reflection

I love to reflect. It gives my soul time to remember things from my past, to gaze upon a time that is now gone and realize why things happen.  Many of you who have read The Kismet Series have noticed that one thing that stands out in all 3 of my books, is the number 11.  This number has been in my life since I can remember.  Showing up in the good times and in the bad.  I believe that's why when I felt so inspired to write Kismet, I had no problem using the 11 as my guide.  Many of my friends from my hometown have often asked if the series is about me...and as always, it isn't.  But it is about a time in my life that I recall fondly upon, football games, dating, the camaraderie of friendships made and new beginnings. Times I cherish and times I will always hold dear to my heart.   There are many things that each of us can reflect upon in our life, that has helped shape, mold and turn us into who we are today.  People who have entered our life for whatever reason and incidents that have resulted from those meetings.  I believe our heart is made to grow,  it is also made to be toughened, by hurt, pain and love.  I hope that wherever your heart may be in size and strength, you are able to realize that respect comes from being worthy of it and that being used, will bring about a karma to those who hurt you that will only weaken their heart and allow your heart to see the light and grow exponentially for the right reasons.  Reflect on your heart, and don't let anyone ever take you and use you for their own selfish reasons, no matter how much they have fooled everyone else, allowing others to believe they are good and good hearted, you know better, so, please,  let them be the fool and not you, for you have seen them for whom they really are and know that such people have no heart otherwise their intentions towards you would have been made with care and love as was yours instead of the selfish and vain reasons they had....be strong and see the truth that others can't, let them continue to fool the world bc you know the truth and have seen it in their ways,  they will neve gain the satisfaction they are seeking, and no matter what they do in life, or try to do, to make up for their wrongfulness, whether it be charity, or even exercise, they will fall short of the gratification that comes from such activities and acts until they do right by you, the one they scorned and used. Stand tall and strong and let your voice be heard, if needed, so others may not be fooled by their mockery.  Remember, only a mindful, good and sincere heart will know what it feels like to have fulfilment in their deeds, but to know such goodness, one must first have a heart. Be happy and joyful and loving and courageous and let your light shine and never let anyone diminish it and may your guide, whether it be a number or something else, help you in all aspects of your life.....have a blessed day
