Conquering the Critical Thinker in You

"When we speak from the ego, we will call up the ego in others. When we speak from the Holy Spirit we will call up their love." ~ Marianne Williamson, from her best-selling book, A Return to Love

Constant ridicule and criticism is a fatal enemy to love. It suffocates the life out of a relationship, preventing it from blossoming and reaching its full potential. It poisons the emotional trust in a relationship that love needs in order to grow. When you constantly criticize, judge or condemn yourself or another, mentally or verbally, you are not aligning with the higher consciousness of divine mind, the Spirit Self. Critical, judgmental, condemning thoughts and words are born and expressed from the ego-self, not from the heart where the Holy Spirit resides and divine love abides.

Our thoughts and words have the power to either build or destroy. When we consistently hold thoughts or speak words that are heavy latent with negative energy attached, as is the case with criticism, they gain a momentum that is hard to break. When the momentum of such negative chain of thoughts is not caught and stopped early on it develops into an unconscious, habitual, primary pattern of thinking. Such negative thoughts and words not only tear down the self-esteem of the person constantly subjected to it, over time it also tears down the foundation of the entire relationship. It prevents the ability for a genuine affinity and authentic bond to be developed. Criticism does not promote togetherness; it encourages separation. 

It also negatively affects and infects your perception of people and situations in your life or that show up on your life path. When you are looking at life circumstances, and the people involved in them, through the tainted lens of the critical thinking mind your ability to clearly see the truth of a situation is severely hindered.

More importantly, your ability to see the light and love in another is blocked by the darkness of the ego projection that fuels the critical thinking inner voice. It is equally important to know that everything the critical inner voice has to say to you is a lie. Since this inner voice is aligned with ego its opinions are based on false perceptions that are relative unlike Truth that comes from the Holy Spirit which is absolute.  

When you persistently criticize and judge another you send them the message that they are not worthy or deserving of love. You are in essence saying to them, "I refuse to accept you as you are. The way God created you is not good enough for me and I am unwilling to love you until you conform to my perception of who you should be. Until you become a version of yourself that is more appealing to my ego and behave in a manner my ego finds more acceptable, I reject you and deny you the blessing of my love."

Yet, who are we to ever say this, or even think such thoughts as this, toward another when God created us all in His image and likeness, which is perfect love. To suggest, through criticism and judgment, that God's divine design of yourself or another is flawed is both spiritual arrogance and spiritual ignorance. How can any of us assume ourselves empowered with the right to deny another the worthiness of love God has already approved us worthy of from the moment of our divine creation. 

If God is love and formed us in His own image and likeness, which is also love, how can we ever be unworthy of that which we already are? Love is the essence of our innate being. We are worthy of love because, as children of God, we are love in physical expression. 

When we learn to live and interact in our relationships, with self and others, centered in this higher consciousness of alignment, where our True Self, that is love resides, our expression of our own light comes forth. In doing so, we are then able to recognize, acknowledge and accept the God-light of love in others. It is from this spiritual perspective of enlightenment that we are able to realize our divine oneness with all humanity; rather than seeing ourselves and others through the darkness of the critical, judgmental, condemning ego perspective. 

When we think and speak from the ego projected self we awaken the ego in others. However, when we align our thoughts and words with the higher consciousness of divine mind we radiate the light and love in ourselves and call forth the same in others to be mirrored back to us. So get rid of your Stinkin' Thinkin' by asking God to heal the critical mind in you. Begin "thinking a new thought" today and be transformed by the renewing of your critical thinking mind.

Until next time...I surround you in Love & Light!

Consciously Creating Your Day and Truly Living it

"This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it" 

~ Psalm 118:24

If you had just discovered that today was the last day of your life how would you choose to live it out? Who or what kind of people would you choose to be around to spend the last few precious hours of your life with? What kind of thoughts would you keep? What memories would you choose to focus on in your final hours? What experiences from your past would you want to recall in your mind to hold on to that impacted your life the most?

Would you waste the last twenty four hours of life dwelling on all the negative things from your past? Or would you choose to use your final hours more wisely by resolving to clean your emotional house through forgiveness of all ills of the past and opening your heart to fully experience and express love again one last time?

Well, why wait until the last day of your life to do all the above. Why continue going through your day being pushed, pulled, reacting to and ingesting whatever is thrown at you from your external environment? This doesn't have to be your reality anymore. You have the power within you now to consciously create the kind of day you desire to experience. And it all starts by consciously choosing what you want to see, experience and feel about your day regardless of what happens around you or what anyone says or does to you.

Another way to set your best day in motion and truly living it is by controlling what goes into your consciousness from the first moment the day starts. For example, instead of turning on the tv or radio before you even brush your teeth or have your coffee, try taking a few minutes after waking up to sit still, be quiet and get centered. Even the holy scriptures tells us in Isaiah 30:15, "In quietness and in hope shall be your strength".

So tomorrow when you wake up, try being still for a few minutes. Listen to the small voice of your spirit whispering words of wisdom to your soul. Connect with the vibration of love in your heart center. Focus on the rhythm of each breath you take. As you inhale and exhale allow the feeling of gratitude to permeate your entire body. Embrace the realization that you are experiencing the presence and power of God in each breath of life you breathe. Close your physical eyes and consciously visualize how you want your day to unfold by first seeing it unfold as you desire through your minds eye. Then release that vision and the desired outcome of your day to the universe. Go on about your day trusting in the divine process to work out all the details in a perfect way.

Why continue coming home at the end of the day frustrated by people and things outside of you. Choose to no longer allow things outside of you, and your thoughts about how you feel about what's happening outside of you, to dictate whether your day is good or bad. Decide for yourself how you wanna feel about your day by deciding the kind of day you want to have from the moment the day begins.

 After all, every creation starts as a thought visualized in the mind before manifesting in the physical.  Yet, for those who may think this sounds like a bunch of metaphysical mumble jumbo. Remember, the highest creation ever manifested began as a thought in the divine mind of God. That  most powerful divine thought I'm referring to was manifested in the physical expression as the human race, which includes you and me.

