WONDERING ABOUT WHEN IT WOULD BE YOUR TURN?

 


Hello everyone. Thank you for checking out my blog today. I hope you and your families are doing well. It is always a joy to write and share insights with my lovely friends. I love sharing and I am grateful for a platform where I get to share my lessons with you all. Please Subscribe to get notifications when a new blog is posted. Thank you!

Have you ever felt left out? Have you ever felt like everyone else is catching a BIG break but you? Have you ever felt like life is unfair to you and you haven't done anything to deserve it? I mean, you're a good person; you don't cheat, lie or take what belongs to others, yet all the bad luck seems to find you.

Are you feeling powerless because EVERYTHING you've been advised to do, you've done BUT still, life remains the same. You're still broke, broken and sad. Well, you are in the right place. 

See, God doesn't withhold our good from us. In fact, the Bible tells us that when we ask, it is given unto us. However, we have to receive the gift we ask for actively. Here's what I have learned from personal experience. When you pray, you have to see yourself with the thing you ask for in prayer. You have to act like you are the person who already has those things and give thanks like all your prayers have been answered.

This type of mindset requires you to actively reject every thought and inner conversation that is condemning you. The answer to your prayers is done by God but you have to be RECEPTIVE. How can you be receptive? By rejecting thoughts of fear, anxiety, condemnation and resentment. You have to let go of the pain, in order to be free from it. Occupy your mind with the thoughts and imagination of the FINISHED WORK: The feeling of your prayers answered. 

Start affirming that you are now happy, joyful, abundant and the person you want to be. Declare that God has answered you and start acting like you're already living the life you've asked for in prayer. 

I do this on purpose now. I remind myself of whose and who I am. A child of God and Divine in nature. All things are mine by the promise of God. So, I go about giving thanks and affirming that God has already done it and IT IS DONE!

Try it and share your testimony with me when you receive your blessing.

Don't let anyone steal your joy😃!

IT ALL WORKED OUT FOR ME|| Feat Femme Luxe Refinery



Hello everyone. It’s always a joy to share with you all. 
Hope you’re all going great and life is treating you all well. In today’s blog, I want to say to you that it’s all worked out. Everything worked out and it is amazing! Even in the midst of what seems a chaotic mess, it all worked out in my favor. It’s so glorious to think that it all worked out for me. God is good!
Will you believe that it all worked out for you?
Make it a decision to b believe in the impossible and you’ll soon find yourself living the impossible.
Let’s talk fashion now 😊
Fashion is great but you have to know what makes you feel good and looks good on you. I love clothes and I realize that fashion is a blend of how you see yourself and how you want to be perceived by those around you.
The fun part about fashion is, you can change the perception you have of yourself by what you're wearing at any point in time. There are styles you wear that make you feel serious and there are styles you wear that make you feel playful. With this in mind, I choose my clothes based on how I am feeling. 
There are days when I feel like lounging in a fun way. During such days, I choose one of my many loungewears set by  https://femmeluxe.co.uk in a neutral color and relax in it. 



Each color has it's own vibration. Yellow for instance, has the vibration of playfulness and joy.  When I want to feel joyful and playful, I choose this color. It lifts up your mood and brings happy to you. 
Some of us gravitate towards certain colors, based on our perception of ourselves. If you're the kind to stick to a particular color, I'd like to challenge you to try a different color. 
Sometimes, when we feel like nothing exciting or inspiring has happened to us in a while, all we need is a change of color pattern in our clothes and we begin to feel different and welcome excitement into out lives.
Someone once said, to change a situation, you have to introduce a different mindset. You can't change a situation with the same mindset that created it.

One of the reasons I enjoy  https://femmeluxe.co.uk is the opportunity to try different styles and patterns. I get to be a chameleon. The fact that the clothes are stylish and affordable makes it amazing!

I love my new pieces from https://femmeluxe.co.uk
Here’s a few pieces I received recently. I love them and wanted to share them with you. I have also included the direct links to order these clothes at the top of each style. The reason I love femme luxe refinery Uk is that they have fashionable clothes at very affordable rates.

