STORM ..thought on Sandy from November 2012

so calm in the midst of Sandy."

 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 keyboard, raised your fin

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."

The Attack on Womanhood by " so gone" women

I AM outraged and sickened by some of the behavior I have seen by women online in the recent few days. Guess what women? We use social media to post and share at greater portions and frequency than our male counterparts and we could use it for good more so than anything else. It and we are all- powerful tools in social evolution and wellness of our world. Following is my open letter crafted after seeing how some women have chosen humiliation over humility using social media this week and likewise it is for some of you women who are in my opinion "so gone": Dear YOU, And we as women are crafted to be compassionate creatures; allegedly with a mammalian instinct to nurture and protect; not just children --but the Divine intention is for Shakti grace; so we are to protect that which is vital and life affirming amongst each other as women. This is important ESPECIALLY as it applies to other women and children who depend on us to get here and thus impact perception of all hu
