We are at the start of a new week, where we can create the joy we hope to experience.  The Most High has given us a new day.  Think about where you are in this exact moment and relish in the fact that you are okay.  You’re breathing, you’re alive…nothing else matters.  Allow positivity and optimism to overtake your every thought and action.  You are where you’re supposed to be.  You have the power to create your happiness over and over again.  Jot down what you expect to accomplish for the week.  Don’t punish yourself if you don’t get to everything.  Give thanks that you woke up.  Appreciate that you have somewhere to be today.  Put on your favorite cologne/perfume.  Be grateful for travelling mercies.  Be courteous and let someone know how much they mean to you.  Put on your favorite song.  Look yourself in the mirror and enjoy the reflection that is looking back at you.  Pace yourself so that you have enough time to safely get to your destination.  Smile and rest assured that all is well.  Manage your stress by breathing and thinking positive thoughts.  Know that you have been equipped with all the tools necessary to meet your day head on.  Seek gratitude throughout the day and do something nice for someone just because.  Watch how things work in your favor!  Relax, you made it!  Give thanks.

When things are going well, we tend to be more carefree and joyous, naturally so.  However, the trying times teach us to be humble, cautious, and faithful.  Faith requires a certain level of trust for the things that cannot be seen with the naked eye.  There is a special type of intimacy with The Most High that allows us to trust that the unknown is guiding us exactly where we need to be.  I’d like to touch on this because things have a way of “looking” like they are not working out, but the trust factor that is required of faith should be met with vulnerability.  If you look at your past, you know things worked out for the better.  Why would it be any different this time around?  New circumstances and people have the ability to intimidate you if you allow it.  That place of faith requires patience, peace and your thoughts to be shifted on the things that you can control.  Faith does not require you to work on its behalf.  Things are already set in place to manifest on the path of least resistance.  This is why we have so much strife when we try to control the uncontrollable.  Anytime there is resistance, you are operating from a place of fear.  Fear cannot reside at the home of faith.  Do yourself a favor and get out of your own way.  Activate your faith muscles and create a life that is more conducive to peace, happiness and positivity.  Work at these muscles until they are no longer sore.  Most importantly, keep the faith!

I don’t know if I’m the only one that can feel it…but, there is clearly a shift occurring in the atmosphere.  I have taken the time to go within and work on the areas that no longer serve me.  I have also worked really hard to clear out negative patterns and aspects that restricted my growth.  Yesterday was a special day for me because I listened when spirit told me to go to a specific church I always wanted to check out.  I’ve made excuses why I couldn’t get there, but I had ample time and space to make it happen, so I did!  The worship music immediately brought me to tears simply because it touched me so!  Maybe it is also because I know my journey hasn’t been easy, but I have arrived at a place that is complete joy.  No longer holding onto the past, accepting where I am and excited about what is to come.  When you start believing and operating in a place of gratitude and intention, the mindset shifts and you start attracting positive people and circumstances that reflect you.  Not only did I get a word; I got confirmation that I am on the right path.  As you start this week, think about changes and areas you can tweak that no longer serve you.  Be bold and intentional.  Step out of your comfort zone and do it scared anyway.  Fear is a bully.  Pushing yourself when you can no longer stand in stagnation is maturity.  Give thanks for how far you’ve come.  Just to give you some insight of how I’m waking up these days...this song and the dance movements CLEARLY define how my soul feels.  Catch a vibe!

Sometimes we find ourselves in situationships that falsely represent love (in our mind).  It is our responsibility to work through these areas so that we can clearly see truth from fiction.  If you have nothing to compare it to, it can be hard to see the obvious.  One thing is for sure; sexiness can be displayed in many different ways.  Communication and effort go a mighty long way.  When someone can clearly and articulately express themselves in a meaningful way, it lets you know how uncommon it is in today’s society.  Being vulnerable enough to take a chance and do something outside the box, when you don’t know how the other party will receive it is dope!  That comparison can be a deal breaker, ha!  If you’ve ever been in this space, you gotta look up to the heavens and thank The Most High for allowing you to dodge a bullet.  Whew!  In an ever changing world, it is uncommon to be uncommon.  Be gracious, beautiful, handsome, noble, amazing, inspiring and affirming.  Don’t let anybody knock you off your stance.  If you are not respected, appreciated or loved, stand down and switch your direction.  Sometimes the best thing you can do is activate silence.  Silence is your God-given right to stand in your truth, process the moment and walk away with your head held high in grace.  It does not mean that you punked out or quit.  It simply means you are mature and strong enough to know when enough is enough.  Sometimes people don’t understand that when they don’t close the door properly, it gets permanently closed on them.  Access denied.  No re-entry. Authenticity and truth go hand-in-hand.  I don’t know about y’all, but I desire a steady type of love.

​You are the truth, the light, the source…the plug.  Meaning, you control what goes in and comes out.  Stop letting people and things control your emotions.  Peace resides within.  Get to a point where nothing surprises you anymore.  Stop feeling like you gotta prove a point because it only intensifies the insecurities beneath the surface.  Be at peace with not knowing everything and letting things play out.  Don’t be a subscriber to irrelevant things.  Choose happiness because it looks good on you, shines bright and has the ability to shift any atmosphere.  Any time wasted is time you can’t get back.  Light shines bright.  Light radiates.  Light glows.  Light sparkles.  Light is obvious.  Stop being half ass and putting a bow on it.  Be authentic, get in touch with self…show the world who you really are underneath all those layers.  It’s okay to let your hair down.  Vulnerability is a sign of maturity.  Stop being mad!
