Group Meditation - You Are So Adorable

Hiya my sweethearts and assorted darlings

No one missed anything, I am gathering day and time zone data to organize this event.

We'll all have at least one week notice before we non-physically gather for our meditation group.

I think it's so adorable that so many of you thought it was now... I teach staying in the present so I thought it was really sweet that you interpreted it that way.

Still computing results....
Loving you a LOT
~R

Love you Rose! Funny he is 5.

Source

“Be prepared for adversity, and determine in advance that hanging in there through thick and thin will reveal your character.”
~Gary La Londe

Affirmation: God in me is my source and my security.

Meditation: In the holiness of this time, I can hear the spirit whispers of Your voice, sharing with me the promise that I am safe in You. My ego has been telling me “protect yourself”, but Your presence within me says “you are already safe, you are already secure in Me.
This is the voice I believe!

B's - Do not be afraid, you are safe and secure in the energy and love of whatever you hold Divine and Conscious. In courage is the flexibility to trust the change. Love, ~R

New Begginings

Hi Rose,

Well, Brandon finally completed his testing today. I got a little bit of the evaluation from the doctor. She said academically he is on target or above. Maturity, is has some inconsistencies. So it seems rather positive. I just don't believe that holding him back from kindergarten another year would improve his maturity levels. But again, I will haveto wait to hear what the doctor says.

Rose,
do you see the economy turning around soon?

Transition

“Any transition serious enough to alter your definition of self will require not just small adjustments in your way of living and thinking but a full-on metamorphosis.”

~Martha Beck

Affirmation: I am creating change by holding steadfastly to my spiritual goals.

Meditation:
Dear God,
Shifting my thinking is not the only thing that changes my consciousness. It is my steadfast connection to You. Your presence moves me to new heights. My responsibility is to hold my focus on You. Your spirit gradually sweeps away the old and brings in new awareness.
Thank You, God.

New Beginnings

Another terrible Migraine this weekend. This one lasted from Friday night through Sunday morning. Due to my fear of taking medications because of what happened to me in the hospital, I am reluctant. DO you think I should go ahead and take the prescribed medicines or do this a natural healing kinda way? I don't know why I started getting theses lately.

"We who have been born Buddhist, Hindu, Christian, Muslim, or any other faith can be very comfortable in each others temple's, mosques, and churches, praying or meditating together to create a spiritual mass of consciousness which can overcome our greed, hatred, and illusions."> ~Dr. A.T. Ariyaratne

~R

New Begginings

Thanks Rose. The beautiful thing about my ilistomy is that I no longer feel deformed, I feel lucky to be alive! I want to help people like me. Before my divorce I had so many idea and plans...they went to the side as well. I am going to start by developing a support group at my office. My company is huge and they love charities. This will be a good start. Then I will go from there.

More Buddhism

Aloha Vessels of Light and All that is Holy,

The First Truth says suffering exists. The Second thruth is that the condition for suffering is attachment.

Attachment has three components, Loba Dosa and Moha. Loba is attachement, greed for example. Dosa is aversion, hatred is the example. And Moha is confusion with ignorance as an example.

Nirvana is the complete absence of loba, dosa and moha.

The Third truth is the cessation of suffering and The Fourth Truth is the Eightfold Path.

The Noble Eightfold Path: Right View, Right Intention, Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness and Right Concentration.

Self Care

"I finally realized that being grateful to my body was key to giving more love to myself."
~Oprah Winfrey

Affirmation: I lovingly care for myself.

Meditation:

Goddess, Thank You for this magnificent body temple. Thank You for its wondrous systems and structures that support my life and allow me to see, hear, breathe, move, touch and feel. I bless each organ, cell and sinew with loving thoughts and healthy habits. I bless my entire body and its many interconnected parts. Thank You for this amazing container that allows me to experience and express life in this realm.

New Begginings

Thanks for the encouraging words. I will hope for the best....I will not disappear if it doesn't work out. I promise. I just needed to find my self for almost a year. I really do hope this gets transferred. I would like for things to be calm and peaceful. I am trying hard everyday to find peace within my self and I am hoping that it will rub off. Now I just need to get rid of PMS and I will like myself again! LOL What helps PMS? I have tried BC pills but they gave me enormous migraines. Terrible stuff. I want something that is natural.

