By The Light of The Moon






In keeping with current events and our recent "Blood Moon" I wanted to write something in relation to the moon and new beginnings and my thoughts and feelings as I looked upon the full moon these past few days.

Night time is magical for me- it seems I awaken!  Could just be that I am not a morning person or the fact that I nap daily- but I feel its more than that. I have always enjoyed star gazing and looking into the moon and realizing that although most feel that the day is done ; at night I am reminded and promised that a new day is on its way. Regardless of the circumstances today- tomorrow is on the horizon.

Everything around us has an effect on something within us. As a woman I know that our bodies are in sync with phases of the moon in the form of our menstrual cycles- which in turn affects our ability to create new life. New life is refreshing! I have never been this excited to move before... but to think of beginning anew has been the focal point of my thoughts this past month and its gonna happen. Out with the old and in with the new.

While thinking on this I realized that everything and everyone has a purpose. Not sure if the moon has a mind, but if it did- would it feel trapped doing the same thing night in and night out? Would it realize it's significance to life? Would it rather be the sun? Would it notice the power it yields over every living thing and what a dark dark place this would be without it? I had to turn and ask myself those same questions in retrospect. Do I not understand who and what I am and what I can be and the changes I can make just by being who God created me to be?

While thinking on the light of the moon- I realize that regardless of circumstances I am the light in somebody's life- although I may not see it or know who they are someone sees me and I inspire them. My mundane life of work, friends, school and attempts at finding my purspose may inspire someone today or in 20 years. I may not be a  celebrity or even accomplished by far in my mindset- but I impact someone and something. The power I possess as a woman is beyond my comprehension and as a Christian I should be able to guide someone through this maze of life and like the moon. I understand that I will have phases in life where I will give off no light where I will need to re-evaulaute life and "disappear" but like the moon I will always come back bright and full after going through my "NEW MOON" and "Waxing/Waning" phases of life.

And Suddenly you know it's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.

Single But Ready: Greater is Coming

So I am up doing some grass roots research into pursuing some passions of mine... hair and fashion.  While texting a guy who is interested in me. And it hit me. I am ready to date again! Finally. Lordt I thought I was going to be stuck in that negative stage forever! By the way the title of this post is inspired by a podcast that I listened to- that helped get me through entitled: Single But READY.. check it out it is eye opening. So if you read some of my post from the August/September period you will note the harping of the breakup and my efforts to rebound date. Well I never wrote about my perspective of trying to rebound date. Let us just say it was horrible. I truly do not recommend trying to rebound date, while being celibate and on the tail ends of a heartbreak... Nothing good comes from Nazareth right? HA.. ok. Basically as I sat here thinking back to that time period I was sooo negative. Negative Nancy welcome to the party. These guys were showing genuine interest in me an

The importance of boundaries

As I sit here in DFW international airport reading "Don't Settle For Safe" by Sarah Jakes Roberts, I am compelled to write on the importance of setting boundaries. Boundaries keep us safe. Safety is a primary foundational component of Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Basically, we need boundaries at our core in order to survive. Relationships are one of the hardest areas of our lives to create and maintain boundaries. Why is this? Our need for acceptance tugs at our inner being to disregard the natural boundaries that our conscience created for us. Whatever it may be- friends, significant others, parents or siblings we want to be accepted. But at what cost do we pursue acceptance? As I have grown and matured in all things called life, I realized that I had created boundaries that were too loose as well as disregarded others all together. I had to realign myself to think in terms of boundaries when approaching any situation. Here are a few of the questions I asked myse
