“You are a living epistle. The world around you is watching how you live, how you love, how you handle loved ones and treat strangers; how you reveal the Greater One in you in faith and failure. Your life is preaching to someone--young, old, black, white, rich or common. You are a walking scripture. Watch the unspoken words you convey. For the watchers, the readers; they are concluding. They are believing or doubting--based on you!”
― Emmanuella Raphaelle

“I am to be loved, honored and respected solely because I exist. I am to be cherished, spoiled, celebrated because I Am! I was made to be admired.
I am a beloved child of God after all.”
― Emmanuella Raphaelle, After the Affair: Re-Membering

“It's Never Too Late…to Celebrate Yourself.

Everything you’ve done deserves your favorable awareness.
Be it your relationships, your successes and your triumphant failures. They all led you here.
Today, pause to recognize and celebrate the big things and little things.
You accomplished them.
Turn your attention inward and cheer for the things you have yet to bring forth. Accept them as done.
Celebrate all that you are made of and who you are becoming.
You are worth it.”
― Emmanuella Raphaelle

“Today I decide to let go.
I let go of my grasp on people, things, thoughts, feelings, expectations and outcomes. And though I acknowledge my desires, I acknowledge I do not control anything. Letting go activates my faith and allows God to send what is meant for me. Letting go helps me because holding on does not. Holding on will not change the situation, the person, the problem or the thing. But letting go sets me free to accept that life is just as it is meant to be. An experience full of open spaces for new outcomes, new opportunities and new possibilities.”
