Thanks-In-Giving…

Being thankful to give is the message today…

People hold the fate of the world in the palm of their hands. When we realize that being thankful means what we give to the world…not what we take from it…is the meaning of true “Thanksgiving,” we will see a new light of positivity emerge in the world and in our lives.

We must take a step back and take a good look around our created worlds which we have created within the reality of what is going on around us…truly…with honesty and reflection. What can you give to the world that will change your life and the lives of others in a most positive way…to ensure that the world keeps on turning…healing…and giving us the very air that we breathe?

What can we give to someone…anyone…to improve upon their condition of struggle…adversity…pain…or add to the smiles and selfless giving that does, somehow, seem to find you…in your moments of empty nothingness that strikes like a viper in the most inopportune of moments?

Giving thanks is more than sitting down at a dinner table and sharing a meal…one day out of the year. Understand the message of Covid-19…How appreciative are we of our times spent with loved ones and friends? Until we fully understand the meaning of “family”…of “friends”…of human connectivity…and how we mock the gift of life by holding selfish beliefs above selfless giving…the world will continue to experience loss in life…and loss… in humanity….

Give thanks in being capable of giving…

Give thanks in what you have been given…in goodness and wisdom…that you can pass on in contributing to make the world whole and give it strength in supporting life and adding longevity to its journey of existence in our galaxy.

The Earth does not restrict or withhold in giving her gifts of life…Why must we?

Thanksgiving is so much more than what it is chosen to represent…

Give thanks for “Thanks-In-Giving.”

Give thanks that you can….

Everyday we are given another day of life…

Another day to give thanks….

Another day to give…

Another day to be thankful…and understand…everything we have…was given.

Everyday…is Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving…

Happy Thanks-In-Giving!!!!

To Love…Is To Find.

To Love

Is to find…

For Love is pure…

It does not hide.

To bare one’s soul

Is to be alone…

For Honesty

Is a large pill to shallow…

To Be

Is to first exist…

How can we?

If we do not Love….

We must find love…it is our only salvation. If we continue to embrace what is shallow…materialistic and fleeting…we will not prevail and humanity will cease to be.

America…

It is crucial that we understand the importance of what this country should stand for…it is of high importance that we understand our connectivity and what it means to be guardians…shepherds…preservers…and respecters of life…in respecting life we respect the freedom of others…without impositions of our will…yet, this is a double-edged sword…because in respecting others we must be inclusive, open to all views…yet find the common ground of compromise…

If we understand what love is…and find the road to love…we will unite our country…as well as ourselves… Eventually…our world.

To Love…

Is to Find…

For Love is Pure…

It does not hide…

If you believe in Love…You won’t need to look far to find it…

Open your heart…..

A World of Lies…Or the Light of Truth?

A World of Lies…or the Light of Truth…

Which would you prefer?

A world of lies…or the light of truth?

I strive to tell the truth and shine the light of truth in everything that I do…I would rather sting in the moment of truth rather than drown in an ocean of lies.

What I write isn’t always going to be popular, pleasant, or delightful…however, it will be the truth…not “my truth,” but the truth…

It is important that we build our lives in truth…and live our lives from truth…no matter how we might perceive it as painful or too sobering…because lessons in truth form the core of our being…and should we speak from “our truth” it should always be drawn from experience.

Opinions “of truth” are just that…opinions.  We should not offer opinions of truth because they tend to distort “innocence” in thinking for oneself…and create someone else’s point of view within our consciousness. 

Our quest for truth is a journey of enlightenment for our souls…we nurture our desire to be filled with light…the light of truth elevates our being…gives us powerful insights… and allows us to see the real reality of any situation.

When we accept lies, we cloud our consciousness and our perceptions to what is reality…and what is not.  Because lies are constructed on falsehood, they will eventually crumble and tumble down…bringing you along with it. 

Sometimes, there can be no recovery because the damage is too severe…and one cannot emerge without scars…or the loss of one’s soul.

Truth and lies…a fine line to walk…yet an easy line to cross.

My sincere and deepest thanks to everyone who ventures across this threshold and stops for a read or two…and sometimes, what you’ve, read resonates your soul…and you take a seat…to see what is coming next, from this school of thought…

You are the tomorrows of today…walking your path of light in search of truth.

Welcome to this journey…I promise to always bring you truth…because deep within the caverns of our souls…

Truth…is what we are….

And what we seek to become…

A part of the flame that eternally burns…

In Truth….

A world of lies is fleeting…

Only truth remains constant…

Savor the transformation….

