"As above, so below" (You say you want change, prove it!)
”As above, so below," means that our actual atmosphere is a reflection of whatever thoughts and feelings we hold within ourselves and vice versa. I have known this to be true in my life but at times I’ve allowed myself to forget.
Sometimes we get so loaded down with life’s issues that we forget the lessons we have learned from our past. We fail to remember the truths that have saved us from stress, pain, worry and etc. We allow the bull junk in our lives to cloud our vision. Why we do this, I don’t know but I do know that we are all works in progress and learning is a process. The key is that if you truly desire change, you must start somewhere; there can be no journey without a beginning. If your life is full of clutter, chaos and confusion your physical atmosphere will show it even if you try to hide it or if you refuse to see it. It will show itself manifested in your home, your car, in your bedroom drawers, in your experiences and so on.
So last night I began my “ridding/cleansing” process and I started with my closet. I noticed that I felt anxiety while I was choosing what needed to go. At that time, I chose to be very honest with myself. I stopped in that very moment and analyzed how I was feeling and I asked myself why I was feeling that way. In my honesty, I admitted to myself that sometimes I hold onto things and people because I am afraid I'll go without if I don't. I am frightened I won’t have enough money to replace the items that I give away. I am afraid I will be alone if I get rid of certain people, even if they have proved to be ineffective in my life. The appearance of instability frightens me. Even though I know it’s only an illusion I still allow it to rob me of my freedom, my clarity and sometimes my sanity. After I finished with the clothes, I moved onto the shoes. Before I began I had to pause, brace myself and increase my will power because like most women and some men, I have a deep and devout relationship with my shoes. Because of that I assumed ridding certain pairs of shoes would be harder but once I started seeing all the "stuff" I allowed to clutter my atmosphere and hence my life, I got more excited about clearing it all out so the new could manifest itself in my reality! The freedom I felt and the pride I experienced when I was done was indeed fierce, fearless, phenomenal and empowering!
My question to you is this: Are you scared of letting go? If so, why do you hold onto things, people, habits and etc., if they have been of no good use to you? Do you have clothes, shoes and other “things” in your environment that you have not seen in the last 6 months? Do you have people in your lives that have not proved that they deserve to be around you but yet, you keep them around anyway? Do you continue habits that you know are unhealthy for you but you use every excuse in the book to continue on with them? Why?
If this is YOU, Listen closely! We are petrified of letting go. We fear loneliness, we fear looking unstable to other people; we are scared that if we rid ourselves of the clutter that we might feel like we have nothing at all. We are afraid that if we are forced to pay attention to the mess in our lives; we will realize that we created it, that we are the cause. Who wants to admit that?! Who wants to take responsibility for the experiences in their lives? We only want to claim the good things and experiences; we blame the “bad stuff” on other folks. We fail to understand that the clutter is what is holding us back! We fail to recognize that the clutter we place in our lives is causing the stress, pain, worry and etc. and only we can get rid of it. We fail to comprehend this powerful point – How can the blessings we truly desire show up in our lives if we refuse to rid ourselves of the old things that are blocking them? We must erase those unproductive and sabotaging thoughts and replace them with productive and progressive thoughts! We must clean inside and out! We first must choose to begin our beginning NOW!
Until next time,

