Good morning everybody. We're doing this again. Welcome to the second vlog of my day. I think what I'm going to do for this vlog though is the whole weekend, well not the whole weekend, Saturday and Sunday. It is about 6 30 a.m. on Saturday morning, February 18th. I had to think about that for a second. I released my first vlog yesterday and you guys had some questions about how I squeeze in like my dog, all that kind of stuff. And so I thought that I would vlog for Saturday and Sunday. It did not exercise this morning. I know for you guys doing the shadow work challenge Saturday is self-study Saturday. Typically Saturdays are like rest days where we don't work out or practice anyway because it's the day of Saturn, which the good side of Saturn is karma, it's father time, it's the matrix. And so it's typically Saturday and traditional yoga is a day of reflection, a day of rest. A lot of times I do practice or exercise on Saturdays just because of my schedule and how I can fit it in with my schedule. But today I'm not doing a practice because it is the second day of my cycle.  It's the heaviest day. I did not sleep very well last night. A lot of cramps last night. Actually, maybe the ladies will appreciate this.  And I'd started early Friday morning. So by the evening I was like in it.  I just wanted that fresh air on my face and my boyfriend was just complaining, complaining. I was like, listen, listen, you listen. The day comes that you're bleeding out like a dead animal. Then you can tell me that you can control the air conditioning. But for tonight, since you aren't bleeding out like a dead animal and I am, you could just put a sweatshirt on if you're cold. So, you know, it just it is what it is, right? We have to go through this once a month. I know, you know, but I should start to feel better by this afternoon and by tomorrow. My cycle is only like really like three days. By the last two days is just it's so light that it's like nothing. So I'm hoping that tomorrow morning I'll be able to work out a practice again. I do, I teach tomorrow. I teach a live, so I teach a live class and I really, really, really always, always, always want to do my practice or do my workout before I teach because it sets my body up to be able to adjust better and be more presently in my body so that I can serve as my students better. That's just something that we really talk about a lot in the yoga world. In order for me to be a good teacher, I have to really be in my practice in order to be available for my students practice. So it's really important to me that tomorrow I get up super early and do I'm going to be doing bar again tomorrow because it is the third day of my cycle. And the first three days of your cycle is typically, generally speaking, for most women is when the uterus is contracting. And so tomorrow I'll be doing bar again, probably super early in the morning, not yoga. I'll go back to yoga when I probably by Monday when my period is not, my uterus is not contracting anymore. So all right you guys, so I did get up. I already ate a little something because I was kind of considering just starting blogging tomorrow, but I thought now what they had a lot to it anyway today. You guys asked about my dog from Monday's video, my sweet boyfriend. Days when I am really busy and I have a lot of shows to do, he is the one that will voluntarily take my dog out for me after he's out of work. So he typically is the one that will do that for me on days when I have tons of shows to do and tons of work to do. If I lived in a colder climate or a less humid climate, I probably would be able to go take him out in between shootings and between filming. But the problem with living in Georgia or if you live in Florida or anywhere where it's super hot and super muggy is that if I take him out on a long like hour walk or something, when I come back, I am drenched in sweat just because of the weather and I would have to in order to be professional. I don't want to show up on somebody else's channel a hot sweaty mess. A lot of it, it's not just even about, of course we're all vain, like I don't want to be on the internet looking like a drowned rat, but I also don't want to show up for somebody else's channel. Not putting my best foot forward. I feel like that's just consideration and kindness to do that. If you're going on somebody else's channel, I always want to be prepared. I always want to deliver a better show on somebody else's channel than on my own channel because it means a lot to me when people trust me to come on their show and invite me on their show. I always want to do them a solid. I feel like that's a huge honor when people ask you to come on their shows and ask you to come on their shows as a regular guest. And all the people that I film with, excuse me my nose is running, all the people that I film with are my friends now too. We all met through YouTube, but we're all actually friends now as well. And so of course I want to do my friends as solid as well. So with that being said, I generally just can't take them out when I'm filming, days where I'm filming a lot. So my boyfriend has a volunteer to do that for me. And days that I have finished early, I can typically take them out if all I have to do is research after we get back. I have this morning this Saturday, I am going to be filming with Shanti from Aquarius Rising Africa at 10 this morning. It's for my channel. She's going to be doing a Sun Salutation Challenge coming up within our shadow work challenge. So we're going to film it today. Sorry, I was looking something flew by the window. We're going to be filming it today and it's going to air tomorrow Sunday morning. So I'll take you guys along for that. And then I think after that I'm pretty much done for the day. I typically work on the weekends as well, but not as much as I work on the weekdays. So I think after I get done with filming with Shanti, there might be a couple of things I have to do. I've got to reach out to someone because I'm going to try to get an organic portal episode up this week. And I've got to figure out a good day to film that. So it might be this afternoon we film it or it might be tomorrow after I teach that we film it. We'll see. And then I'll have the rest of the day free. And so hopefully I can take you guys out with my dog on around the city of Atlanta. I'll show you where I walk him. We might go to Oakland Cemetery. I don't know. We'll see. We'll see. It's supposed to be a really pretty day here in Atlanta. It's kind of chilly today, but nonetheless, it's supposed to be chilly for us, I should say. You guys up north and in Canada and like northern Europe, like you would laugh at what we call chilly, but for us it's chilly. So we'll see what the afternoon brings and then I will go. So I went to go get in the shower, but alas, my boyfriend beat me to it and he is really fit. So I'm sure it would be very good footage to take a video of him in the shower. He has a lot of, you know, working out with weights and stuff. He would kill me if I did that. So anyway, I just noticed my bedroom window definitely needs to be clean and keep the blinds closed most of the time because I am as you can see right in the middle of the city. And this guys, this is the culprit. You see that blue, that blue fence up. I keep talking about all the construction next door. This is what's going on. This is sometimes when you hear the bang, bang, bang, bang, bang happening in the video, the in the background of my videos. This is why that's what's happening. So they're building a high rise right here. So yeah. Good morning, Mr. Sugar Booger. Good morning. This is Ravi. Look at that boy. Look at that smug mug. He's a good boy. He's a good boy. He sleeps the bedroom with us at night. But he's already been out this I know. Hi, baby. He's a Baba's boy. He's got his blue sweater on. He loves clothes. Ravi loves clothes. If you hold a sweater out, he will come and jump into it. Oh, he's going to do a look. He's doing his magic mouth. He does this when he pet him. His mouth just opens and closes. His magic ears too when he gets really excited. He says ears pull back. He's a good boy. He's a good boy. Ravi, they wanted more footage of you, buddy.  