People Just ain't ready!!

So while sippin' on my morning coffee (I am not an avid coffee drinker just every once in awhile), finishing up my toasted sesame bagel with butter and reviewing my Facebook page. I cannot notice the positive change or positive language people have on their status bars.

"Kimberly Loewen is positive energy", "Travail D wants to leave a LEGACY... ", "Joseph Virga is now 35".... well I am not so sure if he meant that positively, at first I thought so but now I am not so sure.... but whatever. I am happy reflecting with others right now!

And I just can't shake this feeling of goodness in 2009! All I hear in my spirit today is "They not ready! People just ain't ready for the goodness about to happen!!" What goodness? you ask....

I believe the goodness that is in us all. The goodness that we want to truly live out and experience. It has been proven over and over again (for some reason I typed those words out with Beyonce's voice singing Luther Vandross's 'Closer I get to You' -- "over & over again, I tried to tell myself the we..." -- sorry mental note - aaannnyyywwwaaayyyy.....) that it is much easier for humans to think negatively than positively. We frown more and smile less.... Isn't that interesting!?!?!?!

But the time is now for us to truly believe in ourselves. The one thing I really have taken away from this past week witnessing a man of color become the Commander in Chief of one of the most powerful nations in history is that: YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE YOU ARE SOMEBODY TO BE SOMEBODY and even more so TO SEE YOURSELF BECOME THAT SOMEBODY!!!

I do believe (ughk! sorry guyz once again I typed those words and thought of the cowardly lion in the Wizard of Oz: "I do believe in ghost, I do believe in ghost, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I doo .... but I digress...) that I am SOMEBODY amazing. Sent here to this earth, created to accomplish something no one has truly done before, to break open a barrier that was set before people and to inspire and help others come to their full potential.

I do believe I was sent here to be a creator, an innovator, an artist, a mother to many, a companion, a daughter, a teacher, a preacher, a lover, a singer, a poet, a dancer, a producer of many & much, a counselor, a best friend, a good wife, a leader, a servant, a caretaker, a giver, a bride, a warrior, a merchant of hope, a writer, a fighter, a peace maker, a party goer, a humble & quiet person, a vessel of the Almighty God - here to accomplish what He created me to accomplish way before He created the earth but knew me in spirit as He/She is full, is all Spirit.

This is a mighty time! Do not as the proverbs say "get caught sleeping or become too lazy and wonder why you have no harvest in harvest season...*" we must all work and work hard. We must all come under the grace of God to see the fruits of our labor and to act wisely as we are laboring and pursuing our destiny even while we are not sure or clear what it is yet...

As Dr Martin Luther King Jr said "Do not be concerned with how high the staircase reaches or how many steps you have to climb, but just place one foot in front the other and be concerned with the step in front of you... *"

That's all for today - let me act like I have a job - good day all!
