I really do not have any  particular thing to say,  or any specific topic to talk about this morning.  I am in a great mood.  I am drinking my ginger tea, with honey and a few cloves.  I feel good. It's about 4:30 a.m, and I wanted to share some of my mood with you.  

It is getting very cold, the weather is changing to accommodate the new season.  It will be raining and snowing heavily where I am beginning, I think on Sunday.  I am pretty excited.  I will be cooking comfort food, staying inside while all this change in the atmosphere takes place.  I will also be writing and recording.  I will definitely be in my space.

What will you be doing this weekend?  Is it cold where you are? Is the weather changing? This is great weather for making love, cuddling. This is considered cuffing season, right?  People actually do get into relationships for the season, and for the season only.  I am sure most of us are past that stage in our lives, but for some people, it's a lifestyle.  Don't get caught out there, falling in love for the season, and be single again when Valentine's Day roll around.  

I usually go to Walmart between 6 a.m and 7.  I prefer to shop early,  there is less contact with people, no lines and I can take my time and actually shop for a few things.  Well, this particular time, when I got there (And I never go to Walmart on a Friday either).  I went around 2:30 in the afternoon and this man followed me all around the store. I even did a small test, because sometimes, I love testing people.  (Don't judge me!) I did a small test to see if he would follow me to the bra section and he passed the lane up, but as soon as I turned the corner there he was, standing there waiting for me to say Hi, or something, I don't know.  Maybe it was a coincidence, but based on how he was staring at me, I felt as if he was following me.  Sometimes when people stare at me for over a minute, I stare back and say, hi or something, ya know, to break the stare. But sometimes people will stare and they won't even say anything, and that shit creeps me out. Have you ever had a complete stranger just stare at you and not even blink? 

Anyway, is it starting to feel like Christmas?  To me, it feels really weird and different. I can't quite put my finger on it.  I am happy and content, but I felt the same way in July, so it being the holiday season, just feels different to me.  Anyone else?  I am sure it's because of all the changes taking place known and unknown, There is a lot going on in the world and in our lives. My advice, just ride the wave.  Keep your head on straight and take care of your mind and heart. One thing is for sure, it will all change. Everything is changing and it's for the better because it's time.  You have to believe that a better day is right now.  Collectively, we can make the biggest changes, tackle the most difficult barriers. Together, we have the most power.  These old systems, paradigms, and old ways of thinking and existing are changing.  So, are you ready?  Are you ready?

It kind of reminds me of a song that I love, by a person that I love and admire, Prince.

Peace and Love, Lavidus

Prince- Let's Go Crazy! 

Dearly beloved

We are gathered here today to get through this thing called life
Electric word, life
It means forever and that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you there's something else
The afterworld
A world of never-ending happiness
You can always see the sun
Day or night

So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
You know the one, "Dr. Everything'll-be-alright"
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby
'Cause in this life things are much harder than in the afterworld
In this life, you're on your own

And if the elevator tries to bring you down
Go crazy, punch a higher floor
Woah

Peace & Love

Release...& Let Go

December is here.  It is again the end of another year.  Considering all the things are that are occurring on earth, if you've made it this far, you should have a lot to be thankful for.  If you are not in a place to feel any kind of gratitude, then you should change your attitude about where you are at this present moment.

Your level of gratitude determines your altitude.  The altitude of life, how far will you go, and what are you willing to give up to get there?  Where ever your "there" is. We all have different paths and journeys, sometimes we meet up temporarily, other times it's forever.  But, one of the most important lessons in life will be your ability to let go of the things, people, and places that no longer serve your highest good.  Even the leaves fall off when the seasons change.  Those leaves are replaced with flowers, and green leaves with vibrant colors to represent the new season.  What season are you in? And when it's time, will you be able to shed those old leaves and welcome your new season or will you drag it out?

Sometimes between seasons, we may get stuck in repeating cycles that cause us to question why we exist?  That cycle is meant to bring awareness to your habits and circumstances that you have manifested into your life that you claim you have no control over, and some we don't.  But we do have control over our thoughts.  We do have the power to change the direction of our lives, but we must be willing to clear up the fog and see things clearly and stand alone if necessary.

I used to find it hard to let go of people that I've loved. My loyalty was unappreciated and my love was seen as a weakness and as an emotion that should be taken advantage of.   When you love a person who does not have the ability to love you back, you will eventually be hurt by that person, situation,  or circumstance.  And they too will be affected by their own blind actions that will eventually lead them to the kind of love that they deserve.  That's one of the reasons why it's important to let go and to forgive so that justice can be served.   Anyway, I thought the more I loved him, he would finally see how great my love is, and finally see me for the loving, divine being that I am.  Then I realized,  everyone is not meant to see me and not everyone is meant to receive my love, so I stopped giving it away and gave it to myself, and that's when real love appeared.  That is when the magic started to happen.  People always ask me, why do I look so young? Why does it seem like I am not aging?  Well, my glow comes from my heart,  no creams, lipo, or magic potion, can make up for what is inside me.  And my contact with people is very limited....lol.

