Exfoliate

Have you paid close attention to the weight of the baggage that we carry and the things that we hold on to as the years go on, and how we begin to feel like we are walking around with in the middle of summer with a turtle neck sweater on? We begin to feel heavy, anxious, and almost feeling like we are losing air. Imagine yourself for a minute wearing a turtle neck in the middle in the summer, of course this would not even be an option or fashion choice for a hot summer day. I say that to ask why we continue to walk around fully clothed but dressed for the wrong weather and season by continuing to allow our past to be in control allowing all our mistakes to determine our future and define who you are.  We were all born with a sealed faith and a journey already laid out for us and if we believe that we must believe that everything we experience is a part of the plan, which means you already have the solution within.  For every climate and environment, it requires a change or some type of adjustment in order to be able to thrive and continue to move forward, but the choice to resist and refusing to remove the extra layers it becomes impossible   to function fully and effectively.

 

The reality of today’s climate is the more broken a person is the more they cover them selves in with the idea that no one can see the scars covered underneath their expensive clothes, nice cars, house, or even great make up. The more layers you apply the more evident is becomes that you have something to hide and the only person suffering, and suffocating is you because the first step to healing is building the courage to be transparent. If we are not allowing ourselves to be a victim to our experiences and feel free to not hide behind them in fear that is when transparency wins. The moment we are free to share we give ourselves permission to heal and there is nothing no one can say to hurt you or control how you move in life. The benefits of finding the beauty in your journey is people will learn to love and respect you not because of what you have but because of your courage to share openly and live in your truth.  The thought that you can only be acknowledged or loved because of the degree you hold or how much money sits in your bank account is a fantasy, you are more likely to be used for what you advertise and not loved or respected.

I shared this today to say everyone will not be able to connect with the white picket fence and blue-sky stories, most people will connect when they can listen to your story and be able to find comfort to see that they are not the only one.  The reality is if we took on the challenge of transparency more than we run from it you will learn just how much more you have in common with strangers than we realize but if we do not open our mouths, we miss the opportunity of not only healing ourselves but healing and comforting another in need of healing.  Today I am encouraging everyone that feels like they are in a space where everything as we know it is changing and the feeling of confusion is present begin to strip down. Remove all the layers that covers the truth the things that we may not have asked for but what was assigned to our lives for great purpose. Now is the time to allow yourself to be open to the beautiful possibilities of transitioning into new grounds for our lives and be ready to strip down and remove old garments that no longer are needed in this season of our lives.  “I’ve got this crazy dream about stripping down to truth and bone” – Heather Nova

Financial Freedom

Taking responsibility for my current financial circumstances has been a challenge for me but a very important step that must take place, being successful is not success if you are failing in areas that matters most. When I was twenty years old, I received my first credit card with a $500.00-dollar limit which at the time I thought was a lot of money and would come in handy. In the beginning I was on top of all my charges and payments were made on time I was proud, and my only goal and purpose was to make sure that I never missed a payment. I received another offer in the mail a few months later for a $1000.00-dollar limit this was a lot in my eyes, but I feared messing up my credit so bad that I ultimately did just that. This was very tough for me to accept I would avoid talking about it, it has been that one thing I avoided for years, because I felt embarrassed, I felt anxiety every time I thought about how I needed to fix this problem. This was a problem because I was very aware of how important good credit having is and without it, I would be setting myself back for major goals in the future.

 Today as a twenty-five-year-old mother, wife, and entrepreneur the thought of creating a solution for this problem would always come to mind and time after time I gave myself an excuse or something else to focus on. In the last few weeks since declaring that in 2019 having consistency in all areas of my life was my main goal the guilt of being in debt kept showing up. The first act of control I took was putting on my vision board my financial goals, secondly, I in order to create the solution I needed to face the problem. The way I show up in one area of my life is how I will show up in all is a phrase that replays in my head multiple times daily as a great reminder that  even when we believe we can be organized in one area and be a mess in others do that long enough and we will see how the mess starts pouring on into the areas you do have under control.  The irony is that this time around my thoughts were a lot more positive than a few years before when all I focused on was messing up, this time around I am only focused on the solution and making it a great one. I took the next step by setting a date to not only work with a credit repair agent, but also setting up a time to speak with a financial adviser.

“Financial Freedom Is Available To Those Who Learn About It And Work For It.”

I share this today to say energy wasted on worry and thinking about how other people will perceive us is a complete waste of time and energy, put that energy into creating the solution that will make a big difference in your future.  The present is here, and it is for us to enjoy but always make every moment count for something that your future self will be more than grateful for. I encourage everyone reading today to always remember that life is meant to be explored, loved, and filled with a lot of lessons that we should never allow our pride to make us hide behind them with fear of other opinions. It is not what you did in your past, or how many times you fell that matters it is about how many times we had the courage to face them, learn from them and make the necessary changes to rise above. I am on my journey to recovery proud and excited about learning new, are you ready to learn and grow   to make the rest of your life your best life?  We have the power to choose between settling and elevating choose wisely but most importantly enjoy the journey.