On a good note. You know I have Crohns and an Iliostomy. I really want to get involved being a counselor in a sense helping others that are facing this type of surgery. I have been approached by my surgeon and my gastro doctor, and they have given people my number to talk. I love it! Is this something I should pursue full time?

Vision

"When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid."
~Audre Lorde

Affirmation: I am a powerful, passionate person.

Meditation:
Dear God,
Thank You for ideas and passions that lift us above and beyond our limitations.
Plant a vision of what we can do and be in our minds. Plant a vision of what Love can do through us in our hearts.
Hold us close so that we can move through our fears. Thank You very much.

Forgiving

By the power of Spirit, teach us how to forgive.
We release the past completely in order to live fully in this moment.
Show us the innocence at the heart of all beings.
As we recall those feelings and situations that we drag along on our life-journey, we expand our vision to include You.
We forgive ourselves and we forgive all others; for any word, thought or deed that was not loving.
We seek Your guidance and direction so that we do not repeat the past.
This is the very moment we begin again.

any thoughts...

Aloha Rose,
Hope you are healing well! And hope college life is good this semester. I finally filled out my application for LCC and will mail that out this week. Spring '09 here i come!

So, this person I met last month...remember? We are on our third date. He calls daily and a we also communicate daily through email. It will be about a month soon.

You told me when I ran into you at LCC that the next person I met was going to be a spiritual connection. It feels that way. We have so much in common on a spiritual level. He feels like a twin. I didn't think it was possible to have such a deep connection with anyone so quickly. The communication level is so open and awesome. Incredible.

Anyway, any thoughts? FLD(10/21/68) him, KLP(4/8/62) me

Thank you, Rose!

With love and light-

Hi Rose. Hope you are healing well!

My little one has his Kindergarten Readiness test coming up soon. I have so much anxiety, I cannot even tell you! I am trying to think of calm places and breath deep....

I want to fill you in on what is happening. My ex as you know has a very hateful side to him and hasn't seem to let go or even have peace in his heart when it comes to me. He tries to bait me into argument so he will have some sort of legal evidence to present showing I am doing something wrong to the court. I am always on alert and conduct myself in the best manner because he audio tapes me and I really cannot trust him yet. Since May of this year he has been working diligently to build a case against me for custody. Sole Custody. I tried to have matters of custody and child support transferred to the county where I live, because our divorce decree said it should go to the appropriate court where the child resides basically, but it doesn't specify where that court is in our decree. Anyway, even though my ex agreed to that in May he came to court and disagreed. Changed his mind I suppose. After that he filed for Sole Custody to have the case re-opened in his county and heard by the judge who gave me my lunch last year! Urgggg! I filed a motion to have the case transferred to my county because that is what that Judge ordered pretty much. The court date to transfer the case is October 6th at 1:30pm EST. If this doesn't happen I will have to now go to court with my ex for his filing of sole custody on November 3rd 2008. His main reason for doing this is because he says I will not speak with him. I do speak with him but I am unable to have an open conversation with him because he is always looking for a bait for legal purposes. How can anyone have a open conversation if you are taped without your consent. In Virginia it is OK to tape as long as one person is aware. That is all you need.

From all you know, from what I typed, do you think I have a chance to get this case transferred to my county? I am terrified that I will loose my son with my ex's threats for custody...because my ex is capable of so many devious things. I haven't done anything wrong. I am a good mother and I adore my child.

again his initials are: SYZ 5-3-59 mine are 1-3-68 JMD (D for maiden name)

Mother Teresa Quote


"Make every effort to walk in the presence of God.

To see God in everyone you must live your morning meditation throughout the day.

Smile at one another. It is not always easy. Sometimes we find it hard to smile at somebody, then we pray."

Daughter's New Apartment

My daughter will be moving from her shared apartment in Manhattan ($1250 for 1 tiny room!) to her own 1 bedroom apartment in Jersey City ($950 and in the good part of town, steps from the path train). She agonized over this because she will miss the convenience and energy of the city, although she would be saving money.

