Voicing My Soul’s Language

February 16th, 2021

She was speaking, but, I couldn’t understand. He was saying something, but, nothing translated. It wasn’t just the words I couldn’t understand, it was the energy behind those words. Vibrations, energies and frequencies are languages, and I speak the vibration of my soul.

They can try to get to me, they can force themselves upon me, but, the voice of my soul is strong and knowing; if you’re a match then I’ll hear you. Words are magical, vibration is eternal and effortless. Like waves they come and go; their tide can turn at any moment.

You could be a language I speak right now, or you could be a distant holler. You could be a faint whisper, or you could be a voice I understand like the breath of my being. You could be a chorus I’ll forever understand for you are my destiny. You can be whatever, I will always be authentically me, a language that deepens over time.

We are all our own language. I don’t speak your language, I speak mine. But, if you know me and are meant to be, I’ll definitely hear you. Your voice doesn’t have to be words, it can be a vibration, an aura, an intuition, a heart, a mind, a soul or anything electric and truly alive.

My voice is always hungry for those who speak it too, however, my internal compass is always honest. I know if you see me, or if you just act. I know if you are meant on my journey, or if you’re just blurry. This is just my soul’s expression, your opinion is yours, my belief is mine.

My tone is dependent on my heartbeat. What makes me truly alive, lets my soul speak with joy. What I know is a lesson I am meant to learn, lets my soul speak with power. My tone isn’t dependent on your reaction, it’s dependent on my action.

This is a bit different from my usual writing and ironically, I love the voice behind it. I hope this helps you on your journey!! Always remember to listen to your voice because you are the Universe! Other people’s languages will match or detach if they’re meant to, you must trust!!! Be fearless and free -Ace
where am i?

Stars so bright, feel their light pour into my veins
Electricity in the air, the energy is more than alive
Deeply in love with the sun, rock and nature
Overflowed with the charges of this vortex
Never alone here, this is home
A feeling I’ll never forget, reality is my dream

Be fearless and free -Ace
Galaxy

February 13th, 2021

Galaxy’s hold on my breath, soul and spirit is everlasting and effortless. When I say galaxy, I know it’s more than the illusion of the solar system; it’s the infinite Universe.

When I feel galaxy’s touch, the twinkle in my heart lights up and its sparkles illuminate the rest of my being. My soul knows the galaxy like its mother, born from the starlit branches that connect us all together.

The formations of the Universe make up my inside. I’m starting to get to know all the lights, funny enough, each one shines brighter when I tap into it.

Galaxy – I know you stretch far and wide and I think you have many more stories to tell. I thank you for creating a little home inside me. I promise to see you in each being I meet. -Ace
Embrace

February 10th, 2021

Push it down, put it away; it’s all going to go away someday. Sugar coat it so I don’t feel it, why does it matter anyway?

Layers upon layers, I’m starting to unravel this mystery inside that has just begun the travel. That is the travel from my mind, to my heart, to my intuition and then to the rhythm of my soul.

The door is shut, my space is empty. The lights go off and I finally feel at home. Feelings come one by one, floating to the surface like little bubbles gasping for air. Their voices become a scream and a blare, after too much time being unheard, they all need to speak now.

I know they need the air and I run to the walls for support, the feelings are here to help me with their story – I hold onto this thought. Although, thoughts have started to disappear, it’s my gut that’s gotten real loud.

With each feeling, there is a similar connection – embrace. Embrace the change, embrace the ups and downs, embrace my intuition’s voice (feelings/emotion) and embrace life’s light and darkness. Only then can I transform, because vision is one thing, inner-standing is another.

My little mind tries to grab control, as if diving into my feelings isn’t productive. My higher self kicks in and this electricity runs through my body – there is nothing more productive than a conversation with emotion.

As my feelings take the front seat again, I am reminded that there is a difference between acceptance and embracing. Embracing is hugging and appreciating each obstacle, feeling or rocky moment in the most genuine way. Acceptance choosing something as my reality and just living with it. The main difference is simply this – embracing, I create my reality, acceptance, I let my reality happen.

Feelings, I thank you and I hear you. When you come, I am embracing you and listening to you all the way. I am grateful for your kind reminder of my true power, I feel my fire burning. I know you’re always there, and your purpose brings me comfort.

I choose to embrace, because only then can I see my journey’s grace, let go of fear’s chase and remember destiny is mine to ace.

When I sat down to write, I heard a lyric in a song about sugar-coating. And I intended to write something along the lines of that, but this turned out to be something completely different. That’s the beauty of writing, it’s not just your fingers on the keys, it’s your soul’s voice that echoes on the tips of your hands. Be fearless and free -Ace
Timeless

February 7th, 2021

There’s this ocean, it’s different than most. This ocean is a circle and the waves flow round and round until eventually they exit through the abyss. Like a whirlpool, this ocean is deep; the abyss is eternal bliss.