Say Ravi is from India. He was born in India on the main streets of Mysore in the area of Gokulam. He didn't spend a long time on this streets though. He was rescued as like a three month old puppy and then he flew on an airplane. He went to Paris, France first and then he came over to Atlanta and he lives with us now. He's been with us ever since. Yeah. So his name is Ravi. If you guys can see his name, it's that we gave him an Indian name. Ravi.  But if you look at his coat compared to other Indian pariahs, he's very blonde. Very blonde like his mama. And his ears flop. Most Indian pariahs ears stick up his flop. And so Ravi has a lot. If you look up the dog, the chippy potty dog. Ravi has a lot of chippy potty in him. And chippy potties were the dogs in India that were owned by the Maharajas, the princes of India. In Mysore, where I go in India, there is a big palace, a big the Maharajas palace in Mysore. So it makes sense that there are a lot of chippy potties are street dogs that have chippy potty in them. The chippy potties themselves were not street dogs. They were palace dogs. But it makes sense that some of the dogs would have gotten out and would have mingled with some of the street dogs. So I always say Ravi is a combination of lady. He's lady in the tramp basically. He had a one parent that was royalty was a chippy potty and another parent that was totally street. So he is he is the product of lady in the tramp. He acts like royalty though. We call him the or I call him he's got two he's got a lot of nicknames. One is the Maharaja of Midtown because I live in Midtown. So we call the Maharaja the prince of Midtown. We call him the sheriff because he gets very bossy with other dogs. They call him the sheriff. My boyfriend calls him sugar booger. He's sugar booger. Bubba we call him Bubba. But Ravi's his name. All right you guys it's about 8 30 in the morning. I am just brushing out my hair from the shower. I know there's lots of videos on YouTube that are like get ready with new videos. I've had to watch a few of them because typically if I'm not filming if I'm not before I was on YouTube I would not wear makeup. I'm not someone that typically wears makeup mostly because I'm a very girly girl but I'm not that girly. First of all and second of all my life before YouTube was spent in yoga shawas really hot and sweaty shawas so there was really no point in wearing makeup. So I had to learn how to do makeup for YouTube but I still don't really know how to do makeup. I just do the bare minimum so that your face isn't flushed out. So typically I do my makeup before I dry my hair. So I think today let me get my oh I have some right here. I'm just going to do some like powder. I only really do like I have this cream sometimes I use if I feel like super pale. I'll just put a little bit on. I don't feel very powder right now I'm just going to put a little on to show you guys.  I know a lot of the professional makeup artists they will put um that I've watched they will put the foundation on last and the powder on last I always do it first just how I I don't know but I don't wear like extensive you know they they are very very skilled in like the art of putting makeup on. They do a lot of different eye shadows and different types of eyeliners and that's just not me it's not something that I I respect. I trust and I respect makeup artists to be able to transform someone's face. My makeup is pretty remarkable they're definitely artists within their own right but I am that is not you know not my talent it's not a talent that that I possess. So I kind of start with that sometimes like I said I was typically just going to wear powder today but I just want to show you guys when I'm feeling kind of pale just because of the camera and because of the light that we have that hits the face very important I feel like to kind of adapt your skin so you're not shiny on camera um I'm just going to tap I'm just going to lose a little bit of loose powder on top of that. I don't know if you guys can see hold on one second my nose is running hold up I don't know if you guys can see the difference in the the tone of skin from without makeup to having makeup on and yes before anybody asks I am sitting on the floor in my bedroom at my mirror this is something I've done since I was like in high school I used to do my hair and actually I do I'll dry my hair in the in the in the bathroom but I'll do my hair by the mirror again it's just easier it's it's uh you know some people have vanity sets in there in their bathroom to do hair or do makeup I don't again I live in a very small apartment in the middle of the city so you just make do with what you got all right so I'm gonna do some eye shadow now typically I've watched different tutorials on like different eye colors and what colors are best for different eye colors and apparently pinkish eyeshadow works really well for people with brown eyes and I have blue eyes but I really enjoy I'm digging the pink eyeshadow I've been wearing it for a couple of months now and I get so many messages from you guys um about my eye shadow and it's literally it's from physicians formula I get I get my makeup at the gas station or I'm sorry I get my makeup at the pharmacy like like a cvs or target I don't typically buy super expensive makeup like some people do like my mom always wore a land comb uh makeup or she would have to go to the mall to get expensive makeup um sometimes I'll buy expensive like eye shadow or um mascara because that lasts for a while but no I mean like the mascara I'm using today is also physicians formula uh so I use a little tint of pink as of now where I'll use um kind of a more neutral color for my eye shadow especially for filming in the daytime um so this is what I use as you can see it's kind of messy because eye shadow is messy I've used a lot of the the pink um eye shadow I really dig it and again I have I have uh I have blue eyes so apparently blue white people are not supposed to wear pink eye shadow but seems to work for me um I do use a brown eyeliner which again is apparently really good for that is really good for blue-eyed people is the brown eyeliners from what the experts say but you just gotta work do it works for you even though you know you might have blue eyes or green eyes or brown eyes or whatever um I think every shade is different anyway so I'm just gonna put a little bit of eye layer on again not something I would typically do if I wasn't filming if I wasn't filming I would not have any makeup on whatsoever it's a very light brown color I guess more of a subtle color which I think is the best you know my mother used to say more or less is more and simply elegant to us growing up some mascara I have to really focus with mascara as I don't mess it up and then after I finish this I'm gonna go dry my hair all right so just dry my hair and I've got my straightener plugged in I'm just gonna run a quick straightener through it so it doesn't go wild and um put my jewelry on I've got my evil eye necklace on so I can push the evil covens away so anyway um yeah I'm gonna do my hair now all right everybody there's Mishanti from Aquarius Rise in Africa we're all set up we're about to do our show that will air on Sunday morning by the time this by the time this vlog airs this episode will have already already aired but this is

