For as long as I can remember, I have been an early bird. As a Muslim, I do my first prayer before sunrise. As the seasons change, the time of sunrise changes as well. But for as long as I can remember, I get up at 4:30 AM. When I was at home, it was […]

Today so far has been a success. A bit extra sleep this morning. A good day off yesterday. I feel rested and ready to tackle a new week. Since arising I’ve yogaed, had a great meditation, and am journaling, visited with GMA/GPA and my religious efforts were super inspiring. I really feel positive moving forward […]

Admitting to myself that I caused a lot of pain and damage has been something that I know I needed to do in order to heal. In order to get past all the pain I carried for so many years. It is a good feeling to know that I can forgive myself, now I want […]

In what way can you find coaching strategies from the books you read? I try to find examples in the books that I read which I can relate to. Coming to prison I did have a difficult time to adjust to how things work. I just found the books by Michael Santos and I can […]

Something that doesn’t make since to me and never will is why the federal government goes through so much trouble to set restrictions on aspirations of legal enterprises that individuals try to create or run while incarcerated and upon release. Whatever it may be from stocks, real estate, business licensing, or schooling they try to […]

Yesterday, October 18, 2024, I translated for both Mr. Campos and Mr. Rivero. Our case manager Mr. Kost, gave them both good news. One might be released to halfway-house before the end of this year, and the other may be heading to a prison camp. Even though it will be heartbreaking to not have them […]

A personal mission statement could influence my future by not just showing my values, principles, and beliefs but also show the goals I have and what I plan to do to change things for myself, those still incarcerated, and the next generation from making the same mistakes. It also would help me to have it […]
