It's Already Been 10 Days Since My Last Post, & I've Experienced A LOT Of Awesome Changes Since Then! Honestly It's Hard To Believe That I've Had So Many Exciting Events Take Place In Such A Short Period Of Time... From Officially Finding The Perfect Location For My Wholistic Retreat Center In Midtown Detroit & Shopping At The Brand New Whole Foods DETROIT, To Finally Having DIRECT Personal One-On-One Communication With My Spirit Guides (As Well As Communication With The Guides Of Others); I Can Truly Say I've Had An Absolutely AMAZING Last 10 Days!!!!!
I Pray That Your Last 10 Days Have Been Just As Awesome As Mine!!!!! (^_^)
Peace & Love,

Hello, Again! (^_^)
It's Been Awhile I See, Apparently I Haven't Blogged In About Two Years! I Can Honestly Say, It Seems Like It's Only Been A Few Months... Time Seems To Fly Past Me Nowadays! Long Story Short: I've Gone Through A LOT Of Changes Over The Last Few Years, & I Have No Intention Of Slowing Down Anytime Soon! In Fact I'm Looking To Keep Picking Up The Pace! The Only Difference This Time Around Is That I Actually Plan To Include YOU, Finally!
I Mean Sure, I Started This Blog Back In 2010 With The Goal Of Posting Every Personal Life Event Relevant To The Advancement Of My Greatness, But Then The Reality Of That Plan Set In... Doubt Being One Of My Largest Obstacles! For One Thing, Who Was Actually Going To Be Interested In My Life & What I Was Going Through?! Not To Mention The Fact That I Kinda Felt Like I Was Pushing Myself Into This "Grandiose" Stature Of "Greatness" That Other's Might See As Me Trying To Say That I Was Better Than Them...
Au Contraire, In Fact I've Been Battling With Fairly Low Self-Esteem For The Majority Of My Life! Sure, I KNOW I'm Smart, Beautiful, Loving, Caring, & Talented Beyond Belief! Though At The Same Time I Often Doubt My Ability To Win Other's Over; Most Likely Due To The Way I Was Treated During Most Of My Childhood, Teen, & Even In More Recent Years! So My Real Thinking Behind "My Journey To Greatness" Is In Fact Just A Positive Affirmation That "I Am Destined For GREATNESS", & In No Way Is It Meant To Put Down Anyone Else! We Are All Destined For Greatness, Yet It's Up To Each Of Us To Decide Whether Or Not We're Up For The Challenge!
Needless To Say, Achieving Greatness Is In The Eye Of The Beholder & I Encourage Everyone To Seek Out The Path To What They Truly Believe Greatness Is! Though I'd Like To Add That In My Opinion, Most Of The Concepts Of "Success &/Or Greatness" That We're Shown Through Our Mass Media & Entertainment Avenues Is Not True Success Or Greatness... It Typically Shows A Majority Of Negative Behavior In A Positive Light, Brainwashing Most Into An Ideal That Bad = Good! Commonly Translating To The Idea That: Violence, Exploitation, Self-Destruction, Greed, & The Pursuit Of Absolute Power Should Be Put Ahead Of That Sinking Feeling In The Pit Of Your Soul/Stomach That "Something Isn't Right Here"! Believe Me, I Could Go On Forever About Things Like This, But This Wasn't Supposed To Be A Sermon, Just A Posting Letting You All Know That I've Returned & Plan To Be More Active Than I've Been In The Past!
Bottom Line: I Have Been Changing For The Better! My Eye's Are On The Prize & I Refuse To Continue Allowing Doubt To Hinder My Progress! From Now On I'm Working To Live A Fearless Life, I'm Finally Ready To Just Be Myself & Not Worry About Whether I'm Ruffling Someone Else's Feathers Or Not! I've Sat On The Sidelines Far To Long, It's Time For Me To Get Off The Bench & Win This Game Called Life! I Know I'm Here To Help Enlighten Other's, Yet I Have To Be Willing To Shine My Own Light & Lead By Example!

So Without Further A Due:
HERE I AM WORLD, WATCH ME SHOW YOU HOW TO SHINE!

If the Internet and TV didn't exist, what would you spend most of your time doing?
Well, I Barely Watch T.V. Anymore (Though I Do Have A Lot Of Shows I Love) & I Typically Don't Spend Much Time Online (Unless I'm Working Or Really Have Nothing Better To Do)..... So I Figure The Only Major Difference Would Be That It Would Be Harder For Me To Work from Home!!!!!

The Comments I Left On Care2.com's "Aging Parent? Book Giveaway!" Article Today
Although I'm Interested In Reading This Book, I'm Not Sure If I Agree With The Authors' Interpretations Of Lao-Tzu's Original Work..... While I Find His Words Inspirational, I Find Theirs Slightly Depressing..... I'm A Strong Believer In The "Law Of Attraction" (B.K.A. "The Secret") & Have Been Using It To Help My Mother (Who Is Mentally & Physically Ill, To The Point That I'll Be Her Guardian Next Month).
She's Suffered From Mental Illnesses Her Whole Life, Though She Wasn't Diagnosed Until Her Early Twenties..... From There She Went Down Hill & Her Health Quickly Followed Suit! She's Now Nearing Sixty & Considering The Fact That Doctors Haven't "Fixed" Her Yet, I Decided: I Will!!!!!
Since I've Started Teaching Her "The Secret" She's Begun To Slowly Make Progress & I Believe She's Finally On Her Way To Being Truly Healthy (Both Mentally & Physically)!!!!! Up Until Now, Her Biggest Problem Has Been That She's Spent So Many Years Listening To & Believing All The Negative Comments/Diagnosis Of Doctors/Family & Friends, That It's Been Virtually Impossible For Her To Believe In Herself.....
I Know For A Fact That If I Just "Accepted" Her The Way She Has Been, She Would Have Just Continued To Deteriorate..... But Now For The First Time In Nearly Four Decades, My Mother Is Happily Looking Forward To The Rest Of Her Life (Instead Of Dreading It)!!!!!
