HOME

 

Home, where is it, what is it?

Home, is it within us or

Is it a place with a key

Can we close our eyes and see home

Home is what we feel

Home is our heart and soul

It’s warmth, it’s spatial, absolute

Home is denyingly personal

The key to home is within your thoughts

Think it, feel it, and you are home.

THE WORLD WE LIVE

 

What has happened to the World I was born? What has happened to the beauty I used to see and smell? Seems like these days I find myself dodging fires, floods and storms. Then places where water is needed, it is no more. What happened to people helping, caring and loving each other just because? Why is hate in such abundance and not repair? Why can't we see how much we are the same instead of just the color of our skin? Why does that have to be the definition of who we are? Why can't the definition of us all be that of unconditional love and help to build a better World? This is the World we live that is dying from the hatred all around. The Earth is literally crying in agony through its disasters all around the World. Please wake up today for Mother Earth needs our love now before she is no more. Then we will have no World to live.

MOVING ON

 The idea of moving on for a lot of people is a little scary. Moving on into an area of the unknown may pose a sense of uncertainty, unpredictable and thereof unmanageable events.

Most of us dream of the possibilities of going further, doing something else, changing a routine or just moving on to a new adventure filled with excitement, curiosity and expectations. 

What have you done to prepare for the new adventure you are about to embark upon or are you just moving on taking it one step at a time? Whatever you decide, you must take into consideration of what would give you a sense of peace, joy and hope. Be brave and go forward if you truly hope to pursue your dreams.

SELF LOVE

Some of us are naturally born with this and many others nurtured in the concept. Many of us struggle to find purpose and worth in ourselves and constantly question the validity of our being. Instead of looking in the mirror and seeing someone beautiful, but imperfect, we see something very disturbing. We see a mess that needs to be fixed in every possible way. Somehow we fail to see all of the assets we possess. We judge ourselves on how we think others are seeing us rather than loving the uniqueness of our individuality. Stop assuming that something is wrong because something didn't or isn't as we expect they should be. Respect ourselves the way we expect to be respected by others. We should be very proud of our very differences that make us unique for it is this that makes us stand out from the crowd! 

We MUST remember that we ARE the most important person in our life. We MUST LOVE ourselves. Look at yourself and SMILE! 

SIGNS

All throughout our lives we see and are surrounded by all kind of signs. Some we very carefully follow, but others we virtually ignore. We often choose to ignore the signs though they may be right in front of us, the ones we cannot reach out and touch, but clearly are there. Why do we choose to ignore them? Does their importance mean less to us than those more tangible?
Signs appear to us in many forms. There are the ones that come to us in a dream. There are those that are heard through someone we know or even a stranger. Then there are those that appear to us in a series of signs visual, verbal or audible. They will appear one after an another in an attempt to make us acutely aware of their presence. So then, why do we ignore them? 
Is it because we are afraid of the direction it may take us, lead us on another path not yet traveled?
Would it not be more exciting to explore the possibilities presented by choosing to follow the signs? Most times life is not simple as black and white. Most times life is complex and entangled in a manner we would have never imagined for ourselves, but we survive! Wouldn't life be richer and fuller if we entertained doing and being more than just surviving? 
Take a deep breath, take a few and relax and allow yourself to see and be guided to a new horizon, a new truth! Follow the signs, then have FAITH they are part of your Divine guidance!
Believe in the signs!

FINDING PEACE

Peace is a quiet friend who makes no announcements

It does not speak or make any sounds to alert its presence

Instead it waits patiently to be happily discovered

Peace is something we all want to experience

Some will spend a lifetime in search of it but with no success

Others will bask in glory and ecstasy when quest ends

Peace is not something to see on the horizon

Nor is it any unsuspecting face in a crowd we gaze

But rather the overwhelming feeling deep inside of us.

FORGIVENESS

Life is difficult without us punishing ourselves. Why do we use every excuse to feel sorry for ourselves and to blame others. We fail to see how everytime someone does something to us, they take the power from us. In some manner we have given our will to them, therefore our power. It is easy enough to recognize immediately those that deliberately look to hurt us physically, emotionally, sexually, mentally and/or financially. We might avoid these direct pitfalls, but when they come disguised as something else such as friendship, love, partnership or comradship, we are blind sided by the ideas presented instead of  the reality of its true nature. Then we are devastated by the outcome. Angry beyond belief with who betrayed us and angry with ourselves for having let it happen, we become obsessed with how we were wronged. Some possibly seeking revenge and others just holding on to the pain of it. But the truth be told, we have to take responsibility for it all. It was our free will that allowed it to happen to us. It is our free will that can set us free from the burden of it. We must tell ourselves, yes this happened, but I forgive them for it. Then even more important, you must forgive yourself.

When you do this, you take back the power that you had relinquished. You make an offering of "Forgiveness" whether they accept it or not. They don't even have to understand why you are doing it. If they have no understanding, they will not understand that you have taken back the power from them. Their actions no longer shackle you. You become FREE! Forgiveness becomes the key to true freedom. It is within us ALL!
