Life has been crazy, blessed, insane and wonderful all rolled into one lately. Since my last post back in October, I have changed locations 2x (following YaHuWaH’s will), seen and experienced things I could have never imagined and learned some amazing life lessons (thank you Father). All which will make up several posts in the very near future.

I apologize for not being more available, there have been several posts on my mind but in the midst of the beautiful chaos I have had to divide my attention/time differently. I cannot say I have always been the best at this especially with so many new things going on, however I can at least say I am always learning and improving as I go.

So, to make up for lost time and to prove I can do better than I have in previous months… I have accepted one of my best friends Larry Rivera’s 90 Day Blogging Challenge. It’s nothing official, more like a verbal challenge he received and passed on to me. Since he challenged me, I found it fitting to call it his challenge .

We all have a story, tips and inspiration to share… If you currently blog or are thinking about getting started blogging, I encourage you to join me! Leave a link to your site in the comments below and keep me posted on your posts. I would love to read them and comment/share them too!

If you have no interest in blogging, then sit back and enjoy the posts to come. They will range from spiritual principles in general as well as about family, forgiveness, health, saving and making money & everything in between!

Father give me strength, diligence and perseverance to complete this challenge victorious. To help me shine the light you have made so bright within me, to no longer be shy/afraid to speak the words of wisdom and knowledge You have blessed me so kindly with. AmaniYAH! 

ShalomAH & blessings to you all!

Welcome! I hope you are having a blessed Second Day. Any day Yahuwah blesses you with another day, is a blessing no matter what!

As you can probably tell, I’m not done redesigning my blog by a long shot! However, because of having my construction sign up I haven’t been writing. This means I haven’t really been communicating much here and that means ditto for my social sites. Not good!

So even though I am not done, I decided it is time to write, because if I don’t… Well I might explode!

A lot has happened in the past few months. I went from about to start a business venture solo and being laser focused to having a business partner and that laser focus getting side tracked to realizing I was doing the wrong thing right before we were about to heavily market the site.

I generally have a hard time designing logos, etc. for myself. I am so much better at helping others, been putting other before myself most of my life. While this sounds like an awesome trait, it can also be a self-destructing one too if one does not know how to properly use this gift. I have certainly learned that I cannot always say ‘yes’ nor should I. That I should always pray about what to say when I do not feel the Ruach nudging me one way or another. That there are some people that will never be happy with what I can do and that is okay. The greatest lesson is despite what every one else is clamouring on about what I should or shouldn’t be doing, I have to stay focused on Yahuwah and what He wants and that usually means going against what the popular vote thinks/does.

I am more than okay with that, I have gone against the grain most of my life and when I tried to force myself in a few areas of my life to go with the grain, well quite frankly it hurt but through the pain I have gained a lot of life lessons. However, those did not have to happen if I would have been listening to the Ruach’s warnings.

About a year and 7 months ago is when I started reading the Scriptures. My life has in many ways changed by leaps and bounds. My ideas, my thoughts, my everything. So much fell off of me without even trying, while other things are still a work in progress. Half of the things I do and believe in now, I would not have been able to fathom in the past.

More on the above in other posts to come. In short I am not the girl I once was.

I have been running for about a year and a month of that time from what Yahuwah (HWHY/YHWH) has been calling me to do. Thinking I am not knowledgeable enough, not ready and also was concerned about providing for my family.

How silly I have been to say the least. Here I have watched Him do numerous miracles in my life in a short time, seen Him live up to His word about providing our needs and yet I think He is somehow limited to only doing so when I have a business or job? How insane is that?

Here I have been breaking shackles of limitations upon limitations off of our Father and yet kept one huge shackle on Him. Did it serve Him, did it serve my family or me? No it did not, we are financially no better or worse off than we were prior to that.

So I thought I had the answer, I will stop network marketing to have more time serving Yahuwah and my family while making more. I will take my part-time freelance graphic design business more full time and be able to work with certain niches and control my work week, etc.

It sounded good, but it quickly got out of hand when I wanted I should have said no to a friend’s business proposal. I am still somewhat of a recovering people pleaser and got caught up in that old me for a bit. It sounded good, he could do the marketing while I did the graphics, we could make more, help more and save more time, right?

Then before I knew it that targeted niche became mega broad along with everything else. It started to become harder to finish my site, like I had a load of bricks that kept piling up on my back. I was starting to wonder what was wrong with me, my partner kept reassuring me this is what we needed to be doing to make all the money we needed to do what we wanted to do, etc. It sounded good, but if it was so good why was I not feeling so good?

