Gratitude Walks: A pathway to mindful appreciation

Leave a comment

At the heart of our bustling lives or during our lunch break, finding moments of tranquility and gratitude can be a refreshing way to connect with the world and thank God for each day. It’s not just a stroll; it’s an intentional journey towards cultivating mindfulness and thankfulness.

Imagine stepping outside, inhaling the crisp morning, afternoon, or evening air, and feeling the earth beneath your feet. A gratitude walk is an opportunity to unplug from the digital world and immerse yourself in the present moment. As you walk, let your senses awaken to the world around you – the chirping birds, rustling leaves, and the gentle caress of the wind. Each step becomes a chance to appreciate the beauty that surrounds you.

I always walk at locations where I can feel at ease and stay connected to nature, focus on giving gratitude to God, and be present in my mind. I engage my senses in the landscape and soundscape around me, which helps me count my blessings and enjoy the sun’s warmth on my skin. Sometimes, my mind wonders, but I gently guide it back to the sensations of the walk. Consistent gratitude walks help create a connection with your body and mind.

In a world that often seems to move at a fast pace, gratitude walks offer a reprieve – a chance to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with the world around us. These walks remind us that life’s simplest pleasures are often the most profound. So, lace up your shoes, step outside, and embark on a journey of mindful appreciation. Your heart and mind will thank you for it.

My Journey with Faith

2 Comments

Faith is a simple word that carries a universe of meanings. It’s an intangible force powerful enough to shape perspectives, ignite hope, and transform lives. Reflecting on my journey with faith reminds me that this is a voyage with no fixed destination. It’s a continual exploration, a lifelong odyssey that evolves as I do. Faith, I’ve come to realize, is not static; it’s a living, breathing entity that grows, transforms, and adapts to the ebb and flow of life. And as I continue on this path, I do so with an open heart, a curious mind, and an unshakeable belief that this journey is one of my most profound adventures.

In the quietness of the night,
I sit and ponder,
And seek the answers
I so desperately crave.
But as I draw closer,
The questions multiply,
My soul grows thirstier,
And the hunt for the truth
Ignite my chase.

No journey is without its challenges, and the journey with faith was no exception. Doubt crept in constantly in the face of questions that seemed to have no easy answers. During these moments of doubt, I discovered an important truth – Faith isn’t about having all the answers.

Amidst the chaos, doubts, and fears,
I feel your presence drawing near.
A symphony of echoes, a gentle nod,
Assurance in the whisper of a prayer to God.

Patience is a virtue essential to building faith. I struggled; It was a fierce fight for a reason and all the answers. Faith is nurtured over time through perseverance and endurance. Trust the process, and understand that setbacks and delays are part of the journey. Embrace patience as your faith grow stronger with each trial and tribulation.

For in this journey, a sacred dance,
I find answers, a fleeting glance.
In God’s embrace,
my heart finds rest,
The thirst remains;
A driving force,
A sacred current,
an uncharted course.
In seeking answers,
I find my place,
Embraced by God’s eternal grace.

Tempted to Touch

Leave a comment

The unmistakable feeling that swirls in my head, reeling around like a mirage, bringing the images of desire in the blues of the night, tempted to touch.

The chemistry between us, the electric current that sparks. Jolts of suspense, the ejaculation of the sweet smell of roses from my breath. Wherever that came from cannot be compared to paradise.

He is the paradigm of ecstasy,
the fire from the dragon’s breath.
Stamping my feet on the ground,
lading with a touch of gold.
My face was a canvas,
covered with drapes of silver,
Shining, sparkling.
Breath in air,
Exhale desire,
Gripping my heart with his stronghold.
Let me sink into the pool of passion
I am a woman in ecstasy.

My heart was bursting with emotion, eyes overflowing with longing, urge, and craving for the man who was mine. It was spoken loud and clear, and with a look, he knew I was not hallucinating. He knew I was the woman he’d been searching for, walking the earth. Our eyes met, and my body filled with vibrations.

I wrote this blog post on the 5th of January 2017 and decided to edit and post it again. It’s a reminder of my fantasies back in the day. Lol 😘😘💞

Navigating Work and Personal Life

2 Comments

In today’s fast-paced world, finding the equilibrium between work and personal life has become a big challenge. The demands of our careers often infiltrate our spaces, making it crucial to understand how to maintain a balance. I was once in a situation where I became stressed from not managing my work-life balance. I did poorly, and it affected many areas of my life. Whether you’re a professional climbing the corporate ladder, an entrepreneur chasing your dreams, or someone trying to live a fulfilling life, mastering the art of balancing work and personal life is essential for overall well-being and success.

The Importance of Balance

Balance is not about equally dividing your time between work and personal life. It’s about giving both aspects the attention they deserve while maintaining mental and physical health. By maintaining balance, we can manage stress, prioritize what truly matters, and maintain a sense of calm and contentment. A balanced life allows us to harness our full potential while caring for our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. In addition, a balanced life can lead to better relationships with others, improved productivity, and professional success.

By following these tips and tricks, you can create a more balanced life that allows you to reach your professional and personal goals. These worked for me, and I hope it works for you too.

Set Clear Boundaries

It is crucial to set clear boundaries between your professional and personal lives. Establishing defined working hours, maintaining communication with managers and colleagues, and keeping your work and personal life separate can be very effective.

Prioritize Self-Care

In the rush of daily life, it is easy to neglect your own needs and well-being. Make it a priority to invest in activities that nourish and fulfill you, whether spending time with family and friends, engaging in hobbies or interests, or practicing mindfulness.

Take Time to Relax

It can be tempting to work constantly and always stay connected to work, but this can be exhausting and unsustainable. Ensure to create time for rest, whether taking breaks throughout the day, taking a few days off or unplugging technology on the weekends.

Striking the right balance between work and personal life is an ongoing process that requires mindfulness, commitment, and flexibility. Remember that balance is not a fixed point but a dynamic state that adapts to your changing circumstances and aspirations. By implementing thoughtful strategies and making conscious choices, you can achieve the harmonious blend of work and personal life that allows you to thrive in both realms. Your well-being, relationships, and overall satisfaction with life can benefit from these tips.

My Nets of Hope

Leave a comment

I cast out my nets of hope,
Catching the dreams of light,
A glimmer of possibility,
A path towards what could be.
I hang onto him.
My journey of discovery,
An endless stream of possibilities.

Waves of doubt may rise and fall,
but I’ll keep my quest to life.
For within the depths of my heart,
I know he’ll see me through.

So let the winds carry me far and wide,
As I cast out my nets of hope,
on this adventurous tide.
And as the horizon calls to me,
with a promise so profound,
I’ll chase the light of hope,
to its discovery sight.

I focus my eyes on my father, With every single thread of faith – Eddaz
