Be a deliberate creator

Hey beautiful people! It’s another beautiful day here in the ATL, and I just had to stop by and share some love. 💛

Life can be challenging, but remember this: whatever is manifesting in your reality, you created it. You are the creator of your experiences—through your thoughts, your expectations, and, most importantly, how you feel.

Most people create by default. They believe other people or circumstances are responsible for what happens to them. But the truth is: no one “does you” anything—short of putting their hands on you. Words and actions only have power if you give them power. It’s all about how you choose to interpret things.

Someone calls you a derogatory name—you have a choice. You can hang your head and feel bad or mad, or you can lift your head, smile, and know that just because they said it, it doesn’t make it true. The choice is yours.

Here’s something else people get wrong: repeating positive affirmations is not the magic key to manifesting. If it were, we’d see more people manifesting their dreams. Think about it—how many folks walk around claiming to be “blessed and highly favored” while their lives are a mess? That’s because your feelings, not your words, set the tone for what shows up in your life.

Want to know what you’re creating? Check your feelings. Feeling down, sad, overwhelmed, or brokenhearted? You’re drawing negative outcomes. Feeling joyful, optimistic, happy, or content? You’re drawing positive outcomes. Yes—it really is that simple.

It’s about how you feel. Manage your feelings, and you’ll master the art of creating. You don’t have to spend all day thinking positive thoughts—especially when life bombards you with challenges. The best thing you can do is focus on feeling good, if not great, and watch your experiences shift.

In every situation, no matter how heavy, try to see the good. If you can’t, go to another place in your mind where you can feel good. Shut out the world, go inside yourself, and make yourself feel good.

And if that doesn’t work… maybe it’s time for a deeper emotional detox. I'm just saying,  #igotissues. What about you?

When “3-Day Priority” Becomes a 3-Week Mystery: My Ongoing USPS Saga

If you’ve ever mailed something with the U.S. Postal Service and trusted their “Priority 3-Day” promise, you probably expect your package to actually arrive in three days. I did too — until I mailed a box to myself from St. Croix, Virgin Islands on July 26th. As of today, it still hasn’t reached me.

Tracking shows it’s stuck in Puerto Rico, caught in what feels like a delivery purgatory. This isn’t my first time dealing with this kind of delay, and sadly, I’m not alone. Many people in St. Croix have had the same frustrating experience — packages from Amazon, Walmart, and other retailers either go missing or languish in transit for weeks.

What’s worse, the USPS charged me for “Priority” shipping, but when the service isn’t delivered on time, they aren’t exactly quick to offer a refund. Instead, they ask for an itemized list of the box’s contents — receipts included — before even considering a claim. That’s a problem when some of the items are older and don’t have receipts. Even though the box is insured, I’m left wondering: will I ever see those items again, or get fair reimbursement if I don’t?

For me, this isn’t just about the money. It’s about accountability. If a shipping company promises a delivery window and charges a premium for it, they should be held to that standard. People should be able to trust that their packages will arrive safely and on time — without disappearing into a logistical black hole somewhere between islands.

The Postmaster needs to take this ongoing issue seriously. This isn’t just one lost box; it’s part of a pattern that’s hurting residents, businesses, and the island’s connection to the rest of the country. Until changes are made, every package feels like a gamble — and the house is winning far too often. I'm just saying,  ##igotissues.  What about you? 🦋

Virgin Islands Lt. Governor's Mansion

 

I've lived on the island for 29 years and never knew about the Lt. Governor's Residence, let alone go inside. On my last trip to the island, as luck would have it, I stayed right behind it. So I decided to take a peep. #usvi #vigovernment #wastefulspending  #fema #igotissues #nofear #virginislands #governmenthouse

Missing Package from USPS in Puerto Rico

it's a growing concern that packages going through the Puerto Rico Postal Distribution Center are going missing. I recently mailed a box priority mail from St. Croix to myself in Atlanta. It was to arrive in 3 days. So far, it has not yet arrived. The delivery notification says my package is still in transit to the next facility. It's been saying that for over a week now.

In scrolling through my Facebook news feed, I came across a post from Grantley Samuel, who is also experiencing difficulty receiving a package. After reading most of the 90 comments, it became evident that these are not isolated cases. There seems to be a trend with missing packages from the Puerto Rico Distribution Center. 

This issue could very well impact resident's ability to order products stateside as companies may decide it is not cost effective to continue mailing items to the US Virgin Islands. This issue reminds me of a time, some years ago, when a trailer full of mail and packages thought to be lost,  was found years later sitting on the Puerto Rico Postal Distribution Center's property.

Open message to #uspsamaster #usps: Please launch an investigation into the #puertorico Distribution Center. This is not  normal. Someone is stealing packages or they just not doing their job. Either way,  it needs to stop!!. I'm just saying,  #igotissues . What about you? 🦋
