As one chapter ends, a new chapter begins...and immediately finished before you even had a chance. I know I had @yougovamerica on my mind when it came to posting about my thoughts, as a journalist, but apparently, that sadly looks like it's not going to be the case when it comes to #YouGov. But, that's okay. I still have other ideas in terms of who to collaborate with when it comes to speaking my mind without it being overshadowed or ignored again. #TheSterlingStudies #journalism #journalist #chapter #closeddoor #collaboration #collab #collaborationovercompetition #overshadowed #ignored #speaking #speakingmymind #ideas #thoughts #thoughtsbecomethings

This honestly sounds like me right now...not trying to worry about it, but just really tired of people stopping me from what was intended for me... #TheSterlingStudies #truth #truthbetold #honesty #change #changeyourmindset #improve #improveyourself

I have a lot on my mind and have tons of projects to finish before this year is over. So, I'm ready to make things count and get these books...this business and creating it's official website...the business's @youtube and @facebookmarketplace...my personal and general #life after my dad's passing...and even the plans that God has for me...to be #updated...#upgraded...and finished correctly...while being patient...I really need some time to relax my mind for awhile so I don't overstress myself again. #TheSterlingStudies #photojournalism #lakestevens #lakestevenspark #writingcommunity #projects #year #mind #youtube #youtubechannel #facebook #facebookmarketplace #marketplace #website #God #personal #general #relax #patience #patient

While I am working on creating @TheSterlingStudies as an official business [mainly the website, FB marketplace, and creating videos for the YouTube channel], some of you know that I am writing several books at the same time. So, one of the books I am writing is a challenge poetry book that I was asked to do several years ago where I just write a poetry book dedicated to earthing/barefooting. This poetry book is entitled "The Shoeless Stories of Poetry". This poetry book is almost finished so I'm grateful to get at least one book nearly done before this year is over. This poetry book has two versions: 'Version 1' is just the poems and 'Version 2' has the poems and a picture of someone barefooting that correlates. So, this one one of my poems entitled "Do-Over", which is a spoken word poem I wrote for the book. Shout out to my Thai friend @kerrzaar_grand of IG for taking this picture of her friend, with her friend's permission, for my barefoot poetry book. #TheSterlingStudies #business #writing #poetry #poetrybook #writingpoetry #poetrycommunity #earthing #barefooting #shoeless #stories #bookwriting #barefoot #writingcommunity #poem #poems #shoutout #Thai #barefootpoetry #correlate #version #picture #journalism #journalismcommunity

I always have many ideas and thoughts in my head every day to the point I'm sometimes accidentally getting a minor headache. However, with regards to this business, I plan creating an official @youtube channel for @thesterlingstudies and this is just a list what I have in mind of doing for the channel when I am able to create videos. #TheSterlingStudies #ideas #thoughts #headache #business #writing #youtube #channel #youtubechannel #create #videos #official

Cloudy today and partly cloudy on my birthday... election day...this will be interesting... #TheSterlingStudies #cloudy #birthday #ElectionDay #interesting

As a #writer and #journalist, I always get to #write about many different topics making it more easier to show new #content around for people to understand, which I am highly grateful for. So, I am working on new #studyguides, I plan on doing some short #infographics of topics that I will be #writing study guides about in the future. So, this first #infographic set is based on the #book "The Barefoot Book: 50 Great Reasons to Kick Off Your Shoes" by Daniel Howell, #PhD, which was the book that got me more #interested in being #barefoot more often (mostly as a way to #destress myself or even #recover from a writer's block). Surprising enough, this book only has #50 health benefits to being, going, and walking barefoot...and after doing some research, there's way more than 50 different health benefits for something as simple as ditching those "foot prisons". I have already created some barefoot #journalism on my @Wattpad where I interviewed and talked to people who are barefoot often and were willing to share their #experiences, which I plan on turning those interviews into study guides. Some of my #peers that I talk to are either barefoot half of the day, most of the day with some even going 24/7. Besides the barefoot journalism on #Wattpad, I am also creating a barefoot #poetry book as a massive writing challenge. They may not be in the South Florida or Miami Gardens area, but I always do talk with them to see how they are doing along with their #barefooting #adventures since they know their barefooting rights and that #barefootingislegal. Objective: I always want to make sure that all of my content is either creative, entertaining, interesting, questioning, or teaching something new to people can get a better understanding. #TheSterlingStudies @realbarefootislegal #barefootislegal #writing #writingcommunity #journalismcommunity #blackownedbusiness #writingchallenge #writingprompts