A wave comes, circling and circling until it dives into the abyss, gone forever, no wave like that will ever return. Sure, similar waves will come, but it won’t be exactly the same ever again. When the wave crashes on the ocean floor, it lays to rest and finds it’s peace.

This powerful circle connects to the magic of the Universe while staying grounded in its purpose. It can be smooth, it can be rough; it all depends on the outlook. The sun shines on this ocean, its light fuels the tides. The wild waves leave the sun hidden behind the myst, but the Universe and eternity within this oceanic field, always finds its way back home.

Some days are monotonous and tiring, but most days are bright and loving. No matter what, this circle keeps giving and the sun will always rise.

This ocean has always been my mind, the waves representing my thoughts. When the waves crash on the abyss, I get a moment of clarity, while another wave begins to roar again. The sun, has always been my soul, illuminating the magical and honest thoughts, but, showing me which ones aren’t worth my attention. With this ocean of my mind, and this sun of my soul – life is mine to soar. -Ace
game

February 6th, 2021

I’m coming back to you
Whether you like it or not
I’m done letting this spark rot
You, within, I’m calling your name
Setting aside this game
Starting a new one
Let’s be a team
Like I see in the dream
Our light is starting to gleam
Vulnerability is key
Allowing me to be me
And you to be you
Our past went and flew
Just like that, this game has begun
Our connection didn’t diminish
Will we ever finish?
I think this game will last forever
As long as we stick together
I’ll never surrender
For this Universal chord
Will always keep us in touch with the board

Coloring My Soul

February 5th, 2021

Colors dancing in the wind, some vivid, others blurry. Bright and alive, blue makes me smile bringing back memories of the waves in my journey. Red, so vibrant but reminding me of people who use power in backwards ways. Purple always lets me feel emotion, connecting me to the depths of my intuition. Yellow makes my soul flow with joy and flashes of the grand sun charge me with energy. Green makes me grateful for Gaia and all the trees that hug me daily. Pink calls to my heart, but, my eyes see its hues in the sunsets. Black brings me comfort in knowing all shades are within me, while white brings its clean, classic and elegant aura. I’m sure there are many more I have not yet seen.

All the colors my eyes present bring a peace to my being and a joy to my mind. Sometimes, the simple things make the biggest leaps.

What color speaks to you?
Acing The Kitchen – Out Now!!!

February 1st, 2021

Acing The Kitchen is finally available to you!!! So, basically, it is an album full of cooking videos. Yes, it is 100% vegan! I’ve also been eating sugar free for almost a year now, so all these recipes are sugar free! On occasion, you’ll see me use agave but it’s natural sugar and that is super good for you. I use organic ingredients as much as possible, it’s always better to eat chemical free food! I hope to show you in this virtual cookbook that vegan tastes amazing, and isn’t all salad. And sugar free, doesn’t mean disgusting, it means doing the best thing for your body without skimping on flavor. Cooking has always been a passion of mine, I love the flow and creative zone you get in while cooking! With that being said, I don’t often use measurements. I eyeball a lot of my ingredients and go with my gut, I think it is important to cook with preference of flavor rather than math! When you cook a lot, you kind of know intuitively the “right” amounts; you can always add more but you can’t take away, that’s a good thing to remember if you’re new to cooking. The best part about cooking, is that you always get a finished project. Thought this virtual cookbook, you’ll get many amazing finished projects! So, go check out the videos!! Comment with your thoughts and if you do try making a recipe, I’d love to hear what you think!!

Entree – Cajun Polenta

Polenta has always been a favorite of mine! This is almost like a take on shrimp and grits, but instead with “sausage” and some of my own twists! The sweet lime reduction is so good and really makes the dish! This is a definite crowd pleaser, it serves four and it is a nice, hearty entree!

Side, Lunch or Salad – Crunchy Salad with Homemade Chipotle “Ranch”

This salad is so amazing! The dressing is, oh my god, phenomenal! It’s spicy but still tangy and it pairs perfectly with the crunch of all the vegetables! This salad is great for a fresh side or a satisfying lunch!

Entree – My Signature Dish: Classic Power Bowls

So this recipe, was the first food video I’ve ever made! It’s also the first dish I made when I attempted cooking for the first time. In my family, it is my signature dish. I’ve made many variations of power bowls, but, this is the classic version! It is so good and like, the perfect meal! The tofu has a little kick, the vegetables are tangy and crispy and the tahini ties everything together! I know you’ll love it!

Entree – Bahn Mi Sandwich

This sandwich is amazing! It is juicy, the tofu is flavorful and tender, the pickled veggies add the perfect tang and the aioli brings it all together. You have to try this sandwich!!

