Friendships!


Friendships!

What would life be without friends?  Where would we go if you did not have friends to visit with? Who would be there to listen to our secrets? Why not have an experience that could complement our existence?  When will we ever have to opportunity to embrace a once in a lifetime friendship? How can we acquire more friends?

The journey of responsibilities---work, home, children, paying our debts has keep us on a narrow path. To fully engage all our brothers we meet in life is a chore. We are all too busy. We all have many acquaintances in our lives--school, soccer, church and our next door neighbors.  When will we stop, get acquainted and treat each other with the respect we all deserve.

We are all gifted to make people feel the genuine "LOVE" that resides inside each and everyone of us.  It does not matter what Church you belong to.  Your political beliefs may differ from mine and that's okay.  We are all unique individuals and we were created to be different from one another.  That's the "BEAUTY " of it all.

One of my favorite mantra from my yoga workout video states:

"If we truly learn to listen to one another,
without having the need to defend yourself,
is where true peace lies".

There is a purpose for our "Life".  We are all empowered knowing that now is all that we have.  We can embrace friendly experiences that will bring happiness to our hearts.  In doing so, we will feel the "Joy" of realizing that we were given a gift of love and acceptance.  Be bold, welcome friendships, feel the peace, feel the love--ENJOY!

Fragrance of Loving!

Fragrance of Loving! I sometimes get a swift smell of the fragrance of loving .  My heart opens wide and there is not a thing in sight that I'm not in love with.  These moments are however:  very fleeting!  It comes and goes and some moments are so intense that all I see is my own volatile state. Today is a day of beauty!  I feel and taste the sweet scent of life.  I wish that this day, this moment, this second could last forever.  I wonder why this feeling is so intense at times and lesser at other times.  I noticed that when I try to recapture these moments on my own accord, I feel uneasy and unnatural. Then one sweet morning, I awaken to such "LOVE" and "KNOWING" that it's almost impossible to describe!  I get the sense that if only this would last forever.  If only I could share with all the people that I encounter, for we are all brothers and sisters.  But words won't come, opportunities are stifled and the moment passes. I'

Balance!

Balance I have a mentor that has taught me a valuable lesson.  She was having brain surgery and the scheduled operation was a month away.  Can you imagine that!  There was a lot of undue stress in that waiting period. She decided that she had nothing to lose and everything to gain if she would start having a relationship with God.  She didn't know where to begin because her life was focused on a successful career and God wasn't included.  So she simply PRAYED!   She reached out into nothingness and decided to have faith that God heard her. She decided there was a reason she was having this experience. The foundation of her life was shaken to the core. It was time to slow down and prioritize her life because there may not be more time for her.  She wanted to start Anew. Balance became the topic that occupied her mind.  She bought a planner and set new goals.  Goals that would have meaning--such as including FAMILY into her busy work schedule. She set time schedul

Dreams!

Dreams! I wake up each morning and decide how to start my day.  Is there an appointment that I need to keep? Is it bookkeeping time?  Does the yard need tending? What will be on the menu for the day?  I'm sure my day planner is no different that any other person starting their day. However, I wonder how many of us dare to DREAM?   How many of us speculate on living a different life, as a different person, in  another place doing what you love?  Dreaming is the start of that evolution! It's not to say that your life isn't perfect the way it is.....it's about experiences.  What would life be without our daily experiences?  A friendly "hello" to a passerby, eye contact, opening the door for anyone, complimenting one another, finding the good in all that you witness and feeling alive! We are all directors of our own lives and we can make of it anything that we want it to be.  In each moment we are always choosing.  What is it that you want to exper
