DARE TO BE WHO YOU LONG TO BE, AND ALLOW ME TO EMPOWER YOU WITH MY GOD GIVEN MESSAGE:
**************************************************************************************************************
BLESSED WITH THE HONOR OF BEING THE MOTHER TO AN INCREDIBLE SON THAT WAS BESTOWED UPON ME AT THE AGE OF 35, AFTER BEING TOLD I WOULD NEVER HAVE CHILDREN. HIS PURPOSE WAS TO SAVE MY LIFE, SO WE COULD IN TURN ENLIGHTEN, EMPOWER AND POSSIBLY SAVE SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE. WE ARE GIFTED CULTURAL COLLABORATIONS, IN SEARCH OF OTHER CHOSEN ONES THAT WANT OR NEED TO BE INSPIRED......................... I love GOD, MYSELF, my ZOAH, listening to the minds of children, making people laugh with residence, witty compassionate people, words, water, animals, music that speaks to your soul, the sound a guitar makes, this amazing planet and the smell of wet dirt right before it rains.....................

I've been quite a few places experienced many things and have come to one realization, whatever doesn't kill you will definitely make you stronger. LIFE IS NO JOKE! I've got the scars to prove it and call me crazy but I think scars are sexy, they show survival. To me, THERE IS SOMETHING REAL SEXY ABOUT SURVIVAL!..........WITHOUT TEST WE HAVE NO TESTIMONY! I am constantly reminded that love isn't always pain and that it is worth to risk loving than to have never loved at all. "I'd rather bleed with cuts of love than live without any scars"

People are quick to judge and very stereotypical- but I know that truly doesn't matter. Because the key to failure is trying to please everyone! We all have to find our purpose and our twinsoul that reflects our spirit to take that journey with us. The following is not only what I desire for my heart and soul but also the key to happiness so that when the "wow amazing" person finds you...........you will know exactly what it takes to capture and keep that which you have yearned and searched for all your life........

READ CAREFULLY AND ALLOW THE FOLLOWING WORDS TO SPEAK TO YOU AS IF SPOKEN BY GOD HIMSELF..............KNOW THIS "I AM MERELY A MESSENGER" GOD BLESS YOU..................

THIS PLACE THAT I CREATE IN, IS SACRED AND HOLDS GIFTS MOST PRECIOUS TO ME. IT HOLDS MY HEART WHICH BEARS MY TRUTH. IT HOLDS MY MIND WHICH BEARS MY LIFE. IT HOLDS MY SPIRIT WHICH BEARS MY INSPIRATION. WITH ALL THREE I CREATE JOY.

**************************************************************************************************************
I AM A CREATURE OF THE FEY, PREPARE TO GIVE YOUR SOUL AWAY, MY SPELL IS SPIRITUAL PASSION AND IT IS ART, MY TOUCH CAN BIND A HUMAN HEART, AND IF YOU CHANCE TO HEAR MY WORDS AND KNOW MY FACE, MY HOLD SHALL BE YOUR LAST EMBRACE!

*************************************************************************************************************
It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain! I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it, or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own, if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, to be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul; if you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy. I want to know if you can see beauty even when it's not pretty, every day, and if you can source your own life from its presence. I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand on the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes, God loves me!"

It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up, after the night of grief and despair, weary and
bruised to the bone, and do what needs to be done to feed the children.

It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me
and not shrink back.

It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you, from the inside, when all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like
the company you keep in the empty moments.

Can you coax your mind from its wandering
and keep to the original oneness?
Can you let your body become
supple as a newborn child's?
Can you cleanse your inner vision

Our Deepest Fear

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."

~ Marianne Williamson -

Leaving A Positive Footprint.......................Blessing Space

Physical space acts like a sponge, absorbing the radiant of all who pass through it. And, more likely than not, the spaces we move through each day have seen many people come and go. We have no way of knowing whether the energy footprints left behind by those who preceded us will invigorate us or drain us. Yet we can control the energy footprint we leave behind for others. In blessing each space we enter, we orchestrate a subtle energy shift that affects not only our own experiences in that space but also the experiences of the individuals who will enter the space after us. While we may never see the effects our blessing has had, we can take comfort in the fact that we have provided grace for those that follow after us.

