Versailles: The Life and Times of Queen Khira

Does anyone else wonder what happens when we sleep?  I have always been fascinated with the dream state, and its connection to our conscious lives.  We know that we dream; but what exactly is a dream?  My brain is so full throughout the day; constantly unfolding and rearranging thoughts every second of the day; therefore its hard to fathom that sleep is a mundane as to ONLY be providing rest to the body and mind...There has to be more to this process, and here are my thoughts on exactly what that is... Dream interpretation has long been a topic of discussion amongst the masses; since the beginning of time.  People have unceasingly sought council to determine what our subconscious mind is trying to say.  One thing can certainly be agreed upon, I DO think it is a means of communication with our higher selves.  Like meditation, it is a safe place to meet, and align our mental with our spiritual state.  The difference is, in a meditative s...

From the start, I have been lowkey enamored with the concept of Youtube.  Its absolutely fantastic to have a FREE platform accessible from any corner of the world to display your own brand of creativity.  The audience being able to connect directly to the creator and express their thoughts is nothing short of genius.  I have watched, over the years, many channels grow, expand, and eventually leave the platform to pursue life goals; All made possible from the comfort of their own homes.  I would like to think as a loyal subscriber, that I was an intricate part of the process.  With that being said, I have a few things to say about what I want to see from YouTubers in 2019 and beyond... First, I LOVE the idea of audience participation, and asking for our opinions.  HOWEVER, if I am forced to watch 1 more video where "adoring" fans make a fool out of you, I think i just may give up on YOU all together.  Don't you get enough of being played by ...

When I sit and think about all the times in a day when my answer to a request is "yes"; then cross-reference that with how many times I am saying that to myself , the statistics are drastically one sided...why is this?  For me to be the ultimate expert on all things Queen Khira, you would think that I would no doubt know exactly what she NEEDS ; so why are you denying yourself the power of " YES "?!  My answer in short, I thought that by fulfilling the needs of those around me, it would ensure my peace of mind, and their happiness would vicariously be my own.  This was a thought process that served me well; until it didn't...I slowly but surely became resentful, and started to feel like a servant, and nothing more.  I needed to figure out quick fast and in a hurry what the problem was, and FIX it IMMEDIATELY .   It is never a good thing, regardless of how must you love someone, to give everything you have and reserve nothing for yourself....

This Moment, the one happening right now, is ALL that there is.  Allow me to explain... Yes, there is a past, things that have already happened.  What must be understood about these events is, once they happen, they are OVER.  It's gone.  If it is any point in time that you are not actively engaged in, that point does not currently exist.  The principle is also works on the inverse; anything that has yet to occur, has yet to come into existence , and should have absolutely NO bearing on what is currently happening to you. Our past is a experienced-based tool from which to learn and grow FORWARD.  It is not meant to trap us or the people in our lives, preventing our best lives from being brought to fruition.  If there is something behind you, LET IT GO.  Grasp the lesson and understand that there is no going back.  On the same note, we must also do the same when it comes to anticipation of events yet to come.  Being wrapped...

Let's be clear, the YOU I am referring to is the REAL you, your ESSENCE...What has you done lately to feed your SOUL?? Go ahead and ponder, I'll wait... As the most important part of who we are, what really makes us the people we are, it would stand to reason that we would focus ample time and attention towards its continued peace and happiness.  Sometimes we lose sight of the fact that we are spiritual beings having a physical experience, not the other way around.  The way we engage with the world reflects this key point.   It is your mortal obligation to properly excite and illuminate the soul.  It is your only purpose.  "Well, how do we know if its what my soul wants to do?!"  Oh trust me, YOU WILL KNOW!  Do you remember how it felt the first time you heard your favorite song?  That's the feeling you will experience every time you are doing something your soul would love.  It's a feeling you could get ADDICTED to....

Existing in a world where codependency is the norm, it comes as no surprise to me that we are never directed to first look within ourselves for the answers to some of life's biggest challenges and unanswered questions.  As a consumer in a capitalistic society, we are hardwired to seek solace in the comfort of others, retail therapy, or some other unnecessary over indulgence in an attempt to forget.  The funny thing is, these things are simply designed as a means to forget, not at all associated with the actual healing process,  which is essential to you being able to move on. People and vices are not answers, nor are they feelings.   What we are attempting to come to terms with in ANY situation, are the feelings behind it, and how they affect us.  There isn't another living soul on the planet with more experience on the subject of your feelings than YOU.  So why are we so quick to seek out the opinions of others on a subject it is impossible for th...

