Breaking News!! It’s A New Day!!! October 29th, 2024- Day 70 Hard as We May Try, There is No Other Artist as Magnificent as “Great Spirit”. !Today is a day that “Great Spirit” has ordained for your life and soul expression. 

To be blessed to see this sky is a
Sacred gift from “Great Spirit”.

Daily Mantra:

There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

Chat for the day: 

I don’t know when the last time was that you had an opportunity to sit before a masterpiece like this, but I try to chase these skies whenever I can.  I was just reflecting on what happens to me when I “slow down” and allow myself to drift off into that spiritual realm that brings me peace, joy, and a feeling of an enormous love engulfing my whole being. It is in those moments I feel as if I am sitting in the presence of “Great Spirit” communing and sharing my inner most thoughts and gratitude for the closeness and beauty of our relationship.  I think that sometimes “Great Spirit” intentionally tries to get my attention and knowing how much I love the sun rising and setting every day and the moon rising up to fill the void of the sunlight and illuminate the sky to guide us through the night, “Great Spirit” puts on a special show just for you and me.

 This is the time of year the portal to the heavenly realm is open and available to us. It is a beautiful time of the year, and it calls us to slow down and pay attention.  Pay attention to the smallest details of what you see and hear.  This is the time for major conversation between us and those that operate for us on the other side of the veil.  It is actually a lot of fun to know that we can engage with our angels, guides, ancestors, and “Great Spirit”!  It is in those sacred moments when we are basking in the warmth of the morning’s sun or sitting in the glow of the evening moon, we are one with the universe and the creator of all the beauty and grace that “Great Spirit” decides to share with you and me!

The principle to live by that will support our destiny path is: Slowing down and paying attention–

    Sunday Morning Prayers-#65. “Thou Preparest a Table Before Me in the Presence of Mine Enemies:  Thou Anointest My Head With Oil; My Cup Runneth Over! This is Why My Faith Runs My Life!

    There is hope and fulfillment at the end of our rainbow!

    Dear “Great Spirit”,

    We can feel your presence before us when we are challenged by people and forces that mean us harm and try to separate us from our connection with thee.  We know that we must be steadfast in our faith and trust that we are within the protection of your love for us, anointed, blessed, and covered.  We know that there is no time in our life experience that we are truthfully disconnected from you, because you love us unconditionally and eternally.  We can sometimes fall between the cracks and pitfalls that are a part of life, but we have an inner confidence that you will catch us if we fall, or if there is disruption on the line that tries to muffle our connection with you, your hear us any way. 

    Our life is full of the goodness and beauty that you have provided for us even when sometimes we feel things seem out of control and beyond our grasp.  You are as close as the breath we breathe, and the beat of our heart.  You see us in all aspects of our life and even when we forget to pray for help or pray for answers to our problems, you respond in our best interest, in your time, right on time, and with the best resolve for our life.  We have to run our life with and through faith, for there is no other way to realize our “divine purpose” without the hand of “Great Spirit” leading us and guiding us along the way.  This is the time to be convicted in our faith that we are being cared for with intentional love and compassion because the world is operating on a negative vibration which calls each of us to rise up in our faith in the power of “Great Spirit” and collectively raise the vibration toward the heavens.   With and through “Great Spirit” all things good are possible.

    Ashé!  Ashé!!  Ashé!!!   Amen!!!!

    Sunday Morning Prayers-#64. Resistance, Ego, Pride -the Disconnect to “Great Spirit”!

    We can never fully disconnect completely from
    “Great Spirit”!

    Dear “Great Spirit”,

    We get so absorbed in ourselves and how we think we are in control with everything in our life expression, that we allow resistance, our ego, and our pridefulness to take over.  We push our interconnection with thee “Great Spirit” to the side, thinking we know everything and are not in need of your love and attention in our life.  We could not be more wrong.  Many times, we get caught up in being so resistant to things that are meant to bless our lives that we miss the message and that these blessings are direct gifts that “Great Spirit “is trying to shower us with. 

