Trying to define who, what and where you are at this very moment

2016-09-14T22:06:00.000-04:00

Good evening sunshine!

Trying to define who, what and where you are at this very moment; ah this can be an awesome task for anyone. It's everlasting.... like the never ending story, but you have the time to figure it out. You just have to make the time. There are 24 hours (give or take) in a day.

Years of research studies and expert findings all lead to going within yourself to find answers. Taking time to do this, going within and speaking to spirit, is your part. It is there waiting for you to unleash the powers. How? Well only you can answer that question sunshine.

Ask yourself the following questions carefully:

Who are you?
What are you doing?
Where do you go from here?

Ohm.

No answers yet? Ask again tomorrow and the next day and even the next. This can be frustrating and daunting, but keep at it. Keep asking questions; this type and more. Remember love, no question is a dumb question.

All answers to questions asked are from the Divine. Trust yourself to hear, listen for andone day know the answers.

This is a journey worth taking. Shall we begin?

Until next time family,

I am PHENOMPICCOLI

CONVERSATIONS

2016-04-29T10:56:00.002-04:00

Good morning SUNSHINE!

This is something that I wrote in 2015...what a great way to begin again...Happy April. Welcome May.

Midway thru 2016, let's have this CONVERSATION:

Let’s have that conversation, that will change the nation, creating a vibration

Of love, peace and harmony.

In fact, if we have that conversation, that will bring on the creation of more change and oppression,

More connection than transgression, with the lesser of aggression and move love and affection.

We are what we speak.

Who we are to be and where we are divinely placed are the answers we should seek.

As you move forward in your journey forward,

Don’t forget to have that conversation, that will change the nation, creating a vibration of love peace and harmony.

In fact, once that conversation is started, continued, finished and we have departed, use your ability to act now!

Not asking when or how, but pulling together the elements and tools that were left for us to use by our ancestors,

Granting us permission to push forth and will against the oppressors.

I challenge you to have that conversation, changing nations, creating vibrations to take back your birthright and foresight.

I also challenge you to bring forth love, peace and harmony by any means necessary.

Contrary to popular belief, I am indeed,

Exposed

2015-12-30T11:28:00.000-05:00

Greetings Family:

During a normal day, you go about doing your chores or your daily routine, never exposing what it is you are really thinking, doing and where you truly want to go. Afraid of exposure? Afraid someone will find out? Trust me. They will soon find out. You are too busy hiding and exposure of it is right in front of you. You may can fool others, but you can not fool yourself. :)

My point is this: we have to stop hiding our true selves and go about living life for you (your own universe). You have to take charge, take responsibility and take action of your life. It is always easier said than done...but keep saying it until you can do it. Life is about choices and decisions. At any given moment, we have to make split decisions or none at all. It's the roll of the dice. LOL.

Make the exposure for the best of you. Putting your best foot forward is the challenge. Do it so that you can be happy! Expose yourself to the best self yet! You don't know what good could happen. You will be happy that you did it and who knows what could happen next.

Stay tuned, maybe we will do an exclusive EXPOSE on our next visit.

Indeed family,

Phenompiccoli
This life brings new beginnings everyday and every night. Be prepared for every moment.

Feeling a little meh?

2015-07-08T19:27:00.001-04:00

Good evening Sunshines!

Different huh? Well, I think now I will be changing things up a little bit. I am confident that you will enjoy what I have to say. Lately, as I continue to travel on this journey, life has my MEH! What I mean by that is things are not going the way as planned. No short cuts, but more like the long way to reach the golden ring. It is frustrating and depressing to know that you are so close but it feels that you are so far away. Even when the SIGHS, meditation, motivation and inspiration seem not to work...just get quiet.

You would think well: I want to cry, scream, fight, jump, be angry and the whole 9...but what does that change? Relief yes, but the situation? It still remains. Honestly, I have no solution. What works best is the effort that you put in to relieve the stress. What is the best option? How do I get past this? 5 years from now will it matter? These are the questions I am asking right now. There is hope. It is close. I know, but it feels so far away. I am in the thick of it. This is real time. It gets better. I believe it and so should you.

Let's reconvene until next time shall we? Maybe the updates will be a better version of MEH. More like AHHHH! :)

Enjoy your time and moments family,

YOUR (your own universe reveals) PERCEPTION

2015-07-06T12:00:00.000-04:00

PERCEPTION

Good morning Sunshine!

Perception.
A key word used to decipher or give meaning/definition/understanding to some sort of object (sometimes) of/in present or future tense. How do you perceive yourself? What do you perceive the outcome will be? Those types of questions give insight to the full meaning of perception.

