I commit to being fully engaged in each moment in this day I commit to being responsible to my mind, body, and spirit within I throw off the weight of inadequacy and despondency Now is enough I commit to not overcomplicating my life with the complexities of over commitment I commit to not tarry through life just trying to make it through each day, but that I do make each day un-arduously simplistic.

The teacher came to teach with me and to me today, and my heart is glad. Instead of an apple, He brought me the gift of peace and we began our lesson plan. He asked why I was so anxious, so worried, to this I replied, "I don't know, I'm trying to figure it out." He asked, "how will you figure anything out without me?' He told me that if and when I am lost to search deep inside myself. There will I find Him, and all answers within. I thanked the kind teacher and went about my way, wondering what I did so good that He should visit me on today. Amen.

Today, I put on the spirit of humility... Today, I take my time... Be careful, be deliberate... Today, I let my Lord's countenance be all about me... Today, I serve with joy and honor as it is a privilege... Be filled with joy, hope, and peace. Radiate.... Today, I take the Holy Spirit wherever I go Be filled with Love and offer it in abundance to others... Today, I listen to my spirit first and I leave room for work... Be not, so critical of yourself.... Today, I heed the small voice within, for it is always right.

The following passage was written after a trip to the Bahamas. I learned some things and ultimately grew stronger, despite the mosquito bites.

May it unlock the full potential of you. - Peace ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Beauty is how I feel. I learn to appreciate the beauty without envy, to fully enjoy it in its Godness. I learn to observe beauty without being overly concerned that my beauty is not the beauty of the observed. My beauty is not relative, it just is. Beauty is in all of us, all round us, and in it all lives Wisdom. I am beauty.I love my beauty _________________ Photos by Shawn Escoffery http://shawnescoffery.com/

Perfect – (1):“without errors, flaws, or faults,” (2):“complete and lacking nothing essential.” In reading these definitions, I am grateful that in every Imperfection there is an opportunity to recognize “I’m Perfect.” It gives me an opportunity to appreciate the reality of who I am not just who I wish to be. The good news is that both definitions are true. My spirit is at peace knowing no person is truly perfect and whatever state I am in life, I am complete, lacking nothing essential. Perfection - "somebody or something that has reached the highest attainable standard.” An “I’m Perfection” perception is a view that leaves me feeling failed and depleted when I don’t live up to the high standard I set for myself. Whatever I perceive as my imperfections, I learn about them and from them. I am assured that I am complete and lacking nothing essential, despite of them. I Love myself for who I am today for I am Ideal, Just Right, Great, and Wonderful in other words I’m Perfect!

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 k now 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 th...
