When you wish upon a star you feel good, right? You're not looking at that star thinking, this will never work, you're playfully feeling like it's a possibility! Hold on to that feeling! :)

When confronted we can choose to do something about it, wait and see what happens, or do nothing.  I've been told many times through the years that what I was doing was a lost cause... unless there was more support, more funds, more something... I shouldn't waste my time on that person, that problem, that tragedy.  I don't believe in waiting until the conditions are perfect or the majority have bought in.  There have been many situations that others have walked away from, while I dove right in and began the process of total involvement.  


I haven't won every situation.  Many are stories in chapters of the books of the lives of others.  My involvement was just a page or a chapter to try to help them keep their story going.  It's said that the squeaky wheel gets the grease.  To my way of thinking someone has to pay attention to that squeak before it's pointless to take action.  Thus, there have been some where I did indeed think I lost and was soon shown that there was a greater plan involved than that one situation.  Yet who are we to decide when it's won or lost?  Some situations involve faith. The Great Spirit can work miracles through the Hummingbird who shows the world that he still keeps trying, despite the losses and despite the odds against him.

Perhaps it is prudent to wait, yet perhaps your inner voice tells you that it is time for you personally to do something to help.  Only you can make that determination.


In the end when I have jumped into the fire,  I have always left  with a great sense of satisfaction knowing that I've done the best that I can do.  Whether it was too late to have the impact I had hoped or it was just in the nick of time, I did what I could.  It takes a great inner strength to do something that isn't popular when every fiber of your being screams that it is indeed the right thing for you to do! 


I find this video so synchronistic with my own viewpoint.  I hope you find it inspiring as well!

Remember, if you never try, you're sure to loose.  But if you do the best you can, you can look yourself in the mirror the morning after!   It surely is better to try than to do nothing.

Blessings

Never stop dreaming of your Paradise... and do what you can to make your life a Paradise. More often than not it's how you look at it! ♥

Choose to be sad, you will draw others who are sad to you.  Choose to be light and sweet and you will, believe it or not, find that there actually are some light and sweet people out there that are drawn to your energy.  Like attracts like.  From time to time... maybe have a bit of fun! 

You will find though, after a bit of time spent in the dregs of anger, seriousness and the futility of it all, that you are better fueled when filled with a bit of happiness!

Consider this....what makes YOU happy?  Then find a way to have some of that in your life!

May an Angel of Happiness be with you...  and remember... ask your Angels for help with this!  Skeptic?  The best way to prove I'm wrong is to try!

Peace!

Hold on, it's just around the corner.  What you see now was created in your yesterdays.  What you are creating now is just around the corner!  It takes guts to hold on.  When everything around you is storming, screaming and shouting remember this.... Let Go of that and Hold On to that which is just around the corner! Peace, Love and Light to you! *~*SD*~*

May we count the beautiful things more than those moments that are not beautiful to us.

Blessings to you and yours...

The Weekend Warrior's Secret

It's Friday evening where I am, and by now most folks are spent.  Tired of the grind, the 9-5, the week of whirlwinds and the pressures.  They yearn to get out into the world and do what they want to do, need to do, desire to do.  Spending the week in a controlled environment during the work hours leaves little time for ourselves with the rest of our "awake time" being used up for the necessities of life.

Deep inside us we have a secret.  We all do.  There is a prince or a princess in each of us that is just yearning to get out and sprinkle the light of our magic in the world.  Maybe you're a comedian, a techy, musician, writer, athlete, or another yet unannounced role that you keep mainly to yourself in your "down time".

Yes, you have a gift.  Something that you're inherently are good at and quite often don't even realize that you excel at.  Maybe life just didn't "test" you on that ability, that technique or that strength, and so, without a report-card,  or a bit of applause, you just go on with your life doing something else that you've learned to do. Perhaps you indulge yourself on weekends, and an occasional day off to enjoy the delight of your dancing, your meditation, your photography or other talent.

Then Sunday night rolls around and you tuck it away again.  It's time to be strong, to put up the front that the world wants to see... and on you go, with the greatest part of you tucked away, in secret.  After all, you're not really hiding who you are... you're just showing them what they asked to see, to the best of your ability!

Some Secrets are meant to come out!  Don't wait for the day when it's too late to do what your heart and soul yearns for!  Ask for guidance, read a book or three, find a mentor, work at developing your gifts and open up to the world!   It's been said that great talents should not be hidden, they should be shared.

With the state of the world today, doesn't part of you wonder what your special magic could do to help?  And... as someone I remember would say... who are YOU to decide who God is going to help with your gifts... leave that up to Him, you just do your part!  I have to agree!

Yet if you do not realize you have a talent, why would you share it? Here's an example:  I've had many, many precognitive messages come through in my lifetime as well as messages from loved ones on the other side.  It was rare to pass them on years ago because I was taught well to hide this ability... it was definitely a family secret! My Mom and I would think of each-other and were almost always right on the mark when the phone rang.  We learned to "trust our gut" to tell us when so and so was in trouble and call them to see how they were.  I was the one my Mom and Aunt would call for help with the Animals, because I had the ability to communicate with them.  But... it never went beyond that.  Sort of a playful family science.  I never honestly thought I was gifted, because I never talked to anyone outside of the family about it!

That was until... a few things happened, that made me wonder why I wasn't sharing my visions with the people they were about.  Tragedy might have been averted, a life changed, and so... as with most things in my life, the Great Spirit guided me and here I am, opening wide!

Here's to Secrets, and to allowing ourselves to come out from the darkness.  Let the Light use your talents!  Don't wait until it's too late to have time... there are no guarantees that you'll reach the average lifetime age, and there are no guarantees that you'll win the Lottery!