With that said, I invite and encourage you to take a listen to the short video excerpt attached below of an online seminar by spiritual enlightenment teacher and author,  JZ Knight, for more insight on, Consciously Creating your Day and Truly Living it. Then go create the kind of day that will bring the most peace, love, joy, honor and fulfillment to yourself and those around you. While your at it, embrace the goodness of the day as if it was the last day of your life. See it...believe it...achieve it!




Until next time...I surround you in Love & Light! So remember to keep your love light on.

Dare to Stretch Your Faith: A 40 Day Challenge That Will Transform Your Life

Although I have many things in my life for which I deeply appreciate and feel grateful for, I have to admit that I'm still not yet where I'd like to be. Nor do I feel I'm expressing at the level of all that I know I have the potential to become. Truth is, no matter how much we accomplish or how much older we get, as long as we are still alive and on the journey of  this human experience there is always room for growth. There is always more we can learn to help us evolve to the next level of spiritual awareness to become a better version of ourselves.

There is always room for us to learn how to love more deeply and unconditionally. We can always learn how to be more compassionate and express more patience with ourselves and others. There is always room to over come some fear we're secretly struggling with that's blocking us from achieving a goal, realizing a dream or living at the level of spiritual awareness we would like to be at. We can always learn how to experiencing a greater level of joy and happiness in our lives. And no matter how spiritual we may consider ourselves to be, there is always room to stretch our faith a little bit more. I know this all rings true for me. If any of this sounds like you too then this Inspirational Love Note is written just for you. 

Attached below is prayer of faith from one of my favorite books in my personal library, Until Today! Daily Devotions for Spiritual Growth and Peace of Mind, by Bestselling Author, Inspirational Speaker, New Thought Spiritual Teacher and TV Personality, Iyanla Vanzant. I have been using this prayer for the few days during my daily prayer and meditation time and have already seen results in my life. In addition, I have been led in my spirit to take a challenge of  faith by continuing to say this prayer for the next 40 days and see how God proves Himself by helping me grow in my faith and transform my life from the inside out.

I invite you join me on this journey to greater faith and life transforming experience by committing to take this 40 day faith challenge as well. It's easy! And it only takes about 5 minutes of your time every morning and every night with potential results that I'm sure will prove to be well worth your time and effort.

Just use the prayer I've shared with you below, by Iyanla Vanzant, and say it every morning upon awaking and every night before retiring to bed for the next 40 days. Beware however, this prayer is a very powerfully written prayer. And as with any prayer for transformation in your life, if you say it with conviction believing in your heart to see results, things may suddenly appear to go wrong in your life circumstances. If this should happen, don't stop doing the prayer.

In fact, that is the moment you should dig your heels in deeper and continue the prayer with even greater conviction of heart because that is sign it is working. Whenever begin doing spiritual work that stretches us beyond our comfort zones and moves us to a new level of personal growth and development, there is often the appearance of chaos just before the new order sets it. Another way of  conveying this concept is the old saying, it's always the darkest just before the dawn.

So hang in there because should you take this challenge it's important that you stay committed and not break the 40 Day chain of thought, as it takes 40 days for the spiritual transformation to be completed. And there are various ways that transformation may take form in your life. It may be a mental transformation where you begin change your perception about a person or situation in your life for the better. Or an emotional transformation compelling you to forgive something or someone where your unforgiveness has been keeping you blocked or holding you back from receiving your own blessings and greater good.

It may also come in the form of a transformation in a long standing health situation you've been praying to see turned around. Or a relationship transformation you've desired to see mended and have harmony between you and the other person involved restored. Then of coarse it may be a physical transformation in the form of a job you've been in need of suddenly manifesting. Or a breakthrough with a goal or dream you've been waiting to see materialize finally start to move forward showing signs of success. My point is, there is a myriad of ways God can prove Himself and transform your life through your commitment to taking this 40 Day challenge to stretch your faith.

Remember, when you take one step toward God, He will take two steps toward you. So consider your commitment to taking this 40 Day Faith Challenge one very big step toward God on your behalf.

I'm excited to take this challenge with you. I'm also looking forward to hearing from you and sharing with you all the wonderful life transforming changes that I'm expecting to see unfold in my life and yours as we take the next 40 days to stretch our faith together. You can share your comments and feedback on the transformations that begin to occur in your life as a result of taking this challenge either here on my blog or in my Inspirational Poems & Love Notes group page on FaceBook if you're already signed up as a member there. Don't forget, as with anything in life, it only works if you work it.

Prayer of Faith:

"I now call the activity of the Holy Spirit into every cell, every tissue, every organ of my being. I invite the Holy Spirit to lovingly transform every energy, every belief, every idea, every understanding, every decision, every expectation, every judgment, every motivation and every behavior, bringing them into alignment with the perfect will of God, so that I may take the next step toward the divine plan for my life.

A Date with Destiny: Celebrating the Ten Year Anniversary of Meeting My True Love

February has always been my favorite month of the year. One reason is because it's my birthday month. But a much bigger reason is because it's the month of  Love. This year I  have something new to add to those wonderful reasons to for February being my favorite month.

Ten years ago on this day February 10, 2003, I had a "Date with Destiny" and met a handsome Prince with whom I had shared a kindred spirit connection and friendship unlike any other I've ever experienced before. At that very moment I  knew something very special and divine had just occured in my life because I felt and heard it clearly from my inner voice of Spirit/Wisdom that Never lies or leads me wrong.
Three months later we went on our first offical date to a Floetry Concert and that was the night I fell deeply in love with this amazing man that inspired me creatively and reminded me of a beautiful reflection of myself expressed in the form of mascline energy.

Fast forward to today, February 10,2013 after a 7 year unexpected seperated due to unforseen circumstances then being, unexpectedly once again divinely guided back into my life. We were happily reunited, our love and original kindred spirit connection was reignited and through all the trials and tribulations we had to face and overcome we're still here...still standing...still in love with each other and our beautiful most cherished blessing, our 8 month old baby girl.

