Last Blog of 2010

WOW what a year! I can honestly say this has been one of the most emotionally impacted years of my life… it has also been the year where I saw things come into fruition. What was 2010 like for you? I’ve heard, comments like; “2010 was the best year of my life” to “2010 was the worst year and I can’t wait to get out of it.” I wonder if we understand that time is a human thing? I’m smiling because I think I’m just now realizing that myself. God does not work on time… He’s always on time, but He’s not governed by it. So if your year was good or bad, unless you’ve made conscious decisions to change or keep it that way, the clock striking 12-midnight will do absolutely nothing.

Let’s think about it. If the universe is run by God whose 1 minute is equal to our 365 days year… what makes us think that changing from 2010 to 2011 is going to make a world of a difference? It is YOU, US, WE that make the difference. This is why “new year’s resolutions” are a little silly. Make the change you want to see in your life now. Make this new “year” YOUR YEAR. It may hurt, but without change there is no progress.

I love you, ALL. Happy NEW LIFE!

Misery Loves Company…

Now we do realize that misery loves company, right? I mean I don’t have to spend an entire paragraph proving to you that, those who are miserable like to have someone to bounce misery off of, right? Let me take it a little deeper… because it’s my blog (LOL)… Negativity is an energy, same as Positivity. When someone comes to you and says, “OMG I just love your energy, your Spirit…” They’re commenting on your positive energy, that has attracted the positive-ness in them. Now, the same goes on the opposite of that. Negativity as an energy attracts the negative-ness in others. In Buddhism particularly Nichren Diashonin Buddhism, it is said that there are equal parts (negative and positive) residing in our life conditions and it is your perspective and/or how you control those parts that bring complete happiness. Ok but without going all deep into that let’s get back to the gut of this post.

DUMP YO MISERABLE FRIENDS! I hate to say it this way, but this is a great example. A wonderful woman who does my colonics (yep), in Los Angeles once told me this, “Don’t have friends that are overweight. You will become overweight before you help them get skinny.” Now of course she was not telling me to be a pumpas arrogant ass, she was just explaining that you are the company you keep. “Crack heads can only date crack heads.” –Chris Rock. *My apologies if that was too krasp, please know I’m saying it in love*

If you realize, when you realize that a friend or group of friends are constantly being negative and pulling you down… DUMP ‘EM… just that simple. That energy is very powerful and always will affect your Spirit.

2011 on the way… get it right, get it tight!

What you did it what you're doing

A friend of mine Fleace Weaver once said in an email or some kind of communication, that what you're doing now will affect you 2 to 5 years from now and what you did 2 to 5 years ago is affecting you now. That isn't the exact quote but you get the gest. I never forgot this. It really makes you stop and think about what you're doing, doesn't it?

If we take the time to reflect on the situations we're in now we may see a direct line to a choice we made several years ago. It may have been a good choice or a not so good one but you can see how it has lead you to your current state. Years ago when I read that comment from my friend I began making a very conscience effort to work on my Spiritual Life. I began reading, studying, exploring other views and other perspectives. I began making choices based on what I wanted to manifest later. Ofcourse along that road I made some wrong turns (or did I?) ... The point I'm making is I can honestly see the beneficial payoff. Ask yourself, "Self, what has been my payoff? " if you don't like what you see, make a change immediately.

Start today! Know that everything does not react to our choices right away, don't stabb yourself in the foot years from now over a silly decision today.

Let's ROCK now!!!! MUAH.

Start Now

As I've gotten older and matured, I've noticed that new year's resolution(s) are seriously thought about and considered at least 2 to 3 months before January 1. We all really take the time out to focus on the things we want to change or do differently... But then we wait. Why? I thought about that over the weekend while speaking to a cousin of mine and decided I'm going to start now, I'm still me and whatever it is still must be changed so I mine-as-well get a head start.

New years resolutions can be dangerous that way... They make us wait on a decision that we make for ourselves out of the love we have for ourselves. I remember someone asking Will Smith (awhile back) what his resolution was and he said, "I don't believe in them... I just change now in that moment".

So let's make good on those choices made in love... Today

MUAH do it big.

SELF-Investments

The greatest pastor this side of Glory did it yet again yesterday. After he completely restructured and reorganized the story of the woman with the issue of blood...he went into the realms of friendship. Loop boy deep deep deep. But at the end of the sermon he brought it all together by instructing us to invest in ourselves.

I've said this over and over again... Do you! It is so important that we love on ourselves, appreciate ourselves, cherish, and yes praise ourselves. I believe that when we do this, we began to change our entire li es because our perception is different.

We have a few more days of 2010 left...just try it on for size and if it fits wear it all year next year.

Clarity

I awoke this morning to an agitation for lack of a better word. So much so, that I couldn't shake it before going into my prayer and meditation for the morning. So with pure integrity in my heart I told God I was basically pissed and exactly why. But while going through my daily ritual my Spirit gently said two things: "you took your eyes off your true self for a moment, and this is just a test. WOW

People please know that when we ask earnestly for things like clarity, we WILL receive it.
Instead of me allowing a situation or thought to continue, God "nipped" it before it got out of control and showed me the spiritual aspect of it...that's powerful!

So today ask for clarification on something, but know that you will get an answer IF you're being honest.

