Did You Human Today?

What do you do when it looks like you have everything on the outside but feel nothing on the inside?Six years ago I found myself in a CVS parking lot at ten o’clock at night, a burning sensation in my chest, desperately needing to fall apart — and not being able to shed a single tear.That night I realized something. The woman sitting in that car was a machine. Programmed for greatness. Built for excellence. Trained to perform in every room except her own.That was the night Did You Human Today was born.But I wasn’t ready then. I was dipping my toe into healing. I was dipping my toe into using my voice. I told a couple of stories and stopped because the woman in that parking lot didn’t have the courage yet to tell the stories I’m ready to tell now.What changed?Life didn’t give me a choice.My mother dying in my arms. My baby sister gone less than a year later. Marinda three months after that. Businesses I let go. A version of myself I had to release. Back to back to back until surviving was no longer enough and I realized I was born to thrive.This is Installation 0. The beginning of the reprogramming. In real time. Out loud. For me — and if you choose, for you too.Did You Human Today is the reprogramming, told in pieces, as it happens. New installations drop regularly.