To piggyback on that which was stated above, what is your perception? How do your views stand up to world views? Again, how do you perceive yourself? You can internalize the word and make it work to benefit you (your own universe). Examine everything. The good. The bad. The ugly. The indifferent. The straddle the fence syndrome. Everything! Take ownership of it and make the necessary changes so that your perception of skewed views become clear and those that are clear become definite.

I perceive this to be a wonderful moment in time and an awesome day! I perceive that you will find your balance and work towards the goals that you have set forth to manifest within your life. I perceive that you will change your mind, your thinking, your way of life. I perceive that it is done so now. Namaste!

Indeed family,

Opportunity

Opportunity for Greatness!

Good morning Sunshine ~

Times such as these, opportunities appear to be far and in between... Or is that the illusion that we entrust our minds with? With what is said, it is of utmost importance to keep a good positive attitude, vibe and open mind about everything. I know, I know...you probably say to yourself, what do you know about my life? What I go through on a daily basis? Indeed, you are correct - I DON'T know, but I do know that it gets better. Patience, not my best friend, but my friend till the end.

Know this: Worry Helps Nothing! And the word IMPOSSIBLE is missing an A and 2 spaces. Today trumps yesterday. Time waits for no one. We have heard these words time and time again, but now it is time to put them in action. What's your plan of action for opportunity? Are you going to wait for it to knock or are you going to do something about it? A decision has to be made. I encourage you to make it. Either way, the choice is yours.

Make it a great one family!

Hotep.

Harboring All That's Envious

Good morning Sunshine!

Learning, looking and listening are good habits to have/establish and not hard to come by. Being open and receptive to these habits are key. Knowledge comes in all types of forms, streaming in daily. GI/GO Garbage in/Garbage out, but you can change the terminology if necessary. As with anything that you do, there will be opposition, especially when it is contingent upon make things better for you, your family or both.
I sat down with my family to watch "Remember the Titans"...awesome movie about race relations. A good eye-opener for your own ideals about race. I related this movie back to myself, asking questions such as am I NOT being open and receptive to all people regardless of race, color, creed, or ability? Are there any personal hangups about a culture that I am not familiar with? Do I have any issues that I need to dispel? Sadly, I have to say yes to all. As I have stated before, I can only speak for myself and change me. On the plus side, this is something that I can gradually work on. Change is not always immediate but is indeed constant. (Phenom Piccoli 2012)
For an instant, I felt as if I was the one that was filled with HATE: Harboring All That's Envious. I had to check myself; because of fear of the unknown, I cowardly choose hate as the scape goat of choice. NO WAY! That's not my M.O. at all. So my fellow readers, I encourage you to do the following:

CHECK & ERASE H.A.T.E., REPLACE & EDUCATE!

Not a bad idea at all. It starts within & manifests through you. Learn to change HATE.

Indeed family, blessings...

Good morning Sunshine!

Image is everything is a frequent saying around the world. Imagery can be at its worst or best, it is all based upon the eye of the beholder. As we embark on the word image, I want you to take a look at this word closely. The word IMAGE commands you to use your mind and your eyes to see things.
It is the "unofficial" motivator of dreams. Images can represent what you want or don't want in your life. Images can bring historic thoughts to your mind, which may help in getting over a problem, someone, something, or moving forward to where you want to be.

Images create! Images motivate! Images get the ball rolling to the next level! Images promote! As the root word for imagine, I can attest to things where a fleeting IMAGE in my mind has created something tangible in my life. Try to use this chant or thought throughout the day:

The images in my mind are created to promote my well-being. I can see myself in this positive image that is in my mind. God has given me the picture to create and the ability to see it through or manifest in my life. Through this image(s), I can, I shall, I will, I must succeed.

Indeed family, as always, make the IMAGE created arise and manifest in your life.

LOVE'S MEMO: Poetically Speaking written by Phenompiccoli

2014-08-01T17:11:00.002-04:00

IT IS INDEED A GREAT DAY LOVIES!

It has been a while since we last spoke but alas! I am back in the swing of things! I have been busy lately but that is no excuse for not writing. I have been exploring and learning and loving more on me. Sometimes you have to take a step back to make the great leap forward. That is just what I did. To update you, I have written and now published my first book called.: LOVE'S MEMO: Poetically Speaking by Phenompiccoli.

Yes, the love factor is in the building! It is my first book and I am very proud of it. I am thankful to share it with you and I hope you enjoy reading it as my as I have enjoyed writing it.

I poured myself into my poetry. A healing process of sorts and a channel to place those energies that I did not understand or needed to explore more. I looked within myself and found that I love me more than I have in a very long time.

In fact, my findings were not only original in relation to me, but they are universal in the appeal to the hearts and minds of "like" energies in the great beyond.

I am thankful and grateful for your listening ear. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life. Thank you also for allowing me to share with you ME.

