Persist and Consequence Shall Induce Itself Has A Fro....Grief is a bald headed monkey in a bad wig AND Renewal and Reset Soul of the Valley

On May 7th, my world changed when I lost my 6.5-pound Chihuahua, Ethel Mertz. She was my everything, and her absence left a massive void. In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey of crawling my way back into life after profound loss. Grief is a bald-headed monkey in a bad wig—it’s ugly, it’s chaotic, and it shows up uninvited—but healing comes when we choose to keep going anyway. The Art of the "Off" Switch In this episode of TNFro is Reading, Felicia Baxter moves beyond the hustle culture narrative to explore the necessity of radical rest. We’re stepping away from the screens and into the "Soul of the Valley"—a curated, luxury retreat experience designed specifically for leaders who are tired of managing everyone else’s needs but their own. Felicia breaks down the philosophy of finding a "softer altitude," the power of intentional unplugging, and the details of her upcoming all-inclusive immersion at The Glamping Collective. What You’ll Learn * Why Rest is a Leadership Skill: How constant "on" behavior leads to diminishing returns and why intentional downtime is non-negotiable for high performers. * The "Soul of the Valley" Experience: A look inside a transformative weekend featuring private luxury dome accommodations, restorative sound baths, and guided mindfulness workshops. * Curated Culinary Healing: A preview of the farm-to-table menu designed to nourish the soul, featuring local Chattanooga flavors. * Investment in Self: Understanding the value of an all-inclusive, curated sanctuary versus a standard vacation. Episode Details * Retreat Location: The Glamping Collective (Chattanooga, TN) * Total Investment: $3,250 per guest (All-inclusive) * Booking Requirement: 50% non-refundable deposit ($1,625) to secure your dome. * Call to Action: Ready to hit the "off" switch?

The selected books, “It’s Complicated” by Terry McMillan and “Singing in the Comeback Choir” by B.B. Moore Campbell, align with the retreat’s theme of renewal and reconnection, offering uplifting and engaging narratives.   “Heart and Hustle, Houston” is a docuseries produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment that showcases the lives of six successful women in Houston. The show delves into their personal and professional struggles. Amanda Boulo’s downfall on Summer House is examined, revealing her manipulative and abusive behavior towards Kyle. Her privileged background allowed her to play the victim and weaponize her pain, ultimately leading to her calculated betrayal of Sierra Miller for Wes Wilson. This act exposed her true nature and alienated her from former allies like Paige. * Get Your Brew: Grab your single-origin or multi-origin sample packs at FBRoasters.com [https://fbroasters.com/]. * The Reading List: Start exploring the retreat reading list at the Far From Beale Street [https://bookshop.org/lists/valley-of-the-soul-reading-list] bookshop. * Join the Retreat: Secure one of the 10 exclusive spots for the Valley of the Soul Retreat by visiting the webpage https://www.dalesangelsinc.com/soul-of-the-valley/ What books should I add to the retreat reading list?

On May 7th, my world changed when I lost my 6.5-pound Chihuahua, Ethel Mertz. She was my everything, and her absence left a massive void. In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey of crawling my way back into life after profound loss. Grief is a bald-headed monkey in a bad wig—it’s ugly, it’s chaotic, and it shows up uninvited—but healing comes when we choose to keep going anyway. Healing isn’t a destination; it’s a daily practice of showing up for yourself with a clear head and a grateful heart. I’m diving into my personal "wellness reset" and the daily rituals that keep me grounded: from seated morning Zumba to get the blood pumping, to a mindful, system-flushing herbal tea blend (ginger, rosemary, lemon balm, and basil), and of course, that essential morning cup of single-origin Kenya coffee from FB Roasters. We also explore the mental nourishment of reading, ancestral practices, and how it all connects to the Afro-Druid ethos of interconnected healing. Plus, I share a hilarious cautionary tale about accidentally making my French roast a little too strong this week!   Reset With Me: Valley of the Soul Retreat I am hosting an intimate wellness retreat right here in Chattanooga at the Glamping Collective from July 23rd through July 26th. With only 10 spots available, this is your opportunity to quiet your soul, enjoy solitude or fellowship, and receive life through yoga, tai chi, sound baths, and guided meditation.