MUAH

Blessing me Right NOW!

Most of us know this song right? “The Lord is bless’in me, right now, OOOOO right now…” Well anyone who reads this please go to Youtube and check out Avery Sunshine’s version of it.

NOW is the part of this song that makes me smile… I realize that NOW is always a current constant. Right Now is always present. Without the constraints or limits of time, NOW is in-between time itself. Now just left, but is back again without change or movement. So Blessing Me Always…without fail, without cause, without transform… just now.

How does that make you feel? While in trails, circumstances, mystery, are we conscious of the now? The blessings of right now? Let’s take a minute and focus on digesting into our systems that “The Lord is Blessing Me, RIGHT NOW”. Traditional Buddhist would consider this as a form of being in a constant meditative state – you’re conscious of every step you take, or aware of every single thought you have. The Bible puts it this way, Always have a prayer in your heart and on your lips.(para-phrase) Imagine the joy we can experience when we concentrate on continued Blessings and not problems.

It’s Wednesday, MAKE IT AWESOME!

MUAH

I’m Encouraged

Yesterday I received a response on here (my blog) that rocked me. I was uncomfortable at the thought that someone would actually think that I, me, Megan McGlover would try to take the Glory away from God. Then I received pure encouragement from those who I didn’t realize I had affected. God is truly good.

I had to realize that when you’re stretching the parameters of thought, consciousness, understanding(s), and awareness you may come up against (should come up against) things that will challenge your own beliefs. O.C. Allen III said in a sermon, “You think you going to get all these blessings and not have to pay for them?” I appreciate God using me as proof of His wonderfully manifested power and LOVE. “Use me, until you use me up.” – for the betterment of myself and those who seek the miraculous-ness of self-empowerment.

I am that I am, and who I am IS an Expression of Love and this reigns true for each and everyone of us. Today remember that winds my blow, but if you’re grounded, they’ll never knock you over.

I love you and thank all of those who Encourage Me.

MUAH!

There is no one BETTER.

I wonder if we can count how many times we’ve heard this - “Be humble there’s always someone better then you in the world.” Or “Not too much, what you can do someone can do better.” How many times have we been told this LIE! Yes, it is a lie. I would like to make a declaration on this beautiful Monday morning… “There is no one better then me, because I’m the ONLY ME.”

Some of us whose parents weren’t very conscious, have been beat over the head with this negative notion that we will never be the best, because there is always a “better” somewhere else. This idea has been the burden and the retardant to our potential… even to the point of being an excuse. (uh oh) Think about it, if you think you’ll never be the best, why try? Why put forth all that energy just to come in second or third? But I’m here to tell you that YOU ARE THE BEST, when you DO YOUR BEST. ”Remember that we are all a different Expression of LOVE (God), and only our unique individuality can translate that particular God-entity.” - MLM (Oh I’m talking good this morning).

So do You, Boo, do YOU. Because you are the best that it gets, when you are truly being yourself. Find out who you are, by focusing on WHAT YOU ARE.
MUAH… Let’s make this week a MAGICAL ONE!

You Gotta Trim the FAT

Some of us may already know this and some may not… All fat ain’t bad. The body actually needs some fat for energy. For example, when a person does not eat, they become very lethargic and drained, because they have no fuel (food). We can not live on fruits and veggies wholly, we also need carbohydrates and protein AND fat. But all fat ain’t good either. Some saturated fats, over processed fats, and chemically altered fats not only cause great weight gain, it can present great danger to your overall health.

Some people are there to help and some people have been over processed by life, negatively altered by their past, and saturated with simply being unnecessary. Some people provide nourishment and some are weighing you down mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and could be physically (if you eat when you’re stressed… think about it). Hence we trim the fat. Now trimming the fat is a very good thing, because you don’t trim it all, just what you don’t need… that excessive waste.

We must realize that our food (our lives) will not loose all flavor (our identity), just because we trim what we were told holds the seasoning (truth)… The meat is what we really need, all else is there for enjoyment.

So if you’re not enjoying your fat, TRIM IT!

MUAH! I love you :0)

Be Grateful for the Dirt

A Lotus flower (which I have tattooed on my arm) grows in mud… not just dirt that you can brush off, but nasty, slushy, stick to you skin until you wash it off, mud. The meaning of this beautiful Lotus in Buddhism is to understand the ongoing-ness of cause and effect AND to know, in simpler terms, you will become a flower even through the mud.

But it seems to me that the mud gets a bad rep. Well what do you mean Megan? I’m so glad that you asked. :0) See, mud is a nutrient, it is the soil, it is the first mothering to your roots. Mud baths can make your skin beautiful, mud can make a hut, mud is the ground work of human flesh (Remember Adam?)… so to bring it around, when we look at mud, the slushiness in our lives, think about what mud is helping us to become.

Respect even the mud in your life, it’s making you grow more rapidly!

Thanks O.C. Allen, III for an amazing Bible service last night.

MUAH BE A BLESSING TO SOMEONE TODAY!

Integrity

One of my favorite songs by Daryl Coley is entitled Integrity.

