WORTHINESS

WORTHINESS IS A VALUABLE DAILY WISDOM WORD.  I DON’T MEAN THIS AS A PUN EITHER.  WORTHINESS IS SOMETHING IMPORTANT WE FEEL INSIDE THAT CAN AFFECT WHAT WE FEEL WE ARE WORTHY OF WHETHER THAT BE GOOD OR BAD.  IF WE DON’T FEEL WE ARE WORTHY OF GOOD THINGS AND GOOD PEOPLE IN OUR LIVES, WE WON’T ATTRACT THE GOOD THINGS AND GOOD PEOPLE BECAUSE WE FEEL WE DON’T DESERVE THEM.  PERHAPS THAT EXPLAINS WHY SELF-ESTEEM AND SELF-WORTH ARE BOTH IMPORTANT WHEN DETERMINING WORTHINESS.  

IF WE FEEL WE AREN’T WORTHY OF SOMETHING OR SOMEONE GOOD, THIS IS FELT SOMETIMES WHEN WE FEEL GUILTY ABOUT SOMETHING WE VIEW AS BAD WE HAVE DONE SUCH AS HURTING ANOTHER PERSON OR A FORM OF SELF-PUNISHMENT.  THIS IS WHEN WE SEE WORTHINESS TAKE ON SUCH BEHAVIOR AS “CUTTING OURSELVES” OR SELF PUNISHMENT WHICH HARMS US IN SOME WAY. 

IF WE ARE NOT HURTING OURSELVES WITH CUTTING, OR HARMFUL EATING DISORDERS, THEN WE GENERALLY FIND WE PUNISH OURSELVES BY PICKING. PEOPLE WE FEEL WE ARE WORTHY OF.  IF OUR SELF-WORTH OR WORTHINESS IS AFFECTED, THAN SO ARE THE PEOPLE WE CHOOSE TO BE AROUND AND THE QUALITY OF THESE INDIVIDUALS.  LET US TAKE A LOOK AT WORTHINESS IN OUR WEBSTER DICTIONARY. 

WEBSTER DICTIONARY MEANING OF WORTHINESS-1.  THE QUALITY OF BEING GOOD ENOUGH, SUITABILITY.  2.  THE QUALITY OF DESERVING RESPECT OR ATTENTION.

DAILY WISDOM WORD DEFINITION OF WORTHINESS-1.  A QUALITY WHICH DETERMINES WHAT WE VIEW AS WORTHY INCLUDING OURSELVES AND OTHERS.  WORTHINESS CAN BE A MAKE OR BREAK QUALITY BECAUSE IT FACTORS IN HOW WE TREAT OTHERS AND MORESO, OURSELVES. 

WORTHINESS IS SOMETHING THAT MAY REQUIRE GETTING PROFESSIONAL HELP FOR TO DIG IN AND FIND OUT WHY WE DON’T FEEL WORTHY OR PERHAPS WE FEEL TOO WORTHY WHICH CAN HAVE THE OPPOSITE REACTION FROM OURSELVES.  IF WE FEEL OUR SELF-WORTH IS MORESO THAN ANOTHER, WE MAY TREAT OTHER INDIVIDUALS WITH LITTLE OR NO RESPECT WHEN WE FEEL IN SOME WAY WE ARE BETTER THAN THEM.  THIS CAN ALSO BE A PROBLEM WE WON’T FULLY GET TO THE BOTTOM OF WITHOUT MUCH SELF-EXAMINATION.  WE DO NEED TO FOCUS ON GETTING THE PROFESSIONAL HELP WE NEED TO GET TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM IF WE FIND OURSELVES FEELING LESS THAN OR MORE THAN.  AGAIN, BALANCE AND EQUALITY OF OURSELVES WITHOUT THE NEED TO COMPARE OURSELVES TO OTHERS, ARE KEY IN DEVELOPING HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS.  EVERYTHING NEEDS AN OUTLET AND THAT INCLUDES OUR WORTHINESS WHICH IS WHY WE DO SEE SOME EATING/CUTTING DISORDERS WHICH IS A FORM OF SELF-PUNISHMENT WHEN WE DON’T FEEL WORTHY OR PERHAPS FEEL GUILTY WHEN WE MISTREAT OTHERS, SO WE MISTREAT OURSELVES TO BALANCE THIS FEELING OUT, OFTEN TIMES IN AN UNHEALTHY MANNER.  THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING ABOUT WORTHINESS TODAY.  SAMANTHA LEBOEUF/DAILYWISDOMWORDS.COM