The  Universe  is all of space and time and their contents, including planets, stars, galaxies, and all other forms of matter and energy. While the spatial size of the entire  Universe  is still unknown, it is possible to measure the observable  universe . So with that being said, and you knowing that the ENTIRE Universe exists within us, why are you still focused on all the things you CAN'T do??👀 There is no such thing as "easing" your way into destiny, you were meant to jump in head first.  Even if you have no idea of where you want to go or what you want to do, just move in the direction your passions take you.  Your heart most certainly knows the way.  The most important thing is to MAKE A MOVE.   Dreams are specific to an individual for a reason, because they belong to YOU !    There isn't another soul in existence who is responsible for bringing your dreams to life.  As a matter of fact it's ...

So we jumping in head first today!!!  Like we discussed in "You Only Owe Yourself" https://myflylifeatversailles.blogspot.com/2018/09/you-only-owe-yourself.html ,  the center of this Universe is YOU.  Its no coincidence that Universe begins with "U"!  There is absolutely NO ONE you owe an apology to before yourself.  We are our own worst enemies.  The amount of psychological pain we inflict on ourselves is staggering.  We actively engage in this mental terrorist attack by refusing to let go of people, situations, and events that no longer serve us.  As human beings, there is not one one among us, "No, Not One!  NO NOOT O-ONE!!" who has not done something they regret.  What sets us apart from those who are able to thrive is the ability to leave that disappointment where it belongs, in the past. Your experiences are simply visualization tools in your learning process.  Utilize them for what they are, learn everything you ...

When it comes to love and relationships, I find the most frequently asked question is, “how do you make it LAST?!”  I always find this to be a particularly strange question, ESPECIALLY if you and your partner have been together for a significant amount of time.  You SHOULD know that person better than anyone else, and hold all the keys for success in that particular relationship.  Asking someone else how to keep your stuff together is like asking someone else to explain what you are feeling: ridiculous and damn near impossible. First and Foremost, I DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT give relationship advice, nor do I insert myself into anybody’s personal situation, even when asked.  The reason being, whatever decisions you are arriving at concerning your mate are COMPLETELY yours to make, and whatever you decide will be YOUR life choice.  I want to be completely free from any repercussion that could potentially occur; you will NOT be blaming me for your poor decision mak...

Live and Let Live.  It’s such a basic and simple concept, and living thus has boundless potential.  It’s just sooo unfortunate that our Egos flat out refuse to accept it. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why we as humans feel we have the right to add context and commentary to things that do not effect us in any way.  The way I feel about myself and the things I choose to do is MY BUSINESS.  Your thoughts and opinions of me and how I choose to live my life is soooo totally irrelevant to me that I pity you for the waste of energy. While in the process of getting your ENTIRE life, you DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT have time to be concerned with what others think of your eternal light and how you choose to express it.  On that same note, you have relinquished this right when it comes to others.   Yo, mind your business, and worry about your BI.   If there is something that you feel you simply MUST express to another individual about the way they move, t...

With an entire world to explore with ENDLESS possibilities, it’s about time we started to explore them, and each opportunity open to us.  Our minds are boundless, chomping at the bit to be taken places we never could have imagined... So how to we let go of reservations and take flight?! It all starts with knowing who you ARE and EXACTLY what it is you WANT.  Meditate on this concept, and continue to do so until you find the answer.  Once that concept is CRYSTAL clear, you can start pursuing those ideals.   Until these things are realized, take it one day at a time, one task at a time.  Eat what makes you feel good.  Wear the clothes that make you feel like a Star.  Take a few moments each night to envision the day you want to have and put those things into action; Start each day the way YOU want to. Intention prompts Action.  We constantly disappoint ourselves by simply not completing tasks we had our heart set on doing. ...

"All I do is WIN WIN WIN NO MATTER WHAT!!!!"  Yes!!! This is my new mantra!!  I'm sorry, but I just CANNOT stop smiling!!  I'm hoping that happiness is overly contagious for the rest of my life.  How great would it be for everyone you come in contact with to become infected with your JOY?! Oh wait, that is POSSIBLE!!! Smiling from the inside out is a concept I came up with to show just how possible it is to throw a little of your happiness over to the next man... Think about how your favorite song made you FEEL the first time you heard it.  Stay inside that feeling for a few minutes.  Now, think about how you felt when you learned all the words...Take that and let it spread all over your body, filling your heart with that original JOY. You got it?  Can You feel it?  Are you sparkling yet?!  You are? Ok perfect.   Now it’s time to take your show on the road... Let that song play over and over again as you go through your...

When we were kids, friendship was so simple.  If I gave you a bracelet, then it was ON; we were practically siblings from that point foward!!  If only it was still so cut and dry... Oh Wait, IT IS!!! Since starting my journey, I have noticed myself becoming agitated with friends and acquaintances I previously didn’t feel this  way about.  The source of my aggravation came from a place that was feeling like I was a much better friend and source of support to others than they are to me.  I was angry because I still have that childlike view of friendship, that I get what I GIVE.  Because I wasn’t feeling that reciprocation, I became imbittered, and started putting stipulations and regulations on myself and the level of friendship I would give out. This of course is TOTALLY INSANE.   What I decided to do after much back and forth with my higher self was to redefime the friendships/relationships in my life.  Just because you and I are friendly and acq...