Love's Memo will be available on Amazon.com on 8/6/2014! Go and download it on that day. Also, when you get a chance, check out my group on Facebook: UNLEASHED: The Prolifics of Phenompiccoli. Spread the word. I am back and it is indeed an honor and a pleasure to be here.

Until next time family, namaste.

Indeed,

Unbridled confidence?

2014-01-23T12:32:00.000-05:00

CONFIDENCE. The word itself can appear to be astounding, but unbridled confidence? Where do we stand with that? No one says it is a bad thing, or that it straddles the fence or that it is an over-the-top-like attitude that we can not adjust to. Something that has not been "spoken about" but noticed all the same. What can we do with this specific type confidence? Well, we can analyze, accept and access it.
Let's begin, shall we?

ANALYSIS

UNBRIDLED CONFIDENCE can be defined as thus (Disclaimer: indeed my personal definition of the compound word): an air of attraction that can make you stand out in a crowd; a dripping sensation of surety within your well-being that is noticed by everyone you pass by or interact with briefly or continuously; endorphins that make you aware you are going to the next level without restriction.

ACCEPTANCE

How do we go about accepting this? Just accept the challenge! Would this be considered arrogance? By no means NO! Could this be considered as conceit then? Well, indeed my friend, not at all. Hence the term/compound word unbridled confidence, can sound a little intimidating? Only if you allow it to be. I tend to live by my quote: Change your mind. Change your thinking. Change your way of life. 3 simple sentences that can help render the challenge of walking with unbridled confidence. It has a sort of "swagger" if you will. You can manage it any way that you see fit. This is not a hard concept to accept. You take it and run with it! Run like the wind, mind you!

ACCESS

How do you access this type of behavior? My 3 simple sentences quote. My psyche can not handle such vast concept? If this is what you think of yourself, change it. Be extreme! It is there for you to take hold. Grasp the concept and hold on. What is the best that could happen to you now? Know your worth. Analyze, accept and access the best of yourself and keep up that kind attitude. You are the best thing going for yourself and you know this; act like it!

Come on in, the water is just fine!

2014-01-07T15:24:00.000-05:00

Good afternoon lovies,

I have been away but I still remain faithful. I have been travelling on a spiritual journey and it is safe to say that I have learned a lot on this path. To get straight to the point, I wanted to post a sample of what I have been writing in my notes. These writings or epiphanies of happenstance seem to hit me out of nowhere when I am just quiet; like a freight train of words.

I need to post this disclaimer however because, many may not understand my writings or what I am trying to convey. Please read with an open mind and you are welcome to post any comments. I welcome them and I thank you for taking the time to read, review and maybe, perhaps, relate.
In love and in kind, as always family, it has been a pleasure.

Normal postings will resume shortly. LOL!

Indeed,

PhenomPiccoli

Come on in! The water is fine!

Crack kills. So does misinformation.

If not obtained from the source but thru an outlet viewed as one but not verified will indeed circumvent the true meaning and essence of truth.
Albeit that many scribes have written truth and many have written lies.
Which do you believe? How do you believe, as told verbatim or as from within?
We often misnomer ourselves because of our surroundings. We feel more comfortable in the illusion of comfort. What happens when it disappears into thin air just like it appeared?
We don't think that far because of our existing belief system.
Think for yourself! Awaken to the challenges presented before you children. Accepting the status quo and to behave like cattle is beneath the essence of your being. Awaken the inner man, the 3rd eye; the realm of subconsciousness. Here in lies the truth of the universal system made of planetary alignments with other dimensions unknown to mankind.
Come on and tap in, the water (of life and true knowledge) is fine.

Persistence

2013-08-27T14:30:00.000-04:00

Persistence

Good Morning Sunshine!

     I have learned that being persistent can makes things look as if it takes forever. Also, when you are trying to exercise, being "persistent" is the last thing that you want to do, especially when you are tired. With that said, persistence takes training and patience; two items are based on a continuum. How do you pull it together? How do you hold on? You haven't seen all that I have to go thru so you don't know the half of what I have to deal with everyday? You JUST DO IT! (like NIKE says and your grandma too).

   In light of recent events, I have the "challenge" of moving on and forward. It is really hard because someone very close to me was plucked from my life like a flower. I feel as if I am not complete anymore. But, in the meantime, I have to be persistent and continue on with my life. Yes, it is hard as hell. Yes, I am not in this boat by myself and yes, I do have to finish (or attempt to finish) this race called life. Why you ask? Because I am persistent. I have to be. There is no choice because the other way tells me to just curl up and disintegrate into oblivion. (ehh...we will live that choice just where it lies....alone).

     Being persistent takes time, patience, focus and attitude. All have to be adjusted or you have to adjust yourself accordingly. Either way, we continue to move forward.

