Advent.

This Advent season Let us remember the Reason, why our spirits Are filled with joy, hope And peace.

Why people of all ages From every nation, gather

Together in Church for

Mass on bended knees.

This revelation, is the

Holy Spirit inviting us for

The greatest celebration.

The reason why we're called

To sing, is the same reason why

Church bells ring.

It's to glorify Christ!

So let your voices rise in

Rejoice as we await the coming

Of our blessed Lord, Jesus.

Christ, our Saviour and King.

Christmas isn't about presents,

It's about the Greatest gift of all.

The gift that God gave to the world.

It's about the day His most holy

Son was born.

Fruit of the Virgin's womb,

Come to this Earth to save me

And you.

So this Advent season

Let us remember the

Reason, and thank God for

Filling our spirits with joy,

Hope and peace.

Thank You, O Risen One!

Thank You, O Risen One!

For this beautiful day.
For this new beginning,
For letting me start over and
Call upon Your name.

Thank You, O Risen One!
For the wonders of Your love.
For Your unlimited forgiveness,
And for watching over me
From above.

Thank You, O Risen One!
For the sun, sky and clouds.
As well as for every creature,
Whether it flies, swims or walks
On the ground.

Thank You, O Risen One!
For giving me everything
I’ve prayed for, and so much
More.

For reminding me that when
A window closes, You open the
Door.

Thank You, O Risen One!
For providing me always with
Safety, comfort, acceptance and
Warmth.

It is through Your faithfulness,
That I have been re-born.

Thank You, O Risen One!
Glory be to You, O Lord!

Trusting In God.

I tell You my deepest, darkest secrets.
Because You're the only one who keeps them.
When my thoughts keep me up at night,
And the pillow beneath my head is soaked
With my tears, and my eyes have run dry with
How much I've cried.

You wake me from the
Vivid, panic filled night terrors.
You comfort me with Your promise
When you say,

"you're My child.

I'm never going to leave you.
Not after everything you've
Been through. You are safe.
Now and always."

- Alexandra Pierotti.

 

Heart Of Gold.

Some battles I've lost, others I've won.
I keep my head down, and I plough through.
Knowing that my faith is strong, there is
Nothing that I cannot do.

Despite everything that is,
or ever has been, I keep my heart
Golden.

Through the complexity of healing
My heart has grown as big, and with
That, my feelings have become in
Depth, deeper than the ocean.

Though I may stumble, I take
Comfort in knowing my heart is
Preserved in purity.

Even if at times, I may feel
Isolated on the island of insecurity.
Religion my lifejacket, I am never alone.
Prayers are my sustenance,
Keeping me afloat.

- Alexandra Pierotti.

 

Do you ever feel like you're
Completely exhausted all the time?
As if you're doing nothing with
Your life even though you're actually
Doing everything?

Does it ever feel like it doesn't
Matter how much sleep you get at night,
When you wake up the following
Morning you're just as tired as the
Night before?

As if just going through the
Motions just because you're tuned to
The familiarity of the routines that
Are daily life?

You

• Wake up.
• Get dressed.
• Go to work/school.
• Come home again.

Only to repeat the exact same process the next day?

Don't worry, you're not alone.
This is just a bump in the road.

Try to find ways to turn "just another ordinary day...🙄" into
Something as extraordinary as you 🤩!

Re-discover motivation, by searching for ways to boost
Your serotonin and broaden your mindset.

 

Here are some simple, natural remedies to get you feeling exhilarated and revitalized:

1. Take mental notes on what causes you stress (and find ways to distance yourself from it.)
2. Schedule for yourself a screen-free day. 
3. Go for a walk.
4. Spend time with your favourite people.
5. Do something that you love.
6. Strategize, organise and prioritize by writing out a to-do list. 
7. Practice deep breathing.
8. Go on a spontaneous day trip.
9. Speak up! Journal your thoughts or speak to someone about what you're currently experiencing.

Keeper Of My Heart/An Old Couples Love Story & Key To A Happy, Healthy Marriage.

Every word you say,
I tattoo on to my heart.
And no, it's not a phase.
I've been doing it every day,
Since our story begun.

Life is short, but it has
Been good to us.
You're the reason why I
believe in true love.

Though age has played
It's card, when I'm with you
I feel young.

True, the good old days are
Behind us, though we both know
That's because even better ones
Are still to come!

Every time you say my name and
Smile, I fall in love with you all over
Again.

No matter what challenges we may face,
Know that we will face them together.
Always.

Because you are my everything, 
You are the key to my happiness eternal.
My one and only, keeper of my heart.

Matching gold rings exchanged,
All those years ago along with vows
Solidifying our soul binding love.

So lucky am I to know, that
I made the right choice.
In having you be the keeper of
My heart.

- Alexandra Pierotti.

 

 

Red Carpet.

Standing back, looking at my past,
I reflect on the fact that I was young and naïve.
Was taught to be invisible, instead of
Being seen. 

Since this is what my elders
Told me, I didn't know any better
Than to believe.

As a result, growing up, I was
Treated like I was a red carpet.
People walked all over me.
At times, even stampede.

Now, I'm glad to say,
All that has changed.
Tired of being trampled on,
I've brushed off the dirt and
Dust.

I learnt the hard way to
Consider myself, a priority.
Though I be of a simple and
Humble descent, in God's eyes
I am a star.

He created me so that for
Him, I would shine ever so
Bright.

Rebirth, growth and healing
Is what I represent.
Through my new found wisdom,
I know that I deserve
Respect.

Placing all my trust of
This journey, in God's hands.
In prayer that I overcome
What once was traumatic, is
Where my time is spent.

By day, slowly I gain courage
Encouraged by divine strength.
By night, my wings unfurl and
Sprout.

I've made peace with my
Past because I know, for me,
God has great plans and that
I have nothing to worry about.
