Overwhelmed..

I just finished the first week my Step 1 review course and it blew my mind at the amount of information that I was supposed to have retained...The scriptures says in Song of Solomon 2:15 that, "it's the little foxes that spoil the vines, for our vines have tender grapes,"  meaning that I must pay attention to the details and not let the small things destroy my dreams....I can do it!

I was really concerned about sitting in a class room 8 hrs a day and just going over just one subject. Last week we covered BioChemistry.  I thought it would bore me crazy.  But, I found that the information shared over those hours was much needed, and some what exciting....I can't believe I said that out loud...LOL...At the end of the day I was exhausted.  I did not have the energy to put in 5 more hours of study as suggested.

So, I have to re-think my game plan.  I'm hoping this coming week will be a better week.  I have to figure out a way to get more energy.  Studying here in US requires more time and preparation.  The difference in studying in US vs on Dominica is in Dominica I did not have to commute anywhere..I just rolled out of bed and walked a few steps to my desk and planted myself for the next 12hrs.  But, with taking this course, I have to get up at 6:30 am, get dress and drive 35 min or more to sit in class for 8 hrs, then the drive home is at least 45 mins...by the time I get home it's 6 pm and I'm exhausted.  I tried taking a short nap..but, after that I'm still not into my groove of studying...because, I'm thinking I need to get to sleep early so I can feel rested the next day...So, in actuality I'm only getting 2 hrs on average of review after class, if that much....

Where do I fit my gym time in here?  For the next few weeks we only get 1 day off....So, going 8 hrs a day for 6 days a week and then supposedly putting in 5 hrs after class....How do I do this?  I always say, if there is a will there is a way...I have to figure this out.....This is the time I earnestly seek the WISDOM of GOD...I know I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.  I will figure this out...I will come out on top....As the Carrie Underwood song says, "Jesus take the wheel," I need direction....

Happy NEW Years...2014....Love Myself More....

How did you spend your New Years Eve?   Did you spend it with family? friends?  Did you go to a swinging party?  Did you stay in and watch the crystal ball drop in NYC?  No matter how you spent your evening, I pray that you were at peace.  I pray that you were whole.  I pray that your expectations for the NEW YEAR was at its all time high!

Now, Take that positive energy, that excitement about 2014 and use it to fuel your drive to accomplish your desires this year.  CHANGE your world this year! Accomplish something that you have always dreamed of...no matter how BIG or how small...It can be done this year.  With 363 days left in this wonderful year, it can be done...Start today...Start NOW!

Dr. Wayne Dyer posted on FB,  "What if the only resolution you made was to love yourself more?"  For we know that if we truly love ourselves, it will spill over to others.  This is my resolution this year...

How do love myself?  Does it mean that I should become self indulgent? Does it mean I will think of myself first?  Does it mean that I serve my needs above others?  I don't think so...To love myself more this year, would be to take better care of ME, not just the outward person, most importantly, the inward spirit that I really am.

We are all Spirit that dwell in flesh.  In order for our BEING to be WHOLE, we must love, cater to and nourish the SPIRIT within.  The things that I embody within are the things that I will manifest in 2014.  I did an exercise last night called, "I AM ____________."  Surprisingly, the list was 2 columns wide and filled the whole page.  One thing I've learned from Dr. Dyer is I must know and say, that "I AM CONNECTED to MY SOURCE at all times."  Knowing this will allow my spirit to grow to the greatness it was created to be.

Each year we are either growing or shrinking.  Each step we take towards our destiny unleashes a positive affirmation within our spirit that can not be denied.  Use that step as fuel this year.  Move forward and you will see walls fall, stumbling blocks removed.

I'm starting this wonderfully Blessed Year, loving myself more...walking in Gratitude and Wholeness.  I am whole.  I am Peace.  I am Well.  I am Prosperous.  I am Happy.  I am Strong.  I am Wisdom.  I am Understanding.  I am a GIVER.  I am Moving Forward....

Now, go live your dream....
