Today's meanderings...

Perhaps I will start a non-profit that helps to make a difference.  There are so many worthwhile causes out there...for me it's about helping individuals and families...not administrations.  Worthwhile causes get down and dirty with the people they are helping.  I'm about natural healthcare as the first option, medical healthcare only after that if natural fails.  I am against drugs that make people commit suicide or do crazy things.  I'm about education that truly educates.  The current system is failing our youth.  I'm about giving people equal rights - protecting human rights for all. I'm about making businesses succeed and an economy that flourishes and prospers.  I want to help able people become more able so that this happens.  I'm about making the world a better place one person at a time.  I love to help!

Election is over

I for one am just thankful that the nasty election is over.  While there were not the best choices, the government will carry on.  With good people positive changes can be made - good people like you and I in the trenches of life.  We can start to make a difference right here in our communities.  Without the media that's all we would know.  So today - make a difference in someone's life.  Even a very small difference.  Buy someone a cup of coffee....give them a half hour of your time to listen to them and their needs and acknowledge them as a person.  Simple - inexpensive and worth it!  Start today.  Too much for you to do...then just give someone a smile and tell them to have a great day...That is enough.  You are enough at whatever level you are!  Try it and let me know how it goes.
As I begin to plan for 2017, decisions have to be made on what events I will continue to produce and which ones I must leave behind.  My purpose is to make a difference in the lives of those in my community, family, and life.  Without community support it becomes difficult to fund and continue...so my quest is to find people with common goals that can help.

Building all my dreams into one lifetime sometimes seems monumental and pie in the sky...but if I don't try I can never succeed.  So I will start with the brand new day that I have before me and see where it will take me.  I'm excited to go my global entry meeting and get that done!  Travel will be easier and since my outreach tends to extend past the borders, I will look forward to making it as easy as possible.  Tomorrow I am lucky enough to have the opportunity to take a painting class!  It's been a little while since I allowed myself the creative time that I long for everyday!

Go forth today and make a difference!  If you don't know how, ask...Smile and carry on!  Love your family and your friends - practice your faith and believe in yourself.  See the world is already a better place because of you!  Have the best day ever!

Another Brand New Day!

Today is election day in the US.  I for one will be glad that it's over.  There is SO much information and dirty politics that there is NO truth anywhere.  You really can't believe anything that the media publishes.  They are only making money by sensationalizing everything.  Where do you find the truth?  Look inside...that's my best advice.  Trust yourself to make the best possible decision even if that's not voting for either of the two candidates.  Neither are worthy if you ask me to serve you, the citizens of this great nation.  I don't have a resolution on how to vote today...but what I know is that we must vote for our local representation and those things that will affect us locally.  Keep good people in Congress both locally and nationally.  They are the ones who more closely represent how I feel and you feel.  They are approachable.  You can have a reasonable conversion with them, get a response to a matter that concerns you, etc.  Don't forget that we are as a people a great nation.  What the media chooses to spread is just gossip and rumors designed to make all of us more robotic and less cause over our own worlds.  Don't buy into it.  Be yourself...Be valuable...Flourish and Prosper.  It will be ok.

Have a great Election Day and remember to respect the system.  If we don't like the system, then we need to work together to come up with a better one - but for now we should respect it.

Growth

Personal growth is always the most exciting and fulfilling feeling.  Sometimes you can't predict the source from which it will come.  It always comes from within when new data is learned or old outdated data is disposed of.  The past can hold you down when it comes to personal growth for sure.  Be open to learning new things and having new experiences.  Despite whatever life hands you...you can blossom where you land.  Be open...grow and expand.  Life awaits you...

Long trip away

We are heading south for somewhere between 2 and 6 weeks for me to take another step or two on my personal spiritual adventure.  It feels like a great time to look at the future and imagine what  I would like to create and how I would like to do so.  I'm looking forward to gaining abilities that will propel me into the future. 

It's interesting to plan to leave for a month or two.  While I have been away that long, it generally was a short trip extended rather than a planned excursion.  I'm really excited and scared at the same time.  It will be exciting and fun no doubt...but anything that causes personal growth and change is a little scary too.

I will keep you posted as time goes by and share some of the gains with you too.  Have a great fall and enjoy the cooler weather. 

Things are looking brighter!

You now know that I have been struggling with things over the last month as life continues on the path forward.  There are a lot of things to be concerned about in the world around us...but some days we need to take time to look around and realize that we are continuing in a path forward.  We are creating our own future each and every day.  We need to acknowledge our hand in the contribution to the world around us.  Yesterday was one of those days for me.  I can finally see some forward progress in my world.  Some corners have been turned and I'm on a truly healing journey.  It's been a year or two of many significant losses that finally seem to be easier to handle.  I am granting beingness to myself to grieve in the ways that I needed to grieve and at the times I needed to do so.  I have so many friends and mentors that constantly stood by my side and said what a great job I was doing and am still doing.  Thank you!  That is what propels me to look at the world newly each and every day.  While it's hard at times and I still feel guilty at times for being still here when others are not, it does get easier every day.

My future looks bright and I'm looking forward to the spiritual journey I'm preparing to embark upon next week.  As I strive to be the best being I can be, I am preparing for a few weeks of personal enhancement and figuring out how I can be the best person possible.  I also hope that I can identify and embrace some new purposes and paths to follow as the future unfolds.  I will keep you posted on my journey and hope that you will also embrace your own journey too!

Have a great weekend coming up.  Take time for you and share some of you with those you love.

Families

They dynamics between family members particularly in times of loss are always an interesting study.  As we are visiting with family the past seems to be the elephant in the room that no one really talks about.

What are we afraid to say? How much pain we feel...how many regrets we have?  Are we angry to be the one still here? 

I have always subscribed to more communication not less is the road out. It's hard to get people to talk but so healing when you can do so.  Today would have been Verle's 59th birthday.  It's sad that he never saw this day.  But life continues and so does he somewhere...somehow.  His spirit lives on eternally.  His contributions are well remembered. And our lives continue to a new chapter.

Here's to families and healing times.
