Why We Should Watch Our Mouths
I don't know about you, but I have been watching the world from behind my phone screen and living room window in horror at the unraveling of what we held in our ritualistic hands as reality. The urge to speak up on any public platform that I could get my hands on was and has been comparable to a kick in the gut, but I refrained despite the guilt. Why, you ask? Because it appeared to me that I needed to do something that I noticed most people were not; to practice the pause. We have all witnessed the vicious attacks against each other on social media, confrontations in the supermarket over wearing or not wearing masks, and the massive raking over the coals of endless individuals who simply have different perspectives. Ever heard that quote asking about how you would feel if all the words you spoke were suddenly tattooed on you or something like that? Same principle. But beyond that, I remembered that if you are against something, you should be pro its opposite. The law of attraction only operates knowing that all of your energy is going toward your object of thought, and when charged with emotion, is in hyperdrive. So then comes the pause, the moment to zoom out of the sea of cognitive dissonance and ego and see the big picture. To deliberate on one's words before they are in the ethers permanently. In addition to being careful what you say, the turbulence of societal functions as a whole right now is draining all of us. I am so guilty of sharing self- deprecating meme's or making jokes at my own expense- do not do this! Your mind doesn't know the difference and your words are spells. If you don't feel gorgeous and loving saying it, step back and regroup. This is what I do know- I love all of you and I am going to spend my time conjuring fond thoughts of how we can continue to come together and communicate for a better future. It is absolutely imperative. I believe that what we are going through right now is a massive cleansing and shift for the better and I know that many of you are awakening spiritually. I am here for you. Make time for self care and practice the pause before you create your reality. When you come out the other side eloquent, positive, and open- minded, the future becomes something that isn't so scary.

Step Into Your Power
Imagine that you have free will. That you have the choice to make any decision you like. Imagine that the only limitation is your imagination. Now imagine that all the barriers you perceive are in your own mind. What if this concept wasn't just in your imagination?

You may have a job.Will it be there?
Yes, you may have a job now. Will it be there? The intention is not to discourage but to invoke thought. Since you may be busy shuffling work, home, and getting things on track in your life it may have got lost. After all, who foresees unfavorable outcomes. You should though. Why?

What Color Are Your Glasses Today?
Patty watched as Sally skipped down the path, and patiently waited for her to get closer. When she did, Patty got up and began skipping next to her. Sally had thick curly hair so her face was not seen very well, and because Patty was curious about the day, she asked Sally what color glasses she was wearing. Sally slowed down and turned toward Patty with a big smile on her face. I am wearing rose colored glasses today, Patty, so take a big breath and smile! Then Sally went skipping along on her own way while Patty stood there and tried to figure out what Sally had meant.

