  Remember the magic surrounding the story of Cinderella?  Remember her shoes and how mystical they were? The phenomenal thing about life is whatever is for you is for you, and nobody can take it away.  You can't put the same shoe on every foot.  The same shoes that so many might try, but can't fit - - is because they were designed exclusively for the right foot. We sometimes miss our blessings and lose our dreams when we abandon them.  We walk away from our authentic selves by ensuing things that are not in line with our true calling.  To veritably enter into a time and space of change one must first distance oneself from the mundane, the madness, and being trapped by one's own insecurities. Wake up, find your magic and become conscious, become courageous, and squad with the right people.  Those who are in a better position than you are, and build on principles.  When we anchor with the wrong choices we find ourselves in a commonplace called mediocre.   There are miraculou

  Meet Marine Combat Instructor Trainer of Water Survival (MCITWS) Sgt. Alyssa Triplett. Black women were thought to not have a fighting chance at this opportunity because of the misconception that black women can't swim that well. Successfully, Alyssa Triplett has proven that to be fiction. She has become the first woman to graduate from the rigorous Scout Swimmer Training course at EWTGPAC near San Diego, CA, and the first black woman in history to train navy seals and marine recon soldiers. So, dreams do come true every day. If you really want to soar and make the world turn can't nothing or nobody stand in between you and your dream. It takes preparation, commitment, dedication, perseverance, and action. Abandon all the excuses and trust yourself. Faith without work is dead. Blaming others or claiming people won't help is an excuse that gets you nowhere. Don't allow passivity to rob you of your dream. When you bet on yourself you're making an investment

  Your self-esteem takes a hit when you're not inspired and have nothing to look forward to, but the same nothing that was accomplished yesterday. Get up and get with it. Loving yourself not only makes you stronger it makes you more joyful and to appreciate life more abundantly. დ A touch of love from, Sunshine & Rainbows

  Today, I thought back to when I allowed something or someone to cause me to be off-centered.  My thoughts led me back to my mother's teachings.  Love conquers all.  She taught me to meet others where they truly are that sometimes your positive energy might be their only beacon of hope.  The lesson of never ever allowing anything others say, do or think to affect your inner being is golden.  Once you truly master this concept you have mastered a great mark of excellence.  By virtue of, if they think long they think wrong, what they don't know they're going to create, and when they're jealous they're going to be malicious.   In the end, love others, but love yourself more.  Take nothing personally because greater is He that's in you.  Be encouraged by the blessings of life. Live free and take in the beauty around you, let the world astound you, and each time you look at a star know that there's someone not only here, but above who loves you.  With this being

I personally love bird watching. It's so relaxing and it gives such a deep unknown pleasure to my heart, mind, and soul.  There was this robin who used to perch on my fence every day.  I would watch him through my bedroom window.  He was the cutest thing.  He was a hoppin' and a boppin' and singing all day.  He would leave, come back, and then  to the birdbath for water.   He was a happy bird, and no matter how many other birds flew by flapping their wings he would never follow. He never got drunk on berries like so many other birds.  He was a free spirit.  When evening would come and roosting time was near he would rock all the way to the woods.  He was a pleasure to watch.  Then to my surprise one day he brought a friend. They played back and forth flying from the fence to the power line and back again.   As humans, some of us outgrow our flock yet always close to our hearts.  As we grow we must learn to lead and take responsibility for our own lives.  Level up and fly on

Evenings are your chance to forget the mistakes you made during the day.  So for the sweetest of dreams, I wish you an evening full of satisfaction and inspiration. დ A touch of love from, Sunshine & Rainbows

How do I define growth? Well, my definition of growth is being committed and motivated to exceed your current state. It’s learning to be inspired by one's own desires not by what is suggested or by trying to measure who you are by someone else’s measuring stick. It’s what you envision, aspire, and fervidly go after. Plant your dreams! I believe as you weather variances in unpredictable seasons you will experience growth. Consider not all flowers bloom year-round. The annual live for just one season. But the perennial is hardy and undemeaning they keep coming back. So, whatever your reality is don’t blame the season. Your current situation doesn’t have to dictate your final destination. Never allow any situation to cause you to sink or become discouraged because circumstances tried to put you in a box and tuck you away. Bare in mind flowers get their nutrients from the soil and they bloom. Just raise your ex-pec-ta-tions and come to be. დ A touch of love from, Sunshine

Sometimes the vast majority solely classify strength as a physical attribute, while neglecting to acknowledge how roundabout it tends to be. Know that strength is resilience. It's waking up and getting on your grind even when you don't have the desire to do so. It's falling down, time and time again, and getting right back up. It's having the fortitude to press on when the odds are against you. It’s having faith that "God has this". We have a strength that reveals itself during difficult times. Our strength is so great through God that we have the power to tread on serpents and scorpions. Have the eye of a tiger and the heart of a bear. Be the King of the jungle and keep lifting when you feel like you have no more to give. დ A touch of love from, Sunshine & Rainbows
