Versailles: The Life and Times of Queen Khira

I have been feeling like a caterpillar for quite some time now...knowing that my life and experiences are necessary for the transformation ahead, yet I can't help yearning to feel my wings glowing in the sun!  I found a chart on pinterest, that broke down the different steps to spiritual awakening into 7 separate stages: Stage 1:  Unhappiness and Emptiness Stage 2:  Perception Shifts Stage 3:  Seeking Answers and Meaning  Stage 4:  Finding Answers and Experiencing Breakthroughs Stage 5;  Disillusionment and Feeling Lost Stage 6:  Deeper Inner Work Stage 7:  Integration, Expansion, Joy This was incredibly helpful in me figuring out exactly where I was in my journey; it also helped to appease my impatience by offering an explanation as to what's going on inside of me... According to this, I have left stage 5, that of "Disillusionment and Feeling Lost", and am now fully immersed in stage 6, my :Deeper Inner Work"...

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....

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...

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 ...

Life has been something special lately!  After a year filled with the moon showing out like it hasn't for centuries, it's amazing that any goddesses are left standing!👏  It's literally felt like all the craziness of the outside world decided to pay me a visit over the past several weeks and wreak havoc on every peaceful crevice I used to rely on for refuge.   What do we do on those days when it feels like the universe has turned its back on us? During what appeared to be a full on Tempest of BS, I needed a quiet.  I desperately needed to retreat to my Mind Palace and analyze this sh💥t storm piece by piece.  I started to pay attention to everything that was going on around me, particularly what was happening to the people in my everyday life.  EVERYONE was going THROUGH IT. When I took that much needed step back, I was able to discern what I was doing.  Instead of me focusing on the here and now, I was obsessing over hypothetic...

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...

For My Aunt Dianne I NEED YOU TO SURVIVE... With that being said, lets get down to business!!  "No man is an island"; well certainly NOT.  In addition to needing human interaction, we also have things we simply NEED just to be comfortable in our own skin.  STOP acting like this does not apply to YOU!!! I want you to stop for a second and think of the last thing you did for yourself just for the pure pleasure of it?!  I'll Wait...While evolving, understand that you are more human than ever before.  Your desires will not disappear, but evolve WITH you, becoming more pure, and more focused on the things you truly desire.  Your biggest mistake would be to DENY yourself what it is you really want in this life.  It may seem of little consequence that you drank a Sierra Mist as opposed to the 7UP you were craving, but we are now aware that the Micro is a direct mirror of what is happening on the Macro level in life, and is desperate to get your ...

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 ...

At this point in my life, people should cease to amaze me.  People are fairly simple creatures who stick to the basically the same habits and routine, whether it's relationships or food.  If I was to stick to this philosophy, I think I would be alot better off.  Its when I put too much hope and HUMANITY in them that I am disappointed. I am declaring here and now that I am over and done with assumptions.  Giving people too much credit for common sense.  Its a personal setup when you hold people to the expectation YOU set in place for them.  We expect them to meet this certain set of criteria we have set in our minds, and then are SOOOO upset when they don't live up to them.                                                  The fact that we feel like people are to behave according to whatever preconceived notion we formulat...

"So when is the evolution over, like, when am I done with the process?  Am I finished, or am I done?!"  Well, the question was asked AND answered.  If that is a question that has been plaguing you, its OBVIOUS you are still undergoing transformation... When have you ever achieved a goal unbeknownst to you?  Its almost impossible to arrive at a destination and be completely unaware.  With this being said, when you have completed your journey, then YOU WILL KNOW.  Its not a secret.  In the meantime, your job is to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. You mean DO NOTHING?! Absolutely.  Sometimes the hardest thing in the world is being present and completely content with who you are in that particular moment in time.  Observe where you are right now and evaluate your journey this far.  Appreciate your growth and current situation, no matter what it may be because it is, in some way, apart of what's happening to you.  C...