So in celebration and honor of that fate-filled day our ten year anniversary of our Divine meeting of each other, we return to our genesis in spiritual fellowship through the church service at our place of worship, Hillside Chapel & Truth Center. And to our surprise yet again, as only Spirit (God) would have it, the topic of today's message in this mornings service was, "Surviving Love".  After everything we've been through we can certainly say we are survivors of love. Yet, what stood out to me most from our church's guest speaker, Bishop Carlton Pearson, that gave today's lesson in spiritual living, was quote he shared on true love that I'd also like to share with you. It read, "Love is giving someone the ability to destroy you emotionally and trusting them not to." How profoundly true that statement is.

So in light of that and in honor of the very special day of celebrating the ten year anniversary of meeting my "True Love". I dedicate this song by, the greatest balladeer of our generation, Luther Vandross and this Inspirational Love Note, to the one who inspired me to love again with my whole heart from the day we met and continues to do so some ten years later today. Carlton (a.k.a Mello Melanin), thank you for being my muse. In short, you are my polarity...a beautiful divine reflection of the divinity in me...the masculine expression of my feminine energy that balances me and together we become a perfect unique expression of Spirit as WE. I will always cherish the day we met and remember "The Night I Fell in Love". Happy D-Day My Love (Our Date with Destiny Day).

Until Next time...I surround you in Love & Light!

A Christmas Prayer

Let us give thanks oh Lord,

a special thanks to you

Let the bread we break bear testament

that your undying love for us is true

Let us give thanks oh Lord,

for the abundance on this day we share

Let our hearts be fountains

of your love and may we spread

joy everywhere

Often the worldly meaning of Christmas

makes us forget to celebrate in your name

So let us give special thanks oh Lord,

for this day on whence you came

The Prospering Power of God in Action

Here's a testimony and demonstration of God's power, to heal AND prosper at the same time, that's absolutely too awesome for me not to share. I have not written and posted any Inspirational Love Notes until recently because I've been experiencing a health challenge with my eyesight for the last month. It has been extremely scary to say the least. I woke up one morning and everything was hazy as if I was looking through a very dense fog. Even scarier, I was home alone with my six month old baby girl when these symptoms first occurred. I could barely see her or how to care for her as my eyesight got worse throughout the day.

Over the course of the three weeks that followed, I woke up to find these symptoms continually progressing for the worst. Even with my glasses on I was unable to see clearly how to perform my normal daily activities like driving, caring for my baby girl Khaliah, cooking or even read anything. I immediately began taking the situation to God in prayer. More specifically, I prayed giving thanks to God in advance for the symptoms being reversed and my eyesight fully healed and restored to optimal health.

After seeing several doctors, of which none could give me a definitive answer to the problem, I was finally referred to an eye retina specialist.  He saw inflammation in my eye cells that left untreated would've resulted in permanent damage to my eyesight. So my family and I continued to pray. In addition, I also continued to stand on the scripture of Jesus healing the blind man, in Mark 8:22, and saw God doing the same for me.
Here's were God began to prove Himself through me by demonstrating His awesome, unfailing power to do what man cannot.

First Praise Report: Two of the first three doctors I saw waived the fees for their services. So all the examinations and test they ran for my eyes while trying to find the problem was done at no charge to me.

Second Praise Report: When I went to my follow up appointment with the retina specialist yesterday, ALL of my test results for the various serious diseases they were testing me for, like Lupus, were negative. The inflammation in my eye cells he saw a few weeks ago is almost completely healed and reversing itself. My vision has made such an impressive improvement and rapid response to the eye drop medicine he gave me in such a miraculously short period of time, that even the doctor himself was amazed.

He told me he could not explain what caused the problem. Even more puzzling to him, was that he could not explain how or why my eyes have shown such remarkable healing progress, especially in the short time frame of two weeks ago when he first saw me and prescribed me the eye drop medicine. In fact, he was so moved by my demonstrated faith in God that he took my chart back and waived his fee for my visit as well before I left.

Now that’s the Prospering Power of God in Action!

Awakening the Joy-Full Happiness in You

Pondering the Questions

Recently during my daily ritual to begin my day in communion with God, I asked Spirit two important questions. First, to clarify for me the difference between being happy and having joy. Second, I asked Spirit to reveal to me the things in my life that make me genuinely happy and brings me true joy. As I began pondering these questions during my morning meditation time, I heard the following responses from my inner voice of the Super conscious or Higher-Self, where infinite wisdom within us resides.

Discovering the Answers

Once I presented my questions to Infinite Holy Spirit (God), the answers came to me effortlessly. The first thing I heard in regard to my question on the difference between happiness and joy, is that you can experience happiness and still not have joy. Yet, you cannot have true joy without also experiencing with it genuine happiness. The difference is that happiness is temporary. It is motivated by an outer source that usually comes as fleeting moments of feeling good in direct response to a particular situation or action of or in relationship with another person. However, once the situation changes, the relationship is over and/or the person is no longer a part of your life, all those wonderful feelings of happiness suddenly disappear as well like blowing kisses in the wind.

In contrast, true joy is sustaining. It is unaffected by the inconsistency of actions and behaviors of another person or the constant changes of outer circumstances. This is because unlike happiness, joy is not dependent upon or evoked by any source outside of us. To the contrary, the source of true joy comes from within the heart & soul of every person respectively. It is found in the things that give us deep inner fulfillment. It is expressed through the unique things we individually love to do that is our creative self-expression (i.e. God's individualized expression through you...as you).

Things that bring me joy

For example, some of the things that bring me true joy and deep inner fulfillment are, cooking, creative writing (i.e using my talent for write poetry and articles such as this), music, and being a new mommy, just to name a few.

I love to cook rather I'm single or in a relationship. I'm very focused when I'm cooking. I find it very therapeutic and I pour my heart & love into every meal I prepare. The feeling it gives me is like an artist painting a beautiful masterpiece on a canvas. It is a form of creative expression for me. I enjoy sharing my cooking with others. Yet I find equal pleasure in eating my cooking if I have no one around to share it with just the same.

