The Evolution

Good morning!! In my blog I tend to share my thoughts about my life, my window into the world with hopes that my tiny personal revelations may also help someone else. I call them musings, meditations and a few rants thrown in from time to time to detail the fine art of allowing oneself to evolve in a f.l.y., funky, faith-filled manner. What does that mean? Pour yourself a cup of coffee & I will be more than delighted to share with you...

Evolving in a f.l.y. manner ("fearlessly and fiercely loving yourself", sometimes I enjoy acronyms) for me is the capacity & willingness to allow yourself to grow & expand in every area of your life from a place that is fearless & fierce. Fearlessly & fiercely loving myself is an ongoing journey. With my newfound football terminology it is a personal play that is defensive & offensive driven. Meditate on those two...fearlessly & fiercely. Loving myself fearlessly is a defensive move for me.  Although it is a struggle sometimes, I must do everything to saturate my life with all things positive. I go on the defense by bringing in all manner of optimism via people I surround myself with, things that I read, the social media I engage in, etc. By doing this, I am "beefing up my defensive line" so to speak. Positivity builds a wall against fear. Fearlessly loving myself is a proactive choice at every intersection of my life. It is a challenge to love or be in love and fear at the same time. In fact, it is downright impossible. I take the offensive approach by fiercely loving myself at all costs. When faced with a choice to love another over myself, I choose me, all day, everyday.  Loving myself fiercely dictates that I place myself on the top of my priority list. That is evolution for someone like me. Oh the ways you can grow when you love yourself with those two f's....

Evolving in a funky manner means that I commit to never, ever again allowing myself to "fake the funk". I dedicate myself to live in, speak & deal in my personal Truth at all times. My funk frees me and fuels me because it is steeped in authenticity. Living from a place of the funky truth is liberating. You see the truth isn't always pretty, clean and fragrant, but it definitely is what it is. There is a sweet solace that comes when you can tell the truth and nothing but the absolute truth to yourself if no one else about how you feel, what you want, what you feel you deserve and where you are right now in life.  

Evolving in a truly faith-filled manner describes a life that I am so desiring to live, a life of faith. Experiencing a limitless existence in the "substance of things hoped for & the evidence of things not yet seen" is a daily walk. Its not for the faint at heart. Its not for the individual who must have all the answers at every corner. I lived in that space at different intervals in my life & it was the most exhilirating experience ever! My desire is to make faith my permanent residence. This is an evolution....