SEASON’S GREETINGS! ALL MEMBERS AND FRIENDS, DAILY WISDOM WORDS, LLC/ BYE, 2020

THE TIME IS HERE, MEMBERS AND FRIENDS.  WE ARE SPENDING THE LAST FEW WEEKS OF 2020 AS I WRITE THIS.  WHAT A YEAR, LET’S FACE IT.  WE HAVE DONE OUR BEST TO ADAPT OUR WRITING TO THE CURRENT EVENTS.  COVID-19 IS MY FIRST THOUGHT THINKING BACK ON 2020.  WE WATCHED A VIRUS TURN INTO A PANDEMIC.  WE WATCHED OUR LOVED ONES AND FRIENDS SUFFER WITH ILLNESS FROM COVID AND POSSIBLY PASS ON.  THE NUMBER ONE WORD I WILL REMEMBER ABOUT 2020, IS FEAR.

HONESTLY, FEAR SEEMED TO BE A HUGE FACTOR IN MY DECISIONS AS THE FOUNDER OF DAILY WISDOM WORDS.  THERE ARE MOMENTS FROZEN IN TIME FOR ME.  THERE WAS SUCH RESILIENCE AMONG MANY, AND SADLY MORE DIVISION BETWEEN THE PEOPLE AND POLITICS IN THE USA.  WE DEALT WITH HUGE CONSPIRACY THEORIES, AND PEOPLE SADLY TRIED TO ACT UPON THEM AS FACT.  SOME OF US WHO READ THIS STILL BELIEVE SOME OF THESE THEORIES, AND HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO THEIR OPINION.  HOWEVER, TO ACT UPON IT AND CAUSE HARM AND DISRUPTION FOR OTHERS WHO ARE ASSUMED TO HOLD RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSPIRACY ITSELF, IS WRONG.

WE WATCHED WHAT I REFER TO AS A “CIVIL WAR” BETWEEN TWO COLORS;  THE RED AND BLUE.  SPEAKING OF COLORS, WE WERE WARNED ABOUT A FUTURE PANDEMIC MANY YEARS AGO.  WE NEVER TOOK IT SERIOUSLY UNTIL WE ACTUALLY WERE UNDER ITS CAPTIVITY AND STATES WERE DESIGNATED WITH COLORS RATING THEIR LEVELS OF COVID CASES.  ANGER, SADNESS, HAPPINESS, LOSS, DESPERATION, FRUSTRATION, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, ARE JUST A FEW WORDS COMING TO ME WHEN I THINK OF 2020. 

MY LITTLE SISTER WAS MARRIED THE FIRST OF MAY 2019 TO HER SOULMATE.    I WAS IN HER WEDDING, AND HAD HONOR OF WITNESSING THE BEAUTY SHE EXPERIENCED TOUCH MY SOUL WHEN I SAW JUST HOW MUCH SHE LOVED HER HUSBAND AND HIS LOVE FOR HER SO ETERNAL.  I CALL THIS YEAR, “SEASON OF DARKNESS” WITH GLIMPSES OF LIGHT HERE AND THERE.  THIS PANDEMIC BROUGHT OUT THE BEST IN SOME INDIVIDUALS WHO HELPED OTHERS BY GIVING OUT FOOD TO THE NEEDY.  AMERICANS LOST THEIR JOBS ONE BY ONE.  I MUST SAY, I STAYED HOME MOST OF 2020.  I WORKED ON BOOK REVIEWS FOR DAILY WISDOM WORDS,  I DID A LOT OF SOUL SEARCHING BECAUSE THE TIME WAS AVAILABLE TO DO SO.  I BELIEVE FOR ME, A SOLID BLANKET OF DARKNESS CAME TO MY WORLD WHEN MY SISTER WENT FROM HEALTHY TO DEAD IN THE SPAN OF ONE YEAR DUE TO HEAD AND NECK CANCER. 

