BE THE LOVE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR

We (Working Effectively) can learn a lot from kindergartners. I have spent the last three weeks teaching (learning), giving(receiving),guiding (following) and protecting (healing) a group of five and six year olds. They represent our future. I saw, through them just how WE as adults become ...selfish, needy, stubborn, sexually insecure, liars and the list goes on...This list is comprised of attributes that cloud our self-esteem, peace, joy and love.

I am a loving person. I have learned how to dance like no one is looking, love like I've never been hurt, lied to, nor disappointed. The truth is that I in the past allowed people to cloud my light because I wanted, needed, or envied something about the arbitrators. I have FINALLY matured in LOVE. It started with changing my eating habits, re framing from watching too much tv, while at the same time reading and taking classes on Universal Laws and FORGIVING FAMILY MEMBERS FOR EVERYTHING and BLAMING THEM FOR NOTHING.* Next, that forgiveness had to extend to (would be) lovers, friends, employers (employees), including other cultures. What I know for sure is: Taking these( not so) simple steps ALLOWS Spirit to begin to remind me that as HER creation we ALL come from LOVE. GOD IS LOVE.

God ordained me to share my journey with those 18 people...who at the tender, yet teachable, stage of kindergartners already have experienced mammoth disappointments, discouragements, and of course discrimination of all kinds...MOSTLY starting with FAMILY and other people who look like them. It was sad to hear children talk about how they have never seen their daddy, how they came to school without anything to eat, sad because their cat died and nobody noticed..these are JUST A FEW of their heart wrenching experiences. I was glad I was there to give them HOPE, ENCOURAGEMENT and LOVE. I believe seeds I planted into them WILL, HOPE and SPIRIT will reproduce in order that they too will dance like no one is looking and LOVE LIKE THEY NEVER BEEN HURT.

I just wished someone like me had reached out to many of the adults I meet who are still hiding a little kindergarten's unrequited love.

One Flew Over the cuckoo nest...
Voluntarily playing the victim

One Flew Over the cuckoo nest
Enjoying controlling others

One Flew Over the cuckoo nest
Blaming a 15yr old for your bad behaviour

One Flew Over the cuckoo nest
Living in the bottle

One Flew Over the cuckoo nest
killing yourself

One Flew Over the cuckoo's nest
Letting the insane lead you...

When the RIGHTEOUS experience difficult times
they are NOT in TROUBLE;
they are going THROUGH a TRANSITION.
Its a TIME to put what's out of Order IN order.

THE COLOR GREEN...RANDOM THOUGHTS

Green is my favorite color ...it looks fabulous with brown, yellow, blue, red and orange... just to name a few colors. Green is one of those colors that seems to go on forever..it doesn't seem to repeat itself and when it does it seems to stand up as unique!

Check out nature, the trees, grass, certain fruits and vegetables that are the color green...The color seems to invites you in!

Hospital is not my favorite place to visit. The colors are somber, unimaginative and uninviting...therefore, I try to stay away from hospital. I wonder what would happen if hospital added a vibrant shade of a green in every room and a vegetable garden on its premises.

Maybe that's why friends and family of the one in hospital bring flowers with lush green leaves.

What's That Odor?!

I can remember as a youth growing up, being addressed on a regular basis,

with "Oh you must think your sh*t don't stink". There were a multitude of reasons for the question/statement/insinuation...

1. I walked around in my own little world, therefore, it was common for me to walk right pass people as if they were apart of the air...


2. As a member of my family clan, it was mandatory that each member (especially youths) excel at something, read everything and communicate with authority


3. I was very particular about a lot of things including what I consumed...

Little did I know that like so many other public opinions that remark had less to do with me than those that were making it. Our feces, isn't suppose to stink. Our breath is not suppose have a bad odor. Body odor should have an earthy pheromone scent to it. Maybe, that is why many are drawn to scents such as musk, white sage and pheromone these and other odors make us feel good, make us want to snuggle up close and just drink in the person's aroma.

On the other hand, how many of US have entered a bathroom after a user and wanted to throw up, because of the foul and putrid order that was left behind...all too often WE begin to think of this order along with bad breath and body odor as normal and therefore we spend thousands of dollars buying products to disguise the offensive odors. Oh by the way, that offensive odor is in part coming from foods in your digestive system that have NOT digested...You know foods like over-processed fake foods, white sugars and starches and hormones induced meats.

Save yourself some money not to mention chemical induced headaches..and begin to drink lots of water, eat raw(colorful salads) at least once a day and roughage type fruits.

So that the next time someone say to you, "You think your sh*t don't stink", you can remarked right back.."I know my stuff is tight...You want to take a whiff.

As a Baby Boomer, I can remember lots of summer outdoors activities minus air conditioners. Today when I talk to baby boomers (and others), about summer activities, the conversation usually starts off with "it's too hot", ....and... ends with "I'm going back to my air condition home". In these days of 90-100 degrees and humidity of 50% and higher, modern Americans have become prisoners to air conditions...which means breathing artificial air, less outdoor activities such as walking around the track, or just sitting on the porch....if the activity is not in an air condition environment most Americans are just not interested!

