#3 -A Thought 4 Friday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day!
Each Day In Your Life is Unique!
Friday calls us to be in relationships without judgement, that is non-transactional, and with hidden agendas. We are called to evaluate the context and content on which our relationships are formulated and make a conscious choice if the relationship is in alignment with who we are and how we want the fabric of our lives to be. Once again this is where discernment and being fully conscious in our lives are the keys to living the quality of life that is our birthright.
We are meant to be drawn to people that see who we are and appreciate and respect our “Divine identity”. In return we are called to do that for those we choose to be in relationship with. We want to seek and engage with people that support sustaining a whole, healthy and reciprocal relationship. Friday is calling us to carefully, lovingly, and discerningly reflect on who we are showing up as in our relationships and who is really worthy of being in relationship with us.
I always remember my pastor sharing with us that “When you are truthfully on your spiritual journey will notice that some of your friends and acquaintances seem to drift away. It is because as your consciousness evolves and you vibrate on a different level of awareness and understanding, you will draw unto yourself people that are moving in alignment with you. It is not something that happens out of arrogance or self-righteousness, it is a natural order of the progression of our divined journey.
There will be people in our lives for a season for a reason, and a reason for certain people in our life at a particular season of our life. It is always in “Divine Right Order”! And all of this is good news! I wonder who will come into your life next?

“Father Forgive Them, For They Know Not What They Do”! Has nothing changed? Will we ever learn?
Jesus was arrested, put on trial, and sentenced to death by crucifixion.
-He was beaten, mocked, and made to carry His cross to a hill called Golgotha.
There, He was nailed to the cross and died.
His last words were full of love, forgiveness, and trust in God.
How do we as “Christians” even formulate our mouths to identify this day as a “Good” Day?
He went to pray and engage with His Heavenly Father to consult with Him on what to do in the Garden of Gethsemane. I can’t imagine the content of that discussion as a mother, because I would not want to sacrifice my child knowing the conditions of humanity then and seeing today that not much has changed.
Jesus sacrificed His life hoping that our humanity would become what our Creator had imagined, then envisioned, designed, crafted and then breathed life into. Jesus was on a mission for “Great Spirit”! He did not intend to have His work institutionalized and distorted from the “Truth of what He taught and lived. He came with a message of DEI+! He was in His own identity a being that represented diversity! He sought to bring awareness for the need to have equity amongst all of us.
Jesus could not have been more open and accessible to including anyone that sought His love and compassion, to be part of His life’s journey. I know that Jesus is with us in the “Spirit”, but if He were here in the “Flesh”, which I have seriously advised Him to stay on the Heavenly realm, till we get our act together because “once was definitely enough of a sacrifice, He would have been all in the mix of fighting for Justice and showing us how to live a life of compassion and love. Jesus was a “Holy Spirit” of unconditional Radical Love”, and He in His human form probably had moments in that garden that He could have simply said “forget it, this battle for the sanctity of your souls and the souls of humanity, are on you”.
He could have simply saved Himself from the agony of death and been self-consumed and indifferent to the woes of the world. Instead, He allowed Himself to be used as a symbol of Faith, Love, and Hope for the redemption of all mankind. He made the supreme sacrifice and what real gratitude have we given to demonstrate that we get His messaged, that we are intentionally trying to live by His principles and values, and that we are everyday trying to walk in the light of not Christianity as a systematic institutional system, but as authentic followers of “Christ” holding the “Christ Spirit” as our guiding post to walk this world and impact this world as He did and as He would today.
He was betrayed by someone He thought loved Him and understood His purpose on earth. He was hung on the cross and engaged with the two thieves that hung on either side of Him. He did not shame them or pass judgement on them because He knew the content of their broken souls. They communed with Him on that day, hanging on those crosses on that hill known as “Golgotha” which represented the place of death-executions. Even as they were hanging on that cross, one on either side of Jesus, the conversation could have started out as a battle for their souls. Interestingly enough Jesus was not battling He gave them the space to “come back to themselves and then in a most grace filled way He told them-“Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise”. Do we offer each other that same kind of love and grace?
This day- this “Good Friday” I see as the “Day of Redemption and Accountability”. I see it as a “Day of Gratitude” that a “Holy man of humble means” over 2, 000 years ago loved us, all of humanity, representing every ethnicity, walk of life, and condition of life, with a love so expansive and unconditional, that He laid down His life to set you and me free. I walk in that light! will you choose to walk in that light? It is a choice!
Ashé! Ameen! Amen!

