Journey To Greatness!

Get It Together!

2012-01-23T02:57:00.000-08:00

Stop stretching yourself so thin, multitasking maybe a way of doing things but not a way to constantly live. Be fully present in each moment of your life. Handle each task one at a time, if you don’t you will only be giving out portions of yourself. Anytime you handout portions to anything it takes away from it being whole. Although your intentions are good, no one wants bits and pieces of you, so shut it all down, regroup and start again. We often get so caught up in work, life kids, bills that we are stretched mentally and physically from one end to the next. I use to pride myself in being able to accomplish as many things in a day that would take a small office of five to complete in a week. I don’t know if it was ego or just plain control issues that had me thinking I had life under control. Pretty soon the sense of accomplishment went out the door, with stress and health issues taking residence in my life. I was so focused on getting things done, that even family became a task to get accomplished. The crazy part is that in my quest to juggle everything I really felt well accomplished until I realized that I was not fully present and that I was only getting by. I don’t know about you, but doing a half ass job will result in having to do over, what could have been done correct the first time. There is more to life than just getting by, and looking good while we do it. The phone is constantly ringing, at home, work and in the car. I’m picking up or dropping off. I’m managing multiple projects, goals and issues all in a days’ time. When dose our body and brain catch up? I use to think sleep was our time to regenerate and renew, but I’m finding out that even in sleep if we are bogged down, our minds will not allow us to rest leaving us feeling cranky and upset. If you awake with an attitude, and not know why, it’s because we are over loading ourselves up and taking it all to bed at night with us, and we are truly mad about it. Slowly it dawned on me that I’m on the treadmill of life, which I so wanted to avoid! If you find yourself in this place it’s a sign that although your busy, life is passing you by. So to remedy the overlapping of your work life balance, take some time to figure out what needs to be done and how you are going to go about doing it. One thing at a time.~Gia

Take Inventory!

2012-01-20T05:40:00.000-08:00

There comes a time when, you have to do some inventory on the people in your life. Are you surrounded by loving supportive people or are half the people you hang with doubtful and skeptical of you and your dream? We often entertain bad treatment from others to get along or fit in, but the real issue is that we tolerate their ridicule and keep them as so called friends. This is not recess and life is truly no play ground, our time should not be wasted explaining our desire to be more. There is a classic crab in the bucket mentality that wants to keep you in, as you’re trying to climb out! Your seeds of work, faith and belief should not be scattered on shallow ground, be mindful of where you are trying to deposit your dreams. As in any crop if the ground is constantly being washed over by a sea of negativity, each idea or goal you plant will float away. Take inventory of how many of your inner circle folks are in agreement with you or are they throwing salt and roadblocks to slow you down? The enemy is crafty he is not past using family and friends to mess with your mind and deposit doubt and disbelief in your mind. If criticism is always prevalent or close when a certain friend or family member is around, then you may need to limit your visits or learn to keep your seeds covered. When you are working hard to cultivate your garden of dreams and ideas, it’s always best to find a safe environment that you can trust, to give yourself a chance to plant your harvest and watch it grow. When you learn to respect yourself you will quickly readjust whom you allow on your path, protect the entrance to your heart as it is said in the good book, when you hear, speak and take in your spirit could be poisons to your passion and soul. Keep yourself in the light and move forward!~Gia

Know the Intent!

2012-01-19T03:14:00.000-08:00

People will serve you a big glass of sugary nothing, with a side of lies and foolishness for your dessert. Being in Business, Love or even strong like requires an investigation into what you’re being invited into. Everyone comes into your life for a reason, some bring gifts of love, care, loyalty and prosperity while others come to steal, destroy and deceive you. Make sure you know who is at your door before you allow them in. Although flattery and talk may be their forte, there is nothing like a strong discerning eye to see past the fake chatter of deception to get to what really is. Know that what you get yourself into, easy in is not always easy out! Learn to recognize intentions before you take the leap with both feet in somebody’s koolaid. All situations and intentions are not created equal, if you allow yourself time and room to tune out the talk and watch the truth you will be better off. So pray for discernment in all that is before you take the leap. ~Gia.

Stop Swinging & Learn How To Fight!

2012-01-17T04:50:00.000-08:00

If you feel you’re against the ropes, and the blows keep coming, don’t move keep your balance, take your “Rope a dope Stance” Get your elbows up, protect your face and wait. Pretty soon your opponent will tire, and then you can extend and connect your punches. Don’t need words a good fighter never telegraph the blow. It makes no sense to continue to fight, to go around and round, holding on to your opponent trying to restrain them from throwing blows at your heart and your life! You are no one’s punching bag, but you have to take some blows to build your endurance and know your opponents strength. In some instances being still until you can move will allow you to catch your breath, dig in your heals and plan your attack. In all good battles a fighter train and sharpen their skills to win, not lose. If you are in the middle of any fight it makes no sense to keep talking trying reason with a fool. Muhammad Ali was a great fighter, he would say float like a butterfly, sting like a bee” Butterflies are quiet you barely see them coming, so it gives you an opportunity to get closer to deliver a mighty blow. Trust me they will feel a bee sting! It’s time to win, check your corner and evaluate your crew; everyone that is in the ring is not necessarily in your corner. Be fearless, plan, train and become the champ that you truly are!~Gia

Slow Down!

2012-01-16T22:12:00.000-08:00

Stop, we are always rushing in everything we do, sometimes we need to pray and plan before we make strategic moves in our lives. If you are always in a hurry, you will miss the key ingredients in your journey that will be beneficial for your future! Slow it down, if you have something good now, no worries, it won’t leave you because what is destined for you will always be simply for you. There are times when we all have to make decisions in the mist of passion and disappointment, if it was you, which road would you travel? If a situation in your life feels out of control, the best thing to do is relinquish trying to control it! Fighting against anything will only bring more of what you don’t want in your life, your attention to negativity will only breed energy into more negativity. Repeating the same effort and expecting different results won’t work! Simply stop, think and change how you deal with it. Go Team You!This is your world, so make it big. Walk like you know where you are going, and always act like you already have arrived! The quality of a person is determined by their past and present steps, so make sure yours count for something today ~Gia

Plan Your Journey!

2012-01-13T02:14:00.000-08:00

At some point we all have to stop flying around aimlessly and make a flight plain. Life is not a permanent vacation, remember once it’s over it's over, you need to find a place to land. Get your head out of the clouds and start setting expectations for yourself; you can’t keep winging it and expect to get further in life then where you are! Do an evaluation of self to determine where you’re truly headed, because no matter where you try to go, without a plan, you will eventually end up right back at the same terminal! 1. Are you happy? 2. Are you doing what you’re meant to be doing? 3. Are you in a place that is nurturing to your spirit? 4. Are you doing what needs to be done daily? 5. Is God your Chief Consultant and Guide? If the answer is yes to all of these, happy flying, if no to at least two, you need a better flight plan. If you look at a plane flying across the sky, it looks from our point of view that its truly majestic and powerful, everything looks intact and it’s doing what it is made to do. But with all things if proper maintenance is not given once it crash and burn, everyone is shocked because on the outside it looked well maintained, but on the inside there was something faltering. Ego beware, If you allow others to have control and dictate your time and space, you will wind up only working to fulfill their agenda. It’s time that your time, actually benefits you! Re-focus and dedicate thought as to where your concentration should be. To exceed you must learn to add you to your priorities, find inner peace, build yourself worth and esteem, and let go of past hurts, before you take on anyone else as an assignment. If you’re broken, you really have no business attempting to fix anybody else! Let the Divine be your guide, move out of his way so he can take care of his own!~Just be still and know.~Gia

Affirmation: I Love & Approve of My Self!!!

2012-01-11T17:43:00.000-08:00

Do On To Others!Are you having strange issues with people? Does someone owe you money and wont pay you back? Did someone hurt your feelings or even lied or cheated on you? Are you having issues at your job, with communications or with someone close? “You get what you give!” That sage old adage ring in my ear to this day, my Mother and Grandmother would always have those little sayings, when news would come around, of someone getting their just desert! They would quote the saying from the bible that “You reap what you have sowed” Could it be that some people have misused, misdirected and hurt people by their actions, while others are just victims of circumstance? The rule of the Law of Attraction is that you give off a vibration, to the Universe and that vibration attracts things, people and situations to your life that match the vibration that you are sending out. So for example, if I told a lie, then eventually I am going to get lied too which does not seem far from what the bible and my Mother and Grandmother would say. I am saying this to say, before you judge a situation or person, stop and take a moment to analyze your self and ask the question why is this happening, and why am I attracting this to me at this time. Was there something in your thoughts that may have brought the situation on? If you have seen the movie “The Secret” there is a scene where a homosexual man was constantly harassed about being Gay. He would get accosted on the streets and at work and it seem that every where he went, someone was bothering him about being Gay. Finally the guy went to see one of the counselors from the Secret and told them his situation. The first thing the counselor suggested was for the guy to clear his mind and stop thinking about what others thought of him. He suggested that the guy imagined in his mind that people accepted him and finally he told him that he needed to learn to accept his self.Learning to accept your self is the key to a lot of external and internal issues that we face daily. Have you ever had a spot on your clothes, a run in your stockings or a pimple that you thought was humongous? You would walk around like you had a bolder hanging from your neck and every time someone would speak to you, you felt like they were looking right at the trouble spot? Most of us, would probably have an internal conversation saying “Oh my gosh, I wonder if they notice it?” Even though the person speaking to you may never have noticed it, you would eventually bring up the issue and all the while making up excuses as to why its there!! LOL What about when someone give you a compliment, most people counter act the compliment with something negative, as thou they don’t deserve the compliment!“My what a nice shirt or dress, you wear it well” then you reply by saying "Oh, this old thing, I just threw something on, or I am surprised it still fit!" All of these sayings are discounting your self and the compliment. You may not realize but what you say about your self matters more then what someone else thinks or says about you. So work toward thinking and talking less about what others have to say, and pay attention to what you are thinking and saying about your self. Love Peace N Much Respect

Get Out Of Your Own Way!!

2012-01-10T08:02:00.001-08:00

Taking a break from life will only set you back from your goal! This is the number one reason we can’t get our foot off the ground! We are spending too much time discussing the wrongs that have happen to us instead of embracing the rights! It’s time to forgive yourself and others and move on! As you look back over your year and think about what you have done to contribute to your journey, make note of your actions, were you easily deceived by sweet talkers or those that profess to love you and really don’t? Focus on your actions not of others, really think about what you did to contribute to your, the joy, the happiness, maybe the breath of new life. Maybe it’s the things you got away with, lied about denied or even tried to hide, issues of the heart, sadness, low esteem, jealousy whether it’s right or wrong each action has create something on your path. It all starts with you, what you accept and what you allow. The choices we make often determine if we are to excel or be delayed in our journey. The enemy is no fool, he have access to your thoughts and know you weaknesses. This is why we must learn to focus on the lord. We often take side bars and are fooled by those that God has not approved, only because we think it’s the right thing to do at the time. Even though that small voice say don’t do it we do and just to turn back around and have to hit repeat again and again! If you don’t learn the lessons of life at first, know that it will come back up in a different form again! Get your senses together and recognize BS as it approaches, the red flags are up and showing so don’t be dense and deny what God is showing you. Press the eject button on those situations and people that are not motivating ,and singing a positive tune in your life. If we spend our time nurturing foolishness then more of it will definitely grow! #Getyourheadinthegame!~Gia

Clear The Runway!

2012-01-09T02:07:00.001-08:00

Before you can take flight, it is imperative to clear the runway! Clear your way of distractions, deceptions, disillusions, disrespect and disregard for your journey. There are some that will book a flight or even buy a ticket just to be noisy. If you’re savvy, some won’t make it through boarding, because scanners will be flashing! Man your X-ray machines making sure it can pick up evidence, of those that heart isn’t right. Check your flight plan closely to make sure the hijack to Hater -Ville is taken off the schedule, once your path is clear; you can be free to roam the country! We are so busy trying to get where we are going that we ignore the foolishness going on around us. In any airport before a plane is allowed to take flight the runway must be clear! It should be the same in your life, in order to reach higher heights the distractions need to go. If you are in the mist of storms, fog or just people hanging around to monitor your progress trust me this will and can hinder your take off! I would suggest pulling yourself in and away so that you can adjust, tune yourself up, and regroup before you start your journey. I understand that we all need support and love to make it in this world, but at some point we each have to take flight alone and by the way planes or eagles don’t fly together. Thatisall!~GIA

Seeing Your Way Through The Storms! ~Gia

2012-01-08T07:16:00.000-08:00

At some point we become condition to accepting BS! We allow people, jobs and attitudes to get up in our spirits and dismantle our faith, perseverance and courage to do more for ourselves and our dreams. Everyday there is some type of distraction or attack on our health, finances or our personal relationships to try and stall us from achieving the happiness that God so wants for us. This process is testing our resolve to see what we are made of, all storms come to destroy, but often times the enemy don’t realize that out of a little rain comes blooms of new growth! So whenever I feel the pain of strong winds and hail blowing through my life, I take a moment to see the good in the mist of the storm. Maybe someone hurt you or left you, or said something derogatory about you. Don’t allow someone else’s attitude or situation cause you to become sad or bitter. It’s time to clean out the old and replace with new! I’m not saying get rid of everything and everyone, I’m saying allow God to breathe new life in old things. If your relationship has went south, change your actions and you go north to figure things out. We often fight to hold on to things long after the life of it has gone. I know that being able to let go and move on, take courage but you are so much stronger then you think. If you let go and allow God to make the movements you will be shocked and surprise what his best looks like compared to what you were trying to clutch and save! Love, Peace and Much Respect, ~Gia

Before You Can Take Flight, Clear Your Runway!!!

2012-01-06T03:21:00.000-08:00

We are bombarded with distractions some seen and unseen all vying for our attention! It’s time to stop wasting our energy and get real about what we are doing daily. I always set out my day declaring that I will get certain things done, to sometimes find myself not doing one thing because I’m caught up with other unscheduled stuff. Ok, life happens and unexpected things happen too! But, it comes a time when we have to at least put forth the effort to get it done. We are no longer at the age of time wasting foolishness, not to say that fun and frolic isn’t cool, but there is time allotted for everything when you have balance in your life. Before you can take flight, it is imperative to clear the runway! Clear your way of distractions, deceptions, disillusions, disrespect and disregard for your journey. There are some that will book a flight or even buy a ticket just to be noisy. If you’re savvy, some won’t make it through boarding, because scanners will be flashing! Man your X-ray machines making sure it can pick up evidence, of those that heart isn’t right. Check your flight plan closely to make sure the hijack to Hater -Ville is taken off the schedule, once your path is clear; you can be free to roam the country! Thatisall!~GIA

Learn to Surrender!

2011-12-14T01:23:00.001-08:00

Learning to surrender is not giving up your will, but trusting and allowing the process to return your gift of being faithful! Some find it hard to wait; they want instant gratification and attention, moving on their own accord, only to be disappointed, after finding that it was all a facade. Might you put in some work, pray, trust him and activate your faith to get the real deal the first time around?

We are off to the races!

The horses are at the gate and they are released! The fast sure bet makes it out of the gate in record time, so you think “Yep, I am putting all my money on that one, their quick, showy and eager to win this race!” But slowly just when you have placed all you have on the sure bet, it seems it began to change its stride. The chosen one expected to win, starts pulling back, stumbling, running wildly, not keeping the pace like it was predicted. Then up comes another more stable striding horse, this horse has a strong posture, steady stride, it’s gallop is deliberate more sturdy, more sure.

You never paid attention to this horse, because you were so excited about the sure bet. So you watch and wonder where this horse was and why it was not pegged as a sure bet? As your pick begins to slow down and fall behind in the race, people are shocked confused. This horse was pegged to win!

All while the stable horse continues to keep it’s same stride, not even looking to the left or right just moving within its lane making all the turns with ease, only to win the race. Sometimes we allow the enemy to sell us his roster sheet of what he thinks is a sure bet, all shiny attractive and new is very exciting, but so disappointing.

God may not be as flashy, he is not trying to temp us with shiny counterfeit things. He is more interested in the permanence of our foundation and developing our future. So he allows us the freedom to place our bets in hopes that we use what he has instilled in us, wisdom and faith to make the right choices. It’s time to understand that fanfare is not always the way to go, look at the big picture, make more deliberate choices for your life, this race was set for you to win, only if you make the right choices! Sometimes you will lose, but if you look on to him he will teach you how to truly find your sure bet~ GIA

Merry Christmas!

Learn How to Win The Race in Your Life!

Where Do I Begin to Make Changes?

2010-05-18T06:53:00.000-07:00

I was watching Oprah yesterday, and her guest was Will & Jada Smith and family. Since I am a lady of leisure for now, I do try and get some Oprah in every now and then. Lol, Well, what I found very interesting is how the family operated and talked about how successful they were as a family unit, each brining something to contribute to a larger family vision, goal and mission. The most interesting comment was that Will & Jada said they conduct their family lives and their marriage as though they are managing a business.

There are so many of us that could use a little management in our daily lives. We have become so accustom to allowing our lives to dictate to us what we are going to do each day. As a hamster on a wheel we go round and round in our daily routine without paying much attention to if what we are doing is making a difference in our lives. Surely our creator has more in store for us then the routine that we have created for ourselves. I am not saying that fanfare should be our daily expectation, but the thought of something more should always be right on the tips of our tongues. The time of taking our selves, family and love ones for granted is over, there is so much more to life than just surviving.

I know that times are difficult and there are a few of you that think money is the hold back in your life, either having it or not having it has been a quest or the reason for your hold back. But, life moves forward if you have money or not. It takes nothing to go to the park, sit outside in your back yard and appreciate the sky. Wake up early on Saturday and watch some cartoons, or make breakfast for a few friends and laugh for a change, go to the movies, rent a movie and pop some popcorn and just enjoy it. Get out of your routine, let your window down when driving or let the window up in the house and allow God’s breeze to come through.

If you have kids, stop for a sec and just have a conversation about whatever is on their minds. You would be surprised the stuff they worry about. Surprisingly you will find that they are such extensions of ourselves so they pick up our energy and act out what they see us going through or what we are doing. So if you are tense, then you can bet, your child is feeling it.

Sit down and make yourself a schedule of your day, figure out how much are you getting done and if not much, then figure out what would make you happy to do! When you feel accomplished you have more pride and self worth in your life. Let’s get some things done; I am with you on this journey.
Love, Peace and Much Respect!

Why Is This Happening?

2010-05-13T14:17:00.000-07:00

Why is this happening?

Distraction is a major cause of procrastination, though it is possible to be diligent and still diverted from what is valuable. According to philosopher Damon Young, distraction is chiefly an inability to identify, attend to or attain what is valuable, even when we are hard-working or content.There are times when I just can’t seem to get anything done! I feel like I am spinning my wheels, and I am far from reaching my goals.

So here you are there are things that you know you must get done or you need to get done and Boom! Something out of the blue comes up to take your attention away. Here is a very likely example, a phone call from someone that wants to tell you their drama or business, or trying real hard to get in to your business. (Distraction) You go to the mail box and out of the blue, there is a unexpected bill, or letter or something to occupy your mind from whatever it is you’re needing to do (Distraction). Make note, all things that happen are not considered distraction, but I believe, there is a force that is constantly working to get in your way and control your focus.

The test is how true you stay to your goal or project, learning to keep being in peace. Work on controlling your emotions and taking the time to analyze what is going on in your day. Trying to fit to many things in to your day can create chaos and confusion which can be a big distraction. If your having the day from hell, just stop find a quiet space, your car, your closet, the bathroom stall at work. Take a few really deep breaths and ask yourself “What?” “What is it that I need to be doing, what is it that is happening right now in this moment?” Deal with the moment.

You can’t control how others react to you or if they are doing things that affect you, but you can retreat and handle yourself accordingly. If you are having crazy mornings, getting to work late, kids moving slowly, take some time to plan the night before and get up thirty minutes early so that you can set the pace for your day. God has given you the authority to manage, take it and get in control!
Love, Peace and Much Respect!

What's Your Name?

2010-05-12T05:11:00.000-07:00

What’s Your Name Again? (Silly Butt, Crazy Legs, Goof ball, Fool, Bay Bay, Pookie?)

When I was young, my family had a habit of giving the kids and each other nicknames. If they were angry at you or trying to give you directions, you can bet that they would call you something much different than your name. I have been called dumb butt, bird eyes, silly girl and brownie, Mickey mouse, and a host of funny and sometimes humiliating names. As you grow you know that these names are not of harm, but sometimes of humor. Never the less, the other day I was talking to my daughter and found myself calling her out her name using one of my Aunts old adages! “Slice of Bacon Booty” (meaning slim, thin as a slice of bacon.) Now, all though this may sound funny and I said this in fun teasing her, I had to think back to how I felt being called all these different names as a child.

I quickly realized that we must not pass on generations of raisings and protocol, which have been forced upon us, because that is just the way it is. We should not accept poor or disrespectful behavior because it’s all in fun. Words are so powerful and many of us have had to endure poor behavior toward us and our self esteem from parents, siblings, spouses and even friends. As a parent of myself and my children I have learned that it is easy for a child to pick up being who they are told to be.
Self esteem has become a dumping ground for people to play with or tread on. Maybe that is why we have so many men and women acting out because of insecurities. Words are life and they have a force that can either build or tear down a person’s spirit. Be mindful of how you talk to your children, others and yourself.

I know there are times that our kids or someone else can make you angry, but understand that most of the time, you are angry at the act of what the person has done. Not necessarily mad at the person. Watch your words, know that once they leave your lips they are in the atmosphere of the Universe to create or destroy. I know it’s not easy but, give it a try it may make a difference in your life, marriage, relationship, your children’s life or even your work life. In the words of my little Sister, (Go where the love is.
Love, Peace and Much Respect!

Am I Beautiful? Then, Where Is My Mate?

2010-05-09T04:48:00.000-07:00

There once was a woman name Nandi,
she lived in a small village in Africa. Nandi was coming of age to be married and was in waiting for her mate to claim her. Nandi was very worried that her mate would not find her, so she worked very hard to make sure that he would. She began doing everything she could to make sure that she was beautiful. Nandi overheard a conversation between her Mother and Aunt talking about how men only loved beautiful women, and how beauty would win the prize husband. Nandi thought to herself,” I will make myself the most beautiful, that way when my husband comes, he will see how beautiful I am and take me as his bride!”

Nandi asked some of the village men, what is beautiful to you, they smiled and replied, a woman is beautiful if she has a beautiful body, strong lean and shapely! Nandi went home in the mirror and took a long look and asked the mirror, am I beautiful, strong lean and shapely? The mirror replied, No! You have big hips and real thick thighs; I don’t think you will capture any husband’s eyes. So Nandi cried, oh God, “Why have you made me this way?”

