Welcome to the Beautiful World of Au’Pearce

  • Happy Monday

    Just because today is Monday (almost Tuesday for some) does not mean that you have to stress over the day or the rest of the week.

    Most of us feel that weekends should be longer than weekdays, but for over the past few months, actually a year, we have not seen any weekends, as all days started to run into one another. Most of us have asked ourselves on frequent occasions, what’s today? Not only that, what is today’s date.

    The weekdays don’t have to be stressful. Your day is what you make it. Some think that you can do to brighten up your day, reduce stress

    1. Look at yourself in the mirror and smile, maybe even laugh out loud. Smiling at yourself means looking at yourself and knowing that you are beautiful. Knowing that there is no one or nothing that could steal your joy or thunder. Smiling at yourself means that you have control over your being and you know which direction in life you are headed.
    2. Kiss and hug yourself every once in a while and stop depending on others to show you affection. Blow yourself a kiss while you look at yourself in the mirror. Grab ahold of your being and squeeze, squeeze tight. Know and constantly remind yourself that you love yourself first. By doing this you will know that you have what it take for others to love you as well. Showing yourself affection mean catering to you needs, engaging in self-care and not giving all of your time to others. Give yourself time, even if it means standing in front of the mirror and hugging yourself. Or walking past a mirror in private or public, and blowing yourself a kiss.
    3. Continue to challenge yourself. Just because it’s another day and another week does not mean challenging yourself have to come to a halt. Challenging yourself mean you continue to put in time and effort to come into a new and better you. Challenging yourself mean you know you have what it takes to succeed, be prosperous, and manufacture skills that will open a plethora of door that will lead to bigger and better things in life.
    4. Managing your time, meaning managing your stress. On frequent occasions, people allow tasks to pill up to a point where they cannot control them or they become extremely overwhelmed. The bite off a bit more than they can chew. They wish that there was more hours in day, but as we all know, we only get 24 hours and we have to sleep for at least 6-8 of those hours. Most task oriented stress are associated with procrastination, not ordering your task in chronological order, or in the order of importance. Managing time is more about doing what could be done first, while later considering tasks that mandates excessive or inaccessible resources thereafter. Tackling these tasks one at a time is considered managing time wisely.
    5. Take Monday as just another day of the week and not he start of the week. Monday’s are just the day after Sunday and the day before Tuesday. Monday’s are just another day of the week. Would feel any different about Monday if it took the place of Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday? If Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, were the day after Sunday, would you be discouraged when those days came around? Inquiring minds wanna know.

    Don’t let the tasks of Monday send you on a frenzy, but instead push some of the daunting task off into other days of the week. Don’t let task from previous weeks pile up into the next week. It will only result in your scrambling to get things done or to meet deadlines or even missing deadlines.

    I want to take the time to wish everyone a productive and prosperous week. Remember, Monday’s are going to come around every seven days, weekly, and they are not going to stop just because you are uncomfortable with its come-about or that it continues to shine in the light of day and night weekly, regardless of your feelings or attitude toward it. Monday is just another day. Use it to your advantage.

  • Welcome President Biden and Vice President Harris

    Sighs of relief…

    Sighs that the world has become more divided than ever even with a diverse Democratic Party who now occupies our senate and White House.

    Sighs our divergence and convergence.

    Opportunities may be stricter especially with oppositions being hiring managers and decision makers.

    Oppositions are ramping up while individuals continue to believe in misinformation and misdirection.

    Yesterday, the U.S. reigned champion, and now having the opportunity to steer America in the right direction, a new direction.

    Though there is a new POTUS and VPOTUS, the battle continues, as this is not then end and only the beginning.

    There are still so many fights to be fought and battles to be won.

    Inaugurated

    Vice President of the United States (VPOTUS) Kamala Harris

    Yesterday, The United States of American welcome a new Vice President, Kamala Harris, the first woman and African American to take offices at this position. This should make every woman and some man give a standing ovation as this could have been your mother, sister, daughter, niece, or wife.

