With Mad Love and Respect

As I sit and ponder how we, as humans, have survived the multitude of tragedies that have plagued us worldwide, I think we deserve a HUGE hug, pat on the back, and kiss on both cheeks!! There is something to be said about our ability to thrive despite challenges. We have survived a global pandemic wherein we have lost loved ones, homes, cars, jobs, and - for many of us - our minds.  Although it has been 2 years since the onset, there are still remnants of the pain, isolation, disconnect, and need to rebuild.  Where do we begin? And even if we have begun, where do we go now? Has everyone come out alright? Mentally? Emotionally? Physically? Do we have a source to reach out to for sharing thoughts, and feelings, and gaining advice?  I have found myself in the dark, under the bed, and downright depressed due to the level of stress I’ve had to endure. Sick parents. Adult children and grandchildren that need support. Changing jobs with lesser pay to begin again. It’s enough to ...

To get to the bottom of something, sometimes you have to remind yourself that if you don’t risk anything, you risk everything.  And the biggest risk you can take is to risk nothing.  And if you risk nothing, what you’re really doing is risking not getting to the bottom of something.  And if you don’t get to the bottom of something, you risk everything.  Excerpt from “The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window”

 What a beautiful day?!? Full of sun and pretty blue clouds. Peaceful. Loving. Grateful. Thankful.  Having the use of limbs to move, lips to speak (and kiss), eyes to see, ears to hear, and hands to feel make this an exceptional existence.  Spiritual beings experiencing this human experience can tap into the most minute details and recognize the blessings in it.  And you know what? It makes me excited about tomorrow. There are great things on the horizon.  This comes on the cusp of some very dramatic happenings over the weekend. With every moment that passes, I am reminded that we are protected. Blessed.  Peaceful. Loving. Grateful. Thankful. ☀️🌙✨

 Today, my eyes are wide open. I am focused, driven and determined. It feels like I have the ability to point to what I want and it will be honored.  People will count you out. They will wish for your downfall. Smile in your face and peek around the corner to watch you unravel - or, at least, that’s their hope.  It has been my experience that people have great things to say in front of you but when you find a way to elevate yourself and your life, things change.  Let’s decide to rise above it. Learn to silence the negative thoughts and emotions. Let’s keep our heads held high and live life to its fullest - on purpose!  I will walk with you every step of the way!  With Mad Love and Respect ❣️
