Loses and Lessons

In the past, when I misplaced things, I would frantically look for them. Over time I developed a different method. I would say within, show me where it is and I would get an image of where it was. It'd be there. 
If I ask and I get nothing, I don't go back to being frantic, I know I must wait. With ease, later it'll appear. If it never returns, I've learned that it's no longer mine or meant for me.  

I started applying this to relationships, too. When I noticed a pattern and a flow of its development, outside of my control. Now, unless it was due to my carelessness, not being focused, or not addressing something I should have...I have lost nothing. 

It and the relationship have served and fulfilled their purpose. I/We have lost nothing. Only gained. Experiences and lessons. If our perspective has been purified and no longer tainted by what we thought we were entitled to.

Examine Your Ways.

Anyone can say they love God but an intimate experience with him, in Christ Jesus, produces a maturity in love. How can we hold an aught against a person in our hearts, and still say we love God? A God whom we can't see physically, as this scripture says. 

Stay high in the heart of mind, in love towards others. 

What if they? 
I am not saying put yourself in danger. 
I am not saying to be a doormat. 
I am not saying to be a fool over and over again for any type of treatment. 

You are only responsible for how you treat and behave towards others. 

Live, do, and be from a place of love; absent of fear. From this place, you can hear wisdom and the leading of Holy Spirit. Stand up in the authority of God. 



1 John 4:15-21 TPT
[15] Those who give thanks that Jesus is the Son of God live in God, and God lives in them. 
[16] We have come into an intimate experience with God’s love, and we trust in the love he has for us. God is love! Those who are living in love are living in God, and God lives through them. 
[17] By living in God, love has been brought to its full expression in us so that we may fearlessly face the day of judgment, because all that Jesus now is, so are we in this world. 
[18] Love never brings fear, for fear is always related to punishment. But love’s perfection drives the fear of punishment far from our hearts. Whoever walks constantly afraid of punishment has not reached love’s perfection. 
[19] Our love for others is our grateful response to the love God first demonstrated to us.  
[20] Anyone can say, “I love God,” yet have hatred toward another believer. This makes him a phony, because if you don’t love a brother or sister, whom you can see, how can you truly love God, whom you can’t see? 
[21] For he has given us this command: whoever loves God must also demonstrate love to others.

The World Needs You. Finish the Assignment.

Years ago, God started teaching and showing me things that I had not heard anyone talking about or even teaching. Correcting and redirecting my perspective that was developed originally based on what I was taught. About God, scripture, and belief in Jesus.  

I sat quietly. Wrote what I was shown. Notebooks galore. 📒 When I would ask questions, it wasn't always well received. I was side-eyed. Like, who does she think she is? Or, here she goes again (I still get that sometimes 🤣). 🤷🏾‍♀️

Now within the last 3 years, I've been seeing people with all these revelations about theology and unlearning to relearn the truth. The Good News, for real. It is exciting to see. It's exciting to participate and partner in the shift. 

I'm sharing this today because I was recalling a post I made recently. Sharing how many were supposed to be forerunners and produce the first of many things but, didn't. For the kingdom of God. 

People are searching for truth. They want to know God. The Source. A healthy Father.
People want to know who they are. They want to know how to navigate their gifts and spiritual experiences that are not always talked about in the Church. Living in fear of what the "s aints" are going to say. So, they've gone to other sources. To get some answers. 

Sidebar: If you don't readily know something, as a Christian, say that. No one person knows everything, I don't care how educated, charismatic, and articulate they sound. Christian, or not. 

Back to the post lol
Many Christians were not in a position to provide what was needed. You were/are the solution. Still breathing, it's not too late. Step into your assignment. It's not too late to create, produce, and share what God has told you to share. 

There are still people that need the gift that is within you. Stop thinking low. Stop being afraid of the unknown. The Spirit of the Living God is within you. Come up higher. The air is purer, but you've been equipped to handle the altitude you were designed for. ✈️🧳🖊️📚💻🌈💃🏾🩵🙌🏾🎉

Growth through Relationships

Today I AM grateful for being able to think about my relationships this morning. I am always on the side of accountability and learning how to be better. Looking back, I've learned that I have been the reason people needed to leave me and I have been the one needing to leave. Some relationships may have lasted longer than they should have. Some, split before we could learn, grow, and give all we were supposed to give to one another. Sometimes we just did not have the capacity or selflessness to care for each other the way that we should. I am talking about all relationship types. Not just romantic.  

