"I be like soul food.
I be a whole mood."
-Beyoncé
Ever notice how self love has a shimmer to it?
Authentic souls just seem to radiate light.
For me, living a love lifestyle is like...hmmm...
You know when your hair stylist puts the cap on? So you can 'let it sit a minute'?
Love is like that.
You just let yourself 'sit a minute'.
It's like a sauna for your soul.
We get to drench ourselves in love.
Several many times a week people comment on my joy.
They say,
"I want whatever you took this morning."
or "Where does all that energy come from?"
or "How can you be so happy every time I see you? It's electric."
Facts?? I decided to make my life an immersive experience.
I set the intention to be aware.
Daily I throw open the doors to my creative soul and create...moods.
Moods of gratitude - by going out to touch nature and giving it my awareness.
I'm not forcing.
I'm letting.
I'm joining in on life.
In it's soft and subtle way, nature soothes. So, I just...go outside..and let it's calming energy flow over me. .
Everytime I 'sit a minute', I'm plucking from peace the leaves.
I'm brewing bliss.
I let gratitude in...
by noticing the way my body shows up for me.
Like, my feet...they carry me to places.
Sometimes, they carry me to places that I want to go and other times, place that I don't want to go.
But they carry me... steady... as best they can.
And I get there.
I've seen good and bad with my eyes..but I HAVE eyes to see.
I've had happy and sad times, and my body has shown up for me every day.
With these thoughts, I'm brewing gratitude.
I draw faith towards me by hearing words from GOD.
In scripture.
In earth.
And more often than not-
from the shea buttered lips of my good sista girls.
Sisterhood. is another immersive experience.
I highly recommend it.
Within my sisterhood, I can feel the love wrapped-
no, thats not the right word.
Dipped?
Nope.
DRENCHED... in a celebration type love.
We see each other and we feed on each other.
Just like soul food.
We be like soul food.
This all started with one light of awareness that I turned on within myself
and slowly, as my eyes began to adjust,
I saw that I was a factory of experiences.
I shifted from living other peoples creation and visions of my life.
I began to build my own.
And with that very large revelation...
joy is home-brewed.
When I embraced my divinity as a GOD child
who is destined and designed to create...
I was set loose.
That's when I woke up to love.
I shimmered with the excitement of knowing myself as a creative,
and my life as a canvas for my soul.
Now, that's a vibe!
So, go ahead sista girl - be a mood!
Be a WHOLE mood!!
