Book cover....CHECK!
Landing page being developed...CHECK!
It's exactly 30 days until my book launch. The excitement is growing and I feel it inside. I ate breakfast and lunch today....CHECK! Oh so important. I got to practice what I preach. I tell the folks I coach to take extraordinary self care, so I've made a pact with myself to do the same.
My sweet boyfriend came over yesterday and let me put my feet in his lap while he looked at television and I typed on the laptop. He wouldn't let me kiss him with my Tilapia and onion breath though. Got to show him where in the manual it says the boyfriend is suppose to let the girlfriend kiss him no matter what...lol.
It's those times that keep us grounded and sane. Love, light and positive energy. No drama. No negativity allowed. Nothing but staying open so that I can flow with where God is growing me to. When I'm not concentrating on all that I have to do, I actually feel like I'm walking on water.
You know that Bible story in the New Testament where the disciples are in the boat and fear Jesus walking towards them on the water. They think he's a ghost at first. But that daredevil Peter says to him,"If you are Jesus, bid me to come and walk on the water." Jesus simply answers, "Come." Who in their right mind, not knowing if it's Jesus or not, would get out of the boat? Most folks wouldn't.
I thought about that as I meditated today and talked with God about all that's happening around me. At first, I was lying in bed talking with him nonchalantly but something else took over and before I knew it, I sat straight up in the bed and with tears streaming down my face declared, "You told me when I was a child, 'Don't put me in a box. I'm too big for that.' " If You're outside the box, then I want to be too. Bid me to join you!! I don't want anything the box has. I don't want to be confined. I want to walk on the water with you. And I don't want to get back in the boat (limitation) unless you are getting into the boat too." I meant that thang, y'all. I meant it down to my very bones.
God is a GREAT BIG God. And I want his predetermined GREAT BIGNESS for my life. It's enough. I don't have to be like anybody else or covet what anyone else has. I don't have to measure my success by any other standard. If it rings true for me, then that's enough. Not everybody is going to be monetarily rich whether they employ me as their life coach or enroll in my coaching program. But if it's what is needed for them to fulfill their purpose in life, then nothing will be able to stop money from running after them, jumping them and filling their accounts. The wealth is to tap into your authentic core. You own unique sound. And I know I'm gifted to lead those who want to go. How that will manifest in your life, only God knows. This I do know though. You'll feel alive as you follow. The more attuned you become to that Knowing inside of you, that North Star, the more joy, contentment and satisfaction you'll have with your life. This is what I'm living and this is why I'm so excited. I'm listening, I'm staying true and when I feel myself deviating or being moved by my ego, I take a deep breath, check back in again and ask God for help so that I stay true to myself. I know the sound of my truest self. That's where the power lies!!!
