Short n' Sweet

Written By: Deanna Marie Battista

Welcome blue ribbons to our very first letter from heaven. In this paradigm of sweetness were going to talk about something that can change but also stay the same, aid in the beauty of this world and all it has to offer or keep us stuck in the mud of procrastination; this letter from the angels above is non other than about time itself. I'm sure you've heard the phrase "You only live once," well I would like to pull on this thread. I have accomplished many things within the last serval years. Even more-so in the last year, and the last couple months. So while distracted by the bustle of the day to day, sickness, school and work. Why does time sometimes act like a friend to some and an enemy to many others. Time is endless. We are not. I think this is a great example of the freewill mankind has been gifted with from our creator. He gave each and every one of us a portion of his will. The tiniest of crumbs and we get to ultimately decide what we are going to do with it. Are we going to use it for good? Use it to stay still and never evolve to the better and more authentic versions of ourselves? Or could we possibly use it for bad? I've done all of the above. I think sometimes in the divine timing of what God calls on us to convey and reflect, the translation isn't apparent. So if you are a dreamer, designer, painter, singer, poet, ballerina, or entrepreneur. Why not bask in the glory of your creativity? Why not utilize your passion and gift from God and use it? Why question the gifts you don't have while neglecting the one beautiful one that you do? Why not create, dance, or bake your way into the man or woman God is calling on you to flourish within and become. Water you're desires by getting up, making lists, creating plans, and going out there and chasing after those amazing foundations that time unfortunately won't wait forever for you to grasp. So you can let go and share with the rest of the world what your made of. So my dear blue ribbons, coming from someone who has faced many distractions, many bouts of sickness and loss. I can tell you right now through prayer, and by God's hand those are the only tools necessary to creating your dream fairytale world and making it a reality. Well there is the other tool of using your time wisely; but I'm sure that was conveyed already :) So everyone let's pull on this thread and go use it to create our own because we don't "Only live once." We only die once, we get to live every single day." So go out there and follow God's voice just like I did. Until the next letter from heaven falls down from the clouds above, let's make history!
