A Life Giving Moment: Only 1—You! [Perception Series Pt. 3]

“There is a whole lot of them and only one you!”—Khalilah Liptrot

As I wrestled within my call to pastor, her words pierced my consciousness and shattered my glass house of excuses—only one you.  Sojourners, as you sift through your dreams and ideas please save yourself some time, energy, and emotional capital. The calling to bring forth your unborn potential is not abated because others with similar interests and gifts are choosing to give birth to themselves unapologetically. There are over 7 billion people on this planet. If every human being decided to write a book and you decided to silence your own desire to write because so many others are writing, your choice to dishonor your Soul’s intent would create a void in both literary history and human consciousness.

Only you can author the works nestled with you. Only you can preach the sermons calling out to you. Only you can design the office buildings and homes within your imagination. Only you can write those lyrics. Only you can choreograph those movements. Only you can create, structure, and build your company from the ground up. Only you can raise your children. Only you can do your work. And fortunately with 7 billion other people around, you will not do it alone!



Declare it with me: I AM A [insert your stuff here] and I AM DOING IT…REGARDLES!!!

Ok so I kind of whispered the whole pastor thing y’all pray for me! LOL

A Life Giving Moment: Paused On Purpose [Perception Series Pt. 2]

6/17/2014

0 Comments

 
A pause does not indicate an end nor is it necessarily a conclusion of progress and forward movement. A pause in progression is an opportunity for you to assess, adjust, and (re)align with what is forthcoming.

Learn to embrace the pause as you do a semicolon, comma, ellipsis, and period. These grammatical distinctions are not correlated with finality exclusively. These literary tools are employed to clarify text, to communicate, and to ensure that the intended message flows coherently. Embrace the pause—your /life/flow depends on it!

A Life Giving Moment: Open For Reset [Perception Series Pt. 1]

6/16/2014

I walked into a store and before leaving I visited the book section. It is my custom as a book lover to browse, to touch, and to linger with books. I love books. I love the words and the worlds they contain. I love reading. I approached one of my favorite sections only to discover disarray. The shelves were nearly empty and the remnants of books that remained were not stocked neatly—the books were all out of sorts. I approached with all of this love for books and I exclaimed, “Oh no it’s empty!!!” I walked closer and I was greeted by a piece of paper taped to my favorite section and the note read: “LEAVE OPEN FOR RESET.” I looked around at other shelves and this note appeared there as well… (KLB Journal Entry 06.09.2014)

The book section in this store is shifting in preparation for a new set up and the arrival of new reading materials. A part of this process requires workers to perform an inventory of the merchandise and once all books are accounted for workers are then instructed to reduce the price to increase sales, to donate large unsold quantities to discount stores, and to keep copies but in a new area. Some items are marked “do not inventory” because their continued presence is not contingent upon the current inventory criteria—these items are non-negotiable (sit with that).

The shelves were not empty as I first perceived. The shelves were OPEN. The difference between these two realities, open and empty, is perspective. Empty suggests that the previous state represents the best of all possibilities and therefore all energy is exhausted and an end is reached. Empty suggests finality. Open suggests the previous circumstance is no more but alas a new dawn waits.  Open suggests resources are coming. Open suggests that possibilities are infinite.  

Sojourner, an open mind, an open heart, and an open existence is the precursor to a new set up that will best display the new you.

Life Giving Spirit,

I honor what was even as I endure the demolition process that prepares me for all that is to come. I release [insert yourself and your stuff here]. I receive with a fresh perspective and increased gratitude all that remains a non-negotiable part of my journey including [insert yourself and your stuff here]. I make room. I am open. I am ready.

With a willing and courageous spirit I pray,

 Amen
