Steps to Awaken Your Inner Force

Your Soul Is Meant to Soar…

Invest in Your Best and Grow to Glow!

If you can’t control,

let it roll –

don’t let it take a toll

on your body, mind and soul.

It’s always good to console

with a friend or friendly soul,

get it off your chest

and take a rest,

let it be a a test to manifest

only your best to progress,

no stress, be blest.

Once we surrender to God’s speed,

our shackles are loosened and freed.

God’s always in control

that’s what’s true –

it’s the good news

that helps us out of the blues.

Invest in your best,

be open to others stressed,

think about how you can help,

yet always be true to yourself.

Invest in your best

and never mind the past,

grow forward and progress –

that’s the way ahead with no regrets.

Invest in your best,

give way to the pressure

that you take on as stressor,

be there for others and your woes

will be lesser.

Don’t ration your compassion

with yourself or others,

realize you matter

in all your own troubles.

Keep your love in check with one another,

let the ego go and not be bothered.

What makes a difference in one’s world

is how you live and how you think.

It always helps to be patient and humble

this helps prevent situations to crumble.

We can never really know

what a person is going through-

it doesn’t hurt to listen with intent

we could learn something new.

It helps to aim to understand,

practice patience and self control,

then you too can grow to glow!

Vessels On a Stormy Sea…

Vessels on a stormy sea,

are tossed around unexpectedly

what can they do

but trust their faith-

hold on to it

to see it through.

Vessels on a stormy sea

is how we feel emotionally

before we find our strength –

the kind that moves mountains

to any size or length.

Faith and hope

are deeply rooted

in our needs to cope.

Wishing you Faith, Hope, Peace and Love,

Evana.

Steps to Awaken Your Inner Force

Listen to the Seagulls cry…

In today’s world and weather –

imagine yourself a feather:

soft and light,

letting things be

just wisp around ever so gently.

β– 

Listen to the ocean

always in motion,

toes in the sand,

our footprints 🦢 disappear

after the next wave takes command.

β– 

Stand tall,

make your voice heard,

no matter what is happening all around –

let your song resound.

β– 

Tread lightly, be tactful

pay attention to the wind –

straighten your sails

and shift with the changes,

just a little rearranging

of you already amazing.

β– 

Steer ahead past your fear

way past what you feel you can,

not a tear will you shed

when you get more ahead.

β– 

Go forward with what moves you

in your core –

keep learning more,

you won’t know if you don’t try

don’t be afraid to find more open doors.

β– 

Seagulls cries’ welcome land,

a place we hope to find –

some things aren’t meant

to understand,

may you find life’s natural flow

and welcome the seagull’s whisper

to your soul.

β– 

Keep shining brightly,

Evana.

Compassion, New Perspective, Steps to Awaken Your Inner Force

🌊 When the Tide is right or wrong – πŸ‘‰Count me in πŸ’–

When the tide is right –

when the tide is wrong

don’t wait too long,

no one is You,

that’s your superpower too –

keep pulling through

waiting won’t improve you.

 

While the tide is wrong

stay strong –

and think of the ocean song.

Don’t wait for your ship

to come in, just swim!

 

No matter what you’re going through:

β€œDamn those torpedo’s, full speed ahead!”

Don’t let your mind tell you otherwise,

don’t leave your unique story unread.

 

Have a bad day –

start now

feel tired, bad or sick,

better be quick –

thoughts and body

push aside:

this is your ride,

this is your time.

 

High above flies the dove,

seek the things that are of love –

scout it out even during drought,

without a doubt you will grow a sprout.

 

At any age, any stage –

begin to engage

you will be freed

of your own cage.

 

Be the change

you want to see,

it can help you feel

more free,

always find a way

to see more positivity!

 

Remember to question:

β€œWill this

(what I dream to do),

contribute

to the greater good?”

then find a way to pursue!

direct your attention and

lessen the β€œcould and should.”

 

“The purpose of life

is a purposeful life,

we only get what we give,

let’s not waste time in strife!”

 

Rid yourselves of thoughts

that weigh heavy on your mind,

that’s the only way

you’ll be free to fly!

 

Be forgiving, let things go,

this is the best way

to grow.

 

The grass is greener

where you water it

so don’t sit

and go for it!

 

Take your horse by the reins,

blood runs through our veins –

stick to your plan,

keep up, show up –

you can!

 

The tide is below,

the dove is above.Β 

the grass is where we land our feet

and the horse gives us strength to compete.

 

 

Count me in…

 

Count me in

take me for a spin,

take me through the rain

on a midnight train.

 

Count me in,

I’m ready to win

in this world of sin

it’s time to light my flame.

 

Burning in me

are my deepest desires,

they’re not just small fires.

