Day 20: A NEW DAWN

Good Morning!


Last night the full moon was bright and it was the closest to the earth in nearly 18 years - 'Perigee Moon'.  Spring equinox is a time of rebirth and rejuvenation and the fullness of the moon represent abundance, fertility, and prosperity.  I was enjoying food, wine, and fellowship with great friends and we went outside to bask in the moonlight.  At the suggestion of  Osaremi Lanloke, we read an affirmation and held our purses (and wallets) to the sky.  The guys did not want to miss out on the blessings that would flow. LOL
I do not think that it is any coincidence that I start my new position at Massage Heights tomorrow and I will be moving into a new place of residence before the end of the month. Spring is here and all seeds that were planted, even in frozen winter soil are about to sprout and even produce ripe fruits. I am Excited. Enthusiastic. Energized. And Eager to taste these fruits. You are welcome to read this affirmation and evoke all that it describes into your life.

The Affirmation:

We come to you humble this evening and in prayer for the upliftment of our communities and for our families, children and for our own spiritual preservation. We ask for guidance to help direct our minds, and spirit in reconnecting with our truest selves, to know and to believe that our bodies are sacred vessels, that our wombs are the... homes of the souls returning ,that we are not without fault but we must begin to forgive ourselves and others for any transgressions known and unknown. We pray for healing of our bodies, our spirits, and our minds. We pray for the upliftment of the children, that they will be protected, nurtured and loved.

Please fill us up with joy, good health, hope, happiness, peace of mind, good character, gentle character, self love, self determination, moral courage, self-worth,& unity please fill up ours purses with prosperity, wealth, and abundance. Then say: (fill them up, fill them up, fill them up)

Thank you,
Osaremi Lanloke

So I encourage you to embrace this day:

"It's a new dawn...It's a new day...It's a new life...For me...And I'm feeling good"

Day 16: Where's TJ?

Hello Friends

Today I sat down to write this blog not sure what to say. The fact of the matter is this:  Last Friday (Day 11),  I was evicted from my residence.  No notice. No warning.  Just all of my belongings on the lawn and my dogs in the pound. So let me first start by apologizing for not blogging since the Day 9.  I have been busy handling this challenging situation.  You are probably wondering, is she serious?  I am have no reason to lie. In fact, if you practice telling the truth always it gets easier to do. FYI

But when I started making miracle March I knew what I was really asking for.  I was asking for a shift...a change...a transition...even a reposition... and a breakthrough.  AND...I got just that.

Now I will probably lose a lot of people when I say this but:

I received exactly what I needed to do the things required for my miracles to manifest. 

It looks bad and trust me it feels bad, but this is what I call limbo and I have been here before. You see, there are a lot of decisions that have to be made before I can elevate to the next level. I asked GOD/Source to place me on track for my highest life purpose.  To use this life for the GREATER GOOD, to position me among the people, places and things, necessary to complete his works. And so... here we are. Now please understand when you elevate, some people may not choose to elevate with you.  That is a hard lesson to learn.  But each person gets to make their own choice. But that is a whole other post.

And now I must be mindful of each step and decison that I take because this will shape my immediate future.  So I am continuing my fast: restraining from eating meats/processed foods, avoiding tv/radio, limiting my internet use to only a contructive nature. Basically, I am avoiding things that will surely slow me down because I need all of my energy to go into starting a new job, getting a new place to live, completing my first book of poetry, and the list goes on.

I am so close to actualizing my dreams that it seems the invisible rubber band tied around my waist that was holding me back has snapped. The glass ceiling that I keep hitting my head against has shattered.  The brick wall that use to stand before me that block my entire view it was so high, has been taken down brick by brick and there is a pile of rubble beside me.  There is NO THING holding me back and it is time for me to take off running. And we are going down hill from here.

I hope that you are enjoying this blog...sharing my real life present day situations with you.  I share these things only with the intent to enlighten you.  And please understand that my relocation is a mere inconvenience.  I am fine.  The earthquake in Japan is a real tragedy and the 1000+ lives that were lost is what we should focus our attention and prayer.  The people of Haiti that are still trying to rebuild their entire country.  And the people of New Orleans, who never made it back home after Katrina.  These are the people I pray for every night.  My reposition is on the smallest scale in comparison.