Can you see if she made the right move? Will she get into law school? I need your talent and wisdom. Birthdate 09/29/85, TPK.

Hope your ankle is getting better!

Some Buddhism

Om mani padme hum

Just before the Buddha's awakening he was meditating seated under a tree. In his austerity he fasted. One day a woman named Sujata came upon him in the woods. She was carrying some rice pudding which she had intended to offer to her diety.

Sujata looked at Buddha and thought he was dead; suddenly he slightly lifted his head. Sujata ran to his side and gently fed him the rice pudding. Doing this she saved his life. At 34 years old he enlightened.

When Buddha had awakened he travelled India with his sangha, a community of monks and nuns. In one village Buddha was offered food by a blacksmith named Chunda, who had also prepared food for the entire sangha. When food was about to be served Buddha told Chunda he wanted to eat the food prepared for the sangha. Chunda complied. The Buddha ate this food and became unintentionally poisoned. As the Buddha lay dying from food poisoning, at the age of 80, his sangha was grieving and angry at Chunda.
The Buddha spoke and said, "In this life I had two meals that I enjoyed the most. One was by Sujata and the other by Chunda."

Your Highest Purpose

"It is not selfish to be happy. It is your highest purpose. Your joy is the greatest contribution you can make to life on the planet. A heart at peace with its owner, blesses everyone it touches."

~Alan Cohen

Prayer Request

Hi my Boardies

Goddesses, remember last semester I fell and fractured my arm in two places....well, two weeks into the new semester "Grace" has injured herself again; not as seriously but I need prayers.

I seriously sprained my right ankle and it's very difficult for me to walk and get around.

Please pray and send reiki for my right ankle to heal quickly,

Please and thank you, love you,

I am realizing that living in the moment is the only reality there is when it comes to Relationships! Yesterday is a memory and can only haunt me if I allow it...tomorrow does not exist.

This is so powerful for me that it brought tears to my eyes!

Words of Truth - The Dhammapada

Hiya Goddesses
I will be sharing some of the wonderful things I'm learning in Buddhism class. I hope you enjoy them. So...the Dhammapada are verses of the teachings of Gotama Buddha.

Verse 5 : Hatred is never appeased by hatered in this world; it is appeased by love. This is an eternal Law.

Verse 24: Whosoever is energectic, mindful, pure in conduct, discriminating, self-restrained, right-living, vigilant, his fame steadily increases.

Verse 35: Hard to restrain, unstable is this mind; it flits wherever it lists. Good it is to control the mind. A controlled mind brings happiness.

ommmmmmmmmmm :) ~R

About your previous comment... I replied but I dont know if you saw it.

I think I was so devistated I just removed myself frm everthing that was connected to my ex. I thought I had the world in my hands, but I was being too arrogant. You are right about him fighting me. I say black he says white. He never compromises. I just don't get it.I am thinking positive! I have a wonderful outlook on life now. My youngest is going to Kindergarten today. I will send pictures!

Hi Rose,

Wanted to update you on my situation. I have to agree to have Kindergarten Readiness Evaluation done on our son. This sound so silly and his father will do anything to win something. Our son's test is September 18th 9-2pm. Ho do you feel he will do on this evaluation?

BLZ 8-8-03

This test will evaluate him and his achievements to begin Kindergarten. If he doesn't pass, they have asked that he be pulled out of kindergarten. What a shame. Really is.

Thanks,

Thank you so much the prayers from you and my fellow boardies for me and my children and please continue. I am living proof that prayer changes things because I am richly blessed and favored!

Moment to Moment to Moment....


3,000 Moments

Hiya my Cutesies,

I was talking to a dear friend this morning about Buddhism.

She said "There are 3,000 moments contained in each moment." I'm like WOW how cool is that!

Just reflect on that concept, it's pretty amazing. It's like each moment fans out like a multi-armed goddess.

Then I think okay, that's cool; how about that stuff I hear about unlimited potentiality? Why limit the moment to contain only 3,000 moments? Woah, that's alot to get the mind around!

Unlimited potentiality without attaching to any of it! That'll keep ya busy.

