Not going somewhere to happen, not chasing the next …
For purpose, on purpose, in the now to invest
Not bound by tomorrow, nor haunted by past
But rooted in moments that matter and last
Each breath is a choice, stepping into your own
The journey unfolds, though the path stays unknown
No waiting for destiny to knock at your door
Live in the fullness of now, nothing more
The future will come, but today is your stage
To live without worry, unchained by the age
For purpose, on purpose, each second a gift
Stand in the present, poised for the shift
So here in this moment, rise and shine
Live with purpose, embrace the Divine
Tomorrow’s not promised, there’s no guarantee
This moment is all to be all you must be

Now sistah, this right here – “For purpose, on purpose, each second a gift
Stand in the present, poised for the shift”…speaks volumes for remaining in the present to respond when the shift occurs!
Awesome sauce Queen Dee! 👸🏽 Much love my friend. 🥰💖😘

I read this once: “Now is a gift, that’s why it’s called the present” and it stuck with me. I’m also learning that even while I’m in the present I have to be intentional in looking for life’s shift and being prepared to shift with it. That poetic reflection coming up soon.
Queen Kym, thanks for stopping, taking a comment-moment to bring the “sauce” and being a sistah friend!! 🙇♀️💕💗💕🙇♀️💕💗💕🙇♀️

Hey Mary. Absolutely—tomorrow is not promised and takes care of its own worries; the past is gone never to be back so why waste NOW in either spaces?! Thanks for stopping by and sharing your thoughts 💕💗💕
