Motivating Monday - August 23, 2021
We are L.U.V.!
Can I just say, I LOVE the child in this picture? I'm so honored to be Wisdom's mom and student. I have to admit... we have had more adventures in the last little while than I had expected or planned for. Through them all this little human has continued to show great character and resilience. I am so grateful for him.
Last Monday, August 16 marked two years since we returned to Raleigh after being gone for almost 3 years. That was the official start of this unexpected journey from poverty to prosperity. I started this summer thinking we would be settled and housed by now with the start of the school year at hand.
That can be discouraging but I'm not discouraged. I am definitely encouraged. That is because I can honestly say the journey from internal poverty to internal prosperity has successfully been underway. There is a lot of excavating still to be done. I don't think that will ever be complete. And that's exactly my point!
We should never settle for "arriving" we should ALWAYS be in a state of learning, growing, developing, etc. Years ago I said, "I have a diamond mine within me." Well guess what I learned in the last two years? My diamond mine is DEEP! And its internal brilliance causes me to brilliantly shine externally.
I Love me so much. I am not the same woman I was when I arrived here two plus years ago now. It's interesting too because I thought I knew something then. I mean, I did. I just had a lot more work to do than I realized.
Personally, I still struggle with confidence issues. Not like I used to though. The shift from a beggar to investor mindset is humbling. I don't dare be arrogant about not being willing to settle for less. An Important Note: Having the mindset of an investor will not always put you in situations where you are financially fluid.
After living in our storage unit for 4 plus weeks this summer (with air conditioning thankfully), I know. Yet I would not change that choice for anything in the whole world. Yes, I said choice.
Wisdom and I actually had two living situations we could have submitted to. Both presented challenges where we would be sacrificing what we had in the storage unit. There was a certain amount of freedom in being there that I could not afford to give up despite the challenges we faced being there.
God was overall though. He told me to jump when the time came and He has never let me fall. We have experienced sooooooooo many blessings and have met sooooooo many amazing people. We have received blessing after blessing after blessing.
Our blessings are too BIG to take any credit. We cannot give credit to anyone except God. And now it is time for us to make our next move from external poverty to external prosperity.
During our time in the storage unit I reapplied for my solicitor's permit for the Town of Cary. God also opened the door for me to finish a "book" I've been writing. He even gave me the resources to print and bind it on my own. This book is a gratitude journal. It is the essence of everything L.U.V. is about.
Wisdom and I will be selling these journals this week (along with a few other items), starting on Monday, August 23 at the corner of Tryon Road and Walnut Street/Holly Springs Road in Cary. We will be there from 4:30-6:30p until we run out of items to sell or until Wednesday, whichever comes first.
The suggested retail price for the journal is $15. But we invite people to determine the value it will be to them and pay whatever price emanates from their hearts and minds.
It is a special, limited edition. I have already begun to redesign how it will be printed and compiled so this is exclusive. I will admit it was produced in a very economical fashion since I was doing it on my own. However, the intellectual property it contains is priceless.
The journals come in a variety of colors, mostly white (pictured). Also pictured are the front cover, back cover and inside back cover.
It means the world to me to have Wisdom be a part of this with the message he wrote for it. He was so excited to write it too. He deserves all (and more) that the sale of this journal will bring. First and foremost is stable housing.
I Love/L.U.V. being my son's mom. He keeps me inspired. He keeps me motivated. He helps me to stay grounded. That's why I know this is the beginning of our next great adventure living prosperously.
It is time for us to not only be housed but to have a home of our own and every other freedom that will follow. This is our season to manifest our next level of greatness. This journal is key.
Please feel free to share this blog. I have long sensed that our change is coming rapidly. I'm extremely grateful for how you will help and/or have helped. Thank you in advance for your support. Thank you for your continued support. We Love you!!! Enjoy creating your amazing day. Peace...