As I’ve been on this journey to become the fullest Me, the truest Expression of God (Expression is capitalized for a reason… think about it. WHEW), I realized that I have been entrenched with a-whole-lotta pride… and not the good kind. But because this was the cloth I was wrapped in since birth, I’ve had great struggles ridding myself of it and even recognizing its presence (still) in many areas of my life. On Sunday morning I had one of those A-HA moments. People were asked to stand who didn’t may their tithe, now that part wasn’t the issue, it was the next thing, “God I’m praying for their finances, etc…” my pride began roaring like a rabid lion. Then the words, “if there is any place that you should be honest, it’s in the House of God.” Well I stood my self right on up at that point, fighting this dragon of pride within. Thinking to myself, why do I have this much pride STILL!? What’s the problem?

Gently I said to myself, “You’re becoming You, it takes time to be this magnificent.” Surely but SURELY, I’m making changes based on the decision I’ve already made to be my fullest self – embracing all that I find with kindness, compassion, and love.

See I love myself, even the parts I’m changing. Why? Because I know those issues will get changed. I trust myself to be true to myself (Expression), and have faith that whenever I have to fight that lion of pride, I will always win until it is completely destroyed.

Today be completely true to yourself, regardless.

Hey, have a PERFECT day!

Get Accustomed to Heaven

Some believe that we’re living in hell now. Some believe that hell will come after the second advent of Christ, some don’t believe in hell at all. Well I believe in Heaven. I believe that there is a time and space, a transition of consciousness and science, where the mind shifts and within that shift is the gloriousness of LOVE, eternal LOVE.

It can be said that that transitional change is currently occurring. Presently the universe is off kilter transforming and galatically aligning itself for the re-arrival of God. I like to think so are we. That we are off kilter, aligning ourselves for the newness and greatness that is truly us… becoming accustomed to heaven.

See that’s what I want. I don’t want to be completely shocked out of my mind when I get to Heaven, I want to experience some of it now. I want to taste love, real love. I want to chuckle at the stars, embrace time, fly over my past, and converse with God. I want to see everyone’s smile even in grief. I want to bless my blessings, know my ancestors, touch my angels, and be fulfillingly full… NOW.

I’m not going to wait for that great “Gett’in Up Morning”, because I’m UP this morning and today is the day to start becoming accustomed to your greatness. Don’t settle for anything less then what you give. (so give more!)

MUAH

Sometimes You have to Ride an ASS.

Needless to say, I am in-love (passionately) with my Bishop. Yep I said that. I will fight over him.(LOL) Now I see why women fall head over hells and act so ignorant behind a man of God.

When O.C. Allen III said “Sometimes you (Mary) have to ride an ass (donkey) to get to the place (Bethlehem) you need to be in order to birth your blessing (Jesus)”… I thought I was going to literally pass out on the floor. A prophetic word spoken with audacity moves my Spirit! I’m telling you.

Today consider this statement. Recognize the asses in your life and appreciate them, because they are the catalyst assisting you into your next phase of life and it more abundantly. “Literally your perception is more then half the battle… it can be the victory.” - MLM Once you see the asses in your life as victorious hurdles you will have a much better day… trust me.

I’m blessed just to be blessed. MUAH

The Fullest Expression of Myself

When I write in my blog I try to allow God to speak through me, for me, and to me. These blogs are not just a way to encourage others, but it is another form of expression of me. Last night while watching Barbra Walters Special on Oprah Winfrey (who is one of my favorite person’s of all time), she (OW) responded to a question with, “I’m seeking the fullest expression of myself”. I almost passed out! So simplistically profound! DEEP! I almost passed out because that verbiage is always on my lips – expression.

I am a firm believer that we (all) are an individual expression of God. Yes a lot of Christians don’t want to hear that and believe I’m headed in the 5%’ers direction… However I’m sure we all know I don’t care. :0) As I wrote last week, “I am a creation that creates”, we are much more then we may be too afraid to accept. Nevertheless we are still just that great.

I vow to continue seeking fullest expression of myself, accepting all that I see of myself, gracefully, passionately, and loving every single part of who/ what I am.

Have a blessed weekend Ya’ll! MUAH

In the Morning

I can not stress how wonderful it has been for me to have a practice. Every morning, regardless of any circumstances, I sit down write out what I’m grateful for, meditate, pray and listen to a song that fills my heart with a smile. This has changed my life for the better.

I’m sure most of us were taught to pray when we rise and when we go to sleep, but I believe it has become mechanical, don’t you? We’re really not acknowledging, we’re not really dwelling in our moments of petition when we ramble through the same redundant verbiage, are we?

So try something different. I read this somewhere a long time ago, about changing your prayers around. Instead of asking simply thank. Instead of praying for family, be specific and call their names and issues.

Make it a point to honor yourself with a practice of worship, it will make a difference.

MUAH

What to do?

So after you get over that which ailed you, what do you do with the results? Learn from it, grow from it, but don’t punish yourself for it. We tend to slap ourselves around because we’ve “just seen the light”, but that’s ok, because everything happens in due time. Bishop Pearson said something that I will never forget, “death is just a shift in consciousness.” If you believe that or can just acknowledge it, you will see it’s NEVER TOO LATE. Never too late to change, never to late to evolve, never too late to re-choose.

This power of choice thing isn’t only related to “whom you will serve”, it’s a daily on-going internal, eternal manifestation of your truth… Just gotta figure out what that truth is.

