Online blogging

I have truly gotten away from my blog. I've stopped it completely. I allowed time to get a way from me but I believe I need to get back to it.  My journey, like most journeys, has moved on like a storyline from a Charles Dickens book or maybe some Edgar Allan Poe poem. I'm not quite sure just yet. 

My growth is steady. My stubbornness has continued.  Acceptance is key to facing what is real and to walk in freedom.  I can't be free without an examination of self. I can't be free if I don't recognize the messes.  I can't be free if I don't admit to flaws.  I'm moving and living but I've still not arrived at the place of peace I know I need to be.

Gratitude will get me there.  The Blessings of God and his/her Universe are around me and I must recognize it all, in whatever shape or size.  I am Free and even more so, I am Blessed.  Gratitude must live in my heart at all times. 

So, will I return to my blog? Yes.  I think its necessary.  I still have my offline journal. I will use both.

Hello clevawords. I've missed you.

I take no great pride in saying this, I am merely stating a fact. It is not that I was born this way-rather, I was born into this male-dominated society, and consequently, from the very moment I began forming thoughts, they formed in a decidedly male-centered way. My "education" at home with my mother, at school, on my neighborhood playgrounds, and at church, all placed males in the middle of the universe. My digestion of the 1970s American popular culture in the form of television, film, ads, and music only added to my training, so that by as early as age nine or ten I saw females, includ...

Aquarius Rising - Authentically Me

Aquarius Rising - Sy Smith I'm not one to really get into Zodiac signs and yet I'm fascinated the astrological relationship to our spirits. I know we all still blame the moon for man's "lunacy". When I read about the sign of Aquarius, I'm taken by how much it does describe me. I'm not guided by astrology but I do recognize its connection to the Universe. Some don't realize how man used astrology throughout the bible as a guide for God's people. But this isn't about astrology and the Christian faith but me being the fabulous Aquarius female that I am. This is me, basically...READ ON Aquarius (The Sun is in Aquarius from approximately January 20 to February 18, depending on the year). One of the standout characteristics of those born under the Sun Sign of Aquarius is their unwillingness to follow the beaten track. With ...
