The Journey to Remember...

We come into this world and immediately begin to learn, how to talk, walk, speak, etc.  We are continually learning how to be a human.  We are told and shown by example how humans behave and are told what to believe.  We strive to learn as much as possible, we go to school to get diplomas and read books on subjects that we are told are important to be successful. 

But what we may not realize is that we already know everything.  Our Soul is part of God and we know everything when we arrive, we begin to forget when we are told what to learn and believe.  When we have the experience that something we were taught does not sit right with us and does not ring true we are remembering what we already know to be true.  Our instinct is so valuable, it gives us clues to remember, little nudges or twinges in the stomach when we hear something off or do something that is not true to who we are.

We think that we live this life to continually learn but in reality we are here to remember.  Our journey is to live a human life while remembering what and who we are when we enter this lifetime.

It can take a lifetime to forget what has been learned and remember what has always been.

What have you remembered?

Let's talk about Love...

With Valentine’s Day upon us I thought it appropriate to talk about Love. When Valentine’s Day nears everyone thinks of romantic love.  Who will be my Valentine?  I wish I had a Valentine, etc., however they seem to forget about the most important person to love, oneself.

Why is it so hard to love yourself?  It is so much easier to have compassion for others than it is to feel it for yourself.  Is it just because we have been taught that it is selfish to care about yourself, that you should put others first?  I am realizing that when we put others first and give others the love we do not give ourselves we are stealing from our own self-worth.

I have learned that loving others without loving myself only makes me feel less valuable, always questioning if others love me and wanting them to show that they care, when what I really need to do is love myself and do things that are good for my soul, that way it will not matter if others love me or not, my self-worth will be self-given.

When we love ourselves we don’t have the nagging self-doubt, the criticisms constantly playing in our head, it is then much easier to give love to others.  It is easier to give ourselves fully to others when we are not constantly judging ourselves and critiquing every move we make.  If we see the love in ourselves then we will see the love in everyone.  We all deserve to be loved. 

This Valentine’s Day do something nice for yourself, look in the mirror and appreciate the person looking back at you. 

Calling All Angels...

The song Calling All Angels by Train has always had personal meaning to me.  Today I was on my way home from the grocery store and was listening to the song.  I got the sense that I was to send a message out.  Here goes...  

The words to the song are very powerful and have meaning to all of us at different times in our lives. The song tells us to make the call, ask the Angels to show us signs that things will work out and that they will be with us through the tough times.  This is especially true now.  We as a nation and a world are going through massive changes.  How we handle these changes will define our future and the future of our children and grandchildren.  We need to look at each other as loving souls sharing the same world.  If there are changes you would like to see be made, get out there and do something positive to make the change.  Before getting angry at the opposing side do your research on the matter at hand.  Have intelligent conversations on the issues instead of heated arguments that contain no factual information.  We need to ask for the courage to make changes in the most respectful way. 

To me, some of the most powerful lines in the song, in regard to current times, are;

I need a sign to let me know you're here
All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere
I need to know that things are gonna look up
'Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup
When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head
When you feel the world shake from the words that are said

Our words are the most powerful tool we have for change and they must be used for the greatest good, not used to demean or degrade others. 

If you are not sure what to do to make things better, I have a suggestion --  Be the Light, shine your Light on others, be peaceful, be loving and always look for the Light in others.  This may seem simple but it is the most powerful thing we can all do for this world.  Call the Angels they will answer.

Calling All Angels

Train

I need a sign to let me know you're here
All of these lines are being crossed over the atmosphere
I need to know that things are gonna look up
'Cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup

When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head
When you feel the world shake from the words that are said

I need a sign to let me know you're here
'Cause my TV set just keeps it all from being clear
I want a reason for the way things have to be
I need a hand to help build up some kind of hope inside of me

And I'm calling all angels
I'm calling all you angels

When children have to play inside so they don't disappear
And private eyes solve marriage lies cause we don't talk for years
And football teams are kissing Queens
And losing sight of having dreams
In a world that what we want is only what we want until it's ours

I'm calling all angels
I'm calling all you angels
