Class Is In Session

I wish I could tell you that I am a well put together human being. I wish all my blog posts boasted of this life where I know everything and answers came to me with the greatest of ease. I'm intuitive and decisive but I'm very faulty mentally, not the crazy slice you up and eat you type of faulty but the time that’s self-critical and reflective. I’m an over-thinker.

With that having been said, a recent revelation in my life brought me to my knees. After over thinking I had to beg my very uppity and upset soul to trust the process. What does that even mean, I asked myself in the middle of the night. Trusting the process means not fretting and allowing what was meant for you, meet you along the way. We are set as people to go for something and have it work according to our well thought out plans. Hell and behold should this not happen. The over thinkers on this planet will get me.

So I decided to do a little soul searching in aspects I know I need to keep in check. I looked at mind, body and soul and looked at how I can better keep focused on what is working out well for me, right now:

Mind - I know that even though there are things that I am working on and thinking though I am no longer in a depressed state. I no longer have those moments and when they do I allow myself no longer than 2 hours to be in that moment. I know that if I commit my thoughts to God he will take care of the rest. I need to rest in that – everything is working out for my good and that is the final truth.

Body - If I don’t do things that keep me active my body will not tire out which leads to restlessness. I need to keep being active even when walking and jogging on the roads means I am seen by people. I must go beyond the roadside spectators. I need to build a certain level of resolve.

Soul - God is no man that he should lie. With that in mind, we are going to face difficulties but it doesn’t mean that they define the soul they just equip you with a stronger backbone. Yes the soul is tired and the year is racing so fast, however, an emotional audit of the circles you are in is another great way to shed the soul’s excess weight.

Trust the process, with your heart and soul. I never knew this until this year. I didn’t fully apply the concept because I don’t stop to appreciate the lessons in most cases or rather let’s say I choose and picked what I want to learn and life never works that way. Stop and allow things to go according to how they want to go and not how you want them to go. It’s time to elevate to the highest and greatest level of ourselves.

The bond that liberates

There are relationships that will always remain close and dear to your heart. These are such trusted and loving relationships. I’ve always remained teachable in relationships I find myself in. I find the soul being elevated in the sight of authentic and realistic relationships. Where there is little to no reservation, bearing in mind I’m speaking about real relationships, not the kind where you just kickin it . I’ve dated two men who have seen me as not just a woman in their lives but also a sister. Now we generally use these terms so loosely however as Africans we are relatively still in tune to our real African roots. We still look into the soulful spaces of the relationship we are in, it's how we excel in respect. I notice that resonating often in our lives. But I digress. The validation of the sister/ brotherhood in a relationship is almost as befitting as a gold star rating in your role as that person’s partner. Let me explain. When one can honestly feel at home in...

Speak to God

Spiritual work and a spiritual life are unspoken and unnoticed daily activities known to man. You might say to me - but that's obvious. But because of the space we find ourselves in, other things take precedence over our spiritual time. We find people priding themselves in the work ethic and how much they have built, good as that is one can neglect the spiritual growth needed to enjoy the finer things in life. In order to have a fulfilled life your spirit has to be a happy one. A person on their deathbed will always express the importance of enjoying life, they hardly mention the need for money and assets as they slip onto the other side. People may even say spiritual activities are designated for certain people. However, connections with God are not always smooth sailing. This is because there are multiple ways that your spirit might connect with God. Questions I have for you are, are you aware of how to connect with God? Do you know that there might be several ways that ...

Muted Men

It all started with a tweet from a lady I respect and admire @KirtyBisset (Nov.16) that read, “Shout out to the fragile men.” I then replied to her saying that her tweet speaks to me my heart and that I wanted to write a blog about this very thing and she encouraged m e to go on and do it. I’ve been wanting to speak about the silencing, disrespect and abuse of men and how this has been ignored for far too long. My final wakeup call was when I realised that gender violence doesn’t really have a preference to which gender it will choose, it just violates. I have been reading up on this for years and my interest comes from a multitude of seen and heard stories amongst people I know. I know men who have been assaulted by women whom they had trusted and loved. I have watched women in my family abuse men physically or verbally. I have seen this reaction come out of anger and I have seen it come from pure malicious intent of trying to provoke a man just to see how far they can go. My...
