This post won’t be long today and will be a little different than my previous post.
Please note, the majority of topics I choose to write about come to me from The Spirit. (God, The Universe, The Creator, Source).
When it comes to choosing the topics to write about, I sometimes pre-plan by brainstorming different things I’ve experienced and/or witnessed. However, sometimes my pre-planning doesn’t go as planned and ends up feeling forced. This is because it’s usually not a topic that Spirit wants me to write about at the moment or not at all. This may sound weird to some people but being Spirit led is why my blog exists at all, as my writing is indeed a spiritual gift.
For the last few months, I have been feeling like I have writer’s block and I haven’t uploaded any new blog post in a while or done any personal writing. Truth is, I haven’t been listening to Spirit for the last few months. I haven’t been in my healing or black girl magic bag like I’m supposed to and that’s because I have been allowing life to life me. Without going into details, in this human experience, one comes to know and understand that “life is indeed like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get.” Today, I had a moment and bit into the wrong piece of chocolate.
As I type, it is 4:25pm PST on Monday, July 10, 2023. After a day of “going through the motions” of this human experience, Spirit told me about five minutes before I started typing, “CHECK YOURSELF!” So, I said Self and Self said, “huh?” I said grab the laptop and start typing! Just like that, I knew it was time to write.
Honestly, I think the message of check yourself came from my mom. Ironically her birthday is July 19. She would have been 63, she would tell me all the time, Yaisa! Check ya self!
My mom passed at a young age, but she was full of wisdom. Although my mom was my biggest supporter, what she didn’t support was the bullshit of any kind. She taught me and my brother about accountability, she wouldn’t let us get away with nothing because she understood she was raising adults.
She made sure we understood, we make choices and the choices we make impact our lives in both positive and negative ways and we don’t get to avoid responsibility, or blame others for our choices; and we must stand on the outcome whatever it may be.
Today I filled my head with thoughts of things and people I can’t control and just allowed myself to be overwhelmed instead of checking myself and adjusting my sails for a better trajectory and outcome. I had to slow down, self-regulate, and get real with myself. I had to check myself.
I want to encourage anyone reading this to remember to check yourself when it is necessary. Sometimes you have to snatch yourself by the collar.
With that being said, I dedicate this blog post to my mom, Ms. Debra Green, for sending me a message she knows I needed to hear.
In honor of my mom this blog post is posted today on her birthday.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY QUEEN, MY GUARDIAN ANGEL, MY MOMMY AND MY FRIEND. I MISS YOU, I LOVE YOU AND THANK YOU.