say it I'm not Italian uh it's from abys it's vegetarian and it's got 230 calories I had some crackers before I gone on with Shanti which was like 160 calories so that's 390 calories so let's just say 400 calories plus I had some like toast this morning which is not great for Evata but I had it anyway that was like 300 calories maybe so it's about 700 calories I've had today so far I'm going to um download this I'm gonna edit it start processing it I've got a load of clothes in the uh wash that I'm gonna flip to the dryer and then a little bit later we're gonna take the dog out on a walk you get to go on a walk with us okay so I just finished um getting it ready to edit so it's so much easier to edit um interviews that I do I don't have to put a whole edit so I can just get through the editing process pretty quickly it's 11 55 a.m I also put the clothes in the dryer and so I'm gonna finish up hopefully this video will download pretty quickly um and I can make the thumbnail get it ready and locked and loaded locked and loaded for tomorrow for Sunday morning and then you guys can come out on a walk with my boyfriend and my dog and me this is where there's a little food court back there you stretch and fill a b o m b there's the w hotel that's the suburbs there's the church of christian scientist that's been there forever so we're in the middle of midtown and there's this old house here that's been here forever it's like a a private restaurant now it's very fascinating it's right across the street from the high museum very old building almost covered at once right when I first started my channel but I don't know why I didn't cover it I'm not covering it when I was focused primarily on stuff in Georgia now I've expanded way outside of Georgia but um here it is the castle it's called the castle fort piece known to the atlantis is the castle because it's a grand night so we have a lot of grand night around the land as you guys know from the georgia guide stones um and yeah it's a restaurant very swanky restaurant now here marda is our public transportation system here in atlanta again high still over there around 15th street right now you can call we've gone all back here before exploring gives us a little pathways back here there's the house here is one of our moda stations it's like our subway our underground we don't use the underground that much so here are most people drawing because in the summertime it's so hot here that like there's no way you want to be underground on a train in this heat but that's the marita station one of them one of the many this is west pete street lots of fun little restaurants and things to do here on west pete street that's the art mora hotel it's kind of a famous hotel here in atlanta so allegedly haunted i say allegedly but i absolutely believe it is because everything's haunted down here but yeah that's one of the famous hotels here rodney is a tuk-tuk this is from your country rodney took a rickshaw the what we call the connector here in atlanta it's the connector because it's where 75 and 85 interstate 75 and 85 join together and they split off look at that atlanta traffic look at all the traffic coming in so this traffic this is going out of the city that other side that's going in today welcome to atlanta other side of the freeway this is now technically atlantic station behind these buildings is like a big outdoor mall who've ever been to los angeles the mall atlantic station is a lot like we're here checking out the arc of atlanta you can get all of this because you guys actually see what they say they actually say this is a portal it says the millennium gate is dedicated to the peaceful accomplishments that have been shaped that have shaped the western world the united states of america and the city of atlanta over the two millennia since the birth of christ a symbolic portal into the city the ensemble refers to the egyptian greek and roman civilization the foundation of western culture the statues of justice and peace represent greek and greece respectively the arc represents realm and is based on the arc of titus cities are the engines of contemporary society and citizens are obligated to the best of their abilities to make their city better than the one in which they were born 18th century georgia one of the 13 original qualities led to establish this tradition and heritage in america her citizens first created the sublime city of savannah one of the world's most extraordinary urban plants and making any of our cities more beautiful we nurture our children and grandchildren we honor ancestors our history in the and ultimately god we have tried to do the millennium gate what do you guys think of that what that's pretty suspicious if you ask me right ravi and my boyfriend are down there we actually sow days when i have to work a lot he sweetly volunteers to take my dog up for me and he was down here exploring the other day i drive over here a lot to go to target he was like holy shit we have to go actually explore this park because there's so much symbolic ship here so that's why we're here today we decided to take you guys so we're coming down into the park right now there it is from here you know i'll go i've actually i think i just said i've never actually been into this park before i drive i drive past this all the time to go to target because targets right back there but i've never actually walked into this park so this is a first for me to be walking in here isn't that crazy about cities though i think a lot of city dwellers can understand that you just drive by so many places you never really go in okay so we're actually walking back through atlantic station thought we'd give you guys a bit of a tour of it i was saying this is a really good rest bank yard house whoops they have a really good veggie burger my guard house hey buddy what's our restaurants here you can live in the apartments up here this is atlantic station okay god my hair is a mess i'm all flushed we just got back from our walk with brahmi i hope you guys enjoyed that little tour of a part of atlanta um i'm waiting for the clothes to finish in the dryer i just finished up loading uh shanti's video i did with her this morning i've made the thumbnail and it's in the it's a processing right now um for tomorrow for it to air sunday at 11 am now i know you guys will get this video way after that episode airs but currently it is now about 2 30 in the afternoon i think that i'm actually going to do a little bit of stretching since we did about three mile a three mile walk just to kind of loosen up my hamstrings a little bit and then i'll probably fold the laundry when it's done and i'll start to wind down my day i know it's kind of early for a saturday but i am getting up early tomorrow because it's heat on sundays so um so yeah all right you guys backward all started i'm back in the bed i just took a really hot bath i had some dinner of spaghetti marinara but the spaghetti was made out of zucchini and lentils just taken an early night tonight i'm gonna get up really early tomorrow morning and exercise before i teach so i'm gonna go to bed early tonight i'm not feeling that great i got a bit of a headache also so yeah i'm hitting the bed early i'm gonna watch some movies just chill out um yeah so i will see you guys in the morning good morning everybody it is almost seven o'clock on sunday morning my morning has not gone as planned and that is because i went to bed last night with really really bad migraine headache um it was real bad and so i allowed myself the opportunity to sleep in this morning uh i'm gonna be leaving to teach my yoga class in a couple and probably about 20 minutes i did not do my workout this morning but that's okay i'm gonna do a bar class this afternoon uh which i will take you guys along the ride with i'm still on my cycle so i didn't feel so guilty about not exercising this morning because technically i am still on my cycle but basically i'm going to go teach my yoga class and then i have a video to do with emmy today around noon and then after that i will be doing a bar class and hopefully by then all remnants of my headache and migraine will be gone all right you guys so you're gonna come along with me to teach my class a suburb it's now it's oh before i get into it this hospital i'm facing right now he was born here at this hospital so marietta at one point was not a suburb of atlanta at one point marietta was its own southern town outside of atlanta but because atlanta has grown so big marietta is now considered the suburbs literally most people who are from marietta when they are traveling outside of the state of georgia when somebody asks them where they're from they will typically just say atlanta because marietta is a suburb