I am Lady G 💋💋Lover of family, friends, good food, good drink, and loud laughter. Spiritually aware sky-gazer and maker of good 🤗 things happening. ✨
I’m just dropping by to say hello, and to let you know that I have started another blog where I will be posting material that is more spiritual/ethereal in nature.
Rest assured, I plan to maintain this blog as well…even though it doesn’t always look like it! LOL!
Anyway, to be frank, I decided to create a second blog because the content that I am presenting there won’t necessarily be of interest to the followers here.
Now…
To be clear, I haven’t changed at all…
I’m just ready to show another side of me.
That said, I love the followers of seekthebestblog and I wouldn’t want to alienate any of you. I hope to continue to see you all here from time to time 🙂 so please keep following me!
At any rate, if you happen to be interested in seeing what I’ve been up to lately, please feel free to check me out at:
At last…the final entry in my Valentine’s poetry remix series…
“We Wear It Well”
Written by a brilliant poet who gives us all things magical and celestial. She is Kim, InfiniteZip, and like Chevvy and Marie, she is another one of my sisters.
Life savored,
samples of bliss on pretty dishes
elements of the universe served
one of each for you and me.
We gather in our tribes
celebrating the beautiful days
the crumbs of happiness caught on lips
smiling with full mouths
of joy.
These dreams we carry with us
packed up and set within invisible cases
slung over the shoulder and peered at
while waiting for the light to change,
green we move forward
creeping and taking time to just inhale
the feelings of our being.
Flowers in a vase and champagne taste on tongue
a fine chocolate and a held hand,
the finer shades of bliss
we swim in the depths
below a setting sun,
blowing our seeds of laughter and joy
on the wind carried
into tomorrow.
Having an amazing day. I accepted the job offer for which I blissfully applied, and for a moment, savoring in the joy of…
As I mentioned in this blog’s birthday post, I’ve been in introspection mode.
Hence, my inactivity on WP.
As a matter of fact, I’ve been involved in some form of deep study, meditation, prayer and contemplation ever since this blog’s inception.
Trust me, there has always been something deeper lurking beneath my tomfoolery!
And I mean ALL. OF. IT!Â
LOL!!!
Anyway…
I’ve spent a great deal of time reading works that span generations, distance and culture. In essence, I wanted to cull and synthesize enlightened concepts from a very broad perspective.
And you know what?
There were several common truths that absolutely permeated seemingly divergent schools of thought.
Ah…but there was one truth, other than love, that continued to leap all the way up into my frontal cortex!
And it was RESPONSIBILITY!
Anticlimactic?
I get it, but follow me now…
What I have learned is that each one of us is personally responsible for our own lives.
PERIOD.
Don’t get me wrong, I understand the temptation to dwell on all of the ways in which others have mistreated or abused us…I’ve had my share of both.
But in the end…
It is our responsibility to do whatever we need to do to take our lives into the direction of our choosing.
And to that end, I have been having some great discussions with my closest friends and family about how that might look in our own lives–regardless to the actions or inactions of mother, father, sister, brother, son, daughter, husband, wife, uncle, aunt, cousin, neice, nephew….society and so on.
I think one of my mama’s closest friends said it best…
“Gwin, don’t trust nobody with YOUR life!”
Though she said those words to me many years ago, they now ring with a resonant tone.
And so…
I’d like to share a video with you that was sent to me by one of my best friends, Sandra. She and I had been talking about this topic for a long time, so she was knocked off her feet when she stumbled upon this:
Love is like the sea
There are hidden depths
You never know how deep it is
If you only stick your toe in
Just think how much more
We have yet to discover –
Let’s jump in!
Romantic love can be
A source of pleasure and of pain
You have to let your spirit reign
With majesty yet humbly
In order to gain
The greatest gift humans can share –
Come on, let’s swim away!
And now we’re floating, like a boat
And now we’re diving – water in my throat
But that’s just how it is and will always be
Sometimes floating like a dream
Other times we want to choke
Unless we go for broke
And stroke this crazy emotion – we’ll be left standing on the shore!
