healing

Healing is miraculous, at times.

Healing is available through herbs, essential oils, nature and all that Mother Earth has to offer.

Healing comes through modern medicine…scientific/technological advancements.

Healing is taking deep breaths, singing, exercise, journaling, dancing, therapy, drawing, meditation, listening to music, coloring, reading, time in nature, stating affirmations, spending time with friends (human and/or animals!), etc.

Healing is heaven ~ we sing about it, talk about it, quote verses about it but ain’t nobody tryna make a trip today!

I have been Asking the Divine for healing in the form of a miracle for so many people in my life right now.

My eyes are filled with tears on a daily basis.

My heart is heavy and I’m taking deep/full breaths throughout the day.

I’m releasing ~ envisioning balloons (and at times bubbles) floating up to Heaven so that I no longer carry any weight.

Are you carrying any weight around a health test, a diagnosis/prognosis, a job, a relationship, something else that is traumatic/unexpected…painful, heart-breaking?

What helps bring healing to your heart? Incorporate one item into your day. 

Healing is doing what YouR heart needs!

Your heart is WORTH it!

On the journey with you, fellow Warrior…always!

Common Day Hero: You are a devoted prayer warrior. Countless individuals have benefitted from your prayers (me and my children included). Thankful for your love, kindness and prayers. Elsie, today, I dedicate this post to you.

summer

Summertime…fun in the sun!

I AM grateful for the little delights – popsicles, swimming with friends, cold drinks, walks on the beach, ice cream and sandals, to name a few!

There is also a sadness this summer. I never knew there’d come a summer that my young kids wouldn’t be with me full time. I cannot begin to express all the emotions surrounding this- yet another cut caused by divorce.

SO many moments we just have no way of preparing for…without warning, the ground beneath us gives way and we have to quickly navigate choppy waters…

What difficult moment/s are you processing this summer?

I AM learning to appreciate every.little.moment. We are not promised anything more than this present moment.

Common Day Hero: The strength of a thousand women before me runs through my veins. You, AmminiAmmachi, were a petite bundle of dynamite. Your faith, your kindness and your courage live on in me and your great-granddaughter. Today, I dedicate this post to you.

wings

A friend shared a vision with me this week – she saw the Wings of the Almighty just enveloping me and my two adorable ones. While she was sharing, I immediately thought of the 91st Chapter of the Book of Psalms in the Bible.

Psalm 91 is among the many passages that I learned in early childhood. It is one that comes to mind often, especially in moments of crisis. It speaks safety, comfort and protection to me.

The fourth verse specifically states that I will be covered by the feathers of The Divine and under His wings, I will find refuge/shelter/retreat/sanctuary/safe haven. Let me just post the whole Psalm here for you:

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand].2 I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I trust [with great confidence, and on whom I rely]! 3 For He will save you from the trap of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you and completely protect you with His feathers and under His wings you will find refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and a wall.

5 You will not be afraid of the terror of night nor of the arrow that flies by day, 6 Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction (sudden death) that lays waste at noon. 7 A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but danger will not come near you.

8 You will only [be a spectator as you] look on with your eyes and witness the [divine] repayment of the wicked [as you watch safely from the shelter of the Most High]. 9 Because you have made the Lord, [who is] my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place,10 No evil will befall you, nor will any plague come near your tent.

11 For He will command His angels in regard to you, to protect and defend and guard you in all your ways [of obedience and service]. 12 They will lift you up in their hands, so that you do not [even] strike your foot against a stone. 13 You will tread upon the lion and cobra; the young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot.

14 Because he set his love on Me, therefore I will save him; I will set him [securely] on high, because he knows My name [he confidently trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never abandon him, no, never].15 He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him. 16 With a long life I will satisfy him and I will let him see My salvation.

This week, may I encourage you to look up Psalms 91 in the translation of your choice?

Settle into a quiet space and as you read, journal all that resonates with you…comforts you…empowers you!

Common Day Hero: So many claim to know, but few truly understand. You are one of the few and I’m glad to know you. You have consistently been a friend in need and deed. Jaisy, I dedicate this post to you.