Appetizer, Entree or Dessert – Around The World Tapas

This is one of my favorite videos aesthetically, it is such a fun video! I had this random idea to do around the world tapas because I knew it would make a great video, however, I did not realize how hard it would be to make all of this in one day! 😂 I encourage you to try at least one of these recipes, out of all of them, the quesadilla was my favorite!

Snack, Breakfast Or Dessert – Crispy Granola

I’ve been making this granola every 2 weeks for the past 6 months or so. It is so good and an amazing snack, breakfast, dessert or pre/post workout bite! I eat it plain or sometimes with almond milk. It is such an easy recipe that is so addicting!

Side – Mustard Glazed Cauliflower & Chickpeas

This is one of my favorite ways to eat cauliflower, the sweet and tangy flavor of the mustard really elevates both the cauliflower and the chickpeas. This is the perfect side, packed with flavor and literally, addictive, you’ll always want more! Even my brother, who isn’t a cauliflower lover, loved this dish!

Entree or Soup – Red Lentil Stew

This stew is fairly simple to make, but so so delicious and comforting. I served it over white rice, but you can do whatever you like; the rice makes it a bit more filling. The cumin really adds a nice depth of flavor, don’t skimp on it!! This is the perfect winter or rainy day meal, you need to try it!

Side – Easy Lemon Garlic Green Beans

These green beans are SO easy to make, but so refreshing and tasty! There are never any leftovers when it comes to these green beans, they are too good!! It is truly incredible these green beans are for how little effort it takes!

Drink – Whipped Coffee

Calling all coffee lovers!! This is truly amazing! It is so fun to watch the process and it tastes SOOOOOO good!! I promise, once you make it the first time, it will definitely not be your last!!

Entree or Soup – Authentic Ramen

This recipe is so good! This warming bowl of comfort soothes your soul and tastebuds, I absolutely love it!! I personally hate instant ramen and my friend was really upset by this. 😂 So, he convinced me to make my own version of authentic, real ramen. He was super impressed by this recipe and I hope you are too! The broth is key, let it simmer for as long as you can.

Side or Lunch or Salad – Roasted Veggie Salad With Tahini Green Goddess Dressing

This dish is SOOOO amazing!!! I could eat it everyday. This recipe is super flexible, you can use whatever veggies you have on had. The dressing will literally be your new favorite dressing. I’m telling you, it is too good!! This recipe is definitely worth a try, you won’t have any leftovers!

Entree – “Cheesy” Tomato + Basil Pasta

This pasta recipe is fairly simple and so tasty!! The basil really ties everything together. This is a perfect meal for a weeknight treat or a dinner party showstopper!

Entree – “Sausage” + White Bean Cassoulet

This recipe is fairly quick and so delicious! I highly recommend it. I obviously used vegan sausage but you can use whatever you like, you could even omit it and double up on beans instead. It’s fun to change it up and serve it with rice, or polenta, or just by itself! The breadcrumb on this adds the perfect crunch, this is such a complete dish and only 10 ingredients!

Side or Salad – Panzanella Salad

Panzanella Salad is a classic Italian dish that is super underrated. The balsamic adds the perfect acidity, the basil ties everything together, the pop of sweetness from the tomatoes is just wow and the crunchy chunks of bread sops up all the flavor! It’s just a divine side dish you have to try!

Entree or Side or Appetizer – Chickpea Fritters

Chickpea fritters are a family favorite in my house, My brother especially loves them! They’re crispy and tender and the sauce ties everything together. These fritters are fairly easy to make and so addictive, you’ll always want more! I so encourage you to make them, it’s definitely worth it!!!!

Salad or Side or Lunch – Thai Peanut Salad

This salad is amazing, it’s crunchy and hearty, perfect for a meal or a side! The dressing is the best part, creamy and tangy with that salty and spicy kick at the end! To all my salad haters out there, this will forever change your mind about salad!

Thank you so much for watching/reading this cookbook!!! Comment with your thoughts and favorites, I’d so love to hear!! Q&A coming – 2.3.21! Be fearless and free -Ace
my heart’s call

January 30th, 2021

Material things started meaning less
On the days I feel a mess
I go looking for my heart’s call
My thoughts are running down the hall
That I’ve created in my mind
But the key to unlocking the door
Isn’t picking the best clothes
Or anything that costs more
Than my heart’s call
It’s funny because no object
Is more expensive than my heart’s call
I dig for real conversations
And search my soul for new creations
Or I go inside
And ride the wave of emotion
I’ll do anything
As long as I keep my devotion
To my heart’s call
The level of illusion these days is quite tall
But on those tough days
I just need to remember my strength
In many ways
My heart is my compass
Lighting the way through the storm
Presenting its love in any form
My heart
I hear you
Ace

There is a lot I could say about this poem, but I think it really speaks for itself! Much love to you all, be fearless and free -Ace