I WILL NEVER, EVER BE ABLE TO FORGET THE NAME OF HER CANCER, SQUAMISH CELL CARCINOMA.  I WILL NEVER FORGET HER TAKING HER LAST BREATH AND HER BEAUTIFUL BLUE EYES DROP FROM THE BEAUTY OF LIFE AND ANGUISH OF PAIN REP;;ACED WITH PEACE.  THIS WAS THE MOST DIFFICULT PART FOR MYSELF IN 2020.  CURRENT EVENTS WERE DAILY AND I FOUND IT SAD THE NEWS WAS FREQUENTLY MENTIONING THE LOSS OF SOMEONE, SOMEBODY OR A LOVED ONE.  WE GAVE THANKS FOR THEIR LIFE NOW TAKEN FROM THEM UNEXPECTEDLY WITH CORONAVIRUS. 

FRIENDSHIPS SEEMED TO COME AND GO.  SADLY, SOME OF THEM ARE GREATLY MISSED.  HOWEVER, I FINALLY FOUND MY TRUE “BEST FRIEND” ON TWITTER WHO JOINED DAILY WISDOM WORDS AS A MEMBER.  REENIE, I LOVE YOU FOREVER, AND KNOW YOU CAME AS A HUGE BLESSING TO ME.  THE DEEPEST PART OF ME IS ALWAYS TOUCHED BY YOU, AND YOU ARE A BEST FRIEND I LOVE AND HONOR AND AM SO THANKFUL FOR.  YOU ARE SPECIAL, AND SUCH AN INSPIRATION IN EVERY WAY WITH YOUR ARTISTIC TALENT AND INTERNAL KINDNESS AND HUGE HEART.

I NEVER GOT TO SAY GOODBYE TO MY LITTLE SISTER.  THERE WASN’T A FUNERAL AND I CAME BACK FROM CALIFORNIA, WITH HER NO LONGER A PART OF THIS WORLD.  I MUST SAY A VERY VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU AND EXPRESS GRATITUDE TO MY DAILY WIDSOM WORDS WRITERS.  MONDAY, AKA @mondaydpoet WAS THE BLESSING IN A VERY DARK TIME.  MY TEAM RALLIED TOGETHER AND MONDAY USED THE MUSIC PROMPT AS A TOOL SO I GOT TO SAY GOODBYE. HE ASKED ALL MEMBERS AND WRITERS ON TWITTER AND FACEBOOK COME TOGETHER IN MY SISTER’S HONOR .

THOSE WHO WISHED TO FROM THE WRITING COMMUNITY, GIVE CONDOLENCES OR WR)TE A POEM ABOUT MY SISTER.  HE WILL NEVER REALIZE THE GIFT HE GAVE AND MY DAILYWISDOMWORDS.COM TEAM HELPED AND POSTED SUCH COMFORTING, PERSONAL MESSAGES.  I FINALLY FELT BECAUSE OF MONDAY AND ALL HE DID THAT WEEKEND, POSTING PICTURES OF HER, AND PLAYING SONG AFTER SONG SHE EITHER RECORDED OR WROTE, GAVE ME MORE THAT WEEKEND IN THE FORM OF CLOSURE I SO DESPERATELY NEEDED. 

