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

Heartfelt gratitude is a key to abun- dance. It unlocks the great resources of the Universe. Diana Cooper Usually when I have book events there are people around me who assist me and allow me to focus on just that, showing up and doing what I am supposed to do! When I am out of Trinidad I have two people on "Team Akosua" In Trinidad, "Team Akosua" is different I ask my mother and my aunt and other members of my family. For this upcoming book they are all out of the country and truth be told I was panicking before I sat still and asked the Universe to guide and calm me down.  Just as I did that I was guided to my Goddess friend Erica. I asked her for her assistance and boom! Its a whole new "Team Akosua"! Listen, the Universe never ever ever leaves a void, it is also self correcting! When something leaves your life, something enters and usually it is something just as or even more awesome, once you pay attention and are open and willing! There is ...

Life becomes stagnant when people protect their stored issues - Michael Singer What are the rules you have or have been given about living and life? And do you know why you have or were given these rules? Some of my house rules growing up were: "No, we don't speak about that around your father" " Our family are strict Catholics, there will be no going to small church" "Women and men have special roles" I never ever thought about why these were the house rules! I never even questioned them. They were automatic, passed down and really,they were law in the house and the tribe! When someone asked why, like my brave cousin who was very outspoken, there was no answer or it was its just the way things are done round here! There is never ever one way to live, nope sorry there isn't and I have learnt that if you live by some of these 'rules"  it may allow for little or no joy, enthusiasm, spontaneity and excitement that is a hell o...

I know that a relationship built on love feels GO OD. It should bring you joy- not just some time but most of the time. It should never require losing your voice, your self-respect, or your dignity. And whether you are 25 or 65, it should involve bringing all of who you are to the table- and walking away with even more- Oprah Winfrey Confessions on the journey- I am angry and disappointed in myself, I really am! Why? I have been ignoring signs, not paying attention to my gut feelings, settling for less than I know I deserve and encouraging bad behavior! Why? Fear. Plain and simple! and a bit of bad habits as well.  I am disappointed in myself for not putting the lessons I learnt along the journey into practice! And here's the thing, that I learnt - when you know, your behavior changes, and if you don't know then your behavior doesn't change! So I thought I knew because my behavior was not changing. I really didn't act like I knew. I knew the relationship was...

I think that what we want, we have to give to the world- kindness, tolerance, generosity,justice, even mercy. I would encourage you before you die you've done something wonderful for humanity. Maya Angelou Saturday evening I was invited to talk to the St Philomen's Rising Star Youth Ministry! Quietly, simply they have started a revolution! They have vowed to encourage big dreams and bigger visions for the young people in the South of the island, I spent two hours with the young people in this group and it warmed my heart so much. It reminded me to dream big, to dream big to dream big....... Why have we stopped dreaming big? What is your reason? Mine is fear and "reality" well thanks to the time I spent with these young ladies and gentlemen that is over, I'm dreaming big, believing in myself and going for it- who vex lorse! Do some dreaming today, and make it big! Peace!

And we start as we mean to carry on This positive vibration is cleansing And let this be the focus Not what drew you from your center But your ability to return there Aligned Peaceful and Power Filled "Who Jah Bless, No Man Shall Curse, Thank God, We're Past The Worst" Natalie Stewart one of my best teachers on the journey said to me that my belief system will reflect on the outside, meaning what you believe about everything will show up in your life. Sort out the beliefs and only you can do that. And then she introduced me to an Oath of Manifestation to read it and believe it!  That Oath is a mind shift,  and the thing that I learnt is change your mind, change your life! I guess I can explain it like affirmations on caffeine! But the key is believing! So what is it for you that you can do to have a mind shift? Because it all starts with you. If you do the same thing daily you will get the same results, nothing will change, start small do a small thi...

you must be willing to lose it all before you can have it all.  What does this mean? It means that until you can let go of everything, you will find it hard to hold onto anything. Detachment is the key. If you are so attached to something that you are deeply unhappy without it, then you are not simply attached, you are addicted Neale Donald Walsh Excerpt from Nyabo(Madam)- Why are you Here? I met my favourite farmer; we were planning a road trip, to the border of Kenya. There was a place she wanted to show me where hybrid maize was grown. “Nyabo, this place will make you smile, it is beautiful. It is a beautiful work. We go!” “Really?” “Yes, but it will be you and I alone, and you will drive.” “How long will the drive be Prossy?” “It will be all day Nyabo, we leave at 7 am and we get there by 7 pm. We will spend one or two nights if the roads are not ok. You will see waterfalls and hills that you will say ahhh Africa!” “If the roads are ok?” “Nyabo...

This resonated with me in a hug way I wanted to share this piece from Danielle La Porte! Take what you need and leave the rest! Peace!! LIFE. It’s all energy. You know this. When we give energy away willingly, intentionally, with  positivity , we get stronger. We become truer, purer, bigger. Power-full. When we give our energy away unconsciously, under duress, as we are victimized, or taken advantage of, when we over-give out of a  sense of deficiency  or obligation, we … don’t get stronger. We constrict, we get depleted, we start to stiffen from fear. THIS IS HOW POWER RETRIEVAL WORKS: You don’t want to ever run into that person. The very thought turns your stomach. Get bigger than it. …  I call all of my power back to me now. I am whole and complete. The love songs that make you sick.  Own the beauty . Sing it for someone else. Take it back .  I call all of my power back to me now. I am whole and complete. The scene of the crim...
