Dream of all that can be


~~~~~~What do you dream about at night? When you lay in the comfort of your bed, under the warmth of its coverings, what flows through your mind? Do you think of someone special? Do you pray to the father above? Do you send a prayer to a lonely soul somewhere across the world? Do you breath deeply and count your blessings? Do you worry? Do you think of your children's smiles and feel loved? Do you think of all the possibilities of life and how beyond us it really is? When I dream of Gods work...the sun, stars, the moon, air, water, flowers, animals, people, emotions....I catch a glimpse of the variety and intensity of this amazing life. Gods world is filled with life, even in spots that seem deserted and unreachable. With all the all the activity that is going on , the order in which life happens never ceases to amaze me. So when things do go wrong, I think......that's the way it is suppose to happen. I may have to make adjustments, but deep down, it is where life is guiding me to that matters. And when I think of it, we are all part of that magical order of Life, so its a wonder in its own the possibilities we can achieve from it. So tonight, Dream of all that can be!~~~~~~~

A Perfect Day

Oh what a splendid Autumn day this is. The autumn foliage is quite fetching at this time of year, or so I have been told. Its a wonderful time to bake those pumpkin pies, decorate with the kiddies and prepare for a candy overload. But for me, its a lovely time to take a warm bath, light a single candle and watch the World Series. ahhhhhhhhhhhh, can you say relaxing? I can almost smell a fire burning in a fireplace about now......mmmmmmm, what a perfect way to spend a day!

Why I don't vote


Well, it is almost election day and I cannot think of anyone who will be more happier than me to see it over with. It is so bad that one cannot turn on the TV and see something other than politicians beating up one another as if it were a playground on a schoolyard waiting for a fight!The negativity is so bad, that no wonder our kids are so confused on how to treat each other. No wonder there is tons of bullying that seems to be endless. The politicians seem to be setting a really bad example. But you know, the bad thing about it all is the amount of money being spent on politicians promoting "themselves" and "attacking" others. Instead of ads, why cant that money be used for the good....like help the homeless, improve education, environment, the economy.......etc...??? Why do politicians hide behind labels of unimportant labels such as Democrat, Republican..instead of working together as a whole? They all believe they have the best way to solve this country's problems. What egos! As long as we are divided by labels, and throw out money to promote ones self, this country will not change. WE need to let the egos down and see the truth to what we, as a country, are doing to ourselves. This crap has got to stop or we will destroy everything. This is exactly why I refuse to vote for anyone. No one has shown me they were more interested in the country as a whole than just themselves. Talk is talk people, it is time to walk the walk!

Mysterious and enchanting


~~~~Sometimes I dream of fairies, and mystical people that spread life and growth to others. I actually have those kind of dreams a lot. Some imagination huh? My dreams are usually strange and sometimes very story like, often not knowing what they mean. I am deeply fascinated with fairies especially because they seem to be not only lovable creatures, but beautiful, enchanting, and mysterious as well. I think there is a part of all women that like to feel that way about herself. I know I do~~~~

Just a question for the day


Ok, here is a serious question. (lol)....To make you really think of what really is important in life...if you were stranded on a small island alone, what 3 items (only 3..its not a big island) would you have with you..... What and why?
For me...it would be.... 1. My music player with my Josh and James music. I cant live without hearing there sweet music.Besides, I could spend years just listening to their music and glaze into the heavens.
2. A picture of my sweetie. I want to always see his warm eyes and handsome smile.
3. A big bucket. A place to go potty. Believe me, I am not sleeping where I pee! HAHAHA!

That time of year

It is that time of year again, lots of cooking, tons of candy, parties, trick or treating.....Its all such a lovely tradition that sadly is getting spoiled by dangers of all sorts. But no matter, in a few days my kids will be out getting candy and to me it is a part of their youth that is going by oh so fast.Isn't their a way to keep them young for just a little while longer? Heck, why did us adults grow up?