My concern is how "it's too hot" thinking can lead to weight gain, swollen ankles and/or a increase blood pressure. Therefore I submit...fight back! Try...

• drinking at least a liter of quality water first thing in the morning, before eating anything and while the temperature is still cool...(around 6-6:30A.M.)


• eat water-rich foods...such as watermelon, citrus, beets and spinach


• swim


• open the windows and dehumidify the air. I actually water-spritz the air throughout my house/ car. A very sensuous and exhilarating feeling to have the intermingling of water and hot air!
• close mini blinds during the time when the sun is highest in the sky around 12-4P.M.
• Above all, tune out negative HOT talk on the t.v., computer and radio! Opt out for cool jazz, snow-cap mountains movies. THINK COOL


• Reduce intake of salt, sugar and meats.

Now get out their and show hot and humid weather who is boss (LOL)

SOUL Food

In a world that seems complicated at the very least and conspiratory at the other end of that thought spectrum...I am reminded to keep it simple...and the BEST way to do that is to eat that which will feed my soul.

I pinned, this poem while I waited for Mr.Wonderful(at that time) ...He was taking me to breakfast; while waiting for him to arrive at my door, I became anxious....determine to relax, reflect, and let go... I focused on what I truly desired. Peace.


SOULFOOD

Serve me up, pile the portions high.

My taste buds are salivating with anticipation...
I am mentally choosing from the choices.
Serve me up! ...Pile my portions high.
Don't skip on that which is richest

Do be generous,
for everything looks so delicious.
Forgive me if I appear greedy
but for soulfood I am needy

My soul craves respect, seems it satisfies my self-esteem
My soul nourishes on Truth it quenches my thirst..it must come first..
My soul hungers for love that energizes without compromises..
So pardon my lack of delicacy; but this is a 411 emergency!
Forget the hamhocks and sweet potaote pie
Instead, make mine soulfood delight
Serve me up and be sure, to pile my portions high

HEALTH CARE REFORM Part 3

Our bodies are our temples that function from the inside out. Our body systems (all nine) collaborate, integrate and synchronize based on the individual needs of each part. The smooth internal functionality depends on whether or not, we view our- selves as spirits having a human experience or just human beings having a spiritual experience. For Example, when rising first thing in the mornings do we bathe our blood , organs, muscles and cells with a minimum of 16 ounces of water? Do we ensue a healthy glow by exercising our hearts, lungs and brain, before putting on cologne, make-up and fancy clothes? Those lips that we love to cover with lipstick, chap stick and oh yes, lots and lots of meaningful kisses; but before that, do we partake of fruits, grains, nuts and vegetables? Do we remember to supplement with organic apple cider, vitamin C and flax seed oil,...?





Health Care ReForm is the BEST thing that could have happen to us as a country because it has awaken enlighten minds to a higher health consciousness and accountability. Whether WE are for or against the particulars of the proposed preliminary health bill, We (working effectively)have to OWN up to how well WE are managing OUR own essential health. To the uninitiated, it looks like CARE when those of US pontificate throughout the media, organize marches of opposition and scream insults at and about this current administration. However, how we truly feel about this issue will be written on our face, gait and/or checkbooks.

Remember: When pointing a finger three are pointing right back and that thumb looks like it is accusing the most high.

Htep

Health Care ReFORM begins with US (Part 2)

It is sooo easy to blame a government, high cost of medicine ....others for why WE are sick, in pain or stress; but consider this...who is ultimately responsible for what you eat, how you treat your body or where you spend time? Huh?

Our Mind Body and Soul are our responsibility, whenever I want to point the finger... I recite a little poem that was sent to me by an online Tagged friend. It goes something like this....

I Will do MORE than believe
....I WILL practice

I Will do MORE than forgive
....I WILL forget

I Will do MORE than teach
....I WILL inspire

I Will do MORE than care
.....I WILL help

I Will do MORE than dream
....I WILL work

I Will do MORE than give
.....I WILL serve

WOW! If WE programed OURselves to think like what this poem is suggesting, Health care would not be such an hostile debate because the underline cure for a true health care reform is to eat FRUITS, VEGETABLES, GRAINS, NUTS & WATER, Be PASSIONATE about what we do to EARN money and DO UNTO OTHERS AS WE WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO US.

Health Care ReFORM begins with US (Part 1)

How WE think of OURselves is more important than how others think of US.

Therefore, what we feed our liver, adrenal glands, and heart is crucial. We feed these vital body systems by what we hear and see, as well as what put into we OUR mouths . If you want to change your situation start with what you feed your inner-systems.

What WE Resist Persist

I like acronyms. They remind me of my commitments, resolve and /or aspirations. I have listed a few of my favorite. I hope they bless you as much as they have me and by all means share some of your own acronyms with US (unifying spirits) that have gotten you from point A to point B.



