Or So You Thought...

-

 Remember when you were growing up, life appeared to be simple; not a care in the world did you have back then. For me, it was this: “when I grow up, I’m going to do this and that, etc.” or so you thought. 

I bring up the past about our younger selves because as adults we get lost in the “I gotta have or do....” and it’s hardly ever a cliche for us to “stop and smell the roses.” Hurried along so much in this adult life that the most important is forgotten: you; or so you thought. 

In writing, I take time to examine what is missing for me: my validation of myself. Everything always comes back around to number one. It is a total circle about number one. We see reflections of ourselves in others but don’t always look inward and reflect on what’s there, what’s wrong and what to do now from here?

This entry is one of many of my journey in life. The statement or phrase “or so you thought” just rattled in my head as I was thinking about my own inner being and what I need to change in my life. In accordance to my own understanding and acceptance of myself, or so you thought gives me a kick in the ass to get it together. It’s the change in the narrative for me. 

Take better care of you.

Feeling a little meh?

Good evening Sunshines! Different huh? Well, I think now I will be changing things up a little bit. I am confident that you will enjoy what I have to say. Lately, as I continue to travel on this journey, life has my MEH! What I mean by that is things are not going the way as planned. No short cuts, but more like the long way to reach the golden ring. It is frustrating and  depressing to know that you are so close but it feels that you are so far away. Even when the SIGHS, meditation, motivation and inspiration seem not to work...just get quiet. You would think well: I want to cry, scream, fight, jump, be angry and the whole 9...but what does that change? Relief yes, but the situation? It still remains. Honestly, I have no solution. What works best is the effort that you put in to relieve the stress. What is the best option? How do I get past this? 5 years from now will it matter? These are the questions I am asking right now. There is hope. It is close. I know, but it feels so...

Celebrate the Small Victories

-
 Good morning Lovies and Sunshines!      I am thankful and grateful for being able to type this post out. No, nothing has happened and I am not going thru a crisis (lol) but I am going to celebrate the small victories. I am back in the swing of things with what I enjoy, love and am passionate about. I celebrate that small victory for myself. My son and others have reminded me to celebrate the small victories. I encourage you to do so as well, despite whatever the case may be.       Every now and again we need to celebrate the victories in our lives and affairs! I am thankful for the opportunity to be here in this space speaking to you in conversation. Your life story is dependent upon you and your directorship. Your life is your movie. 1.2.3 Action! You are in charge of victory or defeat. Even the small things that you feel are insignificant can count as victories.        How about this: celebrating the small victories hel...

CONVERSATIONS

Let’s have that conversation, that will change the nation, creating a vibration o f love, peace and harmony. In fact, if we have that conversation, that will bring on the creation of more change and oppression, more connection than transgression, with the lesser of aggression and the move of more love and affection. We are what we speak. Who we are to be and where we are divinely placed are the answers we should seek. As you move forward in your journey d on’t forget to have that conversation, that will change the nation, creating a vibration of love peace and harmony. In fact, once that conversation is started, continued, finished and we have departed, use your ability to act now! Not asking when or how, but pulling together the elements and tools that were left for us to use by our ancestors.  Granting us permission to push forth and will against the oppressors. I challenge you to have that conversation, changing nations, creating vibrations to ta...
