I’m staying grounded.
I’m standing on business.
I’m keeping ten toes down.
I’m waiting patiently.
I’m giving all I’ve got.
How ’bout you?

I’m trying my hardest to let go of my fear(s).
I’m trying to leave my doubts behind.
They chase me. Relentlessly.
Still, I try.
Hold on, beloveds.
Hang onto your faith. Let go of your fear.

YouTube has gotten on my last nerves!
They have changed the algorithm, which has changed which videos come up.
Also, I have an eclectic taste, so enjoy a myriad of topics. Inevitably, I found a million videos of nothing but the same subjects! Drove me mad!
Finally, I decided to turn off the history so other things could have the chance to be viewed. Now, all kinds of things show up on my feed.
That has me thinking how we are so used to keeping old memories, forever qued up, forever playing over and over and over, in our minds.
I have turned off my heart’s history. 😄❤️🩹♥️
I have wiped the slate clean. I am trying to do things a different way. I am doing my best to listen more. REALLY listening.
In doing so, beloveds, life is so much more enjoyable. Living in the present. Enjoying the day for the present it is. Not expecting this or that, based upon what happened in the past.
Life is soooooooooo much easier when you stop beating yourself up for what was. It happened. So what. Move on.
Turn off your history. Allow yourself the opportunity to view new things. Enlarge your tent. Get out of your comfort zone.

My dreams are crying.
Inside I’m dying.
To break free.
Free from these chains of fear and doubt that are forever holding on to me.
My dreams are crying out.
Shouting so loud they are drowning out everything else.
I don’t know how to quiet them.
My dreams are crying. Who hears them? Who hears me?

Note: I wish I could ignore these dreams of mine. It would make my life so much easier right now. I could go back to complaining about why things were not working, instead of trying to make them work. I could go back to blaming The Universe for not making my dream come true.
My dreams are holding me accountable. My dreams are forcing me to own my choices. My dreams are demanding that I make choices. My dreams are forcing me to choose. I have no one else to blame. Ack.
Okay, dreams. I will try. That’s all I can promise you. That’s all I can promise me.
What do you promise you? What do you say to your dreams?
One step.

Does it matter?
It does.
Does your voice matter?

Does my voice matter?
It does.
Does he matter?

Does she matter?
She does.
Do they matter?
They do.
Does my try matter?
It does.
Does our try matter?
It does.
Does coming together matter?
It does.
Will our communal try matter?
It will.
Can we change the world together?
We can.
Will you help me try, beloveds.

Note: I have been laying here, being laughed at and mocked. Apathy says no one cares. Discouragement says no one will. Disappointment says why fight for a world who could care less.
Someone has to. Someone has to be willing to start. Someone has to be willing to try no matter the outcome.
Let the beginning start with me. I wonder if I shall forever try alone. So be it. Wondering…

Keep showing up for you. Even if no one else shows up. Be sure to be there for yourself. Encourage yourself. Believe in yourself. Fight for yourself.
We can’t force others to be there for us. We can be there for ourselves.
Love yourself. Feed your spirit. Acknowledge your heart.
Show up for you. The rest shall be added unto you.

Your life is not your kid’s life.
Your life is not your parents’ life.
Your life is your life. Live your life your way. Do the things you have always been wanting to do. simply because you enjoy doing them.
You don’t have to apologize for your life. You don’t have to apologize for the things you enjoy. Enjoy them. Enjoy you.

There are days when I wonder if the whole world has gone mad. I have been watching as complete. as complete idiots have chosen into ruin their lives by participating in yet another bit of Tik Tok foolishness. Some people were dumb enough to commit wire fraud by participating in the ‘Chase glitch’. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then thank God and keep it moving.
I cannot believe how many young people this. decided it was a good idea to basically defraud the bank out of 30, 40, $50,000 thinking that they had earned some “free money”. What was more disturbing is how people gleefully filmed themselves committing crimes.
I wondered what happened to shame. I wondered what happened to protecting the family name. When I grew up, I was raised to be careful. The family name was meant to mean something. We were taught to work hard. We were tired to care about people. We were taught that our actions mattered and had consequences.
Sing so many people acting a fool. It makes me want to keep living a life of integrity. I’m trying my best to. I’m trying my best to help my fellow man. I’m trying my best to care in a world that seems to not give a damn about anything but itself. I’m trying.
I didn’t show up here today to lecture anyone. I guess I’m just asking that we each be mindful of the footprints that we are leaving behind us. Young people are looking at us. It’s sad that we have so many adults acting a fool, the young people can’t look up to many older folk anymore.
What footprints are you living behind?

Note: Don’t follow the crowd. Be the kind of person others want to follow. Choose your steps carefully. The Universe is watching. Your integrity is priceless. don’t sell out your integrity for clicks and a few dollars. You’re worth much more than that. Have an awesome day today. Seize this day. Rejoice in this day. Laugh in this day. Love in this day. Starting with you. in case no one has told you yet today: I love you. So does He.

I wanted to get some new bath towels. I have been putting it all forever. I was too cheap to get me some decent ones. Instead, I use squaggled up towels that I have been using forever.
Finally, I close my eyes and order some decent bath towels.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSoooooooooooooo soft!
So wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwooooooooooonderful!
Who knew!?
My body was worth those bath towels. How ridiculous we are to deny ourselves some small comfort, because we don’t feel as though we are worth the extra few dollars. We are.
God has been dealing with my heart about worth. So many folk feel so unworthy. I used to feel that way. There are days when I still feel that way, because I don’t have a job yet. I wonder what my worth is to The Universe.
I’m not yet ready to work. I try to be. my heart just won’t let me. ever since the tornado my life feels like it’s at a standstill. My get up and go, has gone off and left!
My dreams are awake now. that they won’t abide being ignored. Not anymore. I don’t know what to do with these dreams. These dreams aren’t making me any money. I need money to live. I’m not sure what to do now. I used to be able to bribe my dreams. I used to tell them I will get to them later. The tornado has turned later into now. I don’t know what to do with my dreams now. I don’t know what to do with me now.
God is silent. The Universe is loud. I wish They would tell me what to do.
It’s taking everything within me not to want to go back to my old, comfortable ways. Like those old bath towels. Then, I remember the delicious feel of the new bath towels. Delicious.
I think I shall continue on with my new bath towels. How about you?
