#ProjectMe: I am becoming a new person through working out
#ProjectMe Update: Up and at 'em this morning! Gonna get my workout on and then get ready to get back to teaching my Zumba and African dance classes. I am pondering the change that is happening in my mind more so than in my body now. I feel like I am becoming a new person. I often tell people that we have to become new to get the thing that we desire but don't yet possess. We have to energetically align ourselves with the goal that we are going for before we will manifest it. My mind is pushing out the stinkin' thinkin' (yes!!! I struggle with stinkin' thinkin'...lol) and embracing the truth of my value and focusing on what is most important in my life. In order for me to continue to make progress, it is becoming largely letting gold of the old, outdated and negative and stepping forward into the new, the positive, the truth. WHEW! I am really just not processing this. Wishing you a great day of workouts. I am about to get hammered and am excited about it! I am doing The Master's HammerandChisel Max Hammer Strength in TBB's Super Gym. Join me! Go to http://www.teambeachbody.com/?referringRepId=167648

Interesting moment of learning and confirmation
INTERESTING....Today I went to the Native American Powwow at Long Hunter State Park. I was sitting and chatting at a table with my friends when this old man, no top teeth, sort of scruffy looking sits down at the table. We don't think too much until he jumps in our conversation. He didn't talk to loudly so at first we are sort of inadvertently giving the stank face like, "What is he doing getting in our conversation?" but then realized that what he was saying was actually wisdom. He does this a few times and we just say, "Yes, sir. You are right," and continue on with our conversation. He finally looks at me and says something about how if you want to manifest something you have to have absolute belief and faith. I was like, YEP! He was on point. He mentions other dimensions and speaks of going beyond the seen to manifest the unseen and my friends and I are actually impressed at this point. He then gets up from the table and walks directly to me, puts his hand on my shoulder and says, "Be who you are supposed to be." My friends said that he threw up his hand sort of like, "Mic drops" or "nuff said". lol I was floored because I struggle so much with honoring the truest truth of who I am. I just couldn't believe that this man who could have spoken to any of us at the table zoned in on me. I feel so fortunate and affirmed.

Family Time is my Favorite Time
I have to say that nothing makes me happier than spending time with my husband and sons. I LOVE sitting around the house doing nothing in particular. We joke, we laugh, we talk about each other. We all try to not get thrashed by the younger son, who does not take folks eating his food without his permission or folks calling him out of his name lightly!
This is something that I want my descendants to know. FAMILY IS EVERYTHING! I do believe in building a tribe that may not have the same blood as me. But always, always stay close to your family. If your family is so bad that you can't stand being with them, then fix the problem. So much beauty will come from it as a result.
Alright, I am back to Labor Day Monday 2015 where we are chillllllllin' before getting back to our busy schedules.
PEACE!

Mama Musings: Older son is doing well
K1 made it through surgery just fine. They put screws in his humerus and his post-op has been great. I was terrified at the thought of him going through surgery and while he was in surgery something went wrong and the doctor coming out telling me that my son had died. However, the night before his surgery, a wave of calm came over me after I talked to my orisha, Yemoja. Then I found out a friend, who I trust, works for the company that runs the surgery center. Lastly, the anesthesiologist looked like my neighbor's brother, who we like.
Additionally, my son felt at peace though he was super nervous waiting for pre-op. The surger center staff was AMAZING and our doctor was wonderful. He was the same doctor who took care of K2's arm so I only expected great things from him.
Though my older son has a cast that we have to watch out for, life is feeling way more calm and normal. I am realizing that I have to find happiness whenever I can because I cannot wait for life to be perfect. Things could be so much worse for my son, my family in general. That alone is something to smile about. But even if the worst happens, I still have to find inner peace, joy and happiness.
Taking care of my body, mind, spirit and emotions is ESSENTIAL to being able to handle stressful situations that life hands out to you. It is one thing to be stressed and in control but it is altogether different when the stress stems from something for which we have no control. At that point our inner truth of greatness and abundance can kick in if we allow it and sustain us until the stressful chapter takes a turn for the better.
My sons are getting older. I know I have written things about them here or there but I never want to forget this stage of my life. Being a mother is one of the best parts of my life. I hate the bad parts but I wouldn't take nothing for this journey. I write this so that my sons know some of my mindset and they can share it with their wives and children . Maybe I will have granddaughters who will need to know how their grandmother thought regarding children and life in general. My mother died when I was 27. I had only just begun to even have a few questions so many of the things that I wanted to ask my mother, I never was able to do so. This is why I write so many journal entries and make Vlogs. In case I am gone and there are questions, perhaps I will have answered it somewhere in one of my posts.
Suffice it to say my nerves have been shot for the last week but it is nice to find a moment of calm. My next endeavor is to help my son keep his sanity while he is out from working out and to help him figure out the best way to rehab his arm back to 100% health....stay tuned for the next episode.

Mama Musings of Tirra Omilade
Welp! My older son broke his arm, which requires surgery to repair. My younger son broke his arm 5 months ago. You realize how much you love your kids in times like this because you feel so much emotion seeing your baby hurt. Both of my sons have shown a great amount of courage and patience, which gives me confidence that my kids are developing the ability to deal with stressful times well.
Being a mom, a parent in general, is full of so much. Giving thanks for these young men, these young gods, who give me an opportunity to love so deeply that even emotions of fear and sadness can arise when they are in distress.

Mama Musings: Babies really do grow up fast
My older son will be in the 10th grade this year. That is mind blowing but it is also blowing my mind that college prep is REAL! Looking into him taking the ACT and like, "DANG!" I don't know where he will go to college but the thought of it blows my mind. Babies really do grow up. Appreciate the good and "bad" times with your babies because like everyone told me, "They grow up in a flash." Giving thanks for the next 3 years with him and the next 6 with my younger son. #CherishingTheMoments
