"I Believe In You My Soul"


Family, church, school, multiple jobs, hobbies, extra curriculars, friends, Instagram, Facebook... Most days I don't even know where to begin! Some times I wake up with a plan and then life happens. Time-blocked tasks become side-tracked or pushed down the list and improvisation becomes the order of the day.  I find that those are the days I go to bed the most exhausted and with little to no sense of accomplishment.  Yet, other days I look at my list of goals,  chat with my closest friends, brainstorm with my love and I sit with my journal and realize that I must make time for this!  I must "stop and smell the roses", because "life's too short", because "I have a voice" and so much to say... And thus, this blog has come to be.
 
Most people would look at that list of things happening day-to-day and wonder "where does that leave me?"  I've come to realize that I am in all of it, all of it is ME, and that's ok.  It is all here, in one place.  The writer in me meets the photographer,  meets the mother, meets the wife, meets the sister, meets the friend, meets the servant, meets the creator.  It fills me to know if I can spend so much time developing the light within me, I can make time to share that light with you.  I lead a busy yet fulfilling life and I strive to nourish, serve and inspire.  I have a new goal to do either of those things in the midst of all the chaos, because life's far more than just charts and to-do lists.

My all-time favorite poem by Walt Whitman says "I celebrate myself and sing myself...I believe in you my soul" (Song Of Myself - 1892).  With a new-found sense of wander and purpose, I sing a new tune, and I hope to make it a good one.

    Love it! Looking forward to being a part of and witnessing your song- every part- as it raises high or lowers, that's the beauty of it as this makes the very tune that makes the song!

HOPE or Why I became a Life Coach.

CONTEXT - In our church we don't have a preacher; instead, the congregation is invited to share their testimony of specific topics. This is my take on Hope, in Christ.   Hello everyone. This is my first talk ever. I truly feel overcome with gratitude. I hope that if you walk away with anything, let it be the motivation to do whatever it takes to grow closer to Christ, and to seek out the Spirit.  First, I would like to introduce myself because, even though most of you met me 6 years ago, there's so many new faces that join us; and as it turns out, we haven't been properly introduced. My name is Graciela Moore. I am a Personal Life Coach, focusing on mindfulness, self-love, self-worth, confidence, productivity and faith. These are all the things I focus on in my practice because they're all the things that I, in my imperfections, struggle with at any given time of day.  These are also the things that fuel me and fill my cup. My work, is all in the hopes that you can mast...

Chronicles of Motherhood - Part 2

Happy mom, happy baby! No? April 26, 2019. "It's 7am on MY BIRTHDAY woo hoo!  My contractions are 5-3 minutes apart, but I am not dilated enough. Still at 2 cm. Michael and I have been in the maternity ward of Celebration Hospital since 11pm last night. He's asleep on the recliner. My mother arrived 1 hr ago. She's asleep on the couch. I thought this would be over by now. I'm always waiting the longest for everything!" - excerpt from Notes app on the phone. I always seem to wait the longest for things that other people get around to doing much earlier than me in their life. If you struggle with anxiety you know how it is, overthinking everything, over-worrying and keeping busy thinking and analyzing things instead of actually doing. I guess it's one way to explain why I'm 34 and having my first child. I mean, there's so many reasons... But we're not here to talk about that. We're here to talk about Elijah Michael; a handsome 9 lbs baby boy...
