Some Young People's Priorities Have Changed And They No Longer Want To Be Millionaires
Until a few years ago, the dream of being a millionaire was something everyone fantasized about. Since childhood the game of Monopoly gave great expectations to reach that goal, but now and more after this turbulent year, the priorities seem to be changing and many young people are taking care to say it loud and clear.

How To Heal
He had a power over me that kept me paralyzed at his side. 18 years I had put in with this man. The man I so thought would be my forever. He was mentally ill. Narcissistic Bipolar with Schitso-effective tendencies. I couldn't imagine life without him. I couldn't imagine not loving him with every fiber of my being regardless of how much he hurt me and broke my heart. No matter what, I took him back and accepted his lies. I didn't know then that I had trained him to know that I would accept his behaviors but I had by allowing it EVERY SINGLE TIME! Until the day I met the man that would later give me the most priceless life altering gift. He taught me how to heal and led me to the most beautiful relationship with my creator. It's funny now looking back because I thought of my self as a spiritual being and I thought I had a good relationship with God. In some sense I was right. I was spiritual and I did have a relationship with God I guess the way most aspiring good humans did. I remember praying one day that I would be the one to wake this already admirable new human in my life up. See he was the son of the preacher man and he lived by the power of prayer but was starting to question things in his faith. He came into my life at a very painful time for me. I couldn't remember the last time I felt the sensation of being happy or even hell, content. The connection was raw and very very real. We both felt it. It was undeniable. Like our soul's had known each other since the creation of time. We wouldn't stay together long at this time though. I went away for awhile. I was states away. We didn't talk for some time. I started having these visions of him. Visions he wasn't okay, visions of his light burning out. I had to get back to him. I had to see his face again. I called him and made arrangements to see him. I made my way to his state and we met face to face. It was the most amazing familiar energy. Right there in his presence was the only place I cared to be. We picked up like we had never been apart. I told him of my visions and asked him if he knew what was taking his light. He told me he did though he offered no explanation. It would be several more weeks before I would see him again. We made this crazy plan to go to Puerto Rico for a few weeks and things were aligning for this to actually take place. This man. This magnificent man and I have been on a beautiful journey since January, when we did actually go to Puerto Rico for two weeks to meditate. Since then we have traveled to Chicago and Atlanta among other places. This man and I have taught each other so much and continue to teach and grow with each other. The most beautiful thing is that he taught me how to heal. He taught me how to love myself unconditionally and he asked me questions that no one ever had. He asked me things like "What makes me happy, what inspires me, what am I passionate about." I didn't know the answers to these questions. No one had ever cared to ask me. These questions prompted me to look within and find the answers. The more I dug the more I was able to let go of my traumas and grow. I came to terms with the fact that the girl I thought I was I had never actually known. I peeled away at the layers of pain and decided who ever that girl was had passed away. I was okay with that because now I had the tools to become the person I was always meant to be. I was finally free to heal and become....well me. I want you to know that it doesn't have to be this way. You can heal. You can be happy. You don't have to hold on to the hurt. Your traumas don't have to define you. YOU CAN BE FREE! So I ask you now, on your side with meaning and emotion, What are you passionate about? What is it that truly makes your heart sing?

How I Trusted The Universe And Manifested $30
The quarter story starts way back in 2013 when I received a gift from a good friend who also was gifted this book titled The Secret. Well, one warm sunny Saturday afternoon I decided to start reading the Secret and came to a point in the book that talks about what you think about you attract to yourself like a magnet. So, this gave me an idea to put this thought creates things theory to practice. The book recommended that a find a quiet place where I would not be disturbed, close my eyes and take a few deep breaths then think of something I really wanted but to start with something small. I begin thinking about a quarter 25 cent piece and since it is made of a metallic substance I thought this would speed up the magnetic process of manifesting what I am thinking about. Sitting on the edge of my bed in my bedroom with eyes closed I started to think the word quarter over and over and over and over and over again. Well, that exercise tired me out and I then laid down to take a nap. After about 30 minutes my son who was about eight or nine years old at the time came into my bedroom and said dad there is someone on the phone for you. Coming awake from my 30 - minute nap I went to pick up the phone and the person on the other end asks me if I was available to notarize some documents for her on Sunday because she had to leave town first thing Monday morning and needed my services right away. I told her I normally do not notarize documents on Sundays but I will make an exception for her this time since it was crucial for her to get the documents notarized right away.

Just Call Me a Master of Science
Last week, on the Thursday 23rd September 2020, was significant for me. It was the day I'd dreaded and dare to dream for. The day I found out that I had, not only passed my master’s degree, but earned myself a merit. Cue the fanfare, people.

Feeling Grateful in Trying Times
Are you struggling to feel thankful in these trying times? Have you lost your sense of wonder about the world and feel less grateful than usual? With all the craziness of the past few months - COVID-19, elections, crime, just an overall sense of negative energy in the world – it’s not surprising your sense of gratitude has become low or even empty. Being grateful for what one has seems to be a simple task, but surprisingly, for many people, it is not, especially now. With the hustle and bustle of daily life, the development of new gadgets and gizmos (that are supposed to make our lives easier, but they sure seem to complicate them, don’t they?), it can be hard to stay grounded and appreciate the positive things that are a part of your life in the here and now. Here are some tips for increasing (or developing) a sense of gratitude.

The Question
The question that comes into my head. Reoccurring as if the reason is slowly slipping away. Jokes were made & strides to the end goal felt nice but still, emotions rose & the question is live. Filled with imagination, thoughts & explanations reach the surface as you wonder what may come of this.

I met my bully years later and this happened...
This blog is written not for sympathy but for awareness and acknowledgement of this issue that surrounds people everyday. My 10th grade was undoubtedly the most negative year for me. I got bullied in various situations and everyday, I would pray to god that "please not today". I never told my parents or anyone until now because in my society, nobody is supposed to be and shouldn't share personal experiences such as bullying, harassment, abuse, violence and much more. People know these things happen but they are so ignorant towards these issues and treat it like it's normal. Most people make these social issues generalized that others don't think it's bad to do and support things like that. I believe telling and sharing experiences can help other people with providing information, awareness, and bring reflection (basically a wake up call) to people that it's not right that these ordeal circumstances happened to you. Today, I have enough courage to tell everyone that these situations happened to me and I will not let anyone do that to me ever again.

The Process of Making Yourself A Priority Again
It’s easy to go along with life and not stop to smell the roses. While this is happening, we are susceptible to stress. Most of us have to deal with juggling a career, kids, a social life, and somehow everything else. The world has set expectations for us in work environments based on competition.
