Sharing IS Caring.

Hey peeps!.:-),
       What's crack a lacking???It's presently 8:25 PM on Monday May 19th 2012 on my tiny side of the earth.I must say the weather's been amazing.....not to say we get horrible days of winter or anything ;-) but It hasn't been unbearably hot and that's always a plus.I had a
 Pretty decent weekend....spent most of my Saturday in the .......Nehoosers,as per the title I think I'm falling in love with social media.I mean,hey there are moments when it can seem so horribly boring and negative BUT I've managed to sift through my contacts and am trying to maintain an environment that is drama free,empowering and just somewhere I can be motivated to keep working towards my goals.I've realized only recently how toxic it can be when you do spend so much of your time on social media and going through your timeline sorta sucks the positivity outta you by reading silly comments and statuses etc....And being that I know personally how hard it is to hold onto your peace throughout your day, I truly believe it's incredibly important for us to make our surroundings....Be it our social media life or our work place,schools,church...just our everyday environment.I think it's imperative that our surroundings reflect the type of life we want to live.In order to be inspired to be better,to learn,to teach,to continue on our journey every single day takes about as much from your personal efforts as the environment you're in.My moment of epiphany came today when I was just about  finished with my workouts and honestly I was not in The mood to train at all but coming online and reading all these inspirational quotes and seeing other people posting about their results just helped to remind me why I'm working hard to maintain a healthy lifestyle and why giving in to "laziness" is just not an option!Now,I'm sooooo pumped up to start my day tomorrow again on a healthy note.:-) So I just hope that while I'm being highly inspired that I can in turn inspire someone by sharing my little tid bits to continue or start your jouney.......whatever it is..you're  not  alone,Theres at least one person who is doing exactly what you are.Thank God for outlets like this where we can all come together and share and inspire and motivate each other while on our individual walks.
As far as updates,I'm now on level 2 of the Jillian Jenkins 30 day shred and although its somewhat more challenging, I think it's more enjoyable than level 1.....So I'm currently loving the planks and jumping Jack's and crunches because I know there will be change at the end of this plan.Anyway,I hope you have an amazingly productive  week.A bientot! Catch ya later! xxxxxxxx.   <<<Smooches>>>

Operation Size Me.......And other rants.

HI ya'll,

 So I'm super happy to be sharing today....:-).I've had a pretty darn good week n half.I'm officially on day 9 of the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and the 30 day squat challenge.Yupperoni.....your girl's been dipping it and putting that ass to work.......and its great!It's amazing the level of productivity I feel daily by being able to mark off another day in my calendar.I've attempted this work out plan in the past and honestly would normally wind up slacking off due to sore muscles or some other 'excuse' by day five however to be finishing level one tomorrow is such an accomplishment because I know I will be getting the results I need to see.:-)
   Also,I've officially completed my cake decorating class and I'm super duper proud of what I've learned....mind you in this business you're always learning.What I love most about making cakes and decorating them is the Zen-zone I tend to fall into while I'm lost in the mess of sugars.I've pretty much  known since forever that I wanted to learn to be an amazing pastry chef/cake decorator/baker for a long time and being able to be in the position now to learn and grow in this field is amazing.I've found my nook in the universe where I can just be ME and be content while doing it.
    Advice for the week?Find your niche......Be open to learn as much as you can and just keep growing until you have mastered the art of whatever it is that keeps you enthralled and highly distracted from the world.Mind you I'm not where I need to be but I have so much peace in finally having that confirmation within me that says you're headed there!.Well...........As my day draws to an end,I bid you Love by the bucketfuls,infinite peace and many blessings to last your days.Be a blessing and be blessed!     >>>Smooches<<<

 My decorated cake with Fondant,royal icing roses and Apple blossoms.

 My banana bread.

 My go to spinach omelette with Mango.



My go to Lentil peas soup.

Commitment,Consistency,Courage.