You'll never know how many people have been helped because you came out of the closet with your talents and developed and shared them.  Only the Great Spirit knows how many apples are in a seed!!!  What if you never plant it!?  No seeds planted produce nothing... such a waste when people are yearning for what you have to share!

What you can count on most, is yourself.  You know what it is, that secret longing to broadcast, to play up... your own feelings are your tuner, and all you need do is turn the dial a bit and tune in to your strengths, then share them!

"When there is a chance that sharing my secret strengths will help anyone... I'm obliged to try!"

Peace, Love and Light!

Miracles and You!

It's really quite simple...

Reach out

It seems that it has gone out of style to truly connect with one another.  Some will feel comfortable when communicating via email, the Internet or other electronic methods.  Some might pick up the phone and do that old-fashioned thing, make a call and interact with voice!  A letter in the mail today is so rare that it deserves to be framed when written, signed and sealed.  It's as though we fear the hand-written note might leave an imprint that is irreversible, while we'll trust a public internet with our innermost thoughts, not realizing that they could be accessible to the world! Some will actually hide behind their cell-phones and pretend to be doing something serious or intense when in fact they are dodging the human next to them.  It's the newest way of putting up a wall to tell others you are not available to them. 

But why could we feel the need to hide, to disconnect from the soul next to us?  Perhaps we're tired, overstimulated from the incessant need of others to communicate with us.  Perhaps we just need to stop and go within.  Not knowing any other method to "get away" from everyone that seems to be hounding us... we shut them out in the most polite way we know in this modern world.  We pretend we're communicating with someone else!

We're in a fast-paced world with extremes in every corner aren't we?  We might be greeted by a human being as we enter a business and we just blow right past them... we're busy after all!  We have the digital commercials on the TV at the check-out stand.  We walk down the supermarket aisle or in the big-box stores and have commercials looking at us and talking to us.  We can even check out in the self-service line and never have to actually talk with anyone in the store!  

But wait, there's more!

• Take the transit system and hide out on your laptop, cell, electronic book. 
• Go to the Bank and do everything electronically, or even more-so, never go to the bank... do it all online and only communicate via e-mail, often to an autoresponder!
• Social networking seems one of the few ways we actually find friends today!  We're so busy with our schedules and the struggle that we can actually just sit back in whatever our circumstances are, and put ourselves out there and find like-minded people that we find comfort and joy in communicating with. 

Music, Periodicals, Communication in general has surely changed... but have human beings?  


We elect our governing bodies without taking the time to truly understand what they believe in, what they stand for and what, beneath the speeches so eloquently written for them, they might actually do on our behalf if elected.


We spend so little time with our family that we've become a world of individuals who happen to be related.  The holidays we used to share in generations past are now a work-day for many.  We cannot find the means to share a few days here and there "in person" with them throughout the year.  The days of Sunday afternoon dinners around the table and a good intense conversation covering whatever a loved one needed help with seem to be all too distant in my memory at times.  Good heavens if someone knocks at our door... we're probably not home because we're too busy trying to get by in the jungle... or... we're hiding behind the door because we're just too overwhelmed to feel as though we can interact with anyone today.


It isn't that we don't want to.  In fact... I believe...

• That you want, need and yearn for someone who honestly and lovingly cares for you to listen to your current stories and help you find your way through them by sharing.
• That I need to see your face, touch your shoulder and lend an ear to feel as though I'm needed by someone for real, for more than the $ per hour I'm paid from 9-5 Monday through Friday.
• That you deeply feel as though you are a loving soul with so much to offer the world.
• That I deeply feel your kindness, your consideration and your joy when I'm with you.
• That you really would rather be spending that special day off with a loved one, whether friend, family or kindred soul, than spending it catching up on everything you haven't had time to do during the week.
• That I miss you and know that you love me, and want to share some precious moments with you in this physical reality that we've come together in this time and space to experience.
• That we.... are together even when absent from each-other physically.  That we.... are truly one connected by the magic of the Universal energy that flows through our atoms, our energy bodies and beyond.
• That we all desperately feel the lack of compassion at times in our world.  We are stumbling into one another, over each-other and don't understand how it came to this.  Our society has required this of us to survive, as though the hunting never ends... and the rest never comes. 

We are tired.  Our bodies are even extreme today, we're sick-worn-out, and out of shape or... we're thin-lean-machines and our thoughts reflect this because every spare minute we have is spent on just that... our machines.  We kid ourselves by telling ourselves that we're balanced... but are we? 
 

Body.... Mind.... Spirit...

Love... Joy.. Compassion...

As above... So Below...

As about us... So Within us.

Balance.  


I believe in the Miracle of that from which we come.. and that to which we will return.  
I believe in your ability to look at the stupidity of the lifestyle that has been super-imposed upon you and say STOP!
I believe that when enough awaken to the reality that life is a temporary lay-over in the field of eternity... we'll be okay.


There are no guarantees that if you eat your sprouts, watch your weight, never smoke, drink, etc. that you'll be here at 101 years old.

There is, however a guarantee from me to you... that if you take time from your busy life with loved one(s) repeatedly... eventually they will probably believe that you really care.  You truly want nothing more than to share space, time and experience with them.  


You see... it's not about you.  It's not about me.  And yet... your life is totally about you.  My life is totally about me.  We're here to learn life-lessons, to experience, share, connect, overcome, overwhelm and delight in the total bliss that brought us to this playful playground!  


We need one another.  It's that simple.  When we get that... we're sure to experience the depth of each-others souls and the height of bliss when we share our joys!  


Until we see this and practice it repeatedly... we may not believe it is possible.

But I believe in Miracles... and I believe in You!

Spirited

The young, The old and The Restless...

Cast away the old and you risk stupidity; Cast away the young and you risk loss of excitement; cast away the middle and you have an oreo with no center!