of the city it takes me so um for me i live in midtown right in the middle of the city of atlanta on sunday morning without traffic it usually takes me like 20 minutes to get here so that's how quickly it takes me to get here using the freeway now during the weekday if i were to make this drive it would probably take about an hour um because of traffic but marietta was a very very old southern town and these houses that we're going to drive past here are very very old southern houses and they are gorgeous southern houses are so beautiful these old i grew up around old old old southern homes um very old publican area all rich people are democrats there's a difference homes here that had big sacred garden is right there it's in this neighborhood bunch of houses uh these houses around here get real decked out for the holidays that's sacred garden um that's a cool little coffee shop right there and i'm just gonna park on the street here all right you guys so for those who've never seen my videos from sacred garden this is the front room i just got in here just setting up um my class i checked just checked my schedule uh i've got a packed class weekend i love my sunday morning classes they get real busy and i love it um i'm not going to show you the schedule though because people's names are on it and i don't want to dox anyone because that's not cool doxing is also a federal offense as well so don't dox people this is the practice room um i don't have my shoes are still on so i'm not going to go in here but i did turn the lights on and i've got the heater going um just to make sure the room is nice and warm for the class to begin tomorrow is a moon day or tonight is the new moon and it's uh a why usually well listen both full moon and new moon are potent they both are but potent and potent in different ways full moon in my opinion is the more dangerous of the two moons as far as doing a spiritual practice over the full moon just because of the pool of the moon uh with the water and water in our system and so typically what we do in a traditional yoga practice is traditionally we do not practice on both full and new moon um and again i take that more serious with the full moon the new moon but the new moon that's happening tonight is going to be in my opinion it's not as dangerous as the full moon because there is no you know the the um new moon the moon is completely blacked out and so but this one there is a crazy solar flare that's happening as well and it's uh emi and i're actually going to film about it later today and that video will probably have aired before this video airs but so you guys probably already are aware of what i'm talking about there's a crazy solar flare that's happening i don't know all the details about and we've had a lot of crazy solar flares but this one is going to last longer than most of the solar flares that we've had thus far so i'm thinking today with my class what i'm going to do is i'm going to start us off with the um traditional ashtango with the sun citations the fundamental sequence and all that kind of stuff and then i'm probably going to move the class into some really deep hip openers um you know it's it's rough when we have this um these times in our astrological cycles where things are really chaotic you know like mercury retrograde some of these solar flares they can be really really hard and really really rough however they're necessary they're necessary deconstruction is always necessary you cannot you cannot build a new pattern or a new you on a faulty foundation right and so that's why that's why when you go through spirituality like so many people think when they start a spiritual practice that it's going to be just like rainbows and butterflies and it's just going to be awesome and wonderful and that's not the case because you have to deconstruct first you have to pull down your old systems of belief your old patterning your old um illusions or maya as the yoga sutras say in order to then establish new patterns of belief new understandings and the deconstruction just deconstruction period can be really hard on the student it can be really hard on the human being to have to go through that and so that's why a lot of times we call the dark night of the soul you start to question your own reality all that kind of stuff and so deconstruction is necessary it's rough but it's necessary but also knowledge is power so if you know it's coming if you know that there's going to be some some turbulence ahead you know you can put your seatbelt on and you can um just you can just reflect on it instead of react to it and just understand that it's necessary and when those feelings come up the uncomfortable feelings the tears all that stuff all that stuff starts to come up let it happen but don't project it on to other people in journal and work through it because it's necessary deconstruction is always necessary in order for there to be actual new construction all right you guys it is 11 to 12 a.m i am just now leaving sacred garden my class ended technically at 10 i feel so bad halfway through the class our internet cut out so um some of the students who are on zoom missed the back half the class we're gonna fix that it's no big deal these things happen right but anyway my class ended at around 10 i'm not i'm just now leaving because i was chit chatting with some of my students after class a lot of times we'll sit and have like um philosophy talks uh after class so that's what i'm doing now we got an ambulance coming up here um whenever amb an ambulance would come as children my mother would always stop and say a prayer for whoever that ambulance is going to but anyway over there past all those trees is the marietta square which uh is a fun little area of marietta it's old historic downtown marietta so i'm heading home now i'm actually going to stop by the gas station on the way home and i am craving i am freaking craving pop tarts right now and a diet coke and i know if you leave a comment about how bad pop tarts and diet coke are for you in the comment section below i will delete the comment i know they're bad for you okay i know that but i'm craving it right now i'm on my period and um and yeah so it just is what it is but after i get the pop dart and the diet coke i'm gonna head back home and start getting ready i'm gonna be filming with emmy around two o'clock we were gonna do noon but i think we're gonna push it back to two for um for the astrology that's coming up with the solar flare that's coming up and then hopefully i'll have a chance to do a bar class after that give me a toy which toy are you gonna oh i see oh you brought your acorn you brought your acorn but did you have a good morning by himself while mama was teaching did you have a good morning while mama was teaching he's a big

and then you guys will join me hopefully if i can make it join me with in a bar class all right so it's almost four o'clock i just got off of my filming with emi for monday's video and um i had a little come to jesus moment come to yasha one moment and i talked about this in the video with emi you know we talk about shadow work and that's why i'm doing this is because we had a subscriber ask for me to blog about how i squeeze in all of my shadow work and all my exercising and my journaling and i've spoken about this on the channel before you know when ladies on her period for the first two to three days she should be resting because her body's detoxing and last night i had a migraine headache today's my third day on my cycle and i and i so i let myself sleep in a little bit so my migraine i was like i'll just do a bar class after i film with emi and i realized that that's my shadow work i put so much pressure on myself and sometimes i have the propensity to over exercise to do too much and i realized in this moment all day i've been trying to pressure myself and pressure myself when i am on my cycle this is the third day of my cycle i should be resting so here you go guys this is where i struggle and so i decided that for today as i did yesterday it's going to be another day of rest for me and i