One of the main lessons I have learned along the way is: 

One of the worst things you can do in life is try to convince someone not to leave when their heart and mind are already gone. 

A relationship, a business, an organization, a ministry, etc.

If you have to convince them not to leave, you'll likely spend their duration there, convincing them to stay. 

That is a misery for them and you. It's delusional if you see it any other way. 

What if it is divinely meant to be and pride and or offense is get in the way? 

Continue to live and operate as you would.
Communicate from a place of love and maturity.
Do not allow emotions to lead. Deal with those first and then proceed to communicate. Do not force. That will harden a heart faster than you can blink. Leave them be. Guard your heart, lest you too will become prideful. Let God be God. Seek counsel. Alone, if you must. Remember, in times of struggle, most, including you are only seeing and caring about yourself. All parties have been hurt and or are hurting. 

There are many layers to navigating through relationships. Work on developing of self, the inner work through it all. All of these things are easier said than done. Yet, all things are possible.

The Dream of the Rise of the Rejected

10/4/23 This dream came to mind today and I felt led to finally share it. 

The day is coming that the very people the church rejected because the people rejected God, OR their appearance made people perceive that they did, will flood the ministries/churches. So, the saints better be prepared. People have been searching and they need sons and daughters of God to rise up to the occasion. Otherwise, they will be rejecting the very ones that God has redeemed and filled with his love, Spirit, and power. The ones that will not just go forth in word but in power. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Originally dreamed and written 5/17/19 5:55a.m 

Was already dreaming about other things. Hiding in an apartment. Then in a car. Then, I was in a church at a wedding with the LGTBQ+ community, and most people embraced the ways that would seem to reject God. All of a sudden a group that appeared to be what most would understand as goth, stood up and grabbed their instruments. Then they appeared on the balcony. They explained before playing that their life wasn't easy. Dealing with the different gifts they had. One gift was something that if not taught, one wouldn't know that it should not be engaged without leading and being led by God. 
They made it known a couple of times that they were believers. That they do believe in Jesus Christ. I turned to my left and my friend was there. She said, "See how they tell us who they are and what they believe before they play. So the people know EXACTLY who it is they serve. Those other bands of that other god just start blaring." 
Then as they started playing their heavy music, Holy Spirit told me to stand up. Even though he knew I wasn't going to understand the music. It was to be UNIFIED as one AS BELIEVERS. It didn't have to be my preference. ⬅ That's what I got from it. 
Also, the lead band member said before he played, that their lives were not easy and referenced scripture John 15:25 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But [this is so] that the word written in their Law might be fulfilled, They hated Me without a cause. [Ps. 35:19; 69:4.]
John 15:25 AMPC

And all of this has happened to fulfill what is written in their Scriptures: They hated me for no reason.
John 15:25 TPT

“And I will send you the Divine Encourager from the very presence of my Father. He will come to you, the Spirit of Truth, emanating from the Father, and he will speak to you about me.
John 15:26 TPT

Hear My Words and Feel My Heart

While I was sitting outside this morning, I felt led to go back in to get my Bible. When I came back out, I heard, look at my words. I started looking at the red letters of Jesus. 
I got to Matthew chapter 4 verse 17,  the KJV reads, From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 
I looked up the words preach, repent, and kingdom in the Strong's concordance using the Blue Letter Bible. 

Definition(s) of preach: to be herald, to officiate as a herald. 
- Always with the suggestion of formality, gravity, and an authority which must be listened to and obeyed. 
- To publish, proclaim openly something which has been done. 

Repent: To change one's mind. 
- To change one's mind for better, heartily to amend with abhorrence of one's past sins. 
(An original Latin meaning of abhorrence is: to shrink back from.
A synonym: hate something. 
An antonym: Agreeable. )

Kingdom: Royal power, kingship, dominion, rule 
- Not to be confused with an actual kingdom but rather the right or authority to rule over a kingdom. 
- Of the royal power of Jesus as the triumphant Messiah 
- Of the power and dignity conferred on Christians in the Messiah's Kingdom. 
Conferred defined: Grant or bestow (a title, degree, benefit, or right).

I read the definition given about repenting again and this is what came to me as I wrote...

