MY NEW YEAR’S WISH FOR ALL

Published on by KCLeave a comment

Putting the 2021 year into perspective has been challenging to say the least. This past year felt very much like a repeat of 2020 in that I feel, the world hasn’t changed much at all. Our governments haven’t grown wiser and certainly are no more attentive now to the people’s wants or needs.

The mainstream media continues to spew out repetitive negative vibes with absolutely no thought to the monumental tolls it’s taking on those of us who just want the truth (the real truth that is), with a sprinkle of joy thrown in along the way to give us hope that there is light to be found at the end of this seemingly very long tunnel.

I see people growing more cold and distant every day. Once we were able to look at one another and smile or nod – basically acknowledging that we are alive and seen. Where it was once enjoyable to go out to run errands and compliment another either on their fabulous ensemble or seriously creative hairdo – we now slink past each other in somber silence, barely noticing anything.

I feel we are living a life in the shadows, afraid to raise our heads and show that we are alive. We are not all sheep to be herded this way and that way in accordance to what those in power tell us is or is not the right way to live our lives. Our creator clearly gives us those guidelines and because of free will – WE GET TO CHOOSE FOR OURSELVES! Please remember choice isn’t about being popular and more often than not, leads to being quit unpopular, but living a deliberate heart driven life is the ultimate path to overcoming every obstacle.

I for one, respect everyone’s choice right up to the moment they attempt to force their choice/will upon me. This is when I have an issue. This is when I stand strong and tall for me. Not to impart my will onto them or try to change their minds and I won’t even judge them for their beliefs or opinions, but I will not be coerced into doing, saying or feeling something that goes against the very fiber of my sovereign being and you shouldn’t either.

My New Year’s wish for all! Stand strong for yourself! Put in the time and energy to research any unanswered questions you may have about anything and don’t be swayed by the first bits of information that may be revealed – push on and on until your curiosity has been truly tempered.

Be kind to yourself. Take the time to do what calms your soul, makes you happy and ultimately brings you to a place of peace within.

Deliberately put forth into the world – love, compassion, forgiveness, and gratitude as this will resonate throughout all human consciousness and it does make a difference, even if you can’t see it.

Lastly, make a difference in someone’s life – a kind word or some random act of kindness can unknowingly change a life in ways you can never imagine – Be the change you want to see in the world.

Blessings to all!

Life sometimes gets in the way

Published on by KCLeave a comment

My apologies for being a stranger of late, but life sometimes gets in the the way. Lately, I have been feeling very disconnected from the world. I have spent this time reaching deep within myself trying to see beyond the veil in hope that I can gain a better understanding of what is real in this world and what is not. Breaking free from the 3d matrix is not an easy task and yet I feel more confident than ever it can be done. It’s a journey and I am grateful for this higher understanding as I am beginning to see clearly now and will return soon with a more enlightened perspective on many things.

In the mean time – I felt like sharing my ALL TIME favorite poem by Rudyard Kipling – Enjoy and much love and light to you all!

Blessings to you!

IF

If you can keep your head when all about you
  Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
  But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
  Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated don’t give way to hating,
  And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
  If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
  And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
  Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
  And stoop and build’em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
  And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
  And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
  To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
  Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
  Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
  If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
  With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
  And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

HOW DID WE GET HERE?

I realize this is a post that takes a bit of a different turn than my previous meanderings, but as someone who is now a mid-centurion and has grown children, I just couldn’t keep silent on this topic.

The photos above depict then and now. The photo on the left is all about children playing outdoors and enjoying themselves with something as simple as blowing bubbles, while the photo on the right shows how things are today!

This post formed a few days ago while I was sitting outside in front of my house, under my favorite maple tree just watching a few cars pass by, the occasional couple walking their dogs, and the kids.

The kids that strolled by were completely oblivious to what was going on around them. They didn’t talk to one another or even seem interested in who was walking beside them. They all had their cell phones in their faces! They almost looked like the damn things were glued to their hands and their eyes all shared the same glazed over expression.  A couple of them didn’t even bother to look for cars as they bounced off the curb into the street. Their pace and head position never changed.

How did we get here? Technology is awesome for so many things, but after witnessing the above, it’s time to take those devices seriously – This didn’t appear to be fun or engaging – it appeared to be the beginning of a mini-people zombie apocalypse.

When I was a kid…I’m sure many readers who are not of my age will say that they have heard this line from their parents way too many times, but the truth is the truth! We played outside until the street lights went on and that was our cue to be home for supper with no excuses. We played in the fields, the streams and even in the streets. We built forts, played dodge ball (I think they have outlawed this one for cruelty?), filled up water balloons and found tons of things to do that embodied the spirit of togetherness, communication and camaraderie.

My friends included all shapes, sizes and ethnicity’s. We were neighborhood kids. Everyone had something to contribute! Was there the occasional tiff or hurt feelings? Of course there was – we were little people navigating our way around the beginnings of our social patterns. Those little hiccups between us never seemed to last very long, because the important thing was we had each other. We shared complaints about how unfair our parents were and dreamed about the next new toy or gadget.

I am so sad to witness the end of the art conversation as I knew it! The emotionless world of technology is grand for research and work, but if this is the conversation of the future…texts and emoji’s  – Where does this leave us?

Blessings to you!
