I have been laid low. I mean really fucked up! I contracted the stomach flu from my coworker about a week ago. Life has not been the same. Here it is a Sunday, a week and a day from when I had my first symptoms and I am still experiencing brain fog. Smh. Which just makes it worse. Lol. It does not help that I have MS. The MS is aggravated by the flu which causes me to have what they call pseudoexacerbations. Long word that means it feels like I am having a flare up. Last Sunday morning, I could barely walk. So I am aware that my brain fog is a combination of flu and MS. It doesn’t make it easier to deal with though.
So I have another post that I was going to publish last week because I had finally decided what year this is. I was going to finish it up and post on Sunday. Didn’t happen. I still plan on posting it because it is a good one, but maybe in a couple of days. Still needs a little tweaking. This post is just an update of my year so far. It has been a little interesting but nothing major.
I like Christian music and if I listen to the radio, which is rare, I listen to K-Love. K-Love is a Christian radio station where I learn all of the new hits. They have this 30 Day Challenge of only listening to Christian/Gospel music. This would be implemented in your car or residence. We can’t control everyone’s radio. Lol. I decided to try it for the whole month of January. One day at the beginning of the month I spent a couple hours listening to secular music other than that I have been doing good. But the last 2 days have been a struggle. I love all music. When I went on K-Love’s Instagram page people were saying that they did the challenge and never looked back. Uh…not a chance in hell. I like the messages that come from Christian music but not enough to forsake all other music. My playlist is usually a mixture of all kinds of music. Some gospel, Christian, jazz, R-n-B, rap (not a lot), pop and anything else that I am feeling at that time. So suffice it to say, though I voluntarily took on this 30 day challenge, I can’t wait until it is over.
I have a few projects that I envisioned last year but really didn’t know how to get them going. Didn’t have the resources. And last year just sucked, so there! Anyways, I knew that I couldn’t let them fall by the wayside. God provided me with these ideas and I want to see them come to fruition. My coworker was showing pictures of the artwork her daughter had painted on her bedroom door and walls. They were beautiful. And ding, the light bulb came on! I can’t draw at all. Yes, I have tried. When I first came up with some of my ideas, I tried to draw them out. It was laughable and I laughed and so did the friend that I showed. Lol. I had prayed to God to send me someone who can draw and put these visions down on paper. He came through!!! And pretty quick too. Now the young lady has not agreed yet, but I am feeling like this is it.
Romans 4:17 …before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead and calleth those things which be not as though they were. I got this scripture from Dr. Wayne Dyer on the You Can Heal Your Life podcast. In the Manifest Your Soul’s Purpose series Part 1, Dr. Dyer was discussing how to bring forth the things that we want and to stop getting more of what we don’t want. Dr. Dyer said be careful of the thoughts you put into your head before you go to bed. That your mind cannot tell the difference and the subconscious will manifest these negative or positive thoughts into your life upon waking. This was so powerful to me. I have never really paid attention to what I think about before bed but I am sure most of it revolves around my fuck ups for that day. I have started to write out 3 gratitudes for each day, skipping the week I was sick. This isn’t enough though. Since listening to that podcast episode, I have thought about the things that I want to manifest in my life and reflected on them before falling asleep. I calleth those things which be not as though they were.
I truly enjoy listening to podcasts. They give me just the right amount of information. For some odd reason, I don’t do well with sitting still and paying attention for long periods of time. Lol. Either I will doze off or I will zone out and think about something else. I have one more day off work in honoring the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I am hoping that once this 3 day weekend is over I will be 100% healed. This is something I will definitely included in my bed time manifestations. I know this post kind of rambled on but I hope that you are able to get something out of it. I now know this is the flu season. I am hoping that no one has an experience like mine. As they say, “I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.” Please everyone, be well and whole.