    We get so full of ourselves that it puts a distance between us and our blessings.  We have got to work through the need to let our pride and ego prevent us from using our gift of discernment to evaluate if we are in a state of resistance to being resistant of letting go of control!  We need your engagement in our lives “Great Spirit”.  We need to know when it is and is not appropriate for us to resist things in life.  We need to know when our ego is running the show and is not in our best interest.  We need to know when our pride is impacting the beauty and light of our divine identity”!  We need to make sure that our connection with thee is intact and is a central part of our life experience so that we are in alignment with thee, and that we are grounded so profoundly in our relationship with thee that we live the life you designed for us. 

    Ashé!   Ashé!! Ashé!!! Amen!!!!

    Mama said,“Stop Complaining and Just Do Something Constructive”!  Day 54-ADC 24. We Are Not Going To Let Fear Dictate How We Live and How We Vote!

    We look to the heavens and to each other from whence cometh our strenght.

    This is my theme today and is being shared across my blogs.  We cannot have faith in the work we are doing and let fear slip in and steal our momentum.  We need to hold on to the faith that we have that our candidates are going to win this election because there is no other choice.  We have faith that they are the right people to take the positions of President and Vice President of this nation.  We know that our country and the world need the righteous justice, intelligence, fortitude, and experience they have to put this country and the world back on its axis.  It is time for the gifts they are holding to start the process of healing the hatred and divisiveness that is crushing the spirits and aspirations of good will and sanity in our humanity. 

    They need our support, and we need their support to bring ourselves out of this darkness that is trying to capture and destroy the soul expression of our humanity.  I feel like this is what Jesus must have felt in Getsemani when he felt the burdens of the world on His shoulders.  We know what kindness, morality, justice, compassion, inclusiveness, love, peace and joy, feels like and we know that is what humanity is starving for, but the “nature of the beast” in some of us, do not want that to be everybody’s reality. 

    It is our collective birthright.  It is a thread in our divine design and in our individual “divine identities”!  We know what it is, and we know that we want it, but we struggle on how to attain it and sustain it.  Kamala and Tim are going to have a fight on their hands to bring civility, cooperation, and compromise as a tools to bring this nation back on track and in alignment with its purpose.  It is not going to just happen”! 

    We are not going to heal with some magic potion.  But we will heal because we are going to hold on to our faith in humanity and faith in “Great Spirit”.  We are not alone in this battle for the soul of humanity.  There are forces seen and unseen that are working with us and through us!  We just have to be “faithful” to the “Cause”!  Be strong in your stance for our Democracy!  Be bold in your convictions that we have a “Constitution” that is a living document that we can uphold our principles of goodness and fairness upon.  We got this and the Eternal Powers that be-has us!

    Breaking News!! It’s A New Day!!! October 16th, 2024- Day 60. Living a Fearless Life!  You Cannot Hold Faith and Fear at the Same Time! Today is a day that “Great Spirit” has ordained for your life and soul expression.   

    Sometimes we have to step out on a limb and let our faith take over!

    Daily Mantra:

    There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

    Chat for the day: 

    Yes, that is the message that came through today.  We are living in such a state of anxiety and fear of what the future holds that we forget that we are not alone in the chaos and confusion that is vibrating on this planet at this time.  To be real, it has always been a challenge for “Great Spirit”, to balance us out from the beginning of time.  The difference now is the access to social media that feeds our souls with information that we don’t know what to believe is in fact real or manipulation to force us into living a fearful disoriented life. 

    We buy into the systems that control our lives and thought processes.  Consequently, we are stuck thinking as a collective humanity that we are not capable of shifting our consciousness and the vibration of the planet from a negative vibration to a positive vibration.  We have the capacity through our faith and fearless soul expressions, to counterbalance the negative with a positive vibration that can light up the world and set mankind back in alignment with “Great Spirit”.  We are created with a “Spirit” that is more powerful when entrenched in our faith, to do anything that is required to live in a world that is in alignment with our soul’s desire to be in full expression of love, peace, joy, and compassion for one another.

