Lessons Confirmed

Ok, ok. Enough writing ALL about how life finds us even if we don't look. Today I felt necessary to get right down to the nitty gritty. I know why this is, besides it being time, and I have dual emotions about it. It makes me recall the lessons learned and now at a later point in my life lessons that are confirmed.

 During my corporate career I experienced many different things and to best many different people. Although most of it didn't look to be favorable it was truly working in my favor. The most notable thing I remember though is my last subordinate "relationship". I use quotations because I found it increasingly difficult to relate to this manager towards the demise. Nonetheless, I gained a great deal and the memory is indelible. It added to me something, that I feel, no other opportunity will ever be able to justifiably add. Integrity above all things and professionalism even when I didnt want nor had a desire to be so.

When I moved to Houston I was ecstatic about the novelty of it all. It all seemed so enchanting and wonderful but of course I know it was just that the novelty and I hadn't allowed reality to set in. When I did, I was sorely dissapointed but not so much in what I witnessed but what I would yet to witness.  Don't label me wrong, I have had some priceless encounters here and am looking forward to building on those to create what Marcus Garvey talked about.

Here is the deal, good people. We live in a "world" where we are unfortunately judged by much less than character. Most things appear valuable that really are liabilties to us and our families but we buy into them anyways. Instead of investing in the things that propel and solve us we adopt those methods and things that very often worsen our conditions.

I was taught when there is something up for grabs that I should show up and talk to people about it. To me it sounded like

Celestial Position

I just received a call from my good friend/business partner. In less than 3 hours she will be a registered patient at Memorial Hermann hospital and await the induction of her first born sun. I called her earlier in hopes of giving her a pep talk that it turns out she didn't need. Her and I both share the same sun sign, Scorpio, so when I told her that the moon would be entering into our sign this evening she gestured relaxation just a bit and laughed.

As you may have guessed already, her sun will too be a Scorpio. What a treat! I know because that is the same relation my youngest, soon to be middle, sun and I share; a birthday 2 days apart and personalities that are insanely similar.It's deLIGHTful to me because I am forced to reflect on who I am daily through his personality and character. I am instinctively aware of his emotions and abilities through those of my own and I can say after almost 8 years of loving him like I do I have gained a great deal of knowledge at his hands that is simply irreplaceable.

What's the message of duality here? It's simply that celestial position is alive and well in all of our lives. No great need for maps rigorous planning or notifications from others. When we trust and believe that we are able to manifest greatness naturally in our lives every"thing" lines up in our favor.

I invite you to learn something about yourself thru the natural process of acquaintance today. Whether it be with a friend, family member or even a household pet the benefit should be regarded all the same. Sit back and watch the beauty of celestial position and how it's been placed over and working for you for some time now. O, and don't forget to check out the full moon's splendor tonight as well.

To Know the unknown

Last week I got an invitation from someone whom I consider a friend. The appeal of the event was to a brown bag luncheon that would outline opportunities in the not-for-profit sector. Of course I found this intriguing not just because of the content but because of the "other" favorable circumstances that I could possibly encounter by attending. As I waddled into the event late, which I despise almost more than anything else, I was elated to discover the group had not begun. It was small and quaint, just like I like the learning environment to be. Personal, in fact and I was comfortable. After being greeted by a young lady who was membered a part of the sponsoring organization of the event I sat prepared to take copious notes.

The round table introductions were similar to me. "Let's go around the room and introduce ourselves and tell everyone why we are here today". I had participated in this exercise a million times in the corporate world, my sorority and even mentoring programs I served in.  This time was different and I knew I was going to share details with these "strangers" that may change my life entirely.

After I told my story of how I relocated here for one thing and ran into pregnancy instead the conductor congratulated me on birthing both a dream and a child. We moved on. When I heard him say "In this country, we are kinda an experiment" it shone down on me that this was no ordinary round table discussion this was just that, an experiment. One that would better me that day and force me to do a little more about my goals and desires for my life.

How could I have known that I would get something from this meeting? How is it that my inner self chose this event over a ton of others in the last couple of months. Well for one I was growing bigger by the day and my energy hadn't been up to par since I was impregnated but on this particular day I was so happy my higher self made me get dressed and go. I got several confirmations and even made some great contacts. I was pleased and it was well with my soul.

What's the duality here? When you know the unknown you are universally informed and your eternal power becomes limitless. We sometimes need to be reminded of such in the "miscellaneous" life happenings so we can move forward like the forces we are. Its knowing the unknown will greet us and serve worthy at times where we least expect it and transform into greatness when we apply ourselves.

Join me in knowing the unknown today. I promise you a surprise like no other.

Gotta start somewhere...

So why not here? Seems ideal to me.

Last evening I conducted a conference call for one of the groups I participate in and run along side two other individuals. One of the individuals joined in on the call. In addition to that person, 2 others dialed in. Not much of a conference huh? I thought so too but my wishful thinking always seems to prevail. I am glad it did. My first mind was proved right.

Though my intent on the call was to "brow beat" some of the newer members that had confirmed attendance and didn't show,  I realized  later after I got off the call  that I had gotten a sense of calm, some relief and felt good about the direction of the group with the same old 4 faithful members. I valued the input of the 4 individuals who were on the call much more so that I probably would have if I had 20 or even 30 other RSVP's. What is the lesson in duality here? Commitment.

Commitment is a strange animal. It has the ability to birth and bury one's ability. It has the fortitude to leave behind regret or instill lasting satisfaction. Assuming most things have this capability, commitment is different simply because of its unique power and position especially if poised with the right timing and a positive team.

So what are effective means of determining the right timing and if you have a positive team? Of course, asking yourself the basic questions that only you can answer is the perfect place to start. Once identified the plans begins to "magically" fall into place and then and only then can you reaffirm your commitment along the way.

I have spent years trying to identify what is worthy of my commitment when in fact all I really needed to do was take a look around. I see now what perhaps I failed to look for then.

With that, won't you join me in making a new commitment to evaluate your current commitments today? Gotta start somewhere....why not here?
