I’ve felt a lot of darkness these last few weeks.. 185 is a vulnerable look into it all & a reminder that grieving is a necessary part of growth
💭 Getting the news that my dad passed away while I was at Mini O’s
💭 My dad dreamed so big that sometimes it was hard to keep up
💭 Grieving never really has to stop because it’s a celebration through the highs & lows
💭 My dad launched Jonathan Smith winery with Lil Jon
💭 Not knowing what to do with my emotions & getting lost in bottling up all of the overflow
💭 By 32 my dad had 3 albums, 4 restaurants, is tied to the roots of FMF & has the inside break at Swami’s in San Diego named after him
💭 My dad owned 2 successful tracks, Star West & Competition Park & was always taking care of the community
💭 Grieve, but never leave grace
💭 Grateful I got to see all of my family in California
💭 Stay on the mend until the end — On the mend isn’t perfect, perfect is the benchmark of what we all think we have to be
💭 God intended us to be perfect in his light & our truth
💭 God infused this gift in me to spread the love
💭 I can’t thank everyone enough for their support during this time
💭 Grieving never has to stop, but you need to find channels to open up
💭 The feeling of losing my grandma during the pandemic
💭 Keep dreaming! If something’s in your heart, carry it with you & trust your gut to guide the way
I know times may be tough, but it's vital to share what's on your mind. Today I’m encouraging you to find a away to let it all out 🫶
Part 2 on the way…
