Reminders of Myself Buried in Treasure

Appreciate Me, and what I have to offer….not just my good ____.
Appreciate My soft skin and big legs and big eyes and full thighs and the prize in between.
...My mind in how it will perplex and challenge you
...My laughter that will lift and encourage you.

Appreciate Me, a queen more valuable than rubies, not afraid to face the past hurt of yesterday, knowing that is where it will stay.
Appreciate My struggle and the stretch of my ambition
...My female intuition, the condition, of my physique
...My delicate and petite frame,
...My brain that was wise enough to choose you.
Appreciate Me in all that I do, not just can do to or for you.

I deserve good loving
I deserved to be pleased
I deserve your head between my knees
I come first; I say I come first…literally before you
Because in my eyes and the breath of my sighs lie the cries of babies yet born
Joys without measure and the ability to birth in my buried treasure

Appreciate Me, the way I do
I am beauty personified, energy in me deeper than the leagues of thousand seas
Power perfected is always respected
Appreciate Me

After Effects

I wrote this blog after watching a preview of the movie 12 Years a Slave. hosted by Sojourners Wednesday, October 9, 2013. It was an amazing movie, I wanted to record the personal impact it had upon me while my feelings were fresh and raw. I realized that it served as a catalyst in surprising ways. Ironically on yesterday, I checked my mail and in the box was a letter from Sojourner’s magazine--reminding me that it was time to “Renew.” How could they be so right? **************************************************************************** I woke up like any other day this morning but somehow I am different. Tonight I feel a lot of elements coming together and congealing like water droplets across a Teflon pan. For one thing, I learned that I am an organizer--it doesn't matter what I’m organizing or for what cause, it’s what I do. And, I haven’t done it in a while. For two, I have learned that life sometimes takes you full circle. You’ll find yourself at a crossroads that you onc...

Let the Best Light In You Shine Through

Usually, I write about how dissatisfied I am with myself and my life—always thinking about what I can do different and better. There are times when I am 100% content—when good and bad do not matter, those are the moments when everything “is.” I would love to have more of those moments, more time for simply taking it all in. I am learning to ask myself in the affirmative what’s good not what’s wrong. I am also learning to ask myself whether or not the activities I engage in are life giving or life draining, and if they are life draining, then what will I do to replenish my cup, when will I do it. I notice how often I drag myself through doing some intolerable activity begrudgingly but with determination and laser-sharp focus. When I am through I say, “Yes, now I can be myself.” But, for that time I am myself just not my best self. I do not want to put myself on hold or wait for special circumstances (just the right ones) to show up as my best self. My best self may not always...

Ask For What You Need

On last Thursday, I couldn't work. I tried to concentrate but couldn't. I was grasping at something, something I couldn't reach, and clamoring at something unseen. I felt the tension in my body and in my emotions, I was angry--but at what? On Thursday I updated my Linked-In profile, and I realized there were things missing, words and ideas I wanted to communicate. A story I wanted to tell that couldn't be seen from the sterile words I used to describe my professional career. So, I kept updating, and looking at other profiles, and I kept yearning, grasping as if my Linked-In profile would reveal a magic answer. Instead, what I found  was me...telling myself I was not good enough, not educated enough, didn't have enough experience in this area or another, I needed more training. All of this validating my fears and solidifying my unworthiness. Geez! It's clear now although it wasn't then. I don't have all of the answers, I likely never will. But Go...
