"I Am"
"Ahum de LeeLa:" To be in God's light. From this, I was named. A simple four letter word, attached to my soul to ripple energy out into the universe. "Ahum de Leela," "Ahum de Leela," "Ahum de Leela." Repeated three times for the mind, the body, and the soul. Repeated throughout my life to remind me that I AM in God's light. (I have a confession to make, as a child, I hated my name, I insisted being called something different. I think that I was not ready to take on the energy that is attached to it.) It took me until college to grow into it and now embrace its meaning and powers.

A Message for the Younger Generation
I’m a bicentennial baby. Yes, I was born in 1976. My parents are Army vets. Yes, I said Army vets. I grew up in a caring household. My parents weren’t overly strict, but they also didn’t let me do whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. They set boundaries to ensure that we were safe. They taught me morals and values. I had a healthy balance of dependence and independence. I knew that if I wanted any success in life that I would have to work at myself. Nothing was handed to me. My parents taught me how to be responsible for myself and for my actions. If I did something wrong, I had to own up to it. There was no “all inclusion” for things. If we wanted to be a part of something we had to try out for it, or meet certain criteria for it. When I go to work, I know that I have to perform my best if I want to be a good employee. I’ve noticed that things aren’t like that with the younger generation. I’ve noticed myself clashing a lot with the younger adults of today.

There Is Strength in Weakness
Imagine an ice sculpture of a swan. Each curve, each detailed carving in the wings, the beak, the arch of the neck, every aspect formed to realistic perfection. But behind the awe of it, there is fragility in beauty and this seemingly flawless masterpiece isn’t without defect. Its weakness is the very thing that makes it beautiful, the fact that it’s made of something so easily broken.

Finding Your Bliss in Chaos
I briefly caught up with some creative friends this week, which is crazy rare for me these days because I hardly leave the house. Why would I want to? I have a lovely modern apartment with a north facing view from a quaint balcony that gets drenched in sunlight all day long. For me, this is bliss.

How to Make Money Doing What You Love
Today, I wanted to talk about the idea of doing what you love while getting paid for it, because from my own experience, it seems that so many people are just worried about making a living, which really isn't all that hard to do, but we over complicate things greatly, and then we can't seem to step outside of our comfort zone to go towards a life of greatness, because playing it safe is comfortable, but far less fulfilling.

Value Versus Price
The value of any product or service is indubitable in the eyes of the beholder, but I believe that the way we measure value is often clouded by what we want rather than what it's actually worth. One of the most frustrating things when working in the medical field is watching patients turn down health-specific products or services because of a price tag. That is not to say that medical services are not overpriced, but in relation to all the other extraneous expenses we spend our dollars on, one must admit that the priorities are habitually out of order. We are eager to fork out hundreds of dollars for a designer bag without hesitation. Shoes, accessories, and items that boost our social status are consumed at outrages prices at no question, but as soon as it comes to anything in regards to what we actually need, the wallet is on shutdown and we need answers. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average American spends more than $1700 annually on clothing alone. I doubt that this includes all the designer shoppers, because last I checked, an MK backpack costs about half of that by itself. While I believe that everyone should live the way that makes them happy, I also know that having the wrong perception in regards to what we need and what we want can eventually lead us into some big trouble.

Confidence when Confidence Gets Low
Whenever my confidence is low, I just think of the times that seemed impossible, the times when I felt like I could not achieve. One term while attending college, I made the winter term dean's list all while working and consistently being involved in extracurriculars. That was a very proud moment for me. Not only because I had upped my GPA and attained A’s and B’s, but because that was a VERY stressful season for me. I was working a lot of hours and faithfully attending a Writer’s guild, plus I was also helping out my family at the time. When I was stressed out, what did I do? I prayed, remembered to rest and think positive, and reminded myself of the reason for it all: my passion. My passion is to write. My passion is to uplift, encourage, and motivate other people to be their ultimate best!