Majestic Beauty


Goodnight sweet Earth,
You have been a blessing today. You have given Life to so many souls, and your beauty surpasses all others, a beauty of spirit that shines through from deep within your core.....May God protect you always dear Earth, and may your children always look after you as well.
Tonight I end my night very grateful for the days events. I may not have much as far as material possessions, but I am rich in other ways. I am thankful for the air I breath, the food I eat, the roof over my head, the smiles on my children's face, the sound of my lovers voice, the possibilities of tomorrow, my thoughts, my dreams, the win from the Giants (yes, I had to add that), the sleep that I will be soon upon, and so much more.....truly these are things no one should ever forget as they are blessings indeed. They are simple blessings, but the some times the simple things are the most precious of all!
So Good Night Mother Earth, you majestic beauty!

Conversations of the Heart


Come walk with me dear friend on this lovely path. Let us delight ourselves in the wonderful conversations of the heart. Let us share our wisdom together. Where will it lead us? Imagine hiking through the rays of Gods light! How blessed a day this will be. I cant imagine a better place to be on such a fine lovely morning....

A Billion Stars


With another day behind me,I am feeling a bit worn for the wear. Bills, no funds,no job, sick child....a lot to run through my head. So, tonight, will end my evening by closing my eyes, and dreaming that I am on top of a mountain under a billion or two stars and give all my worries to the heavens.I choose not to hold on to them tonight and let my soul free to dream. Come sit with me my love and let us not be Hidden Away from our desires.....Feel the Universe upon us.....Let us reach a Higher Window!