The joy and inner fulfillment I get from writing is also a form of creative self-expression for me that I love sharing with other. Writing gives me a deep sense of clarity and emotional freedom. In between each poetic word, sentence and verse eloquently strung together to form a complete thought as a profound message or idea, is the freedom to be my authentic self.

More simply put...writing purifies me. It lifts me up into the realms of the higher consciousness. It allows me to cleanse all the impurities picked up along my human experience and become centered in Spirit. I enjoy most using my gift of creative writing to help others find that same inner awareness which is why I created this Inspirational Love Notes blog.

As for music, I find immense joy from listening to various genres of it. Like my writing, I also enjoy inspiring others through music. I truly believe in the healing power and universal language of love with which we can communicate through music. Hence, the reason for my career background over the last decade in radio and why I created my own radio show Love Notes, in the process of conversion to a podcast show.

When it comes to being a new mommy, I absolutely enjoy my baby girl Khaliah. In fact, I enjoy watching her grow and helping with her development each day so much that even though I'm exhausted at the end of the day I still find it all worth while. I go to sleep each night completely taxed of my energy. Yet I feel peaceful and fulfilled from knowing my efforts made a major impact on her life. Going to bed each night knowing that spending quality time teaching her, playing with her, loving on her, reveling in the beauty and miracle of her, is having a major influence on the person she becomes, is a total mind blowing joy-filled blessing within itself.

The Revelation and Miracle

In closing, while meditating on the difference between joy and happiness I was compelled to take a closer look at the word, "Enjoy". In doing so I began to see the break down of this word in a different way. I began to see it as, "In-Joy". In other words, to say, I enjoy something, is really saying I receive or have, "Inner-Joy" when engaging in that particular activity. Moreover, true joy is inner joy...joy that comes from within leaving lasting feelings of deep inner fulfillment.

The miracle is that when you engage in the things that bring inner joy you also discover genuine happiness along with it. This is because the source of this kind of happiness comes only from within your own heart and soul, where our true power resides rather than an outer situation, person or circumstance. Ironically, by spending more time engaging only in those things or spending time with only the persons that bring you genuine inner joy, and less time on the things or with people who don't, you miraculously begin to have more time available to do those things.

Suddenly increased money begins to attract to you to invest in or support your desire to continue doing those joy-filled activities. Strangely, we find ourselves having more energy to contribute to spending quality time with the people with which we have a genuine affinity or doing those activities that bring us joy. Every area of our lives become infected by the positive changes and new attitude living a joy-filled life brings us. Instead of being affected by the negative energy and feelings of depression that result from chasing happiness through validation of sources in the world outside ourselves.

This is what Jesus meant in John 15:11 when he said, "I have spoken these things to you that MY JOY may be IN YOU and that YOUR JOY may be FULL." (i.e. Joy that is Complete).

With that said, I leave you with this video, that's both a classic and timeless 1986 song by R&B Artist, Anita Baker, as the perfect compliment to the message of this article. Listen to it not from the perspective of a romantic relationship love song. Instead, try listening to it in terms of your immensely profound love for the things you genuinely enjoy doing or the person (s) you enjoy spending time with (including yourself). Reflect on the deep inner feelings of "full-fillment" you receive from spending time with those people or activities as you listen to the hypnotic soulful voice of Anita Baker sing, "You Bring Me Joy." Then go do something that really awakens the Joy-Full Happiness in you.



Until next time, I surround you in Love & Light...

Don't Let Go

Whatever happens don't let go of God's hand...

No matter how it looks or feels

keep trusting in the Master Plan...

When it seems impossible for you to do,

know that the Most High can

Some say seeing is believing

I say, don't believe everything you see

No matter what the human condition may be...

Proclaim God as your entire reality

Cause giving up is not an option

and failure is not your destiny

Through sickness and health...

poverty and wealth

The Most High does not lie

An awesome provider he promised to be

And I've never seen the day he failed

to do so perfectly

Though you shall walk through the fire,

you shall not be burned...

Where wisdom is needed,

he gives a spirit to discern...

To the broken hearted,

you shall see new love return...

For His Truth we seek,

...His living water we yearn

Never give up...Never give in...

Be non-resistant as a river,

yet spontaneous as the wind...

Strong as an oak tree,

yet know when to bend

Look adversity square in the face,

and be not afraid...

For you are a child of the Most High God

...and of His image and likeness you're

magnificently made

So keep on livin and givin'

life your very best shot

Then after you're done givin' all you've got,

and absolutely sure you've done all you can...

Be still...just stand

And whatever happens...don't let go of God's hand.

Connecting the Dots: Final Thoughts for December and 2011

Congratulations! If you're reading this final Inspirational Love Note from me it means you made it along with the rest of us to the end of this year. It means despite whatever challenges, obstacles, or difficult circumstance that may have come up in your life throughout the year, you overcame them successfully. You made it to the finish line still standing...still breathing...stilling a live.

Therefore, even if the 2011 didn't unfold as you had envisioned this time last year or planned, you still have reason to celebrate tonight. Why? Because the despite all that didn't go your way this year the most important thing that did work out in your favor is that fact that you made it to the end of this year. Therefore, you are blessed and that in and of itself is worthy of celebrating tonight as we welcome in the new year.

Before we bring this year to a final close I'd like to take a moment to reflect back to the beginning and connect the dots of all the messages I've shared with you through my Inspirational Love Notes throughout the year. In case you're just coming aboard as a new follower. I began using my gift of creative writing through this blog website in January of this year to encourage and enlighten others by publishing my poetry and original articles here each month to share the knowledge and use of the 12 spiritual powers within all of us.

Let's look back and review those 12 spiritual powers so that you can remember them and take them with you into the new year to continue to use a productive way and see your life expand in a positive way and your most long awaited dreams come true.

