On The Eve of 2023…

Here we are…the last day of 2022…On the eve of 2023…

We cannot leave behind another year that has changed so many lives on every level of living…and dying.

We must carry the memories and the lessons learned into the New Year…using them to focus on building a better bridge for humanity to expand upon the best that each and everyone of us has to give in contribution to realizing positive milestones…

We must absorb “the real of change”…

We must undertake the realities that face us if we continue to roll around in ignorance and denial…

We must understand that being able to witness the coming of another year…is not a right…but a privilege…because as we know…there are no guarantees to living…or to life.

We wake…we walk…we breathe by the grace of something far larger and greater than any human entity…and lest we forget…we are indeed reminded.

We must remember to walk with humility…Talk with kindness…and relate with love…

Choose and cultivate Peace…

We must strive to elevate our spirits…recognize connectivity…honor diversity…and embrace every experience and adventure that unfolds in our lives…because these all contribute to the sum total of who we are…and how we fit into the ever changing tapestry of the world and beyond…how the best of us gives birth to another star in the cosmos…as well as touching lives we have yet to meet…

The changing of the year is not a mundane and trivial happening in the scheme of things great and small…it is a change that gives humankind another opportunity to prolong its existence upon this place we call Earth and home…

On the eve of 2023…don’t squander the gifts you’ve been given to continue to make a way for elevating the best of who you are…and the best of others…

Pay attention to what is going on around you…embrace the gift of change…forge your path with footprints to follow into 2023 and beyond…

You…can make 2023…a Happy New Year…

A toast to your footprint!!!

Happy beginnings…

Reflect and Meditate…On a Selfless Christmas.

Today is Christmas. It will be a day of joy and celebration for some…and just another day for others…

However the day unfolds…take some time to reflect and meditate…and take yourself out of the equation to reflect and meditate on others.

While it is always good to be thankful and grateful for what you have…and what you receive…step outside of your box and reflect and meditate on those who are not as fortunate due to War…Poverty…Homelessness…Mental Disabilities…Sickness…Physical Disabilities, and other human frailties which may or may not come to mind…

These human conditions will not take away from your joy of Christmas if you become a part of someone else’s joy. Remember, it isn’t always a material gesture that heals…a smile…a kind word…an act of random kindness, everyday…will elevate a spirit to the highest level of Heaven! Christmas isn’t just for a day…it is an energy that is endless and timeless!

The difference someone makes in your life…is the difference you make in others’ lives…

When you step out of Ego…and into Spirit…you know who you are…what your purpose is…and how you can leave a positive footprint in the world…for others to step into…

You are the Joy…

You are the Light…

You are the Giver…

You elevate the goodness in the world…

You…make the choices to do so…or not…

You…bring Christmas…

You are…Christmas…to more people than you know…

Reflect and Meditate on that…

Being “selfless” is an unconscious habit…

Refine it and allow it to shine brightly…

Mesmerize…like the lights on a Christmas tree…

Reflect and Meditate…

Let the joy of your Christmas…touch the lives of countless…

Let the joy of you…energize you…

Merry, Merry, Merry…Christmas!!!

To All…Goodnight…

To All…Shine…Bright.

May Peace always…be with you….

This Night Before Christmas…Commit To Peace…Pledge…To Love…

Christmas Day… over 2000 years ago, bestowed upon humankind a miracle…in the form of a man who would eventually give his life for the salvation of Humanity…

While it is your choice to believe or not believe…Salvation is yours.

This night before Christmas… Commit to Peace…Pledge… to Love…

We choose the lives we live…we can make conscious and unconscious choices to live the best possible lives that contribute to the well-being of those within and without our immediate circles…families…communities…

We can gift many with kindness and compassion…understanding and patience…with goodness and joy…

These gifts are lasting and yield endless bounty…paving the way to Peace…reinforcing the power of Love…

Receive these gifts in the Spirit of Christmas…and in the Light of Salvation…Understand the miracle of Christmas…

Gift these treasures…and behold the miracles which spring forth and transform humankind…

This night before Christmas…Commit to Peace…Pledge…to Love…

Your light…and how you use it…nurtures and sustains…the true meaning…and the miracle…of Christmas….

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing….

Restoring Christmas Magic…With The Heart of a Child.

Here we are…three days before Christmas… Can you feel the Magic?

Isn’t it something how Christmas eventually melts the hardest of hearts?

Remember when you were a child and the anticipation of what was to come…wishes and desires materializing in the wonder of the Season? Nothing was impossible in the heart of a child…our childish innocence was priceless! And magic…because we believed!

Can we recall that belief and restore Christmas magic…with the heart of a child?

Can we believe long enough and strong enough to change the chaos going on around us…in our lives…in the country…in the world?

