Dear Self

           Develop and Build Good Character – work on yourself, to put in yourself the character traits necessary for a good society. - Mama Bello 



 Dear Self

I apologize to you for all the times that I did not give you grace.

I apologize for not listening to the still small voice that you use to guide me when I am unsure or when I am in danger.

I apologize to you for giving my all to others  even when I have nothing to give and thinking it was love.

I apologize to you for not setting boundaries, for saying Yes when I wanted to, needed to say NO.

I apologize to you for doing more and more for others when they have shown me that they are giving less and less - or even when they have asked me to stop doing - thinking it was making sacrifices for the relationship to last and grow.

I apologize for blaming you when all you needed was for me to stop, accept and surrender.

I apologize to you for staying to long, for allowing you to be used.

I apologize for not living my truth for the fear of rejection.

I apologize to you for the choice I made to do anything to win.

I apologize to you for accepting crumbs and not speaking up

I apologize to you for not asking for what I want, for what I need.

I apologize to you for hiding my true feelings in order to keep the peace.

I apologize to you for not resting when you gave me all the signs that I must rest.

I apologize, dear Self

I am sorry, I love you, I believe you. Thank you for having patience and never giving up on me. It ends today, we are in this thing together from this day forward.

Peace and Blessings

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...

What Does Support Look Like to You?

  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...
