Welp y'all, my solar panels went bye-bye! If you remember, in early November when I was working with Modern Wash LA my driver's side solar panel flipped over and was hanging off the side of Le ChΓ’teau as if it identified as a damn awning! This morning the passenger side panel did the same thing. Fortunately, I had just turned into the security gate at my clients home. So, I pulled to the side and flipped it back onto my van.
After work, while I was doing 40 miles with my hazards on, the driver's side panel flipped all the way over and was hanging on by 2 thin zip ties. I had to push it out of the way to open my door to get out. I ended up cutting them off, putting them on my bed, and you see where they ended up... In the dumpster. π€¦πΎββοΈ Next time I get solar panels, I will be sure to have someone who can connect them securely, FIRST! Oh well...

Heyyy y'all! In the past I've never posted holiday stuff. This year, for reasons that I can't explain in words, I've felt compelled to do so. With that, I want to say to you, Merry Christmas! π«ΆπΎ I sincerely pray that all of you are in high spirits, feel loved, and are safe. π€πBlessings to you all!

What's good y'all?! I'm almost 100%well. Today was my first day back to work, while I'm at about 85% health. I was exhausted when I finished the day. Lol...
Besides that, things are still moving forward in perfect timing. I'll be happy to post another video... realistically, that'll probably be January 2026. ππΎ
I just wanted to check in with y'all and let you know I'm still nursing myself back to health. π«ΆπΎπ

Hey y'all! As you can see, I'm still sick... I'm getting there though. Today I was asleep ALL DAY because the vicious cough didn't let me sleep ALL NIGHT! I finally fell asleep at around 4am.
I hadn't eaten anything and didn't want to go anywhere today because y'all, my body is drained! I've been so tired from not sleeping, and coughing, dry-heaving and hawking up mucus for the past 8 days. Anyways, I decided to ride up the street to my favorite little store, Seafood City and guess what y'all? I got pulled over! π¨ π π¨ π€¦πΎββοΈI stayed calm because I have a prayer that I say every single time before I drive... y'all know my plates are expired, so I wrap myself in protection. They were cool and I was completely upfront with them about EVERYTHING! They did give me a ticket and told me (which I didn't know) that my brake light bulb is out.
So, then while I was in Seafood City, after I put in my order of mackerel to be fried, I met this nice black couple, Janice & Roman, we started chatting it up, I told Janice that I'm a van lifer and that my stove is broken so I had them cook the fish for me AND THEY SEASON IT TOO! She asked me a few questions about my van then asked if I was on social media. (Of course I am π) I gave her my channel name and ya girl's face popped right up... As she's scrolling she sees, "Life After Incarceration" π Yep, so of course I told them the situation and since we were in person, I told them what I said on YT Live that actually got me the felony in the first place.
Janice and Roman, I just want to say how nice it was to meet you both. It was a pleasure talking with you two. Roman, I hope you catch some good fish. Maybe I'll see you in the comments, Janice! π

Some of y'all are probably stuck on the ticket I got...Lol. If you've been watching me for a while, you know my philosophy, everything happens FOR ME, not to me. Everything is in alignment and I Am aligned at the center of it. In due time, you guys will know more of what I've been up to. Thanks for rocking with me and if you want to show your support, the holidays are coming and my journals make the perfect gift for anyone in your life...adult AND child. Link in my homepage! π«ΆπΎ

This violent cough is awful! I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. π·π Every time I think I see light at the end of the tunnel, I have another sleepless night of coughing, and hacking up mucus.
God take this wicked sickness away from me! Remove this from my body and restore me back to health! ππΎ

I've always said that helping is a blessing because it's always going to cost the helper in one way or the other. I can tell you countless stories of where I've helped others and it cost me more than I anticipated. It's in my nature though, I will always be a servant to humanity.
Being sick sucks, especially being someone who gets sick very easily and so severely. I truly don't have time to be laid up sick as hell but you know what I always say... God knows best! ππΎ If you CAN help, do it. It's always better, even though you may have to suffer for it. It's only a temporary test of your will and your faith. #GodKnowsBest
