Stay true to the Roots.

She opened the door.

new place, new space.

There are unfamiliar faces

Testing her knowledge.

She aces life's tests .

The wind blows.

High velocity.

A branch is torn off,

The roots are in tact.

* * * * * * * * *

Stay true to the roots.

Branches grow in many directions,

Yet, the roots remain safely in the ground.

Life's seasons, nature's reasons.

Knowing the branches may break

But being willing to explore the directions..

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 e...

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 struggl...

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...