In January of this year I introduced you to the 1st spiritual faculty which is Faith. So begin 2012 standing on your faith that this will be the best year of your life thus far with even better still to come. Go in February with an open heart because it the month that represents the 2nd spiritual faculty, Love. Know that with faith and love all things are truly possible. And no matter how much the odds appear to be stacking up against you never give up having faith in love because God is love and He promises to never ever give up on you.

With the power of your faith and and open heart filled with love enter March 2012 using 3rd spiritual faculty, Strength, which the month of March represents. Use the power of your faith and love to tap into your inner strength that will help overcome any obstacles and challenges that may arise along the path of your new year. Move through those challenges with perseverance and fortitude knowing that God promises to be with you in and through all things.

In April remember to get in touch with the 4th spiritual faculty of Wisdom. As you begin your spring cleaning take a few minutes each day to also get centered in Spirit and ask for the guidance, infinite intelligence and wisdom of the Most High to come forth in your consciousness and show you the divine right path and steps to take in your life that will lead you to right decisions concerning every area of your life. Trust me, you'll be surprised what God reveals to you that will change the coarse of your life for the better.

Remember that May represents the 5th spiritual faculty, Power. So by the time you reach the end of the first quarter of 2012, if you continue making good use of these spiritual faculties, you should be moving in stride. Use your inner/spiritual power constructively by taking control of your life and doing what you can do to the best of your ability and leave what you cannot do for God to work out on your behalf. Then go into June ending the first half of the year using the spiritual faculty represented by that month which is Imagination. Spend some time each day do as children do by putting the power of your imagination to use to visualize the life you desire to experience in vivid detail and color. Then release that vision to the Universe to unfold for you in the divine time and perfect way.

As we moved in the 2nd half of 2011 I continued publishing Inspirational Love Notes that explained the last six of the twelve spiritual faculties. So let's now review them beginning with July which represents the 7th spiritual faculty, Understanding. Sometimes life can be very confusing and situations can arise on our paths that leave us in a full state of indecision feeling completely perplexed.

Here is where the importance of this spiritual faculty come into play. In is in those moments in life that we need most to turn within and ask God to reveal to us the power of spiritual understanding. By doing so we can begin to see things more clearly and make better decisions without fear because we feel the confidence of that decision begin led by the wisdom of spirit and not our own intellect, judgment or limited perspective of the situation at hand. Instead, we can following the instructions in the book of proverbs that warns us to lean not on our own understanding but to turn inward to God for guidance and he will direct us and show us the lightened path.

August represents the 8th spiritual faculty, Will which simply means to pray and ask God to His perfect will for your life and allow His will to have dominion over our personal will. If you are born in the month of September you are born under the 9th spiritual faculty represented by this month which is Order. With order being the first law of the universe, use this spiritual faculty to spend time to bring order into your thoughts and your body by fasting from unhealthy foods and beliefs about your life that create toxins in your mind and body. Another good use of this faculty is to rid your physical space of clutter and bring order to your home, office and even your car. You'll be surprised how an orderly physical and mental environment allows you to see more clearly, think and make decisions faster and manifest things you desire in your life with more effective results.

This brings us to the final quarter of the year where October represents the 10th spiritual faculty, Zeal, which means to move through life with enthusiasm. November represents the 11th spiritual faculty, Renunciation, which is a time to release and let go of any persons, idea's, beliefs, relationships, or anything else that may have served a purpose for you in the past but is no longer supporting your personal and spiritual growth. Give thanks for the time it served you good then kindly surrender it back God with love and deep gratitude.

Then move forward in the final chapter of the year where December represents Life. Use the power of this spiritual faculty to close out the month and year remembering the scripture that says Jesus came that we may have life and have it more abundantly. Put special emphasis on the last part of that scripture, "more abundantly" and prepare to move forward into the new year knowing that no matter how this current year ended the very best God has in store for you is not behind you but in front you still yet to come.

I hope my sharing these 12 spiritual powers with you along with the messages of my Inspirational Love Notes have been enlightening, encouraging. I pray that you feel the love I have poured into each article and poem published here throughout the year. Lastly, I pray that you find the knowledge and awareness of these 12 spiritual power faculties as helpful tools you will begin to put into practice throughout the coming year 2012 and beyond to live full of greater abundance and more positive experiences and effective results. I wish you a safe and joy-filled 2012 New Year celebration.

Until next...I behold the divinity of Christ in you...and surround you in light and Love.

October: The Month of Zeal

"I fairly sizzle with zeal and enthusiasm and spring forth with a mighty faith to do the things that ought to be done by me. "
~ Charles Fillmore

Welcome to the month of October! We have successfully made it to the last quarter of the year. We have also transitioned from Summer to Fall in the last two weeks which is known as the Harvest Season. However, this is not the time to slow down, to the contrary, the Harvest Season is a time of working harder.

For example, if you pay close attention and take note from nature you will notice that during this time of year, the harvest season, the squirrels begin hunting for nuts at this time of year and store their surplus of food in the earth to prepare for winter.

Thus, this is what we should be doing at this time of the year as well. Like the squirrels we too would be wise to use this time of year for gathering, sowing and working harder to put aside our surplus of good as well, rather it be stocking up on spiritual food, money, etc. My point is, like nature, we too should be using this time of year to work harder and stock up on the things we'll need to prepare for winter and we should do this using the spiritual power of Zeal.

Continuing, as I have done all year, to share with you each month the one of the twelve spiritual faculties within us all, October is the 10th of the 12 spiritual power faculties, which is Zeal. The disciple of Jesus that represents this spiritual faculty is Simon. The physical location of the body where this spiritual power faculty radiates its energy from is the top of the spinal column at the base of the neck. This energy center vibrates to the color orange.

When we activate or use the power of zeal we feel motivated to move forward, forge ahead, proceed with enthusiasm, excitement and fortitude. At my church home, Hillside International Chapel & Truth Center, Inc, we have an monthly publication called, Daily Thoughts From The Hill.