Repent -
Hey, YOU! Turn around quickly! Come back this way to me. Break up with the lies you thought were true. I'll teach you what divine truth is and who you are, in me. I'll show you the authority in life you have. For the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Matt. 4:17
It is right there in you. This whole time. Even when life was doing what life does. The times it felt like the cares of life tumbled you around. You didn't understand the cycles of life. What can happen and yet you still have joy and peace within. A hope to rise from the dark places that you felt like sinking in. 
Ecc. 3:1-8 
Even when traumatic events happened abruptly in your life. By mankind's doing or by yours. Times you may have drifted off the divine path. Ignoring the warnings and still going past the red flags. Some things were preventable, yet, all things work together for your good. Traumas tried to steal you from meeting the real you and me. It tried to disconnect you from the life I desired for you. Yet, you lived and you rose. It's never too late to be reintroduced to YOU and ME. 
I know you have been searching. The answers you need are here. In me. I know there are many resources out there but that/they/them can never replace the divine Source. Repent, return to me. 
Romans 8:28 2 Timothy 1:9 

Matthew 4:4 Message Version
...It takes more than bread to stay alive. It takes a steady stream of words from God's mouth.

I'm Here "The Dimes"

Over 20 years ago, when I worked in retail I started randomly finding dimes. At first, I wasn't aware of how often it was happening. One day, I found one and thought, these dimes end up in the most odd places. Places that I really shouldn't even notice. They'd be highlighted as if a spotlight was shining on it. 

I'd see them under the shelving units at work. In the parking lot. In odd places in my car. At another job, I would see them under the vending machine. While out and about through town, in the most random places. It was to the point that after sharing with someone about my dimes story if they were with me when I saw one and picked it up, they'd ask, "Is that a dime? How did you see that?"

It had been happening on and off for years. Eventually, I'd ask God why would I find them for months and then months I wouldn't. What does it mean? 

It was maybe 5 years after that question that I got my answer. I was restocking the shelves at the store I worked at and a sudden wave of God's presence swept over me. God impressed upon my heart the poem, "Footprints in the Sand".

For those that may not know, "Footprints in the Sand" was a poem about someone who while walking on the beach, was questioning God's presence in their life. God replied and let them know that when they saw 2 sets of footprints, he was walking with them. They challenged God and asked where was he when there were challenging times. Side note: I say, moments to grow through. Anyway, God replied and said the times you only saw one set of footprints that's when I was carrying you. 

Y'all, remembering the poem and visualizing the imagery washed over me and I started weeping. Right there in the store. I finally got myself together and thought about what was taking place in my life at that time. I was enduring through a rough marriage. (Now I am happily remarried). I wasn't finding dimes at this time, but this was the perfect time I  receive the answer as to why dimes. He was carrying me through it. 
The times I would find them, he was/is walking beside me and I am where I should be. For either occasion, it signifies God never leaves nor forsakes. For me, these are God winks. God cares about us and I believe if he does not send the messages through human vessels he will find other ways to communicate with us. 

That was around 2008. It is now Oct. 2023. 

I was vacuuming this evening and I saw this (pictured below) and thought, at first, something got in the house (we live in Florida LOL). From where I was standing it was kind of tucked into the carpet. I walked up to it carefully because who doesn't like critters and creepy crawlies? Me. 
I see a dime. I just smiled and decided to grab my phone to take a picture. I've only documented by camera 2 or 3 times over the years. I may have written about it once before. This time I wanted to document it here on the blog. Yes, I have faith, but who doesn't need reassurance from God sometimes? 
However he sends it.

Foundation Strong. Good Roots Deep.

In the beginning stages. The difficulty. The aches and pains. Feel like they'll never go away. Until over time, as you develop, the pain subsides. Than you feel your strength. Our foundation can't be cracked and weak. Our systems must strong. Our roots must be deep.

You Have It All

Many words God has spoken to help better life. Many blame God for the troubles and ask God why.
Many times the instructions were given and not followed. Many times they were. The outcome tells it. 

Need a strategy? 
A plan? An answer? A solution? 

Look back through your previous words given. It is likely there. YOU have had and been the solution all along. 

I have many words. Many words of encouragement. Some warnings. Written. 

Here is one from 2016. Could have been given, written, and implemented any year since. 

