When you read it stimulates your brain improving connectivity, empowering you to empathize with other people.

A book that will allow you a to improve your connectivity and help stimulate your brain, causing you to connect the story with your own story would be The Lioness: You can change your future.

I am not saying this to sell books BUT because I love when stories help others think about what they read and apply it to their own lives.

Yes, it's a children's book, but the story will resonate no matter how old you may be!

I hope you have a beautiful day 💗 💛 💕 

One day, even if I just show one person what truly is, then maybe, just maybe, it will open a road for others to finally see too. 

Words are just words until someone reads them and those words make them think. Then those words hold meaning.

I write for me, but if someone happens to take my words to heart and allows them to open their mind and relates those words to their own lives, then I will know.

During Ari's dreams, she finds a Lioness. At first, she thinks her dream turned into a nightmare, but as the dream develops, Ari discovers everything that was once scary is really not as it seems.

This is where Ari learns she does not need to be afraid. As her dream progresses, she discovers how to uncover the truth and to not judge based off fear of the unknown.

Five Minute Breather

 

Manifesting Moments

 

An indirect shoutout via social media. Small statements in a limited number of lines that spoke so much truth, it would be easy to ignore. Chalk it up to the hierarchy of needing to focus on drama and not a shoutout to a friend that used to be, yet stepped away from what? A voice in their head telling them it was not right to be happy. Thank you panic inducing voices, we give too much of ourselves to everyday, for not allowing this to just be.

But this day, the sun is shining and playing peek-a-boo with the clouds, and I feel the call to walk into nature to just breathe in the peaceful energy and exhale the negative energy we condemn our minds to each day.

In the post I gave a vague idea as to where I’d be and if it was seen and what I thought to be friendship was once just that, then they would find me sitting on a sun bleached log, writing or reading or listening to the sound of nature's calls with an extra water just in case they caught on to the GPS coordinates, for a little Geocaching fun, of where I would be located.

 

Latitude 45° 02’ 56.40” N

Longitude -75° 58’ 22.80” W

 

Sitting on this sun-bleached log, at the side of a lake, enjoying the peeking sun. I couldn’t help but feel grateful for having this, even if my shout out came unanswered.to be alone in a world full of people rushing around can make you feel stuck, like you can’t breathe. But allowing the hectic world to pass around you as you enjoy a five-minute breather with someone you can be yourself with, that is a game changer, and today… Today is the day I may just have this breather with nature blocking out that constant shift all around me in their place.

I figured there was an eighty percent chance the post wasn’t seen, but as I do, I came with a backup plan. In my place a top this sun-bleached log I placed a simple token to claim my manifested stories place in my memories with a simple painted rock of the moon and stars with a time and date as to when I was there. Walking away I left everything else to fate.

These are the moments we live for. For they hold your heart and mind in a space of time allowing you to create stories to bring to the world and allow people a chance to wonder what it all really means.

 

Did they find it…I guess we shall see.

It started with the stars

Opportunity right before my eyes

Capturing my thoughts

As my imagination ran free

Releasing me from my stress

Which I tend to hold tight

Then came the moon

Glowing bright

Mesmerizing my soul

As it slowly moved across the night sky

Allowing me to be in the moment

Without counting time

Hand by my side

Itching to extend

To the shadow cast

By the porch light

In silents as I held my face

Toward the sky

Allowing me to just breath

Comforting me

Knowing even if I was alone

At that moment in time

You sat beside me

Understanding 

Darkness is...

Click the video to listen to this short blog or read along. Don't mind the darkness, the light will come through.

Darkness is a state of mind.

It is the voice in your head telling you false truths.

It is a filter you carry with you; one you must constantly remind yourself isn’t real.

But what is real and what is a filter?

You come into the world with a different beginning than anyone else.

You hear different sounds, different pitches.

The only way you translate these new beginnings are by learning what is real, by someone that may not understand truth themselves.

In a world filled with filters, we all hideaway a darkness similar or not to everyone else. The difference between their darkness and yours is how you present it or manipulate it to benefit yourself.

 

Darkness is a state of mind…

Darkness is what you believe it to be…

Darkness is not all of you…

Darkness is…

 

We can see the shadows creeping, even if we place it in a box in our minds labeled imagination.

We are told our whole lives that the shadows we see are not real, just a trick of the light or a wild imagination.

Do you remember your first false truth?

Was it an imaginary friend?

A person known to be deceased.

Was it a shadow in the corner, shape shifting, waiting for a chance to invade your mind?

The monster under the bed, told to be a white lie to keep the kids in their bed at nights.

Or a mark on your skin as you sleep and dream that you are being pulled from your bed.

What unexplained darkness or shadow was part of your childhood?

Did you leave it behind or did you just hide it behind another filter of life?

Hide Don't Seek

 

    When we were younger hide-n-seek was a fun game. A game that allowed you to see how well you could hide before someone found you. The more you played the more you learned.

                Some of us learned we loved to hide but not to seek, because that is what we were best at. Some of us didn’t like the hiding part because it was too stressful, but we loved to seek because this part, the searching part, was fun, it was a mission.

                Did this game chart a path in our life as we grew, by preparing us to understand if we should hide or if we should seek? Or did you figure out both suited you just fine, following that path would lead you to help and keep some things hidden.

                Are we as children learning life lessons or pieces of ourselves while playing childhood games? If I sit here and breakdown each aspect of those games and life, I could figure it out. But I was never a seeker. I believe I may have liked to hide to an extent but really, I was usually the one that said, “Over there.” And pointed to the one that hid, type of player.

                If I think about the game, I believe it was a sign of trying to stay out of the line of sight and more of a peripheral view type. “Yeah, you can see me but only if I don’t step backwards out of view. As adults we believed hiding and not seeking was the way to go. Today the tides have turned for the younger generation and they tend to seek more than hide. In some ways this is good, in others it’s a, not so cheap, way to escape what is truly wrong. A crutch to keep life how it is by saying, “I’m in therapy. Don’t take anything I do seriously!” In other ways therapy is helping and we have less people self-harming themselves or harming others. This would be the growth we need. Let's change the standards we grew up by: Hide Don’t Seek and start seeking those who may still be hiding and need to be seen. Let’s bring them out of hiding quietly so they know there is help and they are not alone.