Nandi was sad, but determined not to give up she continued on her quest, and decided to ask her mother” “What is beautiful to you?” Nandi’s mother smiled and said beautiful woman have lovely hair. Nandi, left her mother in a daze, on to the mirror she asked. “So, do I have lovely hair?’ Once again the Mirror replied, “No, your hair is not long and wavy, it’s thick and coarse. I don’t think you will capture a husband’s eye.”

Nandi was so disappointed, she cried and cried and that night she decided to confront God and ask him how could he make such a mistake? How could he not make her beautiful so that she too could find a mate like other women in her village had?
God answered Nandi, without haste, Nandi, you are the most beautiful, I made each woman different. I don’t want you to be the same. Each of your features I handpicked only to you. I heard you questioning your beauty, and why everyone had a different answer; you see, I gave each woman something wonderful, that only her man could recognize as a gift to his soul. This is how he will find you, yes; it will take time because I need you to grow. Be not in a rush, some will come only to look and some will come to take what is not theirs, but know from each you will learn to wait on the true light of my heart.

Fall not for counterfeit lovers! I gave you beautiful curves that you and the mirror called big hips, these hips forms a silhouette that is so wonderfully you as a woman. This is a bonus because your man will give you beautiful children to bear; your hips will make it easier to carry these jewels. Your thighs are made just for you, to balance the frame of a gorgeous flower that you are. Your hair is as my son Jesus, which your man will find pleasure in seeing Jesus in you.

So why are you asking everyone else, critiquing my work? I don’t want every man to see your beauty, if they all see it, they will all want it, and it’s only made for one. He will find you and know in his heart that you are his gift. Oh and before I go, please stop talking to yourself and answering yourself, in the mirror! The enemy had you fooled, I make no mistakes. You are so precious and beautiful, ask not of yourself, and just simply come to me! Now go to sleep and when you wake, know that you are my flower and as all flowers grow when ready they too will get picked.

Love, Peace and Much Respect!

I Need An Answer Now!

2010-05-07T07:56:00.000-07:00

You can think that you are good at some things, but when you start to truly believing that you are good at all things, then you become amazing! :p

I woke up this morning seeking answers from the Universe, trying to mull over questions ,and trusting God would give me the answers. As I spoke and waited I found myself in a anxious wait like mode, as if I was on a game show! Here I am God, contestant number one, and I am asking God questions and as expected by so many of us, I want the answer to come quick, and concise, big, like a instant prize on a game show.

Sometimes we become so caught up in waiting on the burning bush fan fare, that we forget that God answers us on his own terms. I think if we truly got one of those Hollywood answers from God, that we would probably wet our pants lol. So God knowing us like he does, gives us gentle believable answers that fit just right in to our lives. Maybe your answers are right in front of you, or maybe it’s coming from a stranger or a close friend. I feel that when we ask for clarity on something, that we need to ponder over why we are asking. I had a friend say that she was seeking clarity over a relationship, and as we spoke she talked about all the things that were red flags and how she wanted to make sure that going in to a relationship was the right thing to do.

I posed the question to her “ Why do you ask, if this is the man for you and you truly want to be with him then why do you question the goodness of this relationship. See the funny thing about this is I myself have posed the same question and the answer I got was “How do you want this to turn out?” We have a choice as to how our relationships will go; do we have unrealistic expectations of others or ourselves? Let’s go in to relationships with high expectations of happiness and enjoying each other, why not let the chips fall where they may. Yes, disappointment can happen, but only when there are expectations of failure. Sometimes we have to get pass ourselves and truly take an optimistic approach.
Believe that everything is going to be wonderful, whatever wonderful mean to you.
Love, Peace and Much Respect!

How Did I Get Here?

2009-08-04T13:00:00.000-07:00

How did I get here?

It was a busy afternoon yesterday and I had been knocking out all the items on my list for the day. I had one appointment scheduled right before I was free to head home. I arrived for my appointment on time and was right on schedule. Don’t you love those days? “When you seem the most productive and things just seem to flow.” Well I was doing it yesterday “So to speak” pulled in to the parking garage, feeling a bit smug about taking care of my business. I got out of my car with my purse, keys, folder and cell phone in hand, all ready to complete the last task on my daily list. I was really focused on the time, and the meeting I was about to go into.

When all of a sudden, the next thing I knew. “I was mid air like Kobe Bryant flying trying to make that last hoop!” My purse went one way, keys and cell phone the other. I then realized that I was lying on the concrete floor in the parking garage. Wow! I was a bit dazed and confused as to what just happen. As I slowly shook the impact off, I was reduced to the likes of a four year old that just scraped her knee. I wanted to cry, but that would not have been cool, considering I am always giving my eight year old daughter the “Don’t cry, you’re going to be ok speech!” So I had to gather my self and take the responsibility that I had fallen all on my own accord. My first thought was someone must have attacked me from the back, but there was no one in sight. Then I thought maybe my heel broke on my shoe causing me to fall, but that was not the case! I began to expect all my parts and everything was still intact, just disheveled from the fall. I had totally tripped over a concrete parking placement median, which was right there big as day!

I say all this (not) to make you laugh, (although very funny), or invite you to the comical styles of Gia! But to remind you that on our journey there may be stumbling blocks that knock the wind out of us, or bring us face down in prayer. See, I was so focused on getting there, that I forgot to check out my surroundings before I proceeded. When things happen to us, we often blame other people for causing it or promoting it. For some of us, what happens to us is never our fault or issue, but we perceive that it is that of others, which have caused us our current fate. So, feelings being a little hurt and yet a little embarrassed, I realized that I alone was in my own way.

Sometimes these falls or accidents are provided to strengthen us, and if not severe, it could cause us to slow down and pay attention to what we are doing. Don’t’ be so in a hurry to get where you are going, the rush, can and will make you miss the whole journey. As I always say God has such a sense of humor, for me the spirit finds creative ways to get my attention. Others maybe it’s an unexpected bill, the lost of a job or spouse. How ever your awakening comes, don’t be so quick to think it’s an attack. It could be that you need to spend some time looking up or at what’s around you! So, I suffer the pains of not taking the time to pay attention, but gained the insight of the message.

Love, Respect & Peace

वहत इस यौर करे तेल्लिंग यू?

What Is Your Core telling You?

If you have ever enjoyed a nice piece of fruit, you know that sometimes on the inner part of the fruit, which is called the core, their may be seeds or a hard spine or maybe just a bitter inner part that have to be removed or cut out before the fruit can actually be enjoyed. The core is considered the center it’s the internal part of anything that may act as a catalyst to hold something together or it can be the start of developing something. We all have a core; all things begin with a core. The new exercise craze right now speaks of strengthening your core which is considered the mid stomach area on your body. The core can also be the foundation of your inner emotions.

There will be times when you feel something emotional deep in the pit of your stomach. This area is considered your emotional core. You will feel so strongly about something or a situation that you will feel it physically in your body’s frame. I believe that the Creator added this little section in our bodies as an internal time clock that will react as an alarm when we are in need of internal wisdom. So, “what is your core telling you?” Are you feeling antsy like you need to move or do something different? Does your core become hard when a time of stress or butterfly flutters? All of these feelings are working toward getting you use to using your internal systems to make decisions and to alert you of something.

We often make rash decisions with out taking time out to stop and really evaluate what we feel inside. God has given us some useful equipment that we sometimes rarely use. Just like a well equipped vehicle, we have our very own (Onstar security system) this internal system will sound an alarm, asking us internal questions and push us forward to reach our goals. So listen to your core and what it is saying to you, remembering that our answers are always inside of us. What is your core telling you?

Speak Life Into Your Situation!

2009-04-08T07:25:00.000-07:00

If you could build your ideal life, “what would it look like?” We all are running around here talking about what we don’t want, but few are saying what we do want! There will be a course of several things happening to you at one time, sometimes negative and or positive; it’s how you handle those situations that will guarantee you success. As in anything life is a test, a test of your integrity, a test of your loyalty and strength. How strong are you to be able to look at your situation and be truthful about it? How loyal are you to your self or your family to do what needs to be done? Maybe the bills need to be discussed or organized, maybe attention need to be paid to your self your affairs and your home! How loyal are you to your self? Do you make an effort to do something good for your self daily?

It’s not about the money; it’s not about the time. The time spent complaining or talking or sulking about a situation could be the time spent on finding a positive solution. All issues, problems and negative actions have a positive side somewhere amongst the storm. Learning to stop, look and listen to what you are saying to your self and others can give you a clear picture of what your results are. The Law of attraction says that “If you want to know what you are thinking daily, stop and take a look at your life.” Thoughts create things, situations and processes regardless of good or bad. The choice is up to you.

A good friend gave me a CD by Dr. Ed Young. The CD was called my “Daily Confessionals” Each day I put the CD in and repeat positive confessions before I start my day. I would profess that “I am abundant and happy and my day was going to be filled with joy” Each day I would laugh and say “Yeah Right!” they don’t know my story. But, I continued to listen and do it anyway. I figured I did not have anything to lose by saying it. Then my friend told me about a process called a (Prosperity Fast), each day I would wake up and say out loud or to my self that “I am Prosperous!” I started out very skeptical, even though I know the process of how the Law of attraction works. I still had doubt that it would work for me.

I was already doing the confessional CD daily; I decided to incorporate the Prosperity Fast along with it. I woke up saying “I am Prosperous” I went to sleep saying “I am Prosperous” If a bill was due, I would go in to my chant, if the rent needed to be paid and I had no clue as to how I was going to pay it, I would go in to my chant. Each time I tested this process, it came through with flying colors! I don’t know if it was the sound of my own voice speaking my progress in to existence, or if it was the conviction of my spirit that convinced me I could do it.

Each day miraculous things would happen. It was slow at first, but I kept it up. One day my Bank Account was very low, I had five dollars to put in my Gas tank to get me through the week. I pulled up to the station and swiped my card, put the gas nozzle in and went in to the store to grab a news paper. I just assumed that it would stop at $5. By the time I got back to check on the pump, I noticed that $25 had been pumped in to the tank! I cringed to myself; (negative) I thought I had over drawn my account! Another fee I thought to myself. But I kept confessing daily that I was prosperous. Guess what I never had a debit out of my account. That same $5 sat there until the next payday. I never had an overdraft from that encounter. I looked and looked for that transaction and even called the bank to inquire about it, but it was never found.

Please understand I am not telling you this to glorify beating the bank or getting by with anything. I am telling you this so that you know that if you put in a little work in to what you are saying about your situation, that miracles can happen. You alone can change your situation no matter what it is; it can turn a negative in to a positive! I took this situation as a sign from the Universe that it heard me and also believed me that I was serious about being prosperous. I called for favor from God. This small thing with the gas tank let me know that if you speak things, not as they are, but as you would like them to be, as God directed us to, that your reward will and can be granted.

It's All About Choices!

2009-04-07T13:12:00.000-07:00

My Grand Father was a very determined man, in his life, I have seen him make strong decisions and he taught me how to stand strong in the face of adversity and make clear decisions. But, there are times when I doubt myself, and I vasicillitate between having what I say I want, and wondering if I made the right choices and if maybe there is something better on the horizon. We all have made certain choices in our lives and some of those choices have not been to our benefit, in relationships, finances, jobs places to live etc. But the key is the gift of the freedom to make choices for our selves. If the Bible is correct it states that God gives us the free will to love him or to choose something else. to me if our Creator has given us the choice to love or deny him then making a choice is a big deal!! How do we determine that the choice we made will be good or not? How do we move forward after making bad choices? How do we correct mistakes from the past?

There are no clear cut answers that any one could give you, but spiritually and metaphysically we learn from our choices. Although we may repeat them over and over we still learn from them. Some people run from what feels good, because they don’t feel they deserve that good thing. Others take the good thing and because it is different from what they are use to, they find them selves making excuses and finding a way to sabotage it so they can go back to feeling the lost. Have you ever met someone that is so use to losing that they are afraid to win? So, they continue to make bad choices because that is what they become comfortable with. I feel that if you truly make decisions with love in your heart for your self and others, then doubt will dissipate. Doubt is that red flag that says hold up, wait a minute, and cross carefully. Just like we have street lights to tell us when to stop, go, and slow down, we have internal flags that guide us. Sometimes that yellow light might say slow down, but it also mean you can keep moving forward until you see red.

Decisions come in all forms; it’s making a choice and knowing without a doubt that this is the best thing you could make for your self. If you have doubt then a conversation with the Creator is in store! I don’t feel that we are left on our own to figure it all out. I think that God gives us wisdom and he blesses us with glory to feel what is for our good. I say all this to let you know that we are not alone in making decisions for our lives. Some of us will graduate the 101 of life with flying colors and some will struggle to get to the next level. But on the way we will always be armed with the power to choose. I just ask that as you cross that street of making decisions for your life, that you take a pause long enough to figure out what it is you truly want. Don’t proceed without looking both ways, no need to look back and know where you plan to go when you make your move.

Do You have An Assignment?!

2009-04-03T10:31:00.000-07:00

There are times that the Creator will move your spirit to do something that you are completely dumb founded by. This message of instruction will stir in your spirit, not allowing you to let it go. You will find your self drawn to it and compelled to accomplish it. We all take pride in being of sound mind, and when out of the blue suggestions come around; it may have you feeling as if you have lost a few marbles! It’s alright; this is the way it should make you feel.

I was reminiscing about the Movie “The Pursuit of Happiness” when Will Smith’s Characters spirit was drawn to become a Stock Broker. He did not have any knowledge of why he was given this assignment, but felt that it could help him to make life better. This was all brought to him by getting his attention with the attraction to a car, that he saw a Broker get out of.

I believe that sometimes we are drawn to wanting material things, that will some how aide us and force us to work on our spiritual selves. By the character wanting that car or the life style that it represented, it helped to drive him to pursue his assignment.

God has moved me to accomplish things that I had little or no experience in my realm to do. But, through God’s grace I was able to do them successfully. I was always rebellious and doubtful about the assignment at first. It was difficult for me to accept some assignments; I would wake up in the middle of everything questioning myself and the Creator, only to walk through my fears and carry out the assignment without a hitch.

Know that you may not understand why God has you doing a certain thing and that this feeling is normal to be afraid. Trusting is hard and knowing that all things are brought to you for your good is not always an easy task. But, learning to trust in things that are not easily seen will be the gift.

So, take some time to treasure your experiences and with a small word of advice.” The road may become unfamiliar on your path, and there maybe mountains and obstacles through out your journey. You may have to slow down, and you may, get turned around by unexpected winds. But, there is so much reward waiting for you when you complete your assignments!

I once read an article about a man that enjoyed climbing mountains, when interviewed, the man said “The harder the climb the more he felt the need to accomplishment it.”

Taking Care Of Business! (Spring Cleaning Time)

2009-03-26T09:38:00.000-07:00

Taking Care of Business! (Spring Cleaning Time)

I was recently talking to my children, about energy and how it is important to allow energy to flow with in your home, car and office environment. I have learned through study and experience that clutter can bring on mental clutter. Everything is linked and is an outward manifestation of how you are thinking and feeling emotionally. Most people walk around with little things on their mental list of (I need) to do that, or take care of this, and the list continues to grow! Often times the list will get pushed down or go undone because as your time progress, your list gets bigger, and you continue to see the I really (need to) do things, that just seem to never get done. The result is a metal closet of projects, and little annoyances or the ( Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda) mentality.

Small things lead to big emotional lumps and annoyances! Have you ever been aggravated for no apparent reason? Do you often feel like a hamster spinning your wheels and not getting anything done? Well, we all do at some point in our lives become the victim of undone business that lurks around and cause us to feel guilty and inapt. Small things like clothes on the floor in our bedrooms or closets that are in much need of a refresh. In the metaphysical world your car represents your emotions, so if your back seat looks like a mini mart or a moving clothes closet then you are clogging your emotions with stuff.

Rule of thumb, if you are making excuses about anything before hand, then know that what ever it is need to be scheduled to get done. Don’t dismiss your conscious that is telling you, that you need to do something. I think God has a sense of humor! So the very things that you try to cover up or hide or make excuses for maybe dirty house, car or office space he will send people directly to it, and watch you squirm from embarrassment! LOL

Make a annoyance list and knock it out one by one, then sit back and watch life get better!

Do You Trust Yourself?

2009-03-18T08:07:00.000-07:00

There was a very thick fog on the roads this morning which made driving to work in the wee hours a challenge! But, in turn, the fog also was my muse to understand the lesson of trusting. Although I could not see the road very well in the thick of the fog, I still maneuvered through to reach my destination.

The road ahead was barley visible but I trusted my judgment and was certain, that the road would be there under pavement as it always had been. This certainty allowed me to drive safely to get to where I was going without fear. My daughter was sitting in the back seat and she asked me out of concern if, “I was sure of where we were going and if I was going to be alright driving through the fog with limited vision?” I assured her that we would be fine, not only because I knew the path without thought, but, because I trusted myself to keep us both safe.

Life is a lesson and all things, signs, actions and situations are given to us as a gift to teach, prepare and motivate us on our journey. There will be times when everything is foggy, and nothing is certain. The how and why, may not be answered clearly and we may not see, or know how to get through the journey or the road ahead of us.

When this occurs, we must rely on our senses and trust that the Creator will pull us through. Maybe our vision is blocked by something or someone, and we are not able to see our destination as clearly as we may have before. We must continue on our path by trusting and being certain that we will get there safely and in the right time.

Some of us are going through a transition in our lives, moving from one era to another. In this process we may be asked or motivated to do things that are not easy, or that we can’t see with in our reach. We must learn to trust, trust God, trust our selves and just as we drove through the fog on familiar roads on so many occasions with certainty, we need to trust and be certain that God is directing us on our journey and try not to question but know we are going where we need to go.

Press Pause!

2009-03-09T08:23:00.000-07:00

Have you ever felt like you were at a stand still? That life seems to have you on hold from getting the things you want or feel that you need? My Grandmother use to tell me that delays are God’s way of slowing us down, and preparing us to deal with what we asked for. She would then say “Be careful of what you ask for, because you just might get it!” This would make me wonder, why ask for something and then worry about if I will get it? Although this process of questioning my self would often delay my decision of getting what I asked for right away. The positive side was that the delay helped me to weed through the things or situations I did not want, and moved me to go for the things I did truly have a desire for.

As adults we most often have our own ideal of what we should have or what we feel is due to us. In asking our selves the question of “What do you really want?” the time it takes to get a sincere answer could mean the difference in jumping in having something blindside us or being prepared and aware. Sometimes there is a clear answer and other times we just assume this would be the best thing for us. But taking that pause can be very beneficial in preventing us from making a mistake. Making a decision about any thing can be very stressful; sometimes making a decision about simple things can put us in to frenzy and lead us to go back and forth with our selves about nothing. Understand that pausing can give us a chance to regroup and reap the rewards of being happy. So pause, breath, pray,think, move, recieve a clear answer and then, go get what you need.

What, Did I Just Hear Myself Say?

2009-02-19T07:54:00.001-08:00

What Did I Just Say?

I have learned that the power of your tongue and the ability to speak things in and out of your life can be a gift or a sometimes a big problem. It’s all about how you use your powers, if you speak positives seeds in to your life then that tree will bear fruit birthing your desires of success. But if you find your self speaking of negativity or you find your self lending an ear to allow words of defeat, foolishness and stress in to your system then the fruit you grow will take on a foul smell of deception and havoc in your life.

My Grandmother always told me to watch what I say, and to also watch what I allow myself to hear. Watching what you say is an old saying from the elders meaning to keep a watchful eye on the words coming from your own mouth in to your own ears. Your voice is potent and can add the curing elixir to anything that is ailing you or, your own words to your self or from others can be the poison that will hinder your life from growing to its fullest potential.

As I was talking to one of my Sisters, I heard myself say “What kills me is!” I heard myself make that statement and it shook me to the core. Here I am saying such a thing, and meaning something totally different. So, I politely stopped the conversation and said “No, I meant “what surprises me is… “By me correcting my statement it allowed me the chance to clean up my words before I put them in to the Universe. I think we have all heard the word from our Pastors’ Ministers, Parents, and friends about how powerful our words and voice is when it comes to manifesting things in to our lives.

If you don’t keeps a watchful eye on what you’re saying or receiving in your spirit you could become a party to your own problems or issues. We all become relaxed around people we trust and sometimes we allow our selves to say and do things that we would normally not do, but know that the Universe is always listening and will give you what it hear you say or see you doing. So if you are complaining about something and verbalizing it and how bad it is, then expect that the Universe will pick up on the vibration of what you’re saying and give you more of that! So if you want change in your life or if you want good things to happen then speak them in to existence, feel as if and it will come. Yes, it’s just that easy!

I know that you probably feel like “yeah right!” if that is true then why, why why? Well, ask your self why? What exactly have you been saying? Have you been declaring victory or talking of defeat? Trust God and trust you self to take good care of you! Oh.. Make sure you keel a rope around to catch those running words and pull them back in! LOL

Past, Present & Future!

2009-02-18T06:21:00.000-08:00

Past, Present and Future

Sometimes our Past, Present Future will collide and mix as though they are one. Have you ever experienced situations or people entering your life from your past, then the situation trickles over in to your present life only to change, or rearrange your life in the future? I have had so many conversations with people who are all of a sudden hearing from people they have not heard from in years! In this process you may experience the feelings you had when ever the encounter occurred as though it was yesterday.

I think that when we are faced with our past in our present that we sometimes for get that this situation that was once a prevalent part of our life is no longer there. The feeling of what ever the action or the situation was comes up in many forms, sometimes, tears, sometimes anger or laughter and joy. Each emotion that you have extended is planted in your past, present or future, and in your life time you will have the chance to experience that same emotion some where in your life.

Many of us push down our feelings and we don’t face our emotions because of fear of the out come or maybe we just have come to the end and feel there is no point in extending
Energy to a dead situation, so we don’t forgive, we don’t forget nor do we truly emotionally move on. Becoming delivered from the ghost of our past will allow us to walk in peace in our present which in turn brings us closer to a bright future!

I am saying this to move you to do the mental work on your self. Forgive people for their actions toward you and allow your soul not to harbor hate or allow your mind to constantly replay the story in your head. Let go of being right and understand that being something and always being alone is defeating your purpose. Move forward away from your past separating the emotions that may keep you bound to the past. Embrace your futre and laugh at the rest. The creator has a plan for your life, so sit back and enjoy the ride.
Love, Peace N Much Respect!

I Can See You Love Me!

2009-02-13T08:56:00.000-08:00

Happy Love Day!

When you look in to the eyes of your special someone, what is it that you see?
Is it a place of care and safeness? Is it a feeling of understanding and romance?
What you see is what you get! There is an old sage saying that the eyes are the windows to the soul! If this saying is true, then you should be able to see what your mate’s soul is saying about you. Love is expressed in many ways, some of us will show love by what we do and how we treat a person. Some will show their love by what they say and how they act around a person. But, regardless of how you are shown love, the key is if you can detect your mate’s feelings and energy in their eyes.

