Saith Me… Toxic People

We often have to mingle with people who share common interests but who may not be the most agreeable to us or to our sensibilities.

However, some people are toxic in nature and those who support them and continue to mingle with them often times become toxic by association.

Toxicity should never be something we feel obliged to ingest.

Many people seem to think that it is being immature to distance one’s self from toxic personalities and toxic behaviors.

The real immaturity is found in those who make excuses for the toxic.

We should remember that it takes very little poison to ruin the well from which we all drink. Therefore, we all need to be conscientious stewards of the well.

Saith Me… Simply A Cloud

I do not need you understand my pain.

I need you to understand that I work every day to rise above it and to prevent it from leading me into the depths of despair.

I need you to understand that there are days when I succeed in my efforts – magnificently succeed!

I need you to understand that there are days when I stumble, falter, and succumb; when fear overshadows my focus and clouds my skies.

I need you to understand that on these days, my countenance and my behavior do not reflect on my perseverance, my hope, and my joy.

On these days, I need you to understand, there is simply a cloud or two in my otherwise light filled life.

Saith Me… Rest

Being multi-faceted requires continual effort, refinement, and polishing.  With dedication, one’s light will always sparkle and shine.  Unlike the precious gem, the warm, living flesh needs rest.  Nightly rest is not sufficient.  Occasionally the multi-faceted individual needs creative rest; a time when the mind floats and flutters in and out of reality; a time when the layers of mental and emotional dust blow away.
