"Love and Affection"....

“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection”

Siddhārtha Gautama

Thoughtful Thoughts.......

Go ahead. Just "blow"your thoughts out into the universe. Ask for what you want. What you need. Whatever you desire. By doing this, you allow yourself to be open for all the good to come into your life. You, in a sense,give permission to the universe that it's OK for you to be happy,healthy,wealthy, and wise (as they say). You'd be surprised, as to what comes back to you when you ask. Now take that deep breath you've been holding on to inside and let/blow it all out. You'll feel so much better when you do.

I only wish the best for you, dear reader.

Thoughtful Thoughts.......

If you are Blessed to have Children (no matter the circumstances) THEY should be your Greatest Accomplishment for they are a Gift to you, and in turn, you Gift them, into the Universe.

Thoughtful Thoughts.......

In great universal scheme of things, we are quite insignificant and yet, at the same time, we are most significant to those around us....

I was turned on to this video this evening and thought it appropriate and somewhat important to share with you, dear reader. It's always a good idea to look outside of your comfort zone now and then. It broadens the mind and helps to understand which may be an opposing view to some. You cannot grow if you remain stagnant in your thinking. Constant evolution in thought and perspective is so very vital in attaining peace and harmony. We need not all agree but we do need to be tolerant and kind.

So here, I give you something to ponder about in reference to our existence.

You may not agree with it's premise, but then again, you may also choose to agree in it's Total Glory..... I wish you Peace of Mind in knowing that we are all Miracles.

QUOTES......

"Every time you appreciate something; every time you praise something; every time you feel good about something, you are telling the Universe: "MORE OF THIS, PLEASE!" You need never make another verbal statement of this intent and, if you are mostly in a state of appreciation, all good things will follow you."
Abraham Hicks

Thoughtful Thoughts.......

 The love that you give, lives on through eternity, for it is infinite.What you have left behind, through the lives you have touched, travels from one generation to the next. Therein, embedding itself into the universe.

Sweet Justice.......

After hearing ( and seeing) today's verdict of "not guilty" in the Casey Anthony trial today and walking around initially feeling full of angst, anger and dismay because of it, I decided to take a step back and reevaluate the situation. In doing so, I thought that this would be a great opportunity to speak to the justice we feel entitled to, on a personal level, when we are the victims of personal and emotional crimes committed by those around us.

In other words, we have all felt, amongst a myriad of circumstances, at one time or another, taken advantage of, lied to, defamed, etc. These personal affronts to our being, leave us feeling a need to avenge the perpetrator, whether justified or not. We feel that we cannot have closure unless we can get whoever "back" for doing us wrong. These are all normal initial responses of self righteousness and justice. Acting upon them can be quite risky and in some instances, may leave us feeling worse about our situation rather than better. The satisfaction factor we expect may leave us unfulfilled and empty instead of victorious and proud.

If the opportunity to confront such bad behavior of another does not present itself to you, you may feel cheated out of justice. You may also feel cheated, in the same way, if you do not see the negative consequences of their abhorrent behavior struck upon them, in what you deem a timely and severe enough manner.

Life is funny in many ways. One of them being, in the way in which people who behave badly get "paid back". You see, dear reader, justice knows no time. Justice knows no limits. Justice follows an evil soul through out eternity. On occasion, we are allowed to see or hear about the just rewards handed back to the offenders.

There are also times in which we do not have this privilege, this satisfaction, this triumph over evil. We must know this, in order to accept the fact, that all will be justified in the face of honor and balance, even if we do not have the opportunity to serve the sweet justice ourselves. That it will be done, at some point in time, whether in this life or the next.

We should also realize that people have to feel horrible about themselves in the first place, in order to be horrible to others. Which confirms the fact that their daily lives are not happy and peaceful ones. Their souls do not smile, they frown. Their hearts are not open, they're closed. Their eyes do not see the beauty in others, only the pain and suffering that reflects back to them in the mirror, every single day they walk this earth.

Time, as we know it, truly does help heal all wounds and there is comfort in knowing that you do not have to be there to see sweet justice served. Just know, dear reader, that it will be done. It is the way in which the universe keeps itself in balance. It's the way in which you must feel in order to move forward with a sense of peace. This is a difficult task, I know, but I also know that the balance of life holds true.
