Water Yourself

Thoughts may swirl through the air sometimes that turn your usual upward smiley face into a frown. It doesn’t take a monstrous blaze to notice the embers of doubt coming to fire it’s flames. The truth about you creeps along even when doubt tries to prowl into your system. Don’t get burned; water yourself.

You do not have to frantically search outside for validation. Every exasperating experience does not mean that you have to once again be etched with worry. Resilience usually screams out its sweet words to you and its voice is noticeable because it will start to shower you with good thoughts about who you are. Let that overwhelming sense of love wash over you and soothe what feels lost.

You know who you are. Keeping your mind leveled on the truth easily fixes, soothes and solves. Don’t let lies about your character ruin your delightful heart. You don’t have to yell curses or get angry. You don’t have to let your faith collapse. You do not have to walk around feeling depressed or defeated. Don’t go let out your frustrations on your social media page. There are better ways to handle your situations. Don’t stay thinking that what you are going through is just another sad love song. This is real life.

Instead, find an alternate route. Reach for a pen and a notebook and let the lines be your shoulder to cry on while sitting in a cradle of quietness. Sometimes it takes emptying out what is bottled up inside so you could meet the quiet of your mind; like meditation but only, using writing as the vehicle.

Use your own eyes and heart as your audience and respond to your own situation. How could you have handled it differently? Feedback? What is the next step? How do I move in a better way? What can I learn from all of this?

But while writing, don’t simply stay hyper-focused on the problems, the he say, she says, or the dilemmas. Don’t forget to acknowledge the good things that happened in your life. Root yourself on for standing in resilience. Let out a high-pitched giggle for the things that felt good along the way. You persevered through it all. Remember that! 

Keep creating your own dusts of joy and let it sink in. Keep reaching for the sky and rise up to keep meeting the you that makes you smile.

Know yourself. Love yourself. Honor yourself. Trust yourself. Respect yourself. Like yourself. Acknowledge yourself. Celebrate yourself. Give yourself grace. Germinate.

Knock! Knock! Let Love In! It's Valentine's Day

When expectations of love slip, some people tend to proceed life swept up in fear of what might not go right if letting someone new into their lives.  

Some find it hard to nod with approval when love comes knocking at their doors because past loves failed to deliver as they were intended to. Even though those hurtful memories that were experienced over the course of their lives might be a decade out of fashion, letting new love in has simply,  not been laid out in their agendas.  If this applies to you, perhaps you need a bit of clarity to change your mind. 

You are enough! You are strong enough to sustain in a relationship! You are lovable; flaws and all! You are worthy of being more than just an option! You are a quality individual who deserves to experience the force of the natural elements of love! You are strong enough to let go of the sugar that left you feeling tart. 

Walk the atmosphere knowing that. Also, be aware that you are not your past. Don’t live your life emotionally damaged because you let the wrong person in who did not realize the true value of the royalty that you are. You are more than that. And remember, to have a happily ever after, it must start with a hello and then a meeting of the minds in a harmonious state to flow blindly into love. I wrote a song entitled "Blindly Into Love" on the basis of allowing love to flow naturally into love from the minute it becomes a thought phase unto the happily ever after. The lyrics came to me while driving and so at every traffic light, my pen was to the pad and a song was spilling out onto its pages. The music was written by Mike LeShore.

This post was just a way to encourage you to not be afraid to allow someone to come into your world and to treat you the way you deserve to be treated. When I see couples like my parents who have been together for nearly half a century, it makes me know that love can be real if first you love yourself enough to believe that you are lovable. 

If this does not apply to you, I apologize. I however know some people who do live their lives grieving over relationships that haven't been a part of their worlds for eons and they are still brokenhearted and afraid to move on and to love again; sadly. 

What a great day like Valentines Day AKA Singles Awareness Day to makes sure that we are giving the fullness of our own hearts to our own selves. Love yourself without limitations. And make sure that everyday, you find a real reason to smile. You are definitely worth that self-love.

For those who are experiencing a fine romance and a beautiful life as a team, may your love forever move mountains, conquer worlds and continue to grow. You are inspiring to the world.

Happy and blessed Valentines Day!