Be persistent in your travels. Be confident. Be persistent in your life. Walk with purpose. Live on purpose. Walk with ingenuity. Be genuine. Persist in your journey. LIVE~LAUGH~LOVE~BE.

Surrounding Yourself with Positivity

2013-08-26T17:00:00.000-04:00

Surrounding Yourself with Positivity

Good morning Sunshine!

     The daily trudge of life can get weary, even for the most positive person, (I can attest to that). When you need to recharge, try to surround yourself with positivity. This can be people, a place(s), things, words or ideas. Recharging your energy is always needed in order to keep going. There are no "written" instructions to this life and how we can maintain it, but there are clues given to us in the form of positivity that we can take with us along our journey.
     Positively speaking of course, this can very well take a minute to ingest. If you are not use to doing or being positive on a continuous basis, please by all means start small and work your way up. For example, just breathing exercises can come into play for about five minutes or so; enough time to take a fleeting moment for yourself. Another example would be to have a website/blog/book where you can read a few passages to take your mind off of other things (worry woes for example). A brisk walk helps, even if it is down the hall, around the corner, and back to your desk.
     The monotony of the daily trudge gets us all into a routine that we can sometimes dislike. It may not always be school, your job or the people that you work with or encounter that you don't like, it could be the routine.
     Give your routine a little spice action - change it up! Try and do things differently from day to day, starting with when you wake up. This builds character and can build a positive energy flow. Surround yourself with positivity from day to day and from time to time. The benefits go far beyond the day.
     Make it a great one family!

EVOLUTION

2013-08-26T12:28:00.002-04:00

Indeed family, it has been a while. Many transitions have transpired over the course of months past. I have been away on a mental and physical transformation of sorts. Kind of like the caterpillar and the cocoon. I am now the butterfly finding her way. With that said, as I travel on this journey, I noticed that I am not at all alone.
When trying to focus and maintain sanity, you sometimes lose your way, stop or do nothing. At times and recently, I have done them all. I have lost my way. I have stopped on the pathway and just stood and looked. I have done nothing...just because I could do so. It's good to know that there have been others that have traveled this same journey before you and can listen to your story, relate to it (your story) and help you on your way.
As the adage says: "All things happen for a reason", it is true and you may not understand WHY at the time. It is a "growing season" and a "lesson of fine tuning" of you as a person, your spirit and your vibration. As you learn or don't learn, you move forward or repeat. The lesson within itself is an experience.
As I write, I tend to understand deeper meaning(s) of my experiences. I want to share them with others along this pathway called life. I am here to speak life within my own spirit and help others (if I may) along this same journey, and vice versa. As you tend to agree or disagree, everyone is entitled to his or her own decision(s). It is what you DO with the decision that makes the difference.
Indeed family, it is been a while and a journey that I am to continue on regardless of my situation or attitude. My quote for today: "Situations and circumstances warrant change, my attitude determines them both." As my situation evolves, so do my circumstances. My attitude determines them both as it develops a resolution. My attitude can react or act accordingly, depending on how INVOLVED my EVOLVING mindset is at the moment.
The word for today is EVOLUTION. Use it accordingly, or not. Either way, it's your decision. Indeed family, be blessed.

As always in love,

PHENOM PICCOLI

Lazy Bones

2013-02-13T10:20:00.001-05:00

Good morning Sunshine -

After all this time, the Queen returns to her throne. My apologies first and foremost. I have been through some rough battles that I have hidden behind. I tried to make them go away and they still arise to my dismay. I have decided to get these LAZY BONES a movin' and shakin' again to get back into the groove of things. With that said, I do want to say this: albeit, my posts (up until now) have been uplifting and about self awareness. But what about those dark moments that seep in to try to take over? What about the times when you just don't feel like it today and that turns into a week or a month? What about when you seem to try so hard, revamp, and try again and you still seem to have NOT made it past go? Well, I am all to familiar with this place called LAZY BONES. Just checked out and now moving forward.

Know this: Life can suck. At different times, life can let you down. Talking about it can help but doing something about it helps most. You yourself are your best mentor. You can look to others for that push but at the end of the day, YOU have to lay down with YOU. Ask questions like: Am I happy with me? Then ask, am I TRULY happy with me? Say this to yourself: I have to change what is on the inside. All else will follow suit, but I have to be willing and able to make the change, stick to it and continue NOT to be lazy about it. It's a job and it can be hard, I know. Checking into to LAZY BONE USA does not make matters any better in the long run.

Look, I've just been on the brink of a nervous breakdown and other variables that I allowed to control my life - hey, its normal (for me) and I am human. I don't have all the answers and a physical manual is not available to me at the moment. Even with that, all of the answers are still unavailable because every scenario is different.