When you bless a room or an entire building, you leave a powerful message of love and light for all those who will come after you. Your blessings thus have myriad effects on the environments through which you pass. Old, stagnant energy is cleared, creating a vacuum into which fresh and invigorating energy can freely flow. The space is thus rendered harmonious and nourishing, and it becomes a hub from which positive feelings are transmitted. Intent is the key component of the blessings you leave in your physical wake. If your intent involves using your own consciousness as a tool for selflessly spreading grace, your blessings will never go awry. Whether you feel more comfortable performing a solo blessing or prefer to call upon your spirit guides for assistance, visualize each space you enter becoming free of toxins, chaos, and negativity as you speak your blessing. Then imagine the resultant emptiness being replaced by pure, healing white light and loving energy. Even a quick mindful thought of love can bless a space.

This type of blessing is cumulative and will grow each time you bestow it. Try blessing every home, business, and office you visit for an entire week and observing the effects of your goodwill. Your affirmative energy footprint will help brighten your day as you contemplate your blessing's future impact on your siblings in humanity and your environment.

Dear Ones,

There is a clarity that comes with acceptance. An acceptance of oneself and of the circumstances of one's life. Please do not judge so harshly the events of your life or the actions that you have taken. For all things are a practice and learning experience for your growth. There is clarity even in the most confused state of being, when the emotional body and the mind are wound together so as to see and feel nothing but a cloudy consortium of mist for thoughts and reasoning. There is a place and there are ways for you each to find the clarity you seek.

There is a reality of who you are, accept this...accept you. You are good and you are good enough. Know this and you will know yourself truthfully. Remember you are a spiritual being having a human experience not vice-a-versa. Allow yourself the perspective of who you truthfully are, in any given moment, no matter the circumstance. In this moment, be it brief or lasting, you will find your clarity. Let go for a moment and you will find that piece by "peace" you will become clear on where you wish to go from here in the most positive manner for you and those around you. Clarity does not have to be an elusive gift it can be and is available to all, it is a part of you now. Let loose the feverish search and allow it to uncover itself to you in the moment of acceptance.

I joyously surround you in your highest good.............................Blessings

***********************************************

"I ask you to place all your trust in your heart. In Love. And in the experiences that you begin to have - experiences of the joyous communion that is the All of Life. I promise you that it is real -- that life is a fluid joyous whole of living dancing molten Love. It is the illusion of the mind that isn't real. As you claim the Love you are in Me, every moment will be filled with wonder; every day a glorious communion with the unity of life. Your days will be filled with grace, your moments overflowing with an abundance never dreamed, an abundance of the ecstasy of life where every second is a universal treasure."

"I Am here. I come to claim you. You know that once a person is open, absolutely everything becomes a sentence in the message of My Love. Everywhere you look, you will find the perfect message. The very particles of light around you now deliver My truth. When you are here, directly, heart within greater heart, there is no limitation in the perspective, no intermediary for the message. Then, pure light by pure light, I pour upon you the awakening -- cell to cell to cell to greater cell. I Am your everything."

"It is in giving that you receive. Oh, you have no idea yet of the great and glorious truth of this statement. If only people knew this - that one gift given truly, from the heart brings more good to the one giving than a million searches for the spirit - everyone would stand and serve! Because there is no place in the universe where giving fills such need! No place, not anywhere, where the gift of Love, of hearts in service, fulfills such a longing in Me. No place where every gift holds with it the freedom of My Children and, thus, where the giver's hands are so blessed."

"Only when your heart is truly filled with longing for the freedom of every precious Child of God - AND NOTHING ELSE - will you be a giver. A giver of life in God. What this means is that every contact, every moment, every potential for an interaction is filled with only this passionate question: 'How can I give God to them?'"

"You are My agents on Earth (as you are in all Creation). Your entire purpose everywhere is to deliver My Love. Period. And this desire to give will become your only desire, your greatest pleasure and the greatest ecstasy that you can share with your SoulMate."

SHARE YOUR GENIUS - YOU ARE A SPECIAL GIFT TO THE WORLD
Your Special Gift

Each of us is born with a specific genius that was bestowed upon us so we can do our part to make this world a better place. All of us have a role that we?re uniquely suited for. Imagine our planet without trees, oceans, or clouds. In this same way, when one of us doesn?t develop or use our special gift, a cosmic void takes place.