Wow,it's been officially a month since I've graced these pages and while I have been keeping busy with my cake decorating class and trying to stay on my health-journey,naturalhair journey and everything else between the layers......I've missed ranting.:-).So today I'm currently meal prepping...trying to improve on my lentil soup.I've actually been doing my green less lately but I've also extended my palette in some ways.It seems like every fruit on the island is in bloom so I'm taking advantage of having mangoes,papaya and bananas as breakfast.It's so refreshing to have fresh fruit in the mornings!. Nehoo,Not too much has changed in my workout regimen per say......although I have been off n on...I have been religious with my morning walks but I really need to get back into my workout plans so I'm going back to Jillian Michaels "30 day shred " + 30 day squat challenge.:-) I figure if I'm able to complete a program every month or very 90 days...however long they are it'll be a huge boost to actually staying dedicated.I'm one of those people who likes making my lists of things to do...goals to accomplish and I believe it plays a great part in giving you that sense of achievement by being able to mark off completed goals.
   The thing is I see so many people in mg online community and even in my everyday life who are on this journey to be healthier and its many ups n downs ....and I think the main issue I've noticed is being consistent,even with my own journey so I see how incredibly important it is for our surroundings and people close to us to be apart of our goal.Starting a new habit is not easy especially after years of doing things another way but I know with the right motivation and encouragement,we can all succeed and get to that place we all aim to be!.On top of that though,the biggest part is being able to get back up...Don't beat yourself up if you miss a day or two.Keep jumping back on that train until you've arrived at your desired destination.....Remember NOTHING GOOD COMES EASY AND ANYTHING WORTH HAVING IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR.Don't Quit!Stay Focused!Be Positive!Go Go Go!. Have a Productive week!   >>>Smooches<<<

My Epiphany.

I've spent my 20 somethings always looking for LOVE.......that forever after kinda LOVE while ignoring all the many hearts that have loved me absolutely unconditionally.Being so distracted by the ones who will never see the great in me that the fog somehow clouded all the ones who have held me to the utmost highest level.I HAVE BEEN LOVED thoroughly by the most beautiful souls.I may be thousands of miles away but my heart just explodes with the memories,the thoughts and all the proof of my 30 years of being Loved.It's one thing to say I love you but to be loved in return ........the joy!The absolute freedom!That is the true beauty of LOVE.So today I'm sooooo thankful for the little angels who have blessed me with their love-unconditional and for the friends and family that have Chosen to love me and most especially my God...My Father...My Friend  who has seen all of me and still LOVES me daily.I am soo blessed beyond measure because of LOVE.:-) Just a bit of an epiphany I guess......Have.  wonderful day guys!Be blessed!. >>>Smooches<<<

Maintaining your peace of mind.

All too often I find that it's a daily struggle to keep your wits about you and to just stay in a positive mindset.With sooooo much happening in my circle I often find it so tempting to lose my cool amidst the daily hustle and  bustle and the many negative voices and distractions. :-| As hard as it sometimes get to not allow myself the chance to get too caught up in "feelings" or "moods" I've grown to realize how incredibly  important it is for me to maintain that aura of peace that I find whenever I read God's word or when I'm just feeling "too blessed to be stressed".Listen I know that there will be many encounters throughout your day that is gonna test your patience and I know that opportunities are gonna arise where you will let the nega-juice seep into your psyche if only for a second.One of the things that helps me to remain grounded n thankful is reminding myself of how Great it is to be smiling and laughing and blessed........because I know that not everyday is a "happy" day per say,even more so the fact that it's with my own dedication and investments into my "peace fund" that I'm even able to have that unquestionable joy......therefore NOTHING is worth giving that up!.NADA.
   So I just want to remind US TO be vigilante,to keep your mind on things that will aid in having a joyful heart throughout your daily routine.Your moods,your feelings,your mindset are the very elements that will concrete your entire day.....If you let nega-juice in then it messes up your whole aura and trust that you're going to have to work twice as hard to regain your positivity.Time well wasted...... So spend every morning as your day begins to plant seeds of LOVE and peace in your heart and every moment you have throughout your waking hours to replenish those positive,empowering LOVE seeds which you've sown.Then it will be darn near impossible for your neighbour,co-worker,friend....anyone to create a rift in your sea of peace.Ok y'all,that's all for now....I've been totally slacking on my Blog posts for a minute now but I do plan to try to be more dedicated to my blog life.Speak to you soon and be blessed! <3  >>>Smooches<<<