#3 -A Thought 4 Thursday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day!
Each Day In Your Life is Unique!
Thursday’s energy reminds us that hope and faith are not a state of naivety; it is courageous and tenacious. I know we are probably over the phrases like “I have Faith that…”, “If I just had Faith to believe that…”. “You just don’t have any Faith in me that I will…”, or “Oh you of little Faith”. I get a feeling that it is a word that we use so loosely and not with the real depth of what it actually means and requires from us to manifest what “only faith can do sometimes”! Faith no matter if it is in our own ability, the ability of others, and more importantly, “Faith” in our Divine Creator to work in our lives and for our well-being, is more that critical, it is the energy force that propels our will to live.
The problem that plagues our ability to have that lifeline of Faith, is that we do not carefully and thoughtfully discern who is worthy of us having Faith in. It actually starts with us recognizing that we have to have Faith in ourselves first, because we were created by divine design and that design made each of us “Enough”. This knowingness of being enough and sufficient is the core of what sustains us.
In coming to this state of consciousness, we have the ability to understand that with in our relationship that is eternal with “Great Spirit”, we are given the gift of Faith in and through that relationship. We initially have a knowing that we can count on our gift of Faith to see us through any challenge that life presents because we are always cared for. The experience of what that Faith will manifest might not be exactly what we “want”, but it will always fit in alignment with what is needed in our life at that time and always on time.
So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression. May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.
Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!
Go Gently! Breathe Deeply!

#3 -A Thought 4 Wednesday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day!
Each Day In Your Life is Unique!
Wednesday calls us to rely on and be open to knowing what we know intuitively and at the same time be open to learning what we don’t know yet. We take so much for granted in our busy lives. We are so engaged in our “Survival Modality of living”, that we don’t tune into one of the greatest gifts we are endowed with- “Our Intuition”. Some people describe it as a “gut feeling”, but it is bigger than something that rises up on a physical level. This is some “Deep” spiritual knowingness that permeates our entire being.
It’s like a flash of enlightenment that speaks to us and tries to reveal a “Truth”, but it does not wait for us to deliberate on whether or not we are going to act on it. You either listen to that “Still quiet voice within you”, or you don’t! The choice is always yours. It takes a lot of courage to step into that realm and trust your soul to speak to you and through you.
It is work to venture into that world of spiritual understanding and trusting yourself to listen to what is rising up in your whole being. It takes on a physical, emotional, and spiritual reaction to the vibration of your intuitive messages and guidance, and that can feel risky. It calls you to operate your life differently. It requires living in that realm of a more profoundly spiritual connection and becomes a ritual.
Trusting your intuition puts you more in alignment with the” One Source” because perhaps that inner voice is a conversation between us and “Great Spirit”, trying to guide and protect us. It is something to think about because I don’t think it is available for us in our “Divine Design” for no reason or purpose. Take note of how you feel and what is given to you the next time your “Intuition speaks to you”!
So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression. May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.
Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!

#3 -A Thought 4 Tuesday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day!
Each Day In Your Life is Unique!
Tuesday is a day where we are being called to speak because if we are silent, it would be harmful to us personally or perhaps harmful for others. I know that in some circumstances it is difficult if not dangerous to put ourselves on the line and speak our truth, but sometimes our “Soul” tells us that we don’t have a choice. There are going to be times in our lives when we have serious life-changing decisions to make that might alter the course of our life, or at least it feels like and looks like to us that what we say will be more like a repercussion than a moment of evolvement on our soul’s journey.
The truth is that yes there will be an impact when we speak “Our Truth”, and whether it is a “Truth” in our personal lives, or a “Truth” to support someone else’s life, it is an action that was part of our “Destiny Soul Evolution”. Speaking up or out for takes courage and tenacity. These are elements of our “Divined Design” that are critical to our character and growth. “Great Spirit” does not expect us to “SIT” on what we have been endowed with! “The One Source”, our gracious and omnipotent creator, has poured so much into all of who we are, physically, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually, that there is nothing in who we are that is lack and limitation.
It is our choosing of who we want to manifest in this life’s journey that differentiates us from one another. Tuesday represents the invitation to be bold in your life and share your authentic amazing understanding of what is right from wrong, just or unjust. Believe me when I say, that once you open up and live in alignment with what your soul is calling you out to do and be in this world, you will never relinquish the power, the beauty, the expression of love, and compassion that occupies your “Soul”. It does not get better than that! It is total liberation!
Ashé! Have a Blessed day walking in your “Truth”!