In the opening statement for this months publication of this inspirational booklet, my pastor, Bishop Dr. Barbara Lewis King wrote, "Whenever we get an idea, Zeal is the power that urges us on. It is that burning desire that moves us to do something. Zeal is the key to the Christ consciousness. It tunes us in with the rhythm and harmony of the universe. It lifts us out of the ordinary. Without zeal, we do not have the zest for living. Without zeal, stagnation and death would prevail."

With that being said, the theme for my Inspirational Love Notes that I'll be sharing with you this month through my articles and poems will be messages I hope will prove to be insightful, informative and encouraging as always. I further pray that by the end of this month after reading my messages you come away having a greater sense of empowering, positive and productive ways to use the spiritual faculty power of Zeal.

As always I love hearing from you and look forward to hearing your feedback and comments. So keep sending me your Love Notes...and I'll keep sending you mine.

Until next time...I behold the Spirit of Christ in you...and surround you in Love & Light!

Purposeful Perspective: Letting Go...and Letting God

I woke up this morning with a new attitude,
grateful for what I have yet still yearning
for more spiritual food
Peace of mind and clarity in my soul,
'cause as of today...pursuing joy and happiness
while claiming my dreams,
has become my new life goal

I hear my inner voice of Spirit softly
saying to me, "the reason you desire
the things you do so strong & passionately,
is because they're not just frivolous dreams
but part of your Divine Destiny.
Pursue them with boldness
and fierce tenacity
And they shall come to pass...
surely they shall come to be

Let go of yesterday, for there's no room
for regrets of the past where you're now going
All you need is your faith, clear vision
and a spirit of knowing

Let the word of God be a lamp to your feet,
trusting in Him to guide you along your way.
He will lead you in the paths to the good life
where you'll be more than a visitor
'cause He's prepared a place
for you to stay

This is your season...now is your time...
Therefore you must move forward and not delay
Your life's destiny is now calling...
and to its great command you must listen,
take actions and obey

Humanity is waiting for the unique impression
your talents will leave on the world
and all that they are worth
So don't take the gifts God gave you
to your grave...leave them here
to be a blessing upon the earth"

Yes, I woke up this morning with
a new life perspective...
Fulfilling my purpose for living is now
my daily objective...
Allowing the God light in me
to be more potent and reflective...
Choosing to use the power
of my thoughts & words more selective...
Expecting results that prove
to be more rewarding & effective...
Trusting Divine Order to be my only directive.

"Thou wilt show me the path of life, and I shall be filled with the joy of thy countenance, with the pleasure of victory of thy right hand." ~ Psalm 16:11

The moral of this Inspirational Love Note message is to encourage you to leave all regrets over missed opportunities and situations you wished you had handled differently had you know what you know now behind. Leave the mistakes of your past in the past and take on a new perspective about your life from this point forward.

Starting today begin to wake up everyday giving the best you've got to the moment you're now in while pressing forward toward the glorious future God has in store for you. The key to doing this effectively is by Letting Go...and Letting God have His way and His will for you...in you...through you. By doing so you will soon see Divine Order unfold in your life leading you exactly to where you are divinely purposed to be.

Now click on the video link below and fill the Holy Spirit of Truth move through Bishop Paul Morton and his church congregation in the live performance of his soul stirring song perfectly suited to compliment my message to you today entitled, "Let Go and Let God."




As always I love hearing from you so please continue to send me your Love Notes...and I'll continue sending you mine.

Until next time....I behold the Spirit of Christ in you...and surround you in Love & Light!

Welcome to September: The Month of Order

We are now half way through the first full week of September and nearing the end of Summer at the same time. I most certainly hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend celebration and have gotten the kids back to school this week in an orderly fashion. Which brings me to our theme subject for this month. Continuing with my monthly themes of inspiring you with encouraging messages that also raise your awareness of the 12 spiritual power faculties within us, we continue this month with the 9th spiritual faculty, Order.

The physical location of this spiritual faculty center is the navel. The color it resonates with is green. The biblical disciple represented by this faculty is James. Everything in the Universe is governed by a system of order usually beginning with a thought or idea then proceeding with the spoken or written word of that idea and finally followed through with the action of carrying out that idea bringing it into physical manifestation.

For example, the building of a house begins as a creative idea or vision in the imagination of someone. Then they proceed with an architect drawing a blue print of the lay-out or design of the house transforming the idea in the mind into a visual design on paper. This is followed by builders or contractors being hired to lay the foundation and build the frame of the house which is putting the idea into action the next phase in the system of order for building a house.

This process continues on until the final phase which is the completed construction of the house and the physical manifestation of what began as just an idea or vision in someones mind. Following this train of thought...if your thoughts are not in order it makes it very difficult to bring any idea into physical manifestation.

My Inspirational Love Notes theme for this month will also include messages on Divine Order, the highest of all systems of order and the most important to understand regarding this spiritual faculty. So I look forward to sharing my knowledge and understanding of this topic with you this month while also continuing to bring you insightful ways to activate and use this spiritual power within us all.

More importantly, I look forward to sending you powerful messages of Love to keep you encouraged and inspired through whatever life changes and challenges you may be growing through. So let's kick this month in gear as we continue to grow together ever closer to the last quarter of this year.

Until next time...I behold the Spirit of Christ in you...and surround you in Love & Light!

A Date With Destiny: Final Thoughts For The Month of August

We have now quickly come not only to the end of yet another month expeditiously pushing us closer the end of the year. We have also come to the verge of summers end as well. I hope you have found my Inspirational Love Notes for this month insightful, encouraging and in some way helpful in getting you through whatever situation God is working out in your life at this time.

As we wrap up the month of August here are a few final thoughts on my theme subject discussed all month, the 8th of the 12 spiritual power faculties, WILL. All month I have shared messages of inspiration, encouragement, understanding and insight on the difference between our personal will and the higher Will of God. Additionally, I have provided bible scriptures and a song selection that supports the main point of each daily message regarding the Will of God for our lives.

