After the heavy heartache of the sacrificial Troy Davis execution this week, there were many songs that came to mind for me. One that I chose not to share, (but I will now), is Stevie Wonder's Visions. If you have ever paid attention to the lyrical content, he deeply defines & describes the visions in his mind-- which are beautiful... I close my eyes and let each word saturate my cells and I can FEEL those visions. The visions that we create in our minds are the start of the eventuality of the MANIFESTATIONS of those visions. So I wrapped myself in what I imagined to be a shining gold thread of love and made visualizations of my own. How appropriate today is to bring those visions to life, since the Earth seems to work in exact harmony with creating those realities!

30 Days Of Peace: Fall Equinox & Visions
Today is the first day of autumn... The fall equinox, where day and night are equivalent in the scope of time... Earth energy is strongest during this period, which I can feel so intensely this morning. Ive decided to embrace this lovely feeling and this energy that my Creator has given forth to the Earth, tap into it and allow it to flow all through me today. During my meditation today, I will cue in on the balance I would like to restore in my life, my environment, through my mind, my body, and breath, as it is a perfect day to reflect on balance.

30 Days of Peace: My Grass Is Green
This morning when I got out of my bed, I was totally overwhelmed by this feeling of, "no pressure, everything is good." I got my Chloe all situated for school, the roads were clear, we were ON TIME (hehehe) and everything was actually good.
So when I sat down to blog about my peace so far, here was the scene. Quiet, clean living room- sitting in the window, Nancy Wilson playing softly in the background and sipping my favorite coffee. Then, the yard maintenance guys start cutting the grass. Oh the glory, because that beautiful breeze lifted the smell right up to the window I was in, as if the entire reason for them cutting the grass was for me to have and enjoy that very moment. How peaceful. I closed my eyes, thanked my Creator, and typed this up. Now, looking at the clock, I have to get ready to work- but my work is HARDLY work... I get to touch people all day, reminding them of how important it is to just be loved on, and give them just a small bit of the peace and love I felt this morning without even saying a word. Not half bad, huh? Guess the grass is really greener because the Sun shines a little brighter on my side. ;)
Chante' Reinvented: A Tbsp of Peace, Please
Well, its been a moment since my last post. And I must say, the Earth kept moving. I have had so many changes take place, and plenty of experiences... But I've definitely put my social media avenues up on a shelf [takes down, blows the dust off], and in doing that I have forgotten how much of an outlet this is for me, as a mommy, sister, daughter, significant other, sista-huneechile-girlfriend, healer, and healee.. So here I am. Im back on my blog and Im doing quite a bit of reinventing.
After reading my homegirl/biz partner's post, "See What Had Happened Was..." I thought, "hmm, that was clever! I can just tell everyone what I've been up to!" I love the way she wrote that one! Instead though, I figured, why tell about my physical experiences when its so much more therapuetic for me to write about my internal changes? So that's what I decided to do.
One small part of my journey is really embracing peace. For me, peace is an umbrella that everything else I'm working on falls under. When I'm at peace with myself and my environment, everything seems to work in perfect harmony... The way I handle things that are outside of my limits of control is different. My perception is more clear. My decisions are more concise and firm. Even scripture speaks of peace excelling all things.. And I truly want my peace to be like the expanse of the sea. Never ending. Always in me. So I decided to focus on that for 30 days. To dig a little deeper into what makes me feel peaceful. How I behave.. Am I showing love in all things? How am I manifesting this internal gift that I have, this ability? Am I showing gratitude? These are the things I will be exploring. And documenting.
Afterall, isnt my house made of glass just like everyone else's?
