Be Still…….(a repeat)

 

of-love-everyone-becomes

I originally wrote this in Sept 2011.  I ran across it as I was going through posts for my book, and it stuck out, so I wanted to re-post it today. I like it. Hope you do……  Please keep in mind; I do not write poetry!! LOL  I was feeling rather ‘loving” and “connected” at the time that I wrote this. But you will see I am no poet!!  Nor is grammar my strong point! (apparently!)  HA! I like to think I have grown some since this was wrote….but I made a decision to NOT edit things;I like to see my growth!

 

 

 

Be still and know that I AM…..(Psalm 46:10)
I AM the LOVE that you feel,
I AM the breath that you breath,
the heart that beats in you,
the stars in the sky,
the clouds that pass by,
the trees that stand and the birds that sing. I AM the eyes of the stranger you pass and the smile of that child…..I AM the music that stirs you, the very ground that you walk on. From the mountains to the sea….I AM….be still and hear me. Behold the wonders of this world…because I AM.

 

Pondering the day away……….

hammackOK so I’m not “pondering the day away” while I lay in a hammock, staring at the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean. In reality I’m sitting in Barnes and Noble; so while I am not relaxing on a Caribbean beach, I am still pondering .

Today I’ve been “pondering” many things. My mind is alive with so much thought I can’t contain it! ( sounding familiar already,huh?)  You may be interested, or maybe not, as to what is on my mind.

Well hold on to your boot straps! Cause here they are, in no particular order, for your reading pleasure; but not approval! Cause aint nobody got to approve of ME. Or my thoughts! Ha!

I’m always saying we need to be authentic! So today you will get a glimpse into my authentic thoughts on a day when my mind is wandering and pondering……..

1.Chickens ( as in my new babies)

2.Writing

3.Twittering

4.Facebooking

5.Meaningfulness

6.Financial matters

7.Eating

8.Exercising

9.Communication (as in -lack of- from certain people and I will admit…..I STILL don’t get it!)

10.ISBN #’s,Editing,marketing,researching……..

11.The importance of goals

12.How much room do I have in this head of mine? Geesh!

13.I need to share 1 more so that we end on an even note!

14.Why are these women next to me talking about sex,guns,prison,zumba, & donuts, with these young girls who do not appear to be their daughters? And….Why am I listening? I realize this could have been  2 but I wanted to stop on 14! OK?

15. I know I said I wouldn’t add another; but my desire to say this is greater than my OCD over the numbers! It is really bothering me….do you Lie or Lay in a Hammock?    I lay….past tense? So….my sentence above is CORRECT, yes, no? Did you catch it….did it bother you?  :)   Am I right? Am I wrong?

This is leading me to another post! Grammar,structure,writing,OMGosh! Let it go!

Why Can’t I Stay FOCUSED?!!??

dreams7I’m supposed to be studying. I’m supposed to be doing my assignment. Don’t get me wrong, I have studied and done some of my assignment;but I’m supposed to be getting a whole heck of a lot more accomplished!!

So what is the problem? I’m finding it hard to stay focused. Why? Because I want to write….I want to read….I want to read things that get my thoughts going so that I can write about them. I like to get inspired, so that I can write. I’m constantly dreaming of what I can do *now* to get my thoughts out into the world for others to read or hear……

This is where my mind is most of the time (99.8%), it is wandering around the internet and the dream world, wondering what I can do next;other than school work! What can I read to inspire a thought? Something I can talk to you about it.

I know I should buckle down and read for the sake of finishing school, but I can’t seem to stay focused, I get side tracked with the whole…reading,writing,inspiring,encouraging,thing, ahhhh sounds like heaven to me!  But they do go hand in hand….. kind of,right?

I am studying Empowerment Coaching, breaking through our walls and learning not only to dream our dreams, but how to stop self-sabotaging, so that we can reach said dreams!! So while I want to help others break down their walls,I get side tracked in reaching my own dreams, which, as time goes on, seem more about writing and sharing on the subjects of Gratitude,Forgiveness, Encouragement & Unconditional love ( which ALL help break through those walls!), than learning how to one-on-one coach.

It’s not that I’m not interested in helping one person at a time (I’m interested in helping anyone), it is just that….. I guess my passion lies somewhere other than one-on-one coaching! I have this huge urge inside and a need to get it out, like God is pushing me daily to stop messing around and get it out once and for all!  I have a knowledge given to me by a power greater than myself or anyone walking this earth, a supernatural source! ( OK, I give you that one…it sounds pretentious! sorry!) But I feel the great I AM has put this in me and I can’t seem to contain it at most times! I fear that if I do not get it out, it will bubble over of its own volition; whether I’m ready or not! And sometimes I feel like studying and doing assignments is getting in the way!

Ahhh but I need to be grateful! I realize it is this very school that has taught me to reach for what I want! I had so much knowledge before enrolling, but I didn’t know what to do with it. As I have gone through my studies I have gotten more in touch with my source!  I have learned (more so than before) to be still so that God can speak to me! It was and is amazing! I am grateful to have had this opportunity! I only wish there was some way to graduate without having to do the “internship” part! The one-on-one coaching! It is hard when you feel like something, that is so time-consuming, is not helping you to reach your goals! Which now I realize it did help me, but I feel I am there now and need to get going!

When I give in and let myself concentrate on my dreams,what I believe I should be doing, I’m rewarded with that intuitive knowing inside;the knowledge that I’m on the right track! The only problem I can see is it led, no leads, me further and further away from one-on-one coaching! Which in turn makes it extremely hard to continue and concentrate. But continue I will! And it stands to reason, if I continue I will concentrate! HA!

So I guess I have made a long ramble out of what should have been a short easy answer. Why can’t I stay focused? Because I’m constantly dreaming of doing what I’m meant to do -100% of the time.

 I am dreaming that one day my dreams and my reality will collide!  And that is a dream I have for all of us!
