LABYRINTH

Frederica R. Burrage

Life can be a Crazy Maze…
With twists, turns and dead ends.
Explore all options and take flight in the desired direction. Don’t let obstacles delay you from reaching your place of peace. Stay the course towards the right path. Confusion and frustration may occur. PIVOT! Your exit is near. Remember the wrong roads (blocks) so that you don’t keep moving further from your intended destination.
Focus on the end goal and stay motivated. Navigating life requires self-determination.
Keep emotions in check during complexities or setbacks. Do not allow walls or fake passageways,  to hinder your journey. Do not be afraid of the darkness. Let your faith light the way. Rely on your deity for guidance and courage. It’s okay to talk yourself through difficulties. Drown out any outside noise. Life is about choices. Choose your priorities and remain fluid. It is okay to slow down to reflect. Just don’t ever stop your pursuits. When you reach that open thoroughfare, RUN!

About Me, The Poet

Frederica R. Burrage

I am a human. I am a black girl, who loves God. I’m able to walk on two feet and speak about my ideals and ideas. I’m blessed to be alive.

I am constantly learning and thinking of new insightful “food for thought” to share.

I love nature and all beautiful things (and some not so pretty things too). I believe that life is a matter of interpretation and I’m grateful to be able to see, hear and experience it all.

My interests in books vary but naturally, since I am a poetic kind of girl, I gravitate towards poetry and philosophy. I do enjoy a good mystery drama. As a newfound hobby, I have been buying lots of gardening books lately. They are mesmerizing as well as informative. I am a reader of anything that sparks my imagination to stay motivated in my pursuit of knowledge and happiness.

I am a writer of quirky and spiritual things. I am proud to be a newly published author. I write because it frees my mind of so many words that are fighting to be released. I am at peace with what I write about. My book is a collection of my sense of the world and its unique possessions. I am passionate about my book’s contents.

I know that everyone has a story to tell and I enjoy sharing and swapping tales. My notebook is a necessity to me and a special friend that holds precious meaning. If we were to be departed ( my notebook and me) I’d be torn to pieces.

Fill Your Jar With Joy

Frederica R. Burrage

Do you see the “Looking Glass of Life”, as half-full or mostly empty? Thinking with an open mind, we can transform our outlook on just about anything. Naturally, there will be setbacks in one’s lifetime. However, learning to adapt to stressful situations, we can prepare ourselves to heal in a healthy way and within a reasonable time frame.

Life is what you make it. If you fill your “Jar” with good things, then your focus will be positive. Everybody has a way of viewing reality- that is unique to them. If we all saw obstacles as too difficult to conquer, no one would be successful. Once you remove the negative influences in your Jar, you have to replace them with an abundance of positive energy. If everyone believed in overcoming challenges, opportunities would continue to be competitive and worth stressing over. You only have a fighting chance if you are able to hold your own in the war. The battle will be won by the fearless and most powerful. Use your inner voice as a strength. What you think… what you tell yourself… BELIEVE IT!

Being stuck in a rut or wavering on a sticky surface, is unhealthy. If time allows, you should be ready to make tough decisions when faced with hard choices. If your Jar is full of cheer and optimism, then you have options. Use your resources wisely. Don’t deplete your energy too soon or gamble on frivolous items. Once you tap into your stash, replenish it when you can. Never run empty because life rewards those who help themselves.

Maintain a calm attitude and be steadfast on your journey towards the fulfillment of your goals. Trust your intuition and practice good, mindful habits.

ALWAYS LOOK AT THE GLASS AS HALF-FULL… FULL OF POSITIVITY AND MEANINGFUL POSSIBILITIES. THEN, FOLLOW YOUR INSTINCTS.
