Thus Far




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 them and they actually use it to the benefit of not only their shine but to light up the sky for the benefit of all. They are literally the light and darkness & light cannot occupy the same host. See stars are actually shedding the light they've already obtained onto those whom the darkness might be consuming. This one of the main things I've learned thus far. That being a star isn't about shining so that others may marvel at your brightness but so you can enlighten those still in the darkness and shine a light on people, places, experiences & issues that all of the Universe may profit from the exposure of. I cant say that I know/have the blueprint or the roadmap out of the darkness which may consume you within but I can merely share what I've learned thus far concerning true happiness which often fuels our shine.  I've learned that true happiness is being at peace with taking what you dish out because what you dish is sincerity, optimism and kindness. Happiness is being at a point in your existence where you can truly declare that being in alignment with the divine Universal Laws is honestly top priority at the moment. Happiness is knowing that you're an infinite being not out to harm anyone....including yourself. Happiness being able to be vulnerable enough to cry your heart out to a higher power and cleanse your soul of suffering. Happiness is giving what you expect/desire of others including the Most High. Happiness is knowing that there's so much more to being happiness than simply being "happy" and rather a direct cause of that state. I'm still learning and know that my self-discoveries along with everything else in this life are subject to change and am as a result flexible with life, but this what I know for sure from personal experience thus far.....


"So make sure when you say you're in it but not of it, you're not helping to make this earth a place sometimes called hell. Change ya word into truth and then change that truth into love."

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...