Each and every day they are in their process of discovering who they are!
Some of what I want to do in this category of Blogs for parents, is to go back to my book, “Embracing the Gift of Parenthood”, and reiterate and expound on different elements of the book that I feel will be helpful and that as we grow and evolve as parents, that there is still more truth and knowledge to color the context and content of our parenting strategies and philosophy. One area of development and growth that I feel is crucial in raising and nurturing our children is that of helping them in the development of their character traits and behavior. This of course involves us first looking at ourselves and coming to terms about what we do and do not want to pass on to our children.
Introspection and retrospection are important tools for us to access where we are in our own character evolution. Parents have to live the qualities of character they want to cultivate in the personality of their child. In each stage of development whether it is the child’s development or the relationship of child and parent, it takes a lifetime to acquire all of these crucial attributes that make up the fulfillment of the human design. We cannot abandon our children to this world of trickery, greed, and lust. We owe it to them and to society as a whole, to raise children that will evolve to become contributing and functional adults. Are you up to the challenge? Are you ready to take on a journey that will help you become more of who you really are? If your answer to these questions is yes, then by all means let’s continue the conversation. This journey of parenthood is really not as complicated as it is seems.
These children that we are making a lifetime commitment to are gifts that we ultimately have no physical or emotional control over. What we do have, if we have done our work, is a spiritual connection that will never separate them from us. It is this connection that last a lifetime and beyond. When we have spent time modeling the appropriate attributes, values, and morals we can rely on this spiritual relationship to guide them throughout their lives. Our thoughts and feelings will transmit to them in the most obscure way.
Can you remember when you were in the mist of doing something you knew that you were not supposed to do and you would hear your mother’s or father’s voice in your head? Sometimes you would get a lump in your throat or discomfort in the pit of your stomach! The most amazing thing is when we actually hear ourselves saying or doing things to or for our children that our parents said or did to or for us. Many times, these responses are unintentional and merely more like a reflex response. We must make sure that we carry only those things that are loving and respectful. We don’t want to impose anything on our children that is offensive and destructive. Think of what you share with them in the process of parenting, to build good self-esteem and confidence in your child. Let your words and actions demonstrate the best of what you have to offer. This is the part of being a parent that makes it all worthwhile.
Cherish these days of your child’s youth. These days don’t last forever, and they pass quickly. The opportunity we have to influence them and make an imprint on their life is so short. Peers take over before you know it and if you have not built a firm foundation for your relationship, you will miss the opportunity of a lifetime. This is about building blocks that will carry them throughout life with tools to navigate society and their own personal divine journey!
#2 -A Thought 4 Monday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day!
Each Day In Your Life is Unique!
Monday as a day for “Attunement” and finding a sense of “harmony and transformation” as we move through Monday which sets the pace and quality of our lives. Oh, what a great opportunity this day provides for us. What a great way to start our week. If it is our intention to operate in a space of harmony so that we are in alignment with all that is positive and life giving in our day, we come through the day at peace and not exhausted from having to fight endless battles of discord that are constantly trying to engage us in “foolishness”!
We don’t have time to be distracted or taken out of our joy and peace. We are the light that transforms the dark. We are the transformers that are busy bringing wholeness and a sense of harmony in this world that is upside down and inside out. We are intentional about living a life worth living because we know ultimately, we are not doing this alone. There is more that we can see. There is more that we can hear. There is always more truth and knowledge to seek that supports the beauty and grace of the fabric of our lives.
Take today, this Monday, to set the pace of your week. Have a good day and know that you are being blessed in some way no matter what might come your way.
So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression. May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

