Watch your mouth

We live in an age where word of mouth is everything. People love to talk and many times it's harmless. But what about the times where conversations can hurt someone?

As we all know, bad news spreads a whole lot faster than good news. There are some people out there who are entertained by spreading rumors and gossip. Then there's the other people who hear the rumors and gossip but they don't do anything about it. As someone who has had vicious rumors and gossip spread about myself, both types of people are equally bad.

Take this scenario for instance. I'll give you a perfect example. As you guys know, outside of my mystical musings and interests, I'm an Advanced EMT. There was a particular person who was having rumors spread about them in regards to their character and work ethic. In fact, once it was found out that I would be working with this individual on a shift, I was warned by several different people about them. But I set the intention beforehand that I would have a good shift working with this person.

Now I'm not someone who automatically jumps to conclusions based on what people say about a person. I like to give everyone a chance and then figure things out for myself. Needless to say, my shift went well and even though said individual I was working with was a lot more extroverted than me, we got along well and we were able to work alongside each other with absolutely no issues.

In the EMS world egos run rampant. It makes me wonder about what kind of energy the people who gossiped about this individual were giving off while working alongside them. I understand that sometimes personalities clash and certain energies just don't mingle well together. But there are definitely times where people lash out at others due to their misplaced feelings and egos. This was definitely one of those times and also a good soul lesson for me to learn. Like attracts like. If you go into a situation thinking negatively, you need not be surprised when the overall outcome turns out to be negative.

The lesson in all this is to never let anyone dictate how you feel about a person or situation. You have to use discernment and think for yourself. Vibrate higher than those who get off on spreading bad energy.

Love Is A Power

I was really unsure as to whether or not I wanted to write this piece. My inspiration for this came from me realizing a negative pattern within myself. I don't attract very good relationships 

Either the person who I get to know turns into a complete and total stranger or I stay with a person who I know for a fact isn't good for me and I end up separating myself emotionally and mentally long before finally pulling the plug and saying “enough is enough”. Why does this happen? I’ll explain why. 

Love is a power. 

It’s almost like another element in a sense. It can either be beautiful and breathtaking. Or it can be dangerous and disruptive. It can leave you high, happy and on cloud 9. Or it can leave you deaf, blind and dumb. In my case, most of the time it has been the latter. I was deaf to what my intuition told me about certain men before I got romantically involved with them, I was blind to their actions during the relationships, and I was dumb for staying way past those relationship’s expiration dates.

I seriously started to think I was cursed or jinxed in some shape or form when it came to love. But as I have delved deeper into my spiritual journey, I came to realize that before I got involved with certain people, I wasn’t very specific those times when I prayed to the universe for love to come into my life. I settled for love that wasn’t suited for my needs. I settled for love that came with “conditions”. I settled for love that was fake.I settled for love that was downright sick, possessive, and obsessive. Sometimes even abusive.

The common denominator in my past dysfunctional relationships was ME. I settled and I accepted “knock off” love instead of the real deal. I seriously dropped the ball. It was beyond painful for me to realize this. Self-Inventory can be a terror on wheels. But it is necessary for growth.

The law of attraction is real. You really have to be careful when it comes to your thoughts and your words. Most importantly, when it comes to manifesting anything at all, be specific. VERY specific. Also focus on what you want instead of what you don’t want.

I had an epiphany and decided to change my prayers. They became more specific and detailed. They changed to me asking for love that is tailored just for me and for what my soul and spirit needs. Love that is innocent and playful. Love that is balanced. Love that just…is. The universe heard me. Now I wait! 

Sometimes Change is Good!

So after a few eye opening and life changing events last week, I decided that I am going to go in a new direction when it comes to my blogging. As much fun as I had with Alternative Black Chick Chronicles on my old Wordpress account, it wasn’t going in a very positive direction as far as lining up with how I want to live my life. A lot of my posts were kind of well…dark and I’m trying to live on the more lighthearted end of the spectrum nowadays. I’m still going to be outspoken on certain topics but a lot more tame and coming from a place of positivity and motivation instead of vulgar humor and endless ranting. I received my degree in Transformational Psychology with a specialty in Spiritual Studies. I am definitely on a spiritual journey and it has led me to some very interesting places. That’s what a lot of this new blog will be focusing on.  I have already alerted my followers on Wordpress of the changes. Hopefully they will follow me over here to Blogger. I respect WordPress wholeheartedly. But Blogger is more customizable and I don’t have to jump through a bunch of hoops to make changes to my page like I have to with WordPress. So there you have it ladies and gents! There will also be a new Instagram, Tumblr and Twitter to go along with this site. It’s time for some positive changes in my life and a new direction!!!

I don’t have much content on here yet but it is coming! You haven’t seen nothing yet!

 I will be shutting the Wordpress page down at the end of the week! I hope to see everyone here soon!
