“Joy, rather than happiness, is the goal of life, for joy is the emotion which accompanies our fulfilling our natures as human beings. It is based on the experience of one’s identity as a being of worth and dignity.” Rollo May
“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.” Marcus Aurelius

We will be back soon, with updated changes, that we hope are beneficial to all. We thank you for your overstanding & patience.
And as always…

🍾🎉It’s official. P.L.O.T.S. is now legally licensed & open for business, TODAY!!!🎉🍾
I can’t tell you, how much this means. Today, started off, filled with pain and weariness. Everything that could go wrong? Lol, yeah, it went wrong. But a voice deep within said, “Max? How bad do you want it?” So, I pushed through the pain, limping and all, and got this done!
I’m an official business owner! Feels gotdayum good too, lol!!! I’ve accomplished a lot here in Georgia & I’m not done yet, lol! I’ve only just begun to shine.
So now I get to charge a fee for my services. The Most High, The Ancestors, & My Mommy keep blessing me. I thank them profusely, my Sister Denise, my Nephew Dominique, my Cousin Roger, my Sister Shelly, and all the supporters & those who gave words of encouragement. Because through all that went wrong today? So much went right. Opportunities just started flying off the walls. Yeah, I’m blessed.
Don’t you guys EVER! Give up on yourselves. You have to be your own best friend, cheering section & hype team. Find people who will stick beside you & share your passion for accomplishment. And like I said…
“IN THIS LIFE & OR THE NEXT, I AM UNDEFEATABLE!!!”
Many of us have gone through or are going through so much in this life. Now, I am not a religious individual, so I follow no religion. However, I am a spiritual individual & have trust in the power of The Most High, Our Ancestors, & within Self
So much abuse – child abuse/elder abuse/ domestic abuse/self abuse/animal abuse, pain, loss of life & loved ones, sacrifices, mistreatment, unfairness, ailments – physical & mental, poverty – losing your job/not having a job, homeless – right now some are reading this and are without a decent place to sleep, hunger – many reading barely have enough to eat or wondering where the food is going to come from & even praying for another Stimulus Check, illiterate – yes not knowing how to read & comprehend is a silent hell for many, racism, injustice, hatred of self & by others, lonely – no special someone or even surrounded by others but still alone, crime, looking back on the past, while hating your now & dreading your existence day-by-day, not to mention the losses & fears of COVID-19, the list can go on & on and we end up wallowing in the pit of chaos.
I have no magic answers. But what I can say is, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. I love all of you. Yes, even though I don’t know most of you personally, lol! So what? So, I have to know you, to have love & compassion for you? No! As human beings, it’s the right thing to do, to have love for your Brothers & Sisters, as we are each others keepers. What we need? People who can listen when you feel the need to vent or cry. People who aren’t scared to say “I’ve been there & I’m sorry you’re suffering.” People who can reach out & simply offer a hug, phone-call, text, or video chat. Maybe you can even share a meal or clothing with someone less fortunate. They don’t even have to know it’s you. I’ve dropped food & money on a families doorstep without them even knowing. I don’t have much, but I share what I can. And if you’re religious? Then keep up your prayers, while trying to physically help someone, don’t just sit there praying all day & waiting for a miracle. Someone can use your help, somewhere, trust me.
We’re on Facebook, sometimes daily or all day. But do we really know the struggles that people are going through? Do we care? Do we even ask?…
Yes, we all have lives, but remember we’re not living in this world alone. There are many on here, who contact me & we chat. Not because of anything, except to have a listening ear. I’ve met some amazing Souls here too by the way. So, my point is, take a moment to ask people if they’re okay. It could mean the world to someone & change a life.
If anyone needs a friend to talk to? I may not do the phone & video thing, but I’ll text you to death, lol! But hit me up on Facebook Messenger, send me an email; maxapoetess@yahoo.com, DM (direct message) me on Instagram – poetrylanguageofthesoul, or on Twitter -@maxwanette, I read ALL my messages. Give me a moment, but I’ll get to each one.

Have you ever eaten something & you literally felt it giving & regenerating your cells & energy within? Like it just woke-up your Chi???⚛
I’m telling you! This salad I made this morning has me boosted, lol! Think it was the cayenne? 😆 But seriously, it was sooo good? I see a repeat for lunch & dinner. Yummerzzz🤤
Many are unaware, that it took a long time for me to find myself & my voice. When I first heard my own recording, it gave me chills. I couldn’t believe, that strong, passionate, deepfelt sound, came from me.
When you’re used to being silenced, unheard, or ignored, it’s easy to become lost in oneself. I thank EVERYONE, who gave me strength not only to find my voice, but to own it.
Because it simply feels darn good, lol! It gives me a moment to relax, let go of stress, and negative energies.
Sure when I start? My mind is usually racing and or bogged down with something. It takes a moment to relax, quiet the brain, and allow the vibes to do what they do.
I for one, lay down, get comfy, make sure my Himalayan Salt Lamps are on, burn my sage, set my tones (sort of like the Tibetan Bowls sound), play my meditation music and let go, bit by bit, until I’m fully in a meditative state. I stretch, hug myself, fart – yes, I said fart, lol! The colon has to meditate too, lol! And often, by the time I’m fully into it, I’m falling asleep. Internal & External Oneness & Peace.
