Don’t be oblivious to the existence of energy. If energy is just an overused and hyped up word to you, then you’re leaving yourself open to be ruled by the energy of others and things.

ENERGY IS REAL.

I have such an appreciation for life. I find it hard to complain. I am so proud of my growth. It wasn't until I studied myself under a microscope, when I realized I AM IN CONTROL. No one else can control my energies. I hold those keys. I guard those gates. I set my boundaries. No one else. Others can influence and others can sway, but they cannot no control.

As soon as I recognized my powers, life changed.

I remember a season of my life where I allowed every, what I now know to be minuscule, thing, person, or place to stress me out. Now, I treat these same moments as what they are. Some blips in time, moments that have passed. Learning experiences. Whew. I feel cool, collected, warm, protected, and infinite. Of course hard times hurt, and sometimes the unknowing of this world makes me feel anxious. I get mad and feel disappointment. However, I know those are side affects of the human condition. And I also know that my energy can’t reside in those conditions everyday.

So, everyday I elevate.

I think of something new I’m thankful for.
I think of something old I’m thankful for.
I think what I’m about to be thankful for next.
I think of have the ability to eat on my own, drive, think, sleep, use the bathroom, kiss my baby, my boo, my momma, family, and see my friends.
... and then I take some deep breaths and say some nice things to myself and I keep it moving.

Look at yourself through loving eyes and tell me what you see! Hold yourself to a standard set by your soul. Own your energy.

​

As I sit here on the eve of my thirty-second solar return, all I can do is be thankful. I mean... damn. My life is wonderful. I’m open. This is me after I’ve manifested an abundant life, and I’m watching my blessings rain down. 

Is it just me or do we hold ourselves more accountable when our birthdays are nearing? We push for our goals even harder. I definitely wanted to get rid of some of this pregnancy weight. Although it has gradually come off over the year, I actually lost about ten pounds in the last month by eating a vegetarian diet. BUT I relapsed, ate meat for a week (fast food at that) and pretty much gained it all back. Just in time for my birthday! I’m not tripping though. My hips ain’t never lied. ??


My biggest goal this year was to carve out my own space. You know, create my niche in this world. This world is full of so many thoughts, actions, and ideas. They begin to bombard us at birth. So, I pushed through, making my way past the ideals of me. And I didn’t need to push others out of the way to get my elbow room. My objective is not to compete. My objective is to breathe and be open.

This 32nd year I am declaring that my path is open.
I put that on my ankh.
I’m open.
No blockages.
My path is open.
​I’m casually strolling in my eminence. ​
