Still I Rise Well as we prepare to approach a new season, like many others at this time I've been doing a lot of reflecting over this past year. Reflecting on how much I've grown, progressed & ultimately elevated my life (inside-out). How many goals I've accomplished, bad habits I've ended, how my views have changed and which ones remained the same. I look back on the woman I was coming in to 2017 versus the woman I am now going in to 2018 and I'm proud & elated to say simply, I've grown, period. I faced many obstacles internal & external just as I did the year before but I now solve them from a much more grounded, solid core. I know that I have yet to "arrive" but I also know when the occasion causes for it, I rise. And overall that's been the message the Universe has sent me this past year. That "The Art of Ascending" is simply rising to whatever occasion/obstacle lies ahead. That in fact the only way to ascend is thr...

Against All Odds A wise man, aka Albert Einstein once said "Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving." Sounds so easy and simple right? Yet anyone who has experienced life in any a manner can unanimously agree that it isn't so easy after all, simple maybe but easy hardly. See, the simplicity of a thing doesn't guarantee ease and although it is as simple as to "keep moving" the fact is there are many odds that may incline one to desire to stop or to even become unconsciously stuck from fear. Fear of the unknown, fear that they're not good enough or has what it takes to beat the odds or even recover from the temporary defeat that the odds have handed them. In this sense life is like riding a bicycle and oftentimes while riding a bicycle we fall off, the chain pops, catch a flat tire/low air pressure, go up steep hills or lose control going down one or sometimes even hit by a vehicle and knocked flying off and often...

Thus Far Ok so, if you've been paying any attention to anything that I've been rambling on about thus far  than you probably have noticed by now that I tend to stress that I am a work in progress who's living & learning to the best of my ability . Or you should have at least grasped by now that I'm still learning. And I'm quite proud of that although a lot of lessons were learned through trials and to be frank darkness.....intense darkness. In those moments/places of darkness I've learned that darkness is in fact  the place that not only stars but all  things are born including this planet we call earth and the almighty divine creator himself. Yet, the stars reside in the darkness so that particular space may have some light. Stars actually never get to "escape" the darkness they must simply overcome it. In fact the only time we benefit from their shine is when its dark. See, stars are unbothered by the darkness because it never consumes ...

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...