TEARS FLOOD MY EYES TODAY BECAUSE OF MY TEAM AND THE BRIGHT SPOT, AGAIN, MONDAY’S IDEA, RECORDING MESSAGES AND CREATING A VIDEO ON OUR WEBSITE DEDICATING ONE DAY OF THE MUSIC PROMPT IN HONOR OF MY BIRTHDAY.  THIS TIME HE GAVE ME LIGHT.  TWO HUGE GIFTS FROM MY TEAM AT DAILY WISDOM WORDS WHO ALL PARTICIPATED IN MAKING THE VIDEO AND ME SURPRISED LISTENING TO THEM,  KNOWING THE MESSAGES I RECEIVED CAME FROM A PLACE OF LOVE.  THANK YOU TEAM FROM MY HEART TO YOURS.  WE HAD I BELIEVE FIVE DIFFERENT POETRY CONTESTS, AND EACH WINNER WAS AMAZING AS A WRITER AND PERSON.  A SPECIAL THANK YOU IS OWED TO SHIRLEY SATTERFIELD WHO CREATED THE YOUTUBE CHANNEL FOR DAILY WISDOM WORDS, INTERVIEWING WINNERS AND AUTHORS, ALL YEAR ROUND.  NEEL TRIVEDI, A MAN WITH A HUGE HEART BECAME THE OFFICIAL CEO AND CFO OF DAILY WISDOM WORDS.  HE TOOK THE REINS AND DOES SUCH AN AWESOME JOB! THANK YOU NEEL. 

THIS LAST PART IS DONATED TO YOU OUT THERE, OUR READERS OF NEELS WISDOMOLOGY PAGE, AND MY DAILY WISDOM WORD OF THE DAY AND SHIRLEY’S WISE POETS AND AUTHORS OF PRESENT AND PAST.  THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. 

WE WISH TO ALSO EXTEND A HUGE THANK YOU TO THOSE OF YOU WHO SIGNED UP AS MEMBERS OF DAILY WISDOM WORDS.  YOU HONOR OUR CORE VALUES.  WE WERE ABLE TO STILL DONATE A PORTION OF ANY POETRY CONTEST MONEY OR SOME DONATIONS TO THOSE WHO GAVE FINANCIALLY DURING A HARD TIME TO GIVE.  WE LOVE ALL OF YOU, THE READER, THE NEW MEMBER, THE AUTHORS AND THE BOOKS WE WERE BLESSED TO DO BOOK REVIEWS FOR. 

A BIG SHOUTOUT TO MATTHEW ARNOLD, OUR ACCOUNT MANAGER FOR OUR HOSTING COMPANY!  HE WAS AND IS ALWAYS THERE, DESPITE HOW BUSY HE MAY BE.  ALTHOUGH HE IS JUST 31 YEARS OF AGE, HE IS WHO  I ALLOCATE AS ONE OF THE “WISEMEN” OF 2020 GUIDING US WITH NEW IDEAS AND FLEXIBILITY. 

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ALL OF YOU, DAILY WISDOM WORDS MEMBERS AND FRIENDS, OUR READERS, THEIR COMMENTS, AND A BIGH SHOUT OUT TO THE WRITING COMMUNITY ON TWITTER WHO TOOK PART IN OUR DAILY WRITERS PROMPTS.  HERE IS TO A BRIGHTER 2021! MAY THE LIGHT WE DID NOT SEE THIS YEAR, SHINE BRIGHTLY IN 2021.  IN THE DARKEST HOURS OF THIS PAST YEAR, I HAVE FOUND WHEN IT IS SO VERY DARK AND SAD, THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE MY TEAM AT DAILY WISDOM WORDS, LLC AND OUR MEMBERS WHO MANAGE TO ILLUMINATE THE DAY WITH THEIR OWN LIGHT WHICH SHINES BRIGHTLY.  GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND MAY DAILY WISDOM WORDS, LLC BE A VEHICLE TO POSITIVE GROWTH AND CHANGE FOR ALL OF ITS MEMBERS, READERS AND FRIENDS.  VIRTUAL “LOVE” GOES TO ALL OF YOU!

The view

by: Sarah

Some see a road
I see a view
Opertunaties ahead
Reaching for tomorrow through clouds
For every mountain climbed
Lessons were learned
Leaving memory stones as messages to the one’s I won’t return

Music Prompt- Show Me How

I am currently trying to seal a deal with a Nigerian author who wants to publish on Amazon. From our chat, it shows that he indecisive because i presented him with two options: publish it or show you how to publish. I am yet to hear from him.