Have a great day.. love you all, ~R

Boyfriend's matter

ok so maybe ''look'' at my boyfriend: AA 05/07/1971 .....I'm: MM 06/11/1988

just one question: Is he suitable for me? .....because I can't even imagine my future without him...but the difference of age is so BIG!!! I don't really know what is waiting for us in the future....
what are your consideration about it, Rose?

kisses and love
Martina

To the Divine Consciousness

In this moment, I surrender all that I am, to You.
I seek knowledge of Your will for me, and the courage, faith and conviction to live as You direct.

Establish Your heart of perfect wisdom in me.

Paint a new picture in my mind, beyond my beliefs, fears, hopes and shortsighted perspective.

Your way is sweet and satisfying.

This is the moment that You have given me, with joy and hope, I place it in Your hands.

May Your will be done, in and through me now. May my being, be a blessing. So it is.

Action

Dear God,

Shake us and wake us from our slumber.
Re-ignite our passion for life and love.
Help us to dream great dreams.

There is so much we can do to change our world, show us how and where to begin. Amen

Tell me again, please ...

... that I'm in the right place and this adventure will be a success. I'm just not feeling the L.A. love .....

(And, yes, I know that it takes a while to get used to new places but my thoughts keep turning northward to Oregon <*sighs*>, which isn't a good thing when you're trying to make progress where you are ......)

P&L & wondering what the heck I'm doing here (LOL) ~~~


Kaye

Oh -- and where the heck are those BRITS ?!?!? I'm looking all over for them, but apparently they're avoiding me .....

positive thoughts on money

“In spiritual truth,we are all perfectly and abundantly supported,I now open my arms to receive and share plentifully.”

“God is omnipresent love,wisedom, and creativity. I am forever with God’s grace and love. I am completely supported in all ways of the love of God. I follow my Divine guidance along pathways of giving of selfless service, and receiving the support that God offers to everyone.”

I thought I would share these from Doreen Virtue

Beginnings

Hello Rose :) hello to all of you...

I'm starting to study for my exams....3 of them in September....but the most important things are: the beginning of my first little work (just to help my parents with money....they spend a lot for my studies), and my first BIG congress of politics.
I started to have an interest in politics just 3 or 4 months ago...I don't know if it will grow...I hope so, but politics is a difficult way to follow! :) My poor Italy....we have such big problems here...
Hawaii, I have always wanted to come....maybe one day :) it would be so much interesting!

and what about you, girls? (we are only girls, right?)

kisses and good things

Ad in paper.

Hola Rose!

How the heck r u doing? Hope you are enjoying the new school semester :-)

I saw this ad in the paper and was wondering if I should apply ... for the Office Assistant.

Charms Private Lounge requires (female) Waitress,Bartenders, Cooks, Office Assistant & Security Officers,Handyman for Sporting Lounge. Opening Sept 6th. Must have pleasant personality.

Now, I have a feeling it may be a strip club in disguise but I dunno for sure as they are illegal down here (but they still do it).

I placed an ad for myself in the Position Wanted section in another paper seeking an Admin. Assistant job within a Radio Station/Studio/Marketing Environment. I doubt I will get any response ... well serious responses.

My auntie foreign language school thing I'm not sure that's going to work out for me. She's depending on me though. My uncle has no openings, the girl decided to stay.

Elder Meditation

"Everyone has a song. God gives us each a song. That's how we know who we are. Our song tells us who we are."
--Charlie Knight, UTE
As we start to walk the Red Road and as we develop ourselves as Warriors, a song will come to us. This song is given to each of us from the Great Spirit. Whenever we sing this song, we will receive courage and strength not only for ourselves but if we sing this song for others, it will also help them. The song will give us power and make us feel really good. The song will make us see life in a sacred way. If you don't have your song yet, ask the Creator in prayer if He will give you your song. With the song comes a responsibility - the responsibility to act and conduct oneself as a Warrior according to your song.
Oh my Creator, let me live my song. Let my song honor Your way of life. Let me sing my song each day. At the end of today, let my song tell people who I am. I am a beautiful child of the Creator.