will start back again tomorrow morning back with my regularly planned exercise because it'll be day four and so therefore i'll be able to get back to um to regular because my uterus will not be contracting anymore and so right now what i'm doing is i'm waiting for emi's episode to download so i can prep it for tomorrow and i'm going to make myself some noodles um so i've i've done pretty good today on my calories the last few days i've been very under the my calories but today i'm going to end up around 2 000 calories so that's really really good i am going to try to go to bed again early tonight to get some rest and then tomorrow morning i'll be back up at four o'clock starting my day i was just talking to my good friend Catherine Edwards and um just something i want to address for this video once again the darkness cannot create anything only the light can only thing the darkness can do is steal from the light and invert with that being said evil eyes as an evil eye necklaces are not the illuminati eye the eye of horus and the eye of horus itself isn't that either but they don't even look like the eye of horus the evil eye is used by countless cultures in the far east like this really pisses me off and it shows so much ignorance when somebody calls the evil eye the illuminati you have literally offended if you're that person half of the human population you need to do your research everyone needs to do their research before they start this is no there's no fucking witch trials going on this is what scares me so much about this community some people in this quote unquote truth or community have more hate in their hearts than the controllers do they're out for blood they want to destroy everything they want to destroy all these cultures that they just simply don't understand it's disgusting when i started the mysore foundation and i was trying to raise money to work with children in the slums to get them into safe houses do you know what some christians told me that they wouldn't give me money because little hindu children are going to go to hell anyway that's fucking disgusting and to hear somebody call out an evil eye that's not the illuminati they're two different things an evil eye is used all over the east as part of their culture and wards off evil spells that's what it does it wards off evil it's a protection do better be better better stop being so fucking ignorant because that is what puts us in the hangman's noose you want to go into bloodshed continue the vigilante attitude and we're gonna see hell like we've never seen hell you want to go into the light then start researching and start realizing that darkness can't create anything only the light can stop it guys i will start blocking people who start putting this shit up on my channel because it's not gonna fly with me this whole not researching and just going around blaming people is it's not gonna fly with me you're gonna have to do better all right you guys i just got out of a hot bath it's about eight o'clock i'm still waiting for my video from emmy earlier today to finish processing so i can load it up for tomorrow um after i loaded the video i had an awesome conversation telephone conversation with kelly from nexium i'm telling saying kelly from nexium because she's so much more than than that but awesome conversation with her i've been chatting with tomara as well and um and yeah guys going forward let's just be really really mindful about what we're saying on the internet um that really upset me the evil eye comments an evil eye is not the same thing as the illuminati eye an evil eye is done in so many different cultures it's to ward off spells black magic and i i just want all of my friends out there that are from the east that are from eastern cultures that use the evil eye to know that you are loved and you are supported and um i'm so sorry that there are people out there that have that much hatred in their heart that they would label something from your culture as being so evil when it's not and let's just do better guys like let's really do better and sometimes i worry because it's like all of there's so many truth truthers in this community out there that are more violent than the controllers are and that's what scares me you can't as captain edwardson says you can't fix the problem the controllers created as the same means as the controller you can't meet violence with more violence and the darkness can't create anything anyway only the light can create so everything even the eye of horus that's the illuminati eye was originally for good and if we got rid of everything that the cabal inverted we would have nothing left our side of this battle is about our side of this battle is about love and healing our god is the god of life and is the god of healing the god of the other side is the god of destruction and war and blood and violence so if you're someone that's out there to destroy then maybe you aren't on our side maybe you're on the other side so it's just something to think about what god do you serve do you serve the god of destruction or do you serve the god of healing choice is yours but anyway guys thank you for spending the weekend with me tomorrow morning i will be right back on my mat with all of you guys thank you for giving me a moment to honor my own shadow side as i work through my period and feeling the need to exercise when i really be exercising anyway let me know how you guys are doing how is the challenge coming for you guys what have you learned about yourself all that stuff once again thank you so much have a wonderful evening and i'll talk to you soon


So I guess this officially ends any possibility of Mark Ingram reuniting with the Baltimore Ravens because not only did they activate Melvin Gordon to the active roster, but in a surprising move, the Baltimore Ravens, they added another running back to the practice squad, that being the legend from Maryland, Mr. Jake Funk. And with Jake Funk, he was born in Gaithersburg. He went to Damascus from Damascus and then he even went to the University of Maryland. So he got Maryland written all over him. Now he did get drafted by the Rams and played a little bit with the Coastal. We'll forgive him for that. But now he is a Baltimore Raven. And this move, in my opinion, this not only speaks for the present because San Francisco 49ers, they have a rarity at the running back position just like Jake Funk is a rarity at the running back position. I ain't gonna say what it is, but anyway, he is now a Baltimore Raven. And this is a move for both the present and in my opinion, the future as well. Now we're going to get into exactly what I mean when I say that. But before we do, make sure you subscribe to the YouTube channel, turn your notifications on and leave a like on the video because it helps out the channel a ton. And also, before we get into this, let's hear a quick word from our sponsor. We made it to December. And although this marks the end of the year, that doesn't mean the goal stop. So do yourself a favor and get factor so you can enjoy the meals without the hassle. Simply just choose your meals and enjoy fresh, flavor packed meals delivered right to your door, ready in just two minutes with no prep and no mess. And don't think factors just for dinner.

You can choose from quick breakfast items, lunch to go, grab and go snacks and ready to drink cold pressed juices, shakes and smoothies just like these. Things toward the end of the year tend to pick up and get a lot busier. So why not do yourself a favor and cut down on trips to the grocery store? Which results in less cooking. Oh, there's more time for you to watch these playoff seed determining football games at this point of the season. And factors flexible too. You can easily adjust the size of your order. You can enjoy it with loved ones. Or if you have a special event coming up, you can even skip it. We can get right back to it later. Factor makes it easy for you. And I know you're probably thinking, this sounds too easy to be true. How easy are these factor meals to make? Let me show you. That's it. That's all it took.

