Words Of Wisdom

I loved my grandmother, she passed on some great pearls of wisdom, and now that I am, I guess it’s my turn to pass on some things I have learned along the way, and perhaps give my children a lasting impression of who I am, not just as their Mother, but as a friend, lover, Daughter, Sister, Human and Woman.

Take care of yourselves, learn to love those things about yourself that make you unique as a human being. Your first commitment should be to your own physical, mental, and emotional welfare.

Always, no matter how difficult it may seem, follow your passion, Take those gifts you were born with, and create something beautiful, never try to live up too the expectations of other’s…You’ll always fall short within yourself, Just strive to be You, the magnificent souls I know you already are.

Forge your friendships carefully. Be the friend you would want to have. Friends lighten up the dark places we go sometimes, they stand beside you even when you think your all alone. Their love can be as unconditional as a Parent for their child.

Don’t forget to stand up for injustice, your voice is important for change. Be strong and brave when faced with injustices of your own, speak the truth, and in doing so, you change the world!

Never be afraid to show your Love, and to express it on a regular basis. Everyone, including you, needs to know they are loved but seldom get to hear it. Love is as important as the air you breath, for without it we would surely suffocate.

Never be afraid to cry. Crying helps you wash away old pain, it cleans your mind to help bring understanding to your grief.

Be good to each other, take care of the earth…and enjoy your right as a human to live on a Healthy Planet. Set an example, pick up other people’s litter…it’s like a smile, contagious when witnessed enough.

Touched By an Angel

We, unaccustomed to courage exiles from delight live coiled in shells of loneliness until love leaves its high holy temple and comes into our sight to liberate us into life. Love arrives and in its train come ecstasies old memories of pleasure ancient histories of pain. Yet if we are bold, love strikes away the chains of fear from our souls. We are weaned from our timidity In the flush of love’s light we dare be brave And suddenly we see that love costs all we are and will ever be. Yet it is only love which sets us free. Written by Maya Angelou This has an extremely deep insight into the world of spirit…only the amount of love we give, unconditionally, can raise us from this slumber that most are completely unaware of. Practicing God [ pure love], giving god, is the trigger to recieving god and is the only way to overcome the fear that guides us. For now, we sleep, until the dawning of awareness that the source and the key have always been inside. The kingdom of Heaven is inside you, and all around you, but we see it not. If someone tells you the Kingdom of Heaven is in the sky…I say the birds will receive Heaven before you..if someone tells you the kingdom of Heaven is in the Ocean..I say the fishes will receive the Kingdom of Heaven before you…but when you come to understand that the Kingdom of Heaven is inside you and all around you…you have entered wisdom. [gospel of Thomas...sort of]

The real damn problems

You know, this world is fucked up!! Let’s face it, and whose fault is it? Ours morons….We all consciously know that things are in chaos, and say to ourselves”What can I do, I am one person”….well start with picking up your own trash would be a great start, then maybe move onto learn how to walk…Why are you driving your car 2 blocks to pick up a quart of milk? And maybe Tim Horton’s should start giving money back on their coffee cups so I could stop picking them up off the sidewalk on the streets of Charlottetown!! And to the people who throw their trash out the window and on the streets of where my children play… Fuckoff! How would you like me to desecrate your front yard? I meet so many people that want to clean up the world, and yet see so many undermining their efforts because they are Socially Ignorant! And you know who you are!

You know maybe it does come down to this ‘Treat everything the way you would want to be treated’ , Trying to be conscious in a world that seems to have lost all reason is a tough job, and we are all in this screwed up place together! So the next time you see someone dropping their trash, say something, stop turning a blind eye to the things that are going on right in front of you! And maybe when you suspect some asshole is using his kid as a punching bag, you may want to call a cop, yeah… I know, even that system has it’s problems, but it is all we have. If you were down and out, would you not want someone looking out for you?

I’m not perfect by all means, but I do have common sense, which I exercise on a daily basis, as well as having a willingness to speak out when things are not status quo. One voice may be the voice that saves you…..
