has it been that long?
We, as beings innately infatuated with growth, tend to crane our necks and go up on our tippytoes, straining to look into the future. Worrying about what will come next. Obsessed with everything we want to do, everything we wish to accomplish and acquire, everything we want to become.
We, more often than not, forget to feel the present, enjoy the moment, live for the minute.
We also forget to look at all that we’ve already done.
Tomorrow will make ONE YEAR since I wrote my first Qomplesso post. (Wow, That just hit me. lol.)
So much has happened in my life this past year: loss of loved ones, finding new ones, crazyass neighbors, new jobs, new ventures, like 50 different hairstyles, leaving old spaces to move into new ones (literally and figuratively). Wrote my first short film; took my first steps toward working in Film; tried guacamole and flan (and liked both!); reunited with childhood friends; walked away from drama (in one piece!); traveled to paris;…hold up…
Okay, I’m back. Sorry. Just found bacon on my wrap and had to call the restaurant and go ballistic on the cashier and cook. Where was I? Ah yes, things I’ve done:
Cursed out a few incompetent people.
Started a site, (really just as a place where I could vent; really didn’t think people would actually visit it and regularly at that. lol)
The point is, we get so caught up in the things we haven’t done yet that we sometimes forget to take stock in what we HAVE done. And in turn don’t take much stock in ourselves.
Write a list of everything you’ve accomplished–even the smallest things–that you are proud of and celebrate it! Don’t be afraid to reach for a lot of tiny things if you aren’t finding that much. I won’t tell.
If you read this you are hereby required to share with me at least one thing that you are proud of having accompished since this time last year.
Why? Because it’s my site and I said so (**smile**) Besides, it’s my only ONE-YEAR-ANNIVERSARY wish, to be able to read something about you on my site’s anniversary.
Hell, I’ve been telling you all MY business thus far. I think it’s about time for some reciprocity. *wink*
So get to sharin’!!

Happy AnniQersary and many more!!
Yes I know I suck, but I still remember to drop by, read and comment on your wonderful site.
And one major accomplishment, well actually 2 in 1, that I have achieved since last year is to do a show that involved stage combat knife fighting, and a hip hop dance with some of my own choreography. Holla!!

Happy Anniversary/Birthday Qomplesso. My accomplishment is that I finally started learning how to do a cornrow (for the sake of my daughter). I’ve been talking about it for years and I decided to act on it. I borrowed a head mannequin thing from a friend of mine and actually completed two half decent braids. I have a long way to go but you have to start somewhere.

OK, I started this the day you made the request and should have been the first response . . . But, of course, with 3 children, a dog . . . well, you know my life – anywho – CONGRATULATIONS MY LOVE! So proud of you and yes I’m a Qomplesso junkie also. Your site is fabulous and Thank you for all of your wonderful very Q’essent comments on everything, LOL!
I have learned to depend more on God over the past year through some of the most trying times of my life. I decided to take on the challenge of motherhood for the 3rd time (she’s beautiful) and GOD IS GREAT!; I began continuing my education (yay!) still a work in progress, but a step in the right direction; I began practicing less talk, more prayer.

Congrats! My accomplishment has been letting go of someone who I really, really needed to let go of. It took damn near two years, and it hurt a little, but mostly, it was liberating.