 

Gimme a shake

right through my break

how much can one take,

before needing a lake?

 

A lake, some woods,

furry friends –

away from β€œshould’s”

 

Burning in me

are my deepest desires,

they’re not just small fires.

 

Count me in.

 

One ☝️ is to begin,

two create a stronger win,

together we can build bridges

and take out our wounds’ stitches.

 

Go through your closet of pain

see what you find lurking,

what’s keeping you from gain

and what is and isn’t working.

 

All of us carry some past alongΒ 

of where we started and came from,

unpack the baggage with us that stayed,

unravel the problems left in the shade.

rearrange and overcome,

it’s then you’ll see more light of the sun.

 

After some self-learning,

your wheels will begin turning.

A new path will be cleared,

the new you won’t be yearning,

instead, my dear:

you’ll be doing what you’re meant to do

and break through to the brand-new YOU.

 

“Beauty begins

the moment

you decide

to be

yourself.”

Many Blessings,

Evana.

Nature Calls Us, Are We Listening?

Photo by Quang Nguyen Vinh on Pexels.com

Nature has a subtle way

to call on us in its own unique way.

Have you seen that baby deer

that poked its head out of the clear?

Time stands still –

when we allow ourselves to chill.

Photo by Willian Justen de Vasconcellos on Pexels.com

These are gentle reminders

that we can still be wonder finders –

to not lose track and not forget

to take time to relax;

not strain your mind to its max

and take off those blinders.

In this world where there are plenty lost,

let’s be finders of a new world

in which people

learn and grow kinder,

and decrease the “never minders.”

It’s important that you stay true

and whatever words you say are you,

you need to come to realize

it’s good to cut lies and drop the disguise

no need putting on a facade,

hate to tell you there’s no prize.

It’s good to learn to work things through

which takes much time, it’s hard to do –

but nothing good is done is haste

time spent to grow is not times’ waste.

…The other day,

a white squirrel passed my way

as I was almost to work

to begin my day…

There was a white squirrel

at the edge of the street –

by the tree line

where our eyes me(e)t:

“don’t see me as a threat,

stay aware of your mindset,

you won’t be late don’t sweat,

it’s good to get lost for a sec

you won’t regret,

life is not a game of roulette:

going on a jet, getting out of debt,

what is it that you net?, instead

listen to the simple sounds of nature

they will take you away on any day.

This encounter was free, no need to pay!”

As I’m wading through my stacks of “to-do’s,”

I stop to be calm, it’s like heavenly balm:

I realize I enjoy being part of the news –

my passion of poetry, comedy and the “un-blues,”

is certainly my deepest desire it’s true!

Don’t wait for a blue moon

to listen more and become more attune –

forever it won’t stay the month of June:

Go ahead and use these gentle signs

as a way to take you back

to a much quieter time;

a time when clocks still seemed to go slow,

a time when people were valued much more,

a time when folks would go out the door

because they know there is so much more

to explore out of doors.

…Enjoy your open doors!

Love, Peace and Kindness,

Evana.

Hi everyone,

πŸ’–

So many, many things

there are to get done

in life.

I hope you’re enjoying these writings

as much as I am writing them.

Writing is an outlet,

this is definitely true for me.

How about you?

How do you feel about writing?

EvanaLife is all about sharing your gift,

as I share my stories and poems

I aim to uplift and empower

people to seek higher thoughts

and not give up hope

because as long as there’s still air

to breathe,

we can conquer anything.

I am in your corner

on your side

and in your court

looking forward to hearing

from You!

Hope is what holds us up,

but without faith

hope is like a table

without legs.

Love holds us together –

the glue that keeps

hope and faith.

Kindness makes a person

human. It teaches us to be

humble and patient.

Stop, be patient,

listen and

hear.

Photo by Angela Chacu00f3n on Pexels.com

Steep your life in love –

live in faith

and cook in some kindness.

Things can’t always go our way

and if we carry the expectation

that they will,

we will be disappointed –

throughly.

It doesn’t hurt to be kind

unfortunately, it’s easier

to just think of ourselves

and our own selfish minds.

The less you have

the more you enjoy

the little things

that were always there

but overlooked

from daily haste –

a wasted race of chase.

Photo by TMS Sam on Pexels.com

Time is always right

to hug someone tight,

pray at night

and share your light.

Don’t shun the unknown.

Life is full of them.

Keep your chin up –

and smile on.

You might be surprised

to discover magic there

just take that first step –

what’s the worst that

could happen?

Photo by Dana Tentis on Pexels.com

Once you start

you will amazed

that you can’t stop yourself

because after one step

comes the next

and you might think

“no way” but Oh, YES!

