Happy New Year 2015

Writing the story of our lives in 2015 **Revised thanks to Spirit**

Our lives are the story that we leave behind us, as well as the combination of experiences that we share with others.  Not everyone has a Biography published as a top seller, at least not in written form.  Yet, our lives are most definitely impacting those around us aren’t they?  Whether we appreciate the interaction or not, those souls with whom we share our time either regularly, occasionally or once in a lifetime, are in the story of our lives.  Without others in our lives, we would not experience the full richness, whether it be comedy or tragedy or anywhere in between.   

It's funny how things work Spiritually at times.  You can be going forward when suddenly a stop sign shows up with alarm bells going.  It can come through another person, a place, or a thing.  You know it when it happens though, spiritually at least, because you feel that something isn't quite right.

There is no doubt among most of us, that we are today in a time of great change.  On that I think most of us agree.  What we will most definitely NOT agree upon is how we want our own lives to be in the future.  Most of us would like to have World Peace, to be sure.  Yet some will continue to put up roadblocks in 2015 in their daily lives without ever realizing it.  You know what this is like... you've been going along in your life in 2014 and suddenly, here and there, someone just feels the need to put up a Do Not Disturb sign, right there in your pathway!  As though you intentionally set out to do so to them, when in all actuality, Spiritually speaking, you have done absolutely nothing of the kind.

I won't say that you won't experience more of this type of thing in 2015.  The undercurrents are strong and there are those that will continue to feel unsettled in their own lives.  As is the case, it's always so much easier to lash out at others than to settle their own affairs.  I urge you to go within, meditate, go soul-searching in your own way, on such occasions in 2015.  For it is through your inner peace that you will better find outer peace, whether it is in your family, friendships, work or other relationships.

To write the story of your life in 2015 please consider:
1) Spiritual Goals
2) Physical Goals
3) Intellectual Goals
4) Relationships
in addition to any other personal needs, wants and desires that you want to create for your life's story

This is the story of your life.  Each day is a new beginning, each night the turn of the page.  May we all find what we are seeking, and seek what we truly wish to find.

Blessings,
Spirited

PS: As all of my entries are truly "Inspired by The Light", and not personal opinions... I occasionally have a sort of a time delay effect, where a message will come through just about the time I thought I was done putting it out there.  As was the case with this blog entry, it's been revised at the request of Spirit.  These are their words... I seldom make entries from my own opinions sake on this blog, as it is for their messages... not mine.  Peace, Love and Light to all, especially those that do not want it, as they are the ones that truly need it.

Magic Wands

The Good Witch had one, the Bad Witch too.

They both had this in common and powerful they were.

Not more powerful than you however, for just as they sent out what I like to call prayers, the energy was sent, and the waves of the Universe carried it forth.

Whether we call something one thing or another is of no concern to me. It is what we do with it that matters.

We are in the world, on a journey. Mine is a journey of love. With that journey there are some steps that seemingly shake me to my very core, for those that I love with all of my heart come and go... and my love goes with them.

Did you know that when you send your love out, it returns immediately?
The Love of God cannot leave you, for it is in all things.
When you pray for someone, your energy sends that healing,
and at the same time you are healed.

We all have magic wands. We do not need a stick or a ball or a thing, to use them. For they are not products of man, but of the Great Spirit, of God, of All-That-Is.

We are in human form and we are imperfect beings, yet when our prayers, our intentions, our daily steps are taken with Great Love for anyone, for all, especially for ourselves... we have the type of magic that is undeniable, un-matchable, and un-ending.

May we all find love in our hearts, strength from above in times of need, and know that no matter what happens, we can pull out our energy wands of magic and pray it up, send it out and rest in peace.

In Love and Light to one and all. Blessed, Learning and yours in Faith.

Spirited

Go with the flow, a statement that leaves a few words out.

It's like saying Let's go for... and not saying what you want to go for.

Be aware that before going along with the currents, 

one needs to know whose current they are going along with.

The Higher Power allows you to choose your way.

Be sure that you're aware that what happens around you,

affects you. When you're out of sync with that

it's time to change your direction.

Peace! *~*SD*~*

What the World Needs Now...

is Love.

New series of shows will be based on what so strongly I feel with all of my heart:

What the World Needs Now... 

For now, until more is announced this weekend,  I hope you enjoy this lovely rendition of Burt Bacharach's beautiful song.

Peace Everyone,

Spirited Daydreams

Bullying.

Bullying comes in many shapes and forms.

You're too fat, you're too skinny.

You're too smart and no fun.

The name rhymes with something funny so you're labeled that.

You're parent is a teacher, lawyer, whatever... so you're labeled.

You're different than the group of people that gain their power

by picking on the quiet ones.

It continues in adulthood you know.

There are still those that are so insecure in their own right

that they feel they must join the chorus of one or two or more

to talk about Joan or Johnny who is quiet or different in some way.

