ready. set. flow...

I don't know about you, but it is my deepest desire to live in the divine flow of life. when there, you fret for nothing for you know that all that you need and long for will come to you. you put your trust in the fact that GOD will never lead you to where he can't carry you. that, my friend, is faith.

so how do we begin to experience this flow? first you must understand that things are unfolding as they should be. don't fight with what is. embrace it. give thanks for it.

i love how pastor Joel Osteen puts it, "all things are lessons GOD would have us learn." so in everything, give thanks.

when you embrace what is, you surrender to the divine order that governs each of our lives. none of us are exempt, but many of us fight it or are simply unaware.

this surrendering is the opposite of living in the darkness and limitations of our perceptions. it opens you up.
just like the river heads into the ocean, so do we into GOD's divine purpose for our lives.

next, you must realize the magnitude of your thoughts. if you're not at the place you want to be in your life, know that your thoughts have brought you to that place. this is less about thinking positive thoughts and more about thinking loving ones. in that space, there is no room for doubt, fear, and regret. you must watch your thoughts.

finally, you invite the flow. let your life be the adventure that it already is. live uninhibited. live in the fullness of all that GOD wants for your life.

your life can only be beautiful when living in the flow. that is to say the present moment. experience the fullness therein.

your life is sacred: honoring every moment

on this day, exactly eleven years ago today, my mother entered the Baptist for her second mastectomy. the cancer was vicious, relentless, and evidently insatiably hungry for the life of my mother. She had already had the other breast removed and she went into this surgery confident that it would be best.  i remember her strength and her faith most vividly during this week. i also remember her strongly rejecting my request for funds to purchase a new shirt for the pastor's appreciation that was coming up that Friday. i'm not sure if my mother knew this was her last week on earth. there were no "final conversations" or any discussion of what was next for our lives without her.  she would leave behind her four children, her dreams, and ultimately, a life well-lived that same night of the pastor's appreciation, which also happened to be All Saints Day. my mother's life, her struggle with breast cancer, and her early demise at thirty-three helps def...

forgiveness v. the pain

WE have all been hurt by someone we love or someone who said they wouldn't do the very thing they would go on to do. The pain that followed ensured us that we could not afford to put our trust or give our heart fully to anyone. We wrestle with moving forward because the pain has left us in chains.  And there is nothing that can break the chains except for forgiveness. My favorite definition of forgiveness is "giving up the hope that the past could have been any different." I don't know who originally said that, but I'll attribute it to Ms. Winfrey, since she is the one I first heard it from. Although forgiveness is a process, it is one that must be completed in order to live freely.  I'm reminded of a childhood experience of physical abuse that I encountered when I was almost 2. It occurred by the hands of my mother's husband. I still remember that dreadful morning and still bear the furnace scars to show for it. I knew then that although i had been s...

summer GROWTH

       you know growing up, one of the things i always looked forward to was the summertime. not only because of the time out of school, but because i thought summer was a time to grow -- physically. in the fall, I would be amazed at how much taller my peers had grown. Apparently, the summer wasn't as giving to me.       nowadays, i still think of the summer as a time of growth but on a whole other level... mentally. every summer, i set a goal to read at least 100 books (don't ask me if they all get read), i watch documentaries and do other mind stimulating activities. however, i still give myself all of the rest and relaxation I need.      one thing i am certain of is this, you may not be able to control your physical growth, but you can control growth in other areas of your life. mental, spiritual, and financial growth, to name a few, also takes time, but they depend solely on you. where ar...