Photo by Muhamad Lutfi on Pexels.com

One step…

and you’ve moved more

than where you were before

there will be another door

open for you to explore…

encore, encore…

Two steps…

more ahead

there’s much more to life

than just getting out of bed,

imagine a life

that excites you to your core

and makes your spirit roar!

Three step…

this is real –

the life you wanted and didn’t know

you come alive with zeal,

it’s surreal

unbelievable but makes you kneel,

no longer need to conceal

your passion and how you feel.

Life is beautiful.

Everything worthwhile

takes time and many a mile

and nothing does well in haste.

Haste is a waste

and leaves a bitter taste.

Friends, family and loved ones

need embraced –

love one another

and seek grace.

If you heard the word

of the smallest bird,

then you know –

you deserve.

You deserve loving people

in your life

patient, friendly and kind,

the people who care and uplift

support and listen –

the ones that see your shine.

You deserve

everything your heart

is dreaming of –

for you know his help

comes from above!

Celebrate You as You are!

Be blessed and Keep shining brightly,

Evana.

Own the Door that’s Yours…

Own the door that’s yours,

no more standing at shores,

just keep the good stuff brewing,

continue your flow of renewing

again each time with pursuing –

and always keep in mind your goal.

In time you’ll be lead to the right door.

Open the door,

there’s more to life.

Open the door,

don’t think twice –

a short time lives a life.

You’ll know by the light you feel

that’s it is for you and real –

you deserve it

you are a big deal:

now take your light and

keep it bright!

Find within what tribe you reside,

some quality people to be by your side,

and look for people who don’t hide

but feel pride to be of a good kind:

those who step up ⬆️

not talk down,

those that help others

chase away the frown.

It’s okay to open the door,

you are meant for so much more!

πŸ™Œ Be blessed,

Evana.

Steps to Awaken Your Inner Force

πŸ™Œ Light of Life, Light up the World πŸŒŽ

Light of life

light of the world,

is stronger than the dark,

is alive even with a spark.

The spark is always there,

some chose to dim it

but when you reach it

there’s no limit –

it goes and goes

and goes and grows.

We tend to keep it to ourselves

but deep within we know.

Tune in, be up, step up –

there’s no space for lows,

too much to do –

too many rows

of beautiful life

we can sow!

It’s true what they say

that we’re more afraid

of shining and progressing

then we are of stressing

and addressing what’s depressing.

What a miracle we live in,

all of life’s a blessing.

With love,

Evana.

Steps to Awaken Your Inner Force

Which Shoes Shall I Choose?

Which Shoes Shall I choose?

Which plan do I follow?

Should I just pick a pair,

do I dare?

 

They say if you walk a mile in another’s,

you learn to care.

 

Opening up to other’s views

can be like stars that spike –

radiating from bright light.

It can help loose ties bind

and restlessness of minds –

by stepping into shoes of those ill-defined.

 

They say if you walk a mile…

 

Three sides to every story,

the truth from each is somewhat skewed.

It is a human trait, but time to clean the slate

and change our world anew.

no matter what’s on your plate,

peace of mind awaits.

 

We’re all the same right from the start

and it’s never too late to take our weight

and let the pressure deflate

love is in our fate,

peace of mind awaits.

Can you relate

to wanting to please others

trying to create

the mold they’re desiring

not welcomed to debate?

 

Instead of filling someone else’s shoes;

walk in your own, it’s not rude

no need to complicate, no need to change

your mood to rude in a high magnitude

 

They say if you walk a mile…

 

Instead of die while trying

eventually we’re left realizing

it’s up to us finding

what makes us us and

there’s no need for hiding.

 

If not looked within

to find ourselves redesigning,

we may stay stuck in other’s shadows

never quite shining.

 

Enjoy what you do,

do what you enjoy!

Go ahead and let it annoy

those who have no reason to employ

their conflicted minds of your perceived joy.

 

Blaze your own trail

path of fire –
find your dearest desire

and take your journey higher.

 

Blaze your own trail,

clear your own path,

no need to be a wiz at math,

don’t question, stop stressin’

the world needs your expression.

Anytime you come and go,

enter and leave –

make it count and

make it heard,

leave an impression,

share your good word

soon you’ll have this world stirred.

 

Make it an obsession

through confession

and always keep addressing

that what’s stressing.

It’s not important what’s in your possession,

but it is to freshen your lesson

in perception.

Set a goal, one at a time –

keep a meaningful purpose in mind,

find some friends you can trust,

don’t let your passions turn to rust.

 

Let it out, make a plan

you surely know you can

it’s time to strategize and realize –

keep your eyes on the prize.

Keep shining bright with all your might,

Evana.
