For years I have practiced the art of remaining centered in the face of adversity.  In the last few months, I have stepped up that process in order to keep up with the on-going wave of negativity.  My spiritual modalities is a combination of various techniques I have learned over the years.  I use them three times daily (sometimes more)  in order to remain calm and centered.  And please know that what I am writing here is coming from a place of peace .  As I absolutely refuse to allow such energies as hatred to remove me from my place of joy.  I consider myself a tolerant person.  A lover of peace and harmony.  But when it comes to bigotry and hypocrisy my tolerance is non-existent and all gloves are off.  Does this make me worse than or less than those I oppose?  No.  Though the severely stuck on stupid would have you believe otherwise.  While I am not happy with the flooding of refugees into our country, I know ...

Here some of my First Christmas sig tags for 2015

hypocrisy:the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense. If only those who fight so diligently for refugees would use those same energies and passions to fight for the homeless right here in their homeland.  I wonder where is their courage when it comes to putting an end to the suffering of  those who reside in their own home state and city? Where is their  compassion when it comes to those who fought for the very freedoms we all enjoy?  I wonder...How can they can so easily turn a blind eye to the struggles and tragedies of those who live right the re in their very own neighborhoods, cit ies and sates and see so clearly the hardships of others?  Where is the sense of justice when it comes to the elderly here in the United States?  Where is the passion to fight for the rights of our elderly to live out their golden years without having to choose between much needed medicines and ...

Some items are in high demand at the food bank and you may not realize it. Because they aren’t essentials, the staff doesn’t publicly ask for them. A survey on Reddit.com asked volunteers what items people would be most appreciative of and we’ve listed the top 10 below. If you’re looking for an easy way to help out, pick some of these up while shopping and drop them off at one of our area food banks. 1. Spices. Think about it. People who rely on the food bank eat a lot of canned food, rice, oatmeal, white bread, etc. They love spices. Seasoned salt, cayenne pepper, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, oregano, basil and so on. 2. Feminine Products. Can you imagine being worried about affording these? Pads, tampons, panty liners, etc. Recommended: Buy in bulk at Costco for donating. 3. Chocolate. People don’t need it, but think about being in their shoes and how nice it would be to be given a chocolate bar or brownie mix along with your essentials. 4. ...

Today I close the door to the past, open the door to the future, take a deep breath,step on through and start a new chapter in my life.   - Unknown In order to step through the door of new beginnings questions must be answered .  And from those questions  decisions must be made.  The most important question I ask myself  is...what am I willing to leave behind? To be genuinely happy, am I willing to let go of all the unhappiness that I have carried all these years?  Am I willing to leave behind the judgments of others and the judgements I hold for myself? What would living  a life free of judgment and self condemnation truly feel like to me?  Am I willing to leave behind the fears associated with these judgments?  Better yet, am I willing to leave behind the fears of having nothing to take judgment's place? What am I willing to leave behind?  What would it feel like?  What would it look like?  How would I a...
