My Journey : July 2009
http://journeytopurposeblog.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 3, 2009. Punctionality on the Journey. Actually, TAHIRA, everyone is reasonable. They just have their own reasons. And usually it's worth trying to learn what they are to maximize chances of a full-blown, 60's style, psychedelic lovefest. Which is always a good thing. The above message is from Notes from the Universe. Everyone is reasonable they just have their own reasons." Hmmmmm. When I read this message, the first thing I thought was how.

Our conversation was brief. I suggested she read the poem, The Invitation. Posted by TAHIRA Akua TAHIRA. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Saturday, July 11, 2015. Storytelling is often perceived as frivolous entertainment for children. Busting this myth is a joy of mine. The best way I know how to dispel this notion, is to take storytelling into arenas where it is not often found. Case in point: In a few weeks I will be performing at the Delaware Coalition Against Domestic Violence "Resilience on the Riverfront Transforming Trauma" Conference. Here is what I wrote:. Words are how I metabolize life. The by-product of that metabolism is ...

Friday, June 17, 2011. In the 25 years The Oprah Winfrey show has been on the air, Oprah has interviewed over 30,000 people. Oprah remarked on the last episode of her show, she realized that each one of those people wanted the exact same thing: validation. Every single person wanted someone to say, “I hear you. I see you. What you have to say matters to me.". Cannot imagine having compassion with every person; how about those in your inner circle? Posted by TAHIRA Akua TAHIRA. Links to this post. Subscri...

Tuesday, April 26, 2011. The Courage to Love ( Again). 8220;Have enough courage to trust love one more time. And always one more time.” Maya Angelou. With each hurt and disappointment, I trust a little less. Yet, I know a closed hand does not lose anything nor does it gain anything. Yeah, there are moments that I know if there is nothing risked, there is nothing gained. But truthfully, I am a coward who is praying for a chance to see the wizard to get courage and a new heart. Truth of my heart. These wor...
