Powerful creatress, living in the matrix

I am so powerful and I am the one I've been waiting for. 

This is my mantra.

I'm so thankful Uma shared this song with me. I just LOVE it. Everyone struggles with their own inner battles. For me, it's the sense of fear of just what I am capable of that holds me back at times. Why is that? I fear failure I suppose, but even more I fear what great success brings. What happens if I really achieve all that I seek to? Will I be able to celebrate in the moment, to accept all the blessings, and know that I am the creator of such happiness? 

we will all manifest

we will all rise

raising our consciousness

opening our eyes

I'm sending this one out to all the powerful women out there!  I love the lyrics and want to share them with you! Sometimes we just need to be reminded of our own strength!

"Existence” Lyrics
Shylah Ray Sunshine feat Mother Medicine

ohhh ohhh ohhh ohhh
stepping out of righteousness
recognizing oneness
no separation of you and I of that of this
we are playing one game
everyone wins the same
I allow all things to exist today
I allow all things
to exist in their own way
I exist in my own way
and I am
powerful creatress
living in the matrix
source of all wisdom
endless bliss queendom
we will all manifest
we will all rise
raising our consciousness
opening our eyes
we can do anything as long as we try
who ever said that the mirror was the sky
I have a dream and I’m living it everyday
learning not to ever feel scared and knowing
oh and I’m reaching in myself and
oh the smile what I am feeling
know that you are God
and God is love
when you pray do you pray to above
when you pray do you pray below
when you pray you can pray to yourself
because you know that
you are so powerful
you are the one you’ve been waiting for
you are so powerful
you are the one you’ve been waiting for
just want to be aware of
nothing to be scared of
we have a relationship with spirit
gotta find the instinct
intuition don’t think
you are living this life alone oh no
we were born into a world so blessed
we’ve got to slow down and not move too fast
we have been given the gift of life
blessed are these days and sacred our these nights
oh and I’m reaching in my soul
oh just I know that I knew I know
we are a part of a circle of family
and how long will it take for us to see
and how long will it take for us to be
and what more could we possibly think we need to speak
we are so powerful
we are the ones we’ve been waiting for
we are so powerful
we are the ones we’ve been waiting for
I am so powerful and
I am the one I’ve been waiting for
I am so powerful and
I am the one I’ve been waiting for
I am so powerful
I am the one I’ve been waiting for
I am so powerful
I am the one I’ve been waiting for
I am so powerful
I am the one

A spiritual cup o'joe this morning

Check out my new blog-spot. We finally got our patio set after finally getting our backyard landscaped. I sat here this morning after the boy went down for a nap and it was... pure peace. The wind chimes and leaves blowing in the wind, warm coffee and just me alone with my thoughts. Someone pinch me!  Since I'd like to keep up the blogging, I think I'll carve out a moment here each morning for yoga and writing. Summer only lasts so long so I'd better take advantage. Plus...

I've been doing some soul searching this summer. Some spiritual journey is taking place within and all I know about it yet is that it's just. the. beginning. I haven't really told anyone but God about these feelings and yet here I am putting it on a blog post. This is part of the process, to help me feel it through. To help me filter through all the universe is bringing into my life and what I'm giving back in return. Over the years I've lost touch with spirituality and I think that is because I always try to define it, what is my religion and what are the bones of it, instead of just going with my intuition. What are the beliefs in our home? What do we stand for, but more, what do we DO and how do we live? Church was a part of my life growing up but it is not where I go to feel spiritual and to bring God in my life.  I believe in God and I want to deepen my faith and foster spiritual growth so that I can share that with my son and teach him what I know to be true in my heart. A long time friend, Uma, sent me a link to a song today, here it is.  It was just what I was seeking and helped me get to a place I've been trying to find again. One lesson I have relearned as of late, is that if you call to God, God will hear you. It's all up to you if you are open and ready to receive the response.

So, are you listening?

Day 3 - 30 day challenge

Phew, it has been quite a day! I have spent the day right here in front of my computer - working on my online design portfolio. It really takes SO long to gather all of the work you created over the years, convert and size files, to put it out on the great wide web. Still, it was a fun day! It's been too long since I spent so much time with my mac in one sitting.

Highlight of the day:

Fixing up my design portfolio! 

Sneak Peak here...

Low-light of the day:

Sneezing after putting on fresh mascara! Dang it!!! Mascara fail!