Be patient with yourself, be open to change, be YOU.

Love ya!

Know Your Buttons

Can we really get mad at someone for pissing us off? (yes I said pissing… it’s my blog LOL) My answer to this question is No. Energy and vibrations are very real, so when you wear your buttons on your sleeve you might want to expect them getting pushed.

Now what does this mean? GET OVER IT! LOL you didn’t think I was going there huh? Our buttons are simply old wounds that we haven’t allowed to heal. I use the word allowed because natural law wants a wound to heal, whether physical or emotional, but we refute that healing process for fear of loosing our identity, our worth, our significance, whatever it is… whatever the reason… we hold desperately on to that which pains us to even think about. That thought is attracting more attention to the wound, bringing more pain. Bringing more people in, giving even more attention to that sore!

Heal your wounds, Heal your pain, Heal your Spirit! Then no one can tick you off… this is just my thought.

MUAH, Are you having a good day? Well you should be!

Rest

I had what I'd call an emotionally charged saturday and saturday night. Being as sensitive to my emotions as I am, I knew I had to recoop from such a rollercoaster. I remembered a old associate of mine told me that she sleeps alot to keep herself looking young... But I needed it to keep myself sane. So that's exactly what I did...I slept. I didn't turn my ringer down, I turned the phone off! The entire day yesterday was spent relaxing and cuddling myself.
I'm scared to ask how long it's been since you rested... Not relaxed but actually rested.
You may not be able to do that today but please find the time for you... You're no good to anyone if you're not first good to you.

Love ya!!!

Finally Forgiven

In a conversation with a friend last night, my parents came up. My mouth opened and out came, “I was truly blessed with two of thee most talented people in the world. They weren’t perfect but because of them, I’m me and I’m so grateful to God for my parents…” At the time I wasn’t really paying that much attention to what I said, but this morning my eyes filled with tears of joy and pride. I have finally forgiven! We say it all the time don’t we? “Oh I forgave that person, blah, blah” But Oprah said forgiveness is what? The moment you no longer wish things had been different to begin with. As I type the tears are streaming down my face because I wouldn’t have my life be any other way.

Remember it’s not the trails, it’s the journey. It’s not the test, it’s His Love. What a wonderful blessing to be free from regret.

Thanks Mommy and Daddy!

Have a blessed day!

The Creator Creates

I really feel like being down-in-the-dumps today, but can’t… crap! When I woke up this morning, I just put my head down and sighed, then I remembered who I am and what I am. I am a creation that can creates! I create my happiness, my joy, my peace, my love, my day. And at that moment the crabby-feast ceased and I was back to rejoicing (reluctantly, LOL).

When I went into my prayer and meditation followed by my practice of gratitude, I was no longer able to blame, sob, sigh, shrug… whatever... at this glorious morning, I could only say thank you and be responsible for what I do with my day. We are creating whether we know it or not.

So what will you create today? Pay attention, you’re doing it to yourself. Oouch!

MUAH!

Give it up turn it loose.

I sat with some friends of mine and my Spirit sobbed at the tumultuous atmosphere that had been created. While sitting and listening I said to myself, “Wow I’ve got to pray over this.” As the night progressed things became even more grim and I simply felt heavy. But this morning while doing my morning practice, while praying for them, I said, literally, “God, You may have this problem, done!” and I didn’t say another word. (pertaining to that). Instantly I felt relieved and satisfied. I like that, satisfied. Because I know for a fact that God heard me and is more then willing to take that on.

Giving up that which ails you does not mean that you don’t care, it means you care about YOU. We can all say we have something that we need to give up and turn loose… What are you waiting for?

MUAH!

Be anxious for nothing…

Now I get it. I never really liked that verse when I was younger because I didn’t understand it. As I got older, I just ignored the verse because I didn’t like it. LOL Then this morning as I was meditating and being very honest with myself and God about a situation, I realized that because I was anxious to get something else, I wasn’t really able to be genuinely grateful for what I JUST RECEIVED YESTERDAY! See this is why God owns a cattle on a thousand hills, but He’s very cautious about spoiling His kids. I used the word able for a reason. It’s almost like a mathematical equation, you can not be grateful while desperately wanting something else, you will come up with a false answer. (I’m taking a math class in school and it’s consuming me. LOL).

This text is not about patience, it’s about standing in the midst of thankfulness at ALL TIMES. I’m receiving this teaching right now.

Be grateful Megan, even when you know more blessings are coming… let them come, but saturate yourself in the abundance of now.

HEY YOU, Have an AWESOME day!

LET IT GO!

Those three words will change your life. I sat in the presence of a prolific power by the name of Bishop Carlton Pearson who brought forth a word that was so thorough you had to keep standing up so things wouldn’t fly over your head. Amongst a large assortment of prophetic things that he said, he, towards the end of the sermon, focused on letting things go. LET IT GO! He then touched on something I wrote about a couple of days ago… Loving yourself.

When you begin to love yourself your perspective of you changes, your perspective of circumstances changes, and what you allow changes. You realize that you no longer need to be validated by the drama surrounding your life. But you wont realize this until you see your worth… then you WILL LET IT GO.

Let’s try it today, right now, even if you’re a guy, hug yourself and say I LOVE AND FORGIVE YOU. I almost cry every time I do… must mean I was very hard on myself… wow that’s deep.