I am not a doctor, lawyer, teacher or preacher. I am just me. Simple as that. Life can be simple, or complicated but you have the power to decide which road you want to take. Trying to justify it just makes matters worse - make a decision and move on. Operative word MOVE. I have been to the LAZY BONE palace and overstayed my welcome. If you check in, please make sure to check out and don't make it an extended stay vacation. Take it from me, it does more than just drain your energy, time and motivation. That's just the appetizer.

I'm on the road to recovery. Again, forgive me for my absence. I look forward to more opportunities (if you will) to make a difference.

Indeed family,

Seasons Change = Versatility

2012-11-01T15:44:00.003-04:00

Seasons Change = Versatility

Good morning Sunshine,

     The seasons are changing. The air turns cool, the leaves change and the wind is fierce! As with every year this time, one has to prepare for the colder months. With this concept in mind, this should be the basis for being versatile in your own life. Either kick things (your normal routine) up a notch or change altogether. I have to make the necessary changes, you are not alone in this. Bottom line: Life for you can remain the same or you can change it - it is up to you. I'm not saying that you have to change what is working for you, tweak it to be better. What is not working, about face 180 degrees soldier!
     There is a theory that I try to use from time to time that is in constant rotation in my life. I believe in what I call the Preventive Maintenance Theory. Everyone has one, its just that when you set it on the shelf of your mind, it doesn't work quite right. (:\) The Preventive Maintenance Theory (PMT), is just what the words mean: (P) preventive - stop before starting/awareness; (M) maintenance - maintain or the ability to keep going regardless, stay afloat; (T) theory - a hunch or a gut feeling that just might work. And all together creates a versatile person (somewhat or the makings of one)!
     Being versatile is just a part of life. Life is in a constant flux of change, so why not join in when it (life) calls for it? "Change is good!" - MONKEY from The Lion King. Don't make excuse for not changing because there are a million and one reasons that pop up like weeds in your mind saying NO! or DON'T DO IT! NO is not always the answer. YES and MAYBE can tag along in the decision making process as well. You decide but be versatile in your decisions.
     Bottom line: don't make the word "change" always out to be the bad guy. Don't make the word NO always a constant and consistent word used in life. Missing out on life is the NO-NO that is NOT wanted. "Situations and circumstances warrant change: my attitude determines them both." (Phenom Piccoli)

Indeed family,

Opportunity

2012-10-30T10:14:00.002-04:00

Opportunity

Good morning Sunshine ~

Times such as these, opportunities appear to be far and in between. With what is said and portrayed in the media and on the news reel, you would think that life will not get any better than its current state. Society feeds off of panoramic chaos. My dear, if you look closely, you will see that is only a mere illusion. How can move past what I see? is the current question. Only by experience and the truth that resides within you my dear Watson. I have passed up many "chances", if you will, for what the "situation looked like on the outside." Not moving forward with my gut feeling, I only looked at the outside and lost a chance at something great. Another instance would be the fact that I had not been given the chance by a mere not "looking the part" (perhaps).
In hindsight, I knew there was something that I could learn from that experience, take it with me and use it. Removing all emotion and looking at the facts, I used that opportunity missed for something better later. With that said, it behooves me to inform you that one must take the (opportune) time to make sure the shoe fits! from all angles.

In tough times comes tough measures. Ask yourself the question: Do/will I measure up? You have to make sure that you add up or reinvent yourself to do so. The comfort zone is just that...comfort. When it is disturbed, you should act accordingly and not react to the event.

While on the highway of life, I have learned that a few knee scrapes and head bangs keep me in the race. Be versatile in all that you do. "No man is an island" (John Donne). Network and be open minded to learn new things, even if they are not very interesting. What you learn now could come in handy at some point in life. "Change your mind. Change your thinking. Change your way of life" (Phenom Piccoli).

Carpe Diem! Sieze the day! Why not? Its only a mere opportunity. With each new day comes new opportunities. As you start the day, have your mind focused and favorable, open and optimistic. Don't throw caution to the wind but if your "gut feeling" tells you to do so, then proceed (with caution).

Sometimes it (life) can be scary. Granted, but don't pass up the opportunity that just may be that "once in a lifetime" you were looking for.

Be blessed and be you family,

~Phenom Piccoli

All That I Am

2012-10-25T15:45:00.000-04:00

ALL THAT I AM!

Good Morning Sunshine!

