LOL.
This actually made me laugh out loud.
Have a fabulous day today.

Beloveds, please don’t stay focused on all the foolishness happening right now. There is plenty of good. Enjoy some good. Be some good to someone. Laugh.
Do something for no other reason than it felt good to bless someone. Life is short. Live. Please and thanks.

Seize your moment.
Make it happen.
Enjoy the journey.

I couldn’t sleep.
I tried everything.
My dreams just did NOT want me to go to bed. They wanted to continue to play in broad daylight!
My dreams were basking in the sunlight upon their face. I enjoyed dancing within their embrace.
When I was working, beloveds, I always lamented about not being able to work when I wanted.
My creativity is most alive in the midnight hours. I love writing in the dead of night. To me, it feels like I am the only one up in the entire world. Me and God yakking. God and me carrying on about any and everything.
I especially love writing, listening to music, praying for folk, daydreaming between the hours of two and four. Ask me why, I still don’t know.
I tend to wind down around 6 or 7 am. Then, ALL I wanted to do was to go to sleep.
The only problem with that was I had to get up and work my PAYING job.😳😴
It was exhausting. It felt like I was up 24/7. Unsustainable.
Before I lost my job, beloveds, I grew more and more restless. What I wanted to do did NOT pay the bills.
What paid the bills was no longer satisfying. Yikes! Egads! Fresh hell.
I prayed and prayed and prayed for a way out.
Silence.
The tornado came.
Loudly.
I find myself rebuilding my financial bricks. With no straw. 😳🙏😫🌊
I am doing my utmost to use what I have. What I have doesn’t seem to be ⚒ working. Not for me, at least.
I’m trying.
The tornado has given me the time to write when I want. So, now I get up at odd hours. I work at weird times. I do breakfast things at the dinner hour. Fantastic!
I hate the tornado happened. The happening, just so happened to have delivered me the opportunity to work when I want. What I have ALWAYS wanted but was too fearful to try.
I chose stability over uncertainty. What good did that do me? I’m smack dab in the middle of the uncertainty I had run from my whole life.😳
Now, I am using what I have.
Use what you have. Do what you can with what you know.

There is more to this life than your struggles.
There is more to this life than just what you can see.
There is more to you than you give yourself credit for!
It can be easy to feel as though we are nothing more than the painful things we go through.
These times pass. Until they do, hang in there!

I told myself NO writing in bed after I have stopped for the day. This may be tough. I am used to snatching up my phone at odd hours.
I am trying to train myself to shut things down so I can REST through the night.
Decades of being on call, to the universe, has made it hard to shut down.
If we are going to accomplish our dreams, beloveds, we are going to have to treat our minds much better than we do.
We are going to have to give our minds the rest, the quiet, the refilling they deserve.
Pick a cut off time and cut things off! Let your mind rejuvenate.
How can your mind do what it needs to do if it is forever filled with doom scrolling?😳🤨🤔
My body is slowly adapting to this. It is relaxing more at night. It is allowing ME to be still and peaceful as the night comes calling. It no longer feels as if it is on call.
What is the point of perpetual motion for motion’s sake?

Lazy is super mad at me.
I have stopped making things so easy for lazy.
I had a snack area conveniently located next to my bed. Hence, lazy enjoyed snacking in bed.
I moved my coffee station from next to my work desk. Now, I make later go into the kitchen to make the coffee. This way, I get to stretch my legs, while lazy gets some act right first thing, in the morning!
I have been pondering whether I would have made such drastic changes if not for the tornado I went through.
I will never know. I DO know that I CHOSE to make the devastating event work for my GOOD.
I could have, just as easily, chosen to whine, complain and use the tornado as an excuse to give up. I didn’t. I won’t.
I have used all this hard, to my ADVANTAGE. I have found a want to in me that I had NO idea was there.
I had not the first clue how resilient I actually am. I secretly thought I would cave if things went on “for too long”. This has been far from the case. The harder things have been, the harder I fight. For me. For my dreams.
Ah, beloveds, don’t let your lazy keep you from seeing, from experiencing your resiliency, your tenacity, your strength!
You got this. You do.
Beloveds, these times are here to show you how truly amazing/special you are!
Lift up your head!
You have NOTHING to be ashamed of!
You are exactly where The Universe knew you would be. Everything that has gone on, in your life, has been factored into the equation.
Stop judging yourself so harshly. If you have fallen, laugh, get up, try again. Rinse. Repeat.
In case no one has told you today: I love you. So does He.

EVERY day, lately, ALL I have been hearing is that MY voice is not needed.
I have been told I am NOT needed. The 🌎 world has been telling me that NOBODY gives a damned about hearing MY voice.
To that, my dream whispers, still, “Speak”.
I will. EVERY day.
Speak, beloveds. This world needs to hear from you.
Your voice is:
Unique.
Needed.
Uniquely qualified!
What have YOU to say?

My friend taught me a lesson without even trying whilst we were engaged in conversation.
He offered me PATIENCE, instead of growing impatient or indifferent, when I went all impatient and indifferent, in trying to defend my position/thoughts.
It was HIS patience, HIS obvious care, HIS willingness to allow me to be a bit ridiculous that stopped me in my tracks.
I realized I WAS being a bit of a buffoon. I realized it was coming from a place of PAST wounds, not PRESENT feedback.
Growing up, we were raised that we had to raise our voices to be heard. There were 13 kids plus two adults.
15 folk all hollering to get their point across. Not terribly effective.
On top of that, I have a loud voice. Yikes!
I am learning how to communicate more EFFECTIVELY. I am teaching myself to apply more moderation and consideration of others.
I am learning how to be more patient with me as I work to overcome old lessons.
I stopped by to encourage someone to keep doing what you are doing. Change takes time.
You may already be a great listener. We can all use a bit of tweaking though, right?
Have a great rest of your day.

Beloveds, I have a WONDERFULLY, AMAZING secret to tell you. Come close.
Ppppsssst…
Did you know THE most crucial person who can and needs to love you is…
YOU!
Yep, YOU, beloveds. Click play, close your eyes and listen and get your heart filled a bit.
YOU really will be the biggest change for your life. Here you have been waiting for God, for Life, for The Universe to send you the person that will change your life.
Tada!
Aren’t you glad I shared this magnificent secret of life to you? There are many life secrets that shall open before you as you open your heart and allow things in.
Even seemingly foolish assignments and thangs…lol.
Get out there and live.
