I am a Virtuous woman

I am a woman, independent and smart.

A virtuous woman.

I love family, yes, I fend for those I love.

I am an independent woman, full of life and dignity.

He came into my life, indeed I love his company.

He's not my competition nor my servant,

he is the one I love, together we will complete each other.

I am a virtuous woman.

We come from a different culture, country, and background,

Yet we love to love.

I am willing to serve and to be serve.

I am an independent woman,

Like a merchant ship, I am full of goods,

I provide for my world in grace and love.

Full of insight and foresight,

I am independent minded.

My soul is at rest.

I guide my tongue and slow to speak.

I am a virtuous woman.

I extend my hands to the poor and needy.

I am free willed and useful to the glory of the universe.

I am full of wisdom and understanding,

My heart is full of kindness and compression to all.

I love you because that is all I know how to do

I am a virtuous woman.

In honour I speak to all great or small.

I watch over the way of my household and does not spend my time in idleness.

I am a blessing to all.

I am an independent woman.

Virtuous in all I am.

Whoever find me should keep me in the highest place.

I am worth far above rubies.

The hearts of those around me safely trust me.

I am a virtuous woman.

Love after Love

The time will come when, with elation,

you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror,

and each will smile at the other's welcome.

and say, sit here, Eat.

You will love again the stranger who was yourself.

Give win. Give bread. Give back your heart

to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored for another.

who knows you by heart.

Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photograph's, the desperate notes,

peel your own image from the mirror.

Sit, Feast on your life.

Derek Walcott, "Love after Love"

Gossip

My name is Gossip.

I have no respect for justice.

I maim without killing.

I break hearts and ruin lives.

I am cunning and malicious and gather strength with age.

The more I am quoted, the more I am believed.

My victims are helpless.

The cannot protect themselves against me because I have not name and no face.

To track me down is impossible.

The harder you try, the more elusive I become.

I am nobody's friend.

Once I tarnish a reputation, it's never the same.

I topple governments and wreck marriages.

I ruin careers and cause sleepless nights, heartaches and indigestion.

I make innocent people cry in their pillows.

Even my name hisses.

I am called Gossip.

I make headlines and headaches.

Before you repeat a story, ask yourself:

Is it true? Is it harmless?

Is it necessary?

If it isn't, don't repeat it.

FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOURSELF

There comes a time in our life when we want to be appreciated and love.

But how do you expect someone, anyone to fall in love with you when you are not in love with yourself? As a matter of fact, there is no crime in you loving yourself. Loving oneself is the greatest reward that anyone can give themselves and the world. By loving yourself, you will find it easier to love those around you and those afar. A text in one of the oldest book in the word stated that "one should love one's neighbour as you love yourself." In other words, you will never be able to love anyone around you, meaning your sibling, husband, boyfriend, children, friends, colleague etc, if you have not first love yourself. Loving yourself is not a van act nor is it egoistic, however, it is an act expected of you by the universe.

In our modern society, one of the common set back to loving ourselves is unforgiveness, others can be lack of trust, greed, incontentment and the list can go on and on. The question is, why hold on to something that does not produce additional effect to your living? Why hold on to an act of yester years when the world around you is rapidly changing for the better? Why give someone the best part of your golden years only to wake up one day to find out that they did you look after it in anyway? That's what happens when you hold on to unforgiveness - the person your are holding to, goes on living while you keep blaming them and when you finally wake up and approach them, their usually reply goes like this, " I didn't remember that I did this or that." Therefore, holding on to things or someone can only be detrimental to you and not the person. In the future, when someone does anything that displeases you, confront them immediately ( I don't mean rudely) but tell them how you feel or forgive them immediately and move on with your life.

You are the best thing that can happen to you. You are the love that your are searching for, you are the hand that needs to huge you and comfort you. Don't let anyone or anything rob you form that. You are your first love!

Today, after reading this blog, set time aside for yourself. Find out what is it that has stopped your from loving yourself. Find time to reflect, forgive everyone or anything that has hurt you in anyway. Forgive yourself for dwelling holding on to un-forgiveness all these days or years. Give thanks to the universe that at this point in time - You have been given the opportunity to let go of all the pain and sorrows that you've been holding on to. Give thanks that you have been given a second change to start a new page of falling in with you.