The Messenger- “Great Spirit” Woke Me Up This Morning With A Sense of Pain That Rocked My Soul!
Where Would Jesus find His Home?
I was given a vision that Said it all,
It rocked my world it rocked my soul,
Where was Jesus going to find the place of his earthly home,
That was no more.
He walked the streets of Galilee,
Of Nazareth, of Isreal, and Palestine that was no more,
His heart was broken; his tears filled the holes of spaces that no longer existed that had been shattered with bombs built from hatred and greed.
He looked to the Heavens and yelled out to God,
Oh, Father in Heaven have they learned nothing in the thousands of years that I sacrificed my life for them?
Have they not heard a word I shared, that offered them love, mercy, and grace?
Why do they stand by and let evil prevail, when I gave them the simplest of rules to live by?
Do they really think I want them in separate houses of prayer, while all around them the world operates in tyranny and fear?
Do they honestly think I would want to return to this?
What is the point in praising my name, when at the same time they are not doing the work to save mankind?
Nothing has changed in the consciousness of humanity, and they will never on their own take accountability.
I hear you Father, I know what you want, but this time you must step in and handle this mess!
There is a void and abyss that I cannot fill for them.
You created them, it was your vision of who was worthy of occupying this planet in our massive universe, but honestly Father, Mother, God, I think only you have the power and capability of forgiving this betrayal! I have waited thru grace to return to them, but what I have seen and heard makes me realize that perhaps the sacrifice of my life was not enough.
Ashé! Ashé! Amen! Ameen! Āmēn!

#2 A Thought 4 Sunday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day!
Each Day In Your Life is Unique!
Sunday provides a resurrection energy for our daily life experiences. Sunday provides us the opportunity to return to the “Source” from which we were created. This is truly a day we need to intentionally set aside a time and space to return to the “One Source”.
Tying ourselves to a particular religion does not in any way supersede our original connection with “Great Spirit”. That is a “WOMB” connection. That is a “Creation” connection that was in us from before our earthly birth. Nothing ever can really separate us from that from which we were designed, created to be on both the physical and spiritual elements of our being.
Somehow in our infinite wisdom to seek a sense of superiority and separate ourselves from one another, the human manufacturing of religious doctrines has been the tool to follow the imperfections of our intellect and abandon the perfection of our souls. We were designed to be in communion with each other.
“Great Spirit” is constantly calling us back unto itself to resurrect that original design of our total being- mind, body, and spirit. We need time to hear ourselves think. We need time to “Have a Little Talk With The One Source”. We need time to check in with ourselves and reflect and evaluate if we are moving and living within our divine purpose and divine identity, or are we living outside of ourselves and have allowed the world to take possession of our soul.
Take a little time today to resurrect who you really are and how you really want to be and live in this life experience. You are a light that must not be dimmed and dismissed.
So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression. May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.
Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!

#2 A Thought 4 Saturday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day!
Each Day In Your Life is Unique!
Saturday is spiritually connected with the energies of completion and wisdom. Saturday asks us to release what can be unburdened so that our soul can find rest. This can be the most amazing day if you use it thoughtfully and wisely. It can offer you whatever your heart desires to manifest for your wellbeing if you decide to make yourself a priority today! Can you even imagine the peace and joy you can create for yourself today. Even if you are still engaged in your “Work Week”, you can consciously make space to release and let go.
If that seems too difficult for you to balance, then take whatever day you have the least amount of obligations and infuse the “Saturday Vibration” into how you want to regain your vitality and restore your “Spirit”. You are entitled to unburden your soul, mind and body from the “Worldly Drama” that tries to consume our lives. This is your life experience that you were destined to evolve through, and you cannot control the whole story, but there are elements that you do have control over.
Today you can survey how you utilize this day of restoration, and evaluate what are the elements that you want to have dominion over. Do It! Do You! Be your space of caring, loving and honoring who you are and what you need in life that really sustains who you are authentically. Rest! Restore! Renew your “Spirit”!
So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression. May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.
Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!