    So as of today, we are stepping into our power which is founded and expressed in our Faith!  We refuse to allow anyone or circumstance of life that challenges our wellbeing to have control over our evolved consciousness which is in relationship with “Great Spirit”. Have a beautiful stressless day.  Make sure to nurture your body, mind, and soul, in “care for self”!

    The principle to live by that will support our destiny path is:

    Sunday Morning Prayers-#62 Plain and Simple! We Cannot Live The Life “Great Spirit” Intended For Us Without-Faith and Trust In Our Relationship!

    We simply don’t get it-
    Let Go and Let “Great Spirit” Work on Your Behalf!

    One of our biggest flaws as human beings is impatience and the need for immediate gratification.  Well, news flash- the universe does not work like that.  We are so blessed, and we have so much to be grateful for, cause but for the grace of “Great Spirit” and our reckless care for our planet, which is now fighting back with a vengeance, we could be facing the unforgiving storms that have left so many people devastated.  We struggle with trying to control every element of our lives which is absolutely impossible and unreasonable.  We wrestle with trying to be in charge at all times, and we can’t!  the lesson is about a walk of “Faith”.  The lesson is about “Trust”!  The lesson is about knowing that “Great Spirit”, is working behind the scenes and will come through for us, in time and right on time.  “Great Spirit”, is ahead of the game and knows that if we struggle and push too hard and the universe keeps saying “no”, there is a reason and perhaps not the season or circumstances that are in our best interest. 

    When things just seem to have continuous roadblocks, it is a signal for us to-Stop-Pay Attention-Reflect- and hand it over to “Great Spirit”.  We have to believe that we have a lifetime partner in our relationship with “Great Spirit”.  We have to believe that what is for us will be given to us.  It does not mean we sit back and not aspire for things or not make an effort to resolve a challenge that has confronted us.  It means that we do our part and then we have faith and trust that “Great Spirit”, will support us in manifesting the right thing at the right time.  Remember- You can’t say you have faith and trust as the core element of this special relationship and then turn around and still try to control the outcome.  Know that you are never alone handling all the elements of your life so take a step back from your pride and let’s humble ourselves and accept the gift of being able to ask for help and grateful enough to receive the help.  At first it can be scary, but trust me, once you release and let go, putting your faith into practice, it is amazing what you will experience.

    So “Great Spirit”,

    Please help us to understand our powerful and life giving our relationship is with you.  Quiet the anxiousness of our human response to life challenges and teach us how to have faith and trust in you so that we can live a healthy, whole and happy life.

    Ashé!  Ashé!! Ashé!!!  Amen!!!!

    En Español. ¡¡Noticias de última hora!! ¡Es un nuevo día!!  4 de octubre de 2024- Día 51 Hoy es un día que el “Gran Espíritu” ha ordenado para tu vida y la expresión de tu alma.

    Tenemos que inculcar este mensaje a nuestros hijos
    para que sepan quiénes son y lo que valen.  

    Daily Mantra:

    There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

    Chat for the day: 

    It is important for us to be in the world as our authentic “Divine Identities”, but by no means are we to allow anyone to treat us with disrespect and unkindness.  Our Creator calls us to be “in the world” but not “of the world”!  This is an important distinction, and we must realize that being “of the world” distracts us and separates us from being in the sacred space that shields us from allowing people to influence and dictate who we are and what we are worthy of.  We were designed and created by “The Infinite”, “The Source”, ‘The Alpha and the Omega”.  We were created with all that we need to fulfill our “divine purpose”, by none other than “Great Spirit”. We are lacking in nothing!  We are complete and just who we were ordained to be as a blessing to this world.  We are here to love, learn, give our gifts, experience the full range of our emotions as we live life, and to evolve spiritually so that our soul has voice and expression in our lifetime. 

