The Flow of Blossoming
In the red, I had been there for a while, about a decade. Stuck in the cycle of survival mode unable to trust and feel safe within myself. Feeling as if I didn’t know what was best for my own light. Groveling and allowing life to happen to me, always becoming and playing the victim of my circumstances. Until I made a firm decision to take control and that is when the cycle ended. From there life became fluid.

A Time of Manifestation
Rue! I heard my grandmother Marley calling out for me. Yes, grandma what is it? Oh, nothing I just wanted to see your face. I have not seen you all day you. Agreeing I thought to myself yes because I was sort of not in the mood to be bothered. So, what do you and papa have planned for the day? We are going to lunch first and then hanging out at the senior center. Going to whoop them in some cards and dominoes I see. I looked across the room to where she was sitting in her faded brown rocking chair, today she wore a bright almost lime green blouse with a pink scarf. My grandmother had a peculiar sense of taste in fashion I smiled. she smiled back. Laying across the sofa I sighed and spoke, grandma I had the weirdest dream last night. I had a dream that I won the lottery I had five out of the six numbers and I won twenty thousand dollars. It felt crazy real grandma, I could even remember the numbers I have them written in my phone. Pulling my phone out and looking at the screen I started calling out the numbers from my dream. Nine, thirty-six, forty-two, twelve, twenty-one, nineteen. When she did not say anything I glanced over at her. Grandma why are you looking at me like that? Marley sat there looking as if in deep thought. Sweetie you might not believe me, but I had the exact same dream. Grandma do not make fun of me. No, really Rue the only difference was that it was one of the men family who won and not you. Are you just saying that to me grandma? No child, I had a similar dream. If I were you, I would go and play the lottery. Starting at her from the side I told her I would consider going to play. I am serious Rue go and play, there is a reason we both had similar dreams. What would you do with a big amount of money like that? Laughing her off I heard myself saying I don’t know grandma before changing the subject. I sat speaking with my grandma about forty-five minutes longer before I heard my papa making his way downstairs so that they could leave. Those two are as thick as thieves you would not find one without the other. Thinking to myself about how cute they are together. her thr outspoken spunky personality and him the mellow fellow as I liked to say. They are my heart and soul and if it were not for them, I believe my life would probably be much different than what it is today they had been there for me when I had no one else in my corner. I wanted to make them proud and was trying my hardest to do so, but I had to admit to myself that I stumbled more than necessary, and I knew that it frustrated them that she had always switched the direction she wanted her life to go in. It did not matter because every moment along the way had been encouraging.

Small Commitments
I am sure if you are anything like me, you could also be a big procrastinator. Knowing that there are things that need to be completed and you wait until the last moment (literally not figuratively). Always leaving tasks for a later time until the time just slips away, and that thing never quite gets finished. Choosing to do everything else except for the one thing that should be at the top the to do list. I decided to sit down and observe the real reason as to why I have been unable to go from point A (which is idea) to point B (which is execution) on plenty of projects that I start. I have been doing some reflection and I can admit now that procrastination is quality that has kept me from following through on my goals. On a consistent basis putting the task that I know to be beneficial in ideas, projects off until the last moment, and the quality of the work is not there. So, I came up with an idea for myself and maybe you might try it for yourself as well.

A Chance at Something New, Something Better.
Here we are a new year and the chance to accomplish another level and complete new goals. I decided to focus my new year on the areas of self-love and stepping outside of my comfort zones. Notice how I said zones as in plural. I want this year to be about how I took control of my life and started living beyond the negative chatter inside of my head or, just thinking and believe things were meant to be this way so I end up staying in places or situations longer than I should have. That is why self-love is major key for me this year. Cultivating enough trust within myself and my abilities to accomplish living a life that I envision for myself. Cultivating an unshakeable love within myself that allows me to always be of service and functioning as my highest self. I will not say anything negative about the whole nine to five lifestyle, but it is just not how I envision spending my time and energy. I want to focus my energy the more passionate side of life.
