April 4th, 2015: He is Risen

In this 17th episode we visit Easter, 10 years ago.  Recorded on Easter 2025, we visit Easter 2015 for this episode.  For me, Easter is my spiritual new year, and this entry was on point for what I am feeling and experiencing right now. There have been so many wonderful things for me in this season, I've been able to do so much for my art over the past few weeks and it has been pure joy!  I just wrapped up a couple performances last week, I have one this week which is so cool that I wrote and recorded voice for and I'll be in-person to watch it on the big screen and the jumbotron at the Kohl Center, and I am rehearsing for 4 upcoming shows and I'm MC'ing an event next Saturday.  All great things, all God things and all on my right path.  I am being bold, and obeying God is this season and letting go of the things and habits that no longer serve me.  I am living my best life, and this is definitely my spiritual New Year season!  Key themes from reflection on this entry: ·       Spiritual New Year's.  ·        The other foot doesn't drop, it steps up! God's plan! ·        It's not too late!  Who taught you/told you that? God's timing, not yours.  ·       First Only Different (FOD) Word to Shonda Rhymes ·       The importance of dreams and taking the time to find meaning. ·       Don't give 'em too much! ·       Enjoying the journey is the fastest way to your destination. ·       Stop caring about what you think other people are thinking about you. . . what other people think of you is none of your business.  ·       Easter, cross over!   Queens sometimes need a refresh and a reset.  It's how we stay regal and stay royal. -        What are you doing to renew in this season? -        What cross are you carrying that needs to be over?   Author, poet, spoken word artist and emcee Opal Ellyse has been keeping handwritten journals since 1995.  Each week she shares an entry and ties it to current events and relevant topics of conversation.  Royalty is living in your legacy while you're still here.  Understanding your past and bridging it to the present (and future) is a gift.  Join Opal as she shares wisdom from the past as it becomes present day epiphany and a blueprint for all that is next.  Enjoy! www.opalellyse.com Music: DJ Pain 1