Rather than choosing to take the time to get to know Joan or Johnny, 

to find out what makes them tick, 

to try to understand them...

the chorus continues.

It's not bullying they would say, it's merely a fact,

how absurd, they say... that you have the audacity to 

say that I'm abusing someone, just because I'm 

pointing out their faults.

Obviously you are off your rocker too,

or you would surely be joining in the chorus.

For we are strong and knowing, 

while Joan and Johnny are weak and stupid...

or so they say.

One day Joan, long, long after

leaving this group of gaggling geese... 

takes her own life.
No longer could she bear the loneliness, or 

the lack of companionship.

You see, Joan had, years later, still...

the same recording going over and over in her head.

She was different, and no one liked her because of it.

They never stopped to ask her why her hair was different, 

or why she wore the clothes she did...

and while she knew that her hair was just lightened

naturally by the sun, and being the type of redhead she

was, it streaked blond, she just pulled within... and hurt.

Only one or two had been to her home and seen

that the small home was filled beyond capacity, 

and while they knew Joan was a good person,

they dared not speak out in her favor, for fear

they would also be branded.

Until... it was too late.

Johnny, however, after being scorned for his physical

appearance for years, took a different path.

Johnny became a successful business man.

In this office Johnny was king.

He was dedicated, hardworking, loyal and kind.

He worked for his clients as though they were his own family, 

and they appreciated him so much 

that they stayed loyal to him in spite of

a minor price difference.

One would see Johnny at every funeral, 

or, when he was not at an event, 

they knew he was working hard to help

someone somewhere.

For Johnny was driven to help others, 

because he knew the pain of being left by the wayside

while the gaggling group chanted the chorus 

of negative comments about him.

So Johnny worked with love in a seemingly

uneventful type of profession, just an average thing

one might say.

But when Johnny's time came to pass on, 

many wept.  For all the small things he had done

and all the love that he had shared.

Bullying.  

It's not only the obvious that are affected.

Choose wisely your companions

as well as the chorus of criticism's that

you join in.

Rebounding from the pain, 08/23 by Spirited Daydreams | Spirituality Podcasts

Rebounding from the pain, 08/23 by Spirited Daydreams | Spirituality Podcasts

Tune in to the Second in the series on "Life is Supposed to be Fun"
Airing Saturday, August 23rd: 11:00 am (EDT), 8:00 (Pacific), 4:00 (UK)

It hurts.  The loss you are trying to deal with so bravely, that no-one understands but you.  

It aches when you have any reminder of them.  A simple comment by an acquaintance, a time, a place, so many things remind you of the loss.  How in the world are you supposed to find true peace of mind and enjoyment in life?  You may be able to put on a good front, but when you're with yourself... what then?

Tune in as Spirited talks about Rebounding from the loss.  She knows quite a bit about this one!

P.S.: Some want to know...What does being a Psychic, an Empath, or a sentimental-type, have to do with it?  Oh, a great deal!

The dreaded "Downer" disease by Spirited Daydreams

Be careful not to get "infected" by those around you who carry the dreaded "Downer" disease! You know the ones I mean... The ones that complain under their breath, or flip the bird every 2 seconds, or use the "F" word more times in a sentence than ever is warranted? 

Staying positive amidst the manipulators, the addicted-in-denial's, and humans in general that aren't centered, can be a challenge. TGIF is, in part, due to the clearing and cleansing that we all need after spending more time around such people than ever is needed. 

Meditate, Meditate, Meditate every day, in every way! 

(And... walk away once in a while... no-one needs to catch that "Downer" thing.) 

Peace!

Life is supposed to be fun!

What the people need to know... Life is supposed to be fun!
 
My next series of shows on Blog Talk Radio will be dedicated to this topic.

Watch my blog for dates and times to come beginning in August.

Truly Inspired By The Light

with Love and Light,

Spirited

The key is...

Happiness... any age, any place, for any reason!

Happiness is not over-rated, if anything, it's under-utilized!

You can't fake happiness for long.  

It's contagious!

I once took a course that included smiling as part of

the homework.  It went something like this:

Put a smile on your face when you're around people

for the next week.  Next class, tell us what happened.

More often than not, the students in my class

all had great experiences!

Their co-workers, family members and others, 

who weren't used to seeing them smiling all the 

time seemed happier when they were around.

Sure, some had to throw in that comment "What are

you smiling about!"  We all said...

"Because I'm happy"...

Try it... be happy... it's your choice! :)

*~*Spirited*~* :)

Living in Love

Someday's we're up!

Someday's we need a helping hand from a friend, 

or a smile from a passer-by, or a special "Thank You"

because life can do that to us.

It can knock the breath right out of us 
so that we step back.

We stop, look, listen and want to 
just curl up in a ball, 

and that's okay.  It's life!

The best part of this time is when we have the love 
from a friend to help us get back up.  