Looking 4 Love in all the ______ places!
When you find yourself in a relationship that causes feelings within you that are not particularly favorable, what is your first move?
·Do you ask yourself why this individual is continuously treating you this way but you stay anyway?
·Or do you pack your bags, flip them the bird and jump on the first thing smokin’?
If you've answered honestly about your current or past relationships, your answer was most likely closely related to the 1st option. If you won’t be honest with me at least be honest with yourself. We have all settled for a relationship that was less deserving than what we actually desired for ourselves. And if you've never experienced such a relationship, kudos to you and I hope you continue on your wonderful journey of self-realization. Unless you are in complete and utter denial and therefore you will continue to be a repeat offender until you choose otherwise.
I am your subconscious, listen…”I love them, I see his/her potential; I see how good he/she could be if I didn’t give up on them, if I take a little more time to see them through; they will change for the better.” Blah blah blah!!!
In the meantime their ways have not changed. They continue treating you the same while you sit on the sideline occupying an ineffective space as a blind optimist. Why? What is it about human nature that causes us to put our self-worth on the backburner in order to put someone else’s insecurities on the forefront? What is it about human nature that we refuse to see people for who they are in that moment but instead we choose to see them for who we want them to be? We invest more energy into pacifying the uncertainties of other people than we do in spending time to build and increase our self-value.
We have been brought up to believe that we are somehow divinely connected to one other human being, we call this individual our soul mate and we are undeniably convinced that this person exists. We believe that people should be coupled and we have been taught that if we are not coupled with another person (especially by a certain age); we are not as valuable as we would be if we were connected with this individual. Wow, no freaking pressure there!!!!
What do we do because of this belief? We spend our lives searching for this being outside of ourselves and upon finding this person we expect them to not only validate us but complete us. Even when we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the person is unhealthy for us, we stick with them because to be without a potential soul mate we would be seen as lonely, tainted, not marriage worthy and a bunch of other bullsh!t labels that society places on single people.
Another issue: Women, yes I am talking directly to you sweetie pies. We are always trying to fix someone. We want to mother our partners. We are innately nurturing beings and we tell ourselves: “Oh, they didn’t get enough love as a child, it’s not their fault.” They just need more time to see how I'm a good woman and once they recognize it, they will change and treat me better.” We cringe at the thought of being in our thirties and still being single! I could go on but I believe you get my point. Sigh…I know, I know I’ve done it too.
So...since I have said all of this, you think I’m about to give you the ultimate solution right? You believe I’m going to lay it all out for you plain and simple, don’t you? Well shoot if I had all of the answers I would be stinking rich! I’d have Arab money. I would put all of my relationship solutions in a series of self-help books, sell them to you for $15 a pop, I would go on Oprah, she would promote my books and I would raise the price to $25! Pwahaha!!!
Seriously, the only answer I can give you is You. You must understand that if you do not present yourself as a person who deserves to be loved in a healthy manner; no one will see you as being, deserving. You cannot expect someone else to treat you as a queen or a king, if you see yourself as a peasant inside. It just doesn’t work that way. You have to get to a point to where you don’t look down on yourself just because you are not in a relationship. You don’t need anyone to validate or complete you. You have to work on completing yourself from the inside out. You have to take responsibility for your own emotions; no one controls them but you. You cannot keep playing the victim and feeling sorry for yourself every time you get hurt due to a relationship. There comes a time when you must look within yourself and seek out what the real issue is. The cycle begins and ends with you.
There’s a saying that states, "You attract who you are." So if you are walking around self-defeated, insecure and feeling down on yourself, you are only going to attract someone with similar insecurities. If a person is self-doubting, even if they don’t tell you, it will manifest in their behaviors. Do not ignore this! Hurting people, hurt people and you cannot save the world by acting as if you are some blind optimistic mother nurturing super being. You will only hurt yourself in the process. You must Love within to discover Love without…
Until next time,

Are you living by design or by default?
In my past life, I lived by default. I allowed life to guide me instead of guiding my life where I wanted it to go. I permitted the opinions and judgments of other people to dictate my actions and my emotions, whether they were family members that I admire, significant others or particular people I worked with. I have always been a “go getter,” so to speak but I was also a conformist in regard to my “go-getting.” I did what mostly all of us do; I graduated from high school, attended college, graduated and so on. I did what my family and society wanted me to do. I did what was expected of me. I never asked why, to me that was not an option. In addition, I never asked myself what I truly desired for my life. I even began writing by default, but later realized it was truly mine by design.
Does this behavior sound/feel familiar to you? Can you honestly say that you are living out your dreams or are you just going with the flow, and doing what’s expected of you? Do you know why you exist in this world, have you any idea what your purpose is, do you feel as if you are without purpose or does it not matter to you?
Why are we so afraid? A lot of us are terrified at the thought of going against the grain. We are scared to break the mold; we often neglect to try something different. We hold our dreams and our desires within us tucked away, only letting them out when we think no one is looking. We feel that if we do something dissimilar, other than what the people around us expect us to do, we will lose them or their love and support. But let me ask you this: If someone does not support you in finding true happiness within yourself, can you really say that they love you appropriately? Or are they attempting to put their selfish desires on us instead of allowing us to be free and to live within our wants and desires? Let’s be real with ourselves here. We might say that we are free but just because we cannot see the chains doesn’t mean that they don’t exist. Think about it, are you allowing your life to be bound by the requirements of others? (Hmmm, I got you thinking huh? Well I hope so…)
The great thing about life is that it is YOUR life so if you would rather just go with the flow, you can do that,”no worries.” But if you have even a minuscule desire to make a difference in your life and in the lives of others, you must first take responsibility for your life. It all starts with one decision and that decision is to live by design instead of living by default. If you wish to make even the smallest mark on this world before your last earthly transmission, you must decide to seek within yourself in order to discover your purpose. Believe or not, everyone has a purpose. Everything happens for a reason, including your existence on this Earth. Your life is a blessing, no matter who you are, no matter your skin color, your age, your sexuality, your gender or your profession. You matter!
As for myself, nowadays I am a realized woman, I understand who I am, I understand my purpose, I understand that I am the decider of what takes place in my life and I understand that the possibilities are endless and therefore there are no limitations to what I can do, who I can be and what I can have. I am a forward thinker. I plan my moves strategically in my head; I make my desires become real in my mind so that they can transpire in my physical reality. I live with a renewed mind and by a destiny that is mine and in everything I do, I do it by design!

