These last few years have been a blur. One incident after another, one disappointment or setback after another and I definitely lost sight of the woman I used to be and the woman I am becoming, She has always been right here... just a little neglected, trying to survive the changes that this life can bring. She was caught up in the hype of what she thought she needed in order to be successful, instead of just enjoying the art of being, just being ALIVE, awake and alive. See, sometimes we chase after things we think we need to live the life we desire and we find ourselves buried in a web of lies that others have submitted and we chose to believe as truth. The funny thing about truth is... we all have one and if we take the time, slow down a bit and examine ourselves, we will come face to face with our own.
Day 9: Today was a great day! I woke up early, spent quality time with my daughter, breakfast and then off to work I went. Work was satisfying... two conference calls, being briefed on the rest of the week; but, within that timeframe my daughter went on a job interview and stopped in to see me. She was so excited and I was elated. She actually got the second call back and starts a test run on Thursday! I am truly happy for her.
I complete my day and I decided to stop off at a store because she has been asking that I make Navy Beans today. I picked up a few ingredients and a few gallons of water, as I have also begun a new program to get myself back to or better than I used to be. As I drove home, I decided to stop by a Redbox, there were a couple of new movies I wanted to see in there; so, I collect them and head home. One of movies was scary so I HAD TO watch it immediately, while it was still light outside and there would be other things on that I would watch before retiring... yep, I have issues with scary movies. :) When it was over I got up to cook and I have never felt more peaceful.
Cooking is therapeutic for me. It allows all the cares of the world to dissipate as I lose myself in creating something delicious from raw ingredients. I LOVE COOKING. I LOVE FEEDING PEOPLE MY CREATIONS. I knew that about myself; but, it is funny how we can forget the things that bring us peace and joy. Today I was reminded of just how much I enjoy something so simple. I am reemerging, experiencing the truth of my being. I AM A WOMAN WHO LOVES TO CREATE. I love writing poetry that makes others think on a subject that I have chosen to delve into and seek out. I love writing stories and books that make people think that they can do and or be anything or anyone they want to be. We are awesome beings; yet daily we experience the mundane things of life without tapping into the greatness that can be created through us in the day. We can choose to speak life, which I also LOVE doing, to ourselves and to others. We can choose to inspire and to create. WE ARE MADE IN THE IMAGE AND WITH THE LIKENESS OF ALMIGHTY GOD, who created and still creates the worlds that surround us and He has chosen, from the very moment of our creation, that we too would be endowed with the power and ability to created worlds... and our very own world.
As I stirred the pot today, I was reminded of the love I have for this simple task. I was also reminded of how long I have wanted to try something else. Funny thing about time; it is not limited, though we treat it as though it is. God's timing is the best timing; so, in the evolution of time, I will experience all that I seek to. I am choosing in this season to enjoy the moments, seconds, minutes, hours of the days. To be fully engaged in the experiences of each day and to smile each time I discover a new thing that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE doing. This is the season to BE, to BECOME and to EVOLVE and as I do I look forward to more smiles, laughter, joy, peace and LOVE. I LOVE "LOVE". LOVE IS ALL AROUND US, all we have to do is open ourselves to it and we will discover that not only is it around us... IT IS US. WE ARE LOVE. WE EXUDE LOVE. WE GIVE LOVE. WE EMULATE THE VERY ESSENCE OF LOVE BECAUSE WE WERE CREATED IN LOVE, BY LOVE... ULTIMATELY, TO BE (OR BECOME) LOVE.
When we are simply BEING OURSELVES, the true and complete version of ourselves, we are living in an artistic and creative state. We live and experience the evolutionary ART OF BEING. WE ARE BEING/BECOMING ONE WITH OUR CREATOR... WHO EPITOMIZES LOVE. SO KEEP SMILING, MY LOVE... LOVE LOOKS GOOD ON YOU.
SIGNED,
THE ME I AM GOING TO BE.
