2/23/2023 4 Comments Have you updated your wardrobe? Deepassionate1 SpeaksI entered February with great expectations. Signs and wonders were showing up, and I thought I was on the right track, but on February 9th, the forecast transformed quickly from sunlit skies to thunderstorms. Things were finally coming together, and I was ready to do the work. And then it happened; I tested positive for Covid the night before I was supposed to fly out to California to facilitate my passion-filled workshops. I couldn't believe it, so I wrapped the test up and tried again, only to confirm what I already knew. I wasn't going to California. I cried so much that my eyes were almost swollen shut. How could this be the will of God when He knew that I'd been dreaming about this day for months? "Many are man's plans, but the will of the Lord will stand." And it stood as I took some time to grieve and then found solace in his presence. Over the next five days, I melted between the pages of my Bible and other books and wrote as if my life depended on it. God showed me that sometimes the timing isn't right and that his delay doesn't necessarily mean never. I took all the words I received to heart and did some soul work. I examined my mind, emotions, and will and discovered work I had to do, but first, I had to change my clothes! My wardrobe was suitable for the new season of my life. My season of doubt was over, and I could no longer allow my feelings to hold me down. I was confident that I didn't have a problem with dreaming; most of us dream while we sleep. The problem for me was learning to accept that my dreams must align with the will and timing of God for them to manifest in my life. God didn't want me to cancel my dreams; He just wanted an invitation to dream with me. He had to take off the veil so I could see all of his God-ordained possibilities for my family and me. I had to remove the gown of worry and replace it with a dress of praise, pressing into his presence to receive the mercy and grace he promised me. There is a Master plan for our lives, but we can't access it without the Master. We need to enter the party wearing the proper attire. We must get dressed and prepare our souls to meet with the King. How to prepare the soul? It's a mind, emotion, and will thing! After receiving your consultation with the Master about his plan for your life, you have to get in alignment with his will for your life. First, you must realize that realignment takes time. Slow and steady is a great pace when executing the plans of God for your life. It would help if you took time daily to meet with him. I start my days now, pouring everything in my head onto my Writer's Notebook, a practice Julia Cameron calls Morning Pages. This practice is a great way to get the dew off your mind and onto the pages of your notebook. It is a starting point for my interactions with God. After I pour out and empty myself, he can direct my daily steps. Second, be open to every day being different. I know some of you love routines and rituals, but I am learning that variety is truly beneficial in my life, and it is a way for me to trust the prompting of the Holy Spirit instead of going full speed with my pre-made plans. Be sure to invite God into each moment of the day. It will take some work, but I am learning how to pause before I transition into another activity to invite the spirit of God into that moment too. Finally, you must train your soul in the way it needs to grow. You have to guard your soul like you protect your heart. Why? Your soul is where your mind, emotions, and will live, and I am learning what you feed your mind will affect your emotions and influence your will. You need to take a copy of your Master plan and pray over it daily and then make sure that the things you do for the day support the manifestation of your plan. Examine what you are consuming, make sure it is edifying, and remember that you belong to God. Fear not! He is with us and knows the plans he has for us. With love, Dee Questions worth answering

1/9/2023 3 Comments The Pursuit of Meaning Deepassionate1 SpeaksThe Pursuit of Meaning! Where do we begin when a more profound desire for meaning replaces our pursuit of happiness? We start with a clean slate; fortunately, 2023 has given us just that! Entering into 2023 with a strategic focus moves us from the thought of starting over again to being in the center of our lives, where we can find purpose and conviction for the year ahead. Shifting from happiness to meaning Unlike pursuing happiness, searching for meaning requires you to set a goal that will cause you to leave your comfort zone and go where you have never been before. There is also more significant expansion, expression, and soul development here; the essential part is that the shift begins in you. This shift in pursuit comes with a price you must be willing to pay. Pay up! There is no allowance for ignorance while pursuing meaning, and you must study. Your thought process must meet and align with your action plan. You have to become strategically focused because your energy flows where your focus goes, and manifestation doesn't happen with your thoughts alone. Taking action There are many types of goals that people work on executing, but there is one in particular that I want us to focus on while pursuing meaning. The kind of goal I am discussing is a Type C goal; these are the ones you want to accomplish but don't need to know how. Getting on the right frequency Need some help getting back on the right frequency? Get your Writer's Notebook and pen, take time to reflect, and then put in the work. Dear You, You are great, and you need to acknowledge that. Create a list of your Signature Strengths; these are the things you are great at doing. Be Grateful The gratitude visit Stop # 1 Write a letter to someone you are thankful for and then share it with them. Stop # 2 Create a list of things and people you are thankful for at the end of your week and reread it to yourself at the start of the following week. Is your spirit measuring up? Set aside time to be quiet and check in with your spirit. Turn off your phone and use this time of peace for prayer, reflection, and realignment with your purpose. Getting out of excuse mode Take the but out & add "and" & "so" I want to exercise more, but I don't have much time. I want to exercise more, and I don't have much time, so I will walk around the block after eating lunch every day. Questions worth answering
REST. RESET. REJUVENATE. REVOLUTIONIZE YOUR LIFE! 12/6/2022 1 Comment Destined to Fly Free Deepassionate1 SpeaksEntering into the second phase of my life at the age of 43 has its benefits and drawbacks. My drawbacks include hot flashes, dry skin, sensitive teeth and gums, irregular periods, heavy bleeding, irregular sleep patterns, and mood swings. They have shown up, daring me to reaffirm my spirit and reclaim my womanhood differently. How do you reclaim your peace while transitioning into the conscious living space of perimenopause? You have to read, write your ass off and share your discoveries with others! I was a writer before this phase, but now I feel like a ferocious beast who finds calmness when her pen hits the pages of her Writer's Notebook. I find myself reading more now too. I am doing perimenopause with a new attitude, and I am willing to write and talk about it too! I want to live a more authentic life, so I have to ground myself in words that reaffirm my spirit while educating me about the changes I need to make. I invite you to join my IG Live on December 16th @ 7 PM. I will share all the remedies, products, and practices I've implemented that make this change acceptable and manageable. Follow me on IG @deepassionate1_trinigirl_ to learn more about my journey. Dear Dee,The second phase of your life is a divine matter; be fearless, knowing that all things will work according to God's plans. Everyone and everything you need will show up right on time. People on the same evolutionary and spiritual frequency will gravitate to you at this time, and your essence will repel those who do not. The road may seem lonely when you evolve to a higher self, but you're simply shedding the layers that no longer serve you. Questions worth answering
