Wisdoms of old have prepared us "as within so without." So look within or you'll forever be without. Once we're adults, validation must rise and sustain us from within.
Therefore, let us be inspired to practice everything that is good and everything that increases healing and peace to our well-being.
Over and again, we get to choose to release the need to self-loathe, self-abandon, or negate self-accountability in the guise of blaming it all on our "pain in the ass" intimate partner, ruminating on thoughts of heavy judgement, and seething dislike of others, complaining in our heads about the way "they" treat us (when we've chosen to stay in bad relationships of various kinds).
Truly, what we do is skate away from ourselves seeking "likes", envy, sympathy, “fake comfort” validation, and approval; while leaving our peace behind.
Question:
What hour (what 30 seconds) of your day have you totally belonged to yourself (present) with the sweetness of LIFE that beats your heart 100,000 times a day, without you having to even worry or think about it?
So why worry? LOVE lives and LOVE abides (every heartbeat is evidence of this). This LOVE that cares for us this way, thousands of times each day, will see us through and beyond.
I for one, have been catching myself abandoning myself, ruminating on my fiancée’s bad habits, hoping that others won't see me as "not nice" or a selfish B*tch, thereby abandoning my very own wellness by overcompensating to meet the needs of others who in the end will never be satisfied in the first place. I've been seeing myself...
Catch myself
running away from myself
What, why?
can’t I truly be with me?
run away thoughts...running
to social media
running to spill the tea
running to eat
If I don’t want to be with me, who will?
Today, I love me enough to stay with every breath.
I love me enough to be my own best lover...
love... love... love, nourish and heal me, cherish the God in me and be still.
a a a a h
breathe deep
LOVE yearns,
and awaits me
Within
I Am safe, I Am LOVE and All is well

I don’t believe in a solar spirituality
The Most High reigns in the darkness
and in the light
Likewise, I Am balanced in the day and the night
Across many waters and tides
And of my soul…
My Dark informs my Light
And my Light at the stroke of dusk
Does so burst forth the spark of Life, Wisdom and Beauty
In its infinite evolution
It is only when I pay homage, make space, practice stillness, be at peace with the dark, heal, and surrender in faith...
My Inner-Star makes Way,
Cracks forth from my Night
And
my Night is As Bright as
The Day of All Time
(Our stars are in our inner-trust. Trust Within)
“My Night does Shine” – Lisa Sophia Spencer
Psalm 139:11 – 12 (kjv)
“If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.”

We all need a safe home. With this in mind, let us create joyously safe minds & beloved bodies... that we love with a divine, agape LOVE. Moreover, so that we may live in, feel safe & at home; as we traverse through this sometimes chaotic life-journey.
Let’s be inspired to practice everything that is good, everything that is healing and of peaceful news, through lenses of realism. Yet, let us not cease to cleanse our lenses in relentless faith to see & find a way. Furthermore, trust your gut, seek peace & find good or the lesson leading to our good in all situations.
Some of us do not believe in God, yet believe in the highest good for this world and for man-kind, some of us believe in Divine Most High LOVE, and some believe that God is LOVE. Whatever we choose to call this Almighty and supernaturally infused Energy, there is a biblical scripture that says “In God I live, move and have my being (Acts 17:28).”
On faith, says of the beloved, late and legendary poet, mother to many, and universal teacher, Dr. Maya Angelou, “I lose it, we all lose it from time to time, its human... faith trembles and skids away, & in that moment I am dangerous and in danger.” Maya went on to say, “then, I remind myself that in God, I live, I move and I have my being, I am centered, and I’m fine.”
While refreshing ourselves with healing wisdoms, remember, no man, no woman can be comfortable without his/her own self-approval” (Mark Twain, paraphrased).
Moreover, wisdoms of old have prepared us “As within, so without.”
Validation, joy and peace must begin within.
We must -faithfully- take essential, gentle care of our “home” thereby, opening ourselves to abundantly enjoy every good thing in which peace, joy and love could minister unto us.
And now, we courageously open our world to let LOVE Arise, and all HER enemies be scattered!
(I gift to you this listening joy today. Treat yourself and listen as you are moved to; upon your rise each new day, or at any time you so choose).
LOVE Abides! Peace to all. "Loving Home"