What have I fed my Soul?
A-ttention
T-ime
E-energy



Is Procrastination Holding me back?
F-eelings
A-ction
S-peech
T-houghts



I determine my own destiny
F-ocus
A-ttention
T-ime
E-nergy

Along with these mindsets I have a plan and purpose if you're interested let me know would love to share the journey with you

Open Communication

Good Morning Dearest,

I couldn't have said it better...in fact this IS the message of my blog...I will post it as my entry for the week.. I'm glad I waited on the universe to send me this week's message (innerstanding) POST Script: It is evident that WE (working effectively) must close any generation gaps...I immediately related to Getting "it" on as a call to universal empowerment; but then again I am a child of the 60s..so is "crazy" George Clinton....Continue to seek wisdom from those who.." have been there and done that"..and add your OWN flavor

143 Peace, Prosperity, & Light

Good Thoughts, Bad Thoughts

Travel like a king
Listen to the inner voice
A higher wisdom is at work for you
Conqering the stumbling blocks come easier
When the conqueror is in tune with the infinite
Every ending is a new beginning
Life is an endless unfoldment
Change your mind, and you change your relation to time

You can find the answer
The solution lies within the problem
The answer is in every question
Dig it?
An attitude is all you need to rise and walk away
Inspire yourself
Your life is yours
It fits you like your skin

The oak sleeps in the acorn
The giant sequoia tree sleeps in its tiny seed
The bird waits in the egg
God waits for his unfoldment in man
Fly on, children
Play on

You gravitate to that which you secretly love most
You meet in life the exact reproduction of your own thoughts
There is no chance, coincidence or accident
In a world ruled by law and divine order
You rise as high as your dominant aspiration
You descend to the level of your lowest concept of your self
Free your mind and your ass will follow

The infinite intelligence within you knows the answers
Its nature is to respond to your thoughts
Be careful of the thought-seeds you plant in the garden of your mind
For seeds grow after their kind

Play on, children

Every thought felt as true
Or allowed to be accepted as true by your conscious mind
Take roots in your subconscious
Blossoms sooner or later into an act
And bears its own fruit
Good thoughts bring forth good fruit
Bullshit thoughts rot your meat
Think right, and you can fly
The kingdom of heaven is within
Free your mind, and your ass will follow

Play on, children
Sing on, lady

Living in the NOW (Newness of Wisdom)

Living in the NOW (Newness of Wisdom)

..as a child I rushed to live forever;
only to be turned around in the womb,

...my teen years were lean years;
reaching high while dancing in summers' bloom

Adulthood, ushered me into the presence of my Spirit.
I found my breath
in return I gave Life...which continues to reward me with patience; love and wisdom...

therefore, You are welcome to my here and now experience
...together we will explore and grow
while leaving the world so much better... than before

Thank YOU

Like many of you, this has been a rigorous week, for me. During such times, I have come to the inner-standing that during such times the most powerful thing I can do is to simply BE STILL, BREATHE and GIVE THANKS....

"No Matter What..." LisaNicholas

My yoga instructor of YogaHive.com is known for many wise sayings, for instance, "all matter go through one of three phases continuously..

1. creation

2. preservation

3. destruction

This week typifies the truth of Mechelle's words. From personal to family to neighbors to nations to the world we have witness the shifting process of destruction, to creation, to preservation! Haitians will survive the destruction of their home. Those of US(unifying spirits) who see opportunity through destruction will be apart of the creation process and our (organization, unification, righteousness) involvement will preserve us..

No Matter What WE (working effectively) will dream
No Matter What WE( working effectively) will love
No Matter What WE( working effectively) will win

Show me while you tell me

What we have, began with our THOUGHTS.

If we do not control our thoughts, how will we control our actions or emotions?

What is the difference between what we get and what we envisioned? How many times will 60 go into 10,000 hours? When will I overcome obstacles and experience more joy? These and other such questions were going through my mind the other morning as I was going through some very intense yoga routines. While I think that they are great questions the problem was that I was NOT focus. I allowed my mind to wonder; thus, me, myself and I were NOT on one accord. Committing to getting up an hour early to do meditation yoga is only working effectively for me when I am 100 percent in it. How many of you can feel me on this one? So often we are just going through the motions and then we wonder why we don't have the results (things) we envisioned. Its not enough to say tomorrow I am going to get up at the crack of dawn to exercise my body( trust me on this one). In addition to following through on a commitment, One MUST serve notice on ones thoughts. GET ON ONE ACCORD. Here's the plan.
The night before:
eat my last meal at least 4 hours before retiring for the night.
pray to my creator
turn off EVERYTHING while I sleep
These simple BUT necessary practices are KEY to turning thoughts into the things that we actually intended. Why? The brain is an organ made up of living cells. It controls the functions of the body. When we eat live foods, get quality rest and exercise our spirituality, we are energizing our thoughts in a most productive manner. Think about it. We give ourselves permission to have what we want, when we:
take pride in our divinity
eat to live
master our thoughts (at all times)
I believe when we ask anything of ourselves; our innerstanding is saying show me while you tell me.
