Big Sis to Lil Sis

Be careful what you pick up
what traits you copy and
what habits you adopt;
It’s never easy to shed the
old self and it takes even longer
for people to accept the new self.
Be careful what you say.
Think it through a hundred times or
more if it needs to be said.
Words expose your true character
and what you say cannot be taken back.  
What you say has the power to
build up as well as tear down
another;what you say has the
power to make you unclean.

At times silence is best kept.
Exercise wisdom in all things
Wisdom comes through experiences.
No one can gain it for you
It is the good that you take from
experiences both good and bad that
is the building block of wisdom…
Not the wisdom preached by this
world, but the wisdom which comes
through knowing one’s self.

Practice self control. The small step
you take today in this direction will make
a huge impact tomorrow. Discipline is key
to growth while indiscipline leads to
stagnation.
Know that you are who you think you are
and that no one on this earth has the power
to tell you who/what you are. The moment
you agree to someone’s summation of you
is the moment YOU cease to exist.
Never allow yourself to feel comfortable
at point zero. Point zero is the lowest place;
where you have many regrets, you are angry
all the time, you can’t accomplish what you
need to and everyone is to be blamed except
YOU.
Believe that you can do anything you set
your mind to…belief fueled by fervent action
can move mountains. Never let an obstacle
get you down, keep at it until you’re there.
Patience is a key that can unlock many doors.
Finally, seek guidance in all that you
do,from the only one who knows all
that you don’t. Seek His face in everything,
keep your eyes continually on Him
and he will lead you in the way you must go
Trust in God always.

A Matter of Time

I don't think it's any coincidence that God's time  seems to be the theme for this month. There just always seems to be a time line involved in everything we want to get done. Anyway, as my birthday is fast approaching I've been spending time reflecting, going through pictures, reading my journals just really reflecting to get some perspective. What was interesting was that while going through the journal I just happened to buck up this to-do list...yea...one of those goal to-do lists  where I need to do x by y time . Funnily, the list was written back in 2006 and it had check boxes placed next to the goals. I noticed that at least 3 boxes were still not ticked at the time, while others were ticked and dated...and now for the surprise the unchecked were: 1. Become a lacto-ovo vegetarian  2. Go Natural and 3. Something else that I can't quite remember now.. . It was very funny to me, as reading it marked the 8th day since I had gone vegan with no desire for mea...

Perspective

There was a time I used to think single and alone is the worst thing a person could be. There were days I would sit on my teenage bed staring at the ceiling wondering why I wasn't desirable and I could hear my mom outside my window getting on with life - busying herself with laundry and other household chores.  Since my mother's death I have realized that the worst thing a person could be is ungrateful. Everyday there is something or someone in our lives to be grateful for.  The next worst thing a person could be is regretful. When you lose a loved one it's all you have - regret. I was so close to my mom yet I still regret the moments I wasted on the imaginary whos that were never in my life when I could have spent that time goofing around and learning more from my mother. Takeaway : Life is a gift and so are the people who were placed in our lives. Treasure who is in your life as tomorrow is promised to no one.

Overcoming The Disappointments of 2020

Never in a hundred years did I think I would be writing about a disease that has forced the complete shut down of the world. It’s caused me to think a lot and empathize with people and myself about our shared disappointment of how this year has turned out. Let’s recap the outbreak of the novel Corona virus in late 2019 (allegedly with a Chinese wet market as the epicentre): The virus made its way to over 130 countries The virus spurred a pandemic with panic buying & hoarding of essential items  Several countries imposed travel bans and closed their borders Several countries limit movement and impose curfews to prevent the spread Non - essential businesses are ordered to close leading to mass layoffs Humans are instructed to stay in place at home and practice social distancing when they have to be out and about. Connected By Disappointment This all sounds stranger than fiction in writing but it is our shared reality right now and quite frankly many of us are ...