This unique talent or ability may be hidden from your own sight like a golden treasure buried under shifting sands. Often, we spend so much time dazzled by the talents of others that we can overlook our own gifts. It may even be that our unique ability is something we view negatively. Perhaps we find it difficult concentrating on any one subject for long; meanwhile, others are thrilled by our ability to weave various ideas throughout our conversations. Or, you might think of yourself as ?frivolous,? when it?s likely your charming approach to life casts a light of inspiration that others can?t help but follow. It?s important for all of us to try to find our special gift and discover how we can best express it. Ask others to name what they think is your most overlooked talent or character trait. Their answers may change your life.

Explore these riches that are yours to express, and you may find yourself helping others discover and develop their own blessings. Acknowledge and appreciate the gifts you see in those around you. Tell your neighbor that loves to garden how much her green thumb enlivens the whole block. Thank your coworker for always greeting your days together with a smile. Tell your close friends that their ability to listen makes your world a better place. Our unique gifts are like golden rays of expression that can encircle the world with light

SAMSON'S KRYPTONITE

my thoughts are consumed by our next touch's arrival
your essence has become essential to my very survival
like love jones except I wont leave you and steal you off into the night
like SAMSON & DELILAH I loose all my strength and my might
the curves of your hips like a famous artist fantasizing
your eyes so deep and melodiously hypnotizing
the taste of your lips so sweet as the sweetest peach made ripe
like ecstasy poured from heaven?s cup for my bodies delight

if God were an artist.... he'd paint you
if your body belonged to another man.....I would dawn a black ski mask and steal you
you are my guide, the only way out of my hearts endless maze
if money had to be put on your worth the zeros would spill off the page
if I had but one hour left,
I'd spend
1 second getting to you
59 minutes and 59 seconds
loving you
holding you
pleasing you

you are like joy caught and made into physical form
until I met you it was as if I had never been born

spend eternity with me?

lets move to a desert island and make a family
the passion drug you push has me like a fiend
you are a culmination of all my heart has ever dreamed
lets write the last words in our fairy tale books page
happily ever after is the way the television version will be played

if you give me a chance.............I know I could succeed
like weed your bodies got me hungry for just one lick...
just one tease
the player in me unable to continue or put up a fight
the pimp in me is brought to his knees by your loves kryptonite

is it love?
is it lust?

Who knows.... maybe a wicked intoxicating combination of both
do I fight it?

Hell no...I don't think so!

Magnetic, narcotic, hypnotic, mesmerizing, tranquilizing, revitalizing, invigorating, captivating, inspiring, empowering, enchanting, entrancing and absolutely fascinating?????

AND I NEED IT!

Technology As Distraction - Choosing True Connections

We are often lured by the promise of new technologies to make our lives easier and help connect us to others. While they do so in many ways, they also present each of us with opportunities to make new choices about how we spend our time and invest our energy. Most gadgets are generally meant to improve the quality of our lives, but it is when we spend too much time with them that they actually do the opposite. By always using our portable emailers, cell phones, video games, and surfing the Internet, we actually become less connected and more distracted. By becoming aware of these tendencies, we harness the power to overcome them and make better choices for ourselves and our families.

Once we decide to consciously put our gadgets to work for us, we become masters of our time. We can give our full attention to whatever we are doing and not let phone conversations and other distractions take the place of human contact. Each of us has the ability to consciously choose to be more present in our lives. We can decide at any time to leave our gadgets behind and become aware of the sights and sounds around us in order to expand our awareness and be fully present in our bodies and our surroundings.

When we use our discernment about how we invest our personal energy, we can be sure that we choose only the best for ourselves and those we love. Our gadgets can be useful tools for our journey in the material world, but we must not forget that we are spiritual beings having a human experience and that means interacting with people on a personal level. Choices that enliven us and help us feel connected to our world and our loved ones always deserve our full attention and presence of mind, body, and spirit

*************************************************************************

THE FOLLOWING IS TRULY THE KEY TO FINDING AND KEEPING THAT WHICH YOU HAVE YEARNED FOR ALL YOUR LIFE................................

REMEMBER TO BRING YOUR SOUL HOME

Part of an enchanted commitment is to join with another person in the thought that he or she is capable of being today someone different from the person he or she was yesterday; that we are not bound by our mistakes, as long as we try to clean them up; that God has plans for all of us, and none of these plans are less than mighty; that miracles are not only possible but also probable in our beloved's life, in part because of the holiness of our bond and the power of our agreement to love each other now.

