You Are Good Enough Today

A special message for ladies, it's as the songwriter wrote: "Sometimes you have to encourage yourself..."

Be Blessed

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Why isn’t being who you are today good enough?

Why do you need to be a heroic ideal, a mental projection of who you think you should be in some tomorrow? Thinner, richer, lighter or darker, happier, a heroine of community efforts and savior of the modern world

Don’t you know who you are today is already enough? “You” right now in the present is enough.

It is good to have dreams and goals, but do not lose sight of today’s reality because your vision is so far into the future. Don’t miss the blessing under your nose, in your house, in your bed, at your job.

Love you in the now and God and the Universe will thank you for it. Be your own best friend, cheerleader, champion, and advocate.

Tell yourself – how beautiful you are, how smart you are, how much you love those round hips and big eyes. Mean It.

Be thankful for your artistic gifts and use them.

And if you have not done what you have wanted to do yet - You Still Can!

But don’t look through the lens of past guilt, fear, and shame believing you will see a bright tomorrow.

Instead, Hope for a better tomorrow, learn from your missteps but don’t let them hold you hostage.

You are so great and talented and gifted. Let God use you just as you are and most of all express your gratitude for what you have in the present – then God will know He can trust you with an increase tomorrow.

Amen.

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...