Restoring Christmas magic with the heart and determination of a child…can bring about Christmas miracles…if you believe

Belief moves mountains…materializes hope…dreams and desires.

Believe in Peace…

Believe in Harmony…

Believe in Love…

Believe in You…

Believe in Humanity…

Believe in giving outside of yourself…

Believe in the goodness of spirit that keeps the world turning…and the universe from imploding…

Believe in Hope…especially when you can be the bearer of hope for another…

Believe in Good Will and be the example in practicing it…always.

Believe that there is more light in the world…by increasing yours…and becoming the better part of yourself…until it becomes

the entirety of your being…no one is a lost cause…unless they give up on themselves…

Don’t ever give up…give in…unleash the child-like innocence in your heart…let the magic of the Season show you again…

Restoring Christmas Magic…

Restoring Belief…

Restoring…You…

Christmas is almost here…

Unleash the magic…

Believe!!!!

Finding Peace In A Chaotic World…

When we find real and true peace in our hearts…we will find peace in a chaotic world…and when enough of the masses understand the real and true meaning of peace…chaos will cease to reign.

People create chaos…People create peace…The equation is simple.

Peace on Earth…Goodwill towards humankind…has always been people’s choice…

Choosing chaos over peace is leaving the world and humanity scarred…and unable to heal and recover.

Veterans Day is always a bleak reminder of how many lives were given because chaos is embraced constantly over peace…

Veterans and civilians alike…from chaos on the battlefields…to chaos within our country…and around the world.

We must remember how we are all connected…how we all affect one another…seen…unseen…next door…and oceans apart…

We must quiet and dissipate our chaos…within…and without…and lay a foundation and pathway to lasting peace…within…and without…

Finding Peace…in a chaotic world…is our choice…

Reflect on today…

Honor it…

And take up the path of Peace…..

Who’s Looking Back At You?

Who’s Looking Back At You?

Michael Jackson wrote a song that wasn’t just a song…it was a “call to consciousness”…

Isn’t it funny how we only want happy endings in our lives…and maybe some immediate others whom we consider “family”?…Or maybe just happy endings for that person reflected in the mirror?

Do we ever stop to really soak in the realization that we are a part of the chaos consuming the world…and if we would only see the bigger picture and change…we could be the puzzle piece that makes the world a better place?

Ask yourself a question…this question…

Why does one ever seek outside of themselves to know the truth of it all…when the truth lives within you?

The world is or isn’t because of the “truths” we accept without self-examination…

Would spiritual beings living a human experience…seek to destroy life?

Would spiritual beings living a human experience garner delight in performances of pure evil?

Would spiritual beings living a human experience continually create chaos…division…promote and practice hatred in every form imaginable…and beyond imagining to infect and spread such evil doctrines to stop love from flowering the planet…and the willing hearts of humanity who strive to keep love flowing?

When we allow ourselves to become lost in the chaos and madness…we become a part of the problem…not the solution…

Who’s looking back at you?

Who is that person you see in the mirror?

Selfish lover…or universal lover?

Spiritual Being…or savage interloper bent on destruction and a threat to love and peace everywhere?

Who’s looking back at you…can they change their ways?

Introduce yourself…

Then ask…that question…

Change is possible at any age or place in your life…

You are the answer…

You…know the truth.

Make that change…..

Comments…Thoughts…and Questions…

Comments…Thoughts…and Questions…

G.I. Jane was a movie about a woman rising to the occasion in a male dominated military…namely the US Navy’s SEAL/C.R.T. program. The program had a standard 60% dropout rate for men…LT. Jordan O’Neill, (Demi Moore’s character) was determined to prove everyone wrong about her passing the program. She succeeds… The joke made was referencing a haircut…not a condition…the movie was a testament to the spirit of women and their ability to overcome adversity and triumph against all odds…The Smiths clearly failed to rise above and made it personal…and costly…to their detriment. Violence is never the answer to displeasure…

Chris Rock emerged with gains, respectability… and as a person who rose above an unnecessarily, volatile situation…it was the bringer of the physical action who belittled himself…. excuses do not equal passage to put hands on another perpetuating physical harm or verbal abuse…Everyday we are all faced with trials of our evolutionary process to rise above that which would pull us down into the depths of self-destructive and caustic behaviors…toward ourselves, as well as others…and we choose…

Save America? Muzzle Trump and the GOP…

Will America ever live up to its name of “United States of America”? Are we headed for that great graveyard of past empires that have crashed and burned into oblivion?

Forgiving…mending…and healing the past…will lead the way to unity…along with restructuring the present political parties to really be the voice of the people…and a nation of democracy.

Staying on course with the present GOP will surely condemn the nation to ruin…their loyalties are not rooted in Democracy…The majority of the Republican party promote poisonous theories and ideals, placing their party above the Constitution…Liberty…and Freedom….as well as real service to their American constituents…on both sides of the political spectrum. They promote division and the hateful doctrines which continue to keep America divided….

