THERAPY SESSION S1E4 : HOW'S YOUR GARDEN ?

While on vacation, all I could feel was disappointment that my garden didn't sprout. One day, I decided to go to my backyard and clean it up a little bit. I had received bad news and I just wanted to do something to help me process those emotions. When I went to my garden, I saw that my tomatoes sprouted. I was so happy. I wasn't expecting that. I then began cleaning my garden and realized that there were more than 2 tomatoes that sprouted. That moment of happiness turned into guilt once I realized, I didn't get to take care of it the proper way. I needed to remove all leafy suckers beneath the first fruit so they won't stop the development of the fruit. Had I just been more patient...

This brings me to the question: "How's my garden?" 

You know, there is a lesson in everything. Watching as my tomatoes sprouted when I could of sworn there was nothing else left in the ground, reminded me of how my spiritual journey is going and just how much I am fighting to stay hopeful for the future and to continue believing in the promises that God has bestowed upon my life. 

That moment for me was so symbolic because even if I didn't harvest the biggest and juiciest tomato, the seed that I planted was strong enough to withstand the storm. That moment to me represented the manifestation of the little seeds I planted within my journey of staying disciplined and sacrificing a temporary decision for a bigger reward. That moment to me proved that there is nothing too big for me to reach. It showed me that the dreams and visions I have, can be tangible if I just keep pushing and believe in who I am. That moment to me, represented the intimacy of my relationship with God. 

This post took longer to be released than I anticipated but I needed to explain with clarity the image in my head about how God has presented himself in my life multiple times without me realizing and Him showing up in the most unexpected way by sending me to do the tasks I forgot about because I was either being impatient or overly ambitious and being disappointed when my wish, dream or idea doesn't turn out the way I expected it to.

Dear God, 

Thank you for clarity. I go through so many moments daily and fail to recognize your goodness and miracles in my life, but I thank you for taking the time to slow me down and manifesting yourself in a way only I can confirm that you're working things out for my good. I pray that those who do not know you, experience you in your fullness even if it's in the little things.

Amen.

GLOTALKS SHOW - S1E3 - LOVE IS MUSIC W/ JEFF SANON

Image
 " Where do you draw your inspiration from? " - Gloria M. On this week's episode of the Glotalks Show , I had the pleasure of sitting down with the multifaceted artist, Jeff Sanon . I wanted to delve into his creative journey and get some insights on it. I explored the many roles he embodies in his artistic endeavors and I believe I got answers to questions we've all been curious about. Before I met Jeff, I heard many good things about him. I may be biased but his music really stood out to me. And when I had the opportunity to meet him in person and watch him in his element, I was more impressed because the little time I spent around, made me respect the many hats he wears. He is a singer, songwriter, rapper, producer and executive producer. But above all, he is a student first. His understanding of music is what blew my mind.  I got to watch him turn my words into a beautiful song. I wanted to give him his flowers while simultaneously picking his brain. I really want...

GLOTALKS SHOW - S1E4 - EXECUTIVE DECISIONS W/ GLORIA MWANGE

Image
 " You're in it now! You can't quit!!" - Claudia Etwyse I remember briefly writing about executive decisions about two years ago. It has been something that's been placed on my heart ever since. When I wrote about it, it was a moment of clarity that happened while I was in Congo.  This time, when it was time for a solo episode, I tapped into that and the experience launching the  Glotalks Show  gave me. I used to be someone who needed a second or third opinion before making a decision. I never truly trusted my own instincts and even the decisions I made. But this time, I had to force myself out of the comfort zone and believe that the choices I made, were great and even if they weren't, at least, I get to reflect on them myself rather than blame others.  In this episode, I addressed my desires of answering the famous question " WHY". To know the why, is to understand the trajectory of your life. I also spoke about the story with my videographer, it h...

GLOTALKS SHOW - S1E5 - I WAS BORN WITH IT W/ JESSIE SIMMONS

Image
 " People are full of wisdom. " - Jessie Simmons This week's episode was very special to me. I sat down with Jessie Simmons , a multi-faceted artist from Ottawa, to discuss her journey through the music business. From overcoming industry challenges to the creation of her debut album " AMONI ," Jessie shares her experiences, insights, and the inspiration behind her music. When I was writing down the names of the first 10 guests for the  Glotalks Show , Jessie was the first one on my list. I've always been fascinated by her story and seeing as she continues to break barriers, the story becomes more and more interesting. When we met, she made it a point to scope me out of the crowd and introduce me to her entourage. As years went by, we got closer but, even then, her passion for music always shined through. So when I got the opportunity to sit down with her and talk about her life and journey in the music industry, I couldn't resist going back to the beginn...