    This show women around the world that anything is possible, even the impossible.

    This is to show women, and men, around the world that time, dedication, sincerity, and a will to thrive and take any person to novel heights. You don’t have to be a millionaire or billionaire to be the POTUS. You only need to be determined to get there and put in the necessary work, as nothing is given and nothing is free, not even the air you breathe.

    Yesterday, marked a new day for new beginnings.

    Yesterday, marked a new day to challenge yourself and to go harder.

    Yesterday marked a new day to become a new you.

    Start now, time waits for now one and stop looking to get permission from others. Do you.

    President of the United States (POTUS) Joe Biden

    The United States also accepted a new President of the United States (POTUS) Joe Biden and his supporters couldn’t be more proud.

    Again, yesterday, marked a new day.

    Yesterday marked a new way in which the COVID would be tackled and handled.

    Yesterday, life started to show a bit of promise, even though nothing has been done yet.

    Yesterday, with accepting a new POTUS, most people breathed a sigh of release and shouted silently, while others to the top of the mountains, ” I can breathe.” But, its this necessary true. We continue to wear mask and racial injustice still exist. For some reason most people have a stigma that black people are the bad guys, which I don’t find to be absolute true. There are bad people worldwide, of all different colors, races, backgrounds, creeds, and breeds, but most of these stigma is solely directed toward black, and mostly for no reason. They are the first to picked out when it come to crime and they are the last to be provided opportunity even when the fit the criterion. But that is another story in itself.

    We should take the time to embrace new change, as some time change is good, and this change is definitely good.

    I wish you all the very best.

    I wish The POTUS and VPOTUS the very best in getting things done and cleaning up the mess that has been spread across America these past few years. Let use all join in Making American THE BEST again.

  • Its only going to get better.

    Who run the world?

    GIRLS.

    Who run the world?

    GIRLS.

    Who run the world?

    GIRLS.

    History and an evolution never looked so sweet. The world is emerging and changing with all of us in it. Just a few more hours and history will be made yet again.

    Change is definitely good.

  • So Unsure of Self? Start with the WoMan in the Mirror

    Have you ever stood back and stared at yourself in the mirror only to find that you were not starring back at your authentic self but only a shell of your being? You ask yourself the same questions over and over again. 

    Source: Google Images

    Is this who I really am? 

    Why do I feel so naked when I am fully clothed?

    Why is it that I stare into darkness when I make eye contact with the person staring back at me?

    Why is it that when I know I am looking at something, it feels like nothing?

    How has this juxtaposition of self become unknown and uncharted territory?

    Why do I feel fear for the person that stares me in my eyes?

    Why do I feel a sense of embarrassment for the person that stares me back in my eyes?

    Why do I feel a sense of resentment for the person that stares back at me?

    Is this really the manifestation of God? 

    Am I really a direct manifestation of God or a compound of sorts?

    When I reach out and try to make contact, I get nothing. Not a shock, static, disentanglement, dissipated clouds of smoke, not even a slap on the risk. What has this person on the other side of this mirror become? For the longest time, I cannot fathom this other being. What I have seen for so many years is a stranger. I am not sure if it is my authentic self or my ought to be self. How do I make the decision of which person she is? How do I make the judgment of which side to choose? What if I choose the wrong side? Will this result in punishment? Will this result in further self-resentment? Will this deter me? Will my ultimate decision send me back ten spaces when I thought I was two ahead? Will my life and personal choice be a determinant of life or death?

    Is this a person chosen by God standing before me, telling me that I really need to step back and evaluate the entire scope of my life and that whatever decisions I make will be simple self-reflective but will not be a determinant of the blessings he will bestow upon me? 

    Why is it that when I stare back at the person before me, I feel HURT?

    Why is it that when I stare back at the person before me, I feel personal disdain?

    Why is it that when I stare back at the person before me, I feel personal suffering?

