Here’s the first installment of “100 Words” for 2008. Lord knows I keep words floating around in my head. And where there are words, there are sentences. Where there are words, there are special messages just waiting for me to assemble them into an Ashe.Selah moment. Feels great to share a hundred of them with you….and me.

As I reviewed my list, I noticed a pattern of opposites. I guess when you’re in a middle space, deciding what and how to feel, you kinda feel everything. And that’s okay, because within process there is progress…and I’m alright with that.

So, let’s get it started. Twenty-five lines of messages. Let’s see what stands out in my spirit this go ’round…..you’re always welcome to play along too!

alright express Love still
It’s still alright to express Love…still.

Words

January 12, 2008

One hundred of them…remember that? How ’bout their hidden inspirational messages? Well, it’s been a minute since I’ve searched my heart, mind, and soul for the month’s fab 100. Words and I are gonna get real close this year, especially with tens of thousands of them to write to finish the novel (or, do I hear novella lol); this will explain much shorter blog posts in the future…unless I’m just full….flow with me.

So, to kick it back off, I thought I’d start with a serenade to words by the awesome five in The Real Group, with a song entitled….you’d never guess………..”Words”. Njoy :-)

Welcome to the May edition of 100 words. I seemed to have blinked, as May flew by. Which is a good thing for some facets of the month…like rebounding from a few life blows….book drama with the family. Other moments, I could have pressed pause. Let life marinate in God’s tenderness to me, favor on my family and business… my heart is so grateful. For every reve[a]lation of me and His intentions.

This early glimpse of summer is beautiful. Every part of me is opened wide in anticipation of more Love, more beauty, more direction, more clarity…the sky is not my limit.

So, here’s the list…and a few messages for this month are…

confident healing protect surrender
Protect your healing process through confident surrender.

different let rebirth understand
After a rebirth, you will be different. Let understanding grow with maturity.

create intimate rain touch
Intimate moments that touch the heart create raindrops for thirsty souls.
