What is Faith?: Growing through Life's Circumstances...

Peace and Blessings My beautiful People!

I do hope that you know, you are beautiful in every way. Even when you don't feel like it, just know in your heart that it's true. Sounds weird right? Well guess what that is Faith right there!


A little about me, I am a non-religious person as defined by me means I don't currently identify with any "religious" group practice. However I do believe in truth, reciprocity, love and kindness. I strive to fulfill and live out these personal beliefs daily.

So back to Faith! What is it? What does it mean? Sometimes I just say keep it simple. Faith by definition is the "complete trust or confidence in someone or something".

So now I would like to enhance and elaborate on the said above definition of faith.

Let's add the  words "and" along with "utter" to the definition and subtract "something" it leaves us with the ability to dig deeper into the word "someone".

So "faith" for the purposes of this blog is "The complete and utter trust or confidence in someone."

"The complete and utter trust or confidence in someone"

That my people is a powerful statement alone.

Now we can look at the object of this definition which is really about the "someone" and that someone is you and I as well as everyone else we encounter. Let's say right now you have complete and utter confidence and trust in yourself.

Who could you be presently?

How can you use this statement to grow through life's circumstances?

 I say this to myself but to you as well remember any circumstance in our life only has relevance based on the association we attach to it. Such as is this circumstance negative or positive? Sometimes a circumstance is just a matter of fact and or condition that is happening in the moment in time in which we are experiencing.

So how does one have "faith" a complete and utter trust or confidence in one's self or someone when some fact or situation in our life is seemingly showing up positive or negative? That's it we have to trust in ourselves, have belief  in ourselves, know within ourselves that through our confidence that all the hell and love we go through will turn out right. However, that doesn't mean inaction. 

It means looking for ways to be proactive in our own lives. Seeking the ability in one self to overcome obstacles no matter how greatly daunting it may seem. 

Sometimes I call upon the wisdom of my ancestors. My grandfather was a Christian baptism minister. He often said "God helps those, whom help themselves."

I can say in my experience no one is coming to save you, and I am not talking about a spiritual being coming from the heavens above.

We must save ourselves from our own circumstance by having faith in our ability to make it through life. But the starting point is individual self, then along the journey self can connect with other like minded individuals in turn we can have faith in each other. 

In a world where disaster, chaos and confusing is ever more present amongst human families. It's relevant to say having a little faith in ourselves and each other can helps us collectively.

What makes a difference..

Greetings Beautiful People! 

Today I strive to address the value of others...

"You must never conduct yourself as if your value has changed.."

And this is where stigma, misconception, & judgement come in.

Stigma- a perception of quality based on an idea of a circumstance associated with a person or thing.

Misconception- an incorrect opinion or point of view based on ones inaccurate awareness and or comprehension.

Judgement-the ability to use reasonable discernment based on evidence to come to an informed decision or idea.

As people we all have different upbringings, experiences and life happenings that shape us into the individuals that we become.

Sometimes when others life experiences or the way in which we live out our lives varies than our own this is when judgement occurs.

We know judgement involves the reasonable ability to come to informed decision. Everything in life in my opinion is not always so black and white or crystal clear. However what is very clear is AWARENESS. 

Awareness can help breakdown judgement, misconception and stigmas.

This is what awareness does it allows you to recognize something for what it  is. 

Sounds simple enough right? But let's think a little more. It's like having a conscious compass guiding you through life interactions.

So here are some questions that should pop in your mind before stigmatizing, misconceptionalizing or judging others.

What is the purpose?
What is the benefit?

Does it help?
Does it harm?

Is it right?
Is it true?

In addition where in my life am I or others stigmatizing, misconceptionalizing or judging me or am I doing this to others? Use it has a mirror of self reflection.

The relative quality and I do mean relative is reflective in our relationships. 

Because everyone's story is not our own to internalize but we can learn from the relationship. 

Our relationships simply mean all interactions with all people. We are relating to world around us everyday. Please know that each person you come in contact with especially those that are considered close to you have an affect on you and you on them.

"In nature some plants rebloom without ever being replanted. Often the soil needs to be turned over and refortified.

However if that's not done nothing is harvested.  It's ok, it was meant to only grow for that season. Appreciate the experience."

"We are all valuable to ourselves and to those that find us valuable. Our value is immeasurable!"

As always from my ❤️ to your ❤️....

Stay Righteous, Stay Fly, Stay True

Intuitive Power: Are you listening?

Peace and Welcome:


Often times when it comes to listening most of us think we are good listeners. However because we are able to follow many lines and relate to talking points of a conversation. Doesn't mean we are listening. 

Active listening ideally is about sitting still being present, awareness  and following what the speaker is saying with out distractions. Providing feedback when appropriate to let the speaker know you are listening. You will find the listener is the person whom is in control of the conversation. In this case if the listener interrupts, the speaker stops speaking.

But the real question is when our intuitive voice kicks in do we stop and listen? Many people who are in-tune with the super natural, meaning the "Highest Degree of Power related to the Universe" for some it's a supreme being, a collective pot of higher consciousness or simply the Sun, Moon and Stars.

The deep rooted question is "Are you listening?" 

Are you listening to gain information or provide feedback. I would like to think that there is within all of us a divine voice. Some relate this voice to God, Most High, spirit, divine intuition or just conscious awareness. I am not here to debate about whom you relate the voice to but be aware we all have voice that guides us. Some of our voices are great at guiding us through many types of life happenings and situations.

However the real question I will pose. When the voice is not in alignment with our EGO or picture of how something should be "Are you listening?"

Our intuitive power is our ability to listen to our intuitive voice!

It provides us with feedback.

Each day we should take time to check in with ourselves. Preferably  as soon as we rise depending on the time in which we rise. There is an auspiciousness to time when we check in with ourselves. See what your voice is saying to you in that moment. Is your voice telling you what you need to know? Are you getting feedback? 


This is a gentle reminder from my heart to yours to be gentle with yourself and simply listen.

Here are some divine words that have created peace and positivity in my life when needed and I share them with you!

"I wrap myself in a robe of light encompassed in the love and power of god.
Not only for my protection but for those that come in contact with it. They too drawn to god
and healed"
