“May I be a blessing to others, and others be a blessing to me.”
This is a belief and affirmation that I hold and say every single day in my Rising Ritual. It was planted in me by my paternal grandmother, Evora Scruggs, who would also emphasize, "Tovi, you got to take your rest.”
It would be decades later that I realized that she said “take your rest” because no one's going to give it to you. That's why she used that language.
I Just Wanna Be a Blessing is a nonprofit that centers and focuses on the well-being of educators and other public-sector leaders who serve the underserved. As a sector, we are underserved, and those that we serve are also underserved. Often, R.E.S.T is hard to come by or even “allowed.”
We all have the right to rest. It is not something to be earned. It is my honor and privilege to be able to bring R.E.S.T to those who need it most. I Just Wanna Be A Blessing exists to help make that happen. If you are moved in any way to contribute to ensuring that R.E.S.T is freely given, then I invite you to give the gift of R.E.S.T, so that people can partake freely. Your contribution supports the community programs of The R.E.S.T’d Leader™.
