(Originally Posted On Opulence in the Divine)

In my second blog post, I talked about how woman can reclaim their feminine energy. After I posted it, I got a comment from a person who I consider a great person, suggesting how do I protect my feminine energy. After giving the idea some thought, I thought of the best way to write this post. I would like to give my sincere thanks to that great person for giving me this idea!

I decided to just jump right into the thick of it and just give some devotionals and testimonials from my own life. As I am a woman, who has been through the storm. And I am also a woman, who has survived the storm. So, I can be a better woman, for myself and the world!

1.    Finding God Again: A devotional!

·        I grew up in a Baptist home, I went to church occasionally and I found the Bible to be really entertaining. But in the beginning (ha-ha), I never really had a true love for Christianity. Throughout my childhood, teenage years and early adulthood, I never put much thought into religion in general. I didn’t consider myself an Atheist, but the thought of a higher power just never was the forefront in my mind. Then, I started going through some really hard times in the spring. I will not go into deep detail here, but just know it was some real…poop. One night, I was alone in my room in my feelings and thoughts. Crying to myself and wondering how on earth did I got into this predicament. I saw the box containing my grandmothers ashes on my desk and started talking to it. As I was talking to her. Please, don’t think I am weird, but me and my grandmother have a bond that transcends time. I asked her for guidance, on what she would do. Then, I noticed that the ashes were on a stack of Bibles. I decided that I would simply say a day and a night prayer so I would start the day on a good note and end it on a good note. Believe it or not, (please believe it this is not an exaggeration) when I opened the bible for the first time, I landed on Psalms 4, An Evening Prayer. Psalms 5, A Moring Prayer, happened to be on the next page. (Well duh Sydney, five comes after four). So, that moment became my first step back to God! Now babes, please, do not take this as me pushing my beliefs onto you. Like I always say, however you come to peace, is your business and its lovely! I just think, in my humble opinion, having love for a higher power is the greatest path to peace and grace in life!

2.   Writing for the Soul!

·        Now, writing may not be everyone’s cup of tea. But it is certainly for me, and a who heartedly encourage it. The first step for me was finding God again. The second step was finding my passion again. Writing and me had a complicated relationship in the past. I always like writing, I always had thoughts of being a writer. At the same time, I used to shun and shy away from it because I did not think what I wrote amounted to anything. It was not like what the greats write. Then, I realized, fuck all that (excuse my French). I am writing for me and only me at the beginning and the end of it all. What I put on a page is all me, all my thoughts, all my feelings, all my words, all my heart and soul. Combining this with my faith, this passion is God-Given, and God-Given gifts should never be ashamed of. I share my writings with you all for that fact. I hope my prayers, poems, and other writings brighten your day, or touch your soul. Babes, whatever your talent is, please nurture it, love it, grow it, and embrace it! For it truly is a gift from the Lord!

3.   I am a Woman, and I am worthy of many things!

·        Here it comes all together! The key to maintaining your feminine energy is knowing your worth. For us as woman, are truly worthy of anything high vibrational. A lot of us, including me, have fallen into the pit of low self-esteem. Thinking that staying in low vibrations are all that we can afford. No babe, open your eyes and see the light! You are beautiful, you are worthy, you are wonderful, you are a daughter of the Lord! Never accept anything else than divine! Get rid of people, places, or things that bring you pain. Bring out the real you and never hide her. Do not be afraid of anything. Accept your past and forgive yourself. Find your peace through anything that brings you joy. Remember always: You are a woman, and you are worthy of many things!
