I am not the trauma I've experienced...and neither are you...

 I almost labeled this post as "I am not my trauma"...but I paused and thought about how important it is to be mindful of how you use your words. The trauma was and is not mine, I was having human experiences, just like in everything else. Except a few of them still hurt or...haunt me from time to time...no longer physically but mentally. As if its stained into my brain or something... I have never painted or claimed myself as a victim, even when people shunned me for not doing so. I've wronged people and people have wronged me. The difference though, that dramatically separates me from them, is that my intentions have always been pure. I've never consciously set out to cause anyone pain; not mentally, physically or mentally. So, when events occur that put me in a position for someone to intentionally cause me harm, I have to ask myself..."What is this experience teaching me?", What series of events led to this?" and "Where do I go from here?"...

Let It GO

 I keep saying I have to get better at this blogging thing lmao but I guess it's something that'll just have to gradually happen over time. I'm more of a writer, pen and paper type of gal. I have some sort of heavy shit to talk about today. Considering this the official turning of a page today. The theme for me this year, along with many others, is letting go. I've had to let go of so many people, places, things, habits, ideas...it's been hectic but it's also been proven to be worth it. I would've never believed it if someone told me this would be my reality now, a couple years ago. I probably would've cussed yo' ass out to be honest lol. But, this is what it is, and I'm slowly but surely adapting as I'm doing what needs to be done as well as what I've wanted to do my whole life. I'm following my flow of attraction, I'm following the straight and narrow, staying to myself.  Y'all know I love my music and I can always find a cu...

The Garden of an Empathetic Love Affair

Intuitively, then intellectually drawn to those who mean us no harm Only holding our deepest desires in loving arms... ...take a while to meditate and visually farm Sow the seeds of the fruits you'd wish to bare here Then lend a listening ear to hear why we're truly here To gain patience, wisdom and to over-stand another's' tears To wipe them away along with all preexisting fears To serve, and to switch gears accordingly To serve the Universe inordinately Give a man a fish, or teach him to fish Officially selfless, to go on and teach the selfish Everything still uniform, only refusing to conform Just consider me one of many unicorns forever unsourced Casting light and magic over the darkness plaguing the garden we've all started Always remember nature is the balance within our homestead Watch as your preconceived notions and desires take full bloom Are you proud or did you perceive your own doom?  Originally written 09/12/2018 by Miranda Blasingame

It's been a while...

Hello, hello, helloooooo... Long time no speak. At least that what it feels like for me. In the past couple weeks I have severed many ties, and moved on...literally. I moved from my apartment and into a townhouse. Slight flex, major upgrade! I stand on the fact that since we're all settled in and unpacked, I have no reason not to dedicate my all to my business and various talents. I've also been working on my mini battle with consistency these days.We're all a work in progress though right?! Moving took a lot out of me, I will not lie. BUT, it feels so good to be out of that apartment. I consciously and subconsciously relived so many different memories (good and bad, mostly bad) on a constant basis and it was draining the entirety of my energy. Sage bundle after sage bundle, release ritual after release ritual something deeper was embedded in those walls. And I feel a lot better now that I'm away honestly. My new place is a breath of fresh air, I'm far enough from r...

Welcome to Temple Talks

Welcome to Temple Talks Blog. I am Miranda Blasingame, aspiring author and solo entrepreneur mom of two boys! I own Temple Luxury & Company, I sell various naturally handmade products. I've wanted to be my own boss for as long as I can remember. I've always been drawn to the arts just as much as literature if not more. I have also been blessed to have a mother with a business driven mentality. She always taught me the importance of education, professionalism, manners and general etiquette period. I always thank her for passing along the jewels she'd acquired in her lifetime, regardless if they made sense at the time or not. These same jewels are still shaping me into the "uncommon millionaire" I am becoming today. I'd like to think of myself as a jack of all trades, becoming a master of many. I dibble and dabble in so many different things that it's easy to get burnt out quick. I've learned to focus in on whatever it is I'm most passionate abou...
