Your role...


Hello, my loves...

Have you stopped to acknowledge your story and the significant role that you play in this big puzzle called life? I am currently in Brazil and I've been watching this reality show called Big Brother Brasil (BBB). It's currently the country's biggest phenomenon, and I couldn't help it, I got into the groove.

The show is about a group of individuals, referred to as housemates, who live together round-the-clock in the "Big Brother" house. They're completely isolated from the outside world, including newspapers, phones, TV, and the internet. Cameras record their every move 24/7, leaving them with no privacy for three months. These housemates compete against each other to avoid eviction every week. The last remaining housemate at the end of the season is declared the winner and takes home the grand prize.

This is their last week, and only three housemates are left, so the temperatures are high both for them and for us who are watching and want our favorites to win. As I was watching the show last night, my ancestors spoke to me and said:

"We, just like those rooting for those players, have been doing the same for you. We have also placed people in your life who have been instrumental in your growth and many times have served as support and made sure that you didn't check out before the game of your life was complete."

I cried! Actually, I boo-hoo cried...so many tears rolled down my cheeks, and I was filled with so much gratitude. I wanted to share this with you so that you can take a moment to reflect on how far you've come. You have people in your corner, both in the physical and non-physical realms, who are not only rooting for you but also waiting for you with love when you complete your 'game' of life.

Stay the course!

In love and gratitude, Raphaella.

In this episode, I talk about how certain time periods, levels of understanding, and cultural changes alter the idea of an absolute truth...

Prayer DOES NOT change things. ...it removes obstacles, guides, sustains, and connects. Everything that belongs to you is already yours. Just as in the garden, the resources were available before Adam and Eve’s arrival—EVERYTHING! So, what is the need for prayer if we know that all of our desires, when aligned with our purpose, are certain to come to pass? Check out my latest podcast episode, "Prayer DOES NOT Change Things," where I discuss how prayer can help bring clarity and certainty to...

Have you Heard of Complicated Grief? I hadn’t! Until I realized I was experiencing it. Complicated grief is a prolonged lasting reaction to loss. Situations where people cannot get over the fact that someone is gone or they keep relieving the occurrence of the loss. Those who are experiencing complicated grief often feel stuck in a particular emotion and they can see to move past it. Most times the loss was either traumatic, sudden death suicide, or lack of closure from a relationship....

Turning Disappointments into Possibilities - A Workshop Hello Dear Ones, When was the last time you felt disappointed because something didn’t work out as you intended?