A new day and age has dawned…

A World of Lies…

Or the Light of Truth?

Let the Light shine…

Within…and without….

Peace…..

Be Strong, Sistah…Be Strong….

From 1920 to 2020…Women have been fighting for and demanding their place in the world… and the respect they so rightfully deserve in contributions to the world…their communities…their families…and their own lives… Yet, it continues to be a constant struggle, a century later, for those of the opposite sex to recognize and acknowledge fully…the feminine energy, and how it continues to build the world…and heal the destruction and devastation, usually initiated and cultivated by her masculine counterpart…

To all of the women of the world, My Sistahs… I dedicate this writing…Always remember who you are…despite what others want to make you out to be…Remember your pains and your struggles…your wants and your needs…your strong and everlasting spirit…and your drive to be true to yourself…

We nurture the Universe…and we must remember to nurture ourselves…especially moving into 2021…

We have much to do…So let’s do it with our feminine force…and our quiet courage…and our undying spirits…when we’re going through it…when we’re asking ourselves why…just remember…it’s okay to cry…to retreat for a moment to gather your bearings…just come back with a vengeance to succeed…and…Be Strong, Sistah…Be Strong….

Be Strong, Sistah…Be Strong…

How long have I heard those words?

How Long?

Be Strong, Sistah…Be Strong…

Hey, I’m only human…

I have feelings too… Just like you…

I want to be held…comforted…coddled…appreciated…intoxicated

With love and affection…and a strong erection…

Performing erotic perfection…in homage to all those times…

That I lived in doubt…struggled without…wondered why…

Hosted many a cry…released a millennium of sighs…

Waded through countless “goodbyes”…cutting ties…embracing lies…

Be Strong, Sistah…Be Strong…

Will somebody please tell me?

What did I do wrong?

Be Strong , Sistah…Be Strong…

I was born a woman…

Society’s crime…in passage of time…I nurture…

I protect…I deflect…I assure…I procure…I endure…

Your pain…their pain…my pain… I secure…

Your gain…their gain…my strain…

I can take it…I can fake it…bles-sed be…

Be Strong, Sistah…Be Strong…

It hurts so much, I could die…Can’t they see?

Are they blind…maybe? What’s happened to me?

She’s alright…she’ll get over it! She can take it!

She don’t fake it!!!

Pile it on…she won’t break…she won’t shake! She won’t quake!

Feelings of steel…a heart that won’t peel…Looks that could kill! Me, erratic?

There’s no static! I’m no tease…I’m here to please…and please…and please…

And PLEASE, everybody freeze!

I hear it coming…my mind is humming…the tune is numbing…

That same old song!

Be Strong Sistah! Be Strong…

Into the fire! To serve is your desire…there’s no position higher…

My woman…My lady…My wife…My boo…My girl…My gal…My mommy…

My “homey”…My dog…My cunt…My slut…My “ho”…My bitch…My shit…My ass…

My stuff…My fluff…My hole and tits…My friend-with-benefits…My female…

My Sistah…My Sistah…My Sistah!!!

Be Strong…Be Strong…Belong…Belong…Belong…to You….

Be true…Be true…Be true…to You….

Be Strong, My Sistah…BE STRONG!!!!

In body, mind and spirit, be forever true to yourselves…When we are true to ourselves…We transform…not only ourselves…but the world.

Insights…

Today, I learned another valuable insight on the road to self-awareness and self-realization…It is imperative to let go of fear…Fear robs one of many opportunities to grow and prosper in spirituality.  In order to grow, we must also free ourselves from “expectation.”

Part of Love’s evolutionary process is “UN-conditionality.”  Everyone…and every situation we encounter in life is rich with blessings…We must learn to “let go” and let God show us “The Way.” We as humans hold on to so much worthless “fodder” believing it to be what is priceless…Material things…Money…They are not priceless…They are the foundation upon which we build our fears…believing these “things” to be Priceless…

Love…Honesty…Truth…Integrity…Love…Loyalty…Honor…Love…Truth to Self…Faith…Love…Surrender…Unconditional…Love…Believe…True to Others…Love…Compassion…Love…Love…Love…

A few of the off-shoots of Love…

These are all branches from the Tree of Love…Yes…as there is a Tree of Life…There is also a Tree of Love…

When a realization opens up another avenue of Light within, it is then we know that we have opened up another path to the “better” of our being…Nothing compares to that ray of “knowing” that emerges…

Insights are our building blocks of Change…

When we change ourselves…we change the world.

Never corrupt Love with “expectation.”

