Affirmation Friday – Gratitude is the Attitude!

_DSC0511 This week marks a special week as I celebrated my 50th Birthday. At first I was going to go low-key until my momma called late last week and convinced me otherwise. In her wisdom she said it’s a big one, go have fun. Wise words. And so, here I am….celebrating life. I want to give out a very, very, big shout out to all of you who have sent their best wishes, love, kind words and celebrations with cake. You all are the reason I do what I do and I am truly blessed for the support you have bestowed upon me through and through. I’m looking forward to a terrific next-halve of my life adventure. Whose’s coming with me boo?

Wednesday Spiritual Journal Assignment – Healing to Revelation

For today’s spiritual assignment we revisit our Monday Meditation on the transformation experience to ask God the simple question, “What am I to learn from this situation?”

Monday Meditative Thought – Healing to Revelation

This week we focus on one of the definitions of humility which is to be teachable.

Sometimes through sickness, heartache, and pain, true transformation happens. In my experience, some of my greatest revelations have appeared to me when I was experiencing some type of ‘dis-ease.’ The times I laid in bed, body feeling weak, with a slight fever, I could have asked, “God why me?” But I have learned to ask, “What is it you want me to learn from this experience?” From that point, other questions can be asked, “What’s to be revealed during this time?” What am I willing to release during this experience? As Earnest Holmes has written, “There is nothing to heal, only to reveal.” Our approach to our challenges is key; if we are willing and open to new Ah-Hah moments to take place, they will. My mother always says, “What doesn’t kill us make us stronger.” That is only true if we invite revelations through our healings. And then we can truly know the meaning of “nothing to heal only to insight to be revealed.”

Paying Respect to Dr. Maya Angelou

Today, we lost a national treasure, acclaimed poet, historian, author, actress, playwright, civil rights activist, director, polyglot, producer and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. I pay respect to my Spiritual Teachers, Dr. Maya Angelou. Thank you, Thank you, for all you have given us, your words, wisdom and the inspiration for growth and enlightenment. You live on in my heart.

My favorite Maya Quotes:

“If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.”

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”.

While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else and everything else are also God’s creation”.

We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.

When you know better, you do better.

I often call Fit Physique the training of the future. It’s a perfect blend of body and mind manifested as freedom of motion and is drawn from traditional strength training, dancer’s conditioning and Pilates inspired movements with the goal of long lean toned body. No bulky muscles. Extra stretching geared for perfect posture and you’ll leave feeling like a work of art! You’ll love it.
