Happy mother’s day!
Mothers come in all shapes and sizes, speak different languages, wear different clothes, but they all share the same thing they love unconditionally.
Your mother may have been flawed but she loved you the best way she knew how. Motherhood doesn’t come with instructions many of us fumble through praying for the best.
If your mother is not here anymore, focus on your best memory of her and allow that to be your guiding star.
Fedora loves you! Peace
Unravel me
Lovers,
Let me share with you why I am sharing this song. As you know certain songs speak to my spirit, this is one of them. I am entering a phase where I am guarding myself sexually. Often we give ourselves to those who disregard the importance and meaning of sexual love.
There are times when one should abstain in order to bring balance and harmony back to your spirit. This is important because as we connect with our mates sexually we also take in their spirit. We become entangled in their battles, agendas, love, glory etc. Now this is okay when that is your intention. You both have decided to become life partners this is exactly what you want.
But if that is not your plan, then entangling yourself in this way disturbs the natural order of your life and goals. So at this point I am finally refocused on my purpose and I do have those who are attempting unravel me.
Lovers it is not easy because once the door to desire has been opened you can’t close it. All you can do is attempt to keep the fire as low as possible. I have successfully abstained for about five years previously. But this time it’s harder. But I intend to stand my ground!
I know you’re trying but you’ll never unravel me!!!!
Fedora Loves you. Peace.
War to Live
When I was in elementary school I used to get bullied and would run home everyday to avoid fighting. I was scared in and out of the house. By middle school I had stopped running. I still didn’t want to fight but I stood up to my enemies. At least I began to fight back in my mind.
By the time I reached adulthood that shit just wasn’t funny anymore. Not only did I stop running, I beat the shit out of two of them. I got tired of being bothered for just being me. I am one of the most peaceful people you could ever meet, but when I was a child everyone wanted to fight me.
I developed anxiety and it ran my life until I got tired of that too. It seems like I am in an all out war just to live!
So I count each victorious day as though we won the war because you need to reward progress. For those who have been stuck for many years, these small moments are big deals.
When you face your fears you realize that what appeared as a giant in the dark really was only a big rock. A big rock that can be pushed aside. A big rock can still cause harm but it’s smaller and it can’t block your path.
You realize you are strong enough to push that rock out of the way. Each victory makes that rock shrink until you can crush it with your foot. Today I realized that the rock is not as big as I thought. I can kick the rock now.
I faced some difficult parts of self this week. I saw the broken woman who used to wander this earth in my body in another broken woman. God showed me where I came from. He showed me my growth. I didn’t expect to get so emotional though.
I cried not because I was still in pain, but because I had never seen myself. She was lost, torn, hurt, angry, EMPTY. She was just moving around like a puppet, not making any purposeful moves.
I remember that day when someone put their arm on my shoulder and spoke in my ear. This is not you, where did YOU go. I was told that I wasn’t myself. Thus began my war. My war to LIVE!
That was over 15 years ago. Long time right? My war to live is a lifetime war. Today was a victorious day! So I am celebrating it like I won the war!!
The sun came out today
Why was my life so
Gloomy
All because of choices made
When we never intended to stay
The crater was filled
I no longer seek another’s
Part
To make me feel whole
Cause my heart is finally healed
Freedom is new for me
Splashing a fresh dew
Upon
My face giving me the
Power to live effortlessly
Things are not the same
I finally know how to be
Content
Basking in all His glory
Resting for the remainder of days
Seems like street lights, glowing, happen to be
Just like moments passing in front of me
So I hopped in the cab and I paid my fare
See I know my destination, I’m just not there
All the street lights, glowing, happen to be
Just like moments passing in front of me
So I hopped in the cab and I paid my fare
See I know my destination, I’m just not there
In these streets
In these streets
I’m just not there in these streets
I’m just not there
Life just ain’t fair
Seems like street lights, glowing, happen to be
Just like moments passing in front of me
So I hopped in the cab and I paid my fare
See I know my destination, but I’m just not there
All the street lights, glowing, happen to be
Just like moments passing in front of me
So I hopped in the cab and I paid my fare
See I know my destination, I’m just not there
In these streets
In these streets
I’m just not there in these streets
I’m just not there
Life just ain’t fair
The good Lord gives
The good Lord taketh away
That’s how it goes
I don’t know what else to say
The good Lord gives
The good Lord taketh away
That’s how it goes
Don’t live your life in vain