Love ya!

Proud of Me

In my meditation this morning I realized I am PROUD of myself. Ok so this should not have shocked me the way did, right? I mean we should be proud of ourselves if nothing else. But in most cases we aren’t apart of our own fan club. The humility we were taught in church has a tendency to overshadow confidence, pressing down firmly on our self-worth with the text, “the meek shall inherit thee earth.” I in all my boldness, have felt that pressure, not realizing that it was suppressing my potential. It is ok to be proud of who I am, what I am and what I’ve already become, because it simply gets greater later.

Each one of us has something to be PROUD of, so pat yourself on the back. Congratulate those good yet difficult decisions. Give yourself a hug, and say aloud, “I love you and what you do for me.” That feeling will blow your mind once it sets in.

Happy Day After Thanksgiving. :0)

“I just, I can’t, I just, can’t be…”

“I just, I can’t, I just, can’t be…”

I’m not the biggest P-Diddy fan on earth by NO stretch, but this song does it for me! He’s speaking of a relationship he was in and how he loved the person more then he loved himself and he just can’t do it anymore… but the concept of the song is sooo deep! Well look it is to me. :0) “Anything that you love more then you love yourself is a Dangerous Infactuation. Money, sex, drugs, fame, whatever it is…when you let your Spirit lay way-side to that which you find so dauntingly provocative, you spit in the face of your own existence.” – MLM quote.

Life is a journey, not a trial. Regardless of what you’ve heard, trials come but they are not to be the foundational component of your faith. Faith is NOT an overwhelming test of your love for God. (as we say in church, I’m talking real good). Faith is the PROOF of God’s love for you. OOOOO SHOOT! Come on now.

So when you look face to face at that which you love more then you love yourself, weigh it against the love your KNOW God has for you… If you don’t know what that equates to, grab a piece of paper and write down all you’re grateful for… you’ll get the idea.

Be Quiet and Listen

I’ve only met him once, and he is a friend of a friend… therefore I don’t know him. I handed him my business card, which I graphically designed myself and he turned his face up so much, that he looked like another person, the words, “I’m not feel’in it” was all that came out of his mouth. From that moment I realized, he was yet another person placed in my life for a Divine Intervention/ Interaction. This acquaintance has turned into an advisor literally overnight and I’m more then merrier for it. The product is the proof in the pudding… remember I told you that.

There are times when we think… we just know that what we have is crim-dela-crumb… and at times it very well could be. But there are others when it is NOT! This was one of my times, and I pray God will continue to put people in my life that will fix those “NOT” moments. As much as I liked my cards, I was able to listen with an open and humble heart to what this man had to say. I was not ashamed that my feelings were hurt, nor were they hurt long. Again, when you’re on the path of your PURPOSE, your ego learns to take a back seat, if it wants to stay in the car. (OHHHH that sounds like a MLM quote!)

I’m a woman so I know we have a lot on our minds that we want to express, but when we listen, when we truly shut up and listen the goddess in us shines so fervently, that we no longer need to speak… our beauty makes the point! (another quote… I’m on FIRA!)

Let’s quiet our Spirits and listen today…. Shhhh “God is try’na tell you something.”

MUAH!

Compassion

O.C. Allen, III said, "You don't know what it cost to be me." Ouch! In other words, you really don't know what someone is going through. What they show you could be just that, a show. The fact of the matter is that walking a mile in someone's shoes, is only one mile in a LIFE-LONG MARATHON.

When we hear the word compassion we often associate it with pity, needing the full details of a person's life, but l like to think of compassion, like we think of faith... sight unseen. Compassion for our brothers and sisters should be a given, it should come with being a "whatever you call yourself".

"Love-on" somebody today, don't ask... just do. Trust me, the love you get in return is exactly what YOU NEEDED.

HEY have a BLESSED DAY! MUAH

Don't ask for Clarity and keep your eyes closed.

While speaking to one of my most Spiritually evolved friends we embarked on this phenomenon. Why would you ask for clarity and keep your eyes closed. How many times have we asked for someting to be revealed and at the moment of revelation we turn a blind eye to truth?

It is important that we heed to that which we not only pray for but receive as lessons. Spirit presents wisdom all around us, but what are we doing with it? I'm learning everyday to learn everyday.

Be blessed. MUAH

Do you cuss when you pray?

LOL! I was talking to a friend of mine last night and I told him, “I’ve learned to be really real when I talk to God.” If you can’t be real with Him, then you’re not even being real with yourself. This is a great controversy among “christians”, but I think I’m on to something here. Some would say that it’s irreverent, well I say it’s all about context. If I’m in the midst of a trail and in pure frustration I go to God, it is then that His ear is really turned towards me, because I’m at my most sincere point. Same can be said in the midst of praise and joy. When we are at a peck of emotion, God is right there and He already knows what you’re thinking, so you mind-as-well, be YOU.

That’s just my thought. My relationship with God changed when I realized we are related. WOW that was deep…. Ya’ll missed that one.

Listen, have a WONDERFUL DAY! And Blessed weekend. See you Monday! MUAH

Who is Your God?

My friend told me today that when he woke up this morning he heard, “Stop telling God how big your problems are, tell your problems how BIG your God is.” Powerful words that we should live by, right? But I tweaked it just a little, tell your problem WHO your God is.

