Peace & Blessing Readers, Poetry Siblings and Poetry Fam:
You know it is just so amazing how someone inspires you in ways they know not. And for that very simple thought, I can't express enough that the simple things matter the most... TRULY, they do... My Sis, the (SEQ) Self Esteem Queen, sent me a message to check our her latest blog, and she has been on my case about blogging and to continue posting my thoughts and inspirations to share with others, but after reading her blog I immediately had to script this blog. Then not long after I received a call from one of my poetry siblings.. You know the most high know exactly when you need a word of encouragement, when you just need to hear a sincere voice, or perhaps when you just need someone to tell you that you are loved and that you are not here by mistake. OK.. I am digressing a bit, let me get back on the journey I begin.. Sis spoke of all the obstacles we experience in life, be it good or bad, great or small, we must not question it, but instead, draw strength and never give up, never accept being a loser and accept failure as an option,, like one poet spits in his poem--- Failure is not an option,,, (poem by Tavis Brunson)... We must somehow see the lessons and overcome the spirit of defeat and rise up and beyond. Be it stressors that consist of illness, depression, finance, family scrutiny, religious judgment or the spirit of plain ole envy or hate, yeah I said the haters that are always on the road trying to bum a ride to our destination, we have to keep focus and surround ourselves around people who truly love us and have our best interest at heart. Not saying those that hurt you, repeatedly, you cease your love, but love them from a far, like my grandma use to say, love from a distance... Because with those negative forces charging and with your guard down, this opens wounds over and over again that are not accurately able to even heal... I too have experienced that ridicule directly and indirectly from family and friends and I never can heal because that scab can never heal if someone continuously picks as it, scratching it,,, OK you see where I'm coming from with that scenario... But I have a new outlook on life and perspective of my life its simply all about ----Self Love and Self Preservation... Since I have reintroduced myself to myself I am finally being true to me and it feels pretty good... I advise you to do it if you haven't done so.... Simply DO YOU! that's my motto...
The most high is just awesome and I can't research enough synonyms to describe his greatness, because he places people in your life and it is all in his perfect design. I am a perfect example of an individual that can proclaim my closest family members are not that of blood relation and I am just so thankful for them.. Truly if it had not been for them, I would have lost my mind, and perhaps even attempted to leave this earth. To some it may seem quirky or completely strange, but there is one thing that brought us all together and it was simply POETRY... Yeah, we all share the love of it, and within that circle, multiple venues and poetry parties and road trips and poetry cyphering I found family and true friends. They know who they are.. And yeah I guess you, the reader maybe wondering why is she saying all this,, but here's the point, I am and have been blessed with family that loves me and seems like they always call right on time.. We share that bond.. It's not by chance that I get call to say hi,, how are you... what's goin on with you... nah, this isn't a coincidence.. At times when I felt I was on the verge of bursting into tears, my phone rings or I get a txt from one of them, that says, "you know what, you're important"... It's at times like these when I have just had the thought I mean nothing and nothing I do matters... Its at times when I feel like no one loves, me, my sis will send me a txt and just say--- "Sis I love you"... Its at times when I get a txt that starts my day with simply two words-- "Good morning".. And these are all the simplistic natures of some of my greatest blessings...... These things matter so much, when you surrounded by haters, those that question your uniqueness and quest for greater and better things.. to challenge the things that you deem endless possibilities... I am truly thankful and blessed.... And sis, this post you, inspired... You are amazing and oh what a blessing you have been to me...
To all the readers, be inspired, inspire someone, encourage someone and tell them something simple that matters much.. like... I Love You, You Are Important... Nothing Is Impossible, Follow Your Dreams...
Until my next post Endless Blessings, Prosperity & Happiness
1Luv,
Monique "1MOpoeticSoul" D.
