Change

Transformation of character comes through a great personal sacrifice.

The question is...are you willing to bleed for what you believe in?

are you willing to starve your ego to feed your spirit?

because your ego drives you with fear 

but your spirit gives you courage.



A greater Love

The seed of a great love is knowing first that I am,

and it buds from understanding myself.

It blooms from embracing who I am,

and bears fruit when I willingly lay myself down as an offering

at the alter of God's Grace and Mercy,

that He may grow within my heart,

A Greater Love,

One that sees beyond myself,

and knows that I am,because you are,

and that we are because He is.



My story

My life is a story expressed in poetry

With each poem my heart beats with a different rhythm,inspired by a dream, as I battle through each adversity and soar with each triumph.

When my heart races with excitement and my skin tingles in pleasure,

I remember what it means to hold my heart in my hands and feel the rhythm of life.
When I loose my pulse and I have to  pick my heart off the floor,

I remember that I bleed because I live and ache because I love,

and the pain is a page that I will turn.

I am

I am not defined by problems,

I am defined by what I stand for and therefore what I stand against.

When I walk out of an abusive relationship,

I am no longer a victim; 

I am WISE,

I am a STRONG MOTHER,

and I am a DIGNIFIED WOMAN

because I stand for up for my dignity,

when I stand against domestic violence.

Harmony

There is a discord,

when your expectations of others,

stem from your self-perception of who they are,

which in fact,

is what they are not.

Create harmony,

seek rather to understand,

and not to judge.

Embrace yourself

I love being in my own company  when I do not have to disappoint someone by embracing who I am.

Honor your choices

When you respect yourself by honoring your own choices, you teach others how to respect you as they see how you treat yourself.

Love is priceless

Love is priceless but is freely given...
A smile, that says 'hello'
A wink that says  'I have your back'
A nod that acknowledges your presence
A squeeze of your hand that says 'we are in this together'
A hug that says ' I missed you'
Love is priceless because it comes from the heart

Love yourself

You teach others how to love you by learning to love yourself first.

Volunteer

When you give your time without expecting a paycheck, your spirit is fulfilled ten fold...volunteer.

The right thing

The right thing to do is not measured by a pay check but integrity.

Weakness and strength

You are as weak as you walk in fear and as strong as you walk with courage

Abuse

When you stay in an abusive relationship you feed a beast that is never satisfied. This beast is called fear because it engulfs your soul by consuming your spirit.

A free spirit

A free spirit loves without possessing
Is fulfilled without consuming
Is in charge without controlling
Gives without counting it as a loss
Is free without abandoning responsibility.

Chance

Chance has two factors, opportunity and attitude;when one knocks,the other opens.

Spirit

God speaks through the spirit
When you speak to God, you open your mind to listen to your spirit.
When you hear God, you recognise the voice of your Spirit.
When you walk in the spirit you walk with God.

Stress

Stress: A day will always have 24 hrs but your responsibilities keep adding on, demanding that you wear many hats and fill different shoes.Prioritizing will keep you on top of your responsibilities and not buried under them.

Music

When a rhythm expresses the emotions you are experiencing and the words express what your mouth cannot articulate, music becomes therapy to your soul.

Education

Education is the only tool with the power to change the mind and transform character.

Faith

My faith does not grow in the confines of four brick walls but in the depth of a soul whose spirit is too free to be limited  by the rules of man.

Walking with God

When you speak to God,you open your mind to listen to your spirit.
When you hear God,you recognise the voice of your spirit.
For God speaks through the spirit and
When you walk in love, you walk with God.

Power

Power that subdues the helpless does not earn respect; it breeds fear.

Reality

Reality can be a bitter pill to swallow but it will cure an illusion.
