STORM ..thought on Sandy from November 2012

so calm in the midst of Sandy."

by Adrienne A. Wallace on Saturday, November 3, 2012 at 8:37pm ·
 I was asked today how it is that I can be "so calm in the midst of Sandy."

My answer: First of all, human reaction is the biggest storm.
I contemplated safety and I know what that looks like for me.
I talked to the elements of nature that surrounded my property.
Yes, I talked to them. Anyone who knows me personally and well knows how it went down.

Mother Nature takes the stage every single day and the same peace I have when she casts a rainbow is the same peace I held when trees fell, winds roared, and" electricity"  (not my lights) went out.

I had no worry or anxiety towards anything different. A storm does not define me and I am a force of nature just like the wind, the trees, the earth and I decided to be firmly rooted before any elemental change was predicted.

My focus has been safety, peace, and this moment. I cannot change yesterday. I have little control over tomorrow. My mindfulness in the present moment my self at peace is the force. I will help who and how I can and I will do it all PEACEFULLY.

I do not quicken to identify with tragedy and loss because I AM NOT LOST.  I identify with BIRTH because I WAS BORN and whatever may come, I and all survivors no matter their course of survival are supposed to be here. We will cope, some will pray, others will change, blessings and grace may take on new meaning for many, some will remain the same and ALL OF US WERE BORN just not all before the storm.

In the midst of the STORM I created, I worked on things that I was born to do. I did not panic and I do not panic now.
If a fate towards ascension were to befall me, I would have been found doing something I was born to do.

In the aftermath, I  have done and will do what I can to help who I can because I was born to do that too.

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 k...

The Things I will do Before You Are Gone....

Fully aware of how precious life is and remembering the tender, exciting and amazing muses that I have been blessed and no doubt favored to know.. I wrote this list. Enjoy it. Create a life you love. The Things I will do Before You Are Gone.© By Adrienne Wallace (June 2008) 1) I will tell you, "I love you more than anything ...except GOD." 2) I will squeal with delight when you have achieved something new or gotten more of what makes you happy. I will stay as you pursue your delight and be a part of you capturing it. 3) I will steal your pillowcase when you are out of the room and replace it with a fresh one. I will put the one I steal on my pillow so I can smell your essence when I nap or sleep. 4) I will hold your hand even if you were 'just my manicurist' and look into your eyes and say "Thank You"... Maybe you're touching hands all day, but I want you to remember that mine appreciates yours. They are so warm 5) I will wish you t...

Where Did It Go? The question that comes when ownership is lost.

" Where Did It Go? " This is a common question asked about time, goodness, old regimes, and old relationships, memory and other than that... money and misplaced keys. Where did it go? We hear this amongst those of us who have not set a strategy and intention for what we have. This also the question that comes particularly from those of us who become all too confident in what we have but do not own. Ownership of one's talent,work, innovation, relationships and contribution is either an old or new concept in many places. What is encouraging is the ability to list our criteria for ownership and then be honest about what we truly own. Here are a few that I was thinking of today: Ownership of material things - You paid for it , don't owe anything for it to anyone Ownership of relationships - You tell the truth, engage with grace, and express mutual respect without excuses or references to what does not apply to the person you are relating to Ownership of innovation -...
