returning

Travelin' Light

Leaving my bags behind

and takin' the road,

I'm leaving the past behind me,

and traveling back home.

The sky's above my head,

the road's winding wide,

I've given up pretending

that my past can decide.

There's a wind right behind me,

and horizons to discover,

the road is my friend

my shadow, and my brother.

I've got time to be thinking

and time to pass the day,

the answers to living,

are just footsteps away.

Friends are believing

that the fates can decide,

but I'm taking my chances,

that my luck won't decide.

I'm not over the hill,

nor wasting my time,

I'm on a journey to believe in

and I'm doing just fine.

There's no start, no ending

nor an end point in mind,

just the jigsaw of memory,

and what I'm leaving behind.

No signs nor distances,

to lead me astray,

The road leads me forwards,

just passing through each day.

I'm letting go of myself,

to stop feeding the past,

embracing the present

as no future can last.

Taking each moment

each breath, in delight,

the stars still guide me,

and not only at night.

So farewell from the journey

as I'm preparing to go,

the ending is a beginning 

I wanted you to know.

No journeys are lost,

no discoveries can be found,

without first trusting the journey,

knowing your homeward bound.

Feel free to contact me. Be nice to know who my audience is and perhaps you can suggest some further topics or themes for my writing! And do give me feedback!

Welcome back to the Voices of Disruption podcast! I am glad that you’re here. This episode is all about coming back to spaces that we’ve left and asking ourselves: what gets to stay? and what still serves us this season of life? I get real and honest about how the past 10 months have been, including talking about friendship, emotional growth, my relationship with my therapist, and stillness.

TW (trigger warning), there is a mention of depression in this episode. I want to be authentic about what returning to the show means to me and how we can reimagine VOD together. More conversations on mental health are needed and the arts thrive from this place. As I continue to step into being a multimedia artist, disrupting my career path, and prioritizing wellness, owning this power looks like taking inventory for what’s next and what has been. When I first started the podcast, I was told that podfading (or not releasing an episode for more than 90 days) was the worst thing that could happen. Now that it has been almost 10 months, I realize that the breaks are inevitable and there is an art to returning to the things we love and care for. Find out more in the episode!

ABOUT THE SHOW // The VODPOD is all about centering voices and stories of Generation Z authentically, hosted by a routine pasta maker who is almost in her 20s or Deb Olatunji. As voices of disruption, we recognize that vulnerability is a strength, not a weakness, and embrace storytelling in a  way that sparks thought, inspiration, action, and conversation. Every time that you disrupt, you step into a power that allows you to create, uplift, and empower yourself and others. Thank you for listening! I appreciate your presence! All love, Deb <3

LIVE DISRUPTED // The questions to ask yourself after listening to this episode are now available on the podcast page! Check out @voicesofdisruption on Instagram and follow us for more disruption. We love hearing from you! Write a review because words of affirmation are my number one love language and I want know your thoughts <3

In this episode of Doing the Opposite: Business Disruptors, Jeff Dewing speaks to musician David Philp.

David rose to fame in the UK after forming his punk band The Automatics in 1976, even reaching No 1 with their track ‘When the Tanks Roll Over Poland Again’. As punk popularity faded David moved to LA before getting a call from Japan in 2000 when everything changed again…

David reflects on the times when he did the opposite including leaving the UK for 10 days but then never returning! He also reveals how trusting his intuition and grasping an opportunity at exactly the right time, transformed his business.

David also shares what he’s most grateful for and a key learning of his life and career.