Hola amigos.....muchachos...mes amis......ma sister...ma brutha,

   How you doinnnnnnnn????As for moi,I'm okay....feeling a bit home sick,missing Montreal and snow days and Tim hortons lol and the list go's on to infinity.However guess what?Life is good.....the days are nice n and the nights are perfectly cool.I have much to be thankful for so no complaints......God is working.This week so far has been good,I did some box braids....yippeee..nice to have my hair put away coz it makes working out sooooo much easier.My hair is growing sooooo much,my fro is getting bigger every month and I can't wait to see it at 6 months and 1 year...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH it's so far yet so close.Honestly I know every naturalista says this and by now it's perhaps a bit over rated but going natural really is the best choice I ever made as far as my hair/health/well being.It's officially 4 months in and I can remember how anxious I was to big chop....the nerves I went through wondering whether I would like it or not.Now.....:-).....my smile gets bigger as my journey to healthy,coily,kinky,nappy hair continues.There's this amazing new found freedom when you come face to face with YOU....you minus the extensions....you in your most natural state...It's as if your mental,spiritual and physical self have finally merged to create the real YOU....beneath all  the layers.It takes a lot of courage to take a step like that but oh the joy!.

  If you haven't yet worked up the nerve to  big chop or transition to natural,I urge you to try.....I mean it becomes more than just about hair.....going natural is actually what's made me want to eat healthier and get fit.It's way more than just a trend or a fashion statement.....It's a lifestyle.The more good you put in..the more good you can give.I challenge you to take that step you've been contemplating....maybe you want a new career path or you want to live a healthy lifestyle or it could be something as simple as being nicer to people you encounter.....whatever it is...do it!Step out in faith and you will see the rewards.This past year has been such a roller coaster but I'm so fortunate that I still dream and even more so that I'm able to now DO.....DO everything that I spent my 20's dreaming about.Procrastination is a dream killer so don't let it steal your dreams.Live today! :-) Have an amazing weekend ya'll

Hi guys,I don't really have much to say today but just thought I'd come by and drop a line anyway.The past week has been so stressful for me and I've had to find therapy in my "hobbies" which ended up being so refreshing to the soul.I've started my cake decorating class and it just keeps getting better each time because I am definitely learning some things but it's more so my time to just shut everything else out and do something I absolutely enjoy.:-).......I can't tell you enough how exhilarating it is for me.Another thing I LOVE to do to relax is having my at home spa days where I do a facial,do my nails and shrubs masks etc.....I think it's so important to take that ME time out every now and then to just lay some loving on me......As I lay here in the after glow of nurturing me,I literally feel as if I'm glowing n every pore is breathing clearly lol.....dramatic much?....But honestly I'm so relaxed.I think the best cure for the blues is being able to treat yourself....So,How about it?Whatever it is that makes you feel like a queen Do it!Whether it's a little retail therapy,a spa day,eating good food or reading a book or whatever you enjoy doing....Get to it and enjoy YOU!.It's not only gonna be beneficial to your state of mind but anyone who crosses your path will also be able to revel in the glow of your happy place.No matter how busy.....wait....especially when your busy make it your business to grab that time out.If you're a spa day girl like moi,you don't have to spend big bucks to feel great...Trust me!A simple sugar scrub made from Brown sugar n lemon is a great exfoliant,there are a lot of cheap face masks that you can buy or simply make an oatmeal mask,boil some mint leaves and you have an invigorating steam and don't forget the cucumber slices for your puffy eyes.....Sit back,relax and enjoy the calm.See?It doesn't take a lot to pamper yourself does it?As I bid adieu I hope you enjoy the rest of your week whatever you're doing.....Do it Great! BE YOUR BEST ! Be Blessed!Be  a Blessing!  >>>Smooches<<<

Papaya smoothie recipe.

