People are what I don't want to become. People are extremely open with their emotions, lacking a serious amount of self control. We're giving ourselves permission to be angry, sad, disappointed and unreal with what's going on upon the paths of this everyday society. We used to hold back, thought things out and came up with a different solution. Are we standing up for the right things?
What about this side of the process? The con artists and bullies that leave what we do in pools of doubt, shame and a serious lack of faith.
Thanks for being part of the conversation I am the Poet In The Forest. A children series I penned out in the 1990s. None of it would be possible if it wasn’t for this forest in South Charlotte, NC. I talk about it so much that I thought maybe it’s time you get to meet all that inspires me. Thanks for being part of the conversation
We're constantly talking about how fast life is moving. Yet we complain about change. It's going to happen. What will you do with your change today? How will you react to it? Will you embrace your change or run from it?
Good Friday! There are superstitions that come with this day of religion and spirituality. It's bad luck if you clean your house on Good Friday. Gardening and farming the same. So many businesses are open on Good Friday. One of them being Chic Fil A. They're normally closed on Sundays! To which I respect. Then in my journal a complete slip of the writing instrument I wrote but what about God Friday?
We can't stand on the sidelines picking out who we think will be better for the moment and situation. Let us learn from our paths while building new platforms of authentic outreach.
The calling is to help others embrace their own presence. Be it with a group or as an individual. No judgement. Creating community means loving and sharing.
It's finally here! The day with the indoor plants are set free in all things nature. These plants will have to readjust to the temperature, the wind, the sun and even the possibilities of plant eating bugs. The air will change inside our home. The experts say it will completely turn over because while indoors the plants helped to keep the air we breathe clean. Plants teach us so much about ourselves. Learning from them and planting newer ideas and experiences in your heart allows last winters moody swings to float freely away. Add an outdoor plant to your process and lifestyle of thinking.
A shadowy gloominess lurks within the forest this new sun. Normally I've got too much in the ways of rays of light. The forest has felt moody as of late. As if to be searching for something. And I often wonder if it's appearance is actually a reflection of where we presently stand.
Uniting in newer ways that bring art and success forward but done so in a way that teaches those wanting to learn how to build up their visions with courage and confidence.
Showing up to the performance, the expectation, the mountain and or the wall. Being physically there when your heart wants a different journey. A coworkers question came to me as being odd and almost overboard. But he's known for it. I'm a professional interviewer, therefore I feel there's got to be a time when I experience someone asking me questions. The question wasn't what bothered me. It was how I instantly went into asking myself how I was going to remain calm with the answer. The number one goal was to showcase how I forgave myself more than I carried it forward. His question? What's the angriest I've ever been?
How we act and react, answer and or ignore questions, the way we moan about or celebrate... It comes from the head or the heart? Which one is leading you?
So many paths. Which do we choose? It can't be based on choice or faith on call.
The voices we hear while dreaming are a perception, conjured by the brain. The stored valuation of an accessed auditory memory. But what if you could control what's being shared? Would that be sleeping? Do we do this during awake hours? More importantly, as a daily writer who openly admits I listen to the voices in my head while writing... is that the stored valuation of an accessed auditory memory?
When things don't go as planned. SpaceX 2 scientists played out the launch like true sports and new commentators. Preparing those viewing that things probably wouldn't end up the way most would like. They were prepared for the worst. In our personal lives most of us just walk away. They guided us along the way by saying how important it is to rely on the before and after effects of testing.
The challenges that feel more like a defeat and or attack. Yet once through them it turns out to be a scratch and not a cut. Have we given ourselves permission to make things bigger than what they really are? We need to stop writing the story before it happens. I've begun a process of creating fun zones. A place to let go. Be it 10 or 15 minutes with a pair of VR goggles or taking a simple Transition Walk. We had play time as kids. It should be the same for adults.
Forbes Magazine just announced Don't Stop Believing is the biggest selling single of all time. Without ever reaching the top of the charts. Bringing it together was a total group effort. Keeping it present in our lives today is a huge place of inner peace and growth.
Learning to trust with heart felt faith is a journey that's challenged then challenged again. It feels like everyday is two steps back with a side step in the middle.
The amount of time that's required to evolve into the acceptable you. My dog Jazzie instantly gets up to start her day. How far into the hours do you have to travel to finally accept your presence?
Blinded by the rising sun. My writing forced to stop. So often we use these interruptions as a way of getting angry or disappointed. When in reality it could be the universe teaching you how to walk and stop running.
We are in a space of time that feels unlike any other. We keep giving the decision to other makers that come across as high hopes but are false Gods.
