September 1st…Another Month of Reflection…

Now with August saying farewell with a Super “Blue Moon,” September has moved in with notes of reflection…

Four months of 2023 left and Fall will soon be here…

Let us reflect on the last eight months. What was lost…what was left behind…what was gained…

Did we grow? Did we fall backward? Did we gain in wisdom…unconditional love…becoming better in body…mind…spirit…emotions? We have all changed…no matter how constant we believe we are…because change…is inevitable. Period. The test is the admission of recognition that change has occurred. Life cannot move forward…without change.

Take this moment to reflect upon the changes in you…your life…and how to use them to enhance upon becoming fluid with the changes. How will 2023 become a calling card in moving forward in the final months ahead? How are you spending your moments of “now” building your future? The future of those you touch? The world? Your being here is moving the world forward…positively…negatively…and everything in between. Every life has a purpose and a role in life…without a doubt…known…or unknown to you…choose to be a light in the world…use Change to the advantage of all life!

Use “reflection” to look back and assess how to move forward…

Use “reflection” to look back upon events inside and outside of your life…what is going on around you in your immediate surroundings, as well as your city, town, state, country, the world…do not dwell on the negatives…create positives to initiate changes that build…uplift…and enlighten… body, minds, souls, and spirits of those around you, and those you touch, in the course of your day to day journey through your daily routine…life…and living.

The world is in constant change and fluctuation…humanity’s influence to change and fluctuation is fifty percent…the other fifty percent is out of humanity’s hands…from our breathing…to the eruption of volcanoes…War…Peace…Life Quality…Love…Hate…are in humanity’s scope of Change…

September is here…it beckons reflection and reminds us that the year is coming to a close, shortly…

Let us not become complacent believing that a course is set to follow in the flow of day to day living…it isn’t…nothing is written in stone…Better todays… create better tomorrows…and build a gateway to a lasting future…

Reflection time is here…

Use it wisely…

There’s no going back…

September is here to remind us….

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….?

Blessed Are The Hearts…

“Blessed are the hearts that can bend; they shall never be broken.”

I wonder what Albert Camus was going through when he made this wonderful observation that is now a quote credited to him…

It is most applicable in these most dire times of our day to day living…

We must learn to teach our hearts to bend with the trials and tribulations that confront us from moment to moment, daily…or we will find ourselves overcome with the trauma of our hearts being broken…at every turn…and unless we know how to bend…we will surely perish under the onslaught…

In order to find the light at the end of tumultuous tunnels…we must become the light.

We must learn to see all sides of every situation…and choose to do what is best not only for ourselves…but for the good of others as well.

We must understand what breaks hearts…and not be a contributor in causing heartbreak for others, as well as ourselves.

In learning to bend our hearts to avoid heartbreak, we can also help others in learning to bend…It isn’t love that breaks hearts…it’s people…

Love is the great teacher…that helps us to bend…

In order to receive it we must open our hearts…

How do we understand love?

We graciously and unconditionally accept it…

And gift it to others…by sharing it…even in our darkest of times…because Love Is…and always will be…Humanity’s saving grace.

Blessed are the hearts that can bend…they shall never be broken…

For these are the hearts that have accepted the healing…bending…

And regenerative…Power of Love….

Today in America…and the world over…We need hearts to bend.
