My Journey : July 2009

http://journeytopurposeblog.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Friday, July 3, 2009. Punctionality on the Journey. Actually, TAHIRA, everyone is reasonable. They just have their own reasons. And usually it's worth trying to learn what they are to maximize chances of a full-blown, 60's style, psychedelic lovefest. Which is always a good thing. The above message is from Notes from the Universe. Everyone is reasonable they just have their own reasons." Hmmmmm. When I read this message, the first thing I thought was how. Do they have their own reasons for being late?

My Journey : April 2010

http://journeytopurposeblog.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html

Saturday, April 10, 2010. Unexpected Company in the Valley. A dear sister-friend came to my mind the other day. It had been some time since we had talked. Refusing to make excuses about why I should not call in that instant and rejecting the notion that a text would be a quicker, less intrusive way to reach out; I picked up the phone and called her. Our conversation was brief. I suggested she read the poem, The Invitation. Posted by TAHIRA Akua TAHIRA. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

My Journey : July 2015

http://journeytopurposeblog.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html

Saturday, July 11, 2015. Storytelling is often perceived as frivolous entertainment for children. Busting this myth is a joy of mine. The best way I know how to dispel this notion, is to take storytelling into arenas where it is not often found. Case in point: In a few weeks I will be performing at the Delaware Coalition Against Domestic Violence "Resilience on the Riverfront Transforming Trauma" Conference. Here is what I wrote:. Words are how I metabolize life. The by-product of that metabolism is ...

My Journey : June 2011

http://journeytopurposeblog.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Friday, June 17, 2011. In the 25 years The Oprah Winfrey show has been on the air, Oprah has interviewed over 30,000 people. Oprah remarked on the last episode of her show, she realized that each one of those people wanted the exact same thing: validation. Every single person wanted someone to say, “I hear you. I see you. What you have to say matters to me.". Cannot imagine having compassion with every person; how about those in your inner circle? Posted by TAHIRA Akua TAHIRA. Links to this post. Subscri...

Monday, March 21, 2011. My Patterns in Relationships. Do you know your patterns in relationships? We all have them. We have patterns for everything. It is a very basic human trait. In the book, The Slight Edge,. Leo Weidner calls these patterns,. It the way we previously. It; because it is the brain’s way of being efficient. Even if you change the person you are in relationship with, we often still activate that habit-building process. These habits or patterns are inevitable, unless we bring a consci...

Tuesday, April 26, 2011. The Courage to Love ( Again). 8220;Have enough courage to trust love one more time. And always one more time.” Maya Angelou. With each hurt and disappointment, I trust a little less. Yet, I know a closed hand does not lose anything nor does it gain anything. Yeah, there are moments that I know if there is nothing risked, there is nothing gained. But truthfully, I am a coward who is praying for a chance to see the wizard to get courage and a new heart. Truth of my heart. These wor...

My Journey : November 2009

http://journeytopurposeblog.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html

Thursday, November 12, 2009. What if I could take a. Experience and recycling it? Everything on the Journey has value. (Labeling experiences. May result in me overlooking that value. For the sake of this exercise, I will use the term. In this post.). Here is what I imagine I could do with the pain someone caused me . . . I'm gonna take all the bad things you did to me and take them down to the recycling center. I'm gonna put them in an odorless trash bag so they do not pollute the air during the transport.

My Journey : February 2011

http://journeytopurposeblog.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Thursday, February 24, 2011. I heard it said that in 15 seconds you can tell how successful a person will be by asking them two questions:. What books do you read? What people do you spend the most time with? This epiphany led me to end some relationships. Iyanla Vanzant once said, “People come into your life for a reason, season or lifetime.” I ended those relationships that were clearly seasonal. Relationships, in which, what we. Together did not measure up against the barometer of what we could. An el...