    We are not here to be dismissed or abused.  We are not here to have our gifts stifled or devalued. We are here to leave the vibration of our soul expression on the heart space of humanity.  We are here to ask questions that will enlighten us and feed our brain and soul.  We are here to deepen our love for “Great Spirit” and all that has been provided for us to live “our best life” and to “be the best version of our higher self”.  Walk in your truth.  Fill the spaces you inhabit with the warmth of the joy you carry in your “spirit”.  Let people see you for who you are, and when in doubt, just come out and ask them if they see you, especially when you know they are not treating you appropriately.   Walk in the beauty and majesty of who you are.  Don’t under any circumstances dim your light to build others up for each of us have that light within us and it is our responsibility to shine it with as much brilliance as possible.  Be totally in your life.  Feel alive! Breathe with the rhythmic pulse of your sweetness and kindness because it can be contagious.  shower the world with your joy and thirst for life so that others will know how valuable the gift of life is.  Be you! Be you! You are enough!

        Look for the little things in life that represent beauty and peace.

        Daily Mantra:

        There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

        There is so much going on in our world today on all the fronts that impact either directly or indirectly!   We are each as individuals and as global citizens, being confronted with issues from economics, emotional-mental wellbeing, spiritual warfare, family issues, political confusion, climate crisis, Ai and social media responsibility and accountability, education, retirement, housing, etc.  Now that it is all out there let’s take a deep breath and come to an understanding that we as individuals we only have control over what is impacting our life.  It is imperative that we assess what we can take control over and what we cannot control and decide what is best for us to do in prioritizing what to do and how we can handle our priorities. 

        We cannot control the 21+ wars that the world is engaging in.  We cannot control the economics, climate change, etc., in our country except how we vote and how engaged we want to be on the political front.  The personal aspects of our life need us to find ways to hold on to our “peace”, because that is the only way we will be able live our lives with some measure of stability and joy.  The mess that is going on in our world today, has been going on since the beginning of time, and because of the screwed-up nature of who we are being in our humanity, that is not going to change without hard work.  Meanwhile, we deserve to find our peace!  We deserve to live our joy!  We deserve to not just survive, but to thrive.  We have the right to live in beauty and experience the fulfillment of what “Great Spirit” intended for us. Do something today that gives you joy and peace.

        The principle to live by that will support our destiny path is –Find your peace and hold on to it!

        Breaking News!! It’s A New Day!!!  September 24th, 2024- Day 42 Happiest of Daughter’s Day

        Today is a day that “Great Spirit” has ordained for your life and soul expression.

        You hold them in your arms when they are little
        It is one relationship that is worth the investment!

        Daily Mantra:

        There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

        Chat for the day: 

        I woke up this morning to find out it was “Happy Daughter’s Day”, and it caused me to just sit in a smile for a while as I reflected on my life’s journey with my daughter Nicole Angel!  It is amazing to have the gift of sharing your life with the love and respect of a daughter.  I think it means different things for Moms and Dads because there is a special kind of connection between Moms and daughters that I can’t really explain.  I don’t know if it is because we as women can identify with the unique elements of being a woman.  We have shared experiences with our daughters at different stages of our life. When we bond with each other in this special relationship, I cannot express how beautiful and fulfilling it can be.  They say that the cells of our children that we birth stay in our blood till eternity.  Can you imagine how deep that relationship has the potential of being.  I treasure my relationship with my daughter and feel so blessed to have been given the gift to be her vessel to enter this earthly plain. 

        Dads have their own special connection to their daughters.  Innately, most fathers feel like they are their daughter’s protectors.  They are the ones who take it upon themselves to make sure they are cared for in terms of their security not just physically but financially.  Fathers can have the advantage of reading and identifying with the other males which can give them an advantage in protecting, nurturing and guiding their daughters in learning how to be discerning in their own relationships. 

        So today as we celebrate the gift of having our daughters, let’s do something special for them like:

        Text them a love note

        Write them a love note and send it to them- I still have love notes from my mother

        Send them candy or flowers

        Cook them their favorite meal

        Do whatever is your special little something between the two of you

        I know that my sisters feel the same way about their daughters as well.  I can see the imprint we have had on each of them.  I can see how this is an eternal relationship is real from our own family life experiences.  I count my Niki as my greatest life blessing!

        The principle to live by that will support our destiny path is -opening our hearts to love