Khaki Loungewear Tracksuit Set https://femmeluxe.co.uk/khaki-loungewear-tracksuit


Khaki green. It’s gorgeous and I like how soft this material is.
Ask me what I’m wearing right now 😀. It’s this very same loungewear 😂 




Brown Black Patterned Crop Knit Jumper 
https://femmeluxe.co.uk/brown-black-patterned-crop-knit-jumper-sienna

This brown and black cropped knit jumper reminded me of a Fendy design and I had to pick it.




Grey Marl Ribbed Oversized Round Neck Jumper https://femmeluxe.co.uk/grey-marl-ribbed-oversized-round-neck-jumper-side-pocket-skinny-joggers-loungewear-set-kori/

WHAT?! I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS?!




Hello wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. I hope this blog meets you well. It is always a joy to write to you. Life is beautiful when we share with others. This is me sharing life with you in the most candid way.
So, have you ever experienced a moment of shock in your life when everything doesn’t make sense? A moment that you want to go away so fast but seems to linger on forever? 
Has someone you trusted and believed would never hurt you, hurt you so bad that it’s taking a while to recover from the shock?
If you have, you’re in the right place. See, when unexpected things happen to us, we have two choices. 
1. We run from them
2. We face them
Here’s the catch. If you run from an enemy, it chases you down. However, if you face it, it has no choice but to give way to you.
Facing the enemy. When you make that choice to face the enemy, God and His armies will back you up.
Let me be clear about something. By facing the enemy I mean, don’t become resentful of how you should’ve, could’ve and would’ve done different. Accept that it happened and give God thanks.
The expectation is for you to be broken and lose hope. But don’t! Choose not to lose hope. Choose not to give in. Choose to surrender to God and let God fight your battle!
Focus on the good you want. Empty your mind of the wrong and pain. Keep moving forward.

Don’t let anyone steal your joy! 🤩

THE STRANGEST THING HAPPEN



Hello wonderful people. I hope this message meets you well. It’s a beautiful rainy day today at Hampton, Ga. I love the rain. The rain washes all the negative energy and dirt off the surface and clears the atmosphere of polluted air. It’s beautiful. The food we eat is grown with rain water. So amazing to have the rain.

Today’s blog is really not about the rain. It’s about the strangest thing that happens when we begin to use our mind differently. See, our mind is like a fertile soil, similar to the soil we walk on and grow our food in. The soil doesn’t care what you plant in it, it will grow and multiply it.
Your mind is a soil. It doesn’t matter what kind of thought you plant/think in it, it grows and multiplies it.
Here’s a quote shared by Earl Nightingale in the recording “Strangest Secret”, this quote is by Marcus Aurelius “A man’s life is what his thoughts make of it.”
WOW! So profound and amazing! Here’s how I have come to an utmost commitment to control my thoughts. I used to think poor little old me thoughts and wondered why my life was a mess. Well, now I know. I become what I think about. So, if I want to change my results, I have to start seeing and speaking myself like the person I want to be and then I’ll be the person I have thought and spoken myself to be.
Our thoughts are also influenced by the people and shows and things we are around or watch. It is necessary to change our circle and limit the amount of time we spend around negative life-sucking energy vampires. They are everywhere but you get to choose who comes into your energy field. 
Make a goal of who you want to be and what you want and focus on it with gratitude. Watch and see the changes that start happening.
I am happy to keep experimenting with the “strangest thing!” Thoughts become things and I’m going to devote my life ONLY thinking about what I want.

BEING A SUPER MOM|| WHAT DOES IT MEAN?



Hello everyone. I hope this message meets you well. It’s a beautiful day. It’s a day of beauty and abundance. It is filled with peace and love. I love this day and am grateful for being a part of it. Are you grateful for today? I think you should be. No matter what you’re currently experiencing, look for one thing to give thanks for and you’ll draw more things to be thankful for to you.