     I have great and exciting news! All that I am and and what I aspire to be is happening right now. As change comes with time, I am excited to know that my labor has not been in vain. For a stagnant moment in time, I felt as if nothing was going to change or that what I am doing will not make a difference in this world. I was not depressed, but I was feeling low and "unworthy" so to speak. It appeared as if everything and everyone around me seemed to prosper but me. An illusion of sorts which felt so realistic. Maybe, it is just not my time yet were the thoughts circling in my head. (I try not to take it any further than that). Just knowing that my day will come soon enough was just not enough for me. (It sounded more like a scratched record with an irritating rant that continues until you fix it).

   In moments like these, I had to turn to an unconventional approach to life. I had to gear up and get ready to rumble because what is mine is mine and I am willing to fight if necessary! The "troubles" and "obstacles" that were being thrown at me constantly were messages of defeat that I would not accept. "No weapon formed against me shall prosper." and "Jesus help!" were prayers that I lamented on continuously. I was not, will not and have not given up hope! I am, I will, I shall, I must succeed! An attitude like this every second of the day helps to mold your demeanor, your persona, your victory over defeat. Misery loves company, but at the moment, I am busy! (smile)

     I am maintaining my stance in this fight to keep hope alive and get to where I need to be in life. It is not easy but I look at it as this: I am better off fighting for what I want than being defeated like a snowball's chance in hell. Feast your eyes on the prize is my take on life. Be encouraged and with courage, go forward. You need not allow fear to take a grasp on your life for fear you may lose something. Get a hold of yourself and move on. It's almost as if you are in a boxing match, pacing yourself, waiting for that perfect moment. It will happen. Trust.

     Indeed family as always, make it a day worth giving your all to because you can not get it back. There is no reset button, that's why it's real time, with no pauses in-between.

Enjoy,

Screeching Halt

Screeching Halt

Good morning Sunshine!

     My life has come to a screeching halt. I have lost a person so very dear to me that sometimes the pain is unbearable. I know that life is a give and take balancing act and the flow of it can sometimes say HALT!, right before I am to smash into a brick wall. Since I have been fading in and out of consciousness lately, I realize that I need to put everything in my life on HALT mode, a screeching one of course (smile).

     On occasion, I find myself either forced or voluntarily taking a break IMMEDIATELY! With this being the case, I have to ask myself a few questions: What happened? Why am I here? What am I going to do next? How can I keep going? For a little while, these questions are unanswered. Most of the time, you don't always have the answers immediately, they take time. But, as with everything else. everything always involves/takes time. As in the arena of academia, the learning curve is a process. Eventually, things will balance out and the "momentous key" (of understanding) will be obtained. In the meantime, it is a mean waiting game. (smile)

     As the brakes continue to squeal (in my life), it appears as if things are going in slow motion. I used to be discouraged at that, but I want to inform you not to be. The adage that "all things happen for a reason" is true in everything and everyday life. If we took time to find out every detail as to why things went left, exhaustion and mind blowing are understatements to the truth.

    Evolution. Metamorphosis. From cocoon to butterfly state of being all have a HALT moment. It may mean stop, look and listen or just stop it period. Whatever the case may be, adhear to any "sign" given to you (even at a moments notice, pay close attention).

Affirmation:

I am stopping everything right now at this moment! I am not in control of outside forces, I am only in control of me. I can only account for myself and my actions. I am bringing myself to a screaching halt. There are some things that I don't understand and I appreaciate not having to do so. I am removing all of my inconsistencies and allowing GOD to take over. This is HIS area of expertise. I am just along for the ride.

Make it a beautiful one family. Indeed,

profoundness

2012-10-02T14:49:00.001-04:00

PROFOUNDNESS

Good morning Sunshine!

The word of the day is PROFOUNDNESS! Now you can use this however you see fit but I would rather you take it with you today. Incorporate it on a personal level. As you embark on your job or whatever is on the task list today, let's make things a little extra with this word. First, let's define it directly. Profoundness has a meaning of depth or think of it as deep thoughts in the abyss. Now in using this word, it may sound over the top; perhaps it is. But let's face it. Life as we now know it is over the top with everything on the table - no holes barred approach "so to speak".

In speaking or in thinking, the word should transcend all levels. PROFOUNDNESS. It even resounds like the saying: "something big is about to happen." In your quest for profoundness do the following steps:

1. Be profound in your accomplishments. Put your best foot forward to be the best at what you do.

2. Profoundly go where no one has gone before. Got an idea? Twist it up to your advantage.

3. Take profoundness into your own hands. Make sure that you are clear in what you do, where your goals are headed and what they are intended for, what road you want to take in life and the background

(or history of that road).

4. Speak as if your life is indeed profound! Claim it as if it were yours all along. I am. I will. I must. I shall

be profound in what I do from now on.

5. PRO=in favor FOUND=establish/discover NESS=state/existing. Be in favor of establishing a state of

being that is conducive to your life and quality of living.

