To Know Me.... You'd know..

As I'm continuing on my 30day journey, different areas of my life are being healed.. I've always taken pride in who I am but I'm amazed at who I am becoming. I'm appreciating Cheneka. Sunday while in service, my Pastor, Bishop Murphy asked us to hug 3 people and to repeat a mini blessing/ prayer. 

As I hugged the people placed in my area, someone said to me, ( I'm

Somewhat paraphrasing)," Can you ever be serious"? In the moment I laughed it off but it has stuck with me up until this moment. And not because I was offended( by absolutely NO means) but because while I'm on my 30 day cleanse, I'm reminded of all the times I was always super serious. As I live in this moment, day to day one of my self given tasks has been to smile and appreciate life MORE. Yes, moments in our lives require different reactions but some moments are just what they are. Either a teachable moment or a lesson learned. 

Day to day while running my business, I encounter numerous parents( mainly single moms). As I've accepted that I've been placed in most of their lives as an outlet, I've also accepted that a smile and a gentle chuckle is a definite pick me up for some of these parents. 

We never know what a person is experiencing. Just last week I was a walking sac of tears but the gentle words and support from 2 great people, kept me going. They cracked jokes, shed light and ultimately reminded me that I was better than what I was experiencing at the moment. 

My Lovies, for others to know us and appreciate us, we have to remain truthful to ourselves. My challenge is that you'll be surrounded by amazing people who bring out the silly side of you. Life is more than a serious face and going to work everyday. Life is lessons, honesty and growth.  Chose to smile each day and show up as yourself. Not who others perceive you to be.  And in return, the world will have no choice but to accept who you truly are::: YOU!!
