Peace and blessings, good day and thank you for your support and taking time to read this article. Brother Joel, aka loner is the artist behind the Tee Shirt and Beautiful mural chat and smoke I appreciate you brother for your support. I am so grateful to have believe in myself the god in me when it appear to a lot of people around me that I may have lost my mind. I stopped working and decided to start Chat and Smoke at age 49. I just stopped cure violence work something I had be doing since 2103 and start a new career/business and industry during Covid when everything shut down. I had a lot of people who depended on me financially one way or another, expensive clothes habits, going out to eat, other items and habits how was I going to maintain? I didn’t have peace within myself, family and my daily life. I knew I can do better as a person, son, father, husband and leader. I wanted to find out what would the best version of myself look like and feel like! I felt like I was not winning at home. I am helping others and my home is taking a beating. You can not spend money to get out of it, you can’t go out to eat to fix it, go shopping, move into a beautiful apartment will not do it. I began to change my mindset to operate without using financial services to help people, strengthen integrity, accountability, and being intentionally with accomplishing my goals every day. Control what I can control things happen for me not to me. I can’t fail look how far this Idea has gone. You can accomplished anything in life if you believe in you when no one else does. I have peace in my life, I have peace in my energy field, I have peace all around me. I have a therapists who I see and the results are fabulous for the last 5 months. I am happy to have shown my birthplace Harlem community that I fully Support restoring our community with personal and professional development and mentorship. Each One Teach One! I am an example what a dedicated change mindset can do. The best feeling in the world is to see your dream un fold as you take a step towards your goal every day. You must encourage yourself even when no one else does even people you supported. Don’t be bitter, don’t focus on it. Stay focused with your peace because it’s going to be attacked every day. Don’t fight the attacks with the same energy just move out the way subtly. Rules of engagement #1. I will speak with out being offensive. #2. I will listen without being defensive. #3. I will always leave my opponent with their dignity. A better you and A better me makes a better community!
