The Path is becoming clear...

It has been quite some time since I've posted anything; all for good reason. As I move through this wonderful thing called Life, my path is becoming clearer to me...I naturally progress to levels that inspire me to be exactly what I want to be and do what I want to do. That is an amazing feeling! To FEEL right in the steps you are taking to progress and elevate to higher levels...whether spiritually, emotionally or with your career, family, etc.

I enrolled in the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) at the end of April and the school 'semester' began May 3rd. IIN is a school that certifies individuals to become holistic health counselors. I became aware of IIN when I was with a friend, perusing through a fairly new health food store in Harlem and I picked up a catalog for the Omega Institute and saw an ad for IIN in the back. When I got home I immediately went on the website and I knew that this was for me. I FELT it in my being and called to inquire about their program.

I am studying online which is so convenient and this experience so far has been amazing, to say the least. I've learned not only more about nutrition and making sure you take care of your body by eating healthy foods, but I've learned more about myself. That I have talents that I'm not utilizing for various reasons: fear, lack of self-confidence, financial reasons. IIN not only focuses on nutrition but your lifestyle as well and they encourage you to really look within and add in things that support your personal growth. It feels right and I know I'm on the right path.

I will also be hosting my first meditation workshop next month and I am bursting with excitement - lol! I became a certified meditation teacher earlier this year because again, it just felt right. Meditation has been so beneficial to me, I wanted to share that knowledge and love for the practice with others, hence, my workshop series.

Even though I'm facing financial challenges that are overwhelming, dealing with the loss of my aunt and now my 32 yr old cousin, I can still say that I am happy. Really happy that I've challenged myself to reflect and tap into my own power and use that power to create the life I want! I am learning to focus on all that is good because when you do that, the bad stuff doesn't hold that much power over you. It just doesn't.

I challenge you to reflect and examine areas where you need to clean house and focus on all that is positive in your life. Keep your mind on what's good and it will bring about more good in your life. And even when you are faced with Life's challenges, you will be so use to looking at all that is good, the 'sting' from what's not so good, won't be as bad.

Be well...Namaste.

Hey Lyd -
Just read this and I found this comment so interesting on the heels of our bible study class tonight...I know you will agree.

Use those talents...God gave them to you!