Never measure Love with conditionality…

Never barter…compromise…or cheapen Love by manipulation…

Never violate the sanctity of Love by using it to gain…

Once you understand “The Way”, Love will unfold in all of its glory and transformation…in miracles inconceivable to human comprehension…

Insights…

Powerful realizations…

They change us…and empower us…

To change the world…

Your Life…

Your life…Have you really ever stopped everything to think about it?

Your life…What does it mean to you?

Your life…Does it have meaning, or purpose?

Your life…Do you really care about it?

Your life…Have you ever really silenced your mind to examine it?

Your life…are you living your life?

Your life…Are you full of judgments?

Your life…Is it full of Love?

Your life…Are you the self-appointed center of your universe?

Your life…Do you dwell in negativity?

Your life…Do you play well with others?

Your life…Can you share it with anyone?

Your life…Do you give selflessly?

Your life…Can you give love?

Your life…Do you share love?

Your life…Is it positive?

Your life…Do you love it?

Your Life…Do you hate it?

Your life…Do you appreciate it?

Your life…Do you live in the moment?

Your life…is it perfect?

Your life…Is it honest?

Your life…

Your life…

Your life…

Continue from this moment…reflect…collect…assess…continue the questions…Isn’t your life worth the gift that it is…to challenge it…to be a contributor of positivity to be your better self?

Your life is and has purpose…everyone possesses a gift that can blind the world with its radiance and transformational power…Do you know what it is? Go within…and bring it without…Whenever you smile, you give some of it to the world…whenever you think of someone else’s needs before your own…you are uplifting the world…

You…are a reflection of your life…be aware of what you are reflecting…be aware of what you are sending out…be aware of your life…be aware that your life is yours…and you are writing your life…you are presenting the story of your life…to the world.

This gift that is your life…

Live it…give it…change it…grow it…nurture it…embrace it…appreciate it…know it…show it…humble it…offer it in service…share it…surrender it…with Love…

Your life…is Love….

Live your life with…from…and for…Love…

Throw the rest away…

This…Is your Life…..

What Would The World Be…Without Moms Everywhere….

Free Flowers Stock Photos - Stockvault.net

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers in the world…Life would be dismal and desolate…without a mother’s love… The love that nurtures…comforts…protects and endures…a love unconditional…absolute…and insures…there will always be someone there to love us…no matter…come what may.

What would the world be…without moms everywhere…Lost…sometimes, that’s how I feel, since losing my Mom four years ago…I long to go to her when I need a friend…when I feel lost in the madness of this world…when I need to hear her voice…

I thank God for the storage of memories…because they keep her alive in my heart…I close my eyes, and the pictures and moments begin…and my heart fills up with the essence of her being…her voice…her looks…the beautiful scent of her…the comfort and security she gave…the love…the hugs…the kisses….Happy Mother’s Day, Mom…

For those of you who still have the gift of your moms being near…and here still…give her all the love she can hold, no matter if sometimes you may get on each other’s nerves…it’s a mother’s privilege to do so…let her! When she goes to glory, you will ache for those times….

Remind her, with love, how she is the most important thing in your life…because she gave you passage into this world…one day a year is nowhere near enough to show your love and appreciation…do it everyday!

What would the world be…without moms everywhere…let’s not even imagine it!

Go…Love your moms…lavish them with thanks and appreciation…because you never know when you may just have to close your eyes…and open your hearts…to see…feel…and touch her… through memories….

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO MOMS EVERYWHERE! You are deeply and forever…loved and appreciated.

Love…Love…Love…It’s Easy.

Today, there was a laminated card attached to the door…It started with…

“Hello, If you are self-isolating, I can help.  My name is…My phone number is…I live locally at… If you are self-isolating due to COVID-19, I can help with, Picking Up Shopping, Posting Mail, Prayer, A Friendly Phone Call, Urgent Supplies…Just call me or text me, and I’ll do my best to help you (for free!)

And it ended with…

“Coronavirus is contagious, therefore I will take every precaution to ensure I’m spreading only kindness.  I will seek to avoid physical contact (2m distance), wash hands regularly, and leave any items on your doorstep.”

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.  I do not give to you as the world gives.  Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” ~Jesus Christ

It was left by a neighbor…

Love…Love…Love…It’s Easy.

For humanity, this is a test for the ages…we have strayed so far away from our core…our spirit…our light…our hearts…our souls…our essence…Love.  It is incredible that we are always at our best…when things are at their worst…it is beautiful.  Think…how phenomenal it would be…if we would cultivate our flame of love…the essence of our being…to be second nature…without thought…without effort…as involuntary as breathing…in reaching out to each other…whenever…however…whatever the need…with love, support, compassion, understanding…love…love…love…isn’t it ironic that it takes something out of our control to bring us together as one people…one world…one unit united to defeat an invisible enemy…with love?

