What’s Calling Your Name?

 What’s Calling Your Name?    

I chose this picture because it gives a summit view, in a beautiful place. The things that call your name are set with a beautiful background. They aren’t always  beautiful journeys though, to get there. You have to make a PATH sometimes to get  there.

 I will answer this question for myself: It appears at this moment women, children and families are calling my name. So I serve them.  I have found the people in these groups have lost their voices, yet have loads to say! I can help them.

• The young girls who light up the world and are beams shining in the world.
• The mothers hopeless yet trying to find out their purpose in the midst of raising children,
• The kids who live to know their friends and what they are doing in this life and live lives vicariously through their friends with keen sense of awareness nor identity.
• The women who seek to influence in some way and need to be applauded.
• The lost souls who cry out to God for purpose.
• The little influences seen through the eye of a camera
•  The beach… in all its fullness  – wind, water, and sun.
• My Dad… as he sits in a hospital bed and I pray for him and his longevity of life. ( 8/2010)
• My nieces and nephews their futures and their babies futures.
• To lead women in retreats, conferences, identity, purpose and self-confidence.
• A silent get away like this one at: Lebh-Shomea ( a house of prayer) , in Sarita Texas.
• A new place, a new time, a new mission.
• Africa!! ;0)
•  A retreat for women on how to perfect self-evaluation.
• Motherhood.
• Babies who lack smiles because they have not been loved.
• The sunrises and sunsets of everyday.
• The ability to find my voice with regularity and consistency and helps others find theirs.
• Love, Love and to BE LOVED!!
• Friendships with common passions.
• My daughter(s).
• Red Seas – ( the Book) ~  and its desire to be published!
• My husband… all the time. ;0)
• Oklahoma! ( can ya believe it) 11/2010
• Wounded hearts and families of addiction. 11/2010
• Families to obtain knowledge through my magazine: The Kamau Voice.

 

So… what’s calling your name?

Do you spend time with yourself to hear it resound off the pages of your life?

Do you contemplate over life and living to this degree; preserve them on pages you can eventually return to and reflect?

Anyone with breath to breathe has something important enough to say – how you CHOOSE to say it , is what’s KEY. Anyone with life in their body, has something IMPORTANT TO DO; they need to prioritize their passion.

 Is  what you have to say  important enough for others to consider? What would it take for you to say it??

I Didn’t Realize… Til Now…

 

I Didn’t Realize…

1. My voice was suppressed until I started this blog.
2. That FEAR could be so immobilizing and FAITH could be so FREEING until I became an adult.
3. That sunsets were so beautiful until I quietly chased them down on a beach in North Carolina one morn before five a.m- with my daddy – my inspiration.
4. That babies would coo on demand when I snuggled and held them close…
5. That life slows down  and becomes more enjoyable once you allow yourself to be in control of the pace.
6. That I needed more laughter in my life until I found someone else’s JOY to be my stabilizer.
7. I was a photographer until I saw the world through a different lens and other lives - ( my S. Africa experience!)
8. I WAS a writer - until my life transformed my soul and my willingness  allowed this transformation to occur.
9. Peace is a place …and it’s something you must practicing pursuing.
10. I could capture my soul until I started evaluating it with regularity.
11.  That I really couldn’t capture JOY, until I understood  true relationship with God fills me up.
12. That I could fulfill my purpose by once BEING a child of an alcoholic, then  becoming an alcoholic COUNSELOR.
13. That miracles can happen if we only believe….
14. That  LIFE may be hard, but if purposed, it can be also very BEAUTIFUL.
15. How refreshing rejuvenating and relaxing water and waves can be to the soul and sunshine to the spirit.
16. That dreams can speak so loudly to me from God, be His way of communicating with me and His people and have so much POWER and meaning in the spiritual realm.

( I have more…  stay tuned…)

What’ something you haven’t  realized…over time and it’s caused you to yet reach for more?

I’m Established.

 Sometimes you have to just go to the EXTREME in order to recapture what you lost.

I lost something yesterday, but I sought to regain it tonight.  How do you re-capture what you’ve lost?

I am talking about self- empowerment and self-rejuvenation. I lost something tangibly, but I didn’t lose the tenacity to feel, to seek out, to inform myself and to embrace the NEW.  I welcomed the change. I wish everyone would live with this kind of intention.

We all might have a more purposed world in which to live.

I hope you recapture what you’ve lost. I hope the absence of it, doesn’t fill your heart and soul with grief and then you acquiesce, just because its easier. I hope you choose to go after what’s yours until you find it, just because you can, and you don’t need any allowance to do so.

What do you want to go after with absolute abandonment yet you hesitate for fear of what someone else will say or do?  Why do you need someone to get on board with you? Why don’t you decide to be the heralder, today?

Just for today. Lead. Initiate. Seek. Find.