Stars in the Heavens

Oh the glorious night is here again. Don't you just love the night time; the darkness, the brisk air, the moonlight? Well, it is not as lovely when your in a crowded city when all you see is smog, glare and fog...... but the night time stars are still there shinning its lovely beauty. How perfect would it be to head to the hills away from city lights, traffic , and lay peacefully under them and gaze dream like into space. Feel the breeze against your face and hear the whispers the heavens create. Each star is brightly dancing before our eyes.... Its funny, when I look at the heavens, nothing else in the world seems to matter. Last night I laid in bed and could not help but wonder why more people don't admire the universe more. Our society is so focused on advancement, getting things done faster, building more, being politically correct, and self image....Makes me wonder how we got so lost from Gods plan. Why are so many so focused on anger, judgement, criticism, hatred, and so many other negative feelings? Why do we need to move ahead?Why do we need more "things?" Look at the heavens, imagine how far it must go. What life is out there waiting to be discovered? Is that heaven, or is heaven beyond the stars? I cannot wrap my brain around it. The beauty is so breath taking that I can't imagine a world without them. This is truly one of Gods miracles.Curiousity about life is a miracle too. But at the rate society is going, one day we will not be able to see them....I can blog every day about the stars and to me, the stars above would still be a miraculous gift.Look at the stars and dream.....think about we we are going, and what gifts we already have to get us there,,,,Do we really need to go further? Is the Love of your Life looking at them too? Do you really need to be self important to others? So many questions.... Life is filled with wonders that may never be answered....but why rush to get the answers anyway. Sometimes it is nice to just be and let things come as they happen.....

~~~~~~Peace, Love, Kindness, Faith, Hope, Curiousity~~~~~~~

Go Giants! 2010 NL Champs!!!!


I want to say Congratulations to the San Francisco Giants for being the 2010 National League Champions. My boys worked hard this year, even causing so many of us fans great stress, but they pulled it off.Beating the Phillies was an incredible feat no doubt! I have followed the Giants since I was 16 years old, so heading to the World Series again means a lot to me. So look out Rangers......your about to be taken over by GIANTS! This is our year!

Pray


It is a beautiful Saturday evening and the rain has made its wonderful presence known. It is a lovely evening to light a candle, play some soft music and sit by an open window and smell the rain pour its nutrients on new life. Its also a wonderful time to set some time for a spiritual prayer to wash away those doubts we like to store deep within our beings. We must always be kind to our soul....nurture it, cherish it....most of all, be thankful for the gift of Life. If there is any room, pray for the Giants to beat the Phillie's! LOL.....what can I say, its nerve racking!

Beautiful Heaven

When you think of Heaven, is it a place that ones spirit manifests to beyond life on Earth? Or is Heaven a place simply hidden way on this lovely planet? Either way, Heaven is where you find beauty.....and THAT starts from within! My Heaven includes beautiful places, my kids smiles, my lovers warm embrace, music that fills my soul, Nature, God.....those things matter deep within my being and so to me, that defines Heaven. So when someone speaks of the phrase Heaven on earth, well, how accurate that really is!

keeping faith

When life goes astray, and you know that it will
when the path that you travel, seems to be uphill
When the funds are scarce, and debts are high
And you brave a smile, but inside you cry
When care is so needed and your at the end of your wits
Rest if you must, but don't you dare quit
Success is trying, failure will not be met
That silver lining, we must never forget
And you may never know how close you really are
It may be near, even though it seems far
So stick with your faith when you're hardest hit
Cause its when life goes amiss, that we mustn't quit

Beauty around us!


It may be just the middle of another ordinary week, but there is so much beauty around us that make it anything but ordinary! The trees, the sun, the sky, the grass, the flowers, people, children's smiles, laughter, colorful autumn leaves, pumpkins....The list is endless of all the wonders around us! WE all need to take a moment and enjoy this day!

A quiet moment with God

At the end of the day, there is nothing more serene, and peaceful than to spend some quiet time alone with God. For me, turning the lights off as I took a warm scented bath was that still moment I so needed . I even found myself singing out loud.....The song was You Raise me Up by Josh Groban, and yes, I sung it terribly, but there is something so freeing about letting your soul out to God. It rejuvenated my soul and my women hood. ~~~PEACE~~~

Dear Lord,
In the quietness of this prayer, I am embraced by you dear Lord. In this sacred moment, I know more of you as divine love, Life, and Wisdom. I know you in a way that leaves no room for doubt.

In this quiet moment, I ask to view the world through Loving, faith-filled eyes. I share the passion of my heart and soul to everyone. I know you answer me by giving me strength and the understanding I need to live a life of Love and Faith.

In this moment, I bless myself and the family of yours God, throughout this lush, beautiful planet we call home. I pray the needs of all people are being met, that each person is becoming more aware of the important contribution he or she is making to the world.

Most of all dear Lord, I pray that mankind will learn and accept the gift of human kindness and only give of themselves rather than take. May words be spoken for encouragement and not hurtfulness. May needless battles be left behind. May honor, truth and trust be the goal we all reach! May every one feel the blessings that are given to them daily....

Thank you God for all that is given.......
AMEN!

Inner Beauty


Find your inner beauty within by listening to the Lord and what he is telling you. True beauty is not letting anger, hatred, greed, selfishness, bitterness, grudges fill your spirit up. It is the power within to let go of the negativity that makes us beautiful. Find your beautiful spirit and nourish it. It is then you can help nourish the world around you.~~~~XXOOPEACE~~~~~

Autumn Colors