Understanding Him
We often say that men and women are so different but actually that’s not true. Men have been taught that they have to be different from us women. They are raised to be hard and to act like they don’t need anyone to comfort, support and understand them. It’s not until a man gets tired of carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders or he matures and gets closer to his spiritual/nonegotistical self that he realizes that he innately needs and wants to be consoled, reassured and appreciated. The unrealized man sees him as being weak; not knowing that the stronger man of the two understands that the need to be and feel loved is not a flaw. Real strength is shown when a man does not give a damn about the opinions or judgments of others. A realized man understands and is secure in the fact that his woman’s bosom is the safest, most relieving and most loving place he can be. © 2012 Tiffany Carr

The 30 day Fierce, Fearless & Phenomenal life challenge for women with Frantonia M Pollins!
For the last 11 days, I have been participating in this life challenge group with other women across the globe. I consider myself to be a pretty balanced person who knows how to seek within myself in order to understand what is going on with me and fix what needs to be fixed. BUT let me tell you something…Sometimes it takes another person to come into your life that has been where you are and has did the work that you're currently doing, in order for you to see and seek a little deeper than you were before.
For years I have wondered why my fabulous gift in writing, didn’t match the current experiences I was having in my life. I would ask myself, why am I not some motivational and inspiring guru with millions of readers and fans? I know that I have been blessed with a gift different from any other person. This is not my current reality because my dreams didn’t match because of the manner in which I was treating myself. My actions did not match my desires for my life. In certain situations I would allow myself to settle for less than what I deserve and by doing that I was blocking my blessings! As soon as I recognized this and immediately began to correct it, the doors of opportunity in love and business started to pour in! I am not exaggerating; it was instant!
This morning we had our first FREE conference call and as we all listened in while Frantonia spoke, another realization hit me! I am not alone! Not only did she speak of situations that I‘ve personally experienced in my life and thoughts I have created in my head but at the end of the call, other women also spoke of their experiences. Just to know that I am not the only one and that other women experience these things in their lives as well, made me feel like I could overcome these issues! No more feeling guilty for wanting and obtaining success! No more not celebrating my accomplishments! No more settling for men that don’t know how to treat a queen like me. No more surrounding myself with people that don’t consistently support me! No more Mediocrity for Me!!!
I am overwhelmed in this moment and so excited to continue this challenge. It has only been 11 days and my life has changed so much. Doing the daily worksheets has helped me with reaching deep within myself in order to seek, find and repair issues within me that are blocking my blessings in love/relationships and in my business. I am certain that the blessings will continue to pour on me and I am so grateful!

Out with the Old & In with the New
If you want your life to be different than what it is right now, you have to be willing to let go of the people, habits and things that aren't productive as well as conducive to what you want for yourself and your life experience. When you allow the old and useless things to hang around, they prevent the new possibilities and opportunities from entering into your life. You must demonstrate faith and let go in order to make way for the blessings you truly desire.
I understand that change is not always easy, especially when you have to release something that you have held onto for so long. But you must understand that sometimes we have to work for the things or the experiences we want in our lives. If you want a loving relationship, you have to let go of the pain of the past, you have to heal in order to allow your love to show and grow. If you desire financial stability; you should alter your unhealthy spending habits. If you want to be physical healthy; you have to change your diet, relieve stress in appropriate ways and exercise. Nothing worthwhile comes without sacrifice.
But I will tell you this, anything can be let go if it leads you to increased happiness in your life. Isn’t that what life is about? You being happy…
Since I love you, I will share with you a sneak preview from my upcoming book, A Soul’s Stroll: A 40 Day Journey to Discovering Spiritual Fulfillment.
Pain Changed: Never curse pain, for it promotes internal change. Without change, life would be mundane. We were not made to remain the same. Embrace sorrow, for it only exists in the presence of love and it is through our hurt that we can discover a heightened capacity to love and to forgive others and most imperatively ourselves. With each hurt, a hidden treasure, an unearthing, a lesson, an opportunity to understand and remember that, love is the greatest entity, the supreme and divine healer. Even in the midst of change we must continue to love.

