Mastering You

If you have not seen the show "Master Class" on the OWN channel, I highly recommend you check it out.  It's an hour show featuring a public figure sharing how they have mastered their life and the path they took to get there.  My past fav episodes featured Simon Cowell, Lorne Michaels and Condoleeza Rice (even though I never liked her when she was in office).  Tonight's powerful episode featured non other then Oprah herself.  Need I say more??  Her triumphs over all adversities thrown at her are truly amazing.  She was born unwanted, at 6 was told to sleep outside on the porch of the house where her mother was a maid simply because she was a dark skinned black child, was abused and yet knew she had a higher purpose.  Knowing who she was and always doing her best gave her a sense of confidence and self.  At the end of any relationship whether it is of a love, friendship or even professional nature, I feel one needs to get back to the core of who they are.  We all pour ourselves in what we do and who we love.  At least I know I do.  When you are driven by something or someone, there is nothing you can't achieve.  It's almost like our cells breath passion and turn it into extra power!  Anyone whose life is fueled by passion faces the same dilemma once the object of their affection is taken away.  We feel lost and without a purpose and although it is the hardest thing to do, getting back to the essence of who we are and what inspired us to start with is the best way to heal and take care of ourself.  Most likely you had a life prior to the relationship or the job you loved so much and chances are because of the love you shared and experiences you had you are now an even stronger and better person.  Knowing your power and your purpose is one of the most powerful tools we have in our bag of tricks.  Reminding myself of this particular thought prove to be challenging tonight as I was dining with a newly engaged couple...Although I am thrilled for them, part of me was reminded of what I did not have anymore.  But before I could start feeling sorry for myself, my inner voice (RuPaul that is) kicked in and reminded me of all the good things in my life, plus, envy is not only ugly but does not lead you anywhere other then desperation town. No need to get on that train... Instead I am flying to San Francisco tomorrow where I will be staying with the fab Zel at a fantastic hotel.  Yes indeed, my life is full of blessings...

Tonight's playlist is as usual all over the place so bear with me and enjoy!