Be ready to receive the goodies that the universe is sending you. All your expectation will be rewarded to you. "For the expectation of the upright shall not be cut short." You will shine again, after all we are all children of the universe, I am only important because you are.. Love yourselves with all that you are and have, for it is your God given right.

Remember, "Life and death are in the power of the tongue." Whatever you are going through keep smiling and speak life in all things.

May your day be as bright as the sun and as happy as king.

Our Deepest Fear

Our Deepest Fear

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are younot to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." by Marianne Williamson

My Soul, My Rest

`Tis I who love to love you

`Tis I who seek to be with you,

`Tis I who hope for freedom.

Freedom I said, yes, freedom.

I long for you day and night,

I called to the skies and the moon.

I looked beyond the walls.

Freedom, I called to you!

I need you, I love you.

`Tis I who seek you.

My freedom, my love,

Freedom, I called to you

Freedom, yes, freedom.

Freedom of my soul,

`Tis I who seek to love you.

Your Soul in Safty

What says you, O mighty one who seats in the corner of the road to hike those that pass by?

What says you that wake up in the morning with no hope of the day?

What says that child in their innocence who choose not to be born and the bearing ignore their cries?

What say you father that left the mothers on their own to fend and care for their young?

All of you whose eyes are closed not noticing the event of the day?

You pass by with your eyes at the back of your heads,

Not notices the event of the day.

They cry out day and night but you have drawn far away from them;

There voices have gone because of wiping, their hope vanished like dust in the sea,

What hope is left for them none but an empty breeze?

What says you that look upon them as nothing? You have harden your heart towards them?

You set out to eat the very fabric of their beings .

What says you that cry out justice justice but you hold it so tight to your own comfort?

Their eyes look up to you only to be dropped again in fear and discomfort;

Your justice is not justice for you hold it too tight to give away,

What says you that say comfort to them but with not comfort?

You say peace and give out war'

You say health and distribute sickness, you torment them day and night.

What says you that create? Or you claim to have created all things

What says you when the father leave and the mother is destroyed, children are left to fend for their living, the young look after the young,

For all the adult have gone far from them.

What says you now? You claim to have created it all and said all things are yours.

Yet the children whom you claim to have given to them dies and perish for no fault of theirs,

What say you when the mighty man comes in and possesses all that the poor man has gather?

When he open up his sward and piercing through the very fabric of their bones?

Even the words of his mouth is blade and fire killing the children all around them.

What says you that bring out the sun to shine on us and the moon that calm the day?

Have you close your eyes on us - have you giving your authority to the mighty man to destroy?

What says you that has shown so many mysteries in time past

Have you walk away from us?

Does our cries mean anything to you?

Perhaps you have stopped!

You closed all business with us,

Therefore the mighty man has taken authority into his own hand to dominate the poor and rape them off their bread,

Where is the mysteries that you talk?

Have you give your power over to them with the sword?

No one will defend the poor and their cries will return to them

Because he that claim to have been the creator has stopped

Has the creator stopped so that creation take upon itself to rule and control?

Keep your cries to yourself go out and face the mighty man,

He will pierce the fabric of your flesh and make you a byword to all, but not for long,

Find a strategy and keep your soul - do not allow him to touch your soul,

Keep it safe let him pierce your flesh for he will soon get tired and look for anther flesh.

When his go his way,

You will arise and pick up your soul,

Keep it safe, protect it, keep it tightly in control,

You will pick it up again and range,

The mighty man will soon fall, he will get tired of flesh and move one,

But You, you will arise and life up your soul

You will run with mighty power and understand because you know all thing,

The mighty man is for a season but you will be for eternity.

What says you mighty man who has been feeding on the flesh of the poor?

So that you build up empire that are unsustainable,

Look around you those whom you ones pierce and ridicule are now standing,

They are strong and powerful,

There soul where always in place,

You eat their flesh but never touch their soul

They will stand and rule in truth and justice
