"If you can't fly then run. If you can't run then walk. If you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward." - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.โ  *โ  Dr. King, we've made some major strides since your passing, but we've also experienced some significant setbacks. There are some moments that you would be very proud of and others that I think you would be completely appalled by. We're still striving to uphold your legacy and I am committed to continuing the work for your dream to come to fruition. Thank you for laying the foundation. - Your legacy.โ  โ  *โ  (artwork by Derek Russel)โ  #melstrong #ihaveadream #legacy #civilrights #equality #fightforwhatmatters #mlk #martinlutherkingday #MLKDay #hero #championforthepeople #blacklivesmatter #representation #equalrights #equalpay

Today I woke up and felt filled to the brim with gratitude. I want to say thanks to you guys, my followers, my community, my family and friends for your outpouring of support. When I put pen to paper for my book, the only thing I wanted to do was encourage someone not to give up in the midst of a turbulent situation. Just like you rallied behind me when I was going through the darkest of times, you've rallied behind me again and I'm so appreciative. If no one else tells you thank you today. From me to you, THANK YOU! * * #melstrong #grateful #appreciation #thankful #thankyou #friends #family #community #thankyouGod #ButGod #survivor #overcomer #ThroughItALL #author #speaker

First day back to the virtual office after a wonderful holiday break and what do I see? Today is my 5-year workiversary (my new word ๐Ÿ˜‰)! It's crazy how fast time flies. Working as legal counsel for Microsoft has been one of the funnest and coolest jobs I have had so far. I get to work with some of the smartest geeks in the world and as a techie who just happens to be a lawyer, it's my jam. โ  *โ  *โ  #worklife #microsoftlife #microsoft #thegeekslawyer #work #anniversary #surface #surfacebook #virtualworking #corporatecounsel #techlawyer #womenintech #womeninlaw #esquire #blacklawyers #building #growing #learning

I am grateful for this time to recharge. I'm reading The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by @johnmarkcomer and this nugget spoke directly to me - โ "Many of us are just too busy to live emotionally healthy and spiritually rich and vibrant lives. Busyness cuts off our connection to God, to other people, and even to our own soul."โ  This quarantine has shown me that life is not going to get any less busy. I just have to be intentional about slowing down. My soul (and sanity) depends on it.โ  โ  *โ  *โ  #bestill #stillness #meditation #rest #relaxation #restoration #recharge #peace #serenity #relax #calmdown #slowdown #selfcareSunday #read #think #meditate #soulwork #melstrong
