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!