CHANT:

I profoundly speak into the existence of my being wellness, health, strength, agility and ability everyday of my life. tTe plans of GOD are what I will follow without hesitation or question. With profoundness, I step forth as a new creature in the likeness of HIM that stands before me.

Make profoundness a habit worth keeping.

Influx of Confidence

Influx of Confidence

Good Morning Sunshine

     As I sit here contemplating how to pull this post together, I get a surge of confidence down my spine. I am compelled to write differently today; a twist of sorts. Indeed, I am on a quest to continue writing passages that contain an air of happiness and good will. I am also inspired to stay the course. Let us begin shall we?

   First, let's start with the definition of confidence (what can we come up with off of the top of our heads?): Trust. Self reliability. Surety. Valuable self worth. Self esteem jolt. Relationships secret in nature, or stuff like that. Regardless, the feeling can be somewhat overwhelming and can make one feel "large and in charge!" Take it and run with it!

     An influx of confidence starts within the brainwaves. As you motion your thoughts into a herd for the hurdles of the day, an injection of confidence (a foe of fear) should be made at least twice daily. Be careful, this could bring on all sorts of happiness today!

     Confidence is based on a continuum. You have to continue to be confident, to act and go forward with confidence on a daily basis. Yes, it is to be repeated DI/DO (day in/day out). Granted, it doesn't happen over night, as society would suggest on some level but it does happen. When you take away doubt, what do you have? Well, I know you don't have doubt, that's for certain.

Say this to yourself today:

I am confident within myself. I am sure that some things will go wrong for the day but I am confident that I will accomplish my goals and my tasks. Once I take the time to breathe, focus and breathe again, I am still on target with confidence. All doubt is lost and confidence is at my side.

As always, indeed family. Make it pleasurable with confidence.

Shhh. Stop. Stay

2012-09-24T11:28:00.000-04:00

Shh. Stop. Stay

Good morning Sunshine!

It's a great day to a new beginning. I am learning the idea of what "FOCUS" truly means. The dictionary tells us the following verbiage: FOCUS[noun] the concentration of attention or energy on something;[noun] maximum clarity or distinctness of an image rendered by an optical system; [verb] direct one's attention on something. (elook.org) The latter meaning is the one to pay attention to at this time. To direct one's attention to something (and maintain it).
It is clear that as a society, we focus in on what is negatively news worthy. WE are inundated with such information and crappy junk that is so It is not often that we find info that can be duly noted in our mainframe of a brain. Our brainwaves pick up on that which is interesting. We have been sabotaged into thinking that what is abnormally wrong is right and vice versa. They are stifling to all of our generations and we have to do the following: SHH...STOP...STAY...

SHH..- Be quiet. Quiet your brainwaves and body movements. I don't mean go to sleep per say, but take notice of your surroundings. Even deeper in fact, look at your life from whence you can and to where you are headed. Even still, continue to be quiet. There is healing in doing just this alone.

STOP...- Stop everything! (Don't stop breathing of course) Take moments and just breathe more than for 5 minutes. Take 30 to 60 minutes. JUST STOP period (but for goodness sakes, don't fall asleep).

STAY...- As your mind begins to wander and ponder all sorts of things, this is the time to maintain your focus. Choose your topic carefully. Stay on task and on target. While quieting down the audibles in your head and stopping all movements and extra curricular activities (except breathing), focusing in on your well being should be a key item in this juncture. I know you are saying: that could mean anything... well, at this point, yes dear, it could. STAYING the course is the task at hand. I know it can be tedious, boring and daunting but it has to be done; then again, it doesn't have to be because it is all up to you.

Shh. Stop. Stay. Focus Family!

Indeed,

MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION: MAID

2012-09-21T11:54:00.005-04:00

Make An Informed Decision: MAID

It's not impossible.

GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE

No, it is not impossible to make an informed decision. That ultimately means that you need to put in work in your decision making. Although there are all types of influences that can sway our decisions to the left or to the right, but at the end of the day, it is your decision. Everyday on this earth, I learn something new about people, how they perceive ideas and convey them to others. Everyone is different. Sometimes, we rally for the same cause and sometimes we are on opposite sides of the fence. If you are not informed, then you are doomed to just be ignorant or unaware.
I am hoping that I can help you to MAID: make an informed decision. In order to MAID (and yes, it does involve cleaning up), there are some things that you might want to start using moving forward:

MAKING AN INFORMED DECISION INVOLVES...