Therefore, in review of the overall point of all the messages I've shared on this months theme, remember as it is stated in Proverbs 19:21, that we may have many plans but it is God's Higher plan for our lives that will prevail. This is not to say do not make plans for your life. By all means we should continue to set goals and pursue our dreams and life aspirations passionately.

However, in doing so we must keep in mind that we are created by and put here by God for His higher calling not for our own personal agenda's. So as we make our plans and set our goals in life we must remember to leave room in our hearts and our plans for God's Higher plan to unfold.

We must also remember to ask God what is his Divine Will for our lives and surrender our personal will to the infinite wisdom and intelligence of the Divine Mind of God. We are reminded of this in Isaiah 55:8-9 where the Lord says, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."

Therefore, if we have our coarse set to go in a particular direction in our lives only to find things not unfolding according to how we had planned because the Will of God has redirected our plans, thus taking our lives in a different direction than we had in mind, we must trust that God always has our best interest in mind and knows what's better for us than we could ever know how to think of or ask of him.

In this respect, we must come to understand that God has a a Higher purpose for why he allows us to go through certain things or allow particular situations in our lives to unfold or not unfold as we may have planned. So we must make our plans but do so with a spirit and heart of submission to the Higher plans and Will of God.

After all, Isaiah 14:21 also says, in regards to the Will of God, "The Lord Almighty has sworn, Surely, as I have planned, so it will be, and as I have purposed, so it will stand." Therefore, continue to make and pursue the plans according to your will for your life. Just remember that in the end it is God's Will for your life that shall prevail.

In closing, I leave you with a poem I wrote and recorded for my upcoming CD of poetry set to music entitled, "Hendrix Charm". Linked below is my first single from that CD called, "A Date With Destiny" featuring Hakim Abdul (a.k.a SoulR) on acoustic guitar and background vocals. Click the link below to check it out. Then ask and allow God, without resistance on your part, to lead you to your divine Date With Destiny that is the Will of God for your life.




As always, I love hearing from you. So by all means continue to send me your Love Notes...and I'll keep sending you mine.

Until next time...I behold the Spirit of Christ in you...and surround you in Love & Light!

Turn Your Lemons Into Lemonade

A few days ago I was making something that required fresh organic lemons as a main ingredient. So my boyfriend stopped by the store and picked some up for me. I only needed a few but instead he brought me a whole bag of them. So later that day I found myself standing in front of the refrigerator holding the door open while staring at that bag of lemons thinking, "why did he bring me a whole bag of lemons? I only needed a few now the rest of them are useless."

Shaking my head and laughing to myself I said, "God what am I suppose to do now with all these lemons?" Then I closed the door to the refrigerator and turned to the kitchen sink to wash some dishes when, still laughing to myself about the matter, I heard that "still small voice" of Spirit within say back to me..."use them to make lots of fresh squeezed lemonade."

At that point I began laughing hysterically out loud at the simplicity of such a clear yet profound epiphany. I say this because this revelation from Spirit was not just in reference to my quandary regarding the bag of lemons in my refrigerator. It was also a metaphor in response to a plea for help and guidance regarding a much bigger, more challenging situation, I was also facing at the time in my personal life that I had just prayed to God about earlier that morning as well during my daily prayer and mediation time.

So I laughed out loud in amazement at how awesome God is. In that same moment I realized the response I had just heard from Spirit, while standing at my kitchen sink trying to figure out what to with that silly bag of lemons, was also the answer for how to address the personal situation in my life I had prayed about as well.

You see, the moral of this story is that no matter what life throws at you there's always hope for turning the situation around in your favor. Sometimes we aim for a particular goal in life or pray for an immensely heartfelt desire to come to pass. Yet, what shows up in front of us instead is a situation that falls short of what we had envisioned and leaves us feeling like we've ended up with a bag of lemons. However, you can always turn your lemons...into lemonade.

Romans 8:28 in the New Living Translation says, "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." With this being the case, we can take any situation or circumstance that looks and feels like a bag of lemons and trust that despite outer appearances of the situation, God is in the mist of it all working it out in a way that will prove to be something very good for us. We can trust that in the final outcome no matter how bleak the situation currently appears, it will always end up working out in our best interest and highest favor.

So take heed to the wisdom from Spirit that came to me regarding my own personal situation and apply it in your life as well. Take that situation that looks and feels like a bag of lemons in your life and see God turning it into a sweet...refreshing...delicious...organic...hand squeezed by our Most High God...tall pitcher of lemonade.

Remember...no matter how long it takes to see the change you desire in the matter or how old you may be God is still well able. As long as there will always be a God in control of all things in the Universe...likewise there will always be hope for any situation in your life to be turn around for the better.

In closing, I leave you with this uplifting song of positive lyrics, energetic delivery and encouraging message that only the incomparable India Arie can convey in her own unique way through the gift of music. Click the link below to enjoy this inspirational message from her through the video for her song perfectly titled, "There's Hope", from her CD Testimony: Vol. 1, Life & Relationship.



As always, I love hearing from you. So by all means continue to send me your Love Notes...and I'll continue sending you mine.

Until next time...I behold the Spirit of Christ in you...and surround you in Love & Light!

Hear My Call : A Prayer for Healing...Help...and Guidance

I know I usually publish my daily Inspirational Love Note messages through my original works of poetry and articles. However, there is no poem or article I could write today that would more clearly convey my message of encouragement for you better than Jill Scott has already done through her phenomenal talent displayed in her song, "Hear My Call", from her recently released CD "Light of The Sun". So I've linked her new exceptionally well done video below to share with you as my Inspirational Love Note for you today.

I personally think Jill Scott is an extraordinary actor, poet, songstress and artist. Yet, when you witness for yourself the heart moving display of emotions and truth-filled lyrics in this video and song that she sings from the depths of her soul...I think you will agree with me that it's very hard to believe she is just "acting" here. This video is a display of REAL...RAW emotions. It is a very personal prayer calling to God from her heart that she has openly and courageously shared with her fans through her prolific lyrics...anointed gift of music and angelic voice.

