The Journey Continues

The Senior alert becomes effective September 7 School is in session.  What do I want to say to this? I am speechless at the moment. As I continue to take pictures of what is to be his last official year of school and both relieved and not so much so. More thoughts later. I am off to a place for a moment to live life in peace.

In a moment

In a moment life could change. A stillness can erupt and nothing will be the same.

In a moment time could stop all tears from shedding with words of love.

In a moment a baby will cry and one will die, because we have done something or nothing to contribute.

In a moment people will become silent and all plans will end.

In a moment you can change a life by loving another.

What comes after

This year started out with such anticipation of what January 20th held in store for us. Excitement still lives after that extraordinary day. I say it with honor and pride as it rolls off my tongue. President Obama and our first lady Michelle what a blessing for our country. Some people still think they are dreaming. Wake up people, you are not dreaming. Yes, it is true. There is an answer to our global prayers for change. It has come to the White House that was built by our ancestors. Glory to the most high. Indeed we are thankful for your grace. On that day as the tears flowed with joy, a new nation was born unto us. A nation of people who vow to help change a country in desperate need of an over haul. Cleaning out the cob webs that were to thick to see through. Now that is a task for anyone.

As we go through this life with a renewed sense of purpose to all people. I am excited still at all the stars in the sky that our children can all reach if given the opportunity. So what does come after all the excitement? Work. Some of the hardest work that will ever be done. Despite the ignorant who send their wishes for our president to fail, he will successful at pulling a nation to it’s feet. Not because of who he is, but because of who we are.

I am doing my part to teach my children and others what it means to be yourself. What it means to be confident. what it means to a member of a country  who is struggling to survive  and giving back to those in need. To help feed and clothe those who cannot do it for themselves, so that they will be able to help another in need. So what comes after that glorious day? work I say. work hard to open your  heart and mind. DO not let yourself get stale in the same old things of the past. Reach for the new beginning that has come at last. So what does come after?

The New America

Wow! My life has changed. Never could I have imagined that this would happen. You can ask yourself, did this really happen? Yes it did. Are we better people? That would remain to be seen. It is nice to see some of the changes taking place-connecting to one another.

Changes keep coming. Shifting the realities of time. Making people feel that all things can happen based on what we do with ourselves. How we make the changes in ourselves is what really matters.

Our children our changing right before our eyes. Becoming what they were born to become – no negative influences do we need to include.

I am changing into someone I want to become. How about you? Who do you want to become now?

In the gentle night ….

Your thoughts are a part of who you will become.

A New Day is Dawning

We wonder what the day will bring as our nation begins to come to terms with change. The change becomes more evident as the days change into the next. This history making event effects an entire world. On this moment of change I am faced to recognize my own ideas about what is to come. I am excited for our nation as we begin to heal the wounds. We must begin the long journey together to make a new life for our children who will inherit what is to be.

All things will come to pass – new ideas will form and life will begin a new. As I continue to acknowledge that it will be what it’s going to be. Let us begin with compassion for all in a world that is in desperate need of just such a thing.

Let us define compassion by looking into the eyes of our brother and sister and recognizing that we are in deed one. A new day is dawning – are you ready? I am.