My Mother and Grandmother had the power to stop me dead in my tracks with one look. They did not have to say a word to me because I could see and feel their thoughts. This rings true to your relationship with your mate; you should be able to look at your mate and feel the love and find your answers about your relationship with them in their eyes.
Some people try hard to hide their true feelings from their mate or the one that they fancy. To me this is a way of cheating your self out of enjoying the feeling of love fully. There is nothing like having someone that is so in tune with you physically, mentally and emotionally that when you are together your vibrations are so strong that others around you take notice immediately. When two have a strong bond others around you may speak of love, marriage or even tell you of the feeling that you are vibrating!

Some of us fight hard to hide our eyes and pull down the shades to our hearts; this could be fear of opening up to someone and taking the chance of surrendering our love or it could be a stubbornness that won’t allow us to move forward and be happy. Regardless of how you try to pretend you are not connected to love, it will find a way to draw you near with a blink of an eye! Learn to appreciate the beauty in finding someone that has your rhythm, enjoy the dance that will take place and allow comfort to wrap you up like a warm blanket. There are tell –tell signs when you are in vibrational bliss with someone.

1.Your eyes meet often and linger in each others presence
2.You feel their smile to your core, it makes you happy to see them happy
3.Their words, voice and touch simply soothe you
4.You will find your self wondering what they are doing when they are not around
5.You visualize your self doing future events, dates, vacations and outing with them
6.When something happens great or small in your life, they are the person you want to tell first!
7. If you are physical with them (Sex is incredible!)
8.Words are not needed to get you aroused only the thought or just seeing them gets you going.
Allow your self to love now or again, you deserve it!
Love, Peace N Much Respect!

What Are You Saying About Yourself?

2009-02-05T08:06:00.000-08:00

What’s Your Story?

Everyone has a story! Some scenarios are considered good and sometimes the story can be considered bad, but it’s all in your perception of what is. The key to telling your own story is that you have the capability to change it! Yes, you can tell your story anyway you choose. You can tell it as a win or you can tell it as a defeat. We spend half our time talking and communicating about this and that, and we most always tell our current or past story to someone. The events that have taken place in our lives or the interactions with others or just what our perception is about something. I was speaking to a friend of mine that had just gotten laid off and he was telling me how horrible it was that he had lost his job and that he could not believe that this happen to him. I told him that it did not have to be a bad thing!! Yes he was laid off from his job and he did not have any income coming in right now, but now he had the freedom and the opportunity to choose what he wanted to do with his time, his career and life. We as a people become very routine oriented and will get caught up in the daily treadmill of life, often times ignoring our selves, our families and our dreams.

We often feel that we are limited in our choices, which we have to be one way or the other. There are those that feel they can not function with out a conformed job or career, and then there are others that feel they can only function in a creative career. It is as if the Universe looks at both sides of the spectrum and every now and again will switch the two and force the corporate crew to experience or develop their creative side and make the creative crew experience what being in a conformed career would feel like. This process allows both parties to experience living on either side.

I feel the key is to learn to master both aspects so that you can have balance and that you can creative a life of peace and adventure. Those that fight against their thoughts will constantly feel the drain of indecisiveness and the lack of control. You have the power to think positive things in to your life. Encouraging your self to tell a better story will enable you to create a miraculous life.

I am speaking from the prospective of being at a constant state of deciding if I am going to believe what I currently see or believe what I truly want. We are all works in progress and we all have opportunities to choose better for our selves. So next time you have the opportunity to tell something about your self tell it good so that it can be!!

Who Are Your Listening To?

I Give Thanks for you!

Have you ever had someone in your life that you could not imagine living with out this person? It is said that we all have assigned Angels both supernatural and living and as we go through life we too, will come across someone that may need us to be their Angel. I have been lucky enough in my life to be able to identify my Angels pretty quickly. Although some will come in sheep’s clothing, they normally leave wearing the true mask of the wolf! Someone that has your true interest at heart, this person requires nothing but your presence and then sometimes they don’t’ require that either. Someone that can see past your self imposed critics and announces to the world that they think you are awesome!

There is also the people that are close to us, that may challenge or irritate or come across as preachy all while not practicing what they preach. Understand that although our best interest is their goal, they could very well be projecting their own issues or situation on to us. It’s up to you to determine what you receive in your spirit. I have an awesome friend that always announce when he is going to give advice to someone he say’s that they are welcome to take what they can use from his advice and discard the rest. LOL!! I think this is a very courteous and thoughtful way of showing respect to an individual’s intellect.

We often say things out loud not so much for the other person’s benefit but for our own. I remember having a great conversation with my Sister, and God used my own voice to minster to my situation. Keep your ears open to the words that are being said to you daily, if you hear something more then once, from more then one person, this is a message to you that you may need to take some stock in to what is being delivered to you.

I have learned to take words seriously, the words that come out of my mouth and yours are very powerful. Words are our gift to speak things in to existence this has been given to us from our Creator. Don’t take it lightly. Deposit something positive in your own ears daily, and also make sure you speak something positive over others so that a blessing can bloom in both your lives.

Love, Peace N Much Respect!

Relationships!

2009-01-05T11:17:00.000-08:00

Understanding who you are and what you require will give you the power to create great things in your life! Relationships sometimes can go haywire, communication breaks down, and understanding, love and honesty seems to pack its bag and leave the scene of a dying relationship. “The question is how do you revive or replace the broken down relationship?” Love can be tricky and sometimes it seem like it’s fleeting in our lives. But, we must do the work to make things right, and as in any crime scene an investigation must be done. Find time this year to look back at your past relationships or encounters and go over them with a CSI like attitude.

This process will help you to see the missed signs and or what your part of the break down in the situation was. We are sometimes too quick to place blame or point the finger when indeed; the other person only did to us what we allowed. Take a close look at what went on, and what their expectations were for you, ask your self if either party really lived up to what was being asked of each other. Maybe you don’t have the answers because the other party left with out any explanation.

If this is the case, then examine your self. If a person walks away from you or leave your relationship don’t run after them or rack your brain trying to figure it out. It may be that these people don’t want to hurt you, by giving their real reason for leaving. People will come and go in your life, if someone walks away, don’t try to hold them. A caged animal is not one to mess with, they will find away to break free.

If you are just starting a blooming romance then an interview is in order. The questions asked in this interview should be no different then if you are to employ this person, your heart is precious and should be handled with care. Too often we allow those that are not properly qualified to handle us. Would you really give a 2 year old a fine piece of crystal to play around with? I think not, if this is your situation, I implore you to take heed and not allow the unqualified to do the same with your heart.

Realigning your focus can bring forth great joy and happiness. Spend some time deciding what you really want and require from someone before you proceed down the path of hook ups and relationships. Each time you allow you’re self to connect with someone a part of you will be gifted to that person and a part of them will be gifted to you. Now just like a White Elephant Christmas you may get a trick gift! If any of you know the white Elephant gifting process then you know that someone gets a chance to randomly choose a gift out of all the gifts brought. Ok, it’s your turn to choose so naturally you grab the prettiest gift that may attract your eye with out checking out the others. Once a gift is chosen, once opened you may be very pleased with it, so you hold it up then it is viewable for all to see, if others find your gift attractive they have the right to decide if they want to pick a gift or take the gift you choose. On that note any gift according to the rules can be taken from you by someone else who seems to think it’s a great gift also.

So, if your gift is taken, then once again you must choose another gift. But, this time in your choosing you seem to use a different approach, this time your don’t grab the first gift that has a pretty package, this time you probably will study the gifts long and hard. You look at the wrapping; you may shake it or even smell it before you choose it. Understand that every relationship that is presented to you as a gift must be examined. You may have this gift already or it may be just what you needed. So take some time to see what is being offered to you. If this is a new gift that you have never seen before, then read the instruction manual that comes with it, if it’s a duplicate of what you have had before, make a decision if you need two of what it is or if you have enough of what ever it is.

This gift is familiar; you should know how it works. Remember just because you had it before and it was good, dose not mean that you need the same gift. Maybe the gift no longer fits with in what you want or what your expectations are. We all seek to be loved and give love, but we must first know our selves well enough to know exactly what we want. Once we ask the Creator will oblige our request and desires. Now, sometimes our request is not answered, this could be because of many factors.

Maybe we are not clear in our request or maybe we are not equipped or have shown good stewardship to be able to handle what we have requested of the Universe or the Creator. This will slow our receiving of our request down or move it in to park. We attract what we ask for, we attract who we are. As hard as this is to believe, understand that we have been giving the will to want and request and receive from our Creator. So before you open a gift make a list of what you want check it twice and expect to get what you ask for!

It's All About You for A Change! 2009!

2008-12-11T09:06:00.000-08:00

It's All About You! 2009!
What a Change!

As the season’s change, I can’t help but smile at the shift that is happening in all our lives. Some of us will take notice and embrace the movement of change, while others will allow the miracle to pass them by and not even notice the change in the wind. As we grow older life has a way of tapping each of us on the shoulder and asks the proverbial question of “What Now?” What does life has in store for me now? “Where am I to go, and what is it that I should be doing?”

We all have some type of dreams or aspirations of doing something, some dreams are bigger then others but still they qualify as dreams, wants’, goals, or needs! I often find myself asking the very question to myself and the Universe, asking “When will my breakthrough come to fruition? Is there a certain formula that needs to be in place to make it happen? The answer may or may not come in a form that you can easily understand, but regardless a commitment to continue until it comes is our duty and our only recourse to keep us going. Many people frown on being to optimistic. I live to be optimistic because I have nothing to lose by doing so. You will lose nothing in being positive, and if you truly want something then why not expect to have it and believe it can happen.

The real trick is making what seems unbelievable, believable in your own sights with out always having to physically see it! That’s right I said it… “Believe those things that are not, as though they were!” It’s in the good book, and it’s been experienced by many of our ancestors, the elders knew the trick; they would proudly proclaim the sage saying "We shall overcome!" Oh… did you just think they were talking about race related issues? No. it was more about becoming a whole person, this is a biblical term meaning, if you trust, and overcoming can be applied to your whole life totally!

I believe there is nothing more important then your self, so why is it that we are so hard on our selves? We don’t rest enough; we don’t spend time with the ones we love because of strange and silly reasons. When was the last time that you stopped by a park and took a walk? Will anything matter if we are not here? Life is to be cherished, and lived. I challenge each of you to start making plans for the New Year, embrace the changes that are in the mist and make some changes of your own. Don’t let your present state define who you are. The state your life is in right now, may not be who you will be in the future. Your current existence is determined by what you do this very minute.

It’s time to take matters in to your own hands and live an intentional life. Ok, we may have done some things good or bad; we may have picked up some bad habits along the way or hooked up with the wrong people. But through out all of that, something was gained by the experience. It’s time to let those issues go and start the issue of loving your self and everything that is in your realm. Don’t take your self or others for granted. You are an awesome being, and you have the power to do and be what ever you can dream up. I challenge you to embrace and create some change in your life!!

Never Say Never!

2008-12-01T11:56:00.000-08:00

When I was a little girl, I would always tell my Mother very proudly about how “when I grew up I would not do this or that!” I would declare that I would have a better life and that I would not have to wash dishes and that I would marry a famous man and I would live in a big mansion! My Mother would laugh and always tell me, to never say never because you don’t know what the Creator has in store for your life! As I look back on my life as well as I know you can too, and see those sage words come to fruition.
How many times have you done something or anything which you have personally declared to your self or others that you would never do? These are called self declaration that will sometimes come to haunt you. The plans that you had for your self will often find you in the mist of wondering where all your plans went wrong.

As we go through twist and turns in life, you become more and more docile to changes. We allow our dreams to vanish and we forget about what our declarations were. Some of us have been diligent and successful in keeping promises to our selves and achieve some of the things that we intended for our selves, while others wondered what went wrong. All still having done some things that we said we would not have. We must learn to allow our selves to have expectations and even though our current reality is not what we may want them to be, we must continue to be diligent and persistent in using our imagination and speaking with convictions as boldly as we did when we were children.

As children we are praised for having a vivid imagination, it’s actually more accepted for children to be encouraged to dream and pretend to help them open and expand their mind. But as we grew older we stop imagining the wonderful things of life and started dealing in real life issues. All of the happy endings and happily ever after stories became nothing more then a child hood fairy tales. Well I am here to say that no matter how old you are or how long it may take you to create it, you can still have what you declare. The key is to say it and believe it as though it’s already here! Yes, I am saying imagine your self doing, being and saying what ever it is until it’s yours! My Mother’s words are very true to me, because never is not in God’s vocabulary, just in ours. We spend all our time talking about what we are going to do, rather then doing! Don’t get me wrong, if talking is planning for you then do that, but don’t let talking about never be your stopping point.
If you are going to constantly make declarations with out actions, then be prepared to see never show up in your life.

In the movie “A Conversation with God” the Author says that God wants’ what we want for our selves. To me this means to achieve what we say we want we have to move our selves and our critics out of the way and figure out what we really want for our selves, and just do what we are saying we truly want. If you say you want to dance then just dance, if you want to travel, eat cookies in bed, do it.Yes, all things have concequences, but the road you choose dont always have to be rocky for you. The thing about being a kid is you can close your eyes and pretend and it’s accepted. But if you make a declaration as an adult, you may be afraid of being judged. Take some time alone and write out some desires, instead of a bucket list. lets make a living list, and see how that works out for you!

Preparing for Life's Little Blows!

2008-11-12T12:29:00.000-08:00

Are you prepared to take the blows that life can dish out?
In an instant your whole life can change, it only really takes a moment for change to come. With in that moment your circumstances can become better or worse. I had a fluke accident happen to me the other day! I was sitting in a chair minding my own business and a heavy ceiling tile landed on top of my head! I was dazed and wondered how could I have attracted such a thing? I was in an excellent mood that day things were going my way and I felt great! But out of the blue, I get popped in the head. I thought about how lucky I was to come out with out a bruise and that this situation could have been really bad, as hard as it hit me. But I was fine, came out with out a scratch, just dazed and confused. I would like to think that my Angels were there to cushion the blow.

In our everyday lives we will receive unexpected blows, so be aware of what they are they come as employment changes, births, deaths, fires, loss, gains, health, happiness and sadness. All of these are seasons which come and go in our lives; they are blows to our emotions and our lives regardless of good or bad. But if you rely on the creators promises and know that you are not alone, then you too will have a cushion for your blows. Understand that sometimes things happen to get our attention.

I laugh when I think about how my Mother and Grandmother use to refer to me as hard headed; well I take that label literally. Sometimes you may have something going on in your life that feels like it fell out of the sky, which you were not expecting or aware of that will not only get your attention but it will make you take a seat in shock or excitement or knell down to pray.

I think it’s how you take your blows that determine if you come out bruised or just a little dazed. Boxers are known to cover up when jammed in to corners of the ring, to cushion their blows. As the fighter that is throwing the punches to the cornered fighter, began to tire, the cornered fighter has reserved his strength as he was taking the blows to eventually come out of the corner swinging! So, take cover do the ole rope- a-dope and eventually the blows will lessen and during that time catch your breath and come out swinging!

As I was driving worrying about if I was going to have a knot on my head the next day, I realized that this was just enough force to get my attention. This let me know that each moment is to be lived not to be waiting for something to happen to me, but to start making things happen in my life. I always say a little chant every morning I say “Something good is going to happen to me today” It did, I woke up!

What's Going On In Your Life?

2008-11-06T07:24:00.000-08:00

What are you feeling?

As many times as I write about the coming of change, it still resonates in my mind that what is going on in our lives at this moment is what we are thinking and feeling about daily. If you take an internal inventory of what your (self) conversation is about, then there you will find the key to what your life is saying about and to you this very moment.

I would always hear my Grand father talk about the measure of a man is by how well he kept his word. In my Grandparents time a person’s ability to be truthful and deliver on what they promised was the measure of that person’s character. It determined if they were allowed in to your inner circle. Too many of us are allowing people in to our inner circles with out even knowing if this person is for our good or if they are someone trying to attain something for their own use.

I was told from one of my college professors that if you are asked a question by someone you must learn to ask why they are asking you the question. This is how a person can trick or trip you in to situations, problems or bait you in to doing something you may not want to do. I think back of how things were in the day of our parents and Grand Parents people were not as free and trusting unless you were known by someone they had enough experience to examine a person closely to determine where they fit in and if they were friend or foe. In my family when ever you would meet someone new, the first question that was asked is “Where you from and who are your people?

As a child I would often hear the phrase; “They are from good people.” Back then your linage was your calling card to respect or allowed you acceptance in to places you could not normally go on your own. I think everyone comes for something, sometimes friendship, love, intimacy, admiration, companionship or support. The key is what you allow them to take. Be very cautious of your words, they are worth more then you will ever know. A person can take a statement that you could easily have said jokingly or seriously and cause a chain of events that you might not have been anticipating. Also listen closely to the words that are coming out of other people mouths as well as your own! Each word creates a reality which can be good or bad it’s your choice. The Creator gave us gifts of great magnitude, some of us will use them to gain success, and some will only be left holding on to dreams.

There are thousands of self help books that talk about Love, and learning that everything wants and deserve love. This must be applied to your self first, learning to love you mean applying the same theory as if you were courting someone. Take you to dinner, take you to the movies, spend sometime with your self, by your self and figure out what you really want. Once you find that self love, then everything around you will began to blossom.
I know that we single people are always by our selves, but we spend so much time being distracted, and feeling sorry for our selves or confused that we really don’t spend any quality time alone. We talk our selves out of any true happy feelings that we could allow our selves to have by being critical and trying to force our selves to measure up to our own disillusion status of what making it really is.

It’s time to get real with our selves, take off the band aid and allow the scar to heal on its own. I am not judging any one or being selfish, we all of service to others at some time or the other in our lives. But everything starts with us, and how we conduct our selves and our lives. Don’t give up, there is hope.

How To Get Better Results In Life!

2008-10-27T06:58:00.000-07:00

What’s wrong?

Bills are due, car won’t start and you are not talking to most of your family. You have been searching for the right job, right situation or break that will bring your dreams to fruition. As far as you can believe things just don’t seem to jive for you, this leaves your spirit broken and wondering if the Universe has a hold stamped on your star. Well I am here to tell you that there is hope! Sometimes we all go through a period of waiting and wanting. This period often feels over whelming and hopeless, the key to changing your situation is to keep your faith and change the way you see your situation. Ok, you lost your job, well maybe the Creator want your time free so that you can be blessed with something amazing! Maybe your car broke down, and you don’t have money to fix it or buy a new one. Well, maybe if you focus on a new vehicle or a new way around you will receive something remarkable to help you with your current situation. Every negative is not meant for your bad.

I know that it is very hard to be optimistic in the face of problems and tragedy but, what does it hurt or cost to change your thoughts to get something different? Sometimes out of the worst situation comes something beautiful and much better then before. Your fortitude to be strong, during adversity is a strengthen exercise to build up your faith so that you can produce more. It’s so easy for us to feel sorry for our selves or to dwell on the negative. But, understand that it takes a minute to change your mind and produce something better.

I have heard some people say that they stay in bad situations, jobs or relationships, because something is better then nothing. Well, if this is your stance then realize that you are not allowing your self to have something better. My Grandmother uses to say closed hands will never receive. I think that also apply to having a closed heart and mind! Allow your self to have something better by letting go of the old and embracing the faith that something new can and will come if you expect it.

Life will throw us all kinds of balls, straight, curved or even foul balls in the game of life, but if we stay in the game and have expectations of winning, we can actually win it.
Example: Hurricane Ike caused a lot of devastation and caused many to lose their homes, but to the people that were already destitute and homeless they benefited from the storm by the attention being brought to those that were not destitute it brought shelter for those who already did not have any help! I say this to say that sometimes a storm will come to shift things and some good can come from bad. I know this is not the case in some instances where life was taken. But each of us has a story and a life line and what ever the reason is the Creator has it figured out. Be mindful of your thoughts and don’t be so quick to give up! Believe and you can receive.

You Have The Power!

2008-10-23T06:41:00.000-07:00

We are all well equipped with everything we need to get what we want. But, some of us are hesitant or fearful of using the God giving gifts that you have been given to have what you want. Some of us are fearful of asking for what we want or feel that others seem to have it easier. Some of us choose to use others to get what we want, as though it’s easier if someone else just give to you what you want instead of you extending you’re self to achieve it. We are all linked to one another in some shape or form and we all posses the power to have!

Some of us worry about every little detail about things, situations and people, working our selves up in to frenzy, as though we have no control over what happens in our lives. Some of can’t make a decision unless we pass it by others first. We all have stages of growth that we will go through, some faster then others, but the discovery is the same. That we as a people have a choice to live well or live below our potential.

As much physical work that a person do daily to achieve their goals a large amount of mental work needs to be equally done. Learning to take quiet moments to imagine, focus and think about what you want is as important as the doing part of any situation.

My Grandmother and many elders would often say, “Before you make a decision, you must quiet your self and pray and talk to God about your decision”. This process is very accurate, too many of us are running around in circles thinking we are doing something, and sadly we are just spinning our wheels. We don’t take the time to think through our decisions or focus our thoughts, on what we truly want and need, before we are doing something to try and get what we say we want, only to find its not what we truly wanted later.

Focus, think, imagine, pray, consult the Creator, imagine your self with it and act as if you deserve it, consult only those that are of your true council and sometimes only consult the Creator. Walk and talk like you already have it and ask your self do I really want it and once I get it how will it benefit me or others? Take time to start trusting your self, and believing in your own good.

Example: of the Law of Attraction working. I had been imagining to myself about me and a friend going away to an exclusive spa, I imagined as though we were making the plans and how it would be. Surprisingly when I checked my mail yesterday afternoon there was a flyer in the mail to an exclusive spa! I did not add myself to any list and I did not seek out a spa. I only imagined it and it came to my attention. Now, looking at the prices, I should have imagined a free invitation! LOL! But, this is just an example as to how this process works. This situation was the Universe letting me know, that it heard me and that the process of the Law of Attraction is working! Be grateful. Slow down, dream big, and detach your need for others to approve your needs, trust the Creator and your self to do right by you! Be grateful of the signs from the Universe that let you know it hear all your request!

Create Something Good In Your Life! :)

2008-10-22T07:46:00.000-07:00

I know it’s very hard to believe but, we have more control over our lives then we care to phantom. It’s a lot easier to deal with the fact that something is happening to you that is not of your control, then to think that you could have possibly attracted the out come that is before you. I did a quick personal experiment, for two months I said the affirmation that “I am prosperous, and something wonderful is going to happen to me above my wildest dreams!” To my surprise awesome things has been happening everyday, it might be a great parking spot or an unexpected raise, or just a call from someone that I had been wanting to hear from. I did not put any limits as to what I wanted to attract, but I was specific in asking for something that I would personally think was awesome.