When God speaks
Write what you hear
Implement the instructions, immediately.
Don't hesitate. Don't procrastinate. 
Look at the available tools you have within you and around you. Use them to educate yourself on what you don't know. Use them to increase skills to increase your value in the marketplaces. 
Sustain and maintain.

You Didn't Obey the First Time

You didn't obey God the first time. 😕 Time goes by and then you see what he told you to do everywhere you look, still do it! Your fingerprint is unique to you and so is your stamp on the assignment he gave you.

Don't have enough money? There's too many resources out here for that to be the excuse.
There's plenty of help in your network. No excuses.

You were supposed to be the forerunner. The first in this era, but you allowed your insecurities to get in the way. That's no longer you. What now? #Godseesahead
You know your identity from God. Stand up and be who he called you to be.
You know what to do. You got the goods.
Make the connections. Collaborate.

You know your identity from God. Stand up and be who he called you to be. You are the solution. It's in your mind and in your hands. #blueprints

Is there any Kingdom of God Music?

Listening to the lyrics of a lot of these gospel songs while I'm helping to create a playlist...sigh. 😮‍💨

I understand meeting people where they are sells (we've all had low moments), but...there doesn't seem to be enough variety between simply acknowledging the lows to redirecting us to focus on the highs (God's provision) and moving us to our next. 🫤

I've spent years singing, dancing, worshipping, and praising to much of this music. It wasn't until a few short years ago that I was like...hold up. ✋🏾🙅🏾‍♀️

🚨Ain't got no money...
🚨I'm broken, depressed, and sad...
🚨Never any relief and I have to keep begging for something that I inherited the day I said yes to Jesus... 🤷🏾‍♀️

Don't get me wrong, there are some out there (maybe plenty) AND biblical. Yet, truthfully how much leads us to kingdom principled thinking? ☺️

It's easier for me to find slower tempos because it's my go-to but going through faster-paced songs? 
Sheesh. I like some good bass, too. (Kirk, Tye) 😆 

I said all that to say, regardless of our opinions...please, HELP a sister out. Help me recall some good songs. 🤗
A friend helped me out yesterday with some ideas but what's on your playlist? 🤔

I'm looking for faster-paced songs that can lead people closer to him and at the same time assist them to stay focused while on this journey. 🌳

Obedience to God is Success

2/20/17 8:19 a.m.
When people deem what you've done as a flop, a washout, an unsuccessful nonattended failure...God deems it a success. Why? You heard his voice, his instruction and you've purposed in your heart to obey. It is your job to hear, obey, and commit to action of fulfilling the task. It is God's job to make it a success and to bring expansion to it. 
In the meanwhile, he is building your character through the seeming "failure" that when you obey the 2nd time and so on, the private building of the task and character will then be a public success. 

The Catalyst of the Dark Days

In the darkest days of my life when I was not just seeking the hand of God, but when I was seeking the face of God, that's when I was the closest to him. That was when I had the most Revelation from him. That's when I was able to see dreams and hear people's thoughts as if they were speaking to me. That was when I was the closest to him. Sometimes we want to escape our darkness. We want to escape the turmoil. The tribulation and the sorrow that we're living in. That is the time you got when you can see him and he will just open up his arms to you. 
He hears the brokenhearted and the contrite spirit. There is such sincerity in the dark place but if you choose not to choose him while you're in your dark place then calamity will come upon you and it will overtake you. The enemy will have his way with you because it's the mind that has us most trapped. Not the adversity itself.

Despite of...LIVE

12:04 a.m.12/26/22 
The adversary wants us to break rank from our divine identity. Stop us from knowing who we are and what to produce on the earth. 

There are many ways he does this:
One of the main ones is to insert experiences of pain as early as possible. So that you live your life in constant distraction from being reintroduced to the truth. The truth of who you are. God knew you before birth. You existed with him. There is greatness in the divine design of YOU. 
An era in the time needed what he put in you. Some felt it from an early age and never allowed anything to get in their way. Not even themselves. Even with limited understanding.

Some, no matter what took place in their life found themselves in similar situations/types of jobs & public engagement that later revealed these things were directly tied to what we're supposed to be doing. Or at least one of the things. Some, we're assigned more than one thing. 

If there is a time in your life that you are tied to by pain and trauma, find the best ways to face them, deal and heal from them. Acknowledge, yes but do your best to no longer allow that time to keep you arrested and locked up in that pain. 

