Compassion:
This is a huge capacity for us to hold in our character development. It calls for such an immense ability to unselfishly feel for and act on behalf of the well-being of another human being. It takes us out of a position of judgment and ego and allows us to be open, available and receptive to the circumstances that challenge the strength and fortitude of someone that is in a vulnerable crossroads of their divinely human journey. When we can respond to life with compassion, we allow others to hold on to their dignity and sense of self-worth. Compassion cannot occupy the same space as ego, so we are free to be our highest self.
Being compassionate is a gift to extend to others and receiving compassion from someone else is a gift for you from others. It is a reciprocal relationship to engage in when the opportunity presents itself. I pray that my heart always be open to the hearts of others so that I demonstrate the healing power of compassion that is given unconditionally and without reservations.
So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression. May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.
Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!

If it were not for my angels and my family’s support there would be no way in the world that I could have written over 13,000 blogs in the last 4 years.
The blogs have reached anywhere from 350 people a week to 200,000 people in a week. We never know what will touch someone’s heart space and consciousness. We just keep praying, listening, writing, and posting what “Great Spirit” supplies us with. I’m clear it is a “WE” and not an “I”! Angels are all in the mix!

Celio is Contentment! Celio is Gratitude! We not only learn from our children, but they also keep us in check with what is really important and valuable in life. Thanks, Celio for choosing us as your family.

There is joy all around us, we just have to set an intention to look for it and embrace it. We have the inner power to attract the wholeness and peace that resides in joy.
There is a difference between looking for others to make us happy and finding the joy that people bring into our lives. We are responsible for finding the peace and joy that was part of our divine design from infancy. We giggled! We blew bubbles with our saliva! We could find absolute joy in the simplest things- the sound of a familiar voice, the smile of a tender heart, the gentle touch of a caring parent or family member, playing on our own amusing ourselves in our environment or just gazing at things that captivated our attention and set our curiosity and senses into action.
Without a doubt there were times we needed engagement to be happy, but there were also those times that being with ourselves was enough. Was it that we innately loved ourselves and were capable of making ourselves happy and content? This is a gift in our design that we need to hold fast to.
The very idea that we are enough is in its self an amazing attribute to face the world with. If we can hold on to the “who” we were when we knew how to be in a state of peace, joy, contentment, and gratitude, we would truly live lives that would keep us healthy physically, emotionally and spiritually. This does not mean that we live in a constant state of joy and peace! There has to be the contrast in the human experience.
The important aspect of this is to be able to have a balance and to know how to pull ourselves into our joy, peace, and wholeness, when it is needed. Children for the most part know how to navigate this balance. They don’t complicate their being in the world with holding on to things that initiate pain and discord in their life. We are the ones who model this behavior for them.
I think my work and play with children is what has brought me my greatest experiences of joy. Thank you, my Niki! They keep me in touch with the “child” that lives within my soul. It is in each of us. I do believe that our connection to children offers us the ability to reconnect with that vibration of joy!
So, although no one is responsible for us as adults to make us happy, we as adults are responsible for safeguarding joy, peace and contentment in the lives of our children- not just our biological children- but our children in and of our humanity on a global scale. Tap into your joy! Tap into your peace! Be in your contentment as much and as often as you can. It is in each of us!
So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression. May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.
Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!

Celio is Joy! Celio is Peace! Celio is Contentment! and Gratitude!
When asked what he wanted at the end of this his first Summer session in High School, he said all I want is joy, peace, and contentment. When I picked this blog to voice, I could not believe this showed up! This Was originally written 5 years ago!
We have to always build a bridge over the troubled waters that would seek to divide us and separate us from one another! In truth we are one race, one humanity, all entitiled to the resources and provisions this planet has ordained for us. There is no lack an limitation, just a willingness to release fear and fill our cups with “Love”!

