Get excited! Episode 3 of The Chrysalis Experience airs tomorrow!
🎙
You know...this podcast is all about #transformation and #growth. It consists of conversations designed to help you understand and operate in the greatness of your #voice.
🦋
That's right Ladies, your voice is POWERFUL!
But with that #power comes great #responsibility.
🎙
And I cannot think of anyone better to speak with us about that responsibility than renowned vocalist, recording artist, songwriter, and youth educator-mentor, @mahoganeeamiger of @responsibleartistry!
🦋
Join us tomorrow on #TheChrysalisExperience as we discuss "The Responsibility of Voice!" #applepodcasts #newpodcast #spotify #podcastforwomen

It amazes me how God can bring certain people into your life and you feel an instant connection with them. How you can feel so close to someone with whom you’ve never even shared physical space. For me, that’s the sign of a divine connection...a lasting an anointed friendship. @laurahuntstyle is one of those people for me. I am so blessed to call her Friend! Thank you for my butterfly journal and hair clip, Laura...even from miles away, you know me so well! 🦋

Most times, the thoughts going on inside my head are wildly colorful. Sometimes, ideas are sparked that excite me to the point of never wanting to sleep again! Because the ideas are so good that I only want to focus on bringing them to life. Ideas like books and art and movie scripts!
What excites you to the point of feeling like you don’t want to miss a moment of it? #colorfulmind

Your #voice is your #spark! It’s that flicker in

Your #voice is your #spark! It’s that flicker inside of you capable of setting the world ablaze. It’s that ember that burns and glows long after everyone thinks the fire has been extinguished. It’s that tiny glow responsible for creating worlds! Get in touch with your spark! Turn that flicker into a flame! Share your voice in a way that ignites the sparks of those around you!

As you cultivate your unique identity, your voice

As you cultivate your unique identity, your voice magnifies! But there is a responsibility that comes with that power. You should feel obligated use your voice wisely when it comes to others. #theresponsibilityofvoice #voiceispower This topic coming soon to #TheChrysalisExperience podcast!

Yesterday, I recorded a podcast conversation with @mahoganeeamiger of @responsibleartistry regarding “The Responsibility of Voice.” This recording will air Wednesday, January 20th on #TheChrysalisExperience.
🎙🦋🎙
I find it quite interesting that an ugly display of gross misuse of Voice took place in our nation’s capitol today. It’s confirmation that this conversation needs to be heard. Also, notice in this video clip I am saying, “The power of the voice.” I say that because it’s true.
Mark your calendars...I hope you’ll join us.

When we collect and connect our dots and bring them together with the collections and connections of others, we create a beautiful intimacy that fosters community, compassion, understanding and growth. Here’s to us all sharing in this dynamic process with one another. #collectconnectshare #connectthedots

My 2021 word of the year is #FREEDOM. I always pray and ask God for my word. And He is always faithful to answer. After I receive my word, I immerse myself in it. I seek out its definition and read scripture surrounding it. This year in addition to scripture and definitions, I have found myself drawn to my all-time favorite poem, “Song of the Open Road” by Walt Whitman. Especially stanzas 1 and 5. This poem oozes Freedom. It excites me. I can feel the emotion behind every word.
🦋🦋🦋
“1
Afoot and light-hearted I take to the open road,
Healthy, free, the world before me,
The long brown path before me leading wherever I choose.”
🦋🦋🦋
“5
From this hour I ordain myself loos’d of limits and imaginary lines,
Going where I list, my own master total and absolute,
Listening to others, considering well what they say,
Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating,
Gently,but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me.
I inhale great draughts of space,
The east and the west are mine, and the north and the south are mine.”

“It’s very hard to have ideas. It’s very hard to put yourself out there, it’s very hard to be vulnerable, but those people who do that are the dreamers, the thinkers and the creators. They are the magic people of the world.” ~Amy Poehler #Dream #Create #BeMagical #abbracadabra What’s your magic? What are you dreaming of?

“When you know yourself, you are empowered. When

“When you know yourself, you are empowered. When you accept yourself, you are invincible.” ~@tinalifford
I don’t know that the processes of knowing and accepting yourself can be done in one fell swoop. I think, quite possibly, it is done bit by bit...little by little...one beautiful trait at a time. I can recall a time when I kept my drawings secret...a time when I thought my artistry to be unworthy of attention or voice. But then, I came to know myself as an artist. I liked her. And I was indeed empowered. And the more I explored and shared my talents, I began to accept myself as an artist. And I became invincible. 🦋 What is something you both came to know and accept about yourself? 🦋#art #pencildrawing #tinalifford #knowyourself #acceptyourself #iamanartist #voice

I've never been comfortable with conforming to only one facet of myself. The world inside of me is multidimensional. My heart would slow down if I did not honor them all. To choose only one side would mean turning my back on the rest. For me, there is no growth in that. My dimensions give me depth. 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋 How do you honor the many facets of you? #YouAreADiamond #Shine #GiveVoiceToItAll

Your Voice is your identity. And there is nothing more powerful than walking confidently and authentically in who you are! Every time you share your voice, you create an energy and a freedom that is atomic! #voice #identity #thepowerofvoice #voiceismysuperpower

Remember when they said you couldn’t do it? Remember when they said you couldn’t become it? Or what about the time they said you would never achieve it?
Well...what if they were wrong?

What if you can do it?
What if you can become it?
What if you can achieve it?

And what if YOU’RE AMAZING?!

I haven’t always felt comfortable sharing my unique #Voice. I can recall the many years it suffered constant attacks...usually by those who claimed to love me most. Today, my voice is free. Yours can be, too! Give your voice wings! Let it be heard. Let it fly high above the negativity. Let it soar above the noise! 🦋 #theimancipationofvoice #setyourvoicefree #flybutterfly
