Procrastination is a major problem for me...
I am realizing more and more that procrastination is killing my dreams. But more than that procrastination is very powerful tool that my ego uses to keep me from evolving. I gotta move past this. I am working on back in to my SFM rituals. My goal is to do a releasing ritual in the next day or so. No time like the present but thanks to procrastination, I will wait to do it when I get back from the store. (LOL) At least I see it and can laugh. Seriously, I have to get this ritual done ASAP since we are in the waning moon phase.
My theory is that procrastination is a key indicator of people who are not walking in their power. I have to more to stand in my power and operate from that place consistently....Will do as my life depends on it.

Mother Musings of a Goddess: My work as mother is becoming more important
I homeschool my children and have done so since both of them started "school". Early on I didn't know what I was doing as I did not come from a home where we were homeschooled. All I knew was that I wanted children who loved to learn, could read, write and do math.
This morning I started pondering the start of our school year. I still have the same focus but in some regards, I see things with greater clarity because my children are revealing to me more of who they are in terms of their interests and talents. So, yes, I do want my children to be successful at developing skills that will allow them to learn or self-teach themselves anything. I do want them to be able to take and standardized test that they choose to take and excel at it. But more than anything, I want to find opportunities for them that will give them experiences that they remember for a life time.
I am the type of mother who looks at all offerings in my community. I try to not limit my children's experiences for any reason and this is because I really don't know what the future holds and so why not expose them to everything.
This morning I have been pondering our newly launched homeschooling year and this is what has come to mind: Finding opportunities for my kids is one of my main goals as a homeschooling mother. I look forward to seeing what I find.

Making sense of my journey as a person of African descent
The best thing we can do as people of African descent is to realize the truth of who we are. This is the GREATEST honor that we can bestow upon the memory of our ancestors. Lack of knowing the spiritual truths of who we are is keeping us in a state of insanity. TRANSCENDENCE is our way. We must TRANSCEND what the world has taught us about people of African descent and the continent of Africa. We must also TRANSCEND belief that our identity is Africa.
We MUST KNOW for ourselves that we are powerful beings who incarnated into the African consciousness in order to have a particular experience in the world. The greatest thing we can do is SHARE the beauty and wonder of Africa with everyone and not be stingy with it.
This is the beauty of the cultures and ethnicities of the world. Each is adept at sharing certain skills and cultural experiences. The problem is people believing they are their culture, their nation, their religion and forget that they are more than that. They are infinite souls that are here to express and share gifts and culture.
So yes in the body we do express Africa but we have to move beyond that in order for us to truly be free.

WISDOM 4 YOU: MIND YOUR MIND...you have no excuses if you read this...
We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far. ~Swami Vivekananda
Please do not blame anyone for what you presently see in your life. The truth is that you are co-creator of your reality. You think and feel and the power of the Universe produces results in your life based on your thoughts and feelings.
If you don't like what you see in your life, then think and feel differently. Sometimes that requires releasing unforgiveness or that you starting behaving in a different manner. It is all so simple though we like to make it complicated.
The bottom line is that you cannot blame anyone for your life because you are the powerful creator of it. Lack of knowing this truth does not exempt it from operating in your life. It is sad that most people don't know the truth and think that they have no power over their lives. BUT, if you have read this far, you no longer have any excuses for living a life less than what you desire. You now know and can start taking the steps to changing your mindset so that you can create the dream life that you desire.
Mind your mind!

Just Start Where You Are NOW...
Just Start Where You Are NOW...
Sometimes you cannot wait until you get to a certain place before you start. You have to just start where you are and move forward from there. Actually, this is the only way to get going because if you don't, you may find yourself stuck and waiting for something that may never happen: the right moment. Just start where you are right now and move forward on your goal from there. ~Tirra Olufemi Hargrow