YouTube's "urban monk"Jay Shetty making wisdom go viral.
Jay Shetty is an Award-Winning Storyteller, world's top Life Coach Podcaster, and a former monk who is making wisdom truly go viral. After finishing business, school he turned down several lucrative offers from prestigious companies in order to become a monk. For three year he traveled across India and all of Europe living as a monk and studying how they lived their profound ways. It didn't end their however. It was just the beginning to his life purpose. He was driven by a desire to share the things he learned with the rest of the world. I wish to share with you brief background about my life story so that you, the reader, can feel and comprehend how immense Jay Shetty has helped me and many across the world heal mentally and spiritually. I come from an Asian culture background, so discipline for us is what America calls "Child Abuse". I was raised by a single mother and with 6 siblings. I became a mother and a woman at the age of 15. It was at that point, life became oh so REAL! Throughout my life as a child deep into my adult years, I experienced a prodigious amount of traumatic physical & mental abuse that almost cost me my children as well as my life. By the age of 24, I was a mother of four children. I had to do everything all on my own. There is so much more to my story but I'll jump to the point where my ultimate journey began. I became engaged in 2015 to a man I thought was great for me and my children. He enchanted me with his charm and, what I thought at the time, was his graceful heart. I couldn't have been more wrong. With a broken past and a heart still on the mend, I had to relive what I thought I had left behind me, more physical and mental abuse. He's immorality and wickedness became exposed and rose to the surface. He was abusive to me far more then what I had already been exposed to. With a loaded gun pointed to my head and him screaming these exact words "If you every leave me bitch I will kill you!". I tried to leave many times, but just couldn't escape. As a results of my attempts to leave he had also took a revolver to his head and pulled the trigger on himself 3 times, as he played Russian Roulette with himself. Over time it got worse. While living under the menace of this chaos I was not feeling right and ended up testing positive for cancer cells. Knowing I had children to live for, that hit me harder then anything I can imagine. Soon after, I finally got the courage to move my children and myself across the country in order to feel safe. It felt like a frightening and impossible task. We arrived in California with only our clothing and photo album of my children. I had little in the way of savings, no job, no friends to turn to. For a short period of time, I lost hope in life, myself and questioning my ability as a mother. I would ask God, "How is it that I keep attracting this into my life, and why did I deserve any of this?" I spent sleepless nights curled on the floor crying myself to sleep, but that was nothing new to my life given my past. What hurt me the most was the feeling of failure, failure of being a good mother. As a mother strong of will and with strong faith, I told myself something has got to give. My heart was heavy and filled with hurt, anger, betrayal. I was unable to return love, concern or form any type of relationship because the fear of being hurt. I felt as though I entered savage mode. I was empty inside and the only love I felt and kept was for my children. I knew that I wanted to move forward in a positive direction, I needed to repair myself mentally and emotionally. I knew I would not be any good to anyone in my life until I heal fully from my past. I started looking into self-therapy and that's when I stumbled upon Jay Shetty on YouTube. It was from that day forward I became a whole new person. Friends and family who had known me for years were totally astonished of who I became. They didn't recognize the person standing in front of them anymore when I reconnected with them, as I cut all communication with my family and friends because of being angry at everyone who had I thought at the time that did me wrong. Jay Shetty's YouTube videos along with his podcast, day by day helped release a lot of anger that I was holding on to. His knowledge and wisdom had taught me how to forgive, to effectively and compassionately communicate, come from a place of compassion and understanding, how to disagree the right way with a soft spoken voice, how to move on from the past, to not judge, find & keep love, to implement more positive thinking and behavior, to listen more to what others have to say instead of being quick to respond to another person, to constantly educate myself and never stop growing. Because of Jay Shetty, I now walk down the spiritual path of life, and it brings harmony and calmness to my mind, body and soul. His words of wisdom have brought out so much positive change in my life with my thinking and behavior, that I never would of thought in a million years, I would become the person I am now. I can honestly say I love even more than I ever did before and I am more humble than ever. I am Jay Shetty's biggest fan, and I will continue to follow his ways, as he has left a remarkable imprint on my soul. Jay also introduced me to Dr. Joe Dispenza (researcher for neuroscience, epigenetics and quantum physics). I started following him due to my illnesses to naturally learn how our brain works, and from there, learn how to cure myself. Jim Kwik (worlds #1 brain coach) is another awesome person I started following due to several head injuries I had sustain along with memory loss. None of this would have ever been possible without Jay Shetty's words of wisdom. All of the wisdom and knowledge has profoundly impacted every aspect of my life and not to mention along with the people that are in my life. I too make a positive impact on people I come across on a daily basis and spread his teaching and words of wisdom. I will list some of Jay Shetty's words of wisdom that help me, and just maybe, whoever reads this, their curiosity will be triggered and they to will start a journey to healing, perhaps make more wisdom go viral.

Living your Passions!
What is passion? The definition of passion is a strong and barely controllable emotion. An extravagant enthusiasm or desire. To me, passions are what bring us joy. Moments that make our spirit feel alive when we are engaged in something. Since I was a child I’ve had a passion for writing. Whether it was stories, poems or music. Another passion I had growing up, that has been embedded in my soul, is to help others. I would always try to help friends who were experiencing toxic households because I had empathy towards their situations. At one point in my life, my mother told me “ You’re not the savior of the world, you must first save yourself.” I realize now what she meant. I would never be of any service to others if I wasn't happy or complete within myself. A person drowning can not help save another from drowning.
