Greetings 2011! (Day 31)
My theme word for 2011 is OVERFLOW– an excess or superabundance. I want to birth/experience overflow in the key areas of my life- relationships, family, health, finances, lifestyle, work, and education. Living my life on task (purpose driven) this overflow becomes available and in turn flows over all that I encounter. My voice will be…

My Evolution! (Days 17-23)
Reset- to set again or anew. The 31 Days to Reset Your Life Challenge has been amazing in allowing me to truly connect with myself on a deeper level. There is no doubt that we are guided by principles and beliefs instilled in us early on that ultimately shape the person we are to become.…

Still Arriving!! (Day 15 & 16)
Write my eulogy? Hmmm… Although inevitable the very thought of death still frightens me. I have experienced tremendous loss in my short lifetime and still grieve from time to time. I just don’t want to deal with my reality. It’s so easy for others to offer condolences and words of comfort yet they ricochet off the knife impaled…

A Lovely Day! (Day 14)
I wake up to the smell of turkey bacon and sounds of someone in the kitchen preparing breakfast just for me. After morning meditation and reflection a quick glance at my to-do list reveals less than five things and no errands to run. I take the pooch for a walk around the neighborhood. I walk…

I Am! I Can! I Will! (Day 11)
How can a driven and ambitious person have any thoughts that would be limiting? Out of these three beliefs – I’m not good enough, I’m not important, and mistakes and failure are bad, I found myself identifying more with the latter. I have indeed experienced my share of mistakes in life, exercised poor judgment, and…

My Release! (Day 9)
Action is the initial step towards change. The assignment today was to choose a specific goal and perform a tangible and measurable action towards it. For my mental and emotional well-being, I simply let go! I let go, threw out, and rid myself of some things that reminded me of past hurts and tragedies. I…

Skyy’s Growing! (Day 8)
Briefly engaging in a twitter chat a few months ago, one of my followers and I discussed marriage and the lack thereof among African American women. We both concluded that many of us don’t know ourselves enough to know what we want or need and to truly discover this would require some soul searching- some…

My Life Map, My Vision (Days 6,7)

Wise Sitting on the deck of my quaint cottage overlooking Cape Cod, I am secluded a few weeks of every summer on Martha’s Vineyard writing until my heart’s content. I live on a sprawling…