Dating: The Interview
Dating: Isn’t it something like a trying to get a J-O-B. First you put in your application (The flirt), Waiting for a call back (The response), Going for the interview (The 1st date), Waiting to see if they are interested in you (The callback) and then if they do hire you, the probationary period could possibly last for 90 days, if not longer (Thanks Steve Harvey, thumbs down ~ Smile)!
But seriously, sometimes dating does feel like a job and until you find that special someone you most likely are willing to work overtime trying. If you’ve been out of the dating loop for a while, it might really seem like work to you. Technology has totally changed the dating game. People don’t talk on the phone any longer, they text or email. More people meet online nowadays rather than in person because people spend more time in front of their computers and on their phones than they used to. You must find out how to bypass a person’s personal representative before you are able to meet them face to face. Where else do you spend a lot of time on the computer and on the phone? I’ll tell you where. Wait for it…at work!
So should people take dating as serious as they would if they were trying to get a job or are they totally different from one another? The process to me seems very similar and to some people finding a mate is as essential as their financial stability. When it comes down to it, if you are ready to settle down, you most likely are very serious about your dating experiences. The proof is in the pudding: We put on our Sunday's best, we ensure we are well groomed and smelling nice. Ladies we get our hair and nails done. Guys you get fresh haircuts and maybe even some new kicks. Aren’t these the same rituals we perform before job interviews? I think you get my point…
Yet and still, there are some differences between dating and a job. For one, you’re not getting paid to date, well actually you might be but that’s a different topic coming to a blog near you lol. But instead, you are paying to date; especially if you are a man (chivalry isn’t dead). If you are serious about your money, of course you are very particular about how it’s spent, right? In addition to money you are also paying with your time and I'm sure you’ve heard that old cliché, “Time is precious and not to be wasted” so we should do our best to ensure every moment counts for something worthwhile.
So the general consensus is...(drum roll please!) Dating is like work! And no matter how we try to front or fake it, we take it very seriously and why shouldn’t we? If you are looking for that certain something that could possibly last a lifetime, it should be taken seriously. And after all of the time, money, grooming and etc. we spend on dating, I’ll tell you this much...The benefits better be BOMB!

Hey don't I know you??
In order to understand people, one has to be able to look beyond a person's surface. People's actions are only outward indicators of how they feel about themselves. You have to learn to not be distracted by their actions but instead you must understand the reasoning behind the actions, why the actions exist. Then you can begin to understand them better. But of course none of this is possible until you first understand your own Self.

