The Minimalist Yogi

I just came from listening to probably the least uninterested lecture ever!! by the amazing Senator Romeo Dallair.  I've read all of his books, and I have to say meeting the man who has inspired  me was just amazing!!! He talked a lot of the issue with atrocities, why it keep happening, and the lack of preventable actions. Among the things that really stood out for me was his argument that democracy does not happen within a period of time, but it requires time not 8 years, but maybe 80 years or even more. This really stood to me because we have the tendency of thinking that democracy can be imposed in nations where it has never existed. When in reality it has to start slowly with having institutions that advocates, and allows for discourse about democracy. Another point that he spoke about was the issue of unsustainable method of preventing atrocities. He argues that its about sustainable way of thinking, rather than thinking about the short term what's needed is long term

Little something to start the Week off with.

Having to wake up to birds chirping is great!!  Lately I've been feeling really tired, exhausted, and fatigue which I thought I was me over working myself, but then i realized its my lack of eating, especially because I am vegetarian who is iron deficient and I barely eat any protection or dairy products such as egg or even drink milk. So with this daytime saving hopefully I can gain some of that energy, and gain my health back. With that said, as of today I launching top five things which I either discovered during the week or just enjoyed. 1 . Going Natural : I have decided to do the big chop which is a "movement"mainly in the black women community of going natural, no weave, braids, wigs(which I cannot and will never wear) and processed chemicals in your hair, just embracing your naturally beau