Again, just head to factor75.com or click the link below and use code engraving50 to get 50% off your first factor box. So team keep it clean. What does Jake Funk bring to these Baltimore ravers?  We are so back.  So he got some speed now. Now I wouldn't call it Keaton Mitchell speed, but he certainly got some speed of his own. One thing that I do like about Jake Funk. Now, keep in mind, he is on a practice squad. He's not on the active roster, but what the Baltimore Ravens could do, they could sort of use him as their own. Now he's not Christian McCaffrey. He's not CMAC. I ain't saying that. And I don't want to say that because I feel like that will be very lazy because he's not on that level, not saying he can't get there one day with enough opportunity, but he is not Christian McCaffrey. So don't think that we are not saying that at all. But what the Baltimore Ravens could possibly do, especially this week, I mean, they're gonna be going up against CMAC in a couple of days. They could use Jake Funk as the on the scout team for Christian McCaffrey because Jake Funk can do some different things. Again, not saying that he's on the level of a Christian McCaffrey, but he can catch some passes out of the backfield and he got a good amount of speed at the running back position. Now, one thing I do like about Jake Funk with his running style. He, in my opinion, he has a no-nonsense style of running because today I was watching this stuff from Maryland, saw a little bit of his stuff from the Rams and a little tiny bit from the Colts as well. Jake Funk is not a running back that's gonna be out in the backfield, dancing around. He ain't one of them running backs that's trying to shake somebody, that's trying to make somebody miss like that. He'll make a little quick cuts and whatnot, but it ain't gonna be nothing too crazy. He is a, look, I'm running North and South.  I'm just trying to get these yards. I'm trying to get this first down and trying to get these touchdowns. That's it, straight up. So with the Baltimore Ravens, I feel like after a couple of weeks he could be somebody, in my opinion, that I could see them giving an opportunity to. Now, we know that we got the playoffs like literally around the corner. We only got three games left. So I could see him getting some action in the last game of the regular season against the Steelers, but also him sort of being a secret weapon for the Baltimore Ravens come playoff time. Reason I say that, and I ain't trying to overhype no practice squad running back or anything like that, but I would think these Baltimore Ravens, they know something about talent at the running back position. And they really know. Sometimes we question when they give some people more usage or less usage than others and whatnot, but bottom line, the Baltimore Ravens do know how to get the most out of a running back. So I could see your thinkers, because who would have thought that an undrafted rookie free agent like Keaton Mitchell, like we saw, who would have thought that an undrafted rookie free, that we all be super upset about an undrafted rookie free agent running back missing the rest of the season for the Baltimore Ravens? Who would have thought that? At the beginning of the year, we wouldn't have thought that at all because we would have been like, oh, undrafted rookie free agent running back. Oh, okay. Well, if he makes a team, we'll see, but he probably on a special team or something like that. But no, Keaton Mitchell had a huge impact on these Baltimore Ravens in such a short amount of time. So with Jake Funk, if he gets some opportunity, I think that he could do some stuff, do some damage for the Baltimore Ravens. But I think, again, I think later on in the season, they may call him up for a game here and there, give him some little carries here and there, let him get his feet wet because he's only had, I wanna say like four carries in regular season action. There were two for the Rams. And then I think maybe he had two for the Cop, but he just, he hasn't had much, any opportunity at all on the NFL level yet. So while like with Keaton Mitchell, he ain't having no opportunity in the NFL level. All his opportunity before this year, well, this year, it was in pre-season. That's where Jake Funk has got most of his opportunity. It's just been in pre-season games. It has not been a regular season game, but we saw what happened with Keaton Mitchell. All he needed was a chance. So with Jake Funk. And again, all the pressure, it's not like all the pressure would be on him anyway, because you still got a justice here. You still got a Gus Edwards. You still got a Melvin Gordon too, but Jake Funk could come in here and do some damage. Now, another thing with him too, I feel like this is a move for the now, but also for the future with Keaton Mitchell, speaking of Keaton Mitchell, I feel like with Keaton Mitchell, he had sort of the J.K. Dobbins treatment. What I mean when I say that with J.K. Dobbins, I felt like, and I think we all knew that, the Ravens were trying to give him the keys. They were like, J.K. Dobbins here, the team is yours. You'll be our main runner back here. It's all yours. And when you think about this offense, the way that the Ravens do things in this offense, J.K. Dobbins would have been perfect for it, but he kept getting hurt. So I felt like the Ravens were like, all right, we got to take these keys back. We can't give them to you. With Keaton Mitchell, and I said this throughout this year, I felt like that next year that he would have been the Ravens guy. He would have been the Ravens starting running back and then they would have figured out everything else behind him, but he would have been their main focus at the running back position. While that is still possible, I just feel like the Ravens, they won't put all their eggs into the Keaton Mitchell basket only because of this injury. He doesn't have an injury history. He's not injury prone, but this injury with it possibly, especially because the timing of it is so bad. It came right at the end of this season. It could possibly maybe linger into next year, but I don't think the Ravens are gonna be like, this running back coming off of a ACL tear. He's gonna be our number one guy. I just don't see them doing that. I think he'll still get plenty of opportunities, especially because Ravens have him for like the next three, four years. He's on a very, very cheap, cheap, cheap contract. And we know that he can give big, big production. But with Jake Funk, I think that this could be, for them signing him now, this could sort of be an audition for him for next year. Not saying that he would be the start. I'm not saying that, but he could be auditioning for a role on the Baltimore Ravens team next year, because we've seen this happen time and time again. Ravens will make these late season additions, the late season signings.  And then that person ends up being on the team next year. And then the following year too, like with Kevon Seymour, I know he was definitely one. Ravens signed Kevon Seymour. And I was like, who's Kevon Seymour? And then he ended up just sticking with the team for the past couple of years. So you never know that this may seem like a small signing. It is a small signing, but it could be one of those things where you possibly get some significant production out of it. And I'm saying he gonna pop off for a thousand yards, not even 500 yards, but you just never know what could happen. And remember last time, the Baltimore Ravens, they had brought somebody on who was from Maryland, played at Maryland, then they got to play for the Ravens. That person ended up, went in the Super Bowl. So, and it was in the second year, you know? This will be Jake Funk's first year with the Ravens, but let's scratch all that. Hopefully the same results end up going down.