The adversary comes to steal, kill, and destroy.  Your God-given identity and destined future for you and your lineage. 
Jesus came that you have LIFE, and have it more ABUNDANTLY. John 10:10

Healing All Things God Made

Written By Myesha Marie Langrey 

This week I have been transcribing my notebooks. Something I have long needed to do.  I found something I wrote, from Dec. 2020. This year, 2023 has been a year of purging, fasting, and moving. Moving forward by repenting and returning to the genesis of God's original blueprint. Taking care of all things. Land, Sea, earth, mind, body, and soul. Relationships. Raising our emotional and mental intelligence. Gaining knowledge and acknowledgment of God and returning to the original family structure. Knowing that when we follow the principles, moral, and integral ways of God, we can have the life God designed. Including, knowing how to manage the parts that will come during this human experience. As in describes in Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 

Given: 12/12/20

You designed our bodies to detox. To get rid of everything that pollutes and attempts to poison our systems. Our bodies will regulate and maintain their highest quality. God, we thank you that the regeneration process has already taken place and our healing has manifested. Regeneration in our spirit, in our mind, and our bodies. It is not by happenstance that you have been speaking to many of us about this throughout the weeks. Speaking to some, years. That you designed our bodies to detox, regulate, regenerate, and heal. We have access to live the best and highest quality of life through you and what you have given us. You have given us every herb-bearing seed and every tree, in which the fruit of a tree-yielding seed, as food (Gen. 1:29). We are no longer slaves to every whim, ungodly desire, and waywardness in thought and action. Through Jesus, we are free. 
If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passing away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17

Elijah Elijah Elijah

How many times have you found yourself in the same position as Elijah? On an up and down rollercoaster. He performs miracles, speak a word, and it comes to pass. Challenges those that opposes the Lord God. He knows that the Lord supernaturally strengthens him, then hears a word that Jezebel is out to kill him. Now he fears, runs for his life and goes hiding in a cave? 
What in the world?! His emotions/feelings got the best of him. He allowed his fear to win out over his faith, but faith and fear cannot dwell in the same place. All that boldness, strength, faith and power went out the window...just like that. Well, God met him right where he ran to...in the cave. The Lord asked him, "What doest thou here, Elijah? Twice the Lord asked him that and twice Elijah gave the same tired excuse/answer. He told God what work he did on his behalf, like that gave him a pass to hide, be depressed and die. God responded to Elijah with a directive Lol. 
Shake yourself, get out of your emotions and get back to work! I love you, I hear you, and I feel you, but get back to work! When he went back to work he found help. He learned he wasn't the only prophet standing firm for the Lord and although Elijah didn't know it yet, his successor...Elisha. 

You will encounter many challenges but they come to grow and mature you. Step up your faith and in the meantime, keep working.

Seat of Honor

Been thinking about this. Also, saw a few posts regarding a similar topic. 
You want the seat of honor? Be first to have a servant and submissive heart, inwardly. Motives pure. Not in appearance only. 

It's not always easy, to serve first. The "only" one to "get it". 
To serve, and expecting it to be reciprocated will typically lead to a letdown. You can't demand or manipulate others to serve or submit. It has to be in them. You can surround yourself with like-minded people, though. If you have to demand or manipulate them to do it, you'll join misery, and will continue to have to demand or manipulate them.  
Demanding is not the same as commanding. One, you have to force. The other, the parties will soften because of your righteous actions, serve or submit on their own. Love and live to be the person that serves first without manipulation and demand. The pure-hearted will return in kind. The wounded and or rebellious, cannot and will not. 

Jesus said, “Come to think of it, you are going to drink my cup. But as to awarding places of honor, that’s not my business. My Father is taking care of that.” When the ten others heard about this, they lost their tempers, thoroughly disgusted with the two brothers. So Jesus got them together to settle things down. He said, “You’ve observed how godless rulers throw their weight around, how quickly a little power goes to their heads. It’s not going to be that way with you. Whoever wants to be great must become a servant. Whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave. That is what the Son of Man has done: HE CAME TO SERVE, NOT BE SERVED—and then to give away his life in exchange for the many who are held hostage.”
Matthew 20:23‭-‬28 MSG

