I had a dream about stretch Armstrong.

I had a dream... about Stretch Armstrong. 
Remember this plastic dude? 

He was made of latex rubber filled with gel corn syrup, enabling it to be stretched from 15 inches to 4-5 feet. 

Think about that for a second---from a foot and some change to 4 to 5 feet! 

In order to get from where I am to where I want to be-- I have to stretch:

1. Physically

2. Mentally

3. Spiritually

4. Emotionally

A lot of old beliefs are coming up and if l let them will keep me right where I am. 

Well, I don't want to stay right where I am. I want to grow. 

I always was afraid of competition. It's not about that.

It's about being the best version of yourself as possible. When you are constantly seeking and choosing to grow and stretch- you are able to contribute more.

As Rumi says, “I didn't come here of my own accord, and I can't leave that way.
Whoever brought me here will have to take me home.” 

Follow your bliss- and in giving myself permission to follow mine, I am kicking fear in the ass. 

Love and blessings,
E

Me, Myself and Rogue.

Hello Readers! I ask you to connect to the picture below for a few moments. Remember her?  Rogue: the powerhouse from  X-Men. She had the ability to absorb the memories, physical strength and remove the specialities of almost anyone she touches.  Sounds pretty cool, right?  Well, the storyline built around her is that she needed to avoid all physical contact until she gained full control over her power. It affected her romantic relationship with Gambit. Imagine not being able to hug or show affection because you could kill another human being?  In moments of desperation, Rogue turned to Professor X to seek help to control her powers. It took a while for her to be accepted; it was the persistence and the compassion of Professor X to allow the others to give her a chance.  In many ways, I truly connect with her character. This wave of nostalgia joined me when my best friend randomly said, "Omg- E! You are soooo Rogue. You internalize everything!" (at lea

5 days of Clarity. Welcome 2014

Experience has gotten me out of my head.  When you step out, it’s really powerful! How much time do we spend in our own heads, a place that is so comforting but is as empty as a loft space with no heating and cracked windows. Rats are roaming the floors yet there a hint of light shine through the cracks. If this were a home renovation (which it is), I would be able to envision the possibility. There are possibilities for my mind: it’s a matter of rearranging furniture. Radical compassion is working!   I find myself  trusting in and seeking God.  What you seek, you will find; it has shown up in fellowship and service of others.  I am accepting of my flaws, clear about my strengths, and what I want to contribute to the world.  I believe in familial curses as much as blessings. I believe throughout the generations, the hope is that each one will improve upon the last. (Obviously, that’s not always the case). For years, I have struggled with my identity: stuck in

I don't know how, but I WILL someday.

I have been letting anger, frustration and doubt get the best of over the past few weeks.  I'll share my discovery.  What has finally worked for me was to be an observer of my thoughts.  As someone who tries not to be judgmental of others, I am certainly Supreme Court Justice with herself.  And so I resign.. My vision for this blog is to share my personal observations, challenges, solutions and offer an honest, impacting observations and lessons created out of love.  As a loving person with others, I am learning how to cultivate that relationship with myself.  The pendulum swings slower these days but as I was reminded by a friend, I have to celebrate my progress. In other words, it's the journey that is unique to me allow me to grow and forward myself.  So what better time to celebrate then my birthday. On Thursday,  I will be 28 years young.  My vision is big and over the past year, I have been blessed with time, resources a