Sometimes I'm so good, I impress myself!!  This is actually something I wrote for Nouveau, my makeup blog, but after writing it, I realized the readers of Versailles could definitely benefit and appreciate this as well;-) Makeup is one of those things in life that is meant to improve our perception of reality.  Makeup in and of itself does nothing to enrich the individual on a spiritual level, however, because of the effect it has on what we perceive as REAL, and has the capability to improve what you see and how you are seen each day when you open your eyes, it holds unspeakable power.  I'm using this to my advantage, because, no person is complete if there are things inside that make us feel less than desirable.  This post won't contain any beauty hacks or products to try, it's going to offer TRUE PERSPECTIVE, it's makeup for the inside... Let's Begin... What have you done today to make you smile?  Take the time to hand craft your day.  Wha...

There are some things in life you will NOT be able to take with you as you ascend to ultimate greatness, this includes PEOPLE.  Take a look at that image.  Its a full heart, but its filled with things that are important to YOU.  Its filled to the brim with your wonderful; are you really going to attempt to squeeze something that holds little meaning for you to fit, and compromise what matters? Listen, you no longer have time for foolishness and games.  Let's be PERFECTLY clear, we are speaking about ALL relationships, not just romantic ones.  EVERY relationship and interaction from here on out needs to be meaningful.  Why are you wasting time and energy on irrelevant things and people?  Relationships are to be reciprocal.  If both individuals are NOT receiving what they need, and its apparent that you are NEVER going to get and/or give what is needed for it to work, LET IT GO. There is nothing more painful than deception.  Unless you ar...

Sooo, I think we have taken this whole concept of "Master of Our Universe", and "Co-Creator" concepts a tad too far.  What I mean by this is allowing our Ego to foolishly assume that it is "helping" the universe do exactly what the Universe has always done; UNFOLD.. What needs to be understood is that yes, there are certain aspects of reality that we control.  These are where our Master/Co-Creator comes in.  We are able to manipulate and change things that effect us, but make no mistake, WHATEVER will still HAPPEN, even if you choose not to react and/or interact at all. Our job in this lifetime is to EXPERIENCE.  Our ability to create is limited by this concept.  What we are able to do all plays into what it is we are doing, and making the most of that experience, whether it be good or bad.  A perfect example is going to the movies.  Granted, you didn't create cinematography, better yet, you haven't shot a single movie scene in your entire ...

See, if I had sky like this to meditate under each day at dusk, I'd be running outside READY to kiss the sky!!lol  That sky is seriously gorgeous and instantly centering me just looking a it!  Today's post is just a quick come thru to put you guys up on a guided meditation I have recently become OBSESSED with.   The video is linked below via YouTube, and I CANNOT sing its praises loud enough.  It has the perfect balance of relaxation and visualization, taking me EXACTLY where I need to be everytime.  I look forward to this guided meditation each time I have it on the agenda for the day.  I use this to reconnect when I feel like I'm just out here flailing around and need to ground myself.       Something that this mediation had me thinking about that I don't think ever crossed my mind prior to this was what imagining what my higher self actually LOOKS like.  I don't recall ever thinking of this before. ...

Yo, MY PEACE is worth fighting for.  with that being said, we are at WAR.  There will be enemies, there will be allies, and most importantly, there will be CASUALTIES.   Your enemies will be those who have absolutely no interest in a peaceful existence, and could give 2 shits about preserving yours.  Your allies will be the like minded individuals who are currently on their own personal journey, constantly striving to be their best versions.   Now your casualties, hehehe, is where it starts to get complicated, and your feelings start to become involved.  Your casualties will be the individuals that you actually thought had potential.  They will usually be the ones we fought the hardest against our own better judgement to save.  These fatalities will be painful to our psyche, because, sometimes we have to let go of someone that MATTERS.  The most painful part is coming to that realization.  ...

Ok, it's time for another PSA.  Because I haven't gone through a breakup in over a decade, I guess I kinda fell out of the loop as far as what "games" are currently being played, and was left off the mailing list to receive the newsletter containing all updates to the rules involved. When I first realized this, I was like, "Ok word, I've graduated to a new level of grown, the kids don't want to play with me anymore!" Well folks, even if this is a phase in your life that you have moved past, apparently you have to stay abreast for the people in your life that haven't... Breakups, especially ones with a TRUE bond, are never easy.  It's heartbreaking all around, even if you are not the one being dumped.  It causes strain not only on the relationship at hand, but those in close proximity as well.  Its sooo easy to dish out advice that says to run the streets and do whatever it takes to keep your mind off the situation.  We, as the outside ...