Today is about being a mom. I am a mom, everyday and every night and I’ll always be a mom. Being a strong mom takes courage, grit and perseverance and I am so grateful I’ve got these qualities. In fact, everybody is born with these qualities but laziness keeps us from utilizing these qualities. 


Being a mom means sacrifice, especially sleep. Sometimes, all I want to do is sleep and do nothing  lol. Ha! I have noticed that anytime my mind is dwelling on the “doing nothing” part, 
I am actually visualizing doing something and the kids give me something to do. It’s either someone pees without thinking about going to use the toilet or someone breaks something or they are fighting. Which by the way, one of these issues will get me doing something again 😩. I just want to sleep in peace without having to break a fight or settle a quarrel or even clean up poop. Do you get my point?

If not, here’s the point: don’t focus on what you don’t want, focus on what you DO want. When you focus on the absence or possibilities of things turning out the way you don’t want, you’re telling the thing you don’t want, that you want it.
Learn to think about sleep and rest and not about what could get in the way of your sleep and rest. 
We attract what we are vibrating with. So, if your thoughts and emotions are focused on the disturbance, you’ll be disturbed. That’s it!
My kids are lovely and loud and sometimes crazy too. I love them anyway! I’m a mom and I’m learning to focus on the rest and not on the poop 💩 lol...

BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR MY CHILDREN



Good morning, my friends. I hope this email meets you well. It’s another new day and I’m grateful for another wonderful opportunity to share this moment with you all.
So, I want to talk about parenting and motherhood on this blog. Having babies comes with responsibilities and things that must be done. I love being a parent. I love my babies. I love that I have a responsibility towards my children and an obligation to be their confidante, provider, guide and cheerleader. 
While being all that I am and am supposed to be towards them and for them, I still get tired sometimes.


Sometimes I don’t want to cook, or even do laundry. But I know there are things I have to do as a mother. Sometimes I don’t feel like teaching my kids how to read, write or identify objects and situations but I know these things would help them. So, I get over myself and do these anyway.


What am I saying? There are things in life that you have to do in order to be who God has planned for you to be. Sacrifice is the name of the game and I freaking love it. 
This sacrifice that comes with motherhood, is no joke but it’s worth it. I am constantly working on my consciousness to expand, in order to receive the good I’m demanding of the universe. God is for me.
You’re a mother, you’re worthy and you can do this. Although you may be tired  and don’t feel like being a mom sometimes, lol... 🤣You still got this! 💪🏾

NOT AFRAID OF STARTING OVER AND QUESTIONS



Hello everyone. Thank you all for checking out my blog today. I’m so happy to be blogging. It’s such a great feeling to be able to share my thoughts with you all. 
Today, I want to share another profound quote I came across. It spoke to my heart because there are areas of my life I am growing in. So, this hit the nail right on the head. I hope this quote speaks to you.
Quote by @gaurgopaldas

“Don’t be afraid to start over, this time, you’re not starting from scratch, you’re starting from experience.”

If you’re in the brink of change, embrace it and be excited. You’re really starting from experience and it’s all going to be amazing!

THERE’S SOMETHING THAT MAKES YOU, YOU!



Hello everyone. Thank you for checking out my blog today. It is such an amazing feeling to share this blog with you all. I hope you’re all feeling your best selves. 
So, here’s a simple quote I want to share today. I came across it on the Instagram page of @gaurgopaldas. 
Here it is:
”Don’t lose the Spark that makes you... you.”
What a simple, yet profound statement. This statement got me thinking about what makes me, me. The only answer that came to mind is I’m a woman of crazy faith. I am crazy enough to believe that God is for me and nothing can stop my good from coming to me.
This type of faith is a decision you always have to make. My faith doesn’t discount the fears but it moves it. I know God is for me. I understand that in spite of whatever may be screaming at me, I’m already a VICTOR! 
I just move like I am a VICTOR and it turns out, I AM A VICTOR!
I want to keep operating with this type of mindset. It feels so great! You feel empowered and amazing! When you come to a point where the flesh is lying to you, you can look it in the face and say “NOPE!” I got faith in God! This too shall pass! 

