Hopeful Thoughts - Wayne Dyer #Fate

 

"Go to sleep with visions of what you love. Let your dream vision marinate overnight. Wake up with your positive, hopeful thoughts in place, ready to guide you through a day in which you step ever closer to the life you dream of." - Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Lesson #1

Today's Lesson: I pray the Lord never takes the emotional pain away until I'm delivered from the event that birthed it.

Classroom Management

Life is a classroom. You must teach people how to treat you. People learn how to respect you based on your teaching methods; what your permit and restrict. If someone doesn't agree with these methods... they don't have to come to class.

Leah Labelle [@LabelleMusik] - Bed [J. Holiday Cover]

Leah Labelle is a vocal masterclass. Since her debut on American Idol I've been a fan and can't apply any patience until the world catches up with her gift.  Few have this kind of control.  

I heart Leah Labelle!

Superficial Social Expression

Michael Bernard Beckwith



"Often times individuals hold themselves hostage to the false beliefs they have about themselves, while demanding a ransom from a world powerless to give what they are unwilling to give themselves. Becoming trapped in the dilemma of authentic self-expression versus superficial social expression, an existential identity crisis occurs. Let's stop identity theft & be courageous enough to be authentically OURSELVES!"

Practice, Practice, Practice

"That which transforms our lives is not what we merely believe in, but what we practice - which constitutes our personal laws of life. Your philosophy might give you a temporary state of euphoria, but if you want to be anchored in Reality, it takes practice! What we practice, we ultimately embody, paving the way for breakthroughs, insights and fresh realizations." Michael Bernard Beckwith

In The Life

Essex Hemphill

In The Life

Mother, do you know
I roam along at night?
I wear colognes,
tight pants, and
chains of gold,
as I search
for men willing
to come back
to candlelight.

I'm not scared of these men
though some are killers
of sons like me. I learned
there is no tender mercy
for men of color,
for sons who love men
like me.

Do not feel shame for how I live.
I chose this tribe
of warriors and outlaws
Do not feel you failed
some test of motherhood.
My life has borne fruit
no woman could have given me
anyway.

If one of these thick-lipped,
wet, black nights
while I am out walking,
I find freedom in this village.
If I can take it with my tribe
I'll bring you here.
And you will never notice
the absence of rice
and bridesmaids.

This HAS to be one of the best poems! #WONDERFUL

Anger Management

This is acting at it's finest!

I love Tyne Daly! 

This performance is one of the reasons why!!!!

Tyne Daly as Maxine Grey

Somebody

 

She pulls me.  Her voice and personality.  Deeply, she pulls me.  

For 15 years Reba has been one of the select few country artist who has the gravitas to force my attention.  Have I bought albums?  No.  But through the years Reba resonated with something deep in me.  I've never been able to find out why and I don't care to.  The mystery of the why, to me, would cheapen the how's value.

So, last night, after a fulfulling night of Twitter and Facebook I doozed off around three in the morning.  When I woke up my T.V. was on CMT [Country Music Channel] (don't ask me how) and this video was on.  I laid there silent, looking through my sleepiness, balled tight in my Aztec printed bedspread with great emotional attention and fell in love.  The song apparently has been out for more than a year but this morning created a newness of life for me.  The feeling I felt when the song played and the lyrics ministered is the feeling I desire when/if I meet 'The One.'  

Most know I don't have the desire to be in a relationship.  One reason is two relationships, each lasting three years, left me disinterested in romantic unions of even the fourth kind.   But honestly, it's funny how I can wake with morning emotion and gaining a new way of thinking.  This coupled with the powerful words of the song rekindled two things for me:  my love for Reba and my desire to desire somebody. 

This songs let me know... maybe I'm not looking close enough.  :) 

The Gift, by TeaRon W

After reading this poem by TeaRon W. I thought it well executed and deserving of being seen by as many as could read.

Although I had no hand in the writing of this poem, I feel it to be personal & articulate.

Hope you've enjoyed it as much as I did.

The situation you've put me in
is one that I can't run from.
It's either face that facts
or continue to wonder
where everything went wrong.

I accidentally fell in love with you
but I keep it going on purpose.
Longing for the day that everything
will come to surface.
Praying
Hoping
and wishing
that all my fears aren't real.
Praying that with my heart
I didn't make some top-heavy deal.

The situation you've put me in
is one that I can't hide behind.
It's like you know I'm hurting
yet you won't shield my eyes from the sun
you'd rather me be blind.

I purposely continue to love you
but I accidentally fell into this.
My heart yearns for answers
despite the fact that ignorance is bliss.
Wishing
Hoping
and Praying
for some positive change.
Will the day ever come
that we share the same name?

This situation you've put me in
is one that I am trapped.
It's like a bad gift
that I have accepted because it was nicely wrapped.

- TeaRon W.