So I know it's not meal prep day which is my usual blog day but I wanted to share a smoothie recipe real quick.I know that not everyone can chug a green smoothie because they think it probably tastes yucky from all the greens.....yadda yadda yadda HOWEVER I made this amaze balls smoothie for the faint of heart.Yes....It's DELICIOUS and Smooth and creamy and no milk! :-) Now I Hope you guys take my word for it and try out this all natural yummy goodness in a class coz it's absolutely delish!Enjoy and have an AMAZING And Productive week....whatever you're doing.....Make it great!. BLESSINGS.

                          Papaya Smoothie.

1 ripe papaya
1 orange
1 banana
1 coconut (Juice)
1-2 handfuls of spinach
Few cubes of ice

Now I can't give you measurement on how much it makes but you should get two servings at least.Just peel the papaya and orange and remove the seeds....Put all the ingredients in a blender and blend until it gets smooth.Easy breezy rite?Now.....isn't that a great way of getting your fruits and veggies in a glass?.Cheers! ;-) Ps.There's also a pic of my detox which is cucumber slices,lemon slices,fresh mint leaves and a sliver of ginger.Flushes out all those toxins.Just leave it overnight in the fridge and drink the next day.

Morning guys,
   So I've been M.I.A for over a week but here I am.....alive n kicking n back in step with the beat.  :-).Now I have to be honest about  a few things,I've been slacking on my workouts and although I've been meal prepping as always and green snoothies....I've also been eating things that are on my do not touch list.Yes I know......totally embarrassed but I'm reinforcing my no sugar,no flour,no rice plan again!.For breakfast this morning I had a delicious plate of papaya as they are in season and I'm loving it!They're sooooo good....The benefits of living on an island is having access to all these fruits straight from the tree.I have this new found appreciation for God and his providing ways.....He thought of every detail when he created our home.....we can never go hungry because the land just keeps giving in abundance.Looking around me I see "Manna" everywhere....I see papaya,mango,coconut,plums,damsel,banana,breadfruit and all these root vegetables.How blessed are we?!!
   It's this realization that now makes me want to eat as much from mother earth as I can....papaya for breakfast is a good start and all part of a healthy meal plan!So as I get back on my journey to healthy......I ask for inspiration and encouragement to not faint or get weary but to continue to infect my thoughts and habits with good seeds and in turn hopefully share it all with you.I think it's imperative that we remind ourselves that there will be days when we falter or fall off course from our plans but strength is refined every time you get back up and press on.As much as I try to be an inspiration.....I wouldn't be able to be that if I myself didn't have my many inspirations that help me to seek that peace n happiness which I crave.Trust and believe it does not come easy.....you have to remind yourself everyday to think positively,do good and most especially speak only great things about yourself and others.Faint not......Isaiah 40:31-They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.They shall mount up with wings as eagles,they shall run and not be weary,they shall walk and not faint. Have a blessed day y'all and be a blessing! Be at peace!Be HAPPY!
  Ps.I just celebrated my 1st wedding anniversary :-).It's a struggle being miles away from my husband and the challenges can be many but our love for each other makes them go away as they come.:-).

LOVE Beneath the 'Layers'.

Hey hey Heyyyy......It's a GORGEOUS day out in St.Vincent.Super lucky aren't we?.