In this process I did notice that my mood was great! I felt as if something awesome would happen even if at the time nothing was going on. The key to this whole process is about believing what the physical eyes can’t see, but believing and feeling as if it was right in front of you. It’s stated in the bible that if I speak it, it can come to fruition. This is called an activation of faith. We often use our faith in God’s word when things are out of control in our lives, Why, not use it everyday to maintain a happy balance.

There are people that you may come across that seem to have the gift to produce miraculous things in their lives. “Could it be that they are a part of an elite group that the Creator has granted special favors for in their lives?” I personally don’t’ think so, I do think they are a part of an elite group, but it’s the group of individuals that see the good in everything. It’s the person that say’s why not me, and believe in the infinite power that they can have what they focus on and believe in.

This is not a new concept; if you read the bible and listen to the word closely you will hear it stated over and over again that you can have your hearts desire if you ask.
So many of us are afraid to allow our selves to dream and imagine our own good. It does not matter your age, size, or natural origin, you can have, what ever you want if you can imagine your self having it, then you can create it. I know a lot of you are saying to your self, it’s not that easy. Well, how do you know if you don’t try? The key is to be persistent in the face of adversity.

Let’s do an experiment, today I want you to focus on getting something small, maybe a cup of coffee a free lunch or maybe even a good golf tee! But take your time and say to your self all day “I am prosperous and something good is going to happen to me today!” Say it when you first get up, say it in the shower, say it on the way to work! Say it when you are at your desk! Make a song out of it! What can it hurt to try to make life better, this is simple, this process dose not cost a cent, and I promise it will make you feel fantastic, you will find your self happy for no reason at all. There is something grand about knowing something that no one else knows, that something awesome is about to happen to you and you are excited about it! Be excited like you just won the lottery and no one else knows! I bet that would change your out look and thoughts! Write it on a yellow sticky so you can see it and let the Universe deliver your prize to you! Let me know what you have manifested, send me a note!
Love, Peace N much Respect!

The Smell of Change is In The Air!

2008-10-20T09:12:00.000-07:00

Lately there has been a lot of talk about making changes and getting rid of the same old way or operating our lives. There is an air of transition that is a buzz in society. The upcoming election has been catalysts of the slogan “Change” people want something different from what they have been doing. Do you find your self wanting more? Maybe the relationships that you once had no longer serve you, maybe your personal appearance no longer make you feel appealing. As we come in to our own as adults, our health needs change, our personal development adapts to our environment and we seek for that something better.

I have a very close friend that take a personal inventory of his life list every year. He eliminates people, things and situations that no longer enhance his life yearly. Sometimes that may mean giving up the current way you operate your life, a new job, cleaning out clutter, changing residence, or moving out of the state you currently live in. Maybe you have a group of individuals that you associate with or discuss your inner most thoughts with, and they no longer spark that energy to make you want to do better. I was watching Bishop TD. Jakes on television the other day and he was doing a series of enlightenment about taking inventory and adjusting the people in your life and amending how you do things. I have always been one to have long relationships sometimes staying in situations that were of no good to my being. But, because I was taught loyalty to family and friends I stayed in things that were not to my benefit, I felt that I owed the relationship a chance to change. So I continued to operate in the same old way only to allow the other person to get tired and walk away.

To be able to optimize our lives we must be adaptable to change, and learn to not hold on to things situations and people that no longer serve us. Being stubborn and comfortable will not allow us to grow, do and have more. Fear prevents us from doing some of the things we often think would enhance our lives but, may feel uncomfortable doing. There is a balance that we gain with in our selves to understand, that something new is just that new. Not to say that new is often times always better, but you will know if new is what you need. Your soul will call out for it; we all have an internal meter with in us, which says I need something different than what I am doing. Sometimes you have to trick your self in to making a change, acting as if you are already there, in the place you want to be in can help you get there faster, imagining you being at the level that you can’t see right now above your current situation and watch things began to unfold.

Many people are astonished at the current Presidential race, the thought of history being made in our life time of a man of color running for President of the United States and possibly winning and being accepted by millions! This is change in its greatest example. But understand that this action can cause a greater reaction of a nation of people understanding their true worth. Take this time in history as an indication that changes can and will happen, but it starts with our selves. See more of your self then what you have been told that you can do. At any age a life can be recreated and enhanced. So understand to be more you have to expect more of your self. Find your independence not just with this election but with your own life and vote for your self to be a success!

Are You Doing What Really Need to Be Done?

2008-10-10T12:19:00.000-07:00

Today was an eye opening day, the epiphany came when I arrived at work this morning. My Co-workers were all standing out side the building. I thought maybe there was an early fire drill or something happening with the building. As I approached one of my Co-workers they informed me that the power was out on some floors and that the elevators were not working and the building Manager did not want us walking up 6 or 7 flights of stairs in the dark. I thought to myself ok, go with the flow so, a few of us went next door to the small deli that we often frequent until some type of repair was made for us to go in to the building. Well an hour and a half had passed and they were able to get power on the top two floors which is 6 and 7. Naturally 6 was my floor, but the only catch was that we had to take the stairs, lighted by security officers with flash lights to guides us, because the elevators were still not working properly.

Well, here I am with my laptop bag, lunch bag and my purse, I am thinking to myself do I really want to go to work that bad that I would walk up 6 flights of stairs. (Stop Laughing!)Then I thought oh… I have been working out for the past two weeks, doing 3 -4 miles on my treadmill. I felt confident that I could get up those stairs with out much problems, besides, I was in the presence of my Co-workers who did not hesitate taking the stairs so I was not about to be left behind as the unfit whiner. LOL.

I walked pretty gracefully up the first three flights, but something happen as I approached the fourth flight, my breathing got heavy and my legs all of sudden got tired. I started to drag by this time, and thought to myself “why is this so hard?” I work out every darn day; I should be conditioned to be able to do this. As I walked up to five I was most faint, huffing and puffing like I was a smoker!! Then it dawned on me I am conditioned for walking, but the change of the incline was different, this was something different that my body was not use to. I actually got a better work out going up those flight of stairs in a short time, then the 90 mins it take me to walk 3 miles on the treadmill! By the time I got to my office, I was aware that we often are doing things in our routine that we think are effective in our lives or are of some type of sacrifice to find out later that if we tried something different or new we just might get better results faster then following the same routine!

You may get up ever morning do your affirmations, and pray the same prayer, do the same work out routine, only to get the same results every day. Sometimes we need a jolt of something different. “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expects to receive something different to happen from that action. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with routine, if you buy a lottery ticket every Friday, you are telling the Universe that yes! I want to win. But maybe a change in your routine would stimulate some energy in to your situation. Maybe if you switched up and played on Friday, it might send a message to Universe that I am changing my energy around and I am ready for something different! Hahahahahaha!

Gratitude: What Love Language Do You Speak?

2008-10-08T07:30:00.000-07:00

What is your love language saying about you?

Looking back when you were just a toddler learning to walk, our Parents, Grandparents and others around us, made it their job to try and guide us in to society, by teaching us how to speak and how to walk. One of the important words other then Mama and Daddy was (thank you). Gratitude is an important feeling for Law of attraction to work. When we speak of being grateful and use our words to express the feelings, we are simultaneously sending out a message to the Universe that generates a positive vibration of the feeling. This vibration will seek out a matching vibration and help us manifest something physical that will make us feel just as wonderful as being grateful.

Gratitude is based on love and how you show your love and respect for people, situations or things. This process is called your love language. Although it is noted that we all have different ways of showing our love language, we all are seeking the same result of showing our gratitude by demonstrating loving things to one another. Some of us speak in silence feeling that our actions are louder then words, we may have respect and love for a person, only to hope that they can see our intent through our actions. But sadly to say this process often falls short of being appreciated because we miss the chance to gain a real connection through communication.

In this case Men often find them selves in this category because of the need to maintain that poker face at all time. Your voice and words are powerful tools that so many of us fail to use. Saying thank you is more then just a by line after someone do something for you. Saying thank you out loud is a way of honoring a person with respect. It is stated in the Bible that our Creator loves the sound and act of Gratitude, giving thanks allows us to have blessings bestowed upon us. So why is it so hard to give thanks openly to our peers and our love ones?

The language of touch or giving is all important in the act of showing gratitude and love. But learning to use your voice to glorify others is a power that is truly under utilized. If I do something nice for you and you give me a hug or a kiss or buy me flowers or cut my yard or buy me a card, yes, these are all nice gestures of gratitude and greatly appreciated of being reciprocal. But what would happen if you simply say thank you. Well the first reaction would be the Universe would hear your gratitude, then maybe in conjunction to the other things you do, the act of speaking could set off a vibration that would stir up love, maybe a new relationship, maybe a renewed relationship and many other blessings that would take very little to generate.

Don’t get me wrong, action is awesome when you are speaking love, but speaking intent and showing gratitude is very powerful. Try it, this process of speaking phrases of gratitude and intent are amazing, try saying “Thank you, I apologize, I care, I appreciate you, I need you, Please forgive me, or even Excuse me, using these phrases can bring about great change. Yes, these are all words we were taught but are often taken for granted. Think of how many relationship that could have been saved or enlightened by using these simple words that we were taught as toddlers. To be different you have to do something different, start using your voice and see how different and wonderful life can be!!

I love you, Thank You!

What Do You Want To Happen?

2008-10-07T14:03:00.000-07:00

There are some days when you will feel like you are being bombarded with everything out of Pandora’s mischievous box! So, you are venting left and right to as many people that will listen including talking to your self about “Why is this or that is happening?”.

Yes, unfortunately this type of day is more of the norm then unusual for some. I once was in the mist of one of those interesting days, and was venting to one of my highly intelligent metaphysical friends about the happenings of the rough day, when she politely asked me “Well Gia, if you had your way, what would you want to happen instead of what did happen?” I was stunned at first, but the question stuck in my head! What would I have changed about my day? That questioned helped me to reverse my thoughts and focus from what I experienced, to what I wanted to experience.

When ever something happens of dislike in your life or is happening, stop before you complain and ask your self the question of “What do I want?” Talk about what you do want instead. Remember what you focus on continues, good or bad, so why not make it positive. The power is in your thoughts and what you speak of in your own life.
I know that there are tragedy’s that happen, and there are some senseless situations and things, which can make you wonder if there is a higher being, and question why something bad would be allowed to happen to good people. Understand that we don’t have all the answers, but if you can do something as small as change your thoughts to create good things, why not do it?

Affirmation: Something awesome, for my good is happening in my life today!!

What Is Your Reality?

2008-10-03T06:39:00.000-07:00

What is your Reality?

Today’s messed up economy is bombarding the nation with the thought of lack. The negative talk and thoughts that are constantly being announced by the media and the water cooler talk of gloom and doom are running rampant! But, “exactly what should we believe?” There are some that say hoard, hide and prepare. While others say pray, believe have faith and speak life over your situation. If I had to choose, I would say that I choose to believe that everything that is happening before me and around me is design to bring me good. Actually this is the affirmation that my daughter and I recite every morning. The Pastor of my church told the congregation a year ago, that the present day situation was going to be upon us, and here it is. His instruction was to use our faith, thought and our belief and to know that the Creator has given us the power to verbally speak life in to any dead situation.

The Law of Attraction says speak what you feel to be positive for your out come to any situation, and place your thoughts on what you do want instead of placing your focus on what you don’t want. Wake up and start making a way for your self and your family. There is not a safety net anymore that will be available for many, i.e. Retirement plans, Social Security, Stock investments etc. We are now down to the grass roots of what is true for our selves and out house holds. Don’t get me wrong, just saying a few affirmations every day may or may not bring about the change you need. But, the process of saying is a force of energy that will create something!

Any movement of energy has to go some where, so instead of sitting and waiting make movement on your own behalf. Speak as the Creator has taught us to so that you can move mountains in your situation. Any velocity of matter has the ability over time to transform into something, why not focus your energy on a better out come. I know that we are all doing the best that we can in light of everything that is happening around us. But know that you have more power then you know. As stated in the movie “The Secret” we have the power to change any situation, by changing our very own thoughts.

“You can have what it is you want, or you can have your reasons for not having it.”—Werner Erhard

What Are You Creating?

2008-10-02T09:13:00.000-07:00

Analyzing Your Situation.

We are all under the same impression that something out side of our selves is causing us problems or pain in our lives. The power that created us, has given us everything to create the kind of life that we want and talk about. What you are creating currently is linked to your inner belief, so if you are in lack, then there is a part of you that believe in lack. If you are in a situation where love is an issue, then having mutliple partners may distract you, from the pain for a moment,but try working on self love to comfort you. Having someone there is good for the lonliness, but it does not mask the real issue. Prosperity,love and everything that is currently in your life are all reflections of what you truly believe about your self.

Everything in our lives is a reflection of our inner selves. It’s a thought about what you believe about your self and what you fell you deserve in your life. Have you ever declared out loud to others “I am going to be a Millionaire!” and although you said it with confidence, something inside of you did not feel it to be true. So, in most cases people laugh or they look at you strange, or they even spoke in doubt about your comment, which may have angered or upset you! But the lesson here is people are only mirroring your own inner belief!

The key is being real with your self, and looking in your life to see exactly what you are creating. We must get real and understand that what we really think is what we are creating in our own lives. Learning to support our selves is the first part of healing the neglect, that we have so taken our selves through. All of the emotions and issues that are housed in our inner being need to be aired out and release so that we can move forward and start living our lives fully.

A lot of the responsibility of creating our lives and situations is truly on our shoulders and many of us don’t care to hear that we are the cause of some of the situations. But as far fetched as this process sounds it is truly up to us what we choose to have or what we feel we deserve. Take some time and write out in your journal or just a piece of paper what it is you feel you deserve! If you have any discomfort or disbelief about anything on your list, then that is exactly what you need to be working on! That discomfort or situation you feel stuck in, is your basic lesson or sore spot that need to be cleaned up and healed. This is the area where your energy could be getting stuck. Let your mind go over the various relationships in your life and forgive the ones that you feel caused hurt. Be grateful and give everything love and watch your life bloom!

Affirmation:I Love & Approve of Myself!

2008-09-26T10:15:00.000-07:00

Do On To Others!

Are you having strange issues with people? Does someone owe you money and wont pay you back? Did someone hurt your feelings or even lied or cheated on you? Are you having issues at your job, with communications or with someone close? “You get what you give!” That sage old adage ring in my ear to this day, my Mother and Grandmother would always have those little sayings, when news would come around, of someone getting their just desert! They would quote the saying from the bible that “You reap what you have sowed” Could it be that some people have misused, misdirected and hurt people by their actions, while others are just victims of circumstance?

The rule of the Law of Attraction is that you give off a vibration, to the Universe and that vibration attracts things, people and situations to your life that match the vibration that you are sending out. So for example, if I told a lie, then eventually I am going to get lied too which does not seem far from what the bible and my Mother and Grandmother would say. I am saying this to say, before you judge a situation or person, stop and take a moment to analyze your self and ask the question why is this happening, and why am I attracting this to me at this time. Was there something in your thoughts that may have brought the situation on?

If you have seen the movie “The Secret” there is a scene where a homosexual man was constantly harassed about being Gay. He would get accosted on the streets and at work and it seem that every where he went, someone was bothering him about being Gay. Finally the guy went to see one of the counselors from the Secret and told them his situation. The first thing the counselor suggested was for the guy to clear his mind and stop thinking about what others thought of him. He suggested that the guy imagined in his mind that people accepted him and finally he told him that he needed to learn to accept his self.

Learning to accept your self is the key to a lot of external and internal issues that we face daily. Have you ever had a spot on your clothes, a run in your stockings or a pimple that you thought was humongous? You would walk around like you had a bolder hanging from your neck and every time someone would speak to you, you felt like they were looking right at the trouble spot? Most of us, would probably have an internal conversation saying “Oh my gosh, I wonder if they notice it?” Even though the person speaking to you may never have noticed it, you would eventually bring up the issue and all the while making up excuses as to why its there!! LOL

What about when someone give you a compliment, most people counter act the compliment with something negative, as thou they don’t deserve the compliment!
“My what a nice shirt or dress, you wear it well” then you reply by saying "Oh, this old thing, I just threw something on, or I am surprised it still fit!" All of these sayings are discounting your self and the compliment. You may not realize but what you say about your self matters more then what someone else thinks or says about you. So work toward thinking and talking less about what others have to say, and pay attention to what you are thinking and saying about your self.

Write it Down!

2008-09-25T07:05:00.000-07:00

Putting Your Intent In Writing!

Many Journalist, Reporters, Educators and Scholars know that the power of the pen is a magnificent tool. The freedom to express your thoughts and words on paper or out loud is more then a gift that we are all blessed with. By expressing your intent through words and thought you are empowering your vibrations to attract the very thing that you think, write about, speak of or contemplate to actually materialize. I am in the process of reading a book called “Write It Down, Make it Happen” the author Henriette Ann Klauser writes about instances where ordinary individuals wrote down their desires and watched them materialize. The process of using our thoughts and words are far more valuable then most of us know.

Have you ever experienced being around someone that was always negative? no matter what was going on this person found the negative in it. Most people are generally optimistic, but some are afraid to allow them selves to think positive, because of past disappointments or hurts. It’s like being married multiple times, do you give up on love just because the first, second or third marriage did not work. A negative person would harp on the fact that there was a failure in the marriage, but a positive person would see the fact that you got a chance to have three loves in your life, where some has never had one.

One of the suggestions in the book is to write down your intentions as though they are already in progress and you are seeing it unfold in your minds eye. One character from the book, wanted to be happily married to her soul mate, so she proceeded to write letters to her true love as though he already existed in her life. She wrote out specifics of things they would say and do and how they would be together. Needless to say, her love came just as in the letters she wrote to him before he existed in her life. If this can happen with a person, why not apply this process to other portions of things in your life?

Purchase a small tablet that you can carry around with you, and jot down periodically things that you think of through out the day. Make list of things that you would want to have or purchase. Be very specific; ask your self “If I had the money right now, what would I buy?” If you had the love of your life, what would you say to that person? If you were living in your dream home, “What would if look like and where would it be located?” Nothing is too far away or too expensive or too big for you tot attract.

If you have a dream career, then what harm would it do, to write out what you would be doing and enjoying while doing that career. We spend millions on how to get rich quick books, classes, and things hoping to get us where we want to be. But, here is tool that cost you nothing more then a pen and some thing to write on. Sometimes the easiest remedy to a problem is in our reach, but we over look it because we expect the solution to be hard. Write it down and make it happen people! Send me your thoughts, let me know what you think of the blog and these process, we all have something to contribute to our growth. Looking forward to hearing from all of you!

Was Ike The Creators Fire Drill?

2008-09-23T13:33:00.000-07:00

Storms, Hurricanes and Tornados, are known to destroy, dismantle or change the presence of nature, people and places. We have all experienced first hand the change that a storm system can bring. Many of us have had to make due with our bare necessities, electricity was out, some places water and food was scarce, and oh my goodness there was no television talking at us in our lives. There was no fast food and the kids had to improvise and play out side! Some families and neighbors had to bunk together for weeks at a time. Some had to learn to gather in peace, putting aside all differences, because this was a time of disaster. Homes were torn up and destroyed in all parts of the city, the lines of class between societies was no longer an issue for that moment, we all were doing the same thing, sheltering from the storm!

In the Metaphysical world it is known that storms and water come to bring change, water cleanses and wind move things. Nature has a way of quietly reminding us that we are not in control. So many of us have experienced this storm in different ways, some have suffered loss and some have experienced gain. The gain of slowing down and realizing that life is more then just a job; oddly enough the things that were so important to us became unavailable. So many of us were forced to slow down and take a view of our daily routine. We could not go to work due to the results of the Hurricane, for some this probably was the first time they had a distinct reason to stay at home for a change.

Our children were displaced because the schools were closed; this forced us to spend time with our own kids instead of child care or the school system taking care of them for 8 hrs. We had to live with out distractions and noise, for some we actually sat out side for a change. We were forced to talk to each other, our neighbors, spouses our family and friends were all around and we had to make due, and the funny part is that we have homes that we rush to work to pay for that some of us very seldom slow down to enjoy. Yes, we had to stay our selves at home!

This process was very difficult for some, the feeling of being restless and antsy over took some of our spirits. The slow down was not easily accepted, although we are adaptable beings and can maneuver in most situations; some found it hard to change their routine. The jobs we say we hate going to, all of sudden became important for us to go to. The food in our fridge that we take for granted, all of a sudden became important. Water that we act like we hate to drink became precious as money or gold. Some learned to pray for the first time in fear of destruction. I wonder if this was God’s way of having a fire drill to alert us of what life would be like if none of these things that we so blatantly take for granted no longer existed.

It’s time for an awakening, take a look around you and understand that as precious as life is, it can easily be taken away or changed in an instance. Get your self and your family in some type of order. Make amends where it is needed and make away, where there is none. Save what you have for that stormy day, and share what you do have, with others so that it can multiply by your kindness. Remember to educate your self from the past, I cautioned myself during the storm, to stay positive and know that I am not a victim of the enemy’s circumstance! We had to do like they did in Egypt when Moses cautioned Pharos to set the slaves free. Put the lambs’ blood over your door and wait and pray until it all passed over. Yes, this was devastating to so many of us, but out of this a change has come, what ever the change is, recognize it for something bigger then what it seems.

Take A Look In The Mirror!

2008-09-10T06:12:00.000-07:00

What is your refelction saying about you?

In your life time, you will meet a whole host of people, personalities and characters.The path of life can be interesting; with in this path there will be an Alice in Wonderland of characters, which are all trying to play a part in your script. God the Creator is the writer of your script, and you are the Producer in this production called your life. The question is, will you do a casting call for certain type of people that are in your life, or will you allow them to wonder in and just show up?

Understand that we control more then we know, by the use of our subconscious mind.
So, if you have doubters all around you, then somehow you doubt your self deep in your spirit. If you have supportive people in your cast, then you are being supportive of your self. Know that we are all mirrors of each other, here to reflect our true selves. Have you ever had a situation with someone that you just could not stand? This person got on your last nerves, and seemed totally opposite of someone you would have in your inner circle. The Law of Attraction says that this person is doing a guest appearance in your life to have you take a good look at your self. The reflection that this person is giving off may not be pleasant or acceptable to you, but if the process is correct it is a part of you that you need to become aware of.

Communication with the people that are staring in your life is good, it will allow you to ask questions like “How do you see me?” “Do I act like this or that?’ “If you could change three things about me, what would you change?” these questions will give you insight to the reflection that you are giving off. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that someone else’s opinion about you, should always take residence in you life. I am saying that we all need to take a close look, at who is staring in the roles in our life, and what is their character saying about the mirror that we are looking in to. Just as Alice in Wonderland had to look through the looking glass, we have our own magical mirror we need to check out.

We are so blessed that we have the power to create a wonderful life or a moderate life, the way you live and who you are is according to your own will. So take some inventory and make the needed adjustments. Nothing outside of your self can control you with out you allowing or giving permission for it to do so. God has given us all free will, so use your power for your own good.
Love, Peace N Much Respect!