Don’t let anyone steal your joy!

LET US START OVER



Good morning wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. It is Monday and it’s a beautiful day. Hope this blog meets you well. 
Research does that most heart attacks happen on a Monday. The reason is because most people working, hate their jobs or the people they work for. They dread going back to work and facing what they don’t like. 
The remedy is love! If we pursue careers we love or find something we love about what we currently, we will neutralize every form of hate which leads to disease in our bodies.
I believe we can change any situation, including our current jobs if we desire. The way we change our situation is by knowing what we want and seeing ourselves experiencing and living in our ideal situations and working with our ideal colleagues.
God works in mysterious ways. As we engage our imagination and stay in our ideal space and work in our ideal jobs often, everything will make way for that to happen.
I have seen this happen for many people and thank goodness I’m now one of such people.
Daily, I now practice seeing myself where I want to be physically. 
We as a collective, can change consciousness of Monday from that of dread and heart attacks to satisfaction and hopefulness.
So today, let’s start all over. It’s Monday and we love our jobs and business. We are so grateful that we get to do what we love and earn money to spend on ourselves and those we love.
Isn’t it so wonderful?
Have a blast today my friends!

Don’t let anyone steal your joy!

WHY I STOPPED COMPLAINING



What’s up, wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. I hope this blog meets you well. Today is a beautiful day. Thank you all so much for checking out my blog today. 

I used to wonder why I felt stuck and nothing seemed to be moving in my life as I’d wanted. It bothered me so much because I’m a work horse and you’ll never find me being lazy physically. I always put all of my effort towards my goals. 

How come nothing was working in spite  of my efforts and actions? 
Well, I was self-sabotaging myself. The way I was doing it was, by harboring thoughts of why me? I felt sorry for myself because it felt like my prayers were not being answered and no matter how long I fasted or called for prayers, nothing happened. 
I was justifying the lack and emptiness by feeling sorry for me.
It all got me thinking about God and what God truly is. I started asking questions such as: If God couldn’t help me, who could?
Then I started mediating and searching for answers not from the Bible because the answers I got only confused me because I felt I had done everything obvious in the Bible like pray, sow a seed and ask for prayers but NOTHING changed. 

Anyways, I found out about the power of positive vibrations and imagination. See, in the past I would focus on what was wrong and I  prayed and cried for God’s help, while in the vibration of the things I didn’t want. On top of all that,  I was surrounded by ignorant folks who made the devil seem too big for God to defeat. Which by the way, got me thinking: “is the devil stronger than God?” If God is all powerful, why does it seem like the devil is winning?! 

Anyways, my problem was that I was ignorant of the law. The law states what we focus on, we make grow. Our energy flows where our attention goes.
The people I was around were wrong. Sooo wrong! My complaining about my situation didn’t help either. When you complain about what’s not working, you’re fueling the situation and making it worse.Everything around me set me up for failure. However, I still had a lot of fight left in me.I changed my energy. I started reading books that taught me about who I am- a divine being of intelligence and divine love. God is for me and in me. I learned in order to change my life, I first have to change the blueprint. Everything is created twice. First, in the energy world and then in the material. I started affirming that the promise of God is for me. I now make it a habit to visualize and affirm the good I want to see. I also meditate regularly to empty my tank of all negative energies.

THE GAME OF LIFE AND HOW TO PLAY IT|| EXCERPTS



What’s up, wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. I hope this post meets you well. I was thinking about what to share today and it popped. Here’s what I want to share. Excerpts from a book by Florence Scovel Shin. This book “The Game of Life and How to Play It,” is amazing. Here’s a few excerpts that popped to me. Enjoy:

“The robbers of time are the past and the future. Man should bless the past, and forget it, if it keeps him in bondage, and bless the future, knowing it has in store for him endless joys, but live fully in the now.”

“It is man’s divine right to have plenty! More than enough!
“His barns should be full, and his cup should flow over!” This is God’s idea for man, and when man breaks down the barriers of lack in his own consciousness, the Golden Age will be his, and every righteous desire of his heart fulfilled!”

