God is testing you a little bit, it’s ok, be strong. . . they are called growing pains . . . as you know, we grow through adversity and struggle . . . you read my books and heard me preach your whole childhood . . . reach back to old lessons and remember to remember “smile and breathe” ❤️ “smile and breathe” . . . you are the watchers of this world . . . so let go . . . be at ease . . . God is driving and he is working on you ❤️
DEEPLY sorry for being frustrated and yelling . . .
but know this . . . there are no conditions . . . for sure i love you guys more than i love myself
Practice loving each situation… that sounds difficult or “impossible ” but the enlightened ones are separated from life’s ups and downs the established yogi sees life like a move His heart is so open that all his directions for “his role” come directly from God …This person grounded in yoga sees only God in all situations This state of Christ conciousness and or freedom is lifes end result and only goal therefore retain the practice “let go and let God”
SO i went to America 9 days ago my office (Gushcloud) there had some critical meetings that “zoom couldn’t fix” –
and my new venture w/@snoopdogg and his son @cbroadus Sharestix is really exciting.. this kid @cbrodus i call him my mentor …..also i was co hosting a fun bet party (the prelude) with @mclyte which i helped set up but decided against attending ❤️
fyi i generally only make those trips with the expectations that i can see my daughters
last fathers day i spent 3 days in a row in nyc with my beloved @aokileesimmons but this year God or the devil 👿 had other plans .:/still for sure im grateful for all experiences God sends… sometimes they are not easy to digest but there ARE lessons ,. Remember to remember to always look for the blessings in the perceived curses, they are always there
congratulations to honorees of first annual prelude celebration @monascottyoung @officialbigdaddykane and @bustarhymes special shoutout to @stanlathan @alanelliott8 @simonereyes @porschethomas ans my partners @mclyte and @lynnrichardson

Maybe The biggest rapper / draw for shows in queens was a very talented rapper his stage name was Woody Wood Woody was a clear cut unapologetic knock off of the great dj hollywood
He like everyone in hip hop studied hollywood but he took all of hollywoods routines and did them line for line for a living!!!!! and was a big star in queens because of it …he had woodys angels like hollys angels he had a disco son as did kurtis blow (dj run who later became rundmc like (dj small the son of hollywood) who also recorded all of you people who unintentionally distort history please go ask any 65 -75 year old living in harlem or the bronx before u add to the misinformation happy hip hop 50 i hope hollywood and cheba get their recognition ❤️
❤️
Happiness is attained easier if you Take life as it comes ./.each gift comes in a different season practice loving all seasons
