you may not.

I aint gonna hold ya my boy... but for real doe...

do YOU in 2023.

Cut the bullshit and claim your prize. Its up to YOU.

SUPER Rant...

Resolutions?

Nah... MANIFESTED GOALS. And standing up to seasonal depression with a fighters stance.

Be kind, operate with a well intent, be yourself, talk to yourself the right way. Claim it. Pay it forward. Workout. Don't' sweat the small stuff and the things that are out of your absolute control. Treat obstacles as oppurtunities.

This year connect with yourself. Have hard conversations in order to connect better with others. Set healthy boundaries. Take care of yourself.

Maintain momentum by any means to keep going.

Take that chance.

Let your discomfort and curiosities meet.

Count to five, and...GO.

Sign up for that race or run, and dammit walk it if you have to.

"I can't cook" is all you say, but have you tried??

Put your phone in your pocket, walk in that bar, and speak to her/him.

Dance the night away to the beat of your own drum.

Oh me?? well recently I downloaded an app and started self lessons on how to stop saying "ummms" and unnecessary filler words in my speech.

And then woke up at 4am this morning, turned the mic on, closed my eyes and randomly started speaking while recording my speech, while beginning to apply what I've learned so far...with no notes...then published it...and entitled it encouragement.

Why would I not?

Sometimes it's not comfortable to try or start, but the results and outcomes can be so rewarding.

Try something new!

A method...routine...experience... ACTIVE HOBBY! DO IT!!

"I don't have the time"<<<<<you're not making the time.

And stop using "I've gotta get ready first before I start" as an excuse.

Narrator: definitely not me

Reading a journal entry of mine from March 2020.

The world closed down. 7 months into my CrossFit journey.

Some reflections on how my discipline for mental and physical health, food and fitness ignited.

Please look for THE LIONS DEN: Episode series looking to drop January 2023.

Realizing more and more that the work we do for our well being, can shine a light for others.

Took the time over the last few years to heal, forgive and become more emotionally transparent.

It is like an emotional freedom and a body armor of healthy boundaries.

What we go through, went through are trials of strength and life is about lessons.

Taking the time to unpack your emotional baggage fuels power to emotional freedom.

Relationships are better, conversations are more pure. You can become able to be there for people better, and use verbiage that promotes encouragement, not judgement.

Unlock one of your many super powers, unpack that bag, and embrace your traumas.

Take that healing product and apply it to life and feel the rewards.

So... How are you going to unpack that??

shame<EMBRACE

There are some choice words in this one...cover your ears.

Almost talked myself out of attending an event from my self pity. Then I stopped for a moment and realized who I once was, and who I am.

You are only in competition with yourself.

So see nobody...

What are your go to methods for taking action for the delivery of your manifest? Are you even manifesting bro!?!? You should be!

Give yourself an uplift today. Set and take action of a goal.

-Signed,

2023 in 30ish days

So random, or maybe a coincidence. I'm up this morning with thoughts of checking on my friends and framily around the holidays and really just in general life.

Make your application to conversations count. Feel as you wish, speak as you should. Provide soulful comfort to the ear, leaving as much peace as possible in every matter.

Have a good day today.

A verbal journal entry reflecting on when I became self aware of my symptoms of seasonal depression. Random opinionated tips and suggestions on how to bring light in the cave of the dark seasonal months.

Remember, be a human...it's ok to feel. Be aware, take care of yourself, and take care of those around you by acts of kindness.

Stay bright.

How I make my day more comfortable with small acts of personal wellness.

The origin and mission.