Examining the facts period. Know about the issue at hand. Know the background. Whether it is about a person, place, thing, scenario...don't pass judgement first. When you don't know, you are misinformed. Misguided or misinformed means decisions made with an UH-OH mentality once everything hits the fan. Know better. Do better!
Don't allow your emotions to get involved. Emotions can get the best of you especially in the heat of the moment. Try breathing first and then thinking rationally. I know that it may sound harsh, but reality is, we want the facts, only the facts. For example 2+2=4. FACT! I don't feel that it should be 4 today and not tomorrow, it is 4 hands down and bottom line.
Question everything! Sure, this can be annoying and it can get on your own nerves, but wouldn't you rather have the correct information at your finger tips instead of guess-timates? You don't want to go and retrace your steps because you were unsure of something right? Blunders cost time, money and effort. All three will be lost if a RE-DO has to take place.
Decision is based on what exactly? Check and recheck. There may come a time when you think or believe to have the right answer but things change. Change is inevitable. The tide has changed it's course now what? Be versatile. Make sure your judgement takes into account any changes that are made on the way.
Be patient or being patient! I can not stress this enough. Breathing through and having patience tend to go hand in hand. Be kind and do both (breath and be patient) simultaneously. Your mind can tend to run rapidly especially when you are anxious and your decision is pending. Take time and go back to the first bullet.

Sunshine, this is only a guideline as to how you should make your decisions. I am only trying to get you to expand your horizons and not to be so closed minded once a decision involves you. At the end of the day, it does matter and making an informed decision is the best choice. You will be happy you did.

Indeed family,

Changing Lanes

2012-09-12T15:57:00.001-04:00

Changing Lanes

GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE!

I know that I have spoken on this subject before but I feel as if I need to touch on it again, with a twist. Changing lanes could mean 1 of 3 things: Moving up and onward, staying remote momentarily or backing up for a revamp. All of these are positively speaking.

MOVING UP & ONWARD - Utopianly speaking,this always happens. Realistically, to move up and onward takes time and planning. Everything in its entirety is a process. From a birth to death continuum, it is a constant process. Spontaneity is cool at times but going forward in life should remain constant. It is work! No one is going to tell you it is easy, turn here or stop there...you have to be willing to fill in the blanks and make the hard turn! Forward MARCH!
STAYING REMOTE momentarily - STAYING POWER! If only but for a moment. This happens more often than not. Everyone needs a break and could use one, voluntarily or involuntarily. Just like the seasons change, LIFE HAPPENS period. It is not always a bad thing; sometimes longer than normal, but not a bad thing. Stay positive, it will work out.
BACKING UP FOR A REVAMP - This reminds me of when a child is playing with a toy car that winds up and then VROOMM!...across the room it goes! Or, when a track star backs up for the long jump. In hindsight, looking at what is happening now is not so bad. Maybe if some things were tweaked just a tad, life might deal you a better hand. Some things often appear to be bad, but they are just an illusion and a test in the same regard. Building momentum for your life for what is to come as the future awaits your response is nothing but a work in progress. There is a saying that If we don't learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it.

As I learn about changing lanes, I am learning that good, bad or indifferent events, I can use these obstacles or triumphs as stepping stones on the road to greatness. Why not? It's worth a try, besides this lane is ending and a new beginning is on the horizon. How sweet it is!

Indeed family,

Meditating momentarily

2012-09-11T12:20:00.000-04:00

Meditating Momentarily

Good morning Sunshine!

   Indeed it is a new day and a fresh start! Take a deep breath and sigh. Every day is a 50-50 chance of life being so much better than yesterday. I have to keep reminding myself of this as I go through my "rough spots". Each day, I learn something new, whether it is about me or someone in my life. With each day, I have to meditate, even if it is only for a moment.

     Sometimes life weighs heavy on the heart and jumping, screaming, shouting, biting, fighting, yelling, scratching, kicking, drinking, smoking and crying is not always an option. On one hand, that will help alleviate some pressure but most times it may get you a ride in the paddy wagon or a starring roll on #$%$heads Gone Wild! :).

   Manifestations of meditating momentarily is something that we must incorporate in our lives. Think of it like a daydream....ok, come back now..hello? (smile) I know, in earlier posts, I have touched on this subject quite a few times. Meditation is like one of the senses that we are not in tune with. I, for one, can say that I have not put my practice of meditation to constant use until recently. Even if only for a moment, it does make a difference. Your focal points become clearer and precise. Your thought process is not as jittery as before. You become more relaxed and calmer instead of using inhibitors to do the job for you. Your aura clears and is not as foggy as it once was. Things are just different.

     Meditating momentarily is very beneficial to the health aspect of life. I'm not saying get into a deep trance sitting Indian style for 3 hours communicating with the 3rd universe, but I am saying take a breathing moment to close your eyes and use clarity. Do this several times throughout the day. Make your thoughts positive even if you had a hellacious start of the day today; it does not mean your ending has to be the same as the beginning. Do this continuously - make it routine. You'll be glad for it.

As always, indeed family.