Let the Light Shine In

When reading the Bible, take into account, the context of when (time), where (culture of people), and why of what is taking place. 🌍
Not forgetting the why of what God was wanting to convey at the times when He was speaking. (keep reading, searching, and studying)🔍

God desires a relationship with us. ☺️🥰
In a healthy relationship, there's a desire for the person you're in a relationship with, to have the highest quality of life (mind, soul, and spirit). Even more so, living out the purpose of the life He has given you. On top of enJOYing the beauty of creation (the world is our oyster sort of thing 🙆🏾‍♀️). 
Explore and go on many adventures. 🧳🛳️🗺️✈️🚙

As you read the Bible, you see the interweaving between God showing His love and His connection with humanity, yet time and time again, that love, wisdom, and principles are being rejected. He knows if, my son or daughter goes the way I'm showing them, their life will be fulfilling. Not saying you won't experience ALL aspects of life (ex: Ecc. 3:1-8), which includes the bumps and bruises, at times. Yet, He knows you'll gain the most out of life by being led by His Spirit. 

"Continue to read/listen to the Bible. Allow the Spirit of the Lord to illuminate the word to your heart, mind, and soul. Bringing knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. Most of all, the revelation of who God is, his nature, character, and how much He truly loves you!" ~Myesha Marie Langrey

Prophets, God's Practitioners

 3/3/23

During morning prayer I heard clearly no more gatekeepers. Leaders have been gatekeeping. 

What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people’s faces. You won’t go in yourselves, and you don’t let others enter either. Matt. 23:13 NLT

I also heard earlier that same week and I wrote it down in one of my notebooks. 

I heard the Spirit of the Lord say my prophets are MY practitioners. They are skilled in their calling. They are of Me.  

Practitioner: 

A person actively engaged in an art, discipline, or profession, especially medicine. 

Medicine: the practices and procedures used for the prevention, treatment, or relief of symptoms of diseases or abnormal conditions. 

Indeed, the Sovereign LORD never does anything until he reveals his plans to his servants the prophets. Amos 3:7 NLT 

5/9/23

God is increasing the knowledge, skills, and sharpness of His prophets and those that answering the call. They will be distinguishable and there will be a stark difference from the false prophets. They will be uncompromising, unmoved by bribes, unmoved by the fear of the people's faces, and what they claim they can do to them. 

My prophets will bring an awareness and a much needed healing in the hearts of the people. Giving them an inside look into who I AM. The Way, The Truth, and The Life. Wake up "the seekers of righteousness". Dismantling the lies of the adversary, the devil.

Labeled


I've been called many things.

A woman of God, strange, weird, crazy, good-hearted, kind, generous, different, strange, no kind of woman, liar, gold digger, homewrecker, a bad mother, slow, old, lack of style, ain't gonna be good for any man, easy to get along, eats to work with, counselor, (greatest) wife and mother, and more. That's what's been said to me directly. That's what's been said through the lips of those that said they loved me and those that didn't. 

That's what's been said out loud and only God and they know what they've thought internally. Not forgetting the scowls and the shaking heads of disapproval. 

Good thing NONE of that matters unless I've chosen to answer  and allow any of it to effect my life through.  

Unfortunately, for a time and part of my life, I did. 

It's so sad that the negatives weigh more on our hearts, mind, and life than the parts that should, be the truth. Even if people have lied to themselves to believe they're confident and fully secure. People with a keen eye, truly sees. 

The truth is that you were created in the image of God and everything that comes with that is within you and for you. From the time you were birthed into the earth until the time you transition from this earth realm... 

Thankfully, I've been able to connect with those that embraces me and all the terms that could describe me. 

Good and bad. That is a reason itself to live a life full of gratefulness. 

The favor with God and with man all my life. Thank you. 

I may not get along with everyone, because we're not all going to get along, but I will ALWAYS accept people for who they present and give them respect. 

I find that I don't live in those spaces and times of negative labeling but I revisit it (like now for this blog) without the tie of emotions because many people would come across this and need to see and read that they are not alone. They will not give in to the pressures of words. It takes a lot to get to the point in life and not be affected by the word and the disapproving looks of people. 

Jonathan McReynolds wrote a whole song about it. It's called, yep you guessed it, "People". Go check it out, and no there's no brand deal. LOL

Although, I would not be opposed to one. 👀