See I think that we have a tendency of making other things our god which inevitably becomes our problem(s). If you look at a situation that you’re dealing with, research back just a little bit, I’m sure that we will all discover that there was a fork in the road, where we made a choice based on our wants and Idol-I-listic (I just made that up) ideas. For example your love life is shoot (now), and when you look back, you’ll see how you kept choosing the wrong type of person (then), because they “fit” your certain criteria… but when you look around and think things over… you see that your criteria (how they look, how much money they had, etc…) was not based on love but on, something else (your idol). Right?

So today we’re in the midst of a problem, tell it that it is no longer the vocal point of your existence. Tell it that your decisions will now be based on Love, not greed. Tell it WHO your God really is.

BOOM! Have an awesome day folks!

Divine Intentions lead to Divine Interventions

GOOD MORNING! WOW I am truly having some divine appointments in my life these days. It seems like everyone I meet is specifically placed in my life and I in theirs. We all have things in common that we couldn’t make up and certainly would not have expected. This morning when I wakened to yet another beautiful day here in ATL, I thought to myself, this is DIVINE… this is really divine.

I realized that once I realized my passion, combined it with my purpose, then backed it with good intentions… the universe simply aligned. WOW indeed!
Divine Intentions lead to Divine Interventions, trust me. Today, this week, the rest of the year, pray of what your goals are, what they should be, your purpose and your intentions…. Then MOVE ON IT… ROCK the rest of 2010 like a Cali Quake!

Hoarding

While flipping through the channels last night I came across a episode of hoarders. This is not my first time watching it but it was the first time I noticed a dreadful question... What are we hoarding? What are we holding onto and collecting in our lives? Is it food, is it memories, is it wishes and hopes that things could've or should've been different? This collection of stuff eventually becomes waste, weighing us down, keeping us stuck.

Let's start cleaning up today. Throw away all that stuff, it wont help your tomorrow.

I CHOOSE!

“Nothing is going to happen unless I choose it” – India Irie writes in her song I Choose, one of my favorites written by her. She speaks about not allowing her past to define her, not bringing that past into her future and not basing her current situation of her past experiences – Good Stuff!

This song reminds of what I did when I moved to Atlanta, almost two months ago, I got rid of EVERYTHING except clothes, dishes, car, motorcycle and my Bella… all furniture, fixtures, grief, pain, anxiety, and history was left behind. I’m under new management… MYSELF! I choose, not my past… my RIGHT NOW!

Choose who you want to be and be that.

Workout Daily

Just like our physical bodies, our minds need exercise daily. It has been a goal of mine for a few months now to do something daily with my mind, whether it’s reading, writing in my BLOG, doing memory exercises or trying to learn and use a new word… whatever it is I try to stretch the perameters of my mind everyday. Perhaps it is a new concept that we should consider, a new idea that we should really think about, or even refraining from negative talk for 24-hours.

Whatever it is, let’s try to some core development in our minds… we just might be stronger then we thought.


Be awesome!

STRETCH!

When you become complacent you become stiff, this is true for every aspect of life. When you don’t reach for your goals, you stay at that level of unachievment. When we don’t aim high, we remain in a low life condition. When we don’t stretch… we shrivel up and die.

Every morning, STRETCH. Jump out of your bed, touch your toes, lean to one side then the other, reach up to the heavens and pull down today’s gifts.

STRETCH out of your comfort zone.

Be Awesome today… you deserve it. MUAH

Forgive Yourself

“Well Megan you sound ridiculous.” Do I? We are our worst critic and we can sometimes treat ourselves like a man on the street. When we make mistakes that have lasting affects (like marrying the wrong person, being in a bad relationship for years, gaining a lot of weight and being heavy for years) these type of mistakes can have a very lasting affect on our lives and leave us saying, “I can’t believe how much time I’ve wasted.” That comment is dangerous. All we can do is recognize our bad choices, evaluate why we made them at that time and simply make a NEW DECISION.

Forgive yourself TODAY don’t think about the past anymore.

Have GREAT DAY

NO MORE DISTRACTIONS

My goodness the world is busy. Remember the movie “Shawshank Redemption”? One of the prisoners named Brooks was finally released from prison after being there about 60 years. One of his first comments was, “The world has went and got itself in a damn hurry.” It’s in a hurry and full of commotion, disturbances and interruptions that cause us to loose sight of what’s really real… and what’s our real purpose. I recognized how distracted I got yesterday and had to forgive myself this morning (wow I beat myself up about this one…we’ll discuss forgiving ourselves tomorrow). I didn’t do something that I certainly should have done, placing someone else in a compromising position… ARGH that really sucked. BUT I was able to see that and accept my responsibility in the matter.
Powerful words to live by.

Don’t allow distractions to take you off your mark, and if you have like I recently did, GET YO BUTT BACK ON THAT HORSE!... and ride it into your glorious light! DO IT!

Have a great day!

Believe in Your Vision

If you don't believe in it, what makes you think people are going to rally up and support you? Some of the happiest people on this planet are the ones that had the craziest idea, and went with it. They’re the ones that had wild imaginations, thoughts and fantasies, they ones who had a strong passion for something never done before.