I prayed sometimes 3x a day asking Yahuwah, am I doing the right thing, is this what you want of me? If so, take this feeling from me. If not, tell me what to do!

The weekend of the 3rd, it all hit me like a mac truck. I was settling, I was about to embark on adventure that was not what I was suppose to be doing and it would cause me more heartache, pain, stress and keep me away from what I needed to be doing and what I really wanted to be doing all along. Which is serving Yahuwah, learning, sharing & living His ways 110%. I have been longing for this, but felt I was not good enough and let the spirit of fear of me not having a traditional business get to me.

Forgive me, my Father! How foolish I have been. I have wasted your precious blessings, your precious days. I repent and choose to change to throw caution to the wind and trust in you & you alone.

My friend was pretty bummed when I broke the news after much praying. At first he thought Shatan (Satan) was attacking me. However, I knew this was not the case. The sweet Ruach will always warn you when you are about to make a wrong turn. The Ruach will keep reminding you and never give up on you even when you have given up on yourself. The Ruach and the Father are always calling us and trying to guide us to the right path. I tested it with prayer, with asking the Ruach to comfort me and take this unsettling feeling away. I have learned recently, that when you ask the Ruach for comfort, you will have that in a matter of minutes or less! If you are crying your tears will dried up, if you were afraid you will fear no more and whatever the negative feeling it will cease to exist and a calm rush of peace and comfort will surround you like the best hug you have ever gotten and then some. Don’t believe me? Try it and you will see, just like I did.

So where does this all lead me? Well it leads me to spend Pesach (Passover), Chag HaMatzot (Feast of Unleaved Bread) and Reshit Katzir (Beginning of the Harvest also know as First Fruits) soaking up His Word, teaching what these Feasts days mean to my family, friends and others. Praying and seeking His guidance. Allowing Him to renew me and refine me further. It also leads me to start working on the projects He wants me to.

One will be a site (The Faithful Provider) teaching how to be a faithful provider while relying on the most faithful of all providers! This site will help families give, save, make and spend money according to the Scriptures all while giving Him the glory (as we should be all day every day)!

The next project will be called Sounding The Shofar, this will cover teaching such topics as the truth behind christmas and easter (I intentionally did not capitalize those), why we should care what our Saviour’s name is, the truth behind the word lord and god, the real Feasts, what day is really Shabbat, why Torah is still relevant today, modesty, eating according to the scriptures and so much more.

While I am preparing the graphics and the sites, we will also be cleaning house! I have been sitting on at least a couple grand of clothing, shoes, household good, etc. that we planned on selling and then tithing 10%. However, I never get to it and Chaz has finally agreed to the lets use this as our tithe, lets give it to those who need it now. A lot of people think they can only tithe money, but you can also tithe food, clothing, goods and your services too. We are working at giving at least 10% of our money, goods, food and services each month to in need and work at increasing that number each month.

We found a nice place in Raleigh, NC called Raleigh Rescue who will take the household goods, and clothing for men, women and children to provide for the homeless and those struggling.

I am not done yet and I already have 3 1/2 33 gallon trash bags stuffed. We are preparing to take them on 7th day (Sat.).

It feels so great to be able to help, it is also a blessing to see my husband on board and my 4 1/2 year old Jaya so excited to give back.

I am also taking about $500 (maybe more) in merchandise and burning it. From books, cds and dvds and some jewelry. I have been wanting to do this for almost a year now, while my husband wanted me to sell it. You are probably thinking why not give these away too right? I am not going to give or sell, because I have a divine duty not to encourage nor spread these lies any more. Most are in perfect shape, but they are going into the fire because they do not lead people to Yahuwah, instead the aim to drive people away from Him. The worst of it would be my old Wiccan and New Age Law of Attraction Books. But trust me just because the music and videos don’t openly promote these two religions, they are still heavily promoting them through imagery and music. Don’t believe? That’s cool, just make sure you research what’s really going on in Hollywood, the entertainment industry as a whole and the world. So instead of putting these things into the hand of another, I would rather know I did not spread the virus of lies and further.

So we are binging and purging the old literally, physically and spiritually!

My challenge to you is to do the same! It’s time to renew your faith and your life. I pray you are up for the challenge!

As for when this ol’ blog and when will I be finished revamping it… Well, I am putting it last again… But this time, it is for the right reasons!

While I am building the other sites I mentioned, I will be writing in here more. Keep your eyes peeled for information about the upcoming feasts as well as updates on great deals to help you cut your budget so you can pay off your debt and give the rest away!