Don't you just love Autumn? The fall colors, the chill in the air, the occasional rain showers, the feeling of holidays approaching.....and yes...trick or treaters.......The different colors of leaves falling from trees reminds me of a time back in my childhood of having to rake them up and then jumping in them afterwards. That to me was fun....We didn't have social networks back then...we had friends on the block. Some one was always coming over or we would always be over there. We made fun without technology. we connected with our friends the intended way. What ever happened to those special moments? I really miss the color of fall...not just the color, but the feelings I got from them. One can really appreciate the beauty of nature when one has been away from it for long periods of time like I have....but I tell you, my heart still longs to go back to it.........

Morning Inspiration


I woke up this morning and turned on my TV. As anyone knows, Sunday TV really sucks. LOL. (well, except for football and baseball playoffs...lol )But I did turn in to one channel and listened to this woman preacher talk about God. Normally I don't watch things like this on TV, but she truly had a way of grabbing my attention. I found myself quite inspired. So in honor of the good Lord, and my morning inspiration, thought I would write down a few messages I received today!
~xoxoxoxoxopeacexoxoxoxoxoxoxox~


Take a walk with the Lord today and listen to the conversations he has with you. Even though the sun is not out today, it is still a beautiful day.It is beautiful because it is another day we can choose to appreciate the gifts that surround us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have so many steps to take on our journey, but the road of a thousand miles begins with one single step.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It isn't about what we do for God, but what he does for us!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Give yourself to GOD, offer him yourself.....let him choose what to do with you!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Talk to God, start and end your day in Prayer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Love deeply
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Never get even
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love thy enemy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Help those in need
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't be that important Somebody
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh, how I could go on.... todays sermon was beautiful and it did awaken my senses.....thank you God!

A Lesson to Learn!


For the Life of me, I cannot even imagine what it is like to spend 69 days in a dark, crowed space miles beneath the earth. I hear these kind of stories and think how unfair life is.....but then you see miracles happen, and suddenly you feel the feelings of the families of this tragedy and regain a sense of hope, faith and compassion.Why does the world unite stronger when events like these happen? Why cant we feel for our brothers and sisters every day of every year? Why does it take a Life threatening situation? What impresses me the most is that the people of Chile never give up...they stayed determined and oh so vigilant. I believe that God has his reasons for everything, so we must ask ourselves...why did this happen? I suppose there are many answers to this, but my belief is that it is a lesson on making an effort to unite with all mankind. How many lessons do you think we will need to finally understand?
So, to the people of Chile...God Bless your strength and courage. May your strength teach us all!!!

Blessed is the night


Blessed is the night when our hearts are full of pure Love.
It is a glorious moment that can feel so timeless
Its a time for dreams
Its a time for Hope
A time for remembering our blessings
Let our souls be at peace
with ourselves
and the world

Goodnight Love
Goodnight Mother Earth



A Beautiful Walk


A beautiful fall evening........why not take a long serene walk in the splendid autumn colors with someone special?Just imagine the adventures you could find just through a beautiful hike!!! Oh how I long for autumn colors......XXOO

Beautiful Trees


Do you know what I love most about trees? Is that they are really the essence of Life. They are remarkable living things that give us the air we breath. They come in so many splendid shapes , colors, and forms that each one seem to have its own story to tell. We can sit under them with our lover and have a peaceful afternoon. We can build tree houses in them for our children to explore their imaginations. We can decorate them with colors to celebrate a birth of the Lord, We can swing on them from a rope or tires, feeling life's adrenaline. We can watch animals make homes.... But as wonderful as trees are, every day they get forgotten or even worse...torn down for the sake of lesser importance. This world could not live without them. It is truly up to us to keep them alive.....let us hope and pray that mankind will not destroy one of Life's most precious Gifts! You know, you dont have to be a tree hugger to appreciate trees......all ya have to be is an air breather!

Rembering John Lennon



So today on face book and across the globe, a bunch of people are celebrating the Life of John Lennon. Ya see, if he was still alive, he would have been celebrating his 7oth birthday this year. I could not help but to stop and listen to some of the music that was being played. There is something so haunting in listening to these incredible songs. Even now hearing beautiful songs such as"Beautiful Boy" "Imagine" or "Woman" still gives me chills. Lennon had an incredible talent that even to this day seems to be attracting more and more fans. The music seems so timeless. I doubt there will ever be another quite like John Lennon. He was certainly an original. I was only a child when he was at his peak. Heck, I wasn't even born when the Beatles were at there peak. (Sadly, I was born the year the Beatles broke up...that's telling my age...lol) But yet, I know the songs. SO today I honor and celebrate the amazing art and music of John Lennon. He was not only an amazing artist, but his beliefs on Love and Peace is something we all can learn from. God Bless you John and may you rest in peace always!


~IMAGINE~


Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

A Rainy Dream

My counselor wanted me to dream about my life and if I had a magic wand to make it the way I wanted, what would it be like? Sure, I could dream about being out of debt, off the states assistance, a better job, more money......but there was only one thing that really stood out to me. Tonight as I drift off to sleep, that's where my mind will be dreaming....

