What did I learn today? Lessons on the Journey to Unconditional Self Love

Affirmation: I have what it takes to do hard things, and I move through this world as a child of the Most High — guided, held, and equipped. This morning’s meditation brought a truth back to the surface — one I’ve known, forgotten, and rediscovered many times. It whispered: When we forget ourselves, when we don’t know who we are, our choices reflect that. When we remember that we are Divine, our choices reflect that too. It landed differently today. Maybe because I’ve seen what forgetting looks like. The shrinking. The doubt. The choices made from fear instead of fullness. But remembering — that’s a whole other life. Being Divine isn’t about perfection. It’s knowing I already have what it takes to do hard things. It’s knowing courage lives in me. It’s remembering I am a child of the Most High, created with intention, equipped with strength, and held by grace. When I live from that place, everything shifts. My mistakes don’t define me. My reactions soften. My choices expand. My response...

Affirmation I honour my feelings, trust my boundaries, and welcome every experience as guidance. I release what no longer serves me and make space for love, clarity, and growth. I am becoming more grounded, more courageous, and more myself every day. Today at the market, I got a reminder I didn’t ask for and definitely didn’t want. A random vendor called me over and asked about someone I severed ties with almost three years ago. He shared updates, good news, casual conversation—but inside, I felt myself tighten. Annoyance washed over me so quickly it made me physically ill. And then came the self‑judgment: Why am I reacting like this? Why does this still bother me? By the time I got back to the car, I was spiraling. I did something I haven’t done in ages—I went on social media to “check up.” That was a mistake. It always is. But even in the middle of that spiral, something in me paused. I took a breath. I reached for the toolkit I’ve been building: breathe, watch your self‑talk, rememb...

  Affirmation : “Enoughness lives in me, and I rise from it daily.” I really thought I had this “enoughness” thing figured out. I believed I had done the work — the deep, uncomfortable, liberating work — to recognize my own innate worth. The kind of worth that doesn’t wobble when someone questions you, or when life throws its curveballs, or when the world tries to convince you that you need to be more, do more, shrink more, fix more. I thought I had reached the place where no one could tell me I wasn’t enough — not even me. But life, in its fierce and tender love, has a way of circling back with reminders. It whispers. Then it nudges. Then it taps you on the shoulder. And if you still don’t pay attention, it raises its voice. Not to punish, but to guide. Life will do whatever it takes to get our attention. The question is whether we’re willing to listen. Recently, I realized I had slipped — quietly, subtly — back into old patterns of “not enoughness.” It didn’t happen in one dramat...

 Affirmation:  I embrace my journey with honesty and strength, knowing that transformation begins with a single brave choice.  There’s a certain kind of person who stirs something deep in me — not because their life was smooth, but because it wasn’t. I’m most inspired by the ones who turned their lives around, who listened to that invisible tug inside whispering, “There’s more for you.” The ones who took their pain, their rejection, their early losses, and shaped something beautiful out of it. That kind of courage is what I’m learning to embody. And somehow, Telescope brought all of that into sharp focus for me. Walking through the community, listening to stories, watching the youth step into leadership, I kept feeling this quiet truth: transformation is not abstract here. It’s lived. It’s practiced. It’s earned. This part of Telescope is a place where people have had every reason to give up, yet they choose to rise — again and again. Then I met Mr. Mikey. A man who once ...

  In its quest for success,Nothing stands in man′s way.Old rivers run dry, soon the birds wouldn't fly.  The mountains will be no longer high.And when I really think of it.I does wonder why, oh why - King Austin  This past month, I’ve been moving through the remote corners of a few Caribbean islands — the places where the road narrows, the signal drops, and life returns to its original pace. Every day has felt like a soft reminder of what abundance actually looks like. Mangoes falling freely. Rivers running clear. Beaches that aren’t curated or branded, just lived with. Trees that feed, shade, heal, and hold stories. People here still use the land as part of their lifestyle — not as an aesthetic, not as a weekend escape, but as a way to eat, to heal, to live. And it has been such a joy to witness. But alongside that joy, I’ve been noticing something else: a quiet, persistent rush to “modernize.” A desire to trade natural remedies for packaged pills, fresh fruit for impo...

  The currents of life will not be halted by our impatience There’s a line I came across once — I can’t remember where — but it has stayed with me l: the currents of life will not be halted by our impatience. Everything, from the simplest seed to the most extraordinary transformation, follows a process. Even the things that look quick, effortless, or “overnight” have a hidden architecture beneath them. Something was forming, stretching, aligning long before we ever saw the result. Yet impatience convinces us otherwise. It crowds out sane judgment. It stirs anxiety. It throws us into a panic — sometimes quietly, sometimes dramatically — but always with the same effect: we lose our center. The truth is, developing patience is a skill. A discipline. A practice. And like all practices, it asks something of us. Patience is not just waiting. It’s how you wait. It’s what you do in the meantime. It’s the posture of your spirit while the thing you desire is still becoming. To wait well requ...
