I am born and raised here in Philadelphia…known as ‘the city of brotherly love.’ In this city, the city of my home, it is a part of who I am. I work on who I am every single day of my life. I create the ‘me’ I want and so deeply desire. I am aware of where I am and where I want to go and who I want to BE. Being in my current position; I know that my external part of me is not where I would like for it be. I still have a lot of work I need to do within so I can start seeing the transformation without. After all, everything is a process, all takes ‘time’… time to heal, time to calm down, time to make things better…
“Love and magic have a great deal in common. They enrich the soul, delight the heart. And they both take practice.” -Nora Roberts
I still feel a bit fearful at times; not nearly as much as I used to so I do see the improvement and change with myself. And I am happy with where I am today. I am very happy with how far I have come and all I have to accomplish. And I am not even done…done working on my goals. I have so many goals set for myself, to help better myself, to learn and grow as a person. I am a very curious being and I want to try everything at least once; and again and again if I love it! Such as traveling, I love traveling. I’ve been to many places. I have seen how other cultures live and how it is different than what I am used to. And I love everything other than what I am used to right now and I am sure this is all in the process of bigger and better things for me.
I believe it is time for a BIG change….a change out of my illusions in my mind and back into my heart… my hometown I am in is very active, lots of constant noise and energy. Sirens: fire trucks, cops cars, trucks, the “bvvrooommm” of the motorcycles, helicopters flying over my house as if I am a ‘serial’ criminal. Is all of this very loud noise that I am creating outside of myself due to what I am holding within? … If so, it is time for me to release it all because I learn every day how to overcome and by-pass all of this chaos and fear inside of me. Right now and always, I let go of all of the past of me that no longer serves me for my best good. I now fill myself with all of the good and peace I do deserve, all of the LOVE I AM.
“Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart.” -Unknown
My real place I call home is my heart…filled with love as I continue to transition and create my outer world, my reality to make balance with all of ‘me’ and all I want to BE…I know I will see the transition both within and without …filled with peace, joy, harmony and LOVE… My home town reflects who I am as a person too… no wonder I am from ‘the city of brotherly LOVE’…. Because I believe LOVE is what it is all about. When I love myself, all of me—and I really FEEL the love deep within, that is when I start to love everything and everyone on my inside and outside worlds, even my external reality. It all starts with me, within my heart… and I choose to LOVE—share love, practice love, explore love, BE LOVE….For I AM LOVE.
“Where we love is home—home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.” –Oliver Wendell Holmes
I’ve learned to always remember where I come from… especially that I have a lot of “history” that took place here in Philadelphia; it taught me many lessons that I still carry forward to this day… I accept all of my past of me; my good, my bad, my mistakes, all of the choices I have made in my life, I accept wholeheartedly. I am grateful to have had this experience of this life I am living; for this and every given moment, each inhale, each exhale… I am Home… My Home of Love that I Am.
Love, Peace and Blessings,

“I have never met a person whose greatest need was anything other than real, unconditional love. You can find it in a simple act of kindness toward someone who needs help. There is no mistaking love. You feel it in your heart. It is the common fiber of life, the flame of that heats our soul, energizes our spirit and supplies passion to our lives. It is our connection to God and to each other.” -Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND YOU CAN CREATE WHAT YOU WANT.
