Good morning and a wonderful Soulful Sunday to you❤️. I finished my morning gratitude meditation and i am relaxing mentally, emotionally and physically today…. Turning everything over to the Most High cause I don’t have the energy for it all😊.
It will be me, this king size, snacks and movies…..
Have a beautiful Soulful Sunday and remember, be good to yourself and to those you meet along the way ❤️💋

The things we think Thursday thoughts…

When did those “I’m better than you” thoughts start for us as humans?

I mean, one minute we were chillin’, watching the sun rise and set, hunting, gathering, living, eating, making love, raising children, telling stories, sharing music, dancing around fires, and simply existing…then somewhere along the way, somebody looked at the person in the next house, hut, village, or on the other side of a river or mountain and decided, “I am better than you. So you don’t matter.”

When did feeling better than, turn into permission?
Permission to conquer. Permission to enslave. Permission to steal land. Permission to erase cultures. Permission to imprison, segregate, persecute, and kill.

Why and when did we decide who mattered more? I often wonder what happened to us, humanity as a whole.

I guess the bigger question is: Were we always like this?

Happy Soulful Sunday, my loves…. Today’s motto is :

“Protect your peace, honor your journey, and don’t apologize for becoming the person you were always meant to be.”

Life can test you, people may not get you, and sometimes your own path won’t make sense, but keep going.🌻 Rest when you need to, laugh loudly and love deeply. Let go of what no longer serves you and above all, remember: you are still becoming.

Have a lazy day and remember, be good to yourself and to those you meet along the way ❤️💋

So for the last two days my brain has been quiet…not a character in sight👀.
I sat down, closed my eyes and walked the desolate wasteland of my mind trying to figure out where the f( everyone has gone. All the homes, neighborhoods, bars, caves and crevices were oddly and eerily quiet. Where is everybody? i hate when its this quiet cause it’s never turns out to be a good thing😳.

Come on over and get a glimpse into story time

I can be in the middle of doing something like washing dishes, singing a tune, pondering the mysteries of the Universe (particularly black holes), when suddenly, an unknown voice steps up to my mental microphone and begins talking inside my head.