Special Message!

2008-09-08T08:15:00.000-07:00

Waiting For Your Ship To Come In?

There is an old saying, “Waiting for My Ship to come in” meaning waiting for your goodness, your big chance or waiting for that miracle to roll in to your life, so that you can unload all your goodness from the sea of the Universe. Well, in open waters that ship may come in as scheduled, or it may be a long waiting period. As you place your order to the Universe and say your affirmations daily, you may find the wait a little lengthy. You could find yourself diligently waiting for that ship to appear.

But as in watching boiling water, it may seem to take forever. The more you watch the longer it seems to take! Understand that affirmations are used to motivate and cultivate a feeling with in your spirit to make things happen. As you recite daily affirmations you are speaking things in to existence, but action is still required on your part. It’s the combination of speaking and acting as if the very thing you want is already in motion or here before you. You will never win a Grammy if you never sing; you will never become a dancer if you never dance! Understand that an effort is needed, regardless of how successful you are right now; there is some type of action that is needed on your part to show the Universe that you are indeed, having expectations and making motion toward your ship.

Action could be starting that book, script, business plan, or actually talking to people to find that mate or love of your life that you have been wanting. Sometimes the lack of action or trying on your part is the true hindrance that causes a stall in your ship making it to the dock. “I have tried everything” many of you are saying, but there is always something that blocks me! Well, I do understand that, but just maybe if you try one more time, the test of your will, can create the very thing you want. Nothing is deemed to be easy; sometimes the waves are rocky and create a stall in your ship docking. The proper thing to do is ride the wave in stead of fighting against it. If you are hydroplaning in a rain storm, you are told to turn our wheel in the direction of where you are sliding to. So don’t fight against the current. Also if your ship is no where in sight, leaving the dock send out a seeking boat and find out where your ship is! Lol

Do You Know Exactly What You Want?

2008-09-08T07:21:00.000-07:00

I often find myself wandering through new model homes; I have a passion for beautiful homes, as a kid I would cut out pictures of beautiful homes out of the real estate section of the local news paper and paste them in a scrap book. But little did I know that I was already creating my very first vision board at a very young age. I like to look at different homes and see the different lay outs and how they are decorated. I sometimes take pictures and incorporate the ideas in to my current home. Although I have a vast knowledge of the Law of attraction, home looking, finding your vision and buying, I experienced something totally different this weekend.

A friend and I were hanging out this weekend, and decided to stop by a couple of model homes to take a look. I though oh, this will be fun, since we are both very metaphysical and understand how the Law of Attraction works. We both were open to let our mind wonder and take in the experience. I have visited these homes maybe a total of three times and so I figured oh, I can give him the grand tour and show him the things that I found interesting about the homes. Well, to my surprise as we entered the home, my friend started pointing out things that he found a little awkward about the spaces, and he interjected ideas of how he would change the space. I was a little stunned at first, because I never really stopped to think about exactly what I wanted! I never thought about I could actually change the appearance of what I was seeing, by taking the time to really imagine my self in the home.

The morale of today’s blog is, look with an objective eye, not only do you seek to understand what you want to request from the Universe, but look at your request as though it was already yours, or as if you had the cash and ready to purchase. An epiphany came over me in that instance as I was listening to my friend dissect the space as it was his own, and I started really putting myself in the space and found that some of the things that I thought were so wonderful about the house, really was not conducive to the way I wanted to live.

Always keep you mind and ears open to the messages that the Universe is sending you. If I would have never had the opportunity to spend time with someone with an objective eye, I would have not had a chance to realize that I was not truly asking for what I want!
If you asks the Universe for something, try to be specific, what color, what style, what does it need to look like for you? If you have problems figuring this out then go look, test drive and take some objective friends with you to spark conversations to get you to thinking about what is it you really want. I am lucky because I have people around me that are very precise in having what they truly want.

So, if you fancy a new car, go test drive it, and then maybe with a friend and if you want that new out fit, go try it on! There is nothing in the world that says that you can’t go visit the thing you want by your self, but by taking along a friend, you get a different perspective. Take someone that knows you and your heart, this way they can be objective and open to your highest good. I have a group of people I call my “Mastermind Group” These are very intelligent people that I respect and love, be very careful of those that you induct in to this group, make sure that they have your highest good in their intentions and also make sure that they are not (crab) like. (lol) Meaning they do not want you to excel out of the bucket before them, so they will pull you back. So, remember take the time to figure out what you truly want, and make sure you know what It looks like in detail before you ask for it!!

I Want That!!

2008-09-05T10:30:00.001-07:00

I want that! I want that!!

Think back to when you were six and seven yrs old! Do you remember being perched in front of the television on Saturday mornings, waiting for the commercials and calling dibs on what ever new toy or thing you thought you wanted? “I want that!” we would say, trying to be the first to claim what ever it was as ours, and to out talk each other. The object of this process was that who ever called it first, had the imaginary rights to what ever it was that was on the commercial.

Do you find your self still calling those things that you want? House, Car, Plasma, Money, Spouse? All of these things are attainable and in your reach, if only you could call them out. Life has a way of slowing us down and taking away the joy of our imagination. Children are so free and open to allowing goodness, fun and luck to come their way. They don’t just say no to things, but, they say yes to what they want.
Allow your self to dream and don’t worry about how silly it is, be bold tell somebody “I want that!”

Children never think that anything is impossible until and adult tell them that it can’t be done! I am not saying that being practical or logical is a bad thing, but when you have allowed life to stifle your imagination, and you no longer can look at something and say “I want that!” then you are well on your way to a life of plain and not a life of fulfilled dreams. I play a game with my daughter daily, where we give our selves a certain amount of money and we talk about what we are going to buy with that amount. We don’t limit our selves to six figures we dream big! Why not? We have nothing to lose but hope. Allow your self to look at the catalogs, books, sale ads. As a matter of fact get you a big cardboard poster and cut some things out and post it up so you can see it everyday!! This is called a vision board. Go look at that model home and understand that your hearts desire is truly worth something to the creator. Yes, it might seem hopeless or feel like its impossible but understand that you have been given the divine rights to have what you want!

Don’t give up on your goals and achievements, know that if you can think it you can do it. I am not trying to sound like a poster child for hope and faith, but know that by doing your daily mind imagination exercises you are planting a seed to reap a harvest above your dreams.

Love, Peace N Much Respect!

Does it Line Up?

2008-09-04T06:31:00.000-07:00

Once a sentence comes out of your mouth, does the words you hear your self saying line up with your vision and intent? Talking and the use of speech, is one of our many powers that the Creator has bestowed upon us. I sometimes think about what God was thinking when he gave us certain gifts, such as talking, listening, and feelings. All of these gifts are suppose to aid and complement us in our walk through life. But as in anything these gifts can also be used as a hindrance to goals if not used properly.

Each time we speak in terms of lack or discord, even when just sharing the experience with someone else, unknowing to our selves, we are truly opening our selves up to the Universe bringing more of what we speaking of to our lives. I do understand that this process is very hard to digest, considering we have become so unconscious to the words that come from our lips. Talking is such a natural process that we often pay very little attention to what is coming out of our mouths.

I caught my self just a couple of days ago chatting, with my Sister on the phone and I very frankly heard myself, say that something was killing me! Now, I truly know better then to have allowed myself to say this! Although this is a slang phrase that does not signify me dying by what ever I was referring to, but the Universe only heard me say that it was killing me! In my surprise here I was in a relaxed state just talking and not paying attention to what I was saying. Understand that it is very hard to constantly watch every word you are saying, or monitor every emotion that you may have. But do try to be mindful of what you are saying; sometimes your words can cancel out your intent!

A good friend once told me that she spoke favor and love in to her life when she had none. At some point if you are faithful and continue to believe, feel and ask with conviction the Universe will deliver. Some of you will ask when? Well, in due time that question can be answered by you. If you want something bad enough then you’re very capable of making it happen, you are equipped to manifest, create and deliver what ever your heart desires. Use your tools, imagine, give thanks, speak, visualize and feel what you want to happen as though it has already happening! Imagine to your self what you would be doing saying and how you would act with the very thing you have requested!

Get the support of your family and friends, let them know that you are trying to watch your speech and your attitude, ask them to participate in helping you monitor your self and you do the same for them! Let us move in to the new year happy and prosperous knowing that we can have all things, we attract the good and what we consider bad all encompassed by the Law of Attraction!

Having Something to Love!

2008-08-26T14:05:00.000-07:00

Everyone is a buzz about the speech that Michelle Obama made at the Democratic convention yesterday. The words she spoke were of love, respect and honor for her Family, Country and most of all her Husband. Although I have never been married, I recognized the realness of her expression; I understood the tone in her voice and the admiration in her heart of truly loving someone. We all have a built internal odometer that tells us when something is good or when something is not right. I felt the good as everyone else did. I too want to be able to feel that respect and admiration for my love ones. Any person would be proud to have someone love them so true and real.

We all can take notes from Mrs. Obama, to learn to love with out haste. Although the Obama’s were sweethearts early in life, it truly seems as though their love has grown and flourished through the years. Now, Sisters and Brothers, I am very aware of the messed up, foul situations that you may have experienced, to that I say, if you want to be loved unconditionally then learn to love that very way. Michelle has something to be proud of a spouse of integrity and honor.

So many of us want that perfect ideal of a spouse but, are lacking in so many ways our selves! Men, if you want your woman to adore you and have that Michelle glow, then give them something to be proud of. So many women are survivors of hurt, pain and shameful relationships. The romance starts out happy, with hope and joy only to become a burden of sadness, lies and sometimes despair. How can you expect your woman to speak of you in respect, when you have lowered your self from the high standards that a head of the household should be in? Is your spouse carrying the weight of the family?
When a home or relationship is out of order, it can lend it self to be the breeding ground for the enemy to separate and destroy the foundation of the relationship.

Women, if you want your man to become the apple of your eye, check your self first. Are you truly giving him the chance to be the head, or are you doing the things that he needs to be doing, because he is not doing things to your liking? You may want him to act better or compare him to your father or what ever male figure you admire. Know that we are all individuals and we all don’t move in the same pace or time frame. So stop playing both parts of the relationship. Allow him to show you, who he is and what he is made of. Sometimes a person work best under stress, so let him have a little heat and space. We rescue our men and then complain about doing the rescuing! We say I need a real man, but when a man show up we tear him down, because of past hurts and only to gain control of nothing. Be careful what you ask for!

I know that some people and situations are not able to become the love of anyone’s life, most cases these victims of a lost heart are struggling to find their own heart and place in this world. But, if you are lucky enough to find someone decent to love, then don’t be afraid to open your heart. God will allow you to think that you are running your life, until one day, he will decide that you have made enough mud pies, which when you were small they were your pretend pies. The Creator will grant you the real thing; he will give you the filling for a good pie with filling and crust!

Expectations!

2008-08-20T07:08:00.000-07:00

What Do You Expect!

Expecting different results? Then why are you doing the same thing?
Often times we enter in to situations with expectations and perceptions, as
to what we want from or think others should do. The quickest mistake a person can make is to assume that you and another are on the same page with out asking. Yes, even when you ask you may not receive the true answer. We are now living in a world of many attitudes, moods and ideals. We are constantly bombarded by insinuations and opinions of what society wants us to think. By knowing your own spirit and expectations you are able to pin point, exactly what you want.

Romance, money and the work place are often the main areas of missing expectations.
We ask not, so we receive not. By not stating what you want to others, you will find your self hemming and hawing around until you will have exhausted your chances to receive your goal. Every action has a reaction and when there are expectations with out communication then you are setting your self up for failure.

1. Take some reflection time and ask your self “What do I want to happen here?”
2. How does my life benefit from this?
3. What am I willing to do, to achieve this?
4. What do I need from ___________ to achieve what I want?
5. Is there fear in asking?
6. Learn to let go, and walk away! Sometimes leaving it will change things.
7. Keep a positive attitude.
8. Remember to ask what (love) means to your mate, you may have different ideals.
9. Be willing to make adjustments, being flexible can add a renewing to any situation
10. Don’t blame or accuse, speak in “I feel” dialect. Honor yourself, by saying what you feel, then ask for a rebuttal

Your expectations are the result of what you have in your life right now!

Do You Feel Wobbly?

2008-08-15T07:28:00.000-07:00

When your world is in transition, you may start feeling a little unstable, like gravity has taken hold of your legs, leaving you feeling wobbly on your feet. This is called change; the Elders call it a breakthrough! Change will come regardless if we participate in its arrival or not. If you resist the transition, the change will persist with a stronger force. If you allow the change then you will reap the benefit of what the Universe is delivering in your honor. I am not saying that all change is productive, or negative, but there are some transitions that leave you feeling like you have just witnessed the earth shake and your feet went tumbling from under you.

During these times it is good to gather some support, build a support system from like minded people that will help to raise you back to your feet. Having a strong support team is very viable to secure your foothold when gravity is doing its thing. When change is in the air, emotions run at a higher frequency, and you may find your self a little more emotional then normal. This process is expected, learn to quite your self and re-focus so that you can reconnect with your self and come in to balance.

When you feel wobbly it’s as though you are teetering back and forth on an axis. This feeling can leave you drained and lifeless. But, if you learn to deal with the temporary un-stableness in your life and not over react to the situation, you will gain control and be rewarded. Issues will always reside some where in the atmosphere, often attaching to stable people. The weight of these issues can either make your knees buckle or strengthen your back to make you stronger.

Don’t resist the pull, allow you’re self to flow with the energy and wait until you have clear direction that the pull of gravity is over.

What's Distracting You?

2008-08-14T09:04:00.000-07:00

In the Law of Attraction, the rule of thumb is that what you focus on will appear in your life. There will be days when things appear to spring up from no where, and materialize from a mere thought. How many times, have you thought of a person or thing, maybe just in passing, just to have it days or weeks later appear in your life?

My Grandmother has often advised me the old saying “Be careful what you ask for, because you just might get it!” This sage saying goes far beyond any old wives tale, when you focus your thoughts on a subject, the Universe takes that vibe and goes out and finds the matching vibrations, which in turn brings them back to you. Thus you are attracting to you exactly what is showing up at your door step. Now this process is very hard to accept, because some of the things that show up can be true distractions in our lives.

Distractions regardless if negative or positive all hold a position, to either enlighten your life or create a motion to grab your attention from what ever you are currently doing. Although it’s vast as to what is considered a distraction, know that everything is a distraction if allowed. There are a million things in this Universe competing for our attention every day this could be people, commercials, jobs, kids, even pets; are all pulling at us just for an ounce of our personal attention.

Our job is to make a conscious decision, as to what we will give permission to resonate in our lives. The Creator has given us a gift of free will, the power to make choices as to what we will accept or do on a daily basis. This free will is most powerful because it allows you to build character and experiment in making the right choices for you.

I often have heard, people make the statement that, someone out side of them selves will or won’t allow them to do something. I have heard the saying “They made me mad!” Well, the truth is that no one including the Creator can make us do anything especially with our emotions. If the Creator does not force us to love and pay homage to him, then I really don’t think he would allow other entity’s to be able to force us to do anything.

As all these distractions appear on your door steps for a reason, there maybe one or many at one time, all ringing your door bell waiting for you to make the choice to invite them in. Some of us have innocently opened the door and allow an unplanned party to take place in our internal space. Now, I don’t know many people that don’t enjoy a good party, or can resist attending to a ringing doorbell. But know that guest, regardless of invited or not, is and will take up your attention. This guest called distraction may only stay for a minute, but some stay way past their welcome, which we all know what having unwelcome guest in your personal space is like.

Once you have the understanding that you control your internal space, you will become the security guard of your thoughts and actions. I personally have moved my self in to an internal space that comes with a guard’s desk and gate. This guard will check all guests at the gate before they even can get to the door step. If someone tries to approach my personal internal space, and they are not invited or on the list of regular attendees, their access will be denied. Yes, every now and then you may invite an unsuspecting guest in that may have slipped through the cracks, but once you see any signs of disruption, pick up the phone call in the security and have them removed and their presence revoked.
Take back your power that the Creator has given you and know that only you can control the battle of distractions in your life.

Why?

There will be moments in your life, which you will have to just sit down, take a breath and question “Why?”
I have always had the notion that people want to generally do what is considered to be correct and lawful with in the Universe.
The old adage of treat others the way you want to be treated. But there are some, whom like to push things to the edge and run the risk of doing things differently. Many of us forget that to every action, there will be a cost and reaction. Know that your intent is what determines what your Karma is. If something is done directly with the intent to harm, deceive or do ill will to others, then you can bet that this type of vibration will be met with something similar; and like a boomerang it will come back to the originator and bring more of its kind with it! Have you ever looked at someone and just wondered "Why?" Why are they doing what they are doing, and especially if they are trying to do it to you?! LOL

Iyanla Vanzant says it best in her lectures. “The more you try to avoid issues, if you think or talk about them, the more they come to you”. Once you focus your attention or give something thought in anyway, the vibration, positive or negative that you give off of that thought to the Universe will cause the vibration to materialize in your life. You could be sitting at home or at work tending to your own business and just barely a thought of a situation or a person comes to mind, and low and behold here that person or situation comes to call.

As I am learning and implementing this Law of Attraction process, I see signs of my thoughts materialize daily. Seeing these situations materialize has caused me to be very careful of how I conduct my thoughts. Although being an emotional person, I sometimes do the opposite of what I say, and as in anything the results are shown in my life.

1. Be very careful to work toward being truthful with your self and others. Small lies will turn up big problems in other parts of your life.

2. Be who you are, not what you think others will accept.

3. Stop and ask your self “Why?” Why am I here?, Why do I allow this or that?

4. Forgive; allow the past to be the past

5. Don’t allow others to feed you fairytales, see things for what they are right at this moment.

We are all learning together exactly what our powers are, so guard your thoughts. The strength of a person is in their character and their word. But know that words are so very powerful, they have a way of building something beautiful or tearing things apart.

Pulling Your Self Out of Quicksand!

2008-08-12T07:45:00.000-07:00

Help I am stuck!!

As you stand there motionless with your feet and ankles emerged in to the thick sand, it seems like you begin to sink deeper and deeper in to the ground! You try to pull your feet up, but there is no motion or movement allowed. The more you struggle to free your self, the deeper you sink down. This scenario sounds like a scene from a horror movie, or a bad dream, it is truly a scene but in this movie, you are playing the starring character in “This is your life”

If you have ever felt like you are stuck, or dead ended in a situation, then its time for an awakening or refreshing of your spirit! Stagnant situations are an indication that the vibrations that you are sending out to the Universe are signaling the Universe that you want to stay in the same place. This is called an energy block. If you find your self mentally repeating the same scenarios in your mind or talking about the same issues that you were talking about a year ago, then chances are you are stuck in quicksand!

Take some time to inventory where you are in your life, look at the people, places and things that you have allowed to participate in your life story. Question what is each situations purpose in your life, are the people in your life there to love, encourage, and spark your intellect? Are the places you find your self going to, motivate, stimulate or educate you? Do the things you have hold special meaning to you, or are you grasping to acquire the very things you desire?

Quicksand is very binding leaving you stagnant, although it may seem hopeless to put forth the effort to remove your self from the gooey substance, doing so can be very rewarding. Many of us have become so comfortable in this stagnant zone that we think its ok to not make movement. Some fear that if we make movement that we will sink further in to hopelessness and despair, so we become complacent and stand still in our lives. Understand that as easily as it was to get in to the quicksand, you can definitely get out. Don’t struggle and tire your self against the strong hold of the sand. Use your mind to imagine your self free of stagnation, and doing the things that you most enjoy. Clean up your environment, entourage, and language, speak life to your feet and start moving!

Use your voice to speak victory to your finances, the job you want, the relationships you want to improve or have, the material things that you want to manifest and the opportunities that you want to create! You have the internal power to free your self.

Love?

2008-08-11T09:13:00.000-07:00

Ok, I guess its time for me to give my twenty five cents on the subject! :)

Love is the Universal word of acceptance, joy, and intimacy.
But ironically the word is so open that the definition is always fleeting.
Everyone seems to have their own personal definition of what they think Love is.
In the Law of Attraction the word Love is defined by your thoughts and actions.
“What is Love to you?” Could love be the one word that can unify a nation, or the magic password to a beneficial life? I really don’t know, but I have heard enough comments about the word to last me a life time.

I know so many loving people that are struggling to live with the disappointment in what they thought were love. The disappointment comes from the feeling of being tricked or lied too. Yes, they promised you the moon or just too simply love you faithfully, only to discover they really did not do, any of what they promised. When ever you are the victim of lies, or participate in a lie, you risk the chance of blaming your self for allowing this kind of disaster in your life, all in the name of having love.

No one want to feel like they are being duped or fooled, or emotionally tricked, so the hurt of being caught up in the promise of what you have been told, hurts deeply. Listen closely to your internal gut; this feeling was given to you, to prevent you from allowing this to happen to you. If you question it, don’t dismiss it just to live the fantasy, or pretend it is not showing you a red flag! Don’t let one or many disappointments poison your heart from something real. We all have been on the love fantasy ride, just know that you can always get off the ride and plant your feet on solid ground.

Let’s look at it this way, if you purchased a gallon of milk from the store and brought it home, once opened it you discover that it was spoiled. Would you vow to never drink milk again or break out in tears, because the gallon you picked was spoiled? I truly hope not, best bet is that you would bring it back to the store you purchased it from, collect the money you spent or get a fresh gallon! Oh, make sure this time that you check the date before you purchase. LOL

As a child it was ingrained in me that love was meant to be of honor, your true love always keeping their word, they appeared strong and able to provide for their lovers needs. This thought was quickly replaced with the reality that no one person in your life can be the magic answer to your needs. Being a television baby, I witnessed the noble knight and Prince Charming often stealing the heart of many maidens. This made up fiction would always be the hero and perform his or her duty of rescuing the person from their life of trials, only to bring them to true love and happiness. This story always ended living happily ever after so the story goes. Well as I grew up, we all come to find out that as in any fairy tale, our modern day Prince and Princes simply does not exist in past day form. So how do we attract real love? How do we turn our modern day frog or frog-ett into a Prince or Princess?

Well, with anything in this massive Universe, it starts with our selves; you must believe and focus on the love that you want. Let go of past hurts and stop dwelling or talking about the bad relationships if you want something better. In this process of relationships and love, we often look to others to rescue, deliver or give to us, the missing void in our lives to make us complete. Take some time to figure out what love means to you, understand what it feels like in your own presence. If our Creator is constantly giving us unconditional and infinite love, “Why is it so hard for us to return the same kind of love to each other?

I have heard so many discussions on how to find love, be in love, attract love etc.
Love is no consolation prize for doing the right things in our lives or for our selves.
Self discovery will bring you so very close to your goal of love and support. Take time to discover what it is you want from a mate, lover or friend. Open your heart to look at your life first. What are you doing in your life right now that says I am open to give and receive love?