Talk to you soon!

May Yahuwah bless you & keep you & yours!

P.S. I will try my best to keep the next post shorter

P.S.S. If Yahuwah (HWHY/YHWH), called you and asked you to meet Him starting on the 18th, would you clear your schedule just to meet Him OR make excuses? When we try to follow the  Holidays of the world vs. His Feast Days, we are missing out an a divine appointment He created for us to meet with Him. Are you missing yours?

Tomorrow, I am going to start on a project that I have procrastinated on way too long. Not because I wanted to be doing so, but because I am seriously stuck in a creative rut! I have no idea what to do for my own custom branded blog/site/logo.

I have no issues whipping up custom blogs, logos, capture pages, etc. that fit my clients & their products just right; reading them like I have known them all my life… But for me, I am stuck & have been stuck for literally two years! I cannot even figure out what color combo I want to use. Why is this???

I literally put up a clean simple blog that I rarely write in (I am guessing because it does not feel like it is even my blog) and only got that far because I knew I had to at least do something. I think the main problem is I like too many color combos, too many styles and I don’t know what really ‘fits’ me the most.

Then I have been wondering do I make this just a personal blog or more like a buffet displaying a bunch of me, but still have niche blogs for specific service areas e.g. social media services & tips… Or maybe a splash page intro where they can click if they want to go to my personal info, learn about social media, learn about spirituality, learn about frugal living, etc. This is exactly what happens when you enjoy too many things and are well versed in too many things… INDECISION!

Why can I figure this out for complete strangers but not myself? Am I too close to my subject, me? Is there some fear hidden in finally getting up my portfolio and services? I am not sure, but I am sure that I am open to your feedback & suggestions!

All I know is I have to do this. My business had been growing pretty good for a girl with no portfolio up (thanks to my awesome and loyal clients and their word-of-mouth praise to others)… However, I know IF I really want to do the things YaHuWaH is calling me to do, that I have to step it up BIG TIME. That concentrating on building every one else’s brand superbly and leaving mine blowing in the wind is frankly not good enough and really never was in the first place. I have to start giving myself the same level of service and TLC that I give my clients. I have to break through this creative rut no matter what.

So common, I am listening, I am praying, I am asking, I am seeking and I am knocking… Enlighten me!

Today marks a very sad day for us, well really the 5th and the 6th of #October as we went to the hospital on October 5th 2005 to find out our baby boy was dead. He was born #stillborn on the 6th. It was and still is the hardest thing I have ever been through and still affects me deeply even 5 years later. Some days it feels like it was just yesterday, while others it feels like it has been so long since I got to see him and hold his breathless body, wondering what I did to deserve him being gone. I have learned so many things good and bad from that event and am still learning from him and that point in time.

I almost lost my mind literally 2 times that night, knowing if I let my self slip into the darkness that was trying to swallow me whole, that I would never return. IF I let this darkness consume, I knew I would be locked in a cell rocking myself in a catatonic state for the rest of my life. I also heard a voice the 2nd time which was the strongest one, a voice telling me, “This was not meant to break you.” That voice, which I now attribute to YaHuWaH is what kept me strong enough not to slip into the abyss.

To My #AngelBornAsleep My Dear #Ayden,

My arms and heart still ache to hold you, but this year I can finally have some bit of peace knowing you are with our Heavenly Father. You are in the only perfect hands that exist. No one, including me could take care of you better. That of course does not make me wish I was the one taking care of you any less, but gives me some peace knowing you are with the best.

I still wonder when I talk to you, if you can hear me and sometimes I swear you do because it’s as if I can feel your presence near me.

I pray often that YaHuWaH will make sure you know how much you are loved by me, because sometimes I am not sure you know just how much I truly do.

I also ask for him to let me see you before I meet you for eternity, because I want to tell you myself that I love you, I want to see you alive, I want to kiss your head, count your toes and see your belly button. This I did not do when I had the chance, because I was out of it and apparently even the doctors, nurses and everyone else was too. The person who thinks of everything above and beyond, totally failed when it mattered most. Something I am still working on forgiving myself for amongst not heeding the obscure warning sign the night before that would have saved your life.

I was sad, angry and hurt that your father was treating me the way he did and instead of wondering why his family who had not talked to me, lied to him and told him I was going to the hospital… Normally I would have thought that was strange and took it as a sign to go, but when he accused me of lying to get him to stay with me that night and called me horrible names, though I swore I had not even talked to them, I just was upset he would not believe me and left wondering why they would tell such a lie.