I know you know what i am talking about. The question is would you love someone to do something for you or show you how to do it? I am Abuh Monday Eneojo. Welcome to Daily Wisdom Words Music Prompt. I will be your host.

Enabled addiction

by: Sarah

Come follow me
Take my hand on a journey through bitter sand

Swallowed whole from my own hand
Sink or swim
I pull other’s in

A journey we take to find escape
Finding escape within our fate
As the story plays
Our journey fades

Picture Prompt- Human and Shadows

Have you ever seen a man or woman without a shadow? Some people will arguably tell you yes but is it naturally true for someone not to possess or own shadow?

I have been made to believe that one’s shadow has something to do with the supernatural. Hence, a man who’s shadowless is either soulless or dead.

There are many wonders of nature especially that which is related to man. The awesome science behind a man’s shadow is amazing. One thing that sweeps me off my feet is that it takes just a considerable amount of light and darkness to cast a shadow.

Join this awe. Let us ride on a chariot of imagination with our words as propellers. I am Abuh Monday Eneojo. Welcome to Daily Wisdom Words Picture Writing Exercise.

Peace in tears of pain

by: Sarah

Momma why aren’t you happy…

I made you breakfast cleaned my room.

Still you, yell your anger shows as I’m thrown from room to room.

I wait to cry, I hold it in
I’ve learned real well to harbor sound.

I love you so
I always will
Momma you try
Through high eyes

I pray for you
Not for me
I pray you become happy
Find peace to whatever makes such misery.

Hopefully love finds way
In tears of pain.

Music Prompt-Cheers To The Fall

Cheers to the fall by Andra Day

We all may totally abhor falling in any area of concern. Most times we fail to realize the intricacies of falling which may be as a result of one flaw or another. This is all i have to say to you:

Falling may be abhorred. If you don’t feel it you’ll never taste true victory.

Humbled

by: Sarah

I want to know how many have really sat down and shook the hand of death…

How many have lived to tell the tale of life and be greatful…

You see all these people each day with different perspectives; so many think they have life all figured out.
Only to one day be knocked back down to size.
It was through each person in my life every drill every test that I failed I learned to be most successful and greatful.

Foolish game

by: Sarah

I fell in love with the devil himself…
After dancing with every demon there was;
he waltzed me off my feet into flames I couldn’t escape…
As hard as it was to grip what little reality or sanity was there, I couldn’t…
I craved the fire he brought with his madness.
He burned me forever.
For that reason I wanted to die.
As much as I would like to put blame on him I could have helped myself;
I can’t hold him fully responsible.
We are both to blame in love and hates foolish game.

Journeys

by: Sarah

So determined to life’s challenges
Testing boundaries, rules and patience as well as learning yes and no.

Teaching ABC’s and 123’s
Endless nights of sleep
As you crawl up next to me

My heart inside knowing all too well, this moment I must keep.
Precious still as you sleep

To keep you forever would be my way.
Growing up is nature’s way.
As I teach you, you teach me.
We are part of each other
In this journey.

Mamma

by: Sarah

Tiny fingers, little toes
Playing dress up in all her clothes

From feeling shoes
Laughter, hardships momma arm’s always soothe

Her every test not always best
Life faired her well
Only she failed too tell

What’s left behind
But, a little mind
Full of mommas signs

One last fight

by: Sarah

One last fight
Before I go
I’ve battled a world
Of mountains streets
And stones
Sickness and shame
I hold myself high day after day
Smiling throughout pain
As I bandage myself
For the observations of yesterday
Waiting tomorrow’s sorrows departure
As I teach of battles without a partner
Alone you can
Alone you will
Tired as I am
There is still a fight in me
A spirit no one can take away from me

The broken shall rise after the fall

by: Sarah

Had you picked a weed for me
My sadness would have lifted
If only time had meant more than seconds
Happiness may have been treasured

Instead you chose derailment
Playing my heart
Until each string had finally
Severed

Tattered and worn
I rise
Teaching the broken shall rise after the fall
