Life

Today when I think about life…Live comes to mind. 

People will abuse you with power and control over you.

Take back your power choose to live a whole life.  No more self pity dying inside because of the negative things that life can bring.  Use it to grow.

Get rid of hurt, shame, and all unpleasant thing you can’t change. 

The key is the face your fears and feelings to heal from the inside out.

I Am…

All of these things. There was a time in my life when I didn’t value myself enough.

Because of domestic violence and abuse from a person that did not love me enough.

When you love someone in the beginning you are not paying attention to their actions but the words they speak.

Overtime you start making excuses for their behavior. Or blame yourself.

The reason…you want to believe and have hope that the person wants better.

The truth is the only way to change is self. Meaning you can only change yourself. If a person want to change they have to put the work in and it takes time. Just like healing.

Love yourself and only keep people in your life the loves you and treat you right.

Best,

Love,

Harmony

What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?

I have decided after several tries of being loving, kind, understanding, supportive, honestly changing and having unconditional love towards others.

That to truly have harmony, you must remove hurtful, toxic, and uncaring people out of your life. All the ones that’s not adding value towards you.

You can still love and be supportive from a distance.

We can not choose our bloodline but we can are friends and who we want in our lives. Sometimes these people hurt us over and over again. We must be the one to stop it.

I choose me. I choose peace, joy, and harmony.

Please give me your thoughts, like and share. Thank you.

My Lifestyle

Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle?

I incorporated prayer, reflection, and self care in my daily life.

Each day that I breathe I’m blessed and thankful.

Because I practice using prayer, reflection, and self care it helps me have a longer life to enjoy my family, friends, and work life.

Vacation

Describe your most memorable vacation.

My most memorable vacation is when I stay home. Of course, I would love to be able to go on vacation on an Island with my person, family or friends. You can enjoy being with people, then have lots of alone time.

So for me, a stay vacation it is. Spend time with myself to relax.

Bathe or shower put on your favorite lotion, perfume and soft clothes.

Calm sounds or nothing at all. Close your eyes and breathe slowly in and out.

After a long while write down whatever comes to mind. Do this as often as you can. The focus is to relieve stress as much as you can.

When you go back to reflect on what you wrote to see how much you have grown or learn your strengths. How much or need to improve.

Memorable Vacation is like memorable moments.

Enjoy each one.

Please tell what you think and like.

Best blessed,

Simply Grace

My Feelings

On what subject(s) are you an authority?

Having authority over something means you are passionate, experienced, and forever learning about it.

I’m an authority with my feelings. Anytime I’m feeling an emotion good or bad I am writing it down in my journal or notes on my phone.

When you write down what happened and how you felt teaches you about you and your feelings.

It’s a record of how you can change to better yourself. When you are whole, you value yourself and you will treat yourself and others better.

Understanding your feelings is important, so be an authority over them.

Who am I “A Specific Purpose for your Life”

Hi Everyone, and welcome. If this is your first time visiting welcome and I’m glad you stopped by. If you been here before welcome back. I appreciate you all.

It’s truly all about Love. It’s important to love yourself, but first do you know who you are?

Who Am I

The best ways to find your true self is to journal. Keep a notepad or writing book with you at all times to write down your thoughts, feelings and events that happened to you.

Think about Who you are? Write whatever comes to mind for 30 days. Then, think about what you want to do with your life? Journal for 30 days.

Journal about your strengths, goals, any other questions that will help you know yourself. Focus on each questions one at a time for 30 days. By the time you are done. You should have a very good idea who you are and what you want to do and how to achieve it.

When you know who you are, you love yourself better. When you love yourself, you know your worth. That leads to you not letting people treat you in abusive ways.

I didn’t know my worth because of domestic violence and abuse.

It’s so important that we love one another, even our enemies.  Please forgive your enemies and all the people that hurt you.   And the people you may have hurt.  You can’t move on with your life from carrying burdens and regrets.

I know the importance of love and my worth. Now, I want to share with you.

A guide to finding your purpose in your life.  Please read this article”A Specific Purpose for your Life”  It helped me and I know it will help you too.

Thank you for reading and please leave a message.  I look forward to hearing from you,

Finding you? Your Purpose in Life

When we stay in an abusive relationships, we suffer and our children suffer the most.  Most times we lose us, our purpose and dreams, only to survive.  It’s time to get back to finding you! Your life matters!

Finding your purpose, take action. Don’t give up.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33).

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11, NIV).

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28).

 Living everyday is a struggle for us but we can change that by trusting in God.  Once we have that personal relationship, we will begin to love yourself.  

When we love us, then we will make better choices.  Only then, we will leave that abusive relationship.

Ask yourself these questions to find out and write them down to hold your self accountable. Take action to finding your purpose in life.

If you had one year to live, what would you do or go everyday?

Try something new?

What do you feel deep in your spirit?

What ignites your passion in your soul?

What comes natural for you?

What idea or ideas you can’t let go of?

What can you do for free?

What do you do and you forget about the time?

Once you answer all these questions, you should know your purpose.

God bless and remember Grace girls rock. Share and comment. Thanks for visiting and come again.

Blessing.

Denise

Love Yourself

It is so important to LOVE YOURSELF!  Guess what, you are beautiful loving and kind!  You are not perfect, and that’s okay because nobody is.  I’m smiling at you.

It’s so hard after leaving an abusive spouse because we love them so much and we believe in them.  We think about the future and the thought of growing old with them.  

Speaking of your future – In reality, we really can’t have a future with  someone who is so selfish who plans to abuse us only because we are nice, caring, nurturing and empathetic.

He wined and dined us.  Used all the right words and we fell in love.  After that the games began.

Remember all the silent treatment.  Up and down mood swings.  All the times you thought you was going crazy.  You weren’t going crazy because, it was him who was playing games with you. 

All the times you took him back.  All the promises to change.  All the abuse. He built you up only to destroy you by bringing  you down.

It’s time to drop him mentally and physically.  Get your healing on and start loving yourself.
