An Optical Illusion

 


Just Imagine if words held no emotional power? What if they were simply tools for communication and a means to covey information? Just how different would our lives be if words did NOT effect us? It's utterly amazing to me how much they really SHAPE us. The last few weeks of my life have been an in-depth analysis of the subject, and I'm ready to share my initial findings with the world...

Quarantine has been an entire perspective change for me as a whole. It has me looking at my day to day activities, asking myself how much they were REALLY contributing to my actual happiness and growth as an individual. I found myself asking these questions because of the emotional slump that seemed to develop simultaneously. I found myself being intently focused on people, and the things they were saying/doing. I noticed, I myself, was a lot more introspective; spending large amounts of time in my own head; LOOKING at the words and actions in an attempt to get to the WHY behind them. There are many times in life where things are said and done to achieve a goal that had nothing to do with the original problem at hand...

Not only does this leave the issue unresolved, but now you have potentially opened up a fresh can of worms, further compacting the initial problem. Instead, you are now focused on this "new" set of words, as opposed to being solution oriented. It's a never-ending cycle, which, I, for one, am more than ready to break...Our solution: Release the power of words to the Universe. How??! By hearing the words, processing the information, and LETTING GO; SIMPLY REFUSE TO BECOME IT. Whatever the words, whatever is being said, allow it to wash over you like a wave, feeling every drop, but not allowing even the tiniest speck of moisture in.

If isolation has done anything, it has set some otherwise dormant minds aflame, and all sorts of thoughts, and ideas may be thrown into the atmosphere; be ever vigilant for spilled feelings! Many of these will be in the air as well. In any case, you must quickly identify the problem for what it truly is, and handle it accordingly. Return words to the origins from whence they came; a device for communication. The last thing you want is to be caught in an emotional windfall of your own creation. Be as tolerant as you can of others in these trying times, but Remember: Your mental health is you #1 priority.~The Queen

The Virtuous Woman

  I remember growing up in church and hearing this term mentioned several times in reference to a particular bible verse.  It was always used in conjunction with a lesson concerning the ways in which a woman should conduct herself; specifically, what characteristics a woman should possess in order to be the ideal partner.  As a child, this was one of the lessons I took with a grain of salt because I was too young to fully appreciate all of its implications.  As I grew older, the concept continued to escape me; as outside influences became more prevalent, and began to shape my perspective.  It wasn't until recently, while reading that the idea returned to me, that I started to reflect on what this actually meant to me; I chose to define it on my OWN terms... Virtue, by definition, according to the New Oxford American Dictionary, means, "behavior showing high moral standards; a quality considered morally good or desirable in a person; a good or useful quality of a...

The Tea: Days of the Week Energy Correspondence

  Sooo, the hot topic of conversation between myself and my closest friends has been how out of wack we feel, and just out of sync we seem to feel with our current realities.  It sparked a renewed interest in an article I came across about 7 years ago that talked about how we were doing things all wrong on a daily basis... From the day we are born, we have a schedule, of sorts that is imprinted on us.  As opposed to learning through our own intuition when to act, and how to maneuver certain energy, we are forced into what is pre-existing; what is most conducive to the environment in which we are now being integrated...and this becomes life.  Never giving a second thought to the fact that perhaps you should be moving entirely differently.  According to foreverconscious.com  , the specific vibrational signature for each day of the week is influenced by the planet for which it's name originates.  Each day was named after the planet with the corresponding ...

The Lipstick Diaries Volume 8: Devoted to Chili (Literally!)

  You know, I find it really funny that, suddenly, during quarantine and social distancing, there is this sudden emphasis on self-care and protecting your energy.  It would stand to reason that these concepts (and the engagement thereof!) would have been most vital when we were interacting person.  Don't get me wrong, I'm all for re-connecting to Source WHENEVER necessary; I just find it hilarious when loving yourself as an individual has become a fad(sadly, like so many other things in life, it took becoming popular for people to pay attention!  Anyway, I digress!).  Regardless of the reason behind it, I'm happy to see a collective conscious shift to the importance of stillness of mind at various points throughout the course of the day.  As a matter of fact, I've adopted the concept to develop a whole new outlook on life-a state of perpetual chill... Minding your own business becomes easier the more it is practiced.  It eventually becomes second natur...