The best part of this time is when we know 
that our lives are not yet over

just because someone left us.

The best part of this time is... 
finding a reason to get up again!

The best part of this time is... not waiting

 for everything to be perfect to take that chance...

We know, you and I, that no-one is perfect, 

even the size 2's or the 6 foot tall-dark and handsome.

We're all human.  In this together.  On our little journey.

We touch every life around us

 and we're only really in each-other's space 
for a short time

when you stop and think about it.

Life is how you take it, 

what you make it

 and not what they tell you it should be.

This is your story.... make it grand!

Ashes to Ashes...Dust to Trust

Letting you go when I don't want you to 

 

Here I am again, feeling this same deep ache...

You've gone and left me, with only the memories.

Just like the others that shared our special space and time, 

one by one, you've been called home.

Yeah, I know what's over there, and we'll all be there someday.

But right now I feel so much pain.

The tears that fall are 'cuz we feel so separate.

No look, no touch, no hear, no listening, no physicality.

The path we walked together always veered 

yet once again we'd find a crossroad

where we met up once again.

Your ending is your beginning and I know

you're back where you belong.

So for now I'll let the tears fall, as

I know you truly are okay.

'Cuz your back with all our loved ones

that transitioned the same way.

Thanks for stopping by

and letting me know you're okay now...

It means so much to me to have

that validation from you.

And one fine day when it's my turn

I'll meet you on the bridge I'm sure.

With her and him and them and all...

and we'll party with joy for the return from our fall.

For it's this reality that is not real, 

yet in physical shoes it's hard to heal

from the pain of separation, is why we fear death

in spite of the knowing that it doesn't truly exist.

There is no end, no beginning it's true

and our spiritual selves are what we should do...

I won't waste any time fretting or wanting to change

anything I've done or any moment in time.

I love you I do, each special one of you.

So help me to heal to get over the loss of you.

For I know you will visit and I know I will tell

special stories about you and share with others as well.

I don't mean to say that you should have stayed with us

for I know that is selfish and your own path here ended.

Just know that we're healing and moving along

but you'll always be with us to help us be strong.

Thanks for the memories, thanks for the love,

and for now... so long... and shine on us from above.

*~*SD*~*

Equality... are we there yet?

I'm not sure why we don't get it as a whole. The "fight" for equal rights is

nothing new.

The 1800's were filled with the Suffrage Movement.  Lucy Stone of 

Brookfield, Massachusetts was the first woman in Massachusetts to 

earn a college degree.  She and many, many others of like mind, 

joined the fight for woman's rights in a time when public speaking in and 

of itself was discouraged for all women, not to mention work, pay, 

treatment and the right to vote!  Not to mention the more spoken of 

equal rights for race movement.

We've come a long way baby... and yet, we've got a way to go.

Until we can look in the mirror and see our own imperfections before we

cast a judgement to another.  

Until we can sit around the campfire so to speak, and break bread with 

people that don't share our views, our belief systems, our color, our 

preferences.

Until we put love first.

The right to marry for all is fine with me.  Who am I to judge?  

Moreover, who are you to judge?  Two people in love is a beautiful 

thing.  

Love shared grows and when it's right, the energy from those two 

people who have a solid and firm foundation in their personal 

partnership will overflow and affect so many people you could not 

possibly count them all.  

We haven't got it all together yet and that's okay, because we're 

human, we aren't supposed to be perfect.  Perfection is idealism, 

not reality.

May we, who are imperfect, knowing that in our imperfection we 

can still share love.

May you, who feel less than equal, know that in the end, 

we are all one.

May they, who cast the first stone, still find unconditional love, in 

spite of themselves.

May the groups that seek to overcome, only do so with love as 

their cause, and with love for ALL, not just those that are 

members of their cause.

It often takes more strength for someone who is "different" to 

show their true colors  than it takes for a group of people who 

feel accepted by their peers and society at large.

Many years ago, when AIDS was just coming to the forefront, 

many, many people had not done their homework.  I recall 

hearing people that I had thought were intelligent people, 

saying that AIDS was just a "Gay" disease and that no-one 

else could catch it.  I instantly felt saddened for them.  

In their laughter and judgement they had missed the point.  

It could indeed be transmitted to them and it only took about 

10 years for all the facts to finally be set straight and I'm sure 

they don't look at it that way anymore.  At the time though,

they seemingly felt "superior" in their assured statements.  

They seemed to feel "safe" from "it".

People, please wake up.  No-one is "safe" from anything.  

Life is not safe, it's an adventurous exploration in the 

knowing of who we are, who we can be as people and who 

we can be as a collective 

consciousness.

Be Brave.... yes.... be very brave.  

Just because we don't understand someone that is a bit 

different from us  does not make them wrong and us right.  

Nor does it make us right and them wrong.

It is in our differences that our stained glass colored planet 

is whole.  

Share the space with love....

Peace

Spirited
