A Second Chance for Closure

02/18/01:59

This moment really took my breath away. When I was 11yrs old my stepfather molested me on the way to and from this agency.  When we arrived they were closed so I never made it inside as child.  It was the worst car ride of my life.

But it’s funny how this second chance was presented to me.

I was at work when I was invited to a comedy show by this guy. He handed me his card and suggested that I should come out to his comedy show.

As I glanced at it, I noticed it had the name” William-Reynolds Agency” on the bottom line of this business card.  I couldn’t believe it.  I just assumed that this business would be closed after all these years.

Once I found out they were still open I promised myself that I would finally make it inside.   I just wanted to be step inside just for a minute as I was suppose to do that morning years ago.

So on June 5, 2015 I walked in the door of the agency FREELY.  I was completely overwhelmed as I just stood there in the middle of the floor.  A young woman named Mrs. J. Jackson greeting me with “How may I help you?”  I replied”  I just want to stand here.” I’m trying so hard to keep from crying.  She then replied without hestitation” I will stand with you then” as she wrapped her arms around.  I cried and cried.  I couldn’t hold it anymore.  Because I finally made it in.

Hey Survivors,

Be confident in the love you give.

It is a direct reflection of who you are to the world.

It’s a responsibility that only the strong can carry.

I will take my life and share it in your life so you can be the light of the next life you come in contact with today.

Show everything.

Transfer the apparent scarred parts so they can be seen.

This is where life is introduced to the lesson.

Be confident in the love you give.

It is a direct reflection of who YOU are to the world.

With Hugs and Love,

Lakell

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for allowing me to see and live in today.  I feel the joy of this day already in my heart.  I believe you have great things in store for me.

I request out loud my silent prayers for a healthier temple while living the full-time entrepreneur life.  I am out growing my corporate job as you already know from my  moans and groans.  I am grateful for the experience of the valuable skills plus the steady paycheck.  I have grown and learned a lot.

Thank you for keeping the desires of my heart alive so I may live in them before they are fully revealed to me.  I will continue to work with a faithful heart in preparation for the next big move.

I surrender to your Will today Lord.  I accept the need to prepare for the plan you have for me with no complaints. I will stay focused, grateful and faithfully.

In you name I pray.

AMEN

My “Me” Time Friday

11/10/21:51pm

Hey Survivors,

I had a very necessary  “Me” day date with one of my favorite hairdresser this past Friday.  After working a long week of overtime I deserved every minute of this time away into myself.

Here is the result:

The best part of this day is how I felt after I made the day about me:)

What did you do for yourself today?

 

 

How do you rate your happy?

11/09/17:24

Hey Survivors,

Have you ever really took the time to sit with your emotions?  Do you know what your happy feels like and when you are living in it the most? If your answer is no, let’s see what we can do about that right now:)

I have learned that emotions have a life as well.  They can control you negatively or positively based on the decision you make after the feeling is executed.  It’s all up to you.

For me I have started becoming more aware of how I really feel due to me active involvement in daily journaling.  Journaling is so much more than just writing.

But that’s another blog for another day 🙂

Today I would like to discuss how you rate your happy.   Do you wait for someone to let you know if your happy or do you control your own happiness? Yes, No or maybe:)

Here is a mini journaling assignment I do to remind myself to live in the moment with my emotions right now.

Here is a sample of my journaling assignment for today:

I am happiest when my heart feels….

Excited

Protection

Nurtured

Fulfilled

Inspired

Acknowledged

Peaceful

The lesson I gained from today’s assignment is that paying attention to my heart determines how I show up in my today.

I challenge you to do yourself a favor tonight and complete this assignment.  Let me know if it was helpful for you as well.

So until next time…Remember you are alive to live!!

With Hugs and Love,

Pssst… Did you show up for your happy today?

Hey Survivors,

Gratitude to me is collection of thank- you’s given in advance or proceeding an kind unselfish gesture.

Being grateful sets us up for a solid foundation to accept more kindness.

When we celebrate the little things by remaining grateful we will always have unlimited abundance.

Why do you remain grateful?