 It's been a week since my last post and I find I get real antsy about what to share next and then just when I'm about to cry "writer's block".....I find my next rant!:-).I want to stress something to us girls,young ladies and women on a whole.It is so imperative that we love ourselves!I spent years thinking I knew myself enough but it took coming to the realization that had I had this great love affair with myself I would not have settled,have lived less than or acted out of my true self oh so many times.Honestly it took a lot of 'soul searching'....Questioning myself,Investigating my own actions and then gradually reminding myself when necessary of all the wonderfully,lovable qualities that I possess to be in a state of self acceptance and unconditional self LOVE that I've arrived at.
  I see so many young women around me that are making some of the mistakes I made,running around looking for attention.....without living or knowing their WORTH.Love is a cycle,that first starts with you....then travels to every person around you but if you don't LOVE 'YOU',how could you truly LOVE another??if you live below your value,how could you expect to be loved fully by another?I think one of the saddest things is not loving yourself
...Listen,every morning and night you have to greet yourself,when the world is shut out,all you have are YOUR thoughts.It's the most important relationship you will have....if you can master that then you can really start living,loving,giving,receiving........Don't ever be afraid to take time out to figure out who you are,what you stand for,what you value and whom you would like to be!.
  We wear so many layers everyday...and nothing is wrong with makeup or hair extensions or fashion but with careful introspection,you should be able to see yourself "Naked......beneath all the many faces and personas you show and still know that without it you are an AMAZING 'commodity'.Ladies,Own who you are!Flaws and All.....every scar,every mistake,every single element that is YOU,recognize your Worth and then lay some loving on yourself!.Compete with no one but YOU and stride your way into Freedom!.Be BLESSED! >>>Smooches<<<

Salut to My Chapter 20.

I woke up this morning a year older and incredibly thankful that I've been blessed with LOVE....I don't just mean My romantic Love but the love I received from my friends,family and acquaintances.I'm honestly not the most outgoing person at all but certainly as I've grown throughout the years I'm becoming much more open in showing the real Meesha.Unfortunately not everyone gets to see me at my very best as I tend to be guarded but one of the many things I've learned and still trying to master is the art of being ME inspire of who,what or why.My Chapter twenty has taught me to LOVE myself and value the woman I am and in turn to share all that Love with others.....I can only say this so confidently because I didn't always know who I was or love myself as a result of not having examined my own heart.It was during my darkest hours that I was able to treat myself to some soul searching and refreshing my mind about my self worth and digging down deep to wash and scrub and find all those things that makes me so dang lovable.It's AMAZING to me to be at this new place where I can say This is who I am,This is what I am AND I am worthy and I LOVE every nook and cranny that makes up Meesha Miller.I'm a better woman than I was hence I have now taken responsibility in being a better woman to others.
  Now at the very beginning of my Chapter 30,I feel so honoured and humbled for my life and all that's in it.I know this journey of mine is nowhere near to the end because the mutterings of my heart have yet to be all fulfilled.I believe without a doubt that God has ordained my life to be a blessing in his name and I can only pray to be ready when he calls me.So for today,I just want to say Thank you to all who's played a role in my life whether negatively or  positively.However my goals for chapter 30 and beyond are first to be a great wife and mother ,to be a better lover to the people in my life and to live a life of good expectations.....To hold steadfast to POSITIVITY,SELFLOVE,BROTHERLY LOVE,FORGIVENESS and Allowing myself the pleasure of always smiling and laughing and loving in spite of!.Now as I bid adieu to Chapter 20 Meesha...I raise my glass in honour for the girl I've been and the woman I'm becoming. Thanks for reading......Be BLESSED!.  >>>Smooches<<<

Your life is a reflection of your expectations.

Philippians 4:11-Not that I speak in respect of want,for I have learned in whatsoever state I am...therewith to be content.

It's another Friday and this scripture has always been a favourite of mine simply because it reminds me to be thankful regardless of circumstance....It's really quite easy to say Thank you God when everything seems to be going right in your life however the greatest thanks is being able to be just as gracious even when nothing seems to be right with you.That point in your life when money is scarce,you feel absolutely alone and your back is against the wall...BE THANKFUL!Those are the Times when we grow in our faith the most...That is True Faith in motion!So I just want to encourage you today to not let yourself be blindsided by the negatives but to see that beautiful rainbow during the storm and having confidence that it will not last forever so that when it subsides and the sun comes a shining....you will have gained .I remember the story of Job when he was tested beyond imagination and you know he had every reason to give up his faith but he didn't!And because of all those trials he came out of that storm more faithful than when he begun.
  This also shows the difference that a positive mind set can make in our lives.It's beyond seeing the glass half full or half empty......It's being able to allow yourself to think,speak and do only the good.Never let the negative things cloud your mind to that extent that you can't see all the great things that are there.I've seen for myself how simply expecting the good from others actually attracts the good to your own life.....just as I've also seen how holding on to the bad makes every day seem dull and dark and hopeless.Having a positive mindset gives you the courage to Dream,to expect amazing things to happen,To see an open door,To see past the storm to the brighter days ahead.It's a choice really....you can focus on the good or you can choose the bad.Whichever way you choose it will only expand.So Dream if you must,Let your fantasies become your reality....Focus on the Good and the universe will keep sending the same to you!. Be Blessed!. 

