Wake Up to Love:  Creativity as Currency

You know when you get a good song stuck in your head?

It hums like a mantra to your heart.

Tastes both sweet and sharp.

Like fresh squeezed juice in the morning.


I want to gift this song to you…

 

Woke up this mornin’…

With my mind…

Set on…

Lovin me.

-              Jamila Woods

 

I use it when there’s a shift coming

and right now

– we can all smell the change in the wind.

 

May these 10 words ground you.

 

May this wide, bright self-love

draw our fears close,

into an embrace

that reminds us

of our own divine essence.  


May this song spark your soul’s power-  

may it give fear a warm, grandma hug,

 a cup of tea,

and a WHOLE seat.

Because fear can NOT be taking the lead.

 

I feel the change.

And in the wind is the stirring of the sisterhood.

 

We are waking up to love on each other. 

We are circulating our currency within the culture.

Because loving on our sisters IS loving on ourselves.


So, let’s talk about you.

You’re dreaming, writing, coding, building NEW things

and its beautiful

 

It can also feel overwhelming.

 I know that truth to the bone.

But this is your lane.

Women are natural creators.

 

As an artist who has shown at the Louvre  Museum, London and Times Square,NYC...

 I’ve felt the strain to create

when there doesn’t seem to be enough

- time OR cash.

I’ve felt like there was a raging river

between where I am and where I want to be.

 

Sistagirl, THIS is where creativity comes in.

When funds end

and time is NOT your friend…

creativity is that energy you want.


It activates Spirit.


 And chile, spirit can work Out of time.


Spirit can condense time.


Spirit can work OVERTIME.


While . You’re . Resting.


 It’s changing hearts and opening doors for you in and out of time.


Creativity is in your DNA. You ARE a creator.

 

Though… she DO need to invite it in.

You know, make space for creativity to bloom.

 

How?

 

I’m glad you asked.


Play.

Laughter.

Rest.


Humming that little song at the top of this love letter until it becomes your mantra.


Set your creativity FREE.


Let Spirit love on you.


Play.

Dance.

Laugh.

 

In that space...

the universe whispers though you.


It mends fears

and returns them to their original state…

dreams


That- hold -you -back fear... is a distorted dream.


Reclaim your creativity

and you can reimagine the fear back into a dream.


Creativity, sis.


It’s the bridge over raging waters.

 

I've found that creativity is the currency that we can cash in on.

 We can create for

- and be supported by

- the culture.

 

We are showing up for each other.

Because we know that we need to. 


And right now,


We need your creative self 

to come off of the shelf.


So, get in the kitchen

And start brewin’

What’s been stewin’

in you.

 

Because I want to be the FIRST in line to show up and support your dreams!


The best part is that it won’t only be me.


You’re in the sisterhood.

and we ALL come thru…

just

for

you.


Because you need it.


And we need you.


Because you deserve support.


And we WANT to uplift your dreams.

 

So…

Smile.

Rest.

Laugh.

Play.

Dance.

 

And let your light OUT!

 

Hum a lil’ of our mantra with me, Sis.

1,2,3 and…

 

Woke up this mornin’

With my mind…

Set on…

LOVIN’ ME.

Love,

Thalia Elie - Your Sistagirl
