Greetings BAye Hive!
Signing in from the Dallas- Fort Worth area of Texas. I’d like to mark
myself safe from the Snowpocalypse of February 2021. I do feel for those still
dealing with the aftermath. They say here everything is big in Texas and I
would have to agree. To include big F-ups! We won’t get into that today.
Praying for those affected and serving when and where I can. Which kind of
falls in line with what I will continue from a previous Instagram post
@professor_poised on Instagram. (https://www.instagram.com/professor_poised/)
I was reflecting after reading a quote I shared on Instagram along with
my thoughts. I had more to say so now I’m blogging the conclusion.
Oh where, oh where would we be without our "why" defined?
Unfortunately, most of us have been there at some point regarding something in
our lives. How can you get to a destination if the purpose is not a part of
you, you don't live it, you don't breathe it?
I’ve always loved helping people out. Being of service to others has
never really been foreign. In fact, I think it may be in my DNA. My maternal
grandmother Gloria fed everybody if they were hungry. She was “Ms. Hall’ to some and “Granny” to many
others. We couldn’t go anywhere without someone on the bus, in a store, walking
down Canal St, New Orleans, saying, “Hey Ms. Hall” waving with a huge grin on
their face. She was light!
I know my grandmother new her purpose. She worked for years as the cook
in many catholic rectories throughout the city. Even though she wasn’t Catholic
the priest loved her and her cooking all the same. She loved on people through
her service to them when in need. My mother serves and naturally I serve.
I have always said if I can just change the course of one person’s life
for the better, I feel that would be huge. Just to have that kind of impact on
a person is extremely humbling. If I can help more than one, I’ll be overjoyed!
Although my grandmother, my mother and myself don’t all serve exactly the same,
I believe that their why, just like mine has been defined. That why is what
keeps us going even when we don’t feel like we can. It’s in us, part of who we
are; it’s what we do.
Step 1! Define your why. I can honestly say answering that
question for myself has helped over the last few months. I still feel like there
is something more and in time I know it will be revealed. We are ever evolving beings
if we allow ourselves space to continue to grow. You define your why, walking in your purpose is so much easier!
🧡💜💙
Unitl next time remain…
You've got this. Chin up, strut fierce!
