Hello my Blessed and Chic friends!!! It’s definitely been a while since my last post…a whole month to be exact! I missed you all! I must say, it’s been a busy one for me. I mean busy in the sense of working, traveling, and taking a mental break. What’d you expect? It’s summer time! You know how WE are during the summer breaks. I’ve been trying to do my summer living as some like to say. We love our Summer times! It’s usually the time for relaxation, vacationing, centering yourself, and all that jazz right?
RIGHT! But, the truth is, I haven’t done much vacationing in my heart. See, summer sixteen has been quite an interesting one to say the least. So much has happened this summer, it will leave you asking yourself if you’re in a bad dream of some sort. While, I see myself packing and making moves to head out somewhere, I can’t help but to think about the horrible things I’ve seen flashing on my screens. Honestly, I’ve been doing a whole lot of soul searching on where I am as an individual and questioning things while trying to makes sense of it all. I’ve been focusing on my role in this unstable fickled society and reflecting on where I want to be spiritually.
In doing so, I find myself checking out. I guess you can say I’ve created this temporary space with my temporary bubble. Naturally I recluse because it’s familiar to me. However, I know it isn’t a place that one should stay for too long. In the midst of all that’s happening, I’ve tried to find my peace. Finding my peace meant doing what I love, living life, and being the best Martine I can be for God, society, and my future. Reality is reality, but moreover, peace is peace! I refuse to get caught up in all the hysteria. Instead I choose to live the rest of this summer sixteen and life doing what I know best…which is, living in freedom, waking in peace, and speaking for those without a voice!