Tonight I dream of walking in the rain with my darling love....We'd walk through the streets under a rainy sky with arms wrapped around one another. The City's lights glistened off the wet pavement as we strolled through the city. We talk of dreams, precious secrets and our hearts desire.The streets would be ours as we would only see each other. Beating hearts and wandering minds fill the atmosphere in pure delight. Let the rain fall down on us, soaking us, as we feel the power of the water spread its Life all around us.I cant imagine a better evening to spend...or a more serene moment.Oh, the beautiful memory we would make......What a perfect way to connect with another soul! That's what I dream tonight and always! For you darling, that day will come...

Self Image


Do you think this woman in the picture likes what she sees? How often do any of us stand and look at ourselves in a mirror and appreciate our own reflection? Do you feel strange if you looked at yourself for any period of time? I think it is kind of ironic that if we see someone staring in a mirror loving themselves we think of them as shallow, or somehow egotistical for appreciating their own image and yet at the same time we tell our children that they should always love who they are and what they look like no matter what God gave them... We have so many talk shows on day time TV that even talk about self esteem and how inner beauty should always shine before anything else.....and yet again, the media, movies, celebrities are so going against that by the use of all the beauty products. weight loss ads, material possessions etc...........Confusing isn't it? It is no wonder our children of today are more confused then anything...so many mixed messages. I think it is important to take care of our beautiful bodies, after all self esteem is important at every age, but lets not waste so much energy trying to live up to an expectations that cannot possibly be met. Enjoy what we have, not what we don't.... Too bad the media will never change its views....to them, its all about the $$$$!!!! The world will never stop focusing on the money....So truly sad. But that doesn't really matter, cause it is us, the regular people, and parents to get the message across, especially to our youth........ What are we waiting for? So, to quote Susan Powter..."Stop the Insanity!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"If you know on a deep level that the person you are attracted to is a
mirror of yourself, you know that everything that you see in your partner is
also in you. The reason you are in a relationship is to learn about yourself and
deepen your connection with your higher self. healthy relationships are not
based on neediness, but on passion and excitement of sharing the journey of
becoming a whole person."....Shakti Gawain




"Because many of us have never really learned how to take good care of
ourselves, our relationships have been based on trying to get someone else to
take care of us. Being Alive is a love affair with the Universe. Life is a love
affair between our inner male and female, between our form and our
spirit...." ...Shakti Gawain

A Simpler Time


What a glorious Sunday. Its a time to remember all the blessings we have. Take time to remember our dear Lord who allows our blessings to happen. Take a moment to appreciate and remember the small towns, the simpler Life, the beautiful colors that make this planet so spectacular. Oh how I miss the seasons. Life needs to go back to a simpler time.......a time when we can focus with a full heart on our friends and family and not about material things....A time when people were not greedy!

An inspirational moment


So I am spending a relaxing day at home and doing one of my favorite things. Watching movies. I decided that I wanted to watch the movie Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons. That movie always seems to lift my spirits...... For me, the best part of the whole movie is when Benjamin, aka Brad Pitt starting talking about how life should be lived...........Yes, I had to write it down.....I found it incredibly inspirational.

"Never to late or to early to be who you want to be.
There is no time limit
You can stop when ever you choose to
You can change or stay the way you are
There are no rules
You can make the best of it or the worst of it
Hope you see things for the best
Hope you see things with new eyes
Hope you feel things
Hope you meet people with different points of views
Live a Life your proud of
if not
Hope you have the strength to start all over again"

Our body, mind and soul

"If your feeling tired or ill, rest.
Your body will always want to rest and ease if it is sick. When you become quiet, ask your body what you need to do in order to heal yourself. Your body may tell you to change certain habits, eat more wholesome foods, express some feelings, quit your job, see a doctor, or it may have some other message for you, but there is always an answer available to you. The key is to ask and then listen honestly for a response."...Shakti Gawain
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Do things for yourself regularly that make you feel you are taking special care of of yourself and doing nice things for your body. Take a hot bath and visualize the hot water totally relaxing, soothing, and healing you. Picture any problems melting or being washed away and nothing remaining but your natural radiance shinning within. Put lotion on your face and body, giving yourself lots of loving attention, affirming that your skin is becoming smoother and more beautiful all the time...." Shakti Gawain
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What can I say, I love thoughts on how to love ourselves and others a little better. Really, how we treat others basically comes down to how we treat ourselves. If we don't take care of ourselves inside and out, then how do we expect to have others feel the same way? It has taken me a long time to truly appreciate myself, and I am still a work in progress, but I am putting in the effort.....all I can ask of myself. One day at a time, and with lots of help from the good Lord!

Beautiful Flower


Hello my beautiful flower, aren't you as lovely as can be.... Open your silky petals and show us your splendid beauty within. You so remind me of mankind....each one of us with our own light within just waiting for some one to see.....All you need is some Love and nourishment and your spirit fills the air......