Embracing Your Inner Magic

Do The Universe A Favor
&
Do Not Hide Your Magic.

Today, I will take responsibility for myself and show it to others by not allowing myself to be victimized. I cannot control outcomes, but I can control my attitude toward being victimized. I am not a victim; I do not deserve to be victimized.  – The language of letting go by Melody Beattie.  I shared this message today because through my own experience and through connecting and listening to other people’s testimonies I have learned that it is very easy to become a victim to our journey. What do I mean by becoming a victim to our journey, we fail to accept things as apart of the experience instead we get discouraged and allow it to be our reason to not to thriving?  There is such a thing called a valid excuse, and what that means is yes, the experience may be difficulty enough to break anyone but with the right perspective and attitude we can allow it not to win the battle, we are never given more than we can handle. The issue most people are not willing to fight to win they would rather win without any sacrifice or obstacles what that often looks like is one settling for less by taking a less challenging route.

 

There was a point in my life where a light bulb went off in my head and I got clear that just because we believe we are taking an easier route through life it does not mean it is cheaper. It is more expensive when you sacrifice peace, freedom, a life if fulfillment, and having true success and happiness. Believe it or not taking on challenges head on is priceless and a valuable life experience that will take us to new levels. The only way to get present to this is by getting out of our own way  to understand that everything is not about us our purpose and mission in life is bigger than us .The purpose that God placed inside of each and every one of us is magical  and what may seem impossible to most your drive and faith in God makes it all possible. We must wake up and realize just who we are, who we were created by and what we were created to do in this life, time waits on no one and nothing in life is a guarantee aside from death.

 

My question today is when will you begin to own your power, own your glow, and allow the magic within to shine, when will you begin to understand and appreciate your divinity.  One of my favorite quotes by Dr. Wayne Dyer is “we are spiritual beings having a human body experience”, we are not limited by our physical abilities we have a greater advantage through our spiritual connections with God that allows us to transcend beyond.  Invest time in learning how to transcend beyond your physical abilities believing in the thigs we cannot see with our eyes but with our hearts and spiritual growth. Right now, where we are is the perfect time to take charge of our lives and not being a victim to the bumps and bruises that will come along the way. Take a stand to picking yourself back up dust your shoulders off, choose happiness and to thrive, never being fearful or apologetic about how you own your magic and share it with the world. We were all created live freely, vibrate higher, be true to ourselves and be unapologetically happy.

Authenticity > Pretense

I recently read a quote that said, “how we spend our days is, of course how we spend our Lives”, it made me sit and evaluate myself making sure that my thoughts, my actions, and who I am being is in alignment with what I desire for myself. It is not only important but is extremely critical to be mindful of who we are being because it is beneficial to your dreams, in other words if your words and your actions are not adding up your energy will not either. One thing we should always remember is that energy does not lie, and people will always gravitate to energy, if your words are not reflecting to what is within it means nothing.  The question I ask is how are you living each day? how you are aligning your energy to match your words? because the only person this affects is in the long run is ourselves. It costs us nothing but a good life and freedom in being true to ourselves by walking the walk and talking the talk.

 We have to respect ourselves  first  to earn the respect of others  , If we spend each day pretending  to be something that we are not  we will spend the rest of our life trying to keep up with each  and every false story we put out to the world and by doing this when will we have time to live in our truth.  Each day is worth finding great purpose in loving yourself to embrace your true self and the magic you have within to share with the world. God created each and everyone of us in his image what that means is no one was made more amazing than another we are all equally and uniquely amazing beings.  The reality is if we spend time doing only what we feel may bring forth acceptance of the world we will be responsible for existing only and never being able to find what we were created to. Our purpose is a gift from God and in order to find it we must first seek him and begin building an authentic and pure love with the higher powers within. 

Tune Into Your Truth
Live It
Breath It
Beam It.

Today I want you all to ask yourself if where you are today is where you desire to be five years from now, does waking up every day excite you, are you feeling fulfilled, or are you just simply surviving instead of thriving.  If the answer is not to all those questions, I am encouraging you to end the relationship you have with your external appearance and begin a new one with your inner self. Let us commit to living a new life your true and best life   by accepting the gifts that God has blessed us with and being open and available to him to receive them. stop making excuses and investing time in silence with God building your spiritual connection, once that becomes a priority then everything else can flow and fall in place. Always remember having faith without work is dead, put on your warrior boots be prepared to fight fear walk in faith and be present in each moment   to receive the lessons, blessings, and confirmations. The only way to live a life you love is to love you enough to live in your truth embrace your flaws and collect the scars along the way they will be the best and most precious part of your story.
