this is feeling like a beautiful rainy day..
not sure why i'm in such a good mood, but i haven't felt like this in a minute.. yesterday was so long and draining that i wasn't sure what i was going to feel like today.. it's not that yesterday was bad, because from a FAM standpoint, it was good.. it was just so much going on.. meetings, phone calls, even longer phone calls.. dinner meeting.. it was wild..
but the main focus from yesterday's agenda was Temeka's weekend.. i was on the phone w/ people from Baton Rouge and New Orleans all day, pulling out the stops.. i even talked to Momma Meek a few times.. shoot, and 1 of her sisters.. it wasn't a game.. we have one event that i'm truly putting my all into.. it HAS to be a success.. i know it will be.. my team put in work.. but BIG shoutout to @Esynaj - @MsVelvetFist & @ThreePeasArt - 3 amazing women that are truly bringing this together.. i've said it many times.. women get it.. i typically view my job as the heavy hitter stuff.. so, when they get it to where it needs to be, i come in and just make the calls or contacts to the people to get answers in minutes.. not that it always happens in minutes, but yesterday, i had the hot hand.. everyone i called gave me the answers and support that i needed.. it was a blessing.. and it was all for my FAM..
today is more of the same.. finalizing the details, but also some bigger things w/ some WNBA legends.. i think people thought i was playing.. they thought wrong.. with a clear head, i'm usually on point.. w/ these legends, and what they are allowing me to do? man, watch out.. talk about a game changer.. but for me, the biggest thing is the younger players learning from them.. the game doesn't last forever, and now is the time to truly set up next steps.. when the game ends, another opportunity begins.. that's what i want my FAM to understand and take advantage of.. the legends told me, "Q, if they want something, the only way they can get it is if they ball better than everyone else".. that hit me, and it resonated.. we can do all of this stuff w/ and for the league, but at the end of the day, the league is only going to support those that force their hand.. and in this case, forcing their hand means playing better than the rest of the players in the league.. for Syl, that's a given.. for Meek, she's close.. for Ketia, that's what she should strive for..
it's the FAM - let's go!
i - Q..
