Dream Possible

(I’m the third from the left)

Over the past few months I have been missing in action and not writing like I’m supposed to, but I have a great reason.  Well, I have many great reasons.

First, I have been a part of a journey that will go down in history—the Second Act with Benita Adams. I’ve been hanging out and literally absorbing all there is to learn about production, being on television and chasing dreams. Through the show, I have the pleasure of meeting new and exciting people on their personal and professional journeys; I am elated. I had the opportunity to go to New Millennium Studios to tour and meet Daphne Maxwell Reid, aka Aunt Viv, from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. I went to the Go Red event, an event that was geared towards fighting heart disease, and interviewed Mrs. Virginia 2013.

Second, I know you always hear me talk about dreaming big and going after what you want, but I have to be honest with you, I haven’t been living what I’ve been preaching the past few years. However, now I am ready to move forward with my new show, DreamChasers with Lakia Gordon. Stay tuned for my promo and more information.

Third, my company, Unwrapped International has been in the beginning stages of soaring to new and exciting levels. We have merchandise in the works, a workshop coming up (June 8), and are reaching a generation to inspire and motivate them to achieve their goals and dreams.

Overall, the show, my company, the interviews and DreamChasers have allowed me to meet new and exciting challenges of growth within my life that I would have not dared to embrace. Over the next few blog posts, I want to share with you my journey and how impactful these encounters have been to my life. I am POSITIVE that you will leave INSPIRED.

Also, thank you all who have supported the Lakia Gordon blog over the years. It has been going strong since January 2010 and I am beyond blessed to share with you my journey.

Pieces of Me

Where Do I Fit?

In the puzzle box there are many small, oddly shaped pieces that reveal minor details of a picture. The colorful box displays what the end result should be, but as I reach deep within, I’m unable to determine which piece is next. Jumbled all together I have difficulty trying to decide. The small pieces only give you a vague glimpse as to what and where to go next. It takes strategy, it takes time and it reveals my patience. Am I willing to search for the next step? I mean, there are nearly 1000 pieces in front of me, but am I willing to keep trying? It’s difficult at times because I find pieces that look like the one; however, as I try to put them together they do not fully interlock. Frustrated, overwhelmed and stripped of pride, I often give up temporarily.  However, determined never to be conquered, I revisit the puzzle having repositioned myself with a fresh perspective.  As time elapse, I find a part that fits, and one by one the pieces start to come together. Eventually what’s in front of me coincides with the beauty on the box.

Like my life, there are many gifts and talents, but I keep asking myself, where do they fit? Where does this piece go? God, how do I, when do I, where do I go next? Often He will give us the colorful box to reference back to, the Word, to remind us that there is hope. Yes, soon you will see the end result, but you must seek through the small broken pieces to discover the beauty. As Cubism artwork shows us—objects are analyzed, broken up and reassembled in an abstracted form. This colorful art does not tell a story from one viewpoint, but depicts it from a multitude. In essence, your pieces of frustration, hurt, uncertainty or conflict will one day interlock and the broken story will unfold beauty; you will be complete. Your journey will not only be relatable and inspiring to one person, but several people will look at your puzzle “life” to see the best in their own situation and be INSPIRED.

Have you ever found yourself asking, where do I fit in the grand scheme of things? If so, don’t be discouraged! The pieces will come together, just keep dreaming, believing and putting the hard work in.
