The Essence of Me

Unpainted toes, earth-tones, and rainbows
a momma’s stare, her coiled hair blows
in the wind…Progression in its most humble form…
She’s weathered the storm.
Emerging to witness her own essence
to some it doesn’t make sense
that she can see through rose colored glasses accompanied by incense.
And now that the smoke has cleared,
moments of peace, love, and laughter have appeared.
She prays, and close she stays, sustained and understands
sweet mists of grace followed by inspiration from above
She carries a heart filled with a “Big Love”
and a tall order to heal and grow…sometimes its slow
but the lessons from being “Open” during her return,
have been learned.
Creating enterprise in “good” faith…as it should be
While present in this blessed moment of her journey
This is the essence of Me(amya).

Celebrating Transformation

This past year has been more than enough to write about. I am simply going to ease back in to posting, changing, and rearranging this blog to fit my transformation and hopefully yours. I have a lot to share in regards to my personal growth, faith, projects, business, 50lb weightloss, and accidentally finding my biological father at the age of 33. Remember, it is ok that sometimes you have to sprawl before you can crawl back to sustainability. You have the power to "Stand up" everytime you fall, "Breathe", and "Go Get It" ~ The Floacist...

Evolution of You, Always Follow Your Spirit

I have let a few weeks pass since my last post. Partly because I am experiencing some new, profound, and life changing events in my personal life. I was waiting for the right words to write the words of my expressions.

I can start by saying that life is a little tricky and it wouldn't be worth it if we knew everything. It can be beautiful if we allow ourselves to evolve in every situation, no matter if it is good or bad. However, it is often very difficult to see the light at the end of a tunnel, especially when we have been travelling in the dark for so long. My motto for life's journey is to follow your spirit, it doesn't lie.

A lot of times, we are holding ourselves back by holding on to something that is obviously holding us back. In our own determination, we tend to persist that things, people, and situations belong in our lives, even though they have proven over and over that they do not belong because they are not good for our evolution. But yet we are afraid to let go and it doesn't matter how many times have we heard "When a door closes another opens" we don't believe it.

Who would have guessed that I would have found my real father at the age of 32 over the past few weeks. By following my spirit, I have been afforded this opportunity to open a new door for the purpose of evolution. I feel blessed, excited, and thankful for the opportunity.

Nothing ever happens by accident, whether we realize it or not. Evolving means to grow, develop, mature, and change. This comes with occasional surprises because evolving is ever changing. No, it is not always easy to open doors of opportunity while closing doors that are not to proceed in the next step of our evolution. In fact,we as human beings do not always understand why certain events have to occur that provoke pain, confusion, and unrest in our minds for a time. In my situation, new doors are opening, others are closing, questions are answered, I am evolving. I am grateful.

Be You...Conscious!

Don't Our Impoverished Inner Cities Deserve More?

I spent some time this past week visiting the Bishop Arts district in South Dallas. This is an predominately hispanic, low income area that has come together as a community to provide quality services and culture to the area being served. I trully enjoyed the experience, even the fact that there was a slight element of socioeconomic indifference and separation on one side of the district. After leaving, I drove into a predominately African American, low income area and as usual, I took note of the typical establishments which include more liquor stores that you can count, bright shiny new check cashing stores, and multiple beauty supply stores. I thought, I wonder what would change if more of us became conscious of the marketing that is targeting us as individuals. That's something to think about.

Make The Choice

Through quiet desperation and unfortunate events in your life, you will either rise to become a better, more productive person, or by choice, wallow in the defeat of those events.

You have a choice to let your subconscious mind take over your actions in a positive or negative way. You hold the key to your destiny and future no matter what plate you have been given.

With that being said, changing your mind to positive and productive thinking machine may in fact require an attitude adjustment and/or an adjustment to your environment.

When you make the choice to move forward and succeed, you may have to tell those around you not to take it personal. Some will understand, some won’t, but just remember that it is your future at stake, and the choices you make will determine your destiny.

Overcoming The Fear of Making Mistakes

If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not doing anything. Action is the only way to accomplish anything, and taking action will bring mistakes.
So often we try to hide our mistakes, and deny them even to ourselves. Instead, we should take pride in the fact that we’re out there trying. There is no better learning experience than making a mistake -- that is, if you’re willing to admit that you’ve done so. When you acknowledge your mistakes, you have a better understanding of how to proceed. After all, you have firsthand experience with what DOESN’T work. That’s valuable and useful knowledge.

All successful people constantly review their past actions and look for ways to improve on them. Imagine that -- they’re anxious to find mistakes even in situations that are generally considered to be successful. Does that tell you something about the value of mistakes as a learning experience?

As you continue to take action, and to learn from the results of those actions, you develop a working knowledge of how to be effective. With this knowledge you can become whatever you want to be.
