How to heal fully and properly.
A Change of State: Do you welcome it or fear it?
Life has a way of grabbing my attention and reminding me daily of what is important to me. Health. Family. Friendship. Compassion. Laughter. My dog. Music. Creativity. Nutrition and exercise. Meditation. Generosity of spirit. Appreciation within the moment.

7. Acceptance and the almighty leap of faith.
The number 7 represents the Seeker who opens up to receive unlimited support from the Universe. It is through our vision and our search for meaning in life that has given us an all-access pass to delve deeper into the fabric of existence. You are Spiritual, observant, reserved, a dreamer, intuitive, analytical, and intelligent. By practicing heartfelt action in your every step, you do not suffer the pain anymore, whether mental or physical. Every Moment in the NOW is ready to be observed, this quiet alignment between the heart’s intention to the choices we make in life and the actions that follow. This mental state of creating the ripple of pure awareness of mind, body, and soul energy will unite you into the ONENESS. Enlightenment needs more than just experience, no matter how beautiful or profound you may feel when small pockets of happiness emerge in your life. What is needed is a permanent shift in consciousness. Like the Eagle, we need to rise above thought, by calling upon our intelligence when a creative solution is needed. The practical no-mind headspace prevails over the involuntary ego mindset, this is where true power lies.

When I am focus, I tend to make lists; no more than 3 things at a time, that is how I keep my eyes on the ball, I learned this from a co-worker early on in my adulthood: I call these lists “Working On” and they are usually around my desk, or the calendar on the fridge. This helps me remind myself of the goals in my good days and bad days, it helps me figure out road blockers as I go, because I know where I am going, it gives me a vision. I recently learned that I do the same with my emotions, I take an emotion at a time, wrestle with it until I know where it is coming from and how to fix it; the thing is, I have not learned what to do when I can’t fix it; and so, I get stuck on the feeling of not knowing.

5. The rollercoaster stage of manifestation.
Life is like a rollercoaster in away, it is full of exciting twists and turns, it is full of mystery because it is impossible to know exactly what lies ahead of us. With the right mindset, this can be very exciting. However, it is imperative that we also learn how to haul ass continually. The influence of the number 5 is to make us aware that a change is about to manifest into your life. We have two options, we can either open ourselves up to change and embrace it or alternatively, we can choose to fear it, which will not accomplish anything. The transition of Change is essential for us to grow mentally, physically as well as spiritually. 5 is a confident sign of support that we should take each day as it comes, step by step. When we seek help in healing from the Universe our guardian angel will appear, to provide us with insight and wisdom. This, in turn, allows us to not fear the future but instead, it prepares us for new blissful adventures. Our guardian Angel will act as a navigation system in order for our moral compass to work efficiently. Their guidance helps us to find our way in confusing and turbulent times, by communicating the essence of good health and vitality.

Clarity
Understanding is a big growth in life. The years pass by and some may learn from past mistakes and some may not but, me I feel that learning your faults and understanding the distraction of your life is all important. I begin learning these things from the woman that birth me my mother. Though me and my mom past relationship has been a rough road to stumble down I clearly understand my mom decisions which may have affected my life and the rest of my siblings. My mom is an ordinary woman. She may have had me, my older sister and my younger brother at a young age which made things difficult. Being a young black woman in this society today let alone 40yrs ago is extremely hard. The expectations from others would drive you into a wall let alone your own. I was raised in Atlanta, Georgia by my grandparents. My mom made it possible to keep me and my other two siblings together. I still remember the early years when she was partially active in my life. It was hard as a kid to deal with your mother not being around. When she would come around I would run to hug her and call her mom but sometimes it would feel like she would just reject me as her child. I wasn't a fast learner actually slower than most the people in my class so I had problems processing alot of things. I grew in the family era though most people in my neighborhood never had the traditional family. The closes we would get to a traditional family is watching them on TV. With show's like The Cosby's, Family Matters, Fresh Prince of Bel air and several other shows I grew to long for the traditional family setting. It took years for me to just cope with the fact that something's in life are just not promise. I grew to know my mom was a strong woman and she was just fighting for what every woman fight for in life and that's love. Though me and my siblings do not have the same biological father's I still admire my mom for not giving up at her chance at love and happiness. As the years pass and I became in my early adulthood days I seem to have caught trouble in my life. In and out of jail became a continuous cycle in my life. I begin to gain mental health problems. Schizophrenia was my diagnosis and it plague half my life. Once my mother came back in our lives as adults she drop a bombshell on us. My mother had a whole other life apart from us which consists of A husband and three kids. I was angry because these three siblings who I never met had what I long for my whole life a traditional family. As I got to know my new siblings I grew very fond of them and was happy they were in my life. I actually like them more then the siblings who I knew my whole life but maybe growing up together can kinda make you drift further apart. I also found out that my mother have the same mental diagnosis as me. I grown to admire my mother now with me being a grown-up and having a better understanding of the decisions she had to make to keep her family together. This world is amaze so to speak and you never know which way you'll have to turn. Thanks to my mother I learned that things come up unexpectedly and well you can either run away or found a solution even if all parties involved may not understand they will grow to know and that's why the strongest woman in my life is my mother Norine White Trigger the woman who taught me the true definition of clarity.

