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.

In search of magic

She told me something was missing. Not a spark or a twinkle Not a light or a star Not a fire or an ember My magic was missing. The very thing that allowed me to create the me I wanted to be, had long gone missing He took it, I said, and I want it back! I want it all back. Slowly she felt it returning- but she had to figure how to use it again. Never again would she let someone steal her magic. Never again would she freely give of her magic. Never again would she take for granted the magic that was given to her as her prized possession. And when she said it- she felt it- the magic she once knew had returned and oh how it had grew. It was undeniable, unimaginable- she realized that the magic was her, she had never left- she had only forgotten due to his curse. She realized what she had forgotten; she had placed her magic safely on a shelf far, far away from what she called her heart. Hidden from all others, even herself- because she was too weak to control it ...

Sucking at life but #Queening

Unfortunately I am the person who can never make a decision right off. I have so many ideas and thoughts running through my head and there is never just one option. Why are there always so many options? There are options for everything and it kind of freaks me out. I am that person standing at the crossroad with basically 3 other directions to go besides the one you came from. Yeah that is where I am in life right now. I want to go everywhere and do everything besides what I have already done. At least going back is not an option and neither is staying where I am... I have to decide on something at sometime. Even the greatest of leaders suffer from indecision. I am afraid that my indecisiveness might lead into inaction which is unacceptable on any front. That is why I impulse decide usually- due to indecisiveness... just make a decision already! Done. So what is it that I cannot make a decision on? Well right now... this living situation of mine. It's time to move from my apa...
