Discovery Made Public

This past week has been a rather refreshing week of discovery for me. I dined and/or conversed with people I have not seen in a while. The usual catching up on what everyone has been up to. Upon my "meetings" with these friends (4 of them to be exact), I discovered that the only thing that has changed is their position in their respective journeys. Some had new career paths, while others new spiritual paths. All said and done, no matter what we spoke about, we respected each other and found each other's point of view as a personal discovery. A discovery meaning we have influenced each other whether it was for me to pick up a new book, change our diet, visit a new place, or tweek our focus on something we have been working on. I welcome it all.

Discovery also comes in that wonderful shape of the negative also. For example, things that were said about me (that I found out), things I supposedly said (that I found out), things that people lied to me about (that I found out)....we get the hint. Its the mircale of not having to look for something and stumbling upon it. Many people out there are lonely, hurt, depressed, lost, etc and need some outer stimuli to sustain them and keep them going. Gossip works wonders for these individuals. I accept it.

At the end of the day, we should be happy for what we have achieved in our time on earth. Focus on what we still can achieve. As for other people? Celebrate what they have done for themselves without saying "why don't I have that?" Only you have the job to be the best YOU! Let me be me, and they be themselves. Alda might have me as an "idol" and Grace is waiting for my book, but they both helped me "discover" to make my daily blog writing public.

Don't gossip for this week. Just discover what your "voice" is telling you.

The Beast Within

REASON>SEASON>LIFETIME

Peopl​e come into your life for a reaso​n,​ a seaso​n or a lifet​ime.​

When you know which​ one it is, you will know what to do for that perso​n.​ When someo​ne is in your life for a REASO​N,​ it is usual​ly to meet a need you have expre​ssed.​ They have come to assis​t you throu​gh a diffi​culty​,​ to provi​de you with guida​nce and suppo​rt,​ to aid you physi​cally​,​ emoti​onall​y or spiri​tuall​y.​ They may seem like a godse​nd and they are. They are there​ for the reaso​n you need them to be. Then,​ witho​ut any wrong​doing​ on your part or at an incon​venie​nt time,​ this perso​n will say or do somet​hing to bring​ the relat​ionsh​ip to an end. Somet​imes they die. Somet​imes they walk away.​ Somet​imes they act up and force​ you to take a stand​.​ What we must reali​ze is that our need has been met, our desir​e fulfi​lled,​ their​ work is done.​ The praye​r you sent up has been answe​red and now it is time to move on. 

Some peopl​e come into your life for a SEASO​N,​ becau​se your turn has come to share​,​ grow or learn​.​ They bring​ you an exper​ience​ of peace​ or make you laugh​.​ They may teach​ you somet​hing you have never​ done.​ They usual​ly give you an unbel​ievab​le amoun​t of joy. Belie​ve it, it is real.​ But only for a seaso​n.​

  LIFET​IME relat​ionsh​ips teach​ you lifet​ime lesso​ns,​ thing​s you must build​ upon in order​ to have a solid​ emoti​onal found​ation​.​ Your job is to accep​t the lesso​n,​ love the perso​n and put what you have learn​ed to use in all other​ relat​ionsh​ips and areas​ of your life.​ It is said that love is blind​ but frien​dship​ is clair​voyan​t.​ 

Thank​ you for being​ a part of my life,​ wheth​er you were a reaso​n,​ a seaso​n or a lifet​ime.​

Christmas of Hope and O

Amazing.  It is the only word that I can use to describe the last 24 hours in my hemisphere.  The energy that was in the air early in the morning only intensified as the day went on.  A friend of mine said he felt like "it was Christmas morning."  To me it was better then any Christmas I can remember.  It was quite evident that the only thing on people's minds was the election.  That was the talk as I was getting coffee, people smiling in the streets, phone calls I was getting from friends dying to leave work, those people that didn't work at all....it was a national holiday.  We were entering a new era and we all knew it.

Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought of having an election party.  I had one.  So did many people apparently as I have read and heard.  We gathered just to wait, watch and eventually...... celebrate.  It was phenomenal!  It was all well worth it as in the conclusion of my evening (and of many others) we had elected a President that I can only describe as full of hope, charisma, energy and composed.  Never once did I see in his demeanor over the last year, that he felt he was not going to nail this thing!

Despite the hangover, YouTube video and two bruises on my body, it was an unforgettable day with an unforgettable result.  I only HOPE that those people that did not get the candidate they voted for realize that at the end of the day we need to stay together and help each other out.  That is the only way that anything is going to be accomplished even if the other candidate won.  We are one.  We must be one.  This is not about color or party.  This is about our integrity and reputation as Americans to move forward and still fight for every right we have.  I love my country just a little bit more today.  Thanks O!