The Goddess In Me
Dearest self, I know that you don’t feel strong right now. I know you feel broken beyond repair. Like bits and pieces of you have wound up in corners of the house covered in cobwebs and you can’t possibly put them back together. But they are not. You are whole and mighty and strong just as you have always been. You are a fierce warrior woman, and I love you. I love you, and I am so sorry for the things you have been through. I am sorry but also, I am proud. I write this letter, so you realize just how strong you are because I know you don’t always see it. I hope when you feel lost, you can re-read and re-read this until your eyes are too tired to move them across the page so that you can remember just how far you have come.

Do I love myself yet?
So you've started a self-love journey. First, I AM PROUD OF YOU for taking the first step towards personal freedom. Second, it can get hard along the way, sometimes feeling like the journey has been conquered only to be ambushed with more insecurities, emotional reactions, and toxic behaviors. "But I've been working on loving myself for a whole year! What am I doing wrong?", you ask yourself struggling to find the answers and slowly losing hope.

Mirror, Mirror
Jolted out of sleep by the shrill alarm, she reaches across to slap the alarms slumber button stopping short as she remembers what day it is. Groaning, she slides to an upright position while tossing back the covers and swinging her legs over the side. This is always when she is reminded of just how much life has passed her by, her youth and vitality gone before she even had time to live it. Mentally, she is still that young vibrant girl with her whole life in front of her, except that when she should have been in that mind frame, she was so far from it that it never even occurred to her. Her life was like a horror story from which she acted on impulse and auto pilot. This was a survival technique she learned in the the first 5 years of her life. Recognizing that familiar wave of sadness beginning to wash over her, she forces those thoughts back down into the depths of her mind, desperately searching for a happy memory to hold onto as she makes her way to the kitchen in search of coffee. Reaching into her cupboard, she grabs her favorite mug, silently thanking God and the person responsible for designing the Mr. Coffee to be programmed and set to brew before she even opened her eyes; it was nice to awake to fresh brewed coffee. Once she had added her sugar and cream, she settled into her favorite spot and prepared to begin her daily episode of " Morning Coffee", a program she had truly begun to appreciate and looked forward to. She had been supporting the stream and watched as it went from a few hundred to over eight thousand viewers/ members, and truly respected the self professed progressive journalist. No matter what some think, she knew instinctively that this was the news people should be told. It didn't matter if it was Republican or Democrat or even Independants, this guy laid it all out in the open for all to see and any rational person couldn't deny the facts when they came straight from the horses mouth, he unapologetically shamed the one responsible. This was what her life had evolved into, her biggest joy was watching some independent journalist do his best impression of certain politicians as they make a mockery of many things most Americans consider sacred. The segments were actually very informative and usually good for a laugh or two, but she had to get a life. The need in her was strong and urgent as she allows her mind to wander a bit. Remembering the most recent failure always proved emotional, but she instinctively knew there was no other way to put it behind her. Anticipating the tears that were sure to flow she retrieved a napkin, shut her eyes and waited...

The Art of Leaving Well
It is a strange thing to begin something new with a title such as this. However, I must emphasize that this is not a farewell piece but a hello. In fact, I have learned that the act of leaving is far less like a good-bye than we think, even the etymological evolution of the word itself testifies to that. There is a delectable irony, a magical realism (not in the literary sense but the regular), a bittersweet flavour that results from beginning by leaving something behind. . .

Is it a Wonderful Life?
The first time I decided to create New Year's resolutions, a pandemic cursed the earth. As a cynical and misanthropic soul that wanders modern civilization, I detested the idea of New Year’s resolutions before 2020. For one, the ritual of promising the air that I will read more or exercise more had curled my fingers into steaming red fists. Seemingly, resolutions are a primordial practice of shouting prayers to an invisible god in the sky about pleasing yourself more. While the word “resolute” hung on every tongue, I bled from my ears. The practice presented itself to me as a futile effort since life is far more complicated than achieving yearly stilted goals.

Fat and Depressed Part Two: Electric Boogaloo
I actually wasn't always fat. In high school I was somewhat fit, even though at the time I thought I was fat. It's weird. Looking back I most certainly was in decent shape; not even just compared to now, like, in general I was in pretty decent shape. I was pretty good at basketball, and even after I quit the high school team I continued to play every day. Those should have been the good ol' days, but I was too busy worrying about my weight. I'm not sure what brought it on, I don't recall any of my friends telling me I was fat or anything like that. As far as I know it was all in my head. Instead of working out or talking to someone I got depressed and started eating.

When you are raised alone, you gain this strength to pull back from people so fast after being hurt; boundaries, is what you call it. I have cut people off, without hesitating, and most times it was after getting burn by them, or because some how they came too close to making me lose control. I am going to write this as best as I can, so you can understand, my therapist pointed out many times that I used to not take pride on my achievements, that I used to be careful with how I connected to people, and for me this was a struggle because I am a social butterfly.