Learn to release and let go.  If it no longer represents the you that you are growing towards, the you that you are going towards,  the you that you have become, then let it all go.  Will, it be easy? No.  Will it be worth it?  Yes!  Be brave enough to change your story and start taking care of your heart.

Peace & Love

The Hyena's

Click the link below to follow along. Subscribe and share for the latest!

 The nature of a Hyena is of a scavenger.   

She will throw a lot of stones and show no hands.

She makes a lot of judgments, some of them unsound. Projection is her defense. But if you were to open her closet, the bones will fall out by the tons.

She is always there when you need her, but, show an inkling of independence or success and she will congratulate you to your face and plan your demise behind your back.

Do you have any hyena's in your life? Does any of this sound familiar to you?

Maybe this will help.  She was real cool at first, but then you start to notice the little things.  The sly comments, that indicated her jealousy.  The competition, that you didn't even know existed. And the biggest of all is her ability to be a copycat because she has no personality of her own.

Imagine being hated by someone who wants to be you, but hates the fact that you are you.  What? So once you become me, will you still hate yourself?  Will you hate my skin even more?

When she thought you were beneath her or on equal ground, you were the best of friends.  The moment you start to grow and change and become a better version of yourself and start to be what she thinks she is not, then you become an enemy.  She'll then go looking in the archives that they have stored up for many, many years as ammo.  Because now she has to do something drastic to bring you back down to her level of thought.  She needs you to feel low like she does.

But it never works, because as you have outgrown a lot of things and one of them is "People".  The battle she fights with you is really with herself.  Deep down she knows, she hasn't done the work.  She knows she can't compete.  Trust me, she knows.  And the truth of her reality will soon come to light.

Send love to the hyena's in your life, if you choose to keep them there.  Otherwise, let them dismiss themselves.  Be open to allow them to find themselves through you.  Do not interfere with their process of self-discovery.  When people come after you in malicious ways, for real and unreal reasons, let them.  They'll soon learn a valuable lesson about what it means to be accountable for your decisions.

 So, let those Hyena's hackle.  Have you ever heard a Hyena laugh or bark?  It's pretty damn hilarious. Remain authentic, remain focused and continue to give and receive love.

Peace and Love

Mental Flights.....(A Poem)

I woke up this morning and I was the Queen of England, so I went back to sleep.

The other day, I was the president, No power, so I went back to sleep.

I've traveled to the fertile lands of Zimbabwe just to plant a seed. I've made love in Dubai just to start a nation.

While in Figi, I dreamed of being in Japan. 

His hands stroked my body with endless intention.....Oh! wait that was a different flight.

While in Egypt, Cleopatra tapped me on the shoulder to warn me of the storm.

Kali is on the way, so get out of the way.

Center your heart around the love you desire

Cloak yourself with sovereignty and clear conscious

Let the fools run wild, soon they'll be tired.

Don't Stoop. Don't budge.  Don't Quit!  

I woke up this morning and I was the Queen of England, so, I went back to sleep.

Peace & Love

Somebody, Somewhere...in Paris.

No one really remembers or bothers people who they believe are Nobodies.  They are usually the people who are not in the limelight but receive a lot of attention.  They don't quite shine like the rest, yet you know that they are there.  Maybe they don't have a million dollars in the bank or a million followers, but you can't take your eyes off of them.

Maybe you have tried all kinds of tricks that have worked so many times before, but with these ones, you have to be beyond clever.  You have to be equipped to see into the future to anticipate their moves. She flows fluid like the water that she beholds.    You will have to be precocious in your pursuit, because nine times out of ten, she will see you coming, already prepared for the conversation in advance.

Who are these people?

They are the people who no one can truly size up because their transformations are unmatchable.  They are the people who can walk into a room and change the vibration.  They are the unknowns that you are so curious about.  They are the ones that come from the dark to capture all that is.  They are the true somebodies.   Listen, they would not bother you if you were not somebody. You are somebody that they are not!  Do not let anyone convince you otherwise.  If you were in a different body, the attention may not be so great, but it is your body, and essence that has them forever captured.  Oh, they can see now.

They are the ones that have slain all opposing factors in several battles known and unknown.  They rise and rise and keep rising until they are fully submerged into a new way of thinking and existing and you no longer recognize them, and you want to battle with an unknown adversary.

All you can do now is watch in disbelief.  Learn and admire this perfectly made unicorn. Catch her if you can.

Peace & Love

Lavidus.
