Just ...Shut Up... Already!

What if ... we just shut up?


I mean, what if we just ignored all of the political mess that's thrown in our faces 24/7?  What if, whomever is considered your opposition, never got a response out of you?  Think about it...


A disagreement must have opposing entities.  What if we took away one (ourselves)?  Would it still be a disagreement?  If there's no one to argue with, can there still be an argument?


I've found when you ignore foolishness, it has a tendency to stop performing.  Come on, think about it...  A person who engages in an argument is in it to prove he/she is right.  And in order to prove it, they must refute all of your efforts and/or points.  What if you didn't give them a point to disprove?


What if we just ...shut up?

RHRN's "Month of Sundays" Broadcasts on "Self Love & Relationships"

This is the second and third broadcast in the series. In these broadcasts I invited a couple additional coaches to join me in the discussion.

In this second one, we went into detail about what "Loving Ourselves Unconditionally" means; we defined "loving" and "unconditionally"; we also described what it would look like and how it would feel when you are loving yourself unconditionally.

In this third broadcast, we dug a little deeper on "Finding and Reconnecting with Your Authentic Self" and "Overcoming Your Inner Critic".

Both interesting conversations....listen in!!

Hey Y'all!!

We're full blown into the holiday season now and I wanted to hop on to wish you a very safe, warm and loving Thanksgiving!  Don't hurt yourself eating so much! ..lol..

For this holiday, if you gather with your friends and families, try to enjoy the moment!  Laugh at the silly mistakes a loved one may make or the petty shade that may be thrown.  For this holiday, rise above the messiness!  Don't allow anyone pull the plug on your gratitude...and speaking of gratitude, take a few moments to really think and give THANKS for what you have, no matter how small it may seem to you.  Would you lend a person more money if, when you did, they never said "thank you"?  How do you expect the Universe to bless you with more when you can't even show gratitude for what you already have??

With that said, may your holiday be filled with fun, family, friends and the creation of many fond memories!

Love y'all!  <3

Need to Connect?

This season can be one of the happiest times of the year...it can also be one of the most depressing and loneliest times of the year as well.

If you need someone to talk to, talk with, to just connect with, contact me at RHRN@trenajones.com . Use the subject "Connections" so I'll recognize you from spam emails.

Tis the Season...and All the Other Things That Make Us Sad...

Recently, I experienced a moment where I "felt" a tiny bit of the loneliness some people may experience when it seems you are alone in this big world.  It was just for a few seconds but it was enough.  To feel as if, in the midst of all these people, you are not seen..or felt.  It's actually physically painful. I mean, it's a physical feeling of pain...I felt it right in the middle part of my torso, from my chest bone to my belly button.

This season brings out three types of people...those who get so revitalized, you can sense the optimism in the air and the good feelings continue to flow through the new year.  Others just try to make it through all of the hustle and bustle with a sane mind and not-so-empty pockets.  But for others, this is the loneliest season there is, almost unbearably so.

The last group mentioned are the ones I'm addressing.  I had the experience for a quick moment but I can't begin to say I know how you feel.

It's been on my heart to create a space ...a welcoming and judgement-free space of warmth, understanding and openness.  I'm in the process of figuring out exactly what platform to use for this movement and I know I need to figure it out soon.  Maybe I just need to do something, anything to get it started...and let it evolve on it's own.

With that thought, I'll begin...right here, right now.  *wow...I'm using my own business name, concept (and tattoo!) on myself!  lol...  With that being said, join me!!!  I'm going to start with a Facebook Group...I'll name it ..."Connections", at least for now. Maybe the name will change in the future but I need to start somewhere, right? 

"Connections" will be a space where you can come when you need someone to talk to or someone to just listen.  And like the name says, to connect with others. So, with that, I'm off to create the page.  Come join me when you can...I look forward to seeing you there.  :-)

Gifted...and a PTP Note

For as long as I can remember, I had a little something “extra”.  I never thought much about it because being a child, my mind was of the notion this was the way for everyone.  At around the age of 16, I realized that no, everyone didn’t have it.  I don’t know how or what to label it as….I consider it a gift from God.  I didn’t tell many people about it because I feared most people would consider it strange.  Even today, depending on which word is used to describe it, there are folks who want to label what’s God-made. 

It’s funny to me, now, but as a kid, not so much.  As a grown-ass adult I can see the hypocrisy in the judgement of the description.  If I call it “prophecy” or being an “empath”, it’s all good; but if I call it “psychic”, somehow that very same goodness turns bad.  Funny, huh?  My mama called me her psychic baby and from the name of this blog, you know which one I prefer.  Even if it's just in rebellion of it all.

   

Not the “I know the lottery numbers” kind of thing (or else I would be writing this from my luxury bungalow in Hawaii or the Caribbean!) but more of the “casually strolling along and out pops a thought”, or the “I feel you and your path” kind.  ßBy that I mean exactly what it says, I can somehow sense where you’ve been, where you are and sometimes where you’ll end up.  Not everyone. Not every time. But enough.

I do believe that’s why it was so hard for me to do the usual dating thing…I could feel the BS, control issues, insecurity, etc..from a mile away!  I must admit I gave way to curiosity several times to entertain an interesting story, a strong sense of realness (with several doses of foolishness added in!), or a knock-out sense of humor a few times.  But deep down I knew what was what.

Although the feelings can sometimes be overwhelming, I pray to God to strengthen my gift in accordance with His Will but to please be cognizant in where I am mentally, emotionally, etc.   ..lol…yeah, that last bit is me being a little chicken…He knows me.  

For example, very recently I attended a large gathering and got such a strong sense of someone being “used” and/or taken advantage of, that I almost said something to the intended victim…but I didn’t.  Some things just shouldn’t be said unless it’s asked.  Especially when it deals with “emotions”.  I pray she’ll be aware and smarter if  when it shows itself.

Well, speaking of things that shouldn’t be said, aka “knowing when to shut up”, this is enough sharing for now.  ..lol.. 

But before I go, I do want to post a PTP note:  Last night I dreamed of sabotage...close family/friend sabotage.  Abundance received but envied by a close family/friend-tie; and then the unnecessary, destructive sabotage.  Folks, be smarter in the way you conduct your business and who you show/tell it to!

Alrighty now, y'all have a wonderful, blessed day and be safe out there!  And as always, if ya need me, I'm here.

We'll Be Alright... I Promise

There's much to be said after all of this foolishness that was the elections.  However, it won't be said here.  Why?  Because it's all been said and frankly my dear, I'm tired of saying and hearing it.  Tired of folks making excuses as to why they "did what they did", when in reality, it doesn't matter.  God is at the helm and regardless of what your intentions are/were, He's going to have the first, middle and last say.  I just hope you can bear to hear it.

Now, back to life....  I held my first "Month of Sundays" last Sunday, with "2nd Sunday" coming up in a few days.  It was ok.  I was told it was informative, interesting, etc...but really, it was only ok.  I "fluffed" it.  Meaning, I skimmed the surface and honestly, I may not have done it justice.  Therefore, at the request of another listener, I'm going to go back and go in...in-depth, in detail.

One of the topics discussed was "loving yourself unconditionally".  And because I only went through an overview, I would like to delve into what exactly love is and what does "unconditionally" means when it applies to loving ourselves.

So, in a couple days, I will go at it again...sharing a little more, going a little deeper.  During this go-round, I want group participation.  Join me.  And let me know what you think.  Just go to www.trenajones.com to register (don't forget to confirm through your email!!) and you will be emailed all of the information for calling in.

Hope to "see" you there!
