I don’t forget where I’ve been. And I certainly cannot fathom where I’m going. But what I do know is 2016 has been an amazing year for me. Of course, we all have lost some major influences in our lives ( I say that as I lay backand listen to Sign O’the Times), but I’ve had to press on.

One of the major lessons I will take with me into 2017 is “Trust the Plan”. It’s not all about what it looks like but what we can look past. 

The Vibes don’t lie!  

Embrace the next 2 days. Make peace with all that has come this year. Understand the plan. Know, trust, and BELIEVEthat before the clock strikes 12 in 2 days, you will be on your way to greatness! 

This is my morning meditation moment. I’m trying to keep my anxiety between a 3 to non-existence. I still miss my mother’s traditional holiday celebration. (She transcended more than 20 years ago.) 

I am very thankful and grateful for my mate who helps me instead of hindering me throughout this season. 

This excerpt is taken from the book:

I’m on page 5, and I had to stop to write about it.  

Story of MY LIFE!!! 

No matter how much you want to believe it,  there’s no magical book,  saying,  friend,  or place that will get you there.  To get somewhere requires a journey!  

Just because you see me now does not give you insight on how I got to HERE.  I’m still doing my homework and being tested daily.  I will tell you :

The only way to get go happiness is to take the journey and prepare for the bumps and potholes and winding curves along the way! 

I don’t have any advice.  What I do have are observations,  what-ifs,  and parrottry (where I repeat what you said so you can hear your words.)  

Don’t take my journey as your map.  Use it as a guide but know some of the landmarks sure won’t be the same.  

One of my Queen-friend’s post reminds me that so many times we’re waiting for some NOUN to be GREAT!  Nah, I don’t buy it.  Ya better get naked before GOD (the most HIGH)  and be broken so you can be rebuilt in purpose!  Get THIS and get it down in you.  You are a new creation.  It’s time to walk in divine greatness for your purpose.  

Of course,  your praise and meditation won’t be anything like mine because our paths are different, but I  KNOW  & BELIEVE that yours can and WILL be changed,  too.

One thing I love to do, and I have been doing since I can remember, is dance.  I dance for all types of reasons, and they all feel good to my soul. I do not care whom I am with or where. I can be at your best friend’s party or at a funeral. I will dance in the rain. I will dance under the moon. I will even dance in the sunshine on the most humid day. I dance to get warm. I will dance up a sweat. I.LOVE.TO.DANCE.

When the mood hits me, I move.

I did not say that I am the best dancer or I knew how to dance. See, me, I dance in a trance. It is my true-form of expression of love and life. The feeling of the strongest yet most gentle spirit enters me and put any form of self-doubt to sleep to let the most innocent parts of me move freely.

And recently, I acknowledged that is what is missing from my life: I don’t dance anymore. I don’t feel as free. I feel trapped sometimes, and I know it’s because I no longer put forth the energy to do something that has made me and shaped me and kept me at my center.

What about you?

Are you dancing?

 

On a rainy, cold day, I find peace and happiness.

Deep within me, I know that it is okay to change your mind and heart about things that you were once so adamant about. It’s called growth. It’s called maturity. It’s called wisdom.

That’s how you receive your balance: you continue to take inventory of the personal effects that all NOUNS have on YOU.

Of course, the waves won’t always be calm, but they sure shouldn’t continuously be rocky either.  If you feel a shift in energy or health, just know that some THING is speaking to the most sanctimonious sector within you. It is telling you that you are out of balance and need to re-think and re-group.

Again, I say:

Protect your energy and watch the vibes that you receive.