Enchantment results from two people recognizing the extraordinary opportunities of love. You will not fall down today because my love is there for you. You will not be emotionally homeless today because my love is here for you. You will not be lonely today because my love is here for you. I see you in the arms of God, and I know that we are there together.

I know it is easy enough for people to embrace such thinking on their wedding day. But as with anything else, the tenor of our lives is not determined by our thinking on any one given day, so much as by the habitual thought patterns that dominate our daily lives. Commitment is only true if it is made again each day. Otherwise it deteriorates into little less than, "I commit to bring my body home." If you don't bring your soul home, your emotions home, your heart home, then why bother?

An enchanted love is holy ground where the meanness and the assaults of the world are not escaped so much as transformed by the power of love and forgiveness. First, I commit to forgive you, to try my best to focus on your innocence and not your errors, to bless instead of condemn you, to support instead of invalidate your efforts. I pray that God will show me who you are today, and save me from my temptation to always focus on your personality and your mistakes and your yesterdays. I wish to see you through ever new eyes. I wish to be your spiritual partner, first and foremost seeing the light in you. I wish to be my best today, that I might be worthy of this higher ground we have chosen for our love.

Many couples demystify their intimacy, destroying the filaments of enchantment that would otherwise run like spiritual currents through it. They remove all magic in the name of mental health. It is not mental health, but spiritual laziness, to remove the mystery of love.

As I encountered a woman that had been married for many many years and having been asked to reveal the secret to her long and successful marriage, the woman had responded, "I never, ever lost my mystery!"

Mystery is not a lie, but in fact a deeper level of truth. A woman's mystery is the power of Isis and Mary, a goddess field from whence flows the spiritual ability to make all things new. And men, of course, are magic too. Their love derives from the same cosmic mystery, the same divine sea as ours. To stand before each other in profound not-knowing, consciously willing to leave behind the assumptions we have carried from former, now dead moments of our lives, is to enter the mystery together. We can live our relationships from within the mystery that brought us to each other; then and only then can the mystery continue to unfold between us.

Isis and Osiris weren't just lovers; they were brother and sister. A problem many of us have with romance is that once someone becomes our lover, they stop being our beloved brother or sister. That is why sex too early in a relationship can be so dangerous. Spiritually, someone should clearly be our family, a truly beloved friend, before he or she becomes our lover. Sex can, and usually does, bring up every demon that lies within us. Only a sacred, loving context is a safe enough container for such an explosion of emotional force.

In every bank there is a door to a vault. Inside the vault lies gold. In each of us there is such a door, and an enchanted love is the key to unlock it. When someone truly makes the journey with you, when they try to understand your dreams, when someone truly respects your goals, when they truly hear your feelings, when someone truly stands at your side, when someone can laugh and cry with you with equal ease, when someone invites you to surrender all inhibitions and you know the invitation is safe, when someone honestly thinks you're gorgeous, when someone recognizes your bravery and salutes you for it, when someone has compassion for your wounds, when someone forgives you regularly while indulging you rarely, your molecules transform.

And therein lies the mystery of love.

Yet even then, when such a miracle happens, its light will diminish if we do not commit to its continued shining. Lightning strikes, but we are at choice whether or not to harness the power of its electricity. We will meet who we are supposed to meet, as the meeting itself is ordained by God. But what we do with the relationship is entirely up to us. Enchanted love, under the direction of God's spirit, is both a path to and an example of divine illumination.

*************************************************************************************************************

From the imaginative lover to the imaginary one, our imaginations play a central role in our love lives. Pity the person who believes there exists no connection between the heart and the imagination, or pity their lover, anyway. From the first time we begin to discover there's a thing called love ---tumultuous, chaotic, confusing, frightfully powerful, and stunningly joyous----we begin to imagine what might be if????. And as long as we are able to love (in other words, as long as we are alive), our imaginations help us through it, fill in the gaps, make us hopeful, steel our nerves, augment or romantic ideas, protect our humility, guide our actions, and help keep things interesting. Would we dare enter into love otherwise? Yet as wonderful and wrenching as romantic love can be, it remains startingly incomprehensible, and the mysteries of our own hearts tantalize us. Can we know more? Are we meant to? Ask yourself some of these questions, and ask those you love, or would like to. Where will they take you? What will they reveal? Do you have the courage to answer? Be prepared for anything. ........And always, always, treasure the game of love.