Persist And Consequence Shall Induce Itself..Revisiting the shade of Pope Leo and China.

I am going through a time right now, and I don't have the energy or drive to create new episodes. I will be taking my own advice and will be seeking clarity. Thanks for understanding and listening.   Revisit Setting Intentions...Pope Leo Still Kicking the Knowledge; Sun Tzu Could Not Have Imagined New Age Chinese or 50 Cent Level of Petty. Revisiting this episode because sometimes you have to repeat yourself for it to stick... If you believe God has healed you from a physical illness, mental illness, or some type of imbalance, why are you still moving the same way you did to break your body so much down to your genetic code, or in an alternate reality, or your credit score in the single digits? What if what you believe is not a true Godly revelation but your own self-centered counsel? Truth comes in many forms.   What has been draining your spirit? 5 types of people to avoid to navigate the next chapter in life in peace and freedom, and not chaos. If someone's constant complaining suffocates the joy, God is trying to nourish in you, then you must protect your inner sanctuary. The second type is the manipulator. This is the most subtle and often the most painful. Manipulation does not come with shouting. It comes wrapped in words that sound like care, like duty, like obligation. Manipulators use guilt to control. They speak of love but demand submission. God NEVER weaponizes guilt. Therefore, every person who steals your freedom is damaging the gift God placed in you.  3rd type They remind you of old mistakes, not to heal you, but to diminish you. They keep you fixed in an outdated portrait of who you once were, refusing to see the grace God has formed in you.  Your past is not a weapon for others to wield. 4th Darkness Bearers one who carries darkness. Not always in obvious ways, not always with dramatic sins, but with a presence that pulls the soul away from the light. These are the people who normalize what leads you away from God, who diminish the seriousness of sin, who feed resentment, who speak lightly of what wounds the conscience, who invite you into anger, division, or habits that cloud the clarity of prayer. A neighbor arrives not with warmth but with gossip that stains the mind. A relative comes not with compassion but with burdensome anger that pulls the spirit into old conflicts.  5th Silent but just as deadly This cold silence is not the silence of contemplation. It is the silence of indifference. It is the silence that neither builds nor comforts. A relative who shows no interest in your well-being. A friend who never asks how your heart is. A companion who takes but never gives.  Your soul is too close to eternity to be entangled in the shadows of others. Rise above the storms of others. You will live the later years as God intended, not in confusion, but in clarity, not in exhaustion, but in grace.  Pope Leo is still kicking the knowledge.  Navigate to Pope Leo Speaks on 5 Types of People to Avoid that are Peace Wreckers [https://youtu.be/8lrb7qiwF7w?si=SPyFCJgaGt0uOdD5] to view the video in its entirety. No, I am not Catholic. But, this Pope Leo XIV is literally a "cousin". And has emphatically stated he is not MAGA. As the first American-born pope, has said that his nationality means that people cannot say he "doesn't understand the United States," as they did with Pope Francis. This statement indicates that he feels his perspective is uniquely informed and that he will be more effective in his engagement with the US government. He has expressed support for US bishops who took a stance against the Trump administration's deportation policies. By doing so, he is indirectly criticizing the administration while also encouraging other bishops to follow suit. While Pope Leo XIV has stated that he wants to avoid "partisan politics," he has also said that he is not afraid to "raise issues" that are related to the Gospel. This creates a fine line that he seems willing to cross, and his comments on human dignity, immigration, and wealth inequality can be interpreted as a moral and religious critique of the administration's policies. I am not a Communist nor a sympathizer of the autocratic regime in power in China. But, I admire the shade. Leaving this felon administration on hold listening to #Obama speeches is classic!! Even Sun Tzu could have anticipate the level of shade of the new age Chinese nor 50 cent for that matter. #pettylujah  Seasonal Affective Disorder Is Treatable and all of us should be about fixing our mental health always....