We have been given gifts, all of us and we owe it to ourselves to use them in the fulfillment of our daily joys… don’t you agree? Moses said a people without a Vision will perish… I say a people who have a vision but don’t believe in it are just walking in circles for 40 years!

Have a GREAT DAY!

I got a feel'in...

Ledisi has a song that fills my face with a smile. She sings in her full voice, "I gotta feel'in that today's my day... Going my way..." I've made it a point to play that song every morning this entire week and honey let me tell you, I haven't won the lotto but my attitude has been uplifted.
What would happen to your attitude if you started it off with a song in your heart?

Try it next week. Find the song that makes you happy and listen to it while you brush your teeth or get the kids ready.
It just might make a difference.
Have an awesome weekend!

Generational Curse

Is it still a curse when you’re clear on exactly what’s going on? When you aware of the issues that have been passed down from generation to generation; is it still a curse or now a personal challenge? Aunty O says, “when you know better you do better.” I agree with this, however I also believe that in everyone’s life there’s a fork in the road and at that defining moment you decide to be that abusive parent, just like your father, choose to be a drug addict just like your mother, OR you say NO I’m not going to continue this generational curse… it will not find life in mine.

We all have our stories to tell, and as it is said, “we all come from dysfunction”, but I ask you, WHAT WILL YOU DO ABOUT IT?

Don’t let the pink elephant stay in the room next to your children’s bunk-beds… fix it now so they wont have to later.

WHIP YOUR HAIR!

Ellen Degeneres asked 10 year-old Willow Smith what it means to “whip your hair”, she responded (with one hand on her hip and the other in the air), “It means I’m doing me and that’s it, so…” At the tender age of 10 she knows just how important it is to be YOU and not care what others might think. This is a valuable lesson that I learned within these past few years. Living this life is hard enough, but existing for the approval of others is simply unbearable.

Be you today… just try it out for size, if you don’t like you, well you can always go back to ummmm whoever you are.

Be Blessed, MUAH

What's Your True Calling?

My Aunty O (Oprah Winfrey) has this question on the cover of her magazine for this month. What is your calling? I can finally say that at this point in my life I know what it is, and with that knowing has come a sense of purpose and drive. This life confirmation doesn't have to be a religious thing; we were not all meant to be pastors, thank God... But we are all meant to be "a something".

Take the time out to think about your real reason for getting up out of the bed everyday... It just might make your mornings alot easier.

Have an awesome day!

What’s the Cure?

Many times we find ourselves with an ailment that literally debilitates us mentally, emotionally, physically and Spiritually. A story was told of a man who laid on the porch of the CURE (hospital) for 38 years and never went inside to be healed. He had every excuse in the world, why he was unable to go that extra two steps to freedom. Finally, one day, Wisdom came by and asked him, “Are you READY for your healing?”

That question caused the man to self reflect; “Am I pitting myself?, Do I actually like being sick?, What am I even sick from?” When he was able to really look at himself and answer these questions he was FREED!

What is the cure for the illness you’ve been holding on to for decades? Whatever it is the answer is in your DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

MUAH, have an awesome day.

Birds of a Feather.

A female preacher once said, "If you want to fly with the eagles, you must stop walking with the pigeons." WOW! Who's the pigeon in your life? We all have or have had someone/something in our lives holding us back... keeping us from our greatest potential. It is time to try out our wings. Fly high into your imagination, grasp your wildest dreams into the clutches of your hand, and count your blessings.

You're worth more then just the noise you make on a brick roof-top.

Think about it.....

Freedom to be...

MUAH

I'm coming out

Do you hold your religion above God? Wait now, think about that before you answer. What I'm asking is, do you do things during the week that the people at your church don't know about? Why Megan what do you mean? God knows what we do everyday and if it's about God then why do we stop when we go to church? Seems to me that our religion is being held at a higher standard then our personal relationship with He who we're going to worship.

Im coming out of that hypocritical way of living. Being in the closet does not hide you from you. Whatever that closet contains, set it free!

Freedom to be...

DE-Stress your life

Most don’t really believe in DE-STRESS’ing…. I’m a firm believer of it. If it’s causing you grief, learn the lesson from the experience and move on. Learning the lesson is the hardest thing, especially if you’re not open to that lesson being about a personal flaw… in your character. But when we are open to it, we can begin the DE-stress journey.

For those of us that need lessons over and over again (hard-headed like me), we take ourselves through unnecessary pain and grief, because we are simply being stubborn. Take it from me, give up whatever makes you cry… those are not tears of joy.

MUAH!

Free to be…

I've Moved OUT...

My dear childhood friend (Jeri Ann Austin) sang this song and Good Sam many many years ago and it always stuck with me. "I've moved out to a brand new life". The Bible tels us to work while it's day, so whatever you're waiting on, I suggest you wait NOT!

Moving to a new state has really given me a better perspective on taking care of business, my love ones, and MYSELF.

Move out to your brand new life today, don't wait for him, her, that, them, or even your children to go to college.... MOVE NOW! Don't be comfortable in your discomfort, it will become your NORMAL!

MUAH!

A Side Note...

Letting go of something or someone may seem heart-breakingly unbearable... BUT then days go by and you realize what was once for you, simply no longer fits. As more time goes by, the awareness of that thing or person's existence in your life was for a reason, (that it took you this long to get, not a season and certainly not a lifetime, all of the unnecessary turmoil you endured unveils its purpose.

