Celebration of Love

Celebration of Love

"Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely, willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved; we love to love." ~Leo Buscaglia

Affirmation
I invite Love to transform me today.

Meditation
Dear God, How wonderful it is to focus on the Love that fills our hearts. Beyond the greeting cards, candy and romantic dinners, Love flows as a mighty wave of energy; changing everything it touches. We open ourselves to this river of Love and invite it to have its way with us. May love be evident in all we do or say this day. So it is! Amen

Group Meditation this Sunday

Aloha my Goddesses

This Sunday 2/15 is our group meditation. 5PM Hawaii time, see you "there".

Intention: Love the World and Everyone on it.

Change and Growth

Change and growth take place when a person has risked himself and dares to become involved with experimenting with his own life.

--Herbert Otto

Persevere

"At the beginning of the journey, we had boundless energy and made quick progress. But, as we move closer to our core, our hidden beliefs that live in the shadows and secretly call the shots become exposed. They try to convince the ego to bring out the heavy artillery and initiate a take-no-prisoners fight to the finish. What recourse do we have during this dark night of the soul? Let the ego fight. And while it's distracted with its business, let's take every opportunity to go within, to go deeper than ever before, until we're in heaven."

~Tami Coyne & Karen Weissman quote is from: The Spiritual Chicks Question Everything

Curious about the place I live in.

Hola Everyone ... HIYA ROSE!!! :-)

Ok a little sad subject but I was curious and it's been on my mind.

For some reason there has been a "wave" almost going on down here with regards to the crime increase and suicide rates this way. The suicide in particular down here because in January there was a total of 3 persons (2 of them within 24 hours of each other) who took their own lives due to depression/finances/loss of jobs etc. Such closeness of events haven't happened in my memory before.

I was wondering if you saw if this was a "trend" developing with our nation?

We also have a brewing pot of "cultural unrest" I think. You know Bahamians, Hatians, Jamaicans especially have issues with each other with regards to coming illegally etc./jobs going to non-Bahamians etc. We've had a few small protests and lil riots coming from the Hatian & Jamaican communities down here ... do you think things will boil over?

One Power - that's You!

One Power

"You can make a difference! You may be only one person, but one is all it takes to bring change. We call this the Power of One. When you have zeros you have nothing, but when you put the number one before the zeros, you have millions and billions. It is always the inspiration of one person that starts great movements of change in this world, whether these changes are social, political, or spiritual."

Be Still - Kinda long but really good

"Be still. Be still. Be still. God in the midst of you is substance. God in the midst of you is love. God in the midst of you is wisdom. Let not your thoughts be given to lack, but let wisdom fill them with the substance and faith of God. Let not your heart be a center of resentment and fear and doubt. Be still and know that at this moment it is the altar of God, of love; love so sure and unfailing, love so irresistible and magnetic that it draws your supply to you from the great store-house of the universe. Trust God, use God's wisdom, prove and express God's love."

~Myrtle Fillmore quote is taken from: Healing Letters

The Time of Your Life

“In the time of your life, live - so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the infinite variety and mystery of it.” ~William Saroyan

Affirmation
This is my moment to shine!

Meditation
Dear God,I step out of my old shell and into my expanded spiritual self. I trust in Your presence within me to move my soul into this precious present moment. Lift me into an awareness of greater joy and upliftment, elevated love and peace.
Let me make a contribution to the goodness of this world and so live my life to the fullest. Amen

Aloha Rose,
I hope everyone is doing fine in blogland. Rose, I hope your semester is going well. I'm okay. Very contemplative about life right now. A little down, but know it's all part of the cycle and I will feel better soon.

I broke up with FLD and it was not as hard as I thought it would be. It's not him I miss. It's having someone around to talk to and love that I miss. But the way things were with him and his situation, I'd rather deal with the loneliness for now. Besides I'm too busy trying to decide whether I want to stick to women's studies/anthropology or delve into the art field. My heart says art. Maybe museum curator or something.

This year is starting to look worse than last...lol! My car broke down and I'm broke! Bills pile up and on and on...it's never ending. But I just keep putting out one fire then moving onto the next. I hope it ends soon. I know much of it is my negligence. And it's keeping me from the real stuff I'm supposed to do in life. So yep, there are lessons there. I'm learning, Rose!

"Choose a positive thought. The conscious brain can only hold one thought at a time." -from a yoga poster

Love and light-

“However many holy words you read,

However many you speak,

What good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?

I Don't Know

I Don’t Know


I don’t know if I’ll ever see God,
my fervent desire since childhood.
As an infant routes her way
toward her mother’s nipple,
I nuzzle forward into my life
inching toward awakening.

I don’t know if this compelling desire
was born from the paint peeling room
where I grew up,
or from the other side of the door
where clear bliss awaits.

Will I see God then, when I exhale my last?
Will you be there to inhale that of me?
In my state of the unawakened
I just don't know.

Clean-Clear

When everything is clean-clear in your own mind,

nobody can create obstacles for you.-

Lama Thubten Yeshe, "The Bliss of Inner Fire"

Oneness

intoned in the distance by an invisible piper."~Albert Einstein

Buddhist Wisdom

Dwelling in kindness, a monk with faith in the Awakened One's teaching, would attain the good state,the peaceful state: stilling-of-fabrications ease.

Monk, bail out this boat. It will take you lightly when bailed.
Having cut through passion, aversion,you go from there to Unbinding.

-Dhammapada, 25, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
