The Silver Lining

The Silver Lining

I created this blog with the hopes and intentions that those who are in the process of healing/self-liberation can visit and gain peace within that process. Peace in knowing that they are in fact healing and these are what I believe to be the symptoms so that they know they're not "losing it" but rather "gaining it". What's to be gained in healing is peace & liberation, but what's to be gained in the process of healing is growth & evolution which can both be eternal. See, healing is a long process is an understatement. Some pain requires a lifetime of the healing process. But realize that process = growth & evolution. See you could still be wrapped in your pain thus haven't even yet begun the process of healing, still stagnant and living your life not evolving past that particular state of being. That's the Silver Lining! And there will always be a Silver Lining, because a cloud simply can't exist without the very Silver Lining that shapes it. See it's not "crazy" to take the good and the bad rather than simply taking the bad and wallowing in it. I mean even if you were forced to chose between the two is that really a logical choice? Reality is more than enough times the bad outweighs the good and that's why this whole "healing process" even exists today. But in this case celebrate the good because it truly does outweigh the bad! You're in the process of healing which brings about growth & evolution. And even better liberation/peace is what follows and oftentimes overlaps! So, yes the healing process is long and yes it is most definitely a process but you can only gain from it and add it to your existence to enrichen your life experience. I wouldn't say that I know much about what this life thing is all about but as far as I know it's the only chance we have to get it right so accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative.

  1. In this world, "Pain is inevitable, but Suffering is an option."

    The "Silver Lining" is that lining that forms and shapes a cloud. Its like the thread that lines the hem of a dress. And if you're able to grab hold of this little piece of "hanging thread", you can unravel the entire dress! Thus, a cloud would lose it form and dissipate / vanish into thin air.

    But, sometimes, trying to look for a piece of hanging thread (silver lining), can be as difficult as trying to catch a tidal wave in an empty glass! (lol)

    What I find reassuring and comforting, and helps me be at peace...is that ALL clouds come...and go. They are merely passing by. I've learned that clouds does not effect my day. Whether its sunny, rainy, or cloudy...a day is STILL just a day. And days passes by just as clouds. :-)

    Live each day. Do not take the clouds of yesterday into your new day, "today". And do not live the worries and anxieties of tomorrow, "today". But live and enjoy each day, each moment as it comes. You see, we spend so much time residing in yesterday and tomorrow, that we totally forget or ignore "today", this very moment.

    We must learn to live each moment, appreciate each breath, for the moment is ALL we really have. :-)

In My Humble Opinion

In My Humble Opinion As I continue to journey through this miraculous experience called “Life” I like to accumulate what I call “mini discoveries” or what Oprah Winfrey coined as “aha moments”. Initially these discoveries were for my own survival/navigation through similar experiences or so I could pass the next “test” concerning that discovery, but in my typical nature I would babble on to my loved ones about these exciting self discoveries and naturally they'd share their very own “mini discoveries” with me. As a result, we’d both part ways enlightened with a higher frequency than when we began conversing. Amongst these “mini discoveries” and enlightening talks I’ve come to discover that the idea/concept that everyone has the ability to change the world is slightly off. See the fact of the matter is every single one of us are already changing the world through whichever frequency we’re existing in and operating from in our everyday encounters with others familiar and stra...

Word is Bond

Word Is Bond “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God” (John1:1 )…..if I’m not mistaken I believe scripture is stating that God’s Word is his bond or even that he and all any of us ever truly have is his word, which is sufficient. How many times have you uttered or heard the phrases, “word is bond” or “all I have is my word”? I’m assuming quite enough   but I don’t think we really, fully grasp the spiritual magnitude those phrases holds. At least I know I didn’t up until I found myself back at that messy part of this healing journey, the “pain pit stop”! Where I’m experiencing a new cycle of pain and for a moment was temporarily tempted to “stop & fold at hurt” ( Blog #5, “When It Hurts-It Hurts”) simply because, well honestly, I was hurting. But then I recalled during a previous cycle of pain when I received one of the simplest yet most profound advice to simply “follow my words”. After all, my word is my bond right? See...

Note To Self- Trust The Mofo Process (TTMP)

Trust The Process Growing up, I've always heard folks amongst me say faith & fear/worry can't occupy the same space as well as worry or fear is the opposite of faith and that if you trust & have faith in God then there's no need to be worried. Now, while I agree that faith should diminish fear I've also learned that the true opposition to faith is in fact SIGHT.  I've gotten this lesson first hand through experimenting with "fortune telling". I found that even after "reading the signs"& coming to ones own interpretation or even receiving great news of things to come that I still couldn't find the peace of mind that my soul yearned to get me through the here & now and all the ups and downs it brings. After a series of lessons....& readings Allah revealed to me through a message delivered by Pastor Phil Munsey titled "Are We There Yet". See, Faith is much deeper than believing & knowing of the magn...
