IT’S GOING DOWN FOR REAL!
Endings and beginnings, it can all be so
confusing where one stops and the other one starts. December has traditionally
been a time to evaluate the last eleven
months while January we look forward to
the months to come. Yes I think that’s how
one can keep the lines clear between endings and beginnings, however what they
both have in common is that life on either
end of this chronological spectrum is going down for real when we finish something and when we start it.
Now what I mean by “it’s going down for
real” (a phrase recently re-popularized by
FLO-RIDA’S single with the same name) is
no nonsense reality. How we finish anything is often dependent on the quality
of its start. When you want something to
reach its full potential, then you lay a no BS
foundation. In the words of an old proverb:
“If the foundations be destroyed, what can
the righteous do?”
Translation, if what you build is not built
well, what will you do when it’s shaken
and crumbles? Wow what a standard to
evaluate our relationships by, our business
ventures, how parents raise their kids, the
list goes on and on. Yet what’s consistent
is that “ordinary” just won’t do, if we want
2015 to close for us, with a bang, and 2016
to open with another.
If 2015 has demonstrated any truth, it’s
shown us that in the end, our messes catch
up with us. And while I can agree with
those of you that might say “Scorp, that
perspective is a bit overly simplistic, it is
none the less very true.”
The Middle East was destabilized and Isis
has risen from that. We have taken our
natural resources for granted and now we
have melting polar ice caps and 60 degree

NU VIBEZ & ROLEPLAY GUIDE MAGAZINE

days in December where we use to have
snow. There is no escaping it, to coin another phrase meaning essentially the same
thing as our theme phrase,
“We will reap what we have sown”
Of course reaping what we have sown
was never meant to be just a scary karmic
warning. This law or reciprocity is actually a
motivation to do our best and see our best
come back to us and those we love. Give a
relationship your best and while there are
no guarantees that others will do right, in
the end the best will be given back to you.
Here at Nu Vibez, we believe it’s going
down for real and that only our best an
survive the shaking that comes when
things get real. Each issue we try to give
you great topics, coverage, graphics and
empowerment to be all you can be. This is
our last shot in 2015 to leave with a bang.
You will let us know by coming in 2016 if
we succeeded. Your continued patronage
for years has said we did something right
in the past to get this far and for that we
are greatful. However I think Janet Jackson
kept it real when she said “What have you
done for me lately”.
This year end issue of Nu Vibez is our response to the its going down for real
scenario we have shared in this note. As
touched upon previously how this issue
started for you and how it wraps is what
counts. Happy Holidays.
