Honor Time: A Call to Intentional Living

Time is one of the most precious gifts we have—and yet, it’s often the one we take for granted. We get caught up in the grind: working endlessly, chasing material things, and letting days slip by without truly connecting with the people who matter most.

What Really Matters

Life isn’t about possessions. It’s about presence. It’s about being intentional with our friends, our loved ones, and ourselves. The truth is, tomorrow isn’t promised. And when someone is gone, you can’t go back and fix what was broken. That’s why healing, forgiveness, and meaningful connection are so vital.

Boundaries vs. Bitterness

This isn’t about tolerating disrespect or putting yourself in harm’s way. Boundaries are sacred. But sometimes, the walls we build are made of ego, miscommunication, and pain we’ve held onto for too long. We remember how we felt, but not why. And that pain? It limits us. It steals joy from the moments we could be living fully.

Choose Healing

Take the time to heal. Let go of grudges that no longer serve you. Choose peace over pettiness. Choose love over pride. And choose a daily “diet” that feeds your soul—one free of negativity, pessimism, and drama. Nourish your mind, body, and spirit with things that uplift and inspire.

In the end, God isn’t counting your degrees or your designer labels. He’s looking at your heart. So live with intention. Love deeply. And honor the time you’ve been given.~micaiah

Every Day: A Gift Wrapped in Gratitude

Every single day is a precious gift. It’s so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle, the to-do lists, and the endless stream of notifications. We often rush through our mornings, power through our afternoons, and collapse into our evenings, barely noticing the moments that make up our lives. But when we take a moment to truly appreciate the present, everything shifts.


Think about it: just waking up is a blessing. The sunrise, a fresh cup of coffee, the sound of birds, or even the quiet hum of your home – these are all tiny miracles we often overlook. Each breath, each interaction, each opportunity to learn or grow is a unique, unrepeatable moment.

The Power of Gratitude
Practicing gratitude isn’t just about feeling good in the moment; it’s about opening ourselves up to even more blessings and happiness. It’s a fundamental principle, an energetic exchange. When we acknowledge the good, no matter how small, we create space for more of it to enter our lives.


Imagine your life as a garden. If you focus only on the weeds and what’s going wrong, your garden will reflect that. But if you nurture the beautiful flowers, appreciate the growth, and give thanks for the harvest, your garden will flourish. Gratitude works in much the same way. It shifts your focus from scarcity to abundance, from what’s lacking to what’s present. This positive shift in perspective doesn’t just make you feel better; it genuinely attracts more positive experiences and people into your orbit.


Making Room for More
When you regularly practice gratitude, you start to notice things you might have previously missed. You appreciate the kindness of a stranger, the warmth of a sunny day, the comfort of your home, or the support of your loved ones. This heightened awareness of the good things in your life naturally leads to more joy and contentment. It’s like clearing out clutter to make room for something new and wonderful.


The beautiful paradox is that the more grateful you are for what you have, the more reasons you’ll find to be grateful. It’s a cycle of positivity that compounds over time, leading to a profound sense of peace and fulfillment.


Your Daily Practice
So, how can you weave more gratitude into your everyday life? It doesn’t have to be a grand gesture. Start small:

  • Keep a gratitude journal: Jot down three things you’re grateful for each day.
  • Say thank you often: Express appreciation to the people around you.
  • Mindful moments: Take a few seconds throughout your day to consciously appreciate something simple – the taste of your food, the comfort of your chair, the sound of music.
  • Reflect before bed: Before you drift off, think about the good things that happened during the day.

Every day truly is a gift. Let’s unwrap it with an open heart and a grateful spirit.~micaiah

Embrace Your Own Truth


Life often feels less like a smooth path and more like a winding, sometimes treacherous, journey.

We’ve all been there—stumbling, our vision blurred by past hurts and present uncertainties. It’s easy to get knocked off course, to let our dreams gather dust, and to lose focus in the face of what feels like “foolishness and hocus pocus.”


My poem, “My own truth,” beautifully captures this struggle:

My Own Truth

Walking, no, more like stumbling through life
Vision blurred by all that’s occurred
Not staying on course has my dreams deferred
Allowed myself to lose focus
Due to foolishness and hocus pocus
Let comparison rob me of objectivity
had me forgetting about the blessings just for me
Doubt had me believing delayed had turned into denied
Had me trusting in worry and anxieties lies
Had to get regrounded and regroup
Had to familiarize myself again with my own truth
Had to remind myself of whose child I was
And that my gifts are truly a blessing from above
There is no timeframe or race
Just continue on and keep the pace
With renewed faith, my vision cleared
And once again I’m ready to tackle all I once feared.~MY


It’s a powerful reminder that comparison can be a thief of joy, blinding us to the unique blessings tailor-made just for us. Doubt can whisper lies, convincing us that delays are denials, and pulling us into the trap of worry and anxiety.


But the poem also offers the profound solution: we must reground and regroup, and most importantly, familiarize ourselves again with our own truth.

This means remembering our inherent worth, acknowledging the unique gifts that are truly blessings, and understanding that our journey isn’t a race against anyone else.


With renewed faith, our vision clears, and we find the courage to confront the very things we once feared.

So, if you’re feeling lost or off-kilter, take a moment to reflect. What is your truth? What blessings have you overlooked? And what fears are you ready to conquer with newfound clarity?
Embrace your journey, trust your pace, and let your own truth light your way.

In the Spirit of Maturity

In 2022 and beyond, what we’re not going to do is waste time explaining the things that should be apparent. Like being mature after a certain age, treating people how you want to be treated and common courtesy even in the midst of differing opinions.

If you are grown, let’s spend more time acting grown, than we do announcing it. Let’s perfect the art of minding our own business versus mindless gossip. I don’t know about the next person, but between tending to my child, work and elderly loved ones I could care less what the next person is doing. And since I waited so late in life to have a child, forget keeping up with the Jones’s I need to keep up with her. Let’s just say, that’s no small feat with these bad knees, lol.

Why can’t we, as grown adults, find real joy in the happiness and victories of others versus feeling jealous and insecure in our own short comings. People need to understand that timing is everything and what looks like an easy win, may have come on the tail end of hardship, sacrifice and struggles. And that just because someone else’s success manifested itself first, doesn’t mean yours isn’t still coming. Don’t block your blessings harboring negative feelings.

Being grown isn’t just an age range it’s a state of mind and being. It should be a time full of introspection and peace. Time to realize or finalize plans and dreams. We should be well beyond petty disagreements and the inability to communicate respectfully. We should be well versed in agreeing to disagree without falling out and playing the victim.

I refuse to waste time and energy on people that refuse to act their age. I’m not explaining things to people that are far beyond the age and have the mental capacity to understand. I will not carry the burden of other people’s immaturity and selfishness. If they love drama and chaos leave them in a cage or on the stage, because life is short and grown ups have better things to do with their time and energy, or at least they should.

I also fully understand that some people often grow old, but never grow up, but they need to take that Peter Pan mentality and stay far away from those of us that have relinquished our lives as caterpillars and are flying on the wings of our lives as butterflies. If you can’t fly with us, do us the favor and move out our way.

Let’s spend our time investing in ourselves and in those that invest in you. Live your best life and encourage those around you to do the same. Lifting up others is a sure fire way to elevate yourself. You won’t have to announce you’re grown if your actions speak for you. So, protect your peace, sage your life of negativity and float into your best years.