In this presentation, we will take a look at Social Security and Social Security calculations. So here we're considering what will be the calculations for Social Security. Now remember that some of these numbers, we're going to give the numbers on in terms of what the Social Security is at the point in time. But note that the percentages are not as important right now for our purposes. What we want to know is what's the structure of this tax, how is it set up, and then we can look up the percentages at any given time. Now Social Security percent shouldn't change all that often, but they could be they could be subject to change. But once we learn the type of tax, we can apply that anywhere. The reason Social Security will not change as much is that it does take an act of new law to change the Social Security. Whereas when we think about the tax tables for the federal income tax, those are typically going to be updated often with the cost of living type of updates. So those could be could be adjusted more often than something like a Social Security tax rate. Remember that when we think of Social Security, we can think of it as a component of the FICA taxes, which is the Federal Insurance Contribution Act, which has basically two components which can be brought out or termed Social Security and Medicare. The Social Security component, the component we're looking at now, can also be called the old age survivors and disability insurance. So note, if you see the terminology, it'll also be shorthand for because it's often shorter to write OASDI in a worksheet. So it's important to know some of these kind of shorthands to write things and how things are going to be expressed so we know what we're talking about when we see both the worksheet and talk about things. So when we say FICA is usually shorthand for Federal Insurance Contribution Act, that really has two components, and usually when people are speaking about it, they're going to be speaking about it in terms of the two components of Social Security and Medicare. Those are going to be the easiest way to say things verbally. When we put something into a worksheet, however, the easiest thing to say in terms of the Social Security component, because Social Security is easier to say than OASDI, which is a hard acronym to remember, or to say the old age survivors and disability insurance act, which is not a difficulty thing to say. So we typically say Social Security. When we put it into a worksheet though, the Social Security isn't the shortest way we can say it. We can use the acronym of OASDI. So oftentimes you're going to see it in this format when we put it into our worksheet. So just note it's going to be the Social Security component of the FICA taxes. So we've got the breakout when we look at this calculation, and the most confusing thing about Social Security is that we have an employer and an employee portion, and they're the same rates. And that really is a bit confusing when we do the calculations to most people. It's not that difficult. It's just confusing to look at that because we start to confuse the two rates together. So in other words, the employer is responsible to pay 6.2% of the employee wages, and the employee is responsible to pay 6.2% of their wages. Now there is a cap to, and that's going to be currently at $127,200. This could change over times with cost of living and inflation type of adjustments. So we just need to know what the theory is on the cap so that we make sure we can look that up and apply the proper cap. So first let's talk about these two components here. The law is basically said, you can think of it kind of like a 401k type of contribution plan, although the withholding is different than a retirement plan in the way things are withheld. But with the withholding of the payments, the employer, you can think of it kind of like a matching. The employee is required to put in 6.2% into social security. And again, it's not being held by the government like a 401k plan. It's a different type of setup in terms of the payout and how that works and how the funds are held. But in terms of paying into it, they're required to pay 6.2%. And then the employer is required to in essence kind of match that pay 6.2% from the employer funds as well. So when we consider the calculation then, this portion, the 6.2 for the employee, is coming out of the gross pay. So when we think of the payroll tax calculation or the net pay calculation for an employee, how much are they going to get from a paycheck? We're going to take their gross pay minus 6.2% or 0.062, if we convert this to a decimal, out of their paycheck to as one of the components to arrive at net pay. So from an employer perspective then, this isn't really a payroll tax to the employer. It's just us breaking out the employee's payment between one person they owe, meaning we're going to give the employee the net check. We're going to take this part out of their check and pay it to people they owe, which is in essence the government. So this is a payroll tax to the employee, but it's not really a payroll tax to the employer as is this part. This part, the 6.2 for the employer is in essence a payroll tax. The calculation will be the same, meaning it's not based on the employer's income, it's based on the employee's income, and the employer has to pay 6.2% or 0.062 of their income to the government. The reason this is more of an employer tax is because we're not going to include this as a deduction from the employee's wages to get to the net income. This is going to be coming out of the employer's checking account. It's not something that we're going to say, hey, this is your wages and we took out your taxes paid by your wages and paid it out for you. It's a tax that's over and above what we're paying in terms of wages that we have to pay or the employer has to pay. So because they're the same, they often get confused as if they're the same thing. Notice if the true tax that's going to be paid is 12.4% here is what's really being paid. So then we have the cap here, and this is another area that can cause confusion and can cause debate as to what the cap should do. This cap generally goes up over time, and the reason it's there, like basically what happens is if you get above this cap, then you stop paying the taxes on it, which seems counterintuitive to most people. So basically if I pay 6.2%, the employer pays 6.2% up to the cap, in this case, at this time 127,200. I think it's actually 128,400 in 2000. I think these are 2017, but in any case, the cap, the amount doesn't matter as much as, again, as long as we know the concept, we'll look up the whatever the current cap is, and the cap does go up over time, whereas these percentages will typically be more constant over time. So you'd pay the 6.2 up to that cap, and then you don't pay anymore, which seems counterintuitive because you would think normally, federal income taxes, you pay more taxes as you get more income, meaning you would think they would pay, if you made more income, you'd pay over 6.2%. That's what a progressive system would do. So there's a couple reasons for that here, and one is that this system is the type of system where we're paying into a system that's going to give back benefits at retirement age. In other words, the more we pay in, the more we earn, 6.2% of whatever we earn goes up, means we're going to pay more taxes, the more we earn up to this cap, and so we're paying more and more whatever we earn. The benefits that we get at retirement will coincide to that in some way, meaning the people that put more money into the system typically are going to get more benefits back. Now the way the benefits work is it kind of inverse, meaning the way that calculation is the first few dollars that are put in, you get a bigger benefit, you get more money back, and then for each new contribution up to the 127, you still get some benefit. You'll get a bigger social security check back because you put more in throughout the life of the program, but it'll be incrementally smaller. And then once you get up to like 127, this is just a very limited recap of these calculations as to the reason why a cap might be there. Once you get up to a certain point, let's say it's 127, 200 of income, putting more money in isn't giving you any more benefit at the retirement to get the benefits back at all, and that's the point where we say where the cap, that's one area or one factor into coming up with the cap component. Where should the cap be? How high should the cap be? Well, once there's no benefit in terms of receiving benefits at retirement is one factor to determine how high the cap is. Now obviously there's a lot of debate on the cap because if the Social Security Fund is not funded one way, or is in trouble in some way, one way to collect more funds is to increase the cap and then that would put a higher tax on wealthier individuals to put more money into the Social Security. So anyways, the cap is something that can cause confusion, but in essence it's a flat tax, really easy to calculate unless you hit the cap and then you got to know when you hit the cap. It's not hard to calculate the cap when you're talking about gross wages, like if someone made 200,000 then obviously they'd only pay taxes on 127,200, but the thing that's difficult with Social Security is that we have to know when they hit that cap because we're paying people weekly, bi-weekly, monthly and they're gonna, if they hit that cap in the middle of October, then if we don't recognize the fact that we paid someone, you know let's say $10,000 for this pay period in October and we didn't recognize the fact that they went over the cap then we're gonna end up paying more Social Security than they owe because we're gonna pay more than the cap of 127,200 and if that happens that it's a problem with Social Security in a way that it's not as much a problem with federal income tax because Social Security is not gonna be refunded after we do the 1040 at the end of the year. Any over withholding on the 1040 will be paid back after the 1040 calculation for federal income taxes. With Social Security it's a problem because that's typically not gonna be the case and we will typically have to amend that problem so if we find that out at the end of the year when we do our reconciliation process and we say oh man we took out more than the cap amount for this high income individual because we didn't realize they hit the cap then um you gotta make an adjustment for that typically.


