Don’t shame yourself

Don’t ever

shame yourself

for showing up,

admitting or sharing,

only to be shutdown

or even ghosted.

To want to reach out

and describe your struggle

and be understood

is better than holding

it all painfully inside

and to never be seen.

It’s all humanly real.

The risk to be

honest and open.

The exposure from

connecting outside

vulnerability.

The enormous courage

it takes to let your

truth be revealed.

And know in turn,

not everyone can respond

in the way you expect

and believe —

or perhaps at all,

sometimes.

But, don’t ever

shame yourself.

Don’t diminish

your light

for expressing

or become conditioned

to not ask for help

in your time

of great need.

Thank you for teacher 🙌

I choose to remember you

Not by how you hurt me

But by how you taught me to heal

Not by how you left me

But by how you taught me to never abandon myself

Not by how you broke me

But by how you taught me to rebuild myself

Not by how you dimmed my light

But by how you helped me to shine

Not by how you kept me trapped in a place of comfort

But by how you empowered me to leave my comfort zone

Not by how you left me feeling weak

But by how you taught me what it means to be strong

Not by how you tried to control me

But by how you taught me to be free

Not by who you told me who I was

But by how you taught me to define myself

And above all

I choose to remember you

Not by how you were unable to love me

But by how you taught me

To love myself.

If you want your wife to ….

𝗜𝗙 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗪𝗔𝗡𝗧 𝗔 𝗪𝗜𝗙𝗘, 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗡 𝗕𝗘 𝗔 𝗛𝗨𝗦𝗕𝗔𝗡𝗗

1. If you want your wife to make love to you often, then take care of her heart. You cannot mistreat your wife and hurt her then expect great and frequent sex.

2. If you want your wife to respect you, then you have to do respectable and admirable things. You cannot dishonour her and shame her then expect her to excuse your gross misbehavior with a blanket respect. She can’t submit to torture.

3. If you want your wife to feel safe with you and open up to you, then you have to stop emotionally and physically abusing her. You cannot instil fear and wonder why she protects herself from you.

4. If you want your wife to enjoy intimacy with you, then you have to maintain oral and body hygiene. You cannot expect your wife to enjoy kissing you and playing with your penis yet you smell of sweat, you don’t shower, don’t brush your teeth and smell of cigarette, weed or alcohol.

5. If you want your wife to stop complaining, then you need to stop repeating the same wrongs. She complains because she has to call you out when you do wrong since she believes you can be better.

6. If you want your wife to be financially transparent with you and to stop making financial decisions behind your back, then you need to start showing financial responsibility. As long as you keep being reckless, she will save and invest without your knowledge to protect her future and that of the children.

7. If you want your wife to brag about you to people, then do things that make her proud. She cannot pretend that you are a great man yet you are not.

8. If you want your wife to stop nagging and being moody, then you need to make time to spend with her and make her feel special. A woman nags and becomes grumpy when she feels neglected. A loved up wife glows.

9. If you want your wife to stop fighting your friends, then you need to stop surrounding yourself with the wrong friends and allowing your friends to pull you away from your family. You wife is just protecting you.

10. If you want your wife to be proud to be your wife, then you have to do things that make her say “Yes” to you daily. Don’t expect her to be satisfied with the title of wife just because she wears your ring, has a marriage certificate or has your child/children.

11. If you want your wife to help you and support you, then you need to have a vision and share it with her. A woman can only be a helper to a man who knows where he is going and gives her room to build with him.

Holy Time of Soul Making

Soul-making is an ongoing process of the heart, mind and soul. To make our soul, we are constantly engaged with the outer world.

The soul can only be created through deep contemplation and the deconstruction of our socially constructed views about the world around and who are meant to be in this world.

This sacred process of soul-making is not necessarily connected to the Soul that we are born with. It is connected to who we are being in the world and how we let our convictions lead the way.

Because in these challenging times we must rise and be soul-makers. Intentional soul-makers. Purposeful soul-makers. Because to make our soul we are challenged to constantly confront the established paradoxes that often stand against progress and the ennoblement of our human nature.

I am a poet. I am a metaphors maker. I am a soul-makers on a mission to invite my fellow human beings to dig deep and bring forth their power and courage to stand against the wave of misinformation that ravages our planet.

Because I want to stand in the company of soul-deep women, and men. I want to be in the company of humans that reject superficiality, consumerism and mediocrity. None of us was born to stay small and burdened with labels meant to squeeze our voice.

Beloved human, let’s look deeper within and gather to have Soul Deep Conversations. There are so many issues to be involved with. What wound in the world calls you? What bothers you so deeply? What suffering in the world do you have a solution for?

I am with you, soul-makers of the world. Let’s speak up. Let’s not allow the liars to continue their destruction of what we hold sacred. Let’s vote them out. Let us not allow indifference to keep us away from what is wrong in this world. Let us not give in to apathy and doubt.

Because if we do, we will wake up one day and it will be too late. The dark forces are working hard to shadow us with the fear of others. History repeats itself if we are not vigilant. If we are not paying attention. If we are not informed. If we allow our minds and hearts to be filled with soul killing activities.

Let us reject superficiality. Mediocrity. Social illiteracy. Let us reject cultural dogma. Let us read poetry. Literature. Philosophy and anthropology.

Let us look deep into our own soul archaeology and make our souls in alignment with Truth, Kindness, Compassion and Generosity.

I count on you, dear Human Beings. It is not too late. It is not too late.

Build Bridges

“Here’s to the bridge-builders, the hand-holders, the light-bringers, those extraordinary souls wrapped in ordinary lives who quietly weave threads of humanity into an inhumane world. They are the unsung heroes in a world at war with itself. They are the whisperers of hope that peace is possible. Look for them in this present darkness. Light your candle with their flame. And then go. Build bridges. Hold hands. Bring light to a dark and desperate world. Be the hero you are looking for. Peace is possible. It begins with us!”

– L.R. Knost

Blessings to all!

Grown up love

Once you grow up, you realize you don’t want to be crazy in love.

You want to be calm in love,

stable in love, patient in love,

understood in love, safe in love.

Your partner should give you peace of mind and reassurance, not constant little heart attacks and high anxiety.

Soul Mates

I believe that each soul is carefully paired with one true mate in every lifetime. Though love can bloom multiple times, the connection with your soulmate is unparalleled. It’s a profound bond that surpasses love, making this person your heart’s home and life’s anchor. They inspire your passion, nurture your soul, and give you reason to thrive. Finding your soulmate unlocks a deep sense of fulfillment, and together, you embark on life’s journey with purpose and joy.

More important than beauty

“They keep saying that beautiful is something a girl needs to be.

But honestly? Forget that.

Don’t be beautiful.

Be angry, be intelligent, be witty, be klutzy, be interesting, be funny, be adventurous, be crazy, be talented – there are an eternity of other things to be other than beautiful.

And what is beautiful anyway but a set of letters strung together to make a word?

Be your own definition of amazing, always. That is so much more important than anything beautiful, ever.”
