Governor

Hi Rose,
I am curious as to why the governor of Hawaii so set on furloughing state workers for 16 days a year for 2 years and making state employees pay 29 % more for their health insurance. She is insisting University professors start doing it this Friday or she will force it on them July 1. What is wrong with her?
Do you see either things happening?
Love ya,
t

Work...

Aloha Rose,
Hope all is well with your studying! Semester is almost over... :)

So once again I am at crossroads with this job of mine. I am waiting to see if they will make me a store manager. Do you see this happening at all? They haven't interviewed me yet though everyone else has been moved into their respective positions. I feel as if the longer they take to make a decision, the less my chances are of getting this promotion.

Thank you so much!

Love and light-
Kat (klp 4/8/62)

~Henry David Thoreau

Spirit calls to me through my dreams and imagination.

Authenticity

"It is better to be disliked for who you are than to be liked for who you are not. How much easier to be authentic than to pretend to be someone you are not. What a relief just to be. How clear and simple. How honest. How real. The only thing you really have to share with anyone, anyway, is your own state of being."

A funny Man

Dear Rose,

It has been a while since I have been here. It was nice to see you the other week. Things are so amazing and it gets wilder still. I will tell you about it one day. Now that I am back, I am truely amazed at how incredible life is.

I am still trying to meet the one though. I met a funny man (RV 7/10/54) the other day. What do you think of him? He is in the entertaining business. Not sure if he is for me. He is a bit silly.

Thank you for everything. A big hug to you.

"If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain:
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain." ~Emily Dickinson

Thank you Ms. Dickinson, you've touched me from beyond, I am truly inspired.

Smiles Filled with Love

Dear God, Show me the innocence in my sisters and brothers, and in myself. Lift me above my tendency to judge and criticize. Help me live the best that is within me, each and every day. Infuse my smile with Your light, so that each person I meet today might feel Your love. Thank You, God. Amen

God speaks to me in the stillness of my heart.

Meditation
Dear God, I feel Your hand upon me and Your joy in my heart. In the sweet silence between my thoughts, I am peaceful. May my life resonate with You. In the quiet of this moment, I am listening. Your closeness is my strength and comfort. I let it be. Amen

Meditation
Dear God, There have been situations in my life when, at first glance, it seems that justice and truth have not prevailed. I know that there are moments of crucifixion. Yet, the story never ends there--the resurrection follows at the proper time. I now realize that the problem is my short sighted point of view. Help me look beyond temporary appearances to Your eternal truth. Love always wins. Period. Thank You, God. Amen

Waiting

No matter how things may appear after we have had a major challenge, no matter how hopeless our situation may seem, with steadfast faith, we watch and wait knowing that the dawn will come. Amen

Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa

Long Time, No Hear

Aloha Rose (,

I know it's been quite some time since I have visited the board. I have been going through alot but mostly because during Lent, I fast and pray for 40 days and 40 nights every year since 2004. Wow, each year I have such enlightenment. My ex, lc 9-16-61, filed for custody of our sons but God ended that and had the case dismissed. Will he come at me again about this issue? Why is he and his fiancee, kan 9/25/65, so hell bent on TRYING to make me upset? To say that I am constantly being harassed is an understatement. Will they both let this go soon? Lastly, is he working?

I am blessed with wonderful children but I can tell they're so confused and torn. I explained to them that although their father is fighting for custody of just our sons, I would be fighting for all of them. I explained that we both love them no matter what!

Always the Loving Mom,
Mobet (dlh 4-22-66)

P.S. I'm glad to hear that you had a wonderful trip and vacation. It's wonderful to get away!

Feeling of relief

Aloha,

What a very strange and exhilarating day.....Rose, I was in depositions for 6 hours yesterday with my sons father. You know...when he admitted he lied about the "Business Trip" he took in January vs it being a vacation... I felt so much better. It was like I was vindicated. My lawyer hit every issue right on the head and it truly showed is true colors. Selfish, narcissistic and vindictive soul. He claims to be a "Spiritual Person" I pray that he truly lets go of his anger.

Thank you for all your support. I am going to enjoy a few days off from work. We are driving to Williamsburg, VA and hitting Busch Gardens with the kids!

Happy Easter!
Jennifer

Life is Happening Now

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life." ~Alfred D'Souza

Affirmation
I choose to live fully, now!

Meditation
Dear God, I have tried hurrying through each challenging experience, as if somehow, there was a bigger & better something, just ahead. In that mode, I felt like I was merely existing, everything was a blur. Today, I choose to be fully present in each moment. Whatever the current circumstance, You are with me. Every day, whether joy filled or sorrowful; contains the possibility of a miracle. Life is now and I love it all. Even the sweetest frosting contains a pinch of salt. I choose to fully savor every morsel of my life. No matter if I am walking in a valley or along a ridge top, the journey is home. Today, I am alive, awake, aware and amazed. All is well. Thank You, God! Amen

Dear God,Thank You for the light of Your love which illumines our steps. Thank You for the love we share freely with one another. Thank You for providing all that we need to live.

scents

Hi Rose,
Some nights I smell rose(which I believe is my grandmother) and puakenikeni( not sure who that is). It is alway comforting. It helps me relax. Last night, I was having bad dream,I woke and cinnamon smell fill the room. I woke up and still smelled cinnamon but I know the apartment on the left is empty and the people in the right were not home..
Can you tell me who is bringing the scent of puakenikeni and cinnamon?
Love,T

Sustainable World Poem - Undepleted

*LOVE*

lyrics to songs in a million languages
laughter of children across oceans playing
light of the full moon reflected in all eyes
lunacy the shamans mystics magicians.

*STARS*

sky a blue canopy
suns feeding nurturing burning
sex in cities forests deserts and slums
souls yearning for reunification.
With a flick of the wrist, the Hand that spins the Earth spins me.

Buddhist Wisdom

Thus shall ye think of this fleeting world:

A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream;

A flash of lightning in a summer cloud;

A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream.

-Diamond Sutra

Listen

“Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard.”~Anne Sexton

Affirmation
I listen with my ears and with my heart.

Meditation

Dear God, Help me focus beyond myself today. Sometimes, I am so busy with my "stuff" that I miss the love that is all around me. Today, I choose to pay close attention to each person I meet. I open my heart and listen carefully--beyond the words, for Your voice. Open my ears to the Truth. Open my heart to my sisters and brothers. Open my mind to Your indwelling presence. Open my life to Love. Thank You God! Amen

Creating

"The work of creating is an act of love. The God who flung from His fingertips this universe filled with galaxies and stars, penguins and puffins, gulls and gannets...peaches and pears, and a world full of children made in His own image, is the God who loves with magnificent monotony. ~Brennan Manning

Affirmation
God is creating a masterpiece in me.

Meditation
Holy One, I am filled with gratitude for the incredible experience that is my life. I know that You love me--and have created me, just as I am. I celebrate Your on going act of love. You have placed a plan and a pattern for perfection within me. It is my intention and desire to cooperate and co-create with You, to manifest the highest and best of which I am capable. I release everything that distracts me from the life You have in mind for me. I place my shortcomings into Your hands and I am transformed. With confidence, I share my gifts and I bless the world. Thank You. Amen