"Through pain and suffering..." Buddhist believe that through pain and suffering you grow you, you succeed. So go through that hard time, let those tears fall, so that you can reach the other side.

I Am that I AM

There are a few quotes, stories, examples... whatever word you want to use, in the Bible that I really like, one of which is God response to Moses... "I AM that I AM" Powerful right? Just writing it makes me shiver. In my uncle's book "Go On!" He gives a thorough explanation of this statment, here is an excerpt;
"The name "I AM THAT I AM" reflects the nearness and availability of God, and that is the fact that it is spoken in what the Hebrews labeled the causative case. In the final analysis, the universe has only two kinds of existence: self-existence and created existence. It is, of course, the former by which God here portrays HImself, and it is not just self-existence but creative existence that is implied as well." - Calvin B. Rock

I am that I am always gave me power to be, simply BE who I AM, because He that lives in Us is greater, am I right?! This simplistically complex statement gives us the right to upfront and personal with Who and What we really are... and be OK with it. Ofcourse our daily journey is to grow and be better then we were yesterday... but you know what I'm saying. :0)

Giving and Receiving

Next week let's GIVE! Give a compliment, a smile, a flower, a kind word. The entire week... let's just give!

"Every relationship is one of give and take. Giving engenders receiving, and receiving engernders giving... In reality, receiving is the same thing as giving, because giving and receiving are different aspects of the flow of energy in the universe. And if you stop the flow of either, you interfere with nature's intelligence." - Deepak Chopra

WOW! We are interfereing with the Universal Law (just like the laws of gravity" when we don't continue the natural flow of giving and receiving. We water does not flow it becomes clogged and stagnate, therefore when we're not in constant movement of GIVE and TAKE we are spoiling our life expereince.

"Give and it will come back to you, good measure press down shaken together and running over"

Never Give Up!

I've been through WORSE and now know that giving up is not an option. I've also realized that what we have in our lives we called in (the law of attraction) however let us not forget who we WERE when we called in those reflections.

Through study, practice and faith we can change who we are into the beakons of light we want to become and truely are.

"Please never turn your back on your faith. Courage is crucial. There is no room for faintheartedness in faith. The timid doom themselves to ridcule from thie partners, from their children from their friends and from the world at large..." - Daisaku Ikeda

Today's thoughts...

Some stuff happened today which I will fill you in on in just a view. But I wanted to share a couple of other thoughts that are tearing at my mind right now:

Firstly, I posted something on my Facebook page which consist of people getting something for FREE and I havn't had much response. Is it because it's about health and fitness? Are people that afraid of working out?

Secondly, is it just me or are people seriously more selfish now then they were before? What I mean by that is, why do people think they can take and take without giving anything?

Lastly,
I went to traffic court today and was told I owe $1004.00 of which I told them I can not and WILL NOT pay that (the ticket was for improper helmet and alternated exhaust on my motorcycle)... the proceeded to tell me my other option is 87 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE AND still have to pay $325.00.... you gotta love this state. Go Arnold and Antonio! You guys are doing a bang up job!

Today's Joy

I’ve been granted the great privlege of assiting people in their journey of greater health, weightloss, emotional-eating control, and overall SELF-achievment! The ride just begun and I must say I’m joyously looking forward to the journey ahead.

I said to the Universe, “Universe I want to be a Professional/ Personal Trainer. I want to bring truth and power, deligence and disciplince, encouragement and compassion to those in need of nutrientous and fitness counsel… and BOOM the windows of heaven bust forth at the seams pouring out blessings that room to receive them is becoming scarce.

What a joy to be in the midst of blessing someone else (others) while being blessed! What a joy to reflect to others the love of Truth, Inspiration and Worthiness, while seeing that same reflection in their tears of accomplishment. What a joy to finally be ME!

I’m writing in my blog today because I’m ready. I’m writing because I’m FREE. I’m writing because I want YOU TO BE in the midst of joy, unshakled and dangling by the branches of Freedom’s root.

So to you all I’m saying GET IN SHAPE. Do whatever you need to do to change your potential into reality. Make it HAPPEN TODAY!

Hello WORLD

Hello WORLD!,

My goodness, where have you been? I'm sorry it was I that was lost in the delusions of life's mysteries, its turmoils and unadvised eventful journeys... for this I say, "I apologize". I apologize LIFE, because I'm never sorry. You've granted me the blessing of knowing, the knowledge of wisdom, the blessing of simply being, so why would I apologize to the life of which I breathe? Why would I doubt the certainty that has been given, the assurance that has been assured? I won’t, I never will again… for I AM the blessed peace withstanding, the running over, the agape’s expression, I am the joy of that which I dream… I am its evolution…. Am I not?

I’ve always said, “It is my reality that counts”… therefore my joy, my hopes, my dreams are actualized through me… Yep, the same goes for you too.

I learned to grieve today. I cried for reasons I was unsure. I released myself to the feelings internal without inhabitation or judgment. I actually released myself into my feeling. NO, I did not evolve into a Buddha, but I did realize that it’s ok. It’s ok to feel, to be ME. WOW… I’m 32 and just now being me…. Completely.
