Beyond Earthly Expectations

To the Architects of Spiritual Transformation,
In the vast landscape of human experience, there exists a frequency of power that transcends conventional understanding. This is not about conformity. This is about claiming the divine authority that has always been our birthright.
Cosmic Whisper of Feminine Power
Imagine a declaration so profound, it makes the universe pause. A message that echoes through spiritual dimensions, challenging every limitation society has ever imposed.
Stepping into Our True Magnitude
We are not here to apologize for our existence. We are here to illuminate.
Jupiter Hypothesis
Let them wonder. Let them speculate:
Are we from another realm?
Do we operate on a different frequency?
Are we something beyond their comprehension?
Breaking the Terrestrial Limitations
Our authority is not granted. It is inherent.
We are daughters of the most high
Our power is not performative
Our spirituality is not a costume
Celestial Narrative
When they ask, “Are you from Jupiter?”
We respond: “I am from a kingdom far beyond your imagination.”
Manifesto of Spiritual Sovereignty
To every woman who has been told to dim her light:
Rise.
Shine.
Claim your space.

Passport to the Sacred
Captured by Mitchell Royel and now playing Lorenz by Y.Lorenz
Where feet have walked, spirits have danced
Unmapped Itinerary of Divine Wandering
Imagine a journey without luggage, without checkpoints,
Where every step is a prayer, every breath a passport.
Jesus – the ultimate wanderer, the cosmic backpacker –
Traversed landscapes both physical and metaphysical.
Known Territories of the Heart
Bethlehem: Where a humble birth whispered revolution
Nazareth: Carpenter’s workshop of quiet transformation
Jerusalem: The epicenter of spiritual earthquake
Galilee: Shores where miracles danced on water’s edge
Whispered Journey to India (Allegedly)
Some sacred scrolls murmur of travels beyond the mapped world.
India – a mystical detour, a spiritual crossroads
Where ancient wisdom and divine revelation might have embraced
No Air India ticket required, just an open heart’s boarding pass.
Boundless Exploration
We’re not just traveling – we’re transcending.
Borders are illusions, consciousness our true destination.
No visa stamps needed when your soul is the traveler
And love is the only currency that matters.
Who needs frequent flyer miles when you can collect moments of grace?
Uncharted Pilgrimage
Every step is a sermon
Every breath a blessing
Every encounter – a holy communion
Travel light. Love deeply. Expand infinitely.
No boarding pass required – just an invitation from the universe.

Rock of Love: Reflection on Glamour, Identity, and Cultural Resonance

To Our Beloved Community,
We stand at the crossroads of cultural transformation, where the echoes of past narratives intersect with our evolving understanding of representation, style, and authenticity. Today, we’re called to reflect on the intricate tapestry of cultural moments that have shaped our collective consciousness.
Acknowledging Cultural Touchstones
The landscape of cultural expression is nuanced, complex, and deeply personal. Shows like “Rock of Love” on VH1 were more than mere entertainment—they were a mirror reflecting the raw, unfiltered energy of a specific moment in time. We recognize these cultural artifacts not as definitive statements, but as snapshots of a dynamic social landscape.
Respect in Representation
Our commitment is to honor the contributions of past cultural expressions while creating space for more inclusive, empathetic narratives. We don’t seek to diminish or erase, but to understand and grow.
New Era of Gospel Glamour
Gospel Glamour isn’t about perfection—it’s about authenticity. It’s about recognizing the beauty in our imperfections, the strength in our vulnerabilities, and the power of our collective stories.
Our Pledge
We will listen more than we speak
We will create spaces that celebrate diversity
We will approach cultural narratives with humility and respect
Moment of Reflection
To those who came before us, who carved paths through challenging cultural landscapes, we see you. We honor your journey. Your experiences are not footnotes—they are fundamental chapters in our ongoing story of self-expression and understanding.
This is not an ending. This is not a judgment. This is an invitation—to dialogue, to growth, to a more compassionate understanding of our shared cultural experience.
With profound respect and endless curiosity,
Mitchell + Gospel Glamour

Echoes and Embraces
Photo captured by Mitchell Royel and now playing "Deep Down" by Jai Wolf and Oaks – a moment of pure musical magic.
“There’s a certain magic in how memories dissolve into the present moment—like watercolors bleeding into a fresh canvas.
Deep down, we’re all navigating the landscape of our hearts. Those former flames? They’re not ghosts. They’re whispers of transformation, scattered breadcrumbs that led us exactly where we need to be.
Today, I’m breathing into now.
The new boys in my life—not lovers, but life—they’re mirrors of possibility. Their laughter is a rebellion against nostalgia. Their presence, a radical act of choosing this exact breath, this exact heartbeat.
We’re not healing. We’re becoming.
And becoming looks like soft edges. Looks like releasing. Looks like understanding that every connection, every touch, every goodbye is just another way the universe teaches us about love.
Radical self-love is not about forgetting. It’s about feeling everything and still choosing lightness.
Wisdom of Now
Your past is a story
This moment is your power
Connection is fluid
Joy is a choice
Deep down, we know. We always know.

Reflections on Change, Nostalgia and Moving On
captured by Mitchell Royel, #nowplaying - Kaskade’s Turn It down (with Rebecca & Fiona)
“Dear Younger Me,
I've been thinking a lot lately about the passage of time. About how life unfolds in chapters and eras, each one shaping us in profound ways before quietly giving way to the next. Nostalgia has a way of calling us back, doesn't it? Of flooding our senses with vivid memories of years past.
I close my eyes and I'm transported to long drives down the beach, windows down and music blasting. Kaskade's "Turn It Down" comes on and I'm right back there, singing along without a care in the world. The salty air whips through my hair as I reach for another handful of chili cheese fries, savoring the sweet burn on my tongue.
I see us dancing with abandon in movie theaters, giddy on youth and cheap snacks from the concession stand. Everything felt so monumental then, so dizzying and important. Especially love. Oh, that first brush with love—how it consumed us! We thought we'd never recover when that first "relationship" inevitably crashed and burned. I can still feel the hot sting of tears on my cheeks as I sat in my car after, convinced I'd never feel whole again.
But time kept moving, as she always does. Gradually, often without us noticing, we stepped into a new era. New people and experiences rushed in to fill the spaces left behind. We started to build a different life, one that would've been unimaginable to our former selves.
Yet sometimes the past has a way of circling back unexpectedly. I've had moments of running into people I knew from high school or college—people who were once my entire world. It's jarring to realize how much distance there is now, how little we have in common anymore.
I struggle to find the words to express that I've moved on, that while I look back on our history with fondness, I no longer feel that old connection. There's no malice or ill will, but that chapter has closed for me. The intense emotions and attachments of the past have been gently released.
It's a strange dance, trying to honor what was while being authentic about what is. I want to treat those former friends and flames with compassion, to acknowledge the role they played in shaping me. But I also want to be honest about the fact that I've changed. I'm not that lovesick girl crying in her car anymore. I've grown and shifted and stepped into a new version of myself.
I'm learning that it's okay to let people and feelings fade into the rearview mirror. It doesn't diminish what they meant to us then. But we're not meant to stay in one place forever. Life is constantly calling us forward into new adventures and new ways of being.
So to you, my former self, I say this: Embrace the nostalgia when it comes. Let yourself relive those moments that branded your heart. But don't get lost in them. The past is a beautiful place to visit, but you're not meant to live there anymore. Keep moving forward, even when it's hard or scary. The best is yet to come.
With love and liberation,
Ryder”