    Why is it that I feel feeble and disoriented when I stare back at the person before me?

    Why is it that when I stare back at the person before me, I feel ANTI-ME, a sense of self-dissociation, and unworthy aesthetically? 

    I feel chastised, minuscule, apprehensive, and timid?

    Why is it that when I stare back at the person before me, I feel as though I am the only person in this world without physical materials and resources, a flesh?

    What do I do with the person that stares back at me? 

    How do I tap into the internal aspect of this being?

     For so long, I have tried to figure out how to reach and interact with the other person that stands before me. I mean, I see her often, but she has become unreceptive to my gestures or invites. She has seemingly turned her back on me and does not want to be bothered. I figured I figured that it is not her who has lost herself; it is the physical being that is standing before the mirror image that has traded in her authenticity for something that is not worthy of her time or effort. 

    She has become a traitor. Hence, she’s become two-faced.

    What I can say is that it was not intentional. 

    All that I have sacrificed and acquired in the past few years felt as though it was done for the betterment of myself; however, as it turns out, the circumstances would do a completely 180 degree within a blink of an eye.

    I get it. I took my eye off the prize, ME. 

    I get it. I was thrown off course by being caught up in the manipulations of others. And I thought I was the psychologist. 

    It turns out I was being psychoanalyzed.

    I walked away from the mirror for a little while. I even took some down and covered up the overs. My mirrored reflection is not my true self, or is that reverse. Maybe, it is I who refuse to face the truth but instead hide from it. 

    Maybe it is me who continues to walk and perpetuate through life as a fabric and distortion of myself.

    It is the relegated physicality of me who continues to stride through life, trying to impress and live up to others’ expectations. But why? What am I trying to prove? 

    The only person who needs to be convinced is the person waiting for me in the mirror reflection. 

    The person that terrifies me. 

                The person that trusts and accepts me.

    The person that discerns and understands me. 

    The person that I intentionally hide from and suppress. 

    The only person where I can go amiss but is reinserted into her life without question or equivocation. I face no purgatory, not even a squeamish look.

    After a thorough reevaluation of ought and desired self and taking the time to self-reflect, I came to a realization that most of those persons that I tried to impress were not friends, as most were foes. 

    They sat back and pontificated and anticipated, hoping and wishing I’d fail, crash, and burn. 

    Little did they know I am permanently shielded from all hate, shade, and preordained stoppage and malfunction.

    I am shield from destitution and outsider’s adverse insightfulness or wrong-sightedness. 

    I remain shielded and revered by the blood, the father, and the holy spirit. 

    From dealing with others and surrounding myself with wrongdoers, naysayers, and I can’t attituders, released the positivity and confidence within me. 

    It released the inhibitions within me.

    It released the go-getter within me.

    It released the beast within me.

    I realized that some people in your life limit themselves and settle. They have no aspiration to move beyond their reach and goals. 

    I realized that I needed to surround myself with those who live within their means but have the mental capacity and desirability to stretch themselves beyond their reach, be prosperous, and not look to others for handouts or easy way outs.

    I have and continue to learn that if I want to be prosperous, financially, and socially enriched, and entrenched, then something needs to change intrinsically and extrinsically, and the change has to start with me.

    All-in-All, I learned not to fear myself. I learned to stare back at the person that stands before me with dignity, pride, and concentration.

    I learned to be manifested, self-authenticated, self-elevating, and self-elaborating. 

    I am baroque – done, but not overdone, yet, well-done. 

    I am finely etched and tuned. 

    My creator has perfectly created me. 

    Today, I rehang my mirrors.

    Today, I uncover my mirrors.

    Today and from now and on, when I look in the mirror, I smile. 

    I give myself a high-five and tell myself “you got this.”

    I tell myself, “I love you.” 

    I tell myself not to change for anyone, as you are who you are because of who you are, and if no one likes it, then they are not for you, or they have not yet become their genuine and authentic being, to stand for you nor against you.
