I started writing this post in Week 16, hence 16-17HJ. This is a long post…but it's also A BIG LEAP!

In the MKE Alliance, I'm encouraged to make note of my accomplishments, things I've done/created/been a part of/experienced that I'm proud of, that made me happy, that I'm grateful for; small or large; things that may have been headliners; or that only I would know about.

But every time I go to write on my index cards, I draw a total blank! I get an empty type of feeling wherein I find myself staring at the blank cards.

I marvel at the sequences of events in my life. And when I stop to reflect on them, absorb them, really soak them in, I smile at the fleeting thought of why I would even get 'hung up' sometimes. I never have to look far to get the answers I seek -- they come in the blink of my eye, or the whispers between my thoughts, or in subtle shifts of energy, especially when I sit in silence.

Have you ever had really, really, really good tasting food, delicious food, the most amazing food experience of your life? It's the kind where your hands get all messy since a fork or spoon just won't do; and you're feeling so stuffed, yet you can't stop eating it! The Master Key Experience is like that for  me!  ​

What does it take to become a hero, let alone a superhero? And who defines what each of that is?
​
Superman and Wonder Woman (though I didn't like her last movie) are always going to be on my list. But there is one superhero that most people (my age) probably forgot about; he's certainly not featured or even a guest star in the Justice League -- The Greatest American Hero. He was just an average school teacher who wanted to do good for his labeled out-of-control students. But he believed in them!

I have to admit it! The completion of week 9 lessons have been lost in the shuffle. For most of this week I've missed doing my reads and assignments. Team MKMMA did remind us of what can happen during holiday times. And I remember from GS Scroll 1, I made a solemn oath that "nothing retards my new life's growth". Now my mind wants to drift into feeling badly about it, but I'm not allowing it. Though I'm not directly letting myself off the hook, I'm consciously putting more effort into watching my thoughts, feelings and actions, seeing what new neuro-connections are being made and what old connections are coming up for change.

​Except on product packaging, I do my best to not use labels. But sometimes in communication, I do find it easier. And right now I feel like going easy on myself.

I love being Jamaican, and I love being A Rastafarian Empress. I've long been a self-directed thinker, to the greatest extent possible, while living within the 'grid' and consciously choosing to remain respectful. This attributed to a foundation based on love from my ancestors who taught me the sacredness of all life, while instilling in me an immense amount of pride, and a mother who allowed me to be free-spirited. As a Rastafarian Empress, the reverence applied within my exchanges with others is uncompromisable.

​Sometimes though, I think I 'invite' experiences across my path just to test my very foundation.

Do you know that old saying "the fear is that you're powerful beyond measure," or something like that? If on some level I had believed it before, well, right about now, scratch that!

I Embrace my personal power! I now strongly believe that the power that creates worlds flows within me and through me! As I move through the Master Key Experience, I'm remembering just how to harness that power.

When I attempt to summarize my feelings, these are some thoughts that tickle my mind:

The truth this week is "yes, I do believe it is!" Have I gotten it perfect? "It's perfect for where I am, yes!"

Week 6 of the Master Key Experience course comes to an end. Let me just say this here, "this course is No Joke!" My mind gives up wanting to compare it to others (thank you mind). I've always believed that each moment builds onto the next. 

To Mark, Fabulous Davene, MKE Guides, and those who make this course possible, "A BIG THANK YOU!" You have helped to stimulate my imagination in ways I had long forgotten.

It's just the beginning of the season and Ma' Nature is showing up and showing off! Who can do it better?

I so appreciate living in a region that celebrates itself with the seasons. It's Autumn here and I am constantly wowed by Nature's color palette. Today, as we drove down the road, taking pics of these masterpieces, I joked with my friends, saying, "all year the trees are there, and no one really seems to notice them, until they begin to change.

On my way home from Salt Lake City, I decided to watch a movie during flight. At the beginning of that movie was a quote "A [wo]man's reach should exceed [her] grasp, or else what's heaven for?" I still haven't watched the entire movie, but the quote stuck!
