What is Your Vision

Proverbs 29:18

If there is no vision the people will perish

So what exactly does this proverb mean?
Well, simply put, a dream goal fantasy idea whatever you want to call it has to start with a feeling that turns into a thought that grows into an idea that is fed by a strong urge, which some people refer to as passion that manifests into a vision.

A few definitions of vision I have found:
1. The manner in which one sees or conceives of something.
2. The mental image produced by the imagination.
3. Unusual competence in discernment or perception; intelligent foresight.
4. The faculty of sight
5. Something that is or has been seen.

Imagine our world if Ben Franklin, MLK, Sojurner Truth, The Wright Brothers, Stevie Wonder, Oprah, Steve Jobs...I could go on and on. Each of these individuals had at some point or another fantacized about their achievements. Because they decided to leave fantasy island and manifest their ideas, humanity has been the lucky beneficiary. They have contributed to the evolution of man. Manifesting their visions caused ripple affects. Inspiring and igniting more visions for others. Think about this; Ben Franklin discovered electricity, because of this discovery we are able plug our lights, power up computers, watch tv, toast bread; charge our phones and the list goes on. Imagine what life would be like if Ben Franklin chose to not honor his vision. What kind of world would we live in.

Do not be afraid of your vision. You never know how you might benefit the world you live in.

THE SKIN I'M IN...

NYC-Embracing & Letting Go of This Skin I 've been desperately holding on to old shedding skins. Skin that has puckered and worn out. Skin that is snug in all the wrong places and increasingly more and more uncomfortable. Skin that no longer serves me and is completely unrecognizable. Skin that I've been terrified to let go of and allow to decompose because the new just felt/feels terrifying. The new feels/felt so different. I'm not even sure how to wear it or even approach this skin. What part of me do I dress/address first...Do I start with putting it on from my head or my feet? Or do I put it on like a front button down dress with at least 100 buttons that need attention? I'm not sure how to wear this new skin. I'm not sure how to approach this new skin, so I've isolated myself more than ever. I've hid myself away but I find myself seeking to connect and be held; be in spaces with more than just me & this ill-fitting version of myse

Dear Single Mama!

The Early Years of Figuring It Out! You got this! Yes, YOU GOT THIS! I know you’re wrapping presents solo. I know you might be feeling guilt because you couldn’t afford all the spoils for your babe(s). I know you’re possibly pushing through some unhealed traumas, negative balances, uncertainty, exhaustion & being the safe space AKA emotional punching bag for said babes…whom you are also wracking your brain trying to figure out how to give them the world & keep them shielded from the perils of that same world including your ish…What am I saying? You’re keeping your spinning plates going! You’ve come so far! Remember when you didn’t have right in this moment (job, an apartment, safety, a couple of extra dollars, food, new furniture, new friends, new love, school, accomplishments…) YOU have come so far! YOU have done your very best to keep the fruit of your womb safe & supported. So take a moment to honor yourself as you figure out how to make duct tape look

Failure is Not Final

Such a simple statement, yet so profound, life changing even. A simple statement a co worker of mine made while sharing a story about his son who, by the way was telling his dad how that simple statement he made to him years prior was what seemed to always bring him back to his center. Failure is not final...So I get up everyday and do what I am supposed to do - wake up, shower, dress, make sure my kid is showered, dressed, fed and prepared for the day ahead, while I do the same for work. That is what i'm supposed to do. Yup, a run-on sentence that defines my day to day life of what is supposed to be. It's easy to do this daily dance because I am supposed to; the world expects it, so it is easy to fulfill. Failure is not really an option - I'm expected to work and be a mother. It's the responsible thing to do. So let's discuss what I yearn to do, my personal expectations and make that simple statement...failure is not final...Why has getting to that finish li
