My Office space…

Just read an article on BE, Black  Enterprise. It asks the question: What does your office space say about you? Well, to jump right into it. I think my space says that i’m thought provoking with the collection of various books.

I have Louise Hay’s book about physical ailments and hte metaphysical reasoning behind them. I have actor/rapper Common’s new book; “One Day it will all Make sense.”

In addition, to these I have Thef Neteru: Movement of the Gods & Goddesses, as well as, Initiation into Egyptian Yoga. Then I have the requisite men’s magazines like Sports Illustrated.

Also, the daily paper, the TBT Tampa Bay Times. Since I sit in a cubicle it’s hard to have any posters, paintings etc. I do however have about a 9 inch statute of Heru/Horus splendid with color, & detail.

I also have a bamboo plant that adds a lot of life to my personal space. This plant is indicative of my work day, and my time at this career. It has grown beyond beief. Many question if it’s real. It most assuredly is. Though, i must admit all I do is add water. I know the reason it has grown and that is because of the concentration of energy that I manifest on a daily basis.

Indeed, this plant is a microcosm of myself, so I treat it as such. I aid in growth with a constant stream of  oxygen directly as prayer, and recitation of words of power. Indirectly, with my conversation with my co-workers. I learned a long time ago the symbiotic relationship between plants, trees & humna beings.

Moreover, my constant high level mof energy that is encompassed within my aura, and evidenced by my “swagger.” All within, as well as without on a day-to-day in my office space.

I know that the placement of wind & water, also known as Fen Shui is also indicative of myself and my wholistic being within this space known as my office. Since, I can not bring posters, or large pictures I mitigate that with vibrant colors, life, and order in chaos.

A few weeks ago a co-worker cautioned me to tidy up my desk by throwing away old papers, training materials etc. As a student of psychology I am well aware of the connection of my environment to my mental  state. So, it was with much enthusiam that I began to discard old belongings, while simmultaneously making room for the new.

Soon after I made room for the new. I was in store for a move of my office space to a new space. I may have been the only one on  my team that actually looked forward to the move.  For as the saying goes; “there is only one constant and that is change!” I embrace this notion on a day-to-day.

So, when the change came I eagerly anticipated the new energy I’d benefit from by having more natural lighting from the sun because I was moving within a space that had twice as many windows. Although, I now sat with my back to a narrow walkway and wall I now had to adjust to the acoustics of a low hanging wall directly over my cubicle.

Many have commented that I now have “prime real estate: because I’ve literally moved from the back  of the office, to the front. Internally, I know this is just an outcome of the inner workings of my embracing my own personal  space within as reflected without.

I pay attention to the subtle nuances around me which is why I deliberately have certain aesthetically appealing objects around my ofice space that both enliven, as well ass center my energy. “As within, As without!”

Now, if I can just find a small water feature that I  can add to my desk it would encompass a way to incite all  of my senses inside & out!

I accept change, and the renewal of my energy everyday. I know my personal space is a direct reflection of my internal space. “If there is no enemy within, then the enemy without can do you no harm!”

I embrace my self with patience, serenity, & alturistic love. I enjoy my personal space at work because I have been insightful to the interplay of the 4 elements, 5 senses. 4 + 5= 9. 9 is life. I keep myself enlivened at work, as I do at home. I openly share my good will, knowledge & good will those around me. I keep myself focused with distictive objects that I have chosen to surround myself with.

My personal space is sacred! 

 

 

Miami Heat a Success despite loss in Finals

So, 1 year + 1 day ago Lebron James how it came to fruition. had his famous decision. Much has been published recently w/ behind the scenes info about. While I’ve maintained from the jump that dude was exercising his right to  choose at the conclusion of his contract. The vitriol & coverd as if Lebron owed him t racism he endured the entire season is reminiscent of the Willie Lynch Letter.

You see the owners response was most instructive. He acted as if LBJ owed him something. My take is he didn’t owe him or the city of Cleveland anything. In sports,  racism is alive & well.

 

And it’s unchecked b/c people are so passionate about it.

It’s like cities, front office personnel take ownership over their

players. This is Patriarchy tied to White supremacy.  YYou see players are drafted by their physical talents, like slaves on the auction blocks.

Players are rated on how fast, how how high they can move jump and perform the tasks of the game.

So,  when a player tries to use his own self determination. Well,  he must be made an example of.

Did Lebron break any laws? No! So, why the backlash?

He practiced what Garvey called Self-Determination. Any black man doing so, after his master/owner liberated him from povertyy deserves more. More what? More loyalty (see House Nigroe).

Lebron really knows now what it means to be an independent thinker, and individual who is willing to take risks. 

People shroud the issue w/ the way he left, him not notifying Cleveland etc.

That is scuttlebut, Bull shit. No matter where he went people were going to bIt made iot worse in their eyese hot. that he went to tream w/ another superstar. The fear was he would steal, or unfairly win the “ship due to competitive advantage.

Are owners re3quired to inform players of impending trades, waivers etc ? Hell no. So, why catigate Lebron for the same method of operation? He is from the worker, burden beare class.

This class can’t think independently. The owner/advisor does the thinking for them. Hmmm, LBJ, Wade, Bosh turned the Basketball world on its head. Why?

They did the unthinkable, sacrificed millions of dollars in salary.

Chose the road less travelled by joining forces.  Each player took a hit to their character. Why b/c every team has a clear #1 player.

This squad arguably has 3 now. That’s never happened.

HEAT RISING…..

That team meeting after the DAL loss has proven to be definitive. These guys took personal accountability on the flurry of losses. Instead of imploding they ‘clapped back’ by getting on the same page & getting it done on the court.
Therse guys are sharing the ball more, still to much LBJ dribbling at top of key for too long into hte shot clock. Yet, Bosh has answered the critics w/ some effective play down low. He has scored some with his back to the basket. He’s been aggressive more earlier & later in games.

Wade has started to drive hard to the basket, as well as finishing layups the rim.
Even LBJ has taken better shots within the flow of the offense to keep the team engaged in its offensive sets, or half court sets. The HEAT is playing better, and the win over ATL is a quality win despite the absence of JJ.
This week the team shoulde aim at 5-0 with highly competitive games on the road, punctuated w/ victories over to Western Conference powerhouses in UTA & NOH.

I’m excited about the potential now hte HEAT seem to have that much needed chemistry, & on court cohesion that had been missing when observing the Big 3. Now, they each singularly & collectively seem to be dialed in intense, engaged & ON FIRE!!!

LET”S GET IT MIA….. As Khujo from the GOODIEMOB sayss; ” HEAT make anything move, even TYSON can get laid down w/ this tool!”

Let’s move HEAT past ATL, ORL, BOS in the standings & to our rightful place challenging SAS & UTA for the best reccord in the NBA.
