Release & Pray Part I
After returning to the Air BnB, I settled in for some much needed sleep and set my alarm so I could be the first one to wish her a happy solar return at 3:14am. Then, off to sleep I went. When 3:14am rolled around, I called and, of course, no answer. They were still kickin’ it. When I didn’t hear from her nearly two hours later, I sent a text… (Phone still set to Florida time) Three minutes later, Lil Mama called back and let me know that they were just fine and decided to go out for breakfast. I was soooooo relieved. She proceeded to tell me that she was going to Uber home although it was hella expensive. I gladly offered to go get them. That’s where the story of prayer doubled down and got super real!! To be continued on July 4.

MISCHELLE
Have you ever wondered the meaning behind your name? I did…46 years after I was born. (Never too late, right?) I love my middle name. Plus, the uniqueness of the spelling adds to my deep appreciation for this name. My Dad wanted this name for me in ‘74 and I wanted this name for my daughter on 7/4 of 1995. Can you begin to feel a vibration around the 7 and 4? Kinda trippy, right?
Even though I knew that I loved my name, I never knew what it meant. It wasn’t until 46-years later, Christmas 2020, when I was sitting in the living room at my Dad’s house, in Morristown, TN., when I discovered the spiritual significance of my name. My middle name is taken from the Hebrew name Michael which means “Who is like God?” This new revelation added yet another layer of love to my name. I loooooooove the fact that my middle name leads to a conversation and requires people to dive in and get comfortable with the uncomfortable. If my Dad were to answer that question, he would say, “the Lord!” If my Mama were to answer that question, she would say, “Jesus Christ.” (After all, she did spell my name C-H-R-I-S-T-a-l to reflect this understanding.) When I answer this question, I say, “Nature is like God.” I just asked my daughter that question and she said, “I wouldn’t be able to answer that question because I’m not religious.” Can you see how this leads to getting comfortable with the uncomfortable?

The spiritual part of the spiritual sojourn was magnified exponentially.
While driving from New Mexico to Nevada, I made several stops. I didn’t stop because I was tired; I stopped because I was in complete awe! The natural sandstones, the desert conditions that still yielded green life, the patch of trees that reached for the sky and provided the landscape with heart chakra lovin’, etc. Dayyyyuuummmnnn, nature is amazingly divine. I’m not going to bore you with the list of lessons because when it happened, I INSTANTLY knew what my carrying message was going to be… |
