Do What you Gotta Do - Words of a CERTAIN Woman

The day after, four years ago, the next day, is very vivid.  Mom is gone, physically.  What now? It is the thirty-first day of the eighth month in the year R&R (ReCover and ReStore).  I found out, that when your mother departs from this life...your entire life changes.  No Regrets...I am glad I showed her love, glad I gave her flowers, glad I arose and called her blessed.  Most importantly, I am happy for her Words.  In one converstation my Mom had with a dear friend, this young lady was going through a very difficult life situation.  Husband had left, she had the children, the saga goes on and on.  She talked to Mom about all of it.  She spent at least thirty minutes sharing from her heart.  After she was done, she said, mother, what should I do, what can you give me from your ocean of wisdom and life experience to help me get through this?  I need a word, I need a plan, I'm listening.  Well, Mother Martha, this CERTAIN Woman, reached deep into the depths of her soul, she thought very carefully about how to share this priceless wisdom with my friend.  She opened her mouth very carefully to release the words that will mean life to my friend and she said, very, very, directly.....head shaking, brow wrinkled...hand pointing...she said these unforgettable words.  These words should be on a tee shirt, poster, they should help you in your everyday life.  These words can be applied to each and every situation, they can solve every problem.  She said....DO WHAT YOU GOTTO DO!!!!!

My friend said, that's it, all that I poured out, everything that I'm going through this is all you can tell me?  These five little words?  Mom repeated it and after it soaked in for a few minutes, my friend said, ok, I get it.  She realized that she could not focus on those issues, those troubles, because life is still before you.  Children need you, people need you, there is work to be done and a destiny to be fulfilled.  You DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO!!!  When you fall, get up, when you have to cry, go ahead get it out, but when all is said and do you DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO so that you can fulfill your purpose in this life.  It's not about what you have to go through.  It matters that you get through it and then DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO to accomplish the things in life for which you were created.  This life is simply a journey to eternity.  Don't get stuck on stuff, DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO to stay free and at peace to complete your Journey with no regrets. 

DO WHAT YOU GOTTA DO...a lesson of wisdom from the Words and Life of Mother Martha Stanley - A CERTAIN Woman.

Take a Seat...

Part 3, Page 18, Chapter 2017 it's time to take a seat and see the world with brand new eyes!  Get rid of the lies you heard, replace the word that would negatively impact your thoughts.  Stop running, keep still, trust your heart and commit if you will to the will of the author, He knows the story. You deserve to take a seat and enjoy the moment, live in it, embrace it, cherish it and allow it to become a sweet memory forever in your mind.  Stop running, stop talking, stop and just take a seat.  Clear your mind and breathe in deep, deep until you feel the wind lifting you from that low place and then blow it out, hard and loud so that you hear it escaping from your lungs like a bird freed from a snare!  Turn the page and continue to journey W ithout R egret G uilt or S hame #WRGS .    Remember every now and then to just TAKE A SEAT!

2017 - Epiphany & Authenticity

Part- 1, Page 6, Chapter 2017 - Embracing M.E. (My Eve-Olution)!  We have a brand new scene in 2017. Navigating through the various landscapes, habitations, atmospheric pressures have all revealed for me a clear view of my authentic self.  Looking in the mirror and actually seeing, speaking my truth and actually hearing it, in the most raw form and not offering apologies for that truth.  Arriving at this place required me to leave skin, blood and sweat as a sacrifice on the altar that resulted in a life altered, scene changed, re-arranged and now sustained. Today, there is gratitude, on this day, when the world recognizes and acknowledges the manifestation of my soul's lover, I too appreciate my own epiphany, when I discovered the incredible power within, I chose and will continue to choose, from this day forth to use it to the fullest.  I am now living in that free place, liberated and substantiated,  making every decision and reflecting on every area of this ...

Looking back over Turned pages....

As I turn to page 25, chapter 2012, I have taken a moment, just a moment to turn back and review some of the previous chapters.  I look back and am reminded of the miracles I have experienced.  I am reminded of the miracle that I am.  As I look back, just a few chapters, I see an amazing story of a woman kept, a soul saved, a heart committed to the lover there of.  As I look back, I see that on several occasions, I did not understand what was going on at the time of the actual writing, but now, I can see that everything is working together for good.  I read over places where the challenges seemed overwhelming and changes did not make sense, but as I read further, I saw the benefit of each and every trial.  I look back and review the pages of this book, the author is brilliant, the pieces did not seem to fit, but He brought them all together.  Just like a puzzle, I can now see every piece fitly joined together.  I did not notice then...
