What I Find In Friends ...

In my friends' eyes I see an expectation for great things and in their hearts' .. I see a devotion to making it all a reality. I even compute their occasional confusion in this way and together we make each day better for us all.

We experience forgiveness and willfully do so, because we are aware that there has been or will be a time when we too need to be forgiven.
When we are called towards kindness we turn and welcome it. We take nothing for granted.
We help each other to rise up and put our hand out even if it is not needed; so each knows that the other is there.

We share uncontrollable laughter and wonder why the whole world isn't in on the joke.
We share our sorrows sometimes publicly and also silently. We are simply devoted to sharing.
We know that there are no guarantees and show up anyway in any way we can.
We say thank you to each other and we know that love is not a four lettered word.
We are devoted always in all ways.

When we say " I love you..." It is never followed by " but..." Because love is unconditional.
We are honest even when the truth hurts because we are willing to stand there and soothe that hurt away.

We make no assumptions and do not ever attempt to force that which does not fit.
We know that this thing we call " friendship" between us is the choosing of family for our individual selves.

We have the thrill of the unspoken and the aim to be greater to the world than we each deserve from it.
We know how to solve each others challenges or just listen to what they are.
We respect each others privacy and will applaud publicly our open achievements as the need may be.
We do not laugh when the other has forgotten the words to a song.
Instead we remind each other of the melody, the words we remember and dance to what we declare the remix.

We recall that we are all spirits having a human experience and know that it is okay for some to be higher than others.
We are brilliant, we know it and we share our light so that it is paid forward.
We feel loved and are safe with each other.
We support each others endeavors and are as happy for each others success as if it were only our own.

We hug each time we are close enough to do so and deeply as if we will never have another opportunity.
We pat each other on the back and look on the other in the eyes as we share our stories.
We recognize the treasure that is sharing the same air in this time; breathing together.
We know that there is no such thing as alone and stand firmly in being " all one".
We understand that our friendship is sacred and we cherish each other ( time, company, thoughts, space).

I wish you such a friend in your life and more so that you are that friend to someone else.

Namaste!

Show some respect. He is not your companion. He is your Commander -In - Chief.

The blatant and horrid disrespect of our Nation's President started long before the State of the Union address where he was called a " liar" and continues with even worse name calling and racial attacks. Our President may be referred to as the following: " Mr. President", "The Honorable Barack Obama", "His Excellency, Barack Obama", and of course President Obama. Nothing less is acceptable. Even referencing him by first name alone (as many people do) is out of line unless you are First Lady Michelle Obama. While I think we are a global family, I also think these ongoing episodes do much to further segregate America and give it the image of our country as a place of disgrace, disuntity, and hate. Imagine trying to explain it to a 5 year old who followed the campaign and elections with her family and proudly declared that " Our President is Barack Obama and Ms. Michelle looks like my Nana."

LETTING GO....

L-E-T-T-I-N-G G-O You have seen these words before..yes? Very simply written in nine letters. “L e tting go .” Why does it make you uncomfortable? It is simply an action that you as a human being experience every single day, just by physically and chemically existing. It is an action that occurs when you have complete trust in your intuition ; that heaven sent voice inside of you. You know the one you may not always agree with, but the angels are so fond of you ..they send it into your ears, head, heart , and sometimes your eyes? If you are reading this your eyes open and they shut very quickly ..it is called "blinking" but in fact it is letting go and it happens very quickly. As we blink old light goes away and we allow new light to come in …seeing the next moment. As you turned on your computer or device you may have pressed a button, touched the screen, flipped a switch. As you clicked on your mouse, stroked and released keys on the keyboard, raised your fin

Just Ask

Just Ask.... The other day I was asked how it is that I am so drawn to the image of Buddah and I responded. " It is a very peaceful image for me." There is a bit of a smile ...or not, but the face looks content and even like a baby. What well person can be upset with a baby? I also cannot help but think of a flower and the humility of growth when I see the image of Buddah. There are several Buddah statues throughout my home. They soften my already softly and thoughtfully appointed living, working, bathing and sleeping spaces. They are comfortable places to be. Buddah was a prince that gave up all of his wordly possessions to have an ultimate peace. All the trappings ...given away. With that thought, I also shared that a flower is something that I wonder if any one human being could be upset with. I think it is nearly impossible to do that too. Perhaps this is because we all know that flowers, as commonplace as they are, do not just occur. They are a part of a miracle. I i