Welcome to vlogmas day 21. We are just about to leave to go somewhere and there is a bird on my mom's vehicle What is going on?  You just cracked. Really? Yeah, I just saw him. Oh, bye. Bye.

So anyway Okay, so anyway, we got some santa pictures of my nephew Jackson and Santa Claus and this is a magnet which is really cute So I'm going to take this home and put it on the refrigerator And then this is actually for my grandma So I will give this to her when I get back as well Super cute and then in the little thing This is the card that my mom made. She makes cards every year, which is exciting And this is like really cute. It's like raised up. It's like a little sweater Which is cute and then we've got some Jackson pictures And then this is him this past summer in a little baseball outfit, which was really cute Super cute. He's just so much bigger now like I know even from there. He looks like a little baby. I know He's becoming such a big man Oh, it's so scary. It's growing up too fast. Anyway, and here's my holiday Picked my holiday letter Which coordinates with this and they always have to coordinate with yes So the theme this year was ugly Christmas sweater So let me show you some of the past ones. Oh gosh. Here we go Here we've got a pine tree And this was the first year that we were in florida. So it was a seashell and Florida And this was our last year in minnesota. So of course we had snow snow snow everywhere And you can see each year it coordinates the card and The paper it's a banner And believe it or not That wasn't interesting. That was an interesting year. That was an interesting fun fact.  Yeah fun fact you guys you're learning way too much about me And this and this trilogy goes back to That was in 1983 Yeah, 1983 is when my mom in 1983 is when we started it So here's baby emily and mom Pregnant with my brother with the brother in there. My brother is right in there and that's me. Yeah Yep So each year I put the things in here. So This is a family history And the two children will have to fight over this when i'm dead and gone. So oh man Yeah, yeah, oh man one more thing to fight over. You can see how it coordinates every year I had a theme every year. Every year kind of I don't know about the tiger so But it was I enjoy doing this. I make cards. I love making cards. She's into it It's it's a great way to keep a family history Great way to keep a family history If you ever want a recommendation on that This is so anyone that has more than one child Maybe they should do two at the same time or however many children they plan on having, huh? Yes, that's probably you didn't really foreshadow that too much. No, it's okay though That is that is true. That's okay, but this is the family It was always it was difficult family christmas book and you can actually find this online Because emily phoned it for me. Okay, so if I can find it. I'll list it below for you guys It's kind of a cool little book. I think I ended up finding them on amazon But it's by Nancy sims taylor and illustrated by caron benia smith So if I can find this I'll put a link below for you guys, but it's a cool little Thing but basically it's just an empty page for each year and I believe it's about 25 Yeah, it wasn't like crazy 25 years.  It was like 25 30 dollars maybe at the most so I don't I'll link it below for you guys if I can find it But anyway fun facts But anyway, I am gonna keep working as the squash is baking because we have about an hour time frame at least Um, so that stuff gets like soft enough so we can like make a paste So yeah, but I will show you the progress and this pizza is either gonna be really good Or it's gonna really suck and then we're just gonna order pizza. How do I even start this story? Okay, so here's a new story. So a couple of years back my parents neighbors Over there made a glorious rum cake and my mom asked for the recipe And so they gave it to her and this whole trip we've been trying to find this said recipe for the rum cake And I could not find it. So I went on a Pinterest And found a rum cake recipe So I was like, okay, great and when we went to grocery shopping the other day We actually got all the ingredients and all that good stuff. Well, they just stopped by with their two cute little kids and Look what they gave us And it's delicious by the way and it's made with Puerto Rican rum So good Beats so good and my neighbor made it. He made it It's his recipe and he's gonna and text her the recipe And it's the best so if you're in our family, you probably will get some of this on the 24th Yep, maybe or the 25th Or the 20th So I think we might still attempt to make this cake Or if he texts my mom before this is better But just because we have all the ingredients But if he texts us this recipe, we might just have two because you know, why not look look at this. It's so good It's like Super It's hard to see but like it's like so It smells so good So good The aroma smell of vision. You can you smell it? Can you smell a vision? Can you smell a vision? If the squash if the squash pizza doesn't work out well tonight, we might be breaking into this. Yeah in ordering pizza Okay, well, I had to share that story because it's just so random and weird, but anyway I'm sure we'll be baking in another day in another vlog But we'll we'll give you updates as to the to the rum thing.  I think it's either gonna be really good or it's gonna be really gross So to be determined. So The pizza Not my favorite.  I also like squash But I don't really like it like this. I think that the ham Is overwhelming in this And I think if we maybe we should have gone ham burger Little piece of ham But you said ham. Yeah, I know I'm good I'm saying I think ham would mix is better than hamburger food But Some things just aren't meant to be together. We're going under your directions. Yeah, I get it So let me preface this with my dad gave my mom and I instructions to the store Got all the things that he said to get which we did With very very minimal instruction put it together And it's not what he wanted, but yet he keeps complaining about it, but then he keeps eating it So I don't know what's going on there. This is my piece of rum cake This is how much I ate of my pizza because it wasn't good But anyway, I'm gonna devour this now This is nice But that's what you have. That's what happens Be careful. Mm. It's extra rummy Oh Feels good. Yeah, I see You guys I'm going in the buy-off room, but not to do that. Okay But I'm gonna close out the vlog here. I am gonna get ready for bed But I'm actually brought some face masks stuff with me.  It's the Basha Luminizing black mask if I can find it. I'll link it down below either on amazon or Sephora or whatever I think I got this on Amazon. Oh, no, Sephora Um, so I am gonna do that and a little bit But I'm gonna wind down for the night and just put some PJs on and chill out. It's I want to say like 10 o'clock We tend to stay up kind of late here. So Anyway, the night is still kind of young. So anyway, um, I'll be probably going to bed about midnight But anyway, I am gonna let you guys go for now. Thank you so much for hanging out with me on the vlog today That is a wrap on day 21 and I will see you tomorrow Bye guys