We must not walk blindly into harmful principles and voting changes that will render our country a remnant of what it can be again…America, the Beautiful…

Imperialism is slavery…it has no place on American soil…Those Republican Senators that are praising Putin along with a fallen, narcissistic businessman bent on controlling a nation through a passive-aggressive GOP political party…chipping away at American democracy…places our nation nearer to an eve of destruction…

All over the world…we have witnessed that rules are only made to be broken…applicable to some, yet not to others….If we cannot contain and put a stop to the tyrants masquerading as politicians in our own country…how can a tyrant and demonic presence such as Putin be stopped? Others with Putin’s agenda are just waiting in the wings to further wreak havoc and destruction upon unsuspecting populations who are only interested in living a good life in peace…with freedom.

Ukraine is fighting the good fight…they believe in Ukraine….they believe in freedom…and they are dying for that belief and dedication and loyalty…. to democracy and peace…

Those nations in the world…along with America…must stand up to peace and freedom…by fighting alongside Ukraine, in addition to sanctions…we must do more than the impossible….

We must not fool ourselves into believing that this aggression and genocide perpetrated by Putin and his Russia…is not on our doorsteps…it is…and our boots are already in it.

We are faced with the monumental task of literally healing the world…

We cannot afford to fly off the handle in pursuit of the mundane and self-absorbed…trite…chest-beating heroics…

Before life can be lived…

There must come an appreciation for it…

On every level and spectrum of life…

Our purpose…

Is….?

Connectivity….

Connectivity…I have talked about it in the past…We are all connected…what we say…what we do…what we think…affects those around us…and those we don’t know…

We would like to think that we live inside our own little bubbles…in our own created corners of the world…We do not…This connection to all came up on the televised around the globe Oscar Ceremony, Sunday, March 27, 2022….

Witnessing the incident of assault upon Chris Rock by Will Smith made me physically ill…it was also described by other celebrities and people who witnessed the assault as making them physically ill as well…

Will Smith’s action reverberated around the world…and touched lives out of his sphere of everyday existence! His action took the life out of the celebration…and took away the light from the auditorium of people who were as well being acknowledged for their historic achievements…which fell to the wayside by an act of violence….

Love does not make us do crazy things…the inability to control emotions…rely upon intelligence…and understanding that it is love that gives us the opportunity to do the right thing…the humility and the insight to rise above any situation that would lead one to act impulsively and create a domino effect by not taking a step back first…and realizing the repercussions…to others…as well as yourself…is an individual act of free-will…

Anyone believing that they are chosen to be an ambassador or vessel of love and peace…should read and study passages from holy books and sages…which gives everyone the abilities to be unconditional in their love of humanity and becoming peacemakers…

“Sticks and stones can break my bones…but words can never hurt me.”

Will Smith was given an example of love from Chris Rock...Chris chose not to press charges…He hasn’t spoken about the incident…and for both men it was a test of spiritual evolution….someone lost…and someone gained….

I would recommend the reading of 1 Corinthians 13, verses 4-8 for Will Smith, his family…and anyone who believes it is their mission to be an example of love and peace…or again, any holy book that teaches the real meaning of Love….

We must understand how we all affect our human family…and the planet we live on…it is alive as well….

We are all connected….

Acts of violence destroy….

Acts of love restores….creates more love….and endures….lighting the world….

What kind of conduit will you be?

What Do You Think?

More and more… life around us is becoming more strange and chaotic…

It raises questions on where we are in our evolving process…Are we moving forward or backward?

Throughout human evolution life has been nothing more than a game of Chess…Everybody wants to rule the world….why? Can’t people learn to live in peace?

There was an episode of The X-Files where Mulder came in contact with a genie. After 500 years of granting wishes, she has concluded that people are still greedy and self-centered as they always have been…so, she begins to corrupt the wishes granted if they are not “specific” enough in what they want.

She grants Mulder three wishes…he asks for world peace. He goes outside and realizes that there are no people! He questioned the genie and she tells him that he wished for world peace…that’s when Mulder realized that “people” are the problem that creates the chaos that disrupts the world being peaceful…and in order to have his remaining wishes granted, he must be specific to the degree that the wish cannot have any possibility of being distorted or corrupt. He asked the genie what she would wish for…if she could…after she told him…he wished it for her…it was his last wish…because he asked her to undo his first wish…

What Do You Think?

The trouble with people…are people…if people allow people to be the problem…

Do you ever wonder what peace on earth would be like if humanity could evolve beyond the darkness of chaos and world domination?

You don’t need to wonder…you don’t need a genie…

Peace begins…and ends…with you….
