Concrete Jungle

This is my written blog, audio version always has additions of storytelling:)

One of my all-time favorite music artists has always been the infamous Bob Marley. Yes, his lyrics have inspired me with positivity since my teenage years. No matter what hell I felt I was going through in my life over the past 35 years, listening to Bob’s lyrics & the Wailers high-vibrational tunes always brought my solace & light to my being. Now, there are many many other musicians that have also brought positivity to my life, but since I’m titling this in honor of Bob, I had to state his absolute immense presence & I know I’m not alone in this feeling…obviously(;

As the song sings, “No sun will shine in my day today”…”Darkness has covered my Light”…”Where is the Love to be Found”? “No chains around my feet, but I’m not Free”…
So many right now, more than ever are feeling this way & it’s very sad. I’m someone who is sensitive to what’s going on and wish I could help in so many ways, it’s exhausting and I have to manage my energy constantly.

I’m writing this for inspiration on where & how to find the light in hopes of helping even a few. We are all here to give our gift/s to the world. We all have a purpose to be here now. Like, Bob stated the “sweet light must be somewhere to be found, instead of this concrete jungle-confusion…”

Soooo, vitamins oh vitamins!! Two are absolutely free: Vitamin L aka Love & Vitamin D aka Sunshine vitamin. Ok, so maybe these are sometimes “freebee’s”. I’m aware that many of us struggle with the love factor as well as getting adequate sunlight.

If you are struggling with feeling Love, I spoke on ways to give yourself love a few episodes ago & I’m sure there are tons of others…one that comes to mind is being aware or practice of awareness in what you are consuming. Food is medicine & either heals you or depletes you on a daily. Remembering we are what we eat, including drink & what we listen to & watch. All senses are unlocked & vulnerable to our environment.

Love is everywhere in many forms. Music is Love! Generating love vibes create more love vibes, let love in, let it grow & nourish you, so there is more circulating! Take time for self, sending love signals within, which will eminate throughout your being & penetrate others to pass it on(: It can be a Love Challenge~
More love creates more light, less darkness & more freedom. Bob’s, Concrete Jungle lyric says, “I will always be laughing like a clown”. I think this means that the jungle out there, that be, may try and bring you down, but if you know better than crumbling into the dark abyss, than you will be able to shine bright even in the darkest times. Find & Create Love. It’s Free to Give & Receive!!

The Sunshine Vitamin, which we all know is D is good for so many things in the body. Vitamin D supports everything from immune system health to bone strength & gut health. The list goes on & on! Keeping this brief, we all should keep in mind that this vitamin is absolutely essential to our well-being. Creating more light within, shining bright on the darkest days when doom-scrolling or gloomy weather abounds, this vitamin must be supplemented in many parts of the world. Especially if you live North of the Equator then being aware of your D levels is crucial for sustaining proper health.

D is primarily obtained freely from sunlight, so supplementation or dietary sources (fatty fish, egg yolks, fortified foods) may be necessary, especially for those who are indoors often, wear sunscreen, have darker skin, or live in low-sunlight areas. There are many great supplements on the market, I’ll drop links to a few of my favorites in show notes..

→While I type & listen to YT Music, my eyes led me to this comment from @sweetmorningcafe on a NYC Jazz Mix Playlist: “To anyone who's reading this, ITS GOING TO BE OK. I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, and the over thinking, and the doubt exit your mind right now and may clarity and understand replace confusion. I declare peace and calmness to fill your life”.