Ranting n Raving n meal prepping.

Hey guys!! :-),
     
      It's the beginning of a gorgeous day in St.Vincent and feeling blessed and highly favoured.This week marks my week 2 of my healthy meal plan and I've succeeded in meal prep and keeping on my clean eating path.My body is quickly adjusting to my workouts and I notice I have so much energy now that even after I'm done that I'm bouncing off the walls.Lol And I love it!.So for next week I wanna just challenge myself a little more by pushing my limits from my current workouts.I weighed in yesterday at 150 lbs which is okay but my main goal is being toned and fit and shedding unnecessary fat.So the journey continues......
   I honestly don't have a lot to say otherwise....God is surely working in my life.As I draw closer to him I feel his power working through me and in me to being more fruitful.It's an amazing thing having him as my bestie!.:-). I'm officially 10 days away from my big bday and I'm slowly getting excited......what a decade 20's have been....WOW!.The many changes I've gone through,the many trials and mistakes....Life has been tough at times but I'm learning to sock a punch at her when she acts up.he he.....As i take my leave I hope that you have a fantabulously amazing day and keep LOVE in your thoughts as you deal with others....It would make the world of difference!.Be Blessed!Be a blessing!  >>>Smooches<<<

To forgive Is To be Forgiven.

Hi guys.......How's everybody doing?Today I really wanted to speak on Forgiveness.I'm as guilty as anyone else of holding a grudge when I've been burnt by someone.....I think carrying around that burden of holding malice towards another even if we might feel we have every right to be hurt because we have been hurt.The bible teaches in many different ways how we ought to be loving to every person...even our enemies.It says "Bless them that use you and persecute you,Bless and curse not.Now in our natural state of mind I find it so easy to let pride rule over that love we ought to show.At the end of the day,what I've come to realize is unforgiveness hurts only YOU....the person you are holding it against really doesn't care and by choosing to love you're truly heaping loads of blessings on yourself as well as teaching that person how to LOVE more.LOVE I believe is the greatest teacher,no better example is there than using an opportunity where being angry is easiest to instead say you know what you have burned my very soul but I will LOVE you anyways.I will help you regardless.Forgiveness is LOVE in action!.
   Now I say this not to puff my chest as if to know it all but because I have come to gain some wisdom as I try to share as I learn.:-)......I've been battling with forgiving people for different reasons and there are times I have felt at peace knowing I'm working on that forgiving act however there are those days when I'm reminded of why I should be mad or hurt and  It's in those very moments that I have to let God be active and do his work in me.It's a daily act to forgive someone but I know through God's own promises that it is worth the struggle when you can finally obtain that wonderful peace in your heart knowing that you are made better...to be able to LOVE inspire of and not just because of.That is LOVE-UNCONDITIONAL.As I leave I hope your heart will be blessed as I have by this realization......Be blessed!.  >>>Smooches<<<

   Normally I get so highly nostalgic at the start of the new year,reminiscing on moments and planning on doing things better but this year I find that I'm just looking forward to the future...I feel that being a procrastinator it's time for me to just get things done.Do the things I say I want to do.....just DO...ACT!. :-).
  So today if nothing more I just wanna say to somebody...you can never get back time well wasted.If there are things you want accomplished,if there are things you want to do......plan well and work hard at executing your plan.Just live!.Do!.Do it all....you won't succeed at everything but I can imagine the pleasure of having done those things!.I wish you all the best for this year and many more in blessings and courage to LIVE!.