I often speak with someone I call my Soul advisor, we often speak of our ideal mate, comparing notes and making metaphors. Last we spoke, we talked about how to find our mate, and we metaphorically compared our ideal mate to the different flavors of ice cream. We talked about there being an array of flavors to choose from. We talked about finding that one flavor that has a taste much different then any other flavor we have ever had. My personal love choice is that one flavor that is soothing, and exotic, something that is rare yet available for me to have. Although you have to maybe go, out your way or to a special store to find it, you can still see it faithfully and consistently in the frozen section.

Understand; once you find the flavor you fancy, be sure to take advantage of partaking in it. Yes, this is something new and different then your basic Chocolate or Vanilla, and it may only be offered for a limited time. But, to risk tasting it will allow you to acquire a taste for something better then anything you have ever had
P.S. be very careful that you don’t get the generic brand, it taste close to the flavor you like, but it has synthetic ingredients that can easily fool you. Get serious about finding your Love, Soul Mate, and Spouse in your life focus on what you want! Find your personal flavor and focus on enjoying and having it, and then you will find your love. As for the (Prince and Princess theory), we are made in the image of our Creator, we all come from royalty, So lets claim our true birth rights and treat our selves and others like the Kings and Queens we truly are!!
Love, Peace N Much Respect!

Listening to Your Own Conversations!

2008-08-08T08:18:00.000-07:00

Listen to Your Conversations (Pay Attention to Your Own Words)

On a daily basis we are constantly talking, sharing ideas, and making statements.
But, what are you really saying on a daily basis? The spoken word is so strong and powerful in our lives. The sound of your own voice in your own ears is more powerful to your subconscious and to the Universe then most will ever know. When you are having conversations with friends or family or inside your head, you must be very conscious of what you are saying, even in fun. The words you say can carry vibes that will manifest in your life, with out you being conscious of ever doing anything to make it happen.

Although saying I am prosperous or I am wealthy may seem silly or unbelievable, say it anyway! Anything that you want opens your mind and speaks it in to existence. The Creator has given you the authority to speak life to any situation. In the bible it states that Jesus spoke to the fig tree, understand that you are of the creators’ image and you have the power to change your life, your situation and your mind.

Although in your internal system you have the words of the Creator ingrain in your spirit, there is something about seeing those words that somehow bring the belief of our internal powers. Bring forth the words of advancement, prosperity or success and let your imagination guide you to feel it real. Start listening to your self talk, stop talking aimlessly and pay attention to what you are saying. If I had a recorder and tape my conversations I think I would be truly surprised at what I am saying on a daily basis that is developing what I am saying in my life. How many times have you made the statement, “It’s always me, which stuff happens to” “Why can’t I have this?” Everyday or every month something is happening to hinder me” Stop this type of talk. Take a close look at your life and recognize that everything that you are saying is happening in your life right now. If you want to know what your real conversations are about? Take a close look at your life, everything you say manifest outwardly.

Everyone wants to tell their story of how someone said something negative to them or how someone miss treated them or how something horribly came about that caused them problems. But as you continue to say these things the Universe thinks you like them, because this is what you are focused on even in casual conversation. You are sending out a vibration that is matching the issues and problems, which the vibration goes out and bring back the situation that match your vibe.

Are you a complainer? Try a self inventory, if two people mention to you that you have been complaining a lot, take heed and understand that you are giving off the negative spirit vibe! Don’t let this crabby spirit creep up in your life. Change your speech! If you have to vent the negativity, then rephrase your words. I learned a technique from a Life Coach, Ms. Cheryl Stokes. Cheryl, said to add the paraphrase “Up until know I- had problems with money, Up until now- I was treated badly, Up until now -people did not respect me. By using the paraphrase you are saying to the Universe that no more of these negative things are affecting your life!

To Thine Ownself Be True!

2008-08-04T09:30:00.000-07:00

Making the Big Commitment!

We all go through a period in our life where we want to be committed to someone or something. To belong to, or become a part of, or be spoken of for something that has a meaning. All of these aspirations are awesome and indeed a noble cause, to have the desire to be a part of something bigger then your self. But, the real commitment starts internally with your self. There is no amount of anything that you can purchase, get from anyone, or artificially develop to take the place of the commitment that you make to your self.

We can easily get caught up in the hype of saying what sounds good to our selves or our peers. The real test comes when we are actually doing what we say we want for our selves. Although making a commitment to our selves seems fairly easy because we are suppose to love and honor our selves. It’s very common to have a false sense of self care when the goals and promises you make are easily broken, or pushed back for something outside of your self.

If you are wondering why it seems hard for others to commit to you, or be loyal, stop and take a look at your self and see if you are honoring your self with loyalty and commitment. In my research of the Law of Attraction it states that to attract something you have to feel as though you have it already. These processes sometimes feels silly or unreal in most cases, but know that our mind is a powerful tool and that our thoughts are manifested through our actions and words. So, make no contradictions to your self or conflict you will get. If you are having headaches, backaches, earaches or even toothaches, know that something you are doing or saying is truly contributing to some form of contradiction in your life.

In Louise Hay’s book called “You Can Heal Your Life” it states that every thought has a link to a physical ailment. Being a singer, I often suffer with throat problems or problems with my ears, I was sure this was caused by excessive use of my voice. I later found out that although my singing voice is clear, I often don’t speak up clear for myself, and did a poor job of honoring my voice when I was upset about something. I realized that I would hold my speech, in fear of hurting people feelings. Also the trouble with my ears was that I was listening to way too much of others problems and issues and not clearing away the negative vibes that were being deposited in to my spirit.

Understand that self must be taken care of. I have to remind myself daily that although I always feel like I am fine, I need to go with in and do a check to see what my spirit is saying it needs. This sometimes required me to shut my self critic down, and not allow my insecurities to bagger me about anything in my life. Make a commitment to your self first to love and honor your self. Be good to your self.

1. Take more naps
2. Allow physical touch to soothe you
3. Get your feet done
4. Soak in a tub of Warm water, 1 tbls of flour, 1 cup of lemon juice, 7 Bay leaves and cup of Epsom salt!
5. Pray
6. Listen to inspiration soul music! Jazz,Soul, Gia,(India Arie)is awesome
7. Affirm your self that you love & accept your self daily!
8. Exercise
9. Breathe, sometimes just exhaling does wonders
10. Just stop!!
11. Allow someone else to love you

Love, Peace N Much Respect!

Take Back Your Power!

2008-07-31T07:33:00.000-07:00

Good Morning! Is it a good morning for you? Let’s go back to earlier this morning when you first awakened and opened your eyes. Take a moment and think back, try to remember what your first thought was. How did you greet the morning, were you focused on being tired and wishing it was the weekend? What was your self talk while you were getting dress this morning? Did you turn on the television and watch the news? How do you start your morning?

I was reading an article on the Law of Attraction and one of the things it spoke of is how we activate our selves in the morning. Now, I must admit, there are some mornings when my eye lids are dragging the ground. But there are other mornings when I follow a holistic regimen, of praying, saying my affirmations and gathering my thoughts of appreciation and gratitude. The mornings that I honor myself and my creator are the days that seem to flow best for me. If you wake up with issues and problems and negativity, it seems to follow you through out the day.

Have you noticed that the Sundays you attend church, your week just seem to flow better. This is because you have been fed the word of encouragement and reminded of the promises of God. Understand that you have been given a choice of making the decision which way your mind and attitude will go. You are never trapped in any situation, everything that is in your present life, is something you have created or accepted good or bad. Our mind is a powerful tool that was independently given to each of us, which incorporates our free will and governs our emotional intelligence.

We discount our selves, and give up our powers so easily by allowing outside situations and people to push our buttons! This includes how we start our mornings. Some of us allow our evenings to govern our spirit the very next day. Sleep was created with the intent of refreshing our spirit; each day is supposed to be new. It’s often that so many of us will drag arguments, frustrations and disappointments in to our next day. Let it go!

It’s not the fight that makes you strong, but practicing the habit of controlling your power, this is the essence of true strength. Stop trying to be right all the time! So, let’s say you prove someone wrong, spouse, child, mother, dad, co-worker, boss etc.. and you are trying to convince the other person that they are wrong about something, you have been arguing for months now, about an issue or someone told you a lie. How long are you going to fight this situation? Are you arguing the point to prove that no one can get one up on you? Are you trying to prove to the person, that they are crazy to think they can make you believe something?

No one wins in this situation, and I can guarantee you that either side will not get a prize or trophy for being the winner in the argument. Understand that what you focus on or frequently speak of, you will get more of. The Universe is always listening, even to your own self talk. Learn to take back your power, fight against nothing, try leaving it alone and letting the creator direct you in a more positive out come. Guard your thoughts and your tongue, and wake up your spirit in peace! The gift is that still you rise every morning. 

Love, Peace & Much Respect!

Are We Living Our Values?

2008-07-30T10:12:00.001-07:00

I attended a conference yesterday, and one of the programs brought the question up of “what is our core values and if we are truly living them?” The instructor asked us to take a blank sheet of paper and draw a line down the middle, in the left hand column write your top 4 -5 values. Write down in order what is most important to you! This might be career, family, health, love, finances, pets etc. In the next column to your right, write down exactly what you do everyday to ensure the importance or the value that you have for each item. Such as, if you say family, “what do you do each day to ensure or reinforce the importance of your family to you?” If you say health, “what are you doing health wise to display the behaviors of being healthy in your life?”

There are times when our subconscious mind gets confused with what we say we want, and what we are actually doing to achieve the out come. If finances are important to you, then you should be reading, doing and displaying characteristics that show the importance of finances in your life. Our minds are designed to do exactly what we request of it. If we are busy saying one thing and doing another, then we become frustrated and uneasy because we are contradicting the very thing we say we want. In turn the verbal request that we send up to the Universe is delayed because of our thoughts and actions. So, if I say “I want better finances” and I don’t do anything to work towards that, I am actually opening myself up for lack to come in.

Although we all have great intentions, the action must work in coexistence with your intentions to manifest what you say you want. Let’s take a closer look at our value system. It’s time to walk the walk; we make the statement every year that it’s going to be all about our selves! We proclaim that we are going to be our first priority, well until we actually make that happen and start doing things that match this statement, we will not attract what we need to be fulfilled.

Value System:
My Child: Take 5 mins to hug my kid everyday
My health: Take 30 mins to do some form of exercise
My Finances: Save the money I would spend on lunch for 3 mnths
Love Life: Allow myself to be open for Love
Career: Take courses to keep me knowledgeable in my field

Living Like It's Your Last Holiday!

2008-07-28T11:18:00.000-07:00

Enjoying my (Some-thing-ish) Birthday lol, this weekend lead me to ponder on the thought of, what have I accomplished to get me to this age in my life? Does each milestone inch us closer to what we call bliss or does our dreams fade away with our youth? Watching one of my favorite movies, “Last Holiday” starring Queen Latifa and the very fine LL brought me to the question of “What if this was my Last Holiday?” What would I do? The movie is very precious its about the life of a simple black working woman that often dream of the good life and having the love and happiness she wants. This woman as plain as she might have looked had so many talents inside of her, but they were all tucked away in what she called her possibility book; to us it would be our vision board or book.

She bumps her head at work and is taken to the Dr. to then be told that she has an incurable disease and only had a short time to live. Hearing this shocking news she decided to quit her dead in job, and pull out all her money from the bank even the bonds her dead mother left her, and start living the last few days she had to the fullest. Well if you saw the movie then you know she was misdiagnosed, she got her man, she got her spirit back and she got a life and all turned out excellent!!

Would it take a life threatening situation to cause you to look at the life you are living and make different choices? Life is what you make it, so if you are bored and unhappy it’s because you are boring and unhappy!! We all have choices to make, and no action or movement toward a goal means no movement at all. I can stand here and blame everything under the sun for my mishaps and misfortune, but what we all know is that we can always do different or better.

So your spouse is a jerk, or this is your second or third divorce. What if you had to file bankruptcy or financially destitute, so what? Life does not stop because we make bad choices. Yes, we have some repercussions for the bad choices we make, but we also have some celebrations for what we consider good!!

Figure out what you want and listen to your self, we talk and listen to everyone else, but we miss the words we are saying to others, that we need to be saying to our selves. Ask for what you need, you would be surprise what would happen if you just opened your heart and mouth and spoke up!! Be positive when you speak! Don’t say they wont let me or I can’t” because you really can!! The Character in the movie, commanded everyone’s attention, not because she was trying, but because she did not care, she felt her life was ending and she was on her own agenda! When you don’t care about what others think or say aboutyou, you become more in tune with your self, and your needs. So let’s live everyday like it’s our last holiday, and turn that possibility in to a reality!!

Love, Peace N Much Respect!

You Become What You Think About!

2008-07-22T07:03:00.001-07:00

I was reading the book of The Secret, and in this chapter it spoke about how we draw to us the very thing we don’t want by talking, dwelling and thinking about what we don’t want. Well this effect as in anything has an opposite, that if you dwell and talk and imagine the things you do want you will attract them. I often think about the things I want most, but a big part of me, sometimes think about the negatives. Although I am working on training my mind to change those negative thoughts to positive, it is a true task to stay in the now and not let out side distractions deter you.

Dr. Wayne Dyer, is another author that I admire, he often tells a story about living in an orphanage. Now this life path to some is very devastating to think of a child being given up by their family. But some of our most influential people have come from this existence. Dr. Dyer told the story of a young girl name Mary that arrived at the orphanage where he was staying, Mary’s first day was devastating to her, and she cried and cried as her family dropped her off. The house mother called Dr. Dyer to help console Mary, the thing I found most interesting is that he told her to stop crying, that they were going to have so much fun, because there were no parents to tell us what to do!! You are totally free. Mary instantly stopped crying and started laughing! The key to this story is the way you think about a situation is the way it will turn out. If you change you thinking you can change your life!

We all have issues about things in our life, which we acknowledge or may want to change, so we constantly look at it everyday and either criticize it or accept it. For example, we may not like something about our bodies, our hair, our jobs, our clothes etc.
When you are getting dressed in the morning do you find your mind focusing any of these subjects, job, and hair or on the body part that you would like to change? Understand that those self talked mornings resonate through out your day and place an order to the Universe to attract that feeling of dissatisfaction, or upset. The early morning self talk is very important to the start of your day. So if you had a bad night, try not to carry the upset in to your next day. Keep your self in a positive mode, if you can’t find anything positive in your situation right now, then switch your thoughts to something’s that you may be grateful for, water, food, family, nature, breathing etc.

By changing your thoughts, you can change your life!

If You Think It, It Will Come!

2008-07-21T06:34:00.000-07:00

What are you thinking about this very minute? Quickly do a mind check and look in to what you are thinking about. There are days that you may wake up and wonder what my purpose is and what should I be doing to for-fill that calling? Understand that to everything there is a purpose. No matter how well versed you are in a subject there is always room for you to learn and grow. We all are given a path to follow, but it is totally up to you which course or path you will take. Yes, we sometimes wonder on side roads that may delay or extend our path, or we bring company along in our journey. But, we eventually find our selves back on the main road to what ever our path is, sometimes alone and sometimes accompanied.

My focus this weekend was to relax at any cost. So Thursday night I started imagining what a relaxing weekend might entail. Although I had no definite plan, my mood and my attitude was relaxed. This somehow caused me to attract all the wonderful relaxing opportunities to come my way. I am not saying that these things have to be major or obtrusive, even the smallest gesture may very well mean something meaningful to you.
Shopping with a relative, taking a nap in the middle of the day, hanging out talking with a friend, having a cozy dinner, even eating your favorite sweet ripened fruit! All of these things, big or small are examples of attracting what your soul is calling for or needing.

Imagine your self doing something totally different off the beaten path. What is it that you want to happen, is it a new job, better relationships, more money, a new house? All these things are attainable if you think your way to them. If you find your self cringing every-time you pull up to your job, then make today the day that you make a list of everything you would want from your perfect job! What type of Manager you would like to have? You may desire to be self employed. How much do you want to earn? List all the details, even what type of work space you would like to work in. The more specific you are the easier it is to feel it real.

I have always been more effective in attracting things that could feel real.
So put your emotions into what you are wanting, and feel it as though you have it.
Understand that the creator has equipped you with free will to attract what ever it is that you want so activate your faith and make it happen.

Get It Together! Kick Criticism In The But!

2008-07-18T07:36:00.000-07:00

There are times when we will allow others to manipulate our spirit causing us to be totally drained or act a plumb fool! Often leaving us wounded and wondering what in the world happen to our self esteem? What developed in us to make us react so strongly to someone else words? Have you ever felt less or inadequate because of another person’s comments or opinions on your life? Sometimes people make statements that don’t jibe with your conscious; their words can penetrate your spirit to its core. Although these words are not physically attacking you, there strength is sometimes as lethal as a blow.

India ARie sings about it in her song “Get It together.” from her 2003 Voyage to India CD.

One shot to your heart without breaking your skin.
No one has the power to hurt you life your kin.
Kept it inside didn't tell no one else,
didn't even want to admit to yourself.

And now your chest burns and your backaches,
from fifteen years of holding the pain.
And now you'll only have yourself to blame if you continue to live this way.

Chorus: Get it together; you have to heal your body.
Get it together you have to heal your heart.
Whatsoever you so sow you will reap, Get it together.

Dark future ahead of me that's what they said.
I'd be starving if I ate al the lies they fed.
Cause' I've been redeemed from your anguish and pain,
a miracle child, I'm floating on a cloud.
Cause' the wards that come from your mouth, you're the first to hear...
Speak words of beauty ad you will be there.
Na matter what anybody says what matters most is what you think of your
self.

Know who you are, be ready to stand your ground and trust in your self.
If your belief is strong in the spirit of self, others self doubt and fear will not affect or deter you from your goal and all their talk will bounce off you like you were made of steel. Understand that by you allowing their non-belief to shake you, only secure the fact that you have doubt in your self, which is causing you a delay in attracting what it is you need in the first place!
Use the naysayers and doubters as motivation not ammunition against your self. Believe in the process and close your ears to what others have to predict over your life. Don’t get me wrong there are times that you may need checking, from a close source, because we all are bugging sometimes.

But constructive love is wayyyy different then criticism that can cause delay in your life’s plan. Beware of what comes from your lips, that gives others ammunition to sink your ship. Remember the game back in the day called Battlefield? The object of the game would be for you to face your opponent and then call moves out loud to keep them off your course, so that you could get to them and sink their battleship! Protect your battleship, heart and ears and move forward know that your path is yours for the taking!!

Love?

2008-07-16T07:07:00.000-07:00

In the name of Love, wars are fought; in the name of love children are born.
Everything has opposing signs; a person can love and hate the very thing that they treasure most. Self love has somehow become a need to learn process in this society.
There are books, tapes and affirmations to remind us to simply love our selves. We spend so much time trying to impress others with things, words and thoughts of who we think we are. We do this to show the so called haters that we are more then what they thought we were! Although it is absolutely normal to use this feeling of “show the world “to motivate you to new heights, don’t forget your self and your heart in the process.

Unconditional love is acceptance of your self and others without being judgmental or hurtful to others. Yes, there are going to be times, that you may not agree with the one you love, be it parent, child, lover, sibling or friend, it may hurt them, but if they know that your love is sincere, the message will come through just fine. Learn to embrace yourself, by treating your self the way you would like others to treat you. Set the standard of what you will and won’t accept in your spirit. Don’t be afraid to be alone, your alone space is spiritual. Light some candles pour you some wine and put on some inspirational tunes and enjoy your own company. In this process of enjoying your, you time, amazingly others will feel more attracted to you, because of your spirits confidence and freedom.

If love is the very thing that seems to elude you, then stop what you are doing and try something different! To attract the love that you want or need, you must know exactly what you want from love. Once you have thought about what it is you want from love, then think of the positive aspects of it and keep that feeling with you. Don’t allow your self to dwell on the negative only focus on the positive. If there is no tangible significant lover in your life at this time, be patient and enjoy your self and freedom, surprisingly the feeling will generate a message to the Universe that you are radiating self love and attract your perfect mate.

There are no perfect people; even Christ had imperfections, in the Creators image we are made and as one we are to love and cherish God’s greatest creation which is your self. So stop the blaming, shut down your own self criticism and cherish who you are. If you have higher expectations of your self, then don’t force or fight with your self, make a plan to meet those standards. Maybe you said that you would not do something and you did, so what… understand that emotions and feelings cause us to do certain things that may not match what our brain has designed for us to do!

Cherish you, and if you have someone that loves you, cherish them too!!

Love, Peace N Much Respect!

Facing Your Internal Truth!

2008-07-15T07:30:00.000-07:00

What is your internal truth?

When I was a little girl, my Grandmother would always have the saying, “A person’s mouth can say anything, But, their actions is what speaks the loudest.” I could tell myself and others everyday, that I was doing everything that I needed to do to get where I need to be. But, if this was truly not the truth, then deep within the sound of that lie would cause the self critic to go on a tangent in my head. It’s very easy to get caught up in talk about what you are going to do, then actually doing the task.The truth of the matter is that once you verbally tell a lie, to your self or others it seems to linger in your own spirit, slowly causing more procrastination and less determination.

In the use of the Law of Attraction, we know that visualization, affirmations and mind work is necessary to create what ever existence we desire. In the bible we are also told to “Call those things that be not, as thou they were” all of these sayings are activated by faith and the true gut feeling that what we are asking for or saying we want, we truly believe internally is that we have or can achieve it.

Take sometime to exam what you have been speaking, are your actions coinciding with what you are saying? Do you have a book or manuscript, which you have had intentions of writing for many years, but something inside you has not allowed you to act on it? What about bettering your health, paying off debt, decorating your home or cleaning out that closet? All of these things are small hindrance to your internal truths! Some things can be put off, but know that they will always be there no matter how much you hear your self talk about doing them.

What about how we speak of love and caring for our selves and others. It’s so easy to say I love you, or I care about you, but, what are your actions really saying? We all have an internal truth gauge that has been installed by the creator to let us know when we are out of balance or out of line. You will recognize this gauge by the feelings that come up when we contradict our selves by our actions. It’s easy to talk a good game, but when play time is near and you have no strategy or plan or idea of what you are going to do, you risk losing the ball to the other team. All we have is our word and what we believe in, if you find others that believe in you and your dreams cherish them and be honest.

A person can say I am going to be a millionaire all day long, but, if your actions are not doing anything to achieve this goal, then your internal truth is a lie! This, in turn will make you feel bad, because you have nothing tangible to prove to your self that this is a reality. Now, if you say I am going to be a millionaire and you are taking actions to be a millionaire, i.e... Reading books on becoming a millionaire, finding a mentor that is a millionaire, finding out how others achieved this goal. All of these action items will build your faith and also tell the Universe that you are truly serious about achieving this goal.

