There’s a difference between wanting something and being ready for it.

There’s a difference between wanting something and being ready for it. Ebonee Davis




There was a particular book that I was searching for on the bookshelf, as I was going through the shelf, a small red and black notebook fell out and onto the ground. When I saw it, I screamed out, this must be a sign and had me a good chuckle. This was a red and black notebook that I kept right after leaving University. I would write in it when  I  rode the London Underground from work in Soho Square  to the hairdresser in Tooting. Anything I found inspirational I would jot down the contents and read it hoping that one day I would live a life that will inspire myself. Seeing the book brought me to the present moment - I felt proud, I do inspire myself- I admit that I am not perfect, make poor choices, stupid ones even, I fall down. I still felt proud because back then I did not believe that I would inspire myself to achieve the goals I set out for myself, and live a full life. I am doing that now, I am living a life that I can safely say that is one that I can be proud of myself. I act in a kind, thoughtful way, I do my best and I move toward loving myself daily.

What have you declared in your life?

I want to share one of the writings from the black and red notebook. 

No matter what is happening in your relationships, fear nothing and no one

When you walk with the consciousness of the Creator there is nothing to fear

Do not fear people will threaten you.

Do not fear people will harm or threaten.

Do not fear obstacles that confront you.

Have no fear of harm to your body or possessions, you are walking with the strong arm of the law. 

Do not fear disapproval.

Do not fear criticism.

Do not fear judgement.

Know that the only energy that has any power in your life is the gift of the breath of God

Do not fear darkness

Do not fear separation and divorce

Do not fear being alone

Do not fear being cast aside

When you walk with the Master, you are in the best company available

Peace and Blessings

30 Things I Believe

What is being of service? Looking upon another human being with kindness and compassion and not judgement is a profound act of service and though such a form of service lacks for whistles and bells, this expression of “service” comes from truly understanding the power of your soul and what it means to “look upon another with eyes of grace.” Carolyn Myss 1.

What Does Support Look Like to You?

Image
  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe

Redefinition of Lose

Rather than think about what you have to do to change a situation, consider what the situation might be doing to change you. How it might be seasoning and transforming and growing you. You are not responsible for everything and everyone. Allow that as a possibility. Jessica Dore There are some situations that are simply in your life showing you how to shift, how to be flexible, to grow, to transform. You long for change, yet you cling so to the familiar. You are so afraid of what you think you will lose. You are even afraid to lose the things you don't want. The familiar becomes your family, regardless of what it is. let's redefine "lose" I define lose as opening up to a new possibility The day I stopped saying that I lost my house, lost my marriage, lost my mind, things shifted for me The shift has to start inside How we define and relate to the circumstances in our lives transforms how we act. I started asking myself different question
