![]() ![]() ![]() Lex Kenndy and Aishah Shahidah Simmons editing Lorde-Rollins’ interview Through my detachment process, which took a full 24-hours, I was able to solicit and seek possible solutions to rectify the obstacles that were preventing me from uploading this interview onto vimeo and/or youtube. I was forced to surrender and go with the flow of the waves in the Lordean Ocean. I called on a few from my circle of trust and care while simultaneously relying upon my spiritual practice to help me emotionally detach from feelings of failure, inadequacy and, frankly, embarrassment that the video wasn’t ready. I fought it up until I realized that in order to begin to experience some semblance of peace, I had to step back. As several members of my TFW family can attest, I didn’t readily accept the reality as it was. When this video interview wasn’t ready for publication on Friday, Februbecause of video compression challenges, I was almost in complete despair. That, however, isn’t the same as being perfect. To be clear, I believe we should all strive to do our absolute best in any and everything that we set out to accomplish. I begin with my sister Lisa Factora-Borchers’ quote to remind myself that striving for perfection is actually going in the opposite direction of self care.
