Perfecting the Art of Peace

 



It's official...I'm in my Soft Era...and not for any of these silly reasons you see flooding the internet right now...outside of the keeping to yourself and minding your business; not becoming emotionally invested in the things that are happening outside of you.  Now that's a sentiment I can get behind in Any era!  I just came to the realization that there are no hard edges in Peace.  It's calm, tranquil, and smooth; silky to the touch...That's exactly the feeling I'm going for...

I have moments of pure bliss throughout the day, so I began to observe these moments to myself, "How can I make this feeling last?  How do I make this my preferred state of being?"  As opposed to allowing anxiety to kick in, sending my over analytical mind into overdrive, I instead looked to my inner child.  At what points throughout the day was she most stimulated and engaged?  Now that answer was very simple:  "When I am learning and creating."  Yes!  These are my greatest joys.  Writing is definitely apart of that process...

Next I checked in with my body asking, "Girl, when do you feel your most sensational?  What is it I need to do for you?"  Her response was, "Well I love Spring Water,  herbal teas with brown sugar and honey with breakfast, morning Yoga, Eye masks three times a week, and long, hot showers with Eucalyptus steamers!"  Sounds like my kinda girl...Done...

"Ok Mind, you up next homie, what you got for me?"  She said, "I'm with the little lady on the learning aspect.  You're a pretty interesting chick whose into some dope stuff, so I like exploring each of those avenues in different ways.  We must keep reading and writing; any and everything we possibly can!"  Absolutely! as a matter of fact there were 2 new books I was just thinking about starting, and I need to also finish up that Tarot Card Reading Certification...I got you Homie...

Most sacred to my heart, I finally checked in with my higher self.   "My Love, what is it that you desire?!"  Her answer didn't come in words; it was a feeling...The best way too describe it was lots of light, airiness, floral, and heavily smelled of incense.  I knew precisely what that meant...

It was resounding Yeses for me across the board!  I was more than  happy to fall into this beautiful, balanced flow.  Each part of me simultaneously having her needs met, and agreeing to work in tandem.  Happiness is a choice that must be cultivated on a daily basis by taking both responsibility and control over your emotions and responses to life...Eh, it's Gonna Life; it's up to you to find the least treacherous path for yourself through.  Anything wanting to challenge those beautiful boundaries, must go...

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...
