I've noticed a few things since traveling abroad ...
1. a passport replaces all IDs.
2. credit score is NOT a thing.
3. renting an apt is both easy and complex.
4. it's colder in Africa than we think.
5. amazon charges way less for prime.
6. america is not the promised land.

Just wrapped up communication with a new steam client. About to enjoy a stuffed cabbage rolls gifted by my neighbor, and a cup of hibiscus tea. Good food, healing herbs, and helping others are three of my favorite things.

- Clear out clutter to open the way for clear thoughts and energy.
- Plant a vegetable garden to feed yourself + community.
- Buy land for future family/communal housing.
- Support local black businesses.
- Rest. Rest. And rest some more.