But please understand and take note... this is what THE BREAKTHROUGH looks like, so I want you to recognize it in your own life.  I also want to mention that I prefer the breakthrough to the breakdown. We all know what that looks. Sometimes things that seems unfair, unjust, unreal, unexplainable are just that!
But on the other side of this situation awaits the most beautiful, wonderful, remarkable, extraordinary, unimaginable life.

DEF: miracle, n.

 

1: an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs

2: an extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or accomplishment

 

Love & Light,
TJ

PS. Both me and my dogs are fine, staying with family until my new place is ready. Details to come.

Day 9: A closer look at 2011 - The Year of the Rabbit

According to the Chinese Horoscope:
We are now in The Year of the Rabbit (Feb 3, 2011 - January 22, 2012)

So what does that mean?

The Rabbit year is marked by diplomacy and negotiation.  Also, many people will notice attention shifted back into both families as well as personal developments.This can lead to many cultural gains and some artists will exceed any limits and create remarkable works. This year will be more calm, than other recent years and this calm will lend time to self, family, and artistic pursuits.

So what does this mean to me?

Well, I have already experienced the shift of my attention from work-related interests to more creative avenues.  In previous years I was known as the workaholic,  working a steady 40 + hours a week and always willing to pick up extra hours. I had a lady call me last week to pick up her trip and I have not been a flight attendant for over 6 months now.  But, she has my number down in her phone as someone that will always work. With all this newly created time, I have been writing.  My writing pursuits include this blog, books of poetry, some spoken word pieces, and even some meditations. I probably devote 40 + hours a week to my writing, editing, memorizing, and attending/performing at open mic nights all over the city.

Now, I wish the year of the Rabbit would also mean that I will be reward financially for my artistic efforts. But in order for that to happen, the rest of the world will have to value these pursuits as much as I do and support my work and the works of other artists.  I think that I am ahead of the curve, but hopefully the rest of the world will experience this shift in attention and start patronizing the arts and the people bound to this existence.  Perhaps I need to create a Foundation for the Arts and get government grants to support this cause.  We all know that they have removed many arts and music programs from our schools.  And then they wonder why our children are failing math and science courses, do they not recognize the connection between the two.

So I propose that we make this year - The Year of the Rabbit - a productive year noted by tremendous gains in the areas of Arts, Music, and Education.

Light & Love,

TJ

Day 5: I can breathe easily

So...I think yesterday was a test of my commitment to my mission for the month of March.  I think that I was feeling the pain of being stretched to my limits (like a rubberband). But today, I felt the shift and the tension ease a bit.  I pushed forward today and I had a very productive morning filled with appointments. This afternooon, I interviewed (2nd part) at a new establishment opening in Buckhead at the end of this month.  If selected I will be leaving from my other two part time positions, and entering one full time one.  The shift that they are looking to fill is a morning shift from 9 until 3.  Did I mention this spa is 5 minutes away from my boyfriend's job and we will be able to carpool, his schedule is from 8 to 4. With the gas prices at $3.45 per gallon and steadily climbing, this will help to ease our wallets.  Also, riding in the HOV lane will help us both arrive at work on time.  Win-Win situation. 

The miraculous thing about this job offer is that I was not even looking for it at all.  I was content with staying where I was, but a good friend encouraged me to check this place out. I decided that I would go with her to the open house just to get the information--that couldn't hurt, right? Well...I showed up and fell in love with the facility. It is absolutely beautiful.  If the staff turns out to have the same beautiful spirit as the building it will be a huge success. Right now, I have done my part and have all of the proper paperwork ready to go WHEN I am called back in. (Wink)

It has not even been a full week and so much has happened...the wheels are in motion. I can truly breath easily knowing that I am doing everyhting in my power to accomplish my goals. Now it is time to sit back an relax and enjoy this life!

Love & Light
TJ

ARE YOU ON THE RIGHT PATH?

Day 4: Making Miracles Month continues....

    Day 4 was a little more difficult, I have to be honest with you all.  This is when if you are not vigilant you can regress back to your own habits, bad food choices try to sneak back in out of convenience.  If time creeps away from you it is easy to fall off.  Without the proper amount of food I can become super cranky and that is not good for keeping a positive mental attitude.
   