I'm now back in Miami Gardens...attended my dad's funeral #Wednesday...someone tapped into my bank account losing $300 #Thursday...and immediately welcomed with rush hour on #Friday...oh boy...these three days have been something else for me... With my #birthday literally #Tuesday, November 3rd - Election Day, I honestly am not sure what to do...maybe just post my @CashApp account for #donations or such to get some things situated for my #business and look for any last #minute things that needs to be done with regards to my #dad, his ashes, and his belongings. #TheSterlingStudies #photojournalism #rushhour

I recently tried, and was given, the #thisorthat @mentos while on the @greyhoundlines and the #massive #irony that I get this one #specifically as a #writer and #journalist who wants to #publish a few #books. I have had #thoughts about this actually. To be #honest, I would like to see my books are both books and e-books. But, if I have to #choose one based on the #mentos...I guess I would go with book since I would like to do book signing #events along with "meet and greets" with #people along with "chat and chews" with them. But, for my smaller works, I was #thinking of doing #laminated study sheets and study guides similar to @barcharts_inc. #TheSterlingStudies #greyhound #westpalmbeach #writing #writingcommunity #journalism #photojournalism #book #ebook #booksigning #meetandgreet #chatandchew #studysheet #studyguide

Goodbye North Port, Port Charlotte, and Punta Gorda...and especially...#goodbye, #dad...I was unable to hear from you when you were at the #rehab and #hospital since the #workers didn't want to pick up the #phone for you to speak to me despite your three #strokes, but I was at least able to see you one last time before they closed the #casket to have you #cremated as it was your #final #request. It still hurts especially for the fact that I'm your only #son and #child...I'm trying hard not to #cry still especially while riding the @greyhoundlines back #home to Miami Gardens, but it's hard not to. I'm almost done with some #book #writing and now just looking for some book #publications and really wanted both my #mom and dad to be there with me in person when they get #published despite they're not #together... When will I be back in the North Port/Port Charlotte/Punta Gorda area...I'm not sure, but I hope it's not for another #funeral like my #reason to come up here.

There he goes...bye, dad. #TheSterlingStudies #portcharlotte #florida #northport #missyoudad #dad #father #photography #photojournalism #inlovingmemory #funeral #nathaniel #saintnathaniel #casket #hearse #bye

Father and son. #TheSterlingStudies #fatherandson #portcharlotte #florida #northport #missyoudad #dad #photography #photojournalism #inlovingmemory #funeral #repast #journalismmatters

My father's funeral starts at 11am today. In loving memory of my dad and being his only son and child, I will be the first to read by saying Isaiah 61:1-3 from the NIV. "In lieu of flowers or other gifts, the family [despite me not knowing this part until just now] requests memorial donations be made to the American Diabetes Association, @amdiabetesassn, at https://diabetes.org. #TheSterlingStudies #isaiah #portcharlotte #northport #florida #oldtestament #funeralhome #missyoudad #dad #father #photography #photojournalism #inlovingmemory #diabetes #americandiabetesassociation #lieu #memorial #donations #memorialdonations

Dad...thank you...and I'm sorry. #TheSterlingStudies #funeralhome #portcharlotte #johnsontaylor #florida #puntagorda #funeralhome #missyoudad #dad #photography #photojournalism #inlovingmemory

I'm on Port Charlotte's Charlotte Harbor heading to the funeral home is where my dad is before his request is fulfilled. I'm wearing one of my dad's favorite hats in honor of him. #TheSterlingStudies #funeral #funeralready #portcharlotte #charlotteharbor #florida #puntagorda #funeralhome #request #fulfilled #missyoudad #dad #photography #photoshoot #photojournalism
