A Blog by Adrienne Wallace

What a big word huh? Just seeing it makes you question, hesitate, resist. What do we think we are giving up? Is it control? Is it loss of control? Is it an act of believing something has greater will than we do? Are we revealing that which we think is a secret when we "surrender"? Could we be relinquishing something that is or that we perceive as power? I have come to learn that surrender is a good thing. Doing it without expectation of what comes next is satisfying. Therefore, it is not I surrender because X or Y will happen. It is in fact the truth that I surrender because I can and the ability to just do that is what it is to really harness one's power. Surrender. Do it now. It is for me ...picking up my camera and heading out to point it at whatever I see in the world. TODAY I have not done that in too long. I love my own photography. It is dancing on the street without the permission of a street festival and with a friend who feels old a...

This song moves me beyond words. it is especially affirming on how just knowing love when you see it, feel it, have it. "Your Daddy Love comes with a lifetime guarantee!"

Sometimes... Feels likely lately. I have come across people who are extremely discomforting. These are people so uncomfortable in their respective spaces that they push and shove their way in trying to get into yours. I repel those folks. Rebuke them like they are the devil and anything else near evil. I do not believe in them. I celebrate life without them. We have to. I maintain my grace and high spirit. I keep them in my prayers knowing that we are all spiritual beings having sometimes the lowest of human experiences. I hope they believe enough to pray and focus great mental energy at some level for themselves. Self advocacy is important everywhere and at all times; but loucest when it is given to the higher most Divine power..God. I wish them the Agape and Philos and mostly the self love to find grace in all things. Of lately when I see a trend of complaint,gossip, down talking, and criticism of others coming from them I send the following message. "Sometimes ...

I have often said that the opposite sex confuses the term "courtship" and thinks that it allows for games.  This is not only true of the opposite sex, but it happens in an analogous fashion in  the business world as well. In business, you  may come across people who are in roles that they are not well suited for or competent to fill. They coast along playing games and doing subpar work until someone comes in to lead and demands a certain business acumen and a sense of urgency,transparency,a consistent and clearcommunication style and what I like to call "thorough- putting" that are often missing.  These are the same things missing from courtship.  . When those screwing up the business opportunity are evaluated we often see that they had no goals set and no mentors. Likewise many men do not plan for their dating lives and often did not have role models that served as good relationship mentors as it applies to courtship.  They see other men mistrea...

Do you know that amidst the hustle and bustle of it all, despite the fear and dissatisfaction that we sometimes feel in our lives, God waits patiently for us to exercise the will and courage to get to our " allstate"? That Divine One is saying . "You were made in love, designed for love, originally accepting and deserving of love. That is your allstate. " If your God does not say this to you..if it doesn't resonate, let me introduce you to it today. How do we get there? Back to the middle? We are going to have to be really selective in our personal lives and happiness is the only alternative. Nothing should be increasingly difficult when we are sure of the bliss God intends. I think it is extremely important to let each person know what expectations we have of our lives and we must tell them and have them understand that what we want from them is only the things which support our life goals. It is in fact, a call to them to bring their best selves into ...
