New Beginnings

Christmas is almost here, and a new year is about to begin. I love this time of year and find myself singing Christmas songs where ever I go. I hear laughter from friends exchanging gifts, from children playing and from co-workers on their lunch break. Lets take time this Christmas from the hustle and bustle of trying to get things done and from running here and there, and take a look around. Stop, and really take a look! We are all here on this planet, together, there is so much good in the world and sometimes we miss so much. Lets take the time to notice the little things that life has to offer, a smile from a stranger, laughter from a child, the perfect Santa Clause that is right in front of you. Lets, stops the worries, the fears and just be with each other. We are one, after all. Lets look pasted the assumptions, the judgments, and just except everyone for who they are right at this moment. Lets give to others for no other reason than just to give. Lets strive to have love in our hearts, lets make 2017 the best year yet! We can start by taking the time to just really look at the world around us, and share a little love with each other. May 2017 be the year of new beginnings where all of our dreams come true.

We were all babies once!

People are interesting, we are unique, we have different faces, bodies, colors, beliefs, thoughts and perceptions.  We are more different then you think. Most people view the world around them through their past experiences, from their families, culture, religion and environment. We form these ideas what the world looks like and how things should be. I use to see the world as hell and I hated people, all people, including myself. That is what I had learn from my past experiences. One day after questioning my beliefs, and perception of my world, I started to see thing differently, things I never noticed before; a hawk flying through the air, the wind blowing through the trees, the smiles from strangers, even the colors seem brighter. What changed? My perception changed, I remember a quote, I love quotes, that said "When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change" The world changed for me. Through all the horrors in this world, there is good. It is in us all, we just can't see it sometimes. One day while driving home, I saw an old, dirty homeless man talking to himself, the thoughts that popped in my head was, "he was once a baby". Was he loved? What was his life like that lead him to this point in time? We all started out with a clean slate, did we not? So, here we are judging, hating, thinking we are better than them, whoever they are. I hope you realize if you were born a Muslim women in Iraq, for example, you wouldn't remotely be who you are today. Do you realize that we created this world, your beliefs affect the world around you. It is your beliefs and ideologies that created hate. We were all born the same, and the only reason our skin colors are different is because where we were born. I now, don't hate the world we live in, I just want to make it better, one day at a time. So, my unique friends, how about we start by looking at our own beliefs and how that affects our world.

PLEASE Take Responsibility!

I haven't posted anything in over three years. Facebook did that "here's a memory" thing that it does and I started reading over a few of my posts and thought they were awesome. I haven't read them all yet, but will soon enough. I just wanted to say that I have been seeing so much "evil" in the world lately, I mean it has always been there, but it seems so overwhelming to me, lately. I am angry, but I realize that there is no one to blame but ourselves. Why can't we take responsibility, not only for our actions, but our perceptions on how we view the world around us. Don't you see that we, every single person, has made this world what it is today. So, those of you that just thought "I did not do anything" or blaming others, don't you see that you are part of the problem? We all are! Our words, our actions, the way we view the world as separate races, when in reality there is only one race, the human race. The way Republicans blame the Democrats and visa versa, the Christians blame the Muslims, the Muslims blame the Jews and so on and so on. Every person, politicians, religious organizations, the people that segregate race from the human race to black, white, red, etc. don't you see what we are doing to ourselves? No one person is better than another, but by thinking that, we become the cause of hate and suffering in the world. By thinking that my religion is the "right" religion that is one of the greatest causes of war and murder. Why, because that is saying everyone else is wrong, so that is Ok to murder on the behalf of God. Please look at your self, at what you think, and say, how you feel about everything I have said. Remember "Blaming" is one of the greatest sign that you are not looking in the mirror at who you really are. PLEASE, for all the people in this world, Please take a look at yourselves. I am begging you!!

"Along The Way"

I haven't blogged in a long time. Crazy! Things have been great, with a few hang ups along the way. Funny, that saying "along the way...." to where? That is the question. Where are we going? I have been a seeker for most of my life. There is a drive in me, a force, leading the way. Actually, it has been an amazing adventure. I have learned so much "along the way." but I realized that no matter where life takes us, "we are already there!" that means in spite of everything, your physical, your thoughts, your personality, your fears, and your everyday life, underneath it all you are already "enlightened", your already the light. YOU, are what you are searching for. I have read so many books, seen so many amazing speakers, events, and been to many groups. Even though most people know that the answer lies within, they still seem to be searching, trying to figure out what that means. What is the truth? Why, as human beings, do we feel the need to search for answers. I believe the truth is bigger than we can possibly imagine and we will never really understand what that means. My experiences of the truth is just a piece of an ongoing puzzle forever growing.
So.....................what I want from you is your piece of the puzzle, what do you believe?