   But now I am sitting here at my favorite coffee shop and after hours spot for open mic poetry night.  Bella Earth Naturals.  www.bellaearthnatural.com I am in for a special treat tonight, my sister is here to listen to me perform my spoken word poetry.  She has seen me on youtube videos and read my poems on email, but in person is so much different.  To experience the creativity flow when artists join together in one space with one goal -- to CREATE.  The power of creation, is one that we are all blessed with.  I encourage you to create something, anything, whether it is: poetry, art, home decorating, cooking, baking, sewing, knitting, writing, singing, gardening...the list goes on.  Once you become a master craftsman at creating these things, it will not be long before you begin creating the life that you want. So simple.

Love & Light,
TJ

Day 3: Making Miracles Month

So....Day 3 is well under way.

I have had an interesting day that started with some difficult tasks. But, I handled the hardest thing first and that really freed up my day to get many things accomplished.  I just left the Farmer's Market and I was able to restock my pantry and fridge with the necessary foods to stay on my meal plan.  On a budget I was able to buy lots of fresh fruits and veggies, and some healthy snack options.  I bought some unsalted cashews, some dried cherries, and popcorn kernels to eat as snacks.  Setting up your environment for success is the first step to accomplishing any goal.  I have planned out meals and snacks for the rest of the week. But with eating mostly fresh fruits and veggies, I will have to shop again next week. I was also able to drop off my recyclables.  Even though my day started with a difficult task, it will finish on a strong and positive note. 

So with this month, understand you will have difficulties and non-positive moments. But the length of time that you spend in that negative space is up to you.  If people around you are not operating at the highest vibration, you may have to take a break from them for a little while.  Let them know that you have ALOT of positive things going on for you this month and you cannot afford to get bogged down with any negativity --gossiping, complaining, whining, moping,  doubtful or fearful thinking, angry or hostile speaking.
NOT HAVING ANY OF THAT. DONE AND DONE.

I have already felt a major shift and a lot of things that have been weighing heavy on my soul, have been lifted already. It is only Day 3.  Imagine where we will be at the 31 Day mark.

Light and Love,
TJ


     

Day 2 of Making Miracles Month

Good Morning Miracle Makers,

Day 2 of March has begun and I am still buzzing from all of the activity that happened yesterday.
Several things occurred yesterday:

1.  I was asked to collaborate on three major projects, and each will incorporate my talent of writing.

2.  I was invited to a workshop on a subject I have been wanting to take for a while at a very reduced price.  This certification will enhance my healing art business 10,000 fold.

And the icing on the cake (metaphysical cake, that is)....


3. I have been offered a position at a new state of the art facility that had the potential to increase my income substantially. The location is AMAZING.  More info to come.

I know that it seems that I have staged this whole thing, because on Day 1 I had many miracles already take place.  But I have no reason try to lie or trick anyone.  I am sharing this whole experience with you because I know that it works.  Once you align yourself directly with your intentions and are open to receive them, miracles can happen.  I have been asking for help in these areas for a while now, but yesterday I was in a position to receive these things.  And so it is...

What do you want more than anything in the world?
What areas do you feel like you have been struggling in?  Fighting a resistance?
What would take a weight off of your shoulders? Free you?

Write these things down and set the intention. You can have everything you want and or need and it does not have to take forever to come to you.  Once it is written down. Understand that it has been sent out into the ether and all sorts of people, places, and things will be orchestrated and arranged to meet your needs. You are just that powerful.  But you have to vibrate at the highest frequency in order for these things to come to you. That is the Law of Attraction at work.

Time for me to get moving, I have more miracles to witness today. You do too! Let's move!

Love and Light,
TJ

Making Miracles: MARCHing Onward and Upward

Greetings Readers:

I am pleased to announce that March is Making Miracles Happen Daily Month. I have decided to make some tremendous strides this month and I encourage you to take on this challenge along with me.  I am in the midst of completing many projects and in order to push through to the next level (completion), I have to redirect all of my energy and time to these tasks.  In order to reach my goals, I have decided to omit eating meats and process foods, watching television, and any other "low energy" activities. If you do not know where to get started, re-read my post: Rewrite Your Life.

So today set some specific goals, determine what things are taking up too much space in your life and can be omitted for the month of March. Make this journey your own. And watch miracles become apart of your every day experience.

Mind Over Matter. You can do anything you set your mind to do! Let's do this thing!

Love and Light
TJ

P.S. I will blog daily for the Miracles Month so we can keep up with each other on this journey. Let's go!