Don’t put off things that could assist you in achieving your goals and pretend that you have it all together when you don’t. We are all working toward our purpose. By being truthful the creator will send you some help your way to achieve your goal!! So before you speak, put some action behind it. Before you say I love you, do something that is loving!

Using The Law of Attraction!

2008-07-14T06:56:00.000-07:00

What Do You Want?

So many of us have a long list of things we don’t want, but few can thoroughly articulate what they do want! Learning to be specific can be quite difficult when you are trying to figure out what it is that you truly want out of a situation or even material things. Our outcome is determined by our thoughts, and what we have planted with in the Universe is always answered good or bad.

How to get what you want with LOA.

1. Set you intentions to get what you want
2. Follow through with you request by feeling you already have it
3. Imagine in your minds eye that you have exactly what you want often
4. Examine how you would feel if you truly had what you requested
5. Allow your self to enjoy the thought of having it
6. Keep self doubt at bay
7. Have faith in the impossible, believing will spark the process of receiving
8. Act as if!! ( Act as if you already have what you requested)
9. Speak of your desire in present tense
10. Be appreciative of it as thought it is already here
11. Be appreciative of everything
12. Take nothing or no one for granted
13. Act now! Procrastination will keep you stagnant
14. Trust your self to do the right thing
15. Proclaim your victory

Self Doubt!

2008-07-10T07:04:00.001-07:00

How many times are you going to speak about what you are going to do? Do you find your self saying I am going to do this when I get this or that? If you find that you are using these phrases more then once a week, you may need a self doubt check!!

As you proceed through life, there will be opportunities to really shine and show your stuff, allowing the world to see exactly what you are made of. These opportunities are often missed because of the lack of doing verses talking. I am not a fan of haters in any way, but I also know that we can be our very own hater. An internal hater is that internal voice that tells you, that you can’t do something or that you don’t deserve it we are most times our worst critics.

Have you ever wanted something and no matter how hard you tried it just seem to be close enough to reach out and touch, just too only elude you after trying? This can be very frustrating and discouraging, but know that you are not alone and this process can be changed.

There is nothing wrong with talking out loud about your plans or dreams, but know that by doing this without making sure the environment is safe, is just like giving your top secret plans to enemies! I know you are thinking, why is it that I have to watch others but also myself? Understand that you have an internal critic that can cause you to fall off your course and become fearful and flooded with doubt. Know in your spirit that you can prevent your internal critic from becoming the enemy to your dreams.

There are no dreams to small or large, if you thought it up then it can be achieved!
So many of us, allow our internal critic to tell us, that our thoughts are stupid or to hard, only to turn on the television or read the paper about someone else that had the same dream and accomplished it. Yesterday we talked about watching our thoughts, now we must also monitor what we say and how we think about the very thing we say we want.
You may think this is a lot of work and it’s just easier to not do anything! By not doing anything, you are taking the easy way out, this way no one can say you are getting besides your self because you have nice things, nor can they accuse you of changing or not being down, because you take a different path. There will always be fearful bystanders and naysayers accusing you of being a dreamer or lazy or lackadaisical or an over achiever. But, understand that this is not their dream, it’s yours and what others think about you or your dream really is not your business!

So, think responsibly and stop the traffic on your own critic. If you want something, make a plan and get at it! Everything is out there for the taking, there is more then enough for everyone to get what they want, and it’s just that some will reach higher for their dreams while others will wait for their dreams to fall on the ground in front of them.

Watch Your Thoughts!

2008-07-09T13:21:00.001-07:00

What you think speak volumes in to your life!
In initiating the Law of Attraction, it is imperative that through out the day you check in with your self and monitor what you are thinking. If you find your self dwelling or thinking of negative situations or problems, then you are on a fast track to creating more of that in your life. When things are out of whack and your affairs are out of balance, it is truly hard not to ponder or question the reason as to why things are happening. But, try your best not to dwell on what ever it is, and refocus your thoughts on something more pleasurable.

I also struggle with this daily, but when I follow my focus of keeping my thoughts on positive things in the presence of negative then miraculous things happen. I had a bad habit of saying “Oh, I can’t afford that” I did this constantly and would not try to buy the very thing I wanted in fear of the price tag! Well one day, I was out shopping with one of my Sisters and saw something that was a little steep for my purse string. I started saying my spill about how expensive it was and how I could not afford it. She politely corrected me and told me that I could have what ever I wanted, if I truly wanted it. I was a little taken back, because she of all people knew I did not have any money, so I was trying to figure out why she would have said such a thing. Then she explained the process of when ever she wanted a big ticket item she would go look at it often and then she would ask if they had a layaway plan and then she would visualize it and she would be determined to have it! I did not know it at the time, but this was my first introduction to (The law of Attraction!) I now spend time visiting and admiring the very things that I truly want, no matter the cost! Miraculously I have some how attracted those things in to my life from doing so!

Every instance or happenings does not require you to allow it to consume your thoughts! Pick and choose what you give your attention to. Try repeating to your self, “My mind and not my emotions control my thoughts.” If you are having some issues and need to talk about them, try talking about what you want to happen, such as (They did not call when they said they would) how about (I really want them to call me) or (I am so sick of this job) how about (I will be so happy, when I start my new job) The rephrasing of a statement can create harmony and vibrations that will produce the very thing you are speaking of.

The Universe is always listening to what you are saying, so watch out for negative words and thoughts. It’s your choice to feel the way you chose. But why not make it more pleasurable if you can. I was co-teaching a communication course and one of the first questions they asked is; how would you handle your thoughts, if you had to have a conversation with “Bill O’Rilley’? I know most people cringe at the thought! But, as negative and harsh as Bill can be, the key to communicating with someone like him is to take your emotions out of the equation, and allow your self control over your own thoughts. This evoked thought on my behalf by knowing how to control my thoughts when negativity is in my face! Having a conversation with Bill is definitely in your face. Hahahahaha!

So, the next time you hear the statements, (I can’t) or (it will never happen) or (I am not making this or that happen.) Know that those thoughts are giving you exactly what you are thinking about and saying.

Fruit On The Vine!

2008-07-08T07:37:00.000-07:00

I was watching the news this morning and there was a report about fruit farming, and how to recognize if the fruit is ripe for picking. The process for strawberries and blueberries is that once they are ripe the removal of the fruit from the vine should be effortless.

In applying this process to your life events and strategies, you will often nurture dreams and goals and plant seeds in to your life, all the while waiting for the very thing you want to grow and be ready for harvest. So, patiently you wait for the fruit of your labor or dreams to be ready for the picking. Sometimes these dreams, goals or whishes are slowly growing on the vine and seem very hard to pick. No matter how much you water or fertilize it, the fruit is still not ripe enough to pick; no matter what you do if the fruit is not ready, it will only cling to the vine. If you force the fruit from the vine before its ready, you are tampering with the growth of your harvest. That is why it is best to wait and not force anything to be ready before its time.

I had an epiphany that we often question our selves and God about when will we see the fruit of our labor. “When will it be our turn?” “When will we harvest?” this relates to how the universe and the creator often is telling us that something’s take more time then others. No matter what you do, rushing will only spoil the sweetness of your crop and you will have to work harder to harvest it. The process of growing and harvesting fruit is very similar to trusting your self and the creator to produce the perfect harvest of your dreams and goals.

Fighting for and struggling against a process is not going to make things grow or go faster. Complaining or doubting you will ever have the harvest is not going to help make your fruit grow. But as a wise farmer, you will know to lay out your crop at a certain time, water nurture and let it go so that the process can be completed. Once ripe you will not have to struggle to retrieve your fruit, it will practically fall off the vine.

To all my Sisters and Brothers that are having internal struggles about something.
• Let go and allow the process to bloom.
• Focus your mind on the outcome you would like
• Imagine and feel your excitement as you expect to harvest your crop
• Don’t be hasty in picking your fruit to soon, allow it to grow to its full ripeness.

What Are You Waiting For?

2008-07-07T11:14:00.000-07:00

I was talking with some friends and we were having a conversation about how life seems to quickly pass by, if you are not paying attention. Some of us were speaking on how fast our kids were growing and some was talking about how quickly their pay checks are shrinking! Right this minute take a moment to reflect and look at your life; “Are there some things that you would like to do?” But, you put it off because of no time, money or opportunity?

If so, try making a list and allow you’re self to view the things that seem to slip out of your life, that you often say you want to do. During the holiday I got a chance to see the movie the “Bucket List” in this movie Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson are starring as two terminally ill men who escape from a cancer ward, and head off on an adventure to do all the things they have always wanted to do, but did not have the time or money to do! This movie captivated me, not only because of the great acting, but because of the fact that the story line is so close to home for so many of us. We all put things off and stay in our comfort zones for many logical reasons and excuses that we create for our selves.

Just because something is comfortable dose not make it safe or good for us! Some stay in situations because it’s too scary to do anything else or we are afraid of the change.
We stay in Bad marriages and relationships with people that don’t support us or we have out grown and nine out of ten, they don’t even have a clue as to what we want or desire any more. We nourish our selves with things we don’t really desire or take our bodies for granted. We ignore our children because we are too busy or tired to deal with them all for the sake of providing for them. We ignore our own internal guidance that tells us, we need something more!!

So, I was totally amused by the thought of making a list of things I would do if I too only had a short time to exist. Routine and stability is awesome, but find the beauty in escaping from your routine sometimes. Allow you’re self to open your mind to a wealth of adventure. Several years ago I was fortunate to travel to the islands; I loved it so much that I was afforded three more opportunities to go back. I attracted the opportunities by allowing my vibrations to reach for the chance to go back. Each time, that I was able to visit, I felt even more captivated by the beauty of the island. As I looked across the beautiful crystal clear waters I realized that taking the first step to look at what my desire was, allowed me to see out side of my own situation. This experience allowed me to see that what I thought was so important felt pretty small. I felt that was a reminder that God has created so much more for us to see and experience then the issues and everyday living that we allow for our selves. So make your “Living List and start living and attracting!!

Reclaiming Your Independence!

2008-07-03T07:08:00.000-07:00

As we get ready to celebrate the 4th of July, I wanted to take some time out to honor the Sisters and Brothers that are reclaiming their own personal independence, Independence from a divorce, bad job, un-supportive people in our lives, problems and frustration, financial issues, people that drain you or maybe even rescuing others or dealing with others problems. This is a time to form independence from everything and everyone that has held you away from freedom of love, thought and expression! The Law of Attraction states that we attract all things to us by our thoughts and actions, and as hard as it is to accept this we must look with in to find out why and what in our mind set has created the things that are in our life either good or bad.

I applaud all of you that have hit the restart button!! The fact is thank God that we can hit the restart button at anytime. Some of us have walked away from relationships some have lost jobs and others houses and cars. But as you walk away or as those things leave you know that you are making room for something more suitable for you. Allow people that truly have your best interest in your life to help you and encourage you. What use is an island if there is no life on it, so don’t always try to go it alone. You against the world is a big task by your self. For all of you that are struggling financially, make some sacrifices to reclaim your financial independence, that may mean moving in with a friend or sharing your space with a room mate or even if you are able to returning home to parents so you can regroup and gain some fortitude. There is nothing wrong with you finding ways to regenerate your life. Yes, the economy is crazy but if we embrace each other and support one another we can make miracles happen.

My family and I are very resourceful in making miracles happen for each other. If I have a pot of beans then one of my family members will bring the meat or rice or drinks or gas money. When you are on a journey to reclaim your independence you have to be resourceful and dedicated to make life happen the way you need it to. That may mean out with the old and in with the unknown and new. So, write your proclamation and let the world know that you are taken no prisoners and you are doing what ever it is that is good for you!

For those that are recovering from a relationship change, know that you need some place to heal your wounds so that you can resurface and be better then you were before. Eagles are awesome creatures that soar to great heights and latitudes. The Eagle sheds it feathers by the time it becomes thirty years of age. The eagle retreats to a mountain top where it will pick out its feathers and sometimes removing its beak and talon to shed off the heavy deteriorated parts of its self. This process happens with in a 5 month period where the parts that were removed grow back allowing them to live another 30 or 40 years!! We may not be able to re-grow body parts, but we definitely can shed feathers!! So as you enjoy toast and watch the fire works this 4th of July, create some fire works of your own and reclaim your independence!!

Love, Peace & Much Respect!

What's Missing?

2008-07-02T06:27:00.007-07:00

What’s Missing?

There are occasions in life that you may just feel antsy, like there is something missing. You can’t quite put your finger on it but, you know that there has got to be something better then what you are experiencing in your life right now. It’s as though you have no clue as to what this feeling is, if asked “What is wrong?” you would not have an answer. Sometimes this feeling is often described as being tired, worn out, or sick of living. Many people go through this quietly because they don’t want anyone to know that they are feeling this emptiness. There is often a feeling of silliness about this feeling, as you go down the line of what you do have and that you should be grateful for.

What is causing this feeling?

I believe that when you are not as one with your spirit as you should be, that it will give you a feeling of longing or wanting. We all have voids that come up in our lives to help us learn. These voids are there to get us to move or take action in our lives.
This feeling of unease can not be filled with things. Although shopping or eating or what ever you maybe doing may distract you and give you the feeling of comfort the feeling still creeps back in. This feeling can’t be filled by another person, again you may be distracted by having someone in your life but this will not dissipate the reoccurring need.

How To Make it Better?

Your spirit is your personal indicator to your emotions. This is your source and it have to be taken seriously. If you are in or around negative situations then your spirit will adapt to the situation. Causing you to feel down or negative about your self or what you are in.
Take Notice of what you are doing each day to recharge your self. (quiet time for reflection, write in your private journal, make goals to do something peaceful that you enjoy… walk in the park, message, sitting by water, lake, ocean.. will allow your spirit to breath. Have a healthy prayer life, conversations with the creator daily will help to release negative feelings and allow a refreshing of the spirit.

When the feeling come what can I do?
• Just stop! Stop doing what ever you are doing for a few minutes and get in to your mind and think about peace.
• Count to your self or repeat an affirmation
• "I am at peace with my soul and covered by the holy spirit”
• Drink some cool water, this will make you literally slow down and allow you to hydrate your self which will give you the feeling of being in control
• Rest, we are a busy society and, we take sleep and slumber for granted, when you are physically tired you are not allowing your spirit to have the proper vessel to live in.
• Do something different, take a different route home, Pick or buy your self some flowers!
• Find things that inspire you, listen to music that you like, go to the book store, go look at your dream home or that dream car that you have been wanting. Find peace in living and calm the restless feeling!

Involved or Committed?

2008-06-26T06:19:00.000-07:00

Have you ever been in a relationship where you felt you were totally committed to this person, and that they were also committed to you, but to only find out later that, although you both agreed to be committed, the two of you were really only involved?

This concept and question applies to your commitment to your life, are you truly committed to your goals, your dreams or are you just involved. Many of us go day to day with the images in our head of what we want to achieve and have, but we put the process of doing what we need to do on the back burner. Thus we are only involved in our fantasy of doing what it takes to make things happen instead of being committed. How can you expect others to be committed to you when you are not committed to your self?

If you are like me then your want list is pretty long, some may want a healthier or sexier body, some may want to be debt free, more money in the bank, and some may want a love interest or to make the relationship that you have better with your self or others. All these goals are viable and legitimate in your mind and heart, but what steps are you taking to make this happen?

Yes, I do understand that most of us have jobs, kids and other responsibilities on top of all the things that we say we want. But, what is stopping us from achieving these goals?
I have always struggled with my weight, some months I am on target and some months I just don’t want to think about it. Although I have been told that I am good, the way I am and my mate seem to be satisfied. I on the other hand want certain stability with my body. I was reading an article written by Dr. Sklare a well known psychologist and he posed the question “When are you going to take control of your life and make the right decisions to get you where you need to be”?

We each have two personalities our grown up that makes the hard decisions and our inner child that can be rebellious and cause us to do things that are not conducive to our goals. Example: The grown up knows that you need to take your medication daily or that you probably don’t need to purchase that new item with your rent money, but the child want it now and will urge you to throw caution to the wind and just do it!!

This process is a thin balance and some order needs to be brought so that we have some balance in our lives. The time has come for us to put our lives under new management so that we can see some prosperous returns on our investments in our selves. Would you allow a seven year old to manage your finances or would you prefer a grown up to make those decisions?

Holding on to the past is a hindrance to your future.
Yes, many have said that you must remember where you came from, to know where you are going. I don’t agree, because where I was then is no where as to where I plan to be. Let go of the Ex’s and the Nay Sayers and haters, let go of your Parents, you have nothing to prove to anyone but your self and God! Why is it that you continue to do the same thing and expect a different result? Why is it that you are divorced from a situation but ever time you speak of the situation or speak to whom you have let go of, you still have the anger or you still have the same arguments as though you are still in it? A child has no control over their emotions, so they fuss, cry and scream to prove their point! Are you involved in this turmoil of distractions and interference in your life or are you a grown up that has decided to put new management in to place?

Make a list of what you are trying to achieve, make a plan on how to get you there. Once you make the decision allow your grown up to make the good choices and stop putting off today for tomorrow. If you know you want to lose weight then stop eating those cookies and cakes and find a way to make better choices. If you need to take medication stop pretending you don’t and take it or find a healthier way of improving your health so that you don’t have to take meds. If you are still fussing with your Ex or current spouse, stop it!! It takes more energy to be right then to focus on what you need to do for you. Be committed to your self!!

Love, Peace and Much Respect
Gia
P.S. Thank you to my family and friends for all the love and support during my health issues, 3 surgeries later I am still going strong!! Love you!

Clearing The Way To Prosperity!

2008-06-12T07:20:00.000-07:00

“I deserve the best, and I accept the best, now.” Louise Hay

It seems there is an out pour of the belief that the mighty dollar is eluding us as we speak. The perception of lack and scarcity is the word that is being spoken through our media and from our friends and families. The general consensus is that we are in for a rough time fighting an economic upheaval. But, if the truth is that what we speak is what we get, then maybe we should be saying the opposite!! In following the principles of Law of Attraction the vibration of lack will only cause more lack in your life. In the bible when there was a famine, many families struggled and even perished from the effects of the famine. But, those that activated their faith and belief held on to the thought that this time will pass and we shall be blessed for our faith and belief in the Creator.

Why not declare with in your spirit everyday that “what ever happens economically will not affect me or my family” If everyone had the vibration of abundance and prosperity then the effect would be more abundance and prosperity! Let’s first accept the fact that we deserve prosperity in our lives, we should expect it. This is not to say that things, situations and distractions will not come to test us, but if you gain a resolve in your heart that no matter what, you are going to be victorious and live a prosperous life, you will!!

If you want something new in your life, let go of the old. Some of us, have so much stuff that we never use, look at or even remember we have. We hoard things in the pursuit of new things. Eventually we wind up having closets that are busting with un-worn clothing or dozens of shoes and things all bought in the pursuit of happiness. Things are nice, but they are a temporary fix for emotional starvation. Get rid of some things, clear out, give away or move around things. This will activate your abundance energy! When you give to others you are shifting your energy and telling the Universe or declaring to God that you are ready for more. Would you give a seven year old child $500? I think, probably not, because of the fact that they could not handle the money correctly or they would lose it or really have no concept of what to do with it. So as the Creator is our heavenly father, why would he give one of his children more, when they have not shown good stewardship over what they have?

Understand to appreciate what you have now, bless it, and take care of it. It may not be what you feel is the best, but it is yours. How many of you desire a new car? But the car you have is not clean and maintained? The car note is behind and you are constantly speaking of what you are going to have, instead of respecting what you already have.
For those that don’t have a car, are you visualizing your self having one, or are you envious of others that do? Everything is cause and effect, take what you have and build from there. Clean out those over stuffed closets and give something away to someone who will appreciate it. Wash and fix your old car appreciate it, and watch the blessing of what you want develop. Maybe you have to eat tuna right now, but would prefer steak, enjoy the tuna, and believe in the steak and watch it happen.

Abundance & Prosperity
• Believe you deserve it
• Make room for the new
• Take good care of what you have
• Show gratitude for everything
• Rejoice in others good fortune
• Hold your focus to what you do want
Let others focus on lack, you focus and declare prosperity in your life!

Make A List, Watch It Happen!

2008-06-11T08:05:00.000-07:00

Make A List, Watch it Happen!!

Many years ago I developed a friendship with one of my Managers at my job. Her husband was a high achieving salesman that would always make miraculous sales; I asked her and her husband what was his secret, and what made him different then the other salesmen that enabled him to have so much success? They both introduced me to making list. I know it sounds simple, but following the process has brought me some excellent results. Her husband gave me this little paper back book called (“It Works” by R.H. Jarrett) this small book explained that you can have what you want if you set your intentions on it. It talked about making a list of everything you want and watching as the universe delivered it to you, you have to highlight or cross it off your list.

I was very skeptical and felt like they were just pulling my leg; surely the information in this book or making a list would not be the magic answer to achieving and getting the things that I needed. So I read the book and gave it a try, I made my list putting big ticket items at the top of the list, House, Car, Better job, Funded bank account, then lower on my list I added, Furniture, New clothes for my kids etc.

As time went on I would list everything that I wanted, sometimes rearranging the list to make it smaller or larger. I would carry the list with me and look at it often. To my surprise as I looked over my list I had crossed off majority of the things on my list including the big ticket items!! So how did this process work?

• Made the list, (set forth my intentions to the Universe)
• Viewing and changing the list ( Activating my belief)
• Crossing out or highlighting the items I received (Allowing the Universe to deliver and being grateful in acknowledgement of receiving it)

Believing is one step, seeing it on paper and activating your faith for it makes it real. So list out what you want and know and feel it real, also keep your list private. Once you have crossed off everything on your list show others as your testimony of how good the Creator and the Universe are, all you have to do is ask.

Who Are The Starters On Your Team?

2008-06-09T07:51:00.000-07:00

If life is like a game, then we all have our very own cheering squad! If you have ever participated in High School sports or teams you know that every year there are tryouts for those that want to be on the team! These are the people that will cheer you on, in your race toward your goals through out your life. They will listen to the same stories you tell over and over, laugh and cry with you with in those entire situations that have lasted longer then the 7 year war. They will encourage you, kick you in the rear when you need it, and darn sure tell you off when you are wrong. LOL!! Although their council is respected and much needed in your life, make sure that you have the right members in place and that you frequently talk about positive things verses just the negative.

In growing your cheering squad there may be some that will get cut from the team.
There is nothing wrong with a yearly inventory of your squad to make sure that you are still cheering for the same game!! Be careful of those that are new trying to get on the team, you need to check out their cheering talents, they maybe weak in some areas that you already have a good cheer for.

Example:
When something happens in your life that is negative, for many of us the first thing that you want to do is find understanding!! So you call you cheering squad, and repeat and regurgitate the negative experience, over and over and over again to those that are on the sidelines for support. Picking up the phone, you reminisce about how bad the situation is, telling numerous people all about how you didn’t like this or that and usually going on and on about the experience in great detail. All the while, you are not fully realizing that you are offering negative vibrations by giving that which you don’t want more of your attention, energy and focus.