“Man receives only that which he gives. The Game of Life is a game of boomerangs. Man’s thoughts, deeds and words, return to him sooner or later, with astounding accuracy.
This is the law of Karma, which is Sanskrit for “Comeback.” “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

“This is the perfect idea of man, registered in Divine Mind, awaiting man’s recognition; for man can only be what he sees himself to be, and only attain what he sees himself attaining.
“Nothing ever happens without an on-looker” is an ancient saying.
Man sees first his failure or success, his joy or sorrow, before it swings into visibility from the scenes set in his own imagination. We have observed this in the mother picturing disease for her child, or a woman seeing success for her husband.
Jesus Christ said, “And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.”
So, we see freedom (from all unhappy conditions) comes through knowledge – a knowledge of Spiritual Law.”

IT IS NOT THEM|| IT IS I WHO MUST CHANGE



What’s up everyone? Thank you for checking out my blog today. It’s always a joy to post a blog. Today is a beautiful day and I hope you’re having a good day.
So today, I want to talk about your words. Your words have the power to ensnare you and free you. 

Who have you given access to your energy filled that has brought so much dirt into your life?
Who is that demon you have given access to your mind, bringing you pain and distress?
Your life is always the sum total of the thoughts you think and the people around you.
Every word you speak is a spirit that either blesses you or curses you. 
As women, we often let ourselves get carried away by “love” or affection. Thinking we are supposed to help heal a man or make him feel comfortable or show him we are here for him even at the expense of our sanity and happiness. We were never meant to hurt for love. Love is supposed to be empowering not disempowering. Love is hope not dirt.
We deceive ourselves when we think we have to put ourselves down in order to raise others up. What if we can put ourselves up and at same time raise others up?
In this world, the truth about our true divine nature has been twisted. We think peace is not real but chaos is normal. We think prosperity has to be achieved through suffering and pain. We think love is war but it’s all a lie.
Truth is, we become what we think. No wonder most of humanity is suffering and in pain. Because we’ve all believed a LIE! 
Our minds are the center of Divine activity. When we focus on negativity, we create it and live in it. 
My goal is to help wake more people up to their true nature. Since I found this truth out for myself, I’ve been very excited to share with the world. You’re my world. So, stop speaking about things and people that constantly break your heart. Start speaking about circumstances and people you’d love in your life.
The goal is to get in alignment with the good you desire. You, deserve good! You deserve to be happy, prosperous, healthy and joyful. Don’t think it is up to people or things. It’s all within you. 
Make a decision that you will focus on the things you want and clear your mind of all that you don’t want. 

Don’t let anyone steal your joy!

THIS IS WHY YOU ARE STUCK



Good morning, Wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. I hope this blog meets you in great spirit. Today is a beautiful day and I am thankful for the opportunity to send you some love through my post.

So, why do you feel stuck? Why are you stuck? The reason you’re stuck. Have you ever felt stuck in life. Have you ever felt left behind. You know that feeling where everyone else seems to be doing better than you and have something exciting happening for them but you?
I believe everyone of us has felt that way. For most of us, it’s become a normal way of life but it shouldn’t be at all.
Feeling stuck has more to do with your psychological state than your physical state. Everything starts with the mind. When your mind is consumed with resentment and negativity, you won’t experience progress. It’s like cementing yourself in concrete in front of your house and expecting to sprint at the same time. You’re glued. There can’t be movement where the mind is consumed with resentment and unforgiveness and shame. My answer to you is LET GO! Release those part hurts and pain. Release the situation or person holding you back. Actually, you’re holding yourself back by harboring all that junk. LET IT GO!

Say this out loud “I forgive and let go of everything and everyone holding me back.!” Then jump up and stand in a superhero pose, with a smile on your face. Go for a walk. Call someone you care about and wish them well.

The act of letting go frees you from being stuck and opens you up to possibilities. 
I hope this helps you!
Don’t let anyone steal your joy!

Don't let anyone steal your joy!