We will never be the same…because this moment in our time…has changed us.  We cannot return to the separations created to divide us…to weaken us…to rob us of knowing our true essence…love.  Mountains can be moved in the name of love…Coronavirus will be defeated…in the name of love…Sorrows will be lifted…in the name of love…hearts will be mended…in the name of love…you will be changed…in the twinkling of an eye…in the name of love…You have embraced your neighbor…in the name of love…you have been changed…

Love…Love…Love…It’s Easy.

The lights of love are being activated…all over…in every corner of the world…in every heart that answers the call…Don’t you hear it?

Love…Love…Love…It’s Easy.

Your supply is endless…Use it…

 

 

 

And When You Feel Afraid…

The Coronavirus has turned the world upside down…Be still…and know, that all is not lost… A new realization is on the horizon…

And When You Feel Afraid…

Remember who stilled the waters…and brought calm to the sea… Remember that all things must pass…and this too, shall pass…

And When you feel afraid…

Remember who you are…All things find peace in the presence of Love…

Give it.  Receive it.  Give it to all who need it.  Do not measure it.  Do not barter it.  Do not ask for it in return.  Send it out on the wings of a prayer… On the wave of an ocean… On a river of dreams… Set it to sail from the ship of your heart… From the depths of your soul… make it the essence of your being… Because it is your being… You are Love.

And When You Feel Afraid…

Remember you are not alone… There is always someone reaching out in love… And when you forget… and feel afraid… There is always someone waiting to remind you… You are loved… And you are love…Know it…be it…Become it.

Right now…in this moment…all over the world…there are masses of people afraid… Not knowing how to move forward… Not knowing what will happen next…

Move forward with love…move forward giving love…move forward knowing that love conquers all. No matter what the obstacle… no matter what the impossibility…Love conquers all… Love unites all… Love heals all…

And When You Feel Afraid…

Fear not… The waters from this great storm will be quieted…Calm will be brought to this turbulent sea… all things will come to pass… and this too, shall pass…

Love is the key… There is no greater power in the heavens or on earth…

And When you Feel Afraid…

Remember…

Remember…

Remember…

There is no greater power in the heavens…or on earth…

Than Love….

 

 

 

 

Love Is The Answer…

 

Love is the answer…

Let’s take a look at us…our world…and let’s reflect on what is happening in it…and what we see on a day to day basis…There is something missing, and it is being reintroduced to the world…through all of the chaos…madness…sickness…disease…viral pandemic…and death… What is it? Can you see it?

Love…is the answer.  I would like to write  the lyrics to one of my favorite songs of the ’70’s…Written by John Wilcox/Kasim Sutton/Roger Powell, and Todd Rundgren…Sung by John Ford Coley…it is timeless…it is relevant…it is now.

LOVE IS THE ANSWER

Name your price

A ticket to paradise

I can’t stay here anymore

And I’ve looked high and low

I’ve been from shore to shore to shore

If there’s a short cut I’d have found it

But there’s no easy way around it

 

Light of the world, shine on me

Love is the answer

Shine on us all, set us free

Love is the answer

 

Who knows why Someday we all must die

We’re all homeless boys and girls

And we are never heard

It’s such a lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely world

People turn their heads and walk on by

Tell me,  is it worth just another try?

 

Light of the world, shine on me

Love is the answer (let it shine)

Shine on us all, set us free

Love is the answer (you know the answer is love)

 

Tell me, are we alive, or just a dying planet?

What are the chances?

Ask the man in your heart for the answers

 

And when you feel afraid, love one another

When you’ve lost your way, love one another

When you’re all alone, love one another

When you’re far from home, love one another

When you’re down and out, love one another

All your hope’s run out, love one another

When you need a friend, love one another

When you’re near the end, love

We’ve got to love, we got to love one another

 

Light of the world, you got to shine on me

Love is the answer

Shine on us all (know that love can save the day)

Set us free

Love is the answer

(Just give it, just one more chance)

 

Light of the world, shine on me

Love is the answer (love, love, love)

Shine on us all, set us free

Love is the answer

(Lord, you just can’t let it stop, Lord)

 

Light of the world, shine on me

Love is the answer

Shine on us all, set us free

We just can’t let it stop…We’ve got to love one another now… Use the light within you…shine on the world…set it free…Love Is The Answer…..