“The Law of Attraction truly doesn’t know whether the ‘thing’ you are giving your attention, energy or focus to, is good or bad to you, or whether you want it or don’t want it. It simply responds to the vibes you are offering by matching them and giving you more of the same!”

Thinking about what you don’t want or like about your situation is very important to applying the Law of Attraction to your life. IF you use that information and your cheering squad to help yourself become clearer about what it is you do want to happen. the combined positive energy from you and your squad will benefit you greatly in achieving your goals. So when something happens in your life, small or large, stop think about it before you speak to anyone else and then figure out what you do want to happen first. Call your squad in and talk about the whole game not just about the negative parts, but speak about what the solutions are. Your Cheering squad is there to motivate and give you the momentum to over come obstacles, but they can also raise your vibration by helping you to talk about what you do want instead!!

Fighting For Peace!

2008-06-06T07:29:00.000-07:00

The two words peace and fighting are often used together, but really don’t belong together. If you are fighting against anything then it cancels out your peace! No matter what is causing you problems or disturbing your peace understand that by fighting against it and resisting it will definitely not bring you peace.

Issue:
There will always be things competing to get your attention, people, jobs, kids, money, television, homes, things, status etc. But it’s up to us to choose what will have the privilege of receiving the ultimate prize (Our Attention). Have you ever noticed when you are minding your own business and you feel most at peace, here comes something to distract you from that surreal feeling to pull you in to drama. It could be a phone call from someone that want to pull your attention in, your car acting up out of the blue, or a bill collector or an annoying problem that just won’t go away! Our elders would say that the enemy is busy to keep us distracted from giving our attention to the creator.

Solution:
I’ve often found that when my emotions are running high and I am angry and upset, that I have a tendency to focus in on the very thing that is causing me the problem; which allows the villain to win. When something or someone is trying to push your buttons, the ultimate prize is to get you to resist, the more you resist something the more pull the problem have on you. Stop wrestling with problems in your mind, stop asking why and calm your spirit and get your focus back. This process might take you a minute so walk away, hang up, stop texting, e-mailing and just shut everything down for a moment.

Defeat comes from having and displaying out of control emotions, regain control and take a good look at what is going on, divert your attention somewhere else for a moment.Having passion for what you believe in is awesome, but losing your focus because of it is not. Mother Theresa, said it best, when asked if she would attend an anti-war rally, she replied, “No! But, if you have a rally for peace I’ll be there!” Don’t forge a war against something you don’t like, but rally for things you do. If someone is doing something wrong, then speak of the correct thing you want them to do, then thank them in advance for doing it, instead of complaining about what they won’t do that is wrong!! I was once out with a friend whose child was being unruly, another form of getting a parent attention. He did not allow her actions to anger him he simply asked her to sit down and thanked her as though she had done it already!! Yes, I know this does not always work with your kids and enemies all the time, but keeping your focus does!!

Arguments are normally between people that want to be proven right, one or the two of you want to be the good spouse, the good parent, the good employee, the one that everyone can say that it was not your fault, or you were the good one. You know in your heart, who you are, so why try and prove to that ex-spouse or ex-employer or anyone that doubts you or who you are? Their opinion is only one in the world of many so allow them to have it and keep moving.

Let go of needing to be right, there are no awards handed out for being right. I know that you are saying, “But he won’t let me, or she made me, or what they did was this or that. We all have stories of hurt and injustices, but learning to concede and take sometime off from the fight, this will allow you to breathe new life, and will give you a chance to unwind, and have a fresh prospective. When in battle the opponent job is to distract you so that they can find a weak spot and attack you. There are some of us on this planet that are so unhappy or envious of others that are perceived to have peace and happiness, that they will purposely try to disturb you because they don’t want to hurt, be in pain or suffer alone. Misery does indeed love your company.

Understand that the prize they are after is your attention & peace!!

Encourage Yourself!!

2008-06-05T08:34:00.000-07:00

There is no one in the world that can encourage a child like their Mama’s.
As we have seen on many competitive shows such as American Idol, where truly the contestant lacks the talent and is told so by the judges. But as the camera pans over to the contestants Mother she is furious, and can’t figure out why the judges could not see that her child was not the next Whitney Houston or Justin Timberlake! Are all these Mothers or Fathers tone deft or blind to the fact that their child is not the next big thing?

Many of us did not have or forgot what if felt like in having an encourager in our lives. For some of us, making that home run, or acing that test was like having a grand parade. An Encourager can be anyone that plants supportive words in your soil, which gives that added nourishment to help you grow; the person maybe a Parent, Grand Parent, Sibling, Friend or Spouse, who ever give you that feeling of invincibility. Yes, they believe in your dream and will do what ever to help you achieve it.

Issue: What about you?
Are you doing you part to encourage your self? Do you always have to have someone’s approval before starting a project or completing a goal? There are many instances where parents have encouraged their children to succeed in areas where they have lacked in their own lives. How often have you taken the time to encourage someone else to do something, where you are lacking in your own life? The old adage of do what I say not what I do, no longer works with the new generation. Is there a child or person in your life that you either push very hard or mentor to be their best? If so you must remember they have a clear view of what you are doing in yours.

Example: Has your Mother ever told you to make your bed before you leave your home in the morning? But the strange thing was you never saw her make up hers!! Have you ragged on your child or someone else’s about doing home work, but they never see you reading a book?

Solutions:
Learn to encourage your self, be an example by living your dreams. Be like the Mama that believes in her child. If you don’t have an encourager in your life, then be your own!! Write down your goals and believe in them, take small steps each day toward your goals.

It makes no difference what those dreams or thoughts are, if they are important to you then pursue it. Watch what you ask or demand of others, if able, be ready to be a challenge to your self and the one you are encouraging, practice what you preach, regardless if you realize it, you are always being watched.

Respect The Storms!!

2008-06-04T08:05:00.000-07:00

Staying Focused On The Sun, Through the Storm!!

Living in Houston we all know that, there is a tendency to attract some bad storms, especially during Hurricane season. Sometimes it can be a bit frightening even for the bravest. The lighting is striking, the thunder is roaring and the wind is blowing. If your heritage come from a family from down south, that means that all electrical appliances are turned off. My Mother was recently in town visiting from Louisiana and I was reminded of the old saying “Take cover in the storm”. A strong bolt of lighting and thunder clap came down one rainy evening while she and I were watching Television. I was on my cell phone and gabbing with her at the same time, when after the storm introduced it self she immediately turned the Television off and demanded that I get off the phone. I was stunned; I though what in the world that is such a wise tale talking. But, then she responded by saying you need to “learn to respect a storm!!”

Example:

We often take storms for granted, some of us that have been in heavy storms and made it through, knowing to prepare for the next time. Others see storms as things that come and go and if they are not affected directly, feel it’s just a part of nature doing her thing. The question is “how do we make it through our storms and learn to respect it?” Tears are like rain it comes and goes by the amount of pressure that is building. The sound of your voice yelling, arguing or fighting against anything is like the lighting and thunder. So here we stand in a storm, do we continue to ignore it or do we stop and turn everything off and respect the storm. Many time we miss the lessons of a storm, or the meaning of why there is a storm happening to begin with. this occurs because we over look the process. Our Elders seem to know how to predict storms, our Grandparents would say (Storm coming) they could smell it in the air or their body could feel it coming through their bones.

Solution:
Respect the storms in your life! Prepare for them, have you a storm survival kit!

1. Keep your mind stored up with positive thoughts, for when you need non-perishable faith.

2. Fill up your soul with the waters of peace, love and understanding, because the storm may cause a drought. It’s good to have it in reserve.

3. Understand that you may not have contact with others during the storm, the phone, lights and communication equipment may not work, so have some good words and motivational things in place to keep your mind in tact.

4. Don’t look directly at the storm, but focus on the creator and what you are trying to accomplish ( health, job, love, house, money, faith, joy, peace)

Understand that sometimes a storm is needed to cleanse a situation and make movement come to get you where you need to be. So as my Mother would say “Learn to Respect Your Storms”

What Needs Cleaning In Your Life?

2008-06-03T06:44:00.000-07:00

There are many actions, reactions and events that occur in our lives on a daily basis.The question is which of these events are we creating or which are out of our control? In studying the Law of Attraction it states that we create our own reality, meaning what is happening to us right now this minute is created by our conscious or sub-conscious.If this process is correct, why are some experiences better then others? Why is it that bad things happen to good people? I am lead to believe that it's not the event that occured but how you choose to handle it!!

Have you ever met someone that no matter what happens in their life, they are always smiling and speaking positive, even when the storms of life comes their way they are always looking for that silver lining on the cloudy days? What about someone that complains or talks frequently about everything that happens to them? They always have a fascinating story to tell about what someone did to them or how horrible their life is going. Most of the time they run across people they don’t even know, but there is always some type of injustice as though it’s a personal attack just waiting for them!!

The Law of Attraction states that what we acknowledge and give our attention to expands!! So the irritants in life that seem to scream at us for attention are zapping us of our happiness and success. All things have an opposite and positive if you allow your self to dwell on the negative then the Universe assumes that you want more of the negative.

Example:
I have a friend that has been out of work for a while, money is past being tight, bills are piling up, his relationships are strained, and his house is cluttered and disorganized, because he was depressed from the other two negative things that were going on in his life. On top of that he received two parking violations and his unemployment was cut off.

Solution:
One day after calling every number he had in his cell phone, there was no answer from anyone, and he was left to only listen to his own voice. Since he had no one to complain to about his situation, he decided to listening to some motivational tapes he had thrown in the corner, he decided that he had no control over his present plight and decided to clean out his closet.

As he was scooping clothes and shoes off of the floor he realized that he had let his situation get out of control. After looking at his now organized closet he finally felt a sense of peace and realization that, he does have control over his life, and that by choosing to do what he can to keep his spirit motivated that he felt more in control and grown up. Here this man was disappointed and disheartened by the actions of life, but by him moving his energy around in a positive way, in cleaning out his closet, he was able to change his mood and vibration and send out the signal to the Universe that he was ready to make things happen.

The peace he felt from cleaning the closet, was so good, that he turned all his phones off and proceeded to clean his whole house, he cleaned out his car, his refrigerator, he threw away all old and torn things that seemed to just linger around, for some reason all this organizing and cleaning made him have a feeling of success and accomplishment!! In this process not knowing he had begun the change. A couple of days latter he received a call from a company that he had sent his resume to, they offered him a job, also the people who were not answering his phone calls before, were now calling him, just to see how he was. Think about it; (Does your closet need to be cleaned?)

Are You In Transition?

2008-05-22T08:50:00.000-07:00

My how times have changed,I find that some of the things that I use to love are not as appealing to me anymore. We all have had that moment, when the awakening is just beginning; when you get a fresh look at people, places and things in our life that just don’t seem to fit anymore. I remember loving McDonald’s fries and their apple pies, loving those orange slice candies and hanging out all night with friends. But, for some reason my taste changed, those things just don’t have the same appeal like they use to.

Remember your first crush, that person was the bomb to you then. Now taking a look back, you wonder what in the world you were thinking. I can’t do anything but giggle about that. It seems that as we grow into who we are, not considering age, but who we are as a person. We learn to take a fresh look at our lives and do some inventory of the pantry of our lives.As we do an inventory and clean the pantry, we may find that there is no longer a need for those ole stale outdated nuts or fruit cocktails in our lives any more. Maybe we want something more filling, with some substance like rice, beans or vegetables, there comes a time when you have to do your own upgrade.

Solution:
Learn to let go of people, places and things that don’t have meaning in your life anymore. Find what motivates and support you in your life and dreams. Ask your self, “What and who the muses are in your life?”

Imagine having to carry around a 25lb bag of rice every where you went. Now true enough this bag of rice is harmless, and may not be that heavy to you, and, you may not even mind carrying it. As a matter of fact it has become a part of you; you have accepted that it has become your job to carry the rice around!! Well, since you have carried the 25lbs around so much, its become second nature for you to carry this weight!! You actually, really forgot that you were carrying it. So off you go lugging this 25lb bag of rice every where you go.

But what if you let it go? Just stopped carrying it. Once you put the bag down, you are able to see the shift in your weight and you feel lighter. Wow, you did not notice the lighter side of riding your self of the weight, until you finally put it down.

Get rid of the dead weight that is holding you down! In other words wake up, why would you need to carry extra things with you that you don’t need? Forgive, and let go of the shame, the weighted relationships, the need to always be right or perfect,people, and the need to please. Put down what ever it is, that is weighting you down.Keep out dated things out of your lifes pantry, only feed on things with a good expiration date!!

Which Sitcom are you living?

2008-05-21T07:48:00.000-07:00

Which sitcom are you living? Are you struggling to get to your destiny and dealing with lack like the Evan’s family or have you moved on up like the Jefferson’s? Both families had similar problems and issues regardless of their status. If you are living the Evan’s sitcom then you are optimistic and you are definitely trying to live your dreams. The Evan’s may not have known, but they were living and utilizing the principles of the Law of attraction. They had the vision and they often spoke it in to reality. They would often get a break through in every episode something good would happen, that would give us hope that, they were finally getting their fair due!! But some how after the excitement and the, we are getting out of the ghetto dance was done, the disappointment would come or the plan would fall through. Just to hear Florida Evan’s say oh well, the important thing is we have each other!

What was missing? The prayed, they tried to live a decent life among turmoil, they openly expressed their goals, they even had a coffee can fund that they kept for Michael’s college fund dream. But, with all thier faith and plans, why were they always surprised or skeptical when an opportuinity would come or something good would happen? Did disappointment teach them to not believe?

If you are living the Jefferson’s sitcom, then you have arrived,in your mind you have crossed over in to the good life. George Jefferson, the father of the clan had no problem in saying what he wanted and going after it. He left no stone unturned to get what he wanted. He put the Law of Attraction process in to full gear. No, was never an option for George to get his dreams of success for him and his family, they seem to have activated their faith and placed and order and the universe delivered.
What was missing? With all that money and material gain, the Jefferson’s still had some of the same family issues that the Evan’s did. But how could this be? They were both on different levels of life achievements. Do you think that if the Evan’s had the money the Jefferson’s had then all their troubles would have been over? What about if the Jefferson’s had more heart and less money, would all their troubles be over?

Solution:
Both families started out the same, striving for what we think is the good life. Do you have an “if only I had statement”, ‘If only I did’. We all suffer from what we could have done or the lack of. George in all his glory knew how to activate his faith because he refused to take no for an answer to his dreams. In our hearts we all think that if we finally make it, we can show the world that we are worth something. So we throw our selves in to our work, ignoring love, life and everything going on around us to gain what?

Maybe we could be like the Evan’s and struggle and struggle but we have love, life and plenty of friends in the same boat, we have parties and talk about it and everybody agree that we going to make it one day!! But here with all the heart and love, we are not strong enough to take no for an answer and really stand up and fight for our dream!!

Life is a balance, love with money is no good, and money with out love is no good. Stop fighting against stuff and complaining, truly open your mind and believe in your dreams. Live, love and pay attention to life, right now, be in the present through the process of moving on up, then there will be something worth doing the happy dance for!!

What Are You Speaking In To Your Life?

2008-05-19T11:07:00.000-07:00

Scenario:
Have you ever had a week when everything just seems to be going haywire?
No matter how hard you tried, you just could not prevent the happenings that the universe brought your way. So, you sat there with your head in your hands, tears streaming down your face because by this time, your head is pounding and your frustration level is pretty high!
So, out come the words describing the emotions and pain that you’re feeling, or the discomfort of what you are going through. You speak of anger, you speak of him or her and what they did or did not do, or what you feel they made you do. Then comes the well known hip hop chant “They gone make me lose my mind, up in here, up in here!!” Yes, you are convinced that there is a plot, at work, home, the phone, the bank and by golly definitely on the road ways to get you!

My Experience:
In my last blog I mentioned my mothers warning of guarding my tongue. Watching what you say because what you speak your create. So in paying close attention to my own words, I found my self subconsciously saying little phrases like. I am broke, I can’t, I just don’t know, and I am sick and tired of, or this is really killing me. These words poured out my mouth with out blinking an eye! I am fully aware of the process of the Law of Attraction, and have full faith in the creator and his word, but my words seem to subconsciously come out negative, when I am in an uncomfortable situation.

It’s funny, I could have just left church feeling good, motivated and positive and instantaneously something can happen, someone call or cut me off on the road and here come the words of disbelief, fear or anger about the situation. I recently experienced a health issue with my Kidney; out of the blue this health challenge came. In the religious aspect we are taught this is a spiritual attack on our health by the enemy. On the metaphysical side, problems with my Kidney speaks that I am angry and as a friend pointed out literally “pissed off “ Sometimes our illness is our bodies way of speaking what we can’t verbally express. One of my favorite reference book “You Can Heal Your Life By: Louise Hay” In this book Louise has comprised a dictionary of health issues and what there emotional meanings are. I recommend you get the book; you would be surprised what your body is saying to you.

Solution:
Stop saying what you don’t want to happen in your life, not just in your finances but with your relationships and health also. Your words, attitude and faith summons your destiny. If you want to improve things in your life, stop fighting against the current and make a conscious connection to bring peace to your thoughts, and mentally create in your head the winning out come. Envision the blessings and rejoice the victory!!

Direct your Attention to The Outcome You Desire!!

2008-05-16T06:17:00.000-07:00

Direct your Attention to what you want!!

Ok, what a week!! Bills are due, paycheck gone before it hit the bank, your love life runs hot and cold, the kids are going through something or need something, your health is developing funny issues, and your busier then ever at work!! It’s hard enough to decide what you want, but you sure as hell, can make a good list of what you don’t want!! In the Law of Attraction this process is called contrast. This means that all the irking little annoyances that pop up in our life, are there to help us figure out what we don’t want. Yes, these occurrences are strategically placed to help us recognize what we do want.

Scenario:
Have you ever had a time when you needed money so badly for just the basic survival things, gas, food, shelter etc…? And you had no clue where it was going to come from. So the first thing you did was call your Council. The Council is a group of like minded people, related or not, that are your audience. They are there to listen, advise, agree and participate in the movie of your life. So, you pick up the phone to call them and tell them your story line and plot, you go on acting out all parts about how this and that happened. And you need help to figure out what you are going to do! The Council then chimes in, gives you ideas to resolve the issue or come to your rescue and lends you the doe. There are some Council members that will help you complain about it and agree that life is dealing you a bum wrap.

Solution:
What you give your energy, vibration and focus to, good or bad manifest in your life.
The Theory is that the creator spoke this world in to existence, and if we are made in our maker’s image, then what we unconsciously speak of, we create. My Mother has always advise me to guard my tongue, because once you speak it in to the universe and the frequency carries it reverberates to that vibration and more of what you speak of occurs.
This is not an easy process because we are all passionate about our issues, and others that we care about so we empathize with each other out of care. But, the better dose of medicine could be to acknowledge the issue, then try and fine the positive and focus on a better out come of what we do want instead.

P.S.
Although,
I truly love the Council; sometimes you need to be still and quite to hear the voice of the creator, or that internal higher power to solve your issues!! Save what you don’t want for some journal activity, and talk to your Council about all the things you do want and “Watch God Change Things”!!

Peace, Love, and Much Respect

Identify Your Desire

Do you know what you want?
Most of us are still trying to figure it out, or better yet, we never knew we had a choice in the hand that was dealt in our lives. Some of us blame our parents for not providing enough choices or informing us that we do have a choice. I use to feel that I knew exactly what I wanted out of life, like when I would get married, what he would be like, where I would live, how many kids I would have, and even how much money I would make, but looking back in making those plans for my life, I have to laugh at myself, because at that time of making all of these important decisions of what I wanted, I was at the ripe age of 16!!

As I moved in to adult hood, I often felt like life threw me a curve ball. I was no longer in control of my well laid out plan, there was no husband and three kids and I definitely was not living the glamorous life that I had envisioned for myself. In studying the process of the Law of Attraction, I learned that the key to accomplishing your personal attraction factor is deciding exactly what you want. Many times in our quest to achieve process, we over look the obvious, we condition our selves to take what we are given and not expect more. We take on the notion that our dreams are merely a notion, and that we have to deal with our present reality. I feel that we are limiting our selves in that type of belief system, and if the Law of Attraction is correct our present reality was created by our own desires or lack there of.

I have a friend that is very distinct about what he wants; he knows exactly what he wants!! His directive is always on some type of course, and although it may change from time to time, he still makes it a course and he makes it a priority to plan a course. Why so many of us especially women, make decisions for everyone else in our lives but don’t take the time to figure out what it is we really want. It’s like looking at the drive thru menu of life, and you have all of these wonderful choices but we don’t have any clue what to order!! The rule of Attraction says that we must make some decisions, to be able to create what we want in our life.

1. Identify your desire
2. Give your desire attention
3. Allow it

Why Am I Attracting This!!

2008-05-14T06:15:00.000-07:00

In today's society being metaphysical is the in thing, understanding how the universe work and how it affects our lives is the buzz of the season. There are some that call it the awakening!! I call it my Grandmothers theory. As a child you were always told to do on to others as done to you or turn the other cheek, quotes from the bible that my Grandmother frequently drilled in my head that still ring in my ears daily. Although these are words that we all have heard, how is it expected to possibly apply these words of wisdom?What course do you take when life is in your face, and all hell has broken out?

I often seek out books and blogs for wisdom of what the law of attraction truly is. How could we attract hurt and pain or death to our lives when all we want is to be happy? How is it possible that I have attracted my boyfriend leaving me, losing my job, bad health, or the fight with my sister? I saw the film (The Secret) maybe 50 times trying to absorb the process and learn how to apply it to my life. I am not sure that I am doing it right. But, I am trying and on a quest to learn so that I can awaken and be aware!! lol.

I have always had the philosophy that what a person put out in to the universe is basically what they get back. (Although some crappy people seem to being doing just fine) lol. So.. My thought was that I would send out rays of love every chance I got, so that I would receive an abundance of love back! Well, I did get some awesome results, but I also received some pretty lousy results also. A kind of 50/50 return. I read somewhere a mist my 200 self help and metaphysical books that while the positive 50 bring you joy and happiness, the other 50 of negative energy is there to help you grow. Its like if you have never experience heartache or pain you have no knowledge of how to handle it, when it arrives in your life. So we are suppose to take the negative that we have created or at least had a hand in and learn from it.

Every morning when I wake I have a ritual of thanking the creator for all the things in my life good and bad. I make my proclamation that I am going to have an awesome and wondrous day and then I imagine in my mind what that wondrous day will look like. I then pray that all my family, friends, and friEnemies will live long and prosper. Yes, I pray for the haters also, because the process is that haters are a necessary evil, to motivate you to get you where you need to be!! I love it when someone tells me I can't do something!! It’s like motivation on steroids!! hahahahaha!
