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.

MUAH

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.