Celebrate good times, come on!! Singing of course
I've recently realized that I've been celebrating life but doing it all inappropriately. With all the hustle of life, the coming & going, the taking care of our responsibilities & etc. sometimes we forget to stop & give ourselves a pat on the back. And sometimes even a simple pat on the back might not be good enough.
I am currently participating in a 30 day fierce, fearless and phenomenal life challenge with Life Coach Frantonia Pollins and one of our recent tasks was to jot down approximately 5-6 things we have accomplished in the last 5 years. Next to the accomplishments we were asked to state how we celebrated those accomplishments. So ok I've got this, it'll be a piece of cake. In the passed 5 years, I've published my 1st book, I've gotten the job I wanted to manifest, I've purchased my 1st car (all of the others were gifted to me...I was a spoiled little sister in my former life), I've earned my Masters degree in Business & I've ended an unhealthy relationship. Alright!! Now for the celebration section...1, 2, 3 go!!! I've got nothing. But wait a minute, something must be wrong! I'm an optimist, I'm a free spirit, life is a grand blessing to me. You mean to tell me I just allowed my accomplishments to pass me by without any kind of celebratory activities? That's exactly what I did. This realization hit my chest with might and tears began to fill my eyes. I've been celebrating life but I've neglected to specifically celebrate my own life. All my life, it has been my nature to just move onto the next task without even recognizing what obstacles I've conquered and celebrating myself for my progress.
So now that I know this, now what? Now that I've realized that I've been treating myself like a red headed step child (no offense to any red headed step children in the listening audience) what do I do? I'll tell you what I'm going to do. As we speak I am treating myself to a breakfast for a champion at Starbucks : ) And after this, I'm going to go get a pedicure and possibly a massage. This afternoon, I'll go to a movie and watch not just 1 but maybe 2 movies. You've guessed it, I'm theatre hopping and later I'll join my rainbow coalition buddies for the Las Vegas PRIDE Parade and a night of good ole Sin City sin! This might not sound like a lot to some but its more than what I've done for myself in a long while and I'm excited about it! And this is just the beginning of me not just celebrating life but even more specifically celebrating MY LIFE!
Never forget about you! Life is not always smoove sailing, all of us weren't born with a silver spoon in our mouths and we have climbed some pretty steep hills to get where we are. Recognize your accomplishments and celebrate yourself!! If no one else gives you kudos for what you've accomplished thus far, forget them give yourself a high five and treat yourself to some good ole Starbucks lol.
Until next time, Tiffany Michellè
I am currently participating in a 30 day fierce, fearless and phenomenal life challenge with Life Coach Frantonia Pollins and one of our recent tasks was to jot down approximately 5-6 things we have accomplished in the last 5 years. Next to the accomplishments we were asked to state how we celebrated those accomplishments. So ok I've got this, it'll be a piece of cake. In the passed 5 years, I've published my 1st book, I've gotten the job I wanted to manifest, I've purchased my 1st car (all of the others were gifted to me...I was a spoiled little sister in my former life), I've earned my Masters degree in Business & I've ended an unhealthy relationship. Alright!! Now for the celebration section...1, 2, 3 go!!! I've got nothing. But wait a minute, something must be wrong! I'm an optimist, I'm a free spirit, life is a grand blessing to me. You mean to tell me I just allowed my accomplishments to pass me by without any kind of celebratory activities? That's exactly what I did. This realization hit my chest with might and tears began to fill my eyes. I've been celebrating life but I've neglected to specifically celebrate my own life. All my life, it has been my nature to just move onto the next task without even recognizing what obstacles I've conquered and celebrating myself for my progress.
So now that I know this, now what? Now that I've realized that I've been treating myself like a red headed step child (no offense to any red headed step children in the listening audience) what do I do? I'll tell you what I'm going to do. As we speak I am treating myself to a breakfast for a champion at Starbucks : ) And after this, I'm going to go get a pedicure and possibly a massage.

Give it up!!
How can you be blessed if you don't take the time to give? Money is always your 1st thought in regard to giving, right? Well let's flip the script!! How about this: Give up your WORRY, give up your PAIN, give up your STRIFE, give up JEALOUSY, give up SELF DEFEATING THOUGHTS, give up your INSECURITIES!!! Whatever you do just GIVE! And sit back & watch the BLESSINGS pour upon You!!!
Until next time, Tiffany Michellè

No hand-me-downs please!!!
For the life of me, I cannot figure why I keep getting approached by either married men or men who are unmarried but supposedly dating one woman keep approaching me with flirtatious intentions. It's like I have a stamp on my forehead that states, "Hey come talk to me, I like other women's sloppy seconds." I mean really the only time being someone's mistress has any value is when being someone's mistress has a monetary value. (Just kidding, ok no I'm not lol.)
But seriously what is it about a person that makes them step outside their relationship on a regular basis to seek things from other people? Why is one person not enough?
When a person consistently steps outside of themselves to get some kind of gain from another person, do they feel as if they are lacking something that they cannot get from themselves? It's an insecurity. These are the people that think and live by the notion that it takes someone else to make them happy. They think that their thirst can only be quenched by other people fulfilling it. They are "the takers."
Being a taker's "giver" will only suffice if the giver is also either insecure and thinks it takes to have a taker to be happy or the giver is ignorant of the taker's other relationship and is in the bliss state and therefore hears no evil, sees no evil or the giver is an uncover taker but the 1st taker is unaware that the giver has an ulterior motive, for example a monetary motive, wink wink.
This game can go many rounds for some people but once a person become realized and understands what they want out of life and they yearn true love, quick fixes no longer tantalize their taste buds. They desire a flavor they can savor, something real and lifetime long. They understand that their time and space are much too precious, their existence is of value and they are not just a piece of @$$. So to the taker they can profess... "Thank you but no thank you. In regard to your hand me downs, I'll pass. I have no issues waiting for something that is promised to last."
Until next time...