So to anyone (myself included) who feels or have ever felt as she so eloquently expresses in this video and song, I encourage you today to do as both Jill has done in this song and I have done countless times...turn inward to God. Ask Him for help and guidance through whatever painful or challenging situation you're going through. Psalm 118:5 (New International Version) says, “In my anguish I cried out to the Lord, and he answered by setting me free.”

Click the link below to take in the healing power of today's message through this awesome song and video. Then go into the secret chambers of your own inner closet and say to God, "Father I humbly come to you for help and guidance in this situation I'm facing...Please..."Hear My Call".



As always in closing, I love hearing your feedback. So I invite you to continue sending me your Love Notes and I'll continue sending you mine.

Until next time, I behold the Spirit of Christ in you...and surround you in Love & Light!

On The Edge of A Breakthrough

What do you do when the journey
has been long, arduous and tough,
And you're way past the point
of feeling like you've had enough?
Ask God to renew your strength
but don't you dare give up...
It's just a sign that
you're on the edge of a breakthrough!

What do you do when seeds
you've been sowing
still show no major sign
of bearing fruit,
And the progress you have
achieved seems so minute?
Keep watering those seeds
and trust that beneath the ground
they're gowning...
Keep the faith cause you're
on the edge of a breakthrough!

What do you do when you've done
your very best to remain
humble & meek,
And now your spirit is still
willing but your flesh is getting weak,
When your thoughts of despair
are getting harder to control,
and your reaching an emotional peak?
Put on the whole armor of God
and hold your peace...your right there,
on the edge of your breakthrough!

What do you do when your situation
appears worst now than when
it began,
And your patience with the outcome
is culminating to a rapid end?

When your thoughts of throwing
in the towel and walking away
begin to challenge your will & grace to stay,
Surrender it all to the Will of God
and trust that everything will work
out more than okay...

Stand on Gods promise to be with you
in all things and without ceasing
continue to pray...
Keep pressing toward your goal
and don't look back
or fall astray...
Put your confidence in God
and know your miracle is on the way
...cause you're on the very
edge of a breakthrough!

They say it's always the darkest
before the dawn and even in
the eleventh hour a miraculous
act of God can rescue you,
So after you've done all you
humanly can then can't figure out
what next to do...
Be still and know that God is NEVER late
and His promises are true,
Hold on...
You're on the edge of a breakthrough!

As always in closing, I love hearing from you so by all means please continue to send me your Love Notes...and I'll continue sending you mine.

Until next time, I behold the Spirit of Christ in you...and surround you in Love & Light!

The Door to Your Divine Destiny is Open...Are you willing to walk through it?

The door to your divine destiny is already open. The question is...are you willing to step out on faith and walk through it? Are you willing to go after your dreams with tenacity and sheer determination until they become your reality?

Are you willing to see the grand opportunities the changes in our countries economy presents? Are you further willing to maximize on those opportunities by taking that brilliant idea God gave you years ago off your "mental shelf" and execute it now, thus creating work for yourself and others rather than looking for work?

Are you willing to follow your passions with fierceness and fortitude until you discover for yourself where they might lead you? Are you willing to let go of your fears and apprehensions from your past and live with enthusiasm about tomorrow...fully present in today?

Continuing with the theme for this month on the spiritual faculty Will, we realize from the scriptures noted in my previous Inspirational Love Notes this month on the subject, that God's Will for us has been made plain and clear. We know now from those scriptures that God's Will for us is to, "have life and to have it more abundantly." We understand also from scripture that God's Will for us is to have joy that is complete in Him through Christ Jesus.

We also know through the scriptures that God has promised to give us the desires of our hearts if we only keep him first in our lives, loving, trusting & seeking him with all our hearts. Lastly, we know from Jesus in Luke 12:32 that..." it is the Father's good pleasure..." to give us the kingdom.

Therefore again I say, God's Will for us through scripture has been made crystal clear. He has already done His part by orchestrating the "Divine Design" for our lives from the moment of our conception in our mother's womb. To demonstrate His deep love for us even further He has already laid before us the perfect path of least resistance to the "good life" he has prepared and promised is ours to behold.

The door to your divine destiny is open. So the real question here is not in regards to God's Will. Rather, the question is are you willing to align your will with God's Will for you? Are you willing to step out on faith no matter how many times you've tried to achieve your dreams in the past and was met with the appearance of failure and disappointment. Are you willing to try again only this time having an "I will NOT be put off or denied that which is my Divine Right inheritance as a child of the Most High God" attitude.

Before I go, I'd like to share with you an excerpt from a monthly publication by my church home, Hillside International Chapel & Truth Center, Inc., called the Daily Thoughts From The Hill, written by Rev. Angela Harrington-Rice. In her message for last Wednesday, August 17th, entitled "I Walk Through The Open Door", she wrote:

"Sometimes the opportunity we desire is just beyond the open door. When we make the decision that we have had enough of what has been and no longer fear the "what if's," we will see the open door and walk through it."

She goes on to say, "...We sometimes fear the realm of the unknown and would rather stay in the realm of what we know. However, when we totally trust the Holy Spirit, we know that God is forever with us and will never leave us. And if we walk through the door to the other side, we will experience the table that God has prepared for us that meets our every need."

So what are you waiting for...perfect conditions in your situation? If that's your excuse then you're waiting is in vain because life is messy and the conditions of your situation will never be more perfect than they are right now. Yesterday is for letting go...tomorrow is but a dream...but today...Ahhhh...Today is for living.

So go on...step out on faith and walk through that open door to that new career in the field of interest you've always dreamed of working. Take that leap of faith through the door to that new relationship and give love another try.

Follow your passion through every door it leads you knowing God is with you every step of the way. Conquer your fears. Walk through that open door of opportunity set before you right now and don't look back even for a milla-second. Your divine destiny awaits you...so go get it!

As always, I love hearing your feedback. So by all means continue sending me your Love Notes...and I'll continue sending you mine.

Until next time...I behold the Spirit of Christ in you...and surround you in Love & Light!