So your father would not come and stay with me though I could go into labor at any moment, nor would he give me his extra cell phone even though mine was on the fritz and had to walk to the store just to call him. Your grandparents came all the way from Spring Hill, to South Tampa to give me theirs. They even asked me if I felt okay and if you were okay and if I wanted to go to the hospital just in case. That was the second sign. I felt fine despite being upset, so I did not see the point and declined.

Those signs I would have normally taken as such I was blind to from all the negative emotions I was feeling. I have learned my lesson, the hardest one I have ever dealt with. I know that was the Ruach HaKodesh working through others, trying to help me save you from a fate I could not have known.

I wish I would have had my mindset stronger back then, that I would not have let your father and the bad things he did back then effect me so strongly, that I would have started reading the scriptures back then or even shortly after, but alas it took me till #September 2008 to start, then Bob died and I stopped. I did not restart again until Sept. 2009 again when I got the same hunger I got the previous year, same time, but much stronger.

I realize how much less pain and torment I would have been in, if I would have surrendered years ago, how much better our lives would be.

Alas, I pray that you can forgive me for not seeing the signs and protecting you enough to save your life. I pray that YaHuWaH can help me forgive myself 100% because I have yet to be able to do so and I know until I do my success at life will be hindered.

As you probably already know or at least I hope you do, Jaya talks about you a lot, she loves her angel brother so much and she also cannot wait to see you face to face one day.

Your father has struggled more silently about his responsibility in what happened, he is finally starting to believe in YaHuWaH and I know if he allows himself to be healed of his #Bipolar and #PTSD he will be the great person he was born to be. I pray he will allow himself to be healed.

I love you and miss you and will do everything I can to make sure we meet again when YaHuWaH decides it is my time to do so. I will also do what I can to share what I learn along the way with our loved ones, so they too can meet you one day.

Looking forward to the day I can hug and hold you, give you a kiss, tell you how much I love you and ask you for forgiveness face to face.

May Yahuwah bless you and keep you & yours!

‘I will bless the YaHuWaH at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.’ ~TehaleYAim (Psalms) 34:1

‘Test all things and hold firmly that which is good.’ ~1  ThessalonikiAH (Thessalonians) 5:21

For the past several nights in Benson, NC it got down to a low enough temperature that I could FINALLY open up the windows and turn off the A/C while we slept. Both mornings I arose to a house that smelled absolutely DIVINE and refreshing! I rarely buy air fresheners as there are only a few I can find that are all natural and not toxic in an aisle of toxic substances that most people are gladly inhaling…

However, I know what the toxic and non smell like and despite them trying to replicate clean breeze, fresh air, ocean breeze, crisp air, mountain spring and plethora of other fresh air sounding names, they just can never live up to their names! NOTHING BEATS the real ocean breeze, real country air, real mountain air and any other truly fresh air. They try to compete with our Creator, but they just cannot do it.

Last year we did not have a dryer and the one thing I could not get over was how awesome our clothes, etc. smelt. I don’t buy dryer sheets even now that we have a dryer and am considering doing a half dry in my dryer and the rest outside just to be able to save some money AND get the best scent on our laundry… REALLY FRESH AIR! I would have never gotten a dryer, if I could have figured out how to keep our laundry from getting faded eventually or got them to dry well in the winter! I did figure out how using vinegar and baking soda kept them nice and soft! If any one knows how to keep them from fading or how to dry them in the middle of winter, please do let me know!

Be honest… Do you buy Glade, Febreze or any other air fresheners, fabric fresheners, dryer sheets, etc.? If so, please do yourself and your family a favor (this goes for candles and incense too), make sure you know what you are using and the effects it has on you and your family’s health. Toxic substances are all over the place and on such high demand ONLY because most of us are fools to buy it without “proving” whether it is something we should be breathing in at all. If everyone started to prove all things, I have a feeling people would spend a lot less money on “air fresheners” and the like, amongst many other things.

So I DARE YOU to take your health and well being in your hands and be smart enough to know what exactly is in those canisters, candles, wall plugins, incense, fragrance oils, dryer sheets, laundry detergents, etc. that you buy… Also do yourself another favor and take in as much fresh air as weather permits as it’s amazing for your health, mental clarity and medicine for your soul. It is also the best air freshener that money can’t buy ; )

I look forward to hearing your experiences from the dare!

Put on the whole armor of YHWH (YaHuWaH) that you may be able to stand against the schemes of Satan. ~ EphesiYA (Ephesians) 6:11
