ALL OF A SUDDEN ...


I used to hear the shaking, the rattling, and the movements of my thoughts as I personally witnessed the season change. Not the actual four seasons of life, but the heart and mind season of my personal self.
Since December of 2019, I knew there was something happening, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. First, it was the flood in my home, then it was my job denying me a bonus based on outside factors that I could not control, corona and now this. The “this” that I was thinking of was the silence of a new season.

I don’t know about you, but seasons are tough. They come and go as they please, they shake things up and could leave you in a mental disarray. Be that as it may, they serve a purpose and I am here to say, that all of this has been our silent season for shifting. There is no way around it, and no way out of it. It is the season of confirmation. The season that knocks you down and picks you right back up, the season of abundance and lack at the same time. It is the silent season of convergence, where everything that you have been doing finally makes sense. It’s the epitome of All of a Sudden.

Funny story, I used to have this really bad habit of smoking hookah. I used to go out for hookah and stay in the house with my hookahs. I would make social events centered around hookah and create personal moments for self that was surrounded around hookah. The point that I am trying to make is, the hookah habit had me fully engulfed. Then one day, out of nowhere I woke up and no longer desired hookah. I packed them all up and gave them away. The season of hookah habit was important for many reasons, I learned a new skill, I learned to fall deeply in love with something, I fell out of love with something, but ultimately my purpose is connected to breaking bad habits that hold people back. So, I had to have something to break to learn how to encourage people on breaking habits.  It was my convergence; it was those two seasons that taught me how to start and stop a thing. Here’s the whole point, what you are going through has a start and stop, and there is always an “all of a sudden” moment that propels you to the next step but you won’t reach it if you quit.

Keep the faith and serve the season, and just know that this too shall pass.
Until next time,
Shameless

Another Again: In The Middle...

  Family and friends, I hope all is well. We are right where we need to be and for some, I am sure we aren’t feeling like that is a good thing. I will be the first one to admit, that this space that I have been in has been a bit strange. While there are a lot of good things happening, there is a lot of uncertainty taking place too. And while I find that to be comforting on one end, on the other I have this extreme annoyance and anger that boils down to sadness.

MY HEAD HURTS.....

I t was just two days before Christmas and my love interest and I had just decided to spend Christmas morning together. No fault of his own, it was completely my idea and he complied. Moments leading up to his arrival, I had the jitters but decided that this would be the day that I would share my intentions. Rightfully so, I have expressed time and time again on both the blog and the podcast to go after what you want.

Gratitude is a Choice...

  I t has been one month and seven days since I had experienced the greatest loss in my adult years, and while I do have air in my lungs and a sound mind to write to you, I can’t say that the feeling is a good one. However, I would love for you to know that today like all the others and prayerfully tomorrow, I am choosing gratitude.