This morning I responded to a post from a mother with an autistic child. She was voicing her concern about the readiness skills of her 5 year old daughter. I don’t usually go into any great detail in offering advice or suggestions, but this post, these words that the mother shared, somehow touch my heart. It was as though I could feel her emotions and the anxiety that had taken hold of her. I feel that recently since we are living in this revengeful regime, that children with special and unique needs are being attacked. It really offends the heart space I carry for children.
It struck me on how little we realize how great a connection we have with one another on a vibrational level. We interact and engage but there is so much more needed and involved in being a part of humanity. We need each other. We need to know that we can count on each other. We need to know that the pain and circumstances of one affects all of us. Sometimes we are totally unaware of when something happens in our lives that it might be because of something that transpired in another person’s life.
Sometimes as beings of this masterpiece –humanity, have to do things for the greater good of all of us that share this world. I think that experience and what we are dealing with now with the current regime and the strife and chaos that is being imposed on not just in our country -the United States- but what is being inflicted on others around the world is another example of how the decisions of those in “Power”, impact all of us as an interconnected humanity.
Can you imagine what condition this world would be in if we worked in concert with one another? Some of us have distance our selves from the moral compass that taught us that, “I am my brother’s keeper”! I for one will always choose compassion over indifference. I will always choose Agape unconditional Pragma –Enduring Love over hate and jealousy. I will always choose to be a voice for those that are enslaved to poverty and injustice. I will always strive to be mindful of the plight of others and live my life from a place of gratitude and humility. I’m too blessed to not share my blessings with others.
So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression. Take a moment to day to reflect on how we are interconnected to all of humanity. May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.
Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!

Look to The Skies From Whence Cometh Our Understanding and Connection to the Spiritual World.
Listen-Reflect- Receive
Looking to Our Ancestors for the Answers
Our Collective Human Experiences
These are my “Clouds” today. I see them clearly posing their majesty above our human constructs.
***For translation of the text of the blog: touch the Blue Globe on the top right-hand corner
“Great Spirit, open our eyes to see beyond what is visible, and soften our hearts to receive what cannot be spoken.”
In this world where we struggle to find common ground, common interest, common values and the ability to communicate effectively with one another, maybe this experience or practice of “Cloud Watching”, could be connected to some of the ancient traditions and used as a means of connecting us, or for some cultures, reconnecting us to “Source”. Maybe it is a simple practice that lends itself to calling us to “Stop”, “Look” and “Listen”, to more nuances of wonder and beauty in our life.
Maybe we can come to an understanding that “Source” – “Great Spirit” is trying in a multitude of ways to “Get our Attention” or “Show us how we are not alone on this journey, that there is love and protection operating in our life, but that we are not “Still enough” or “Cognizant enough” to recognize and appreciate the signs or messages that are every present with us.
We have to be intentional about making a sacred time and space to go into communion with “Great Spirit” so that we don’t miss the messages or confirmations that “Great Spirit” has for each of us as individuals and as a collective humanity. I really believe when you live a life grounded in gratitude, everything in you and around you looks and feels different from the super imposed illusional life that the systems and fraudulent elements of this world try to suck us into. It is living from this vantage point that we find each other and begin to find common ground on which to build a communicative, compassionate and humane humanity.
Find your sacred space and time today. Find your “Cloud” to gaze at and in that moment listen for the still quiet voice that rises up within you to communicate with “Great Spirit”. Trust me, you’ll feel a peace that surpasses all human understanding, and a joy that feeds your soul.
Remember-“May we remember that we are never separate from the sky above us, only invited to notice.”
So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression. May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.

# 9- A Thought 4 Sunday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day! Illumination and Alignment!
Each Day In Your Life is Unique!
***For translation of the text of the blog: touch the Blue Globe on the top right-hand corner
Well, we have come to the end of this series on acknowledging the “Sacred Elements and Aspects of the Days of the Week”. It has been a real eye opener for me and definitely a guide in living each day with purpose, grace, and ease. It has afforded me a new perspective on the value of what each new day provides us in living a life of quality and meaning. Each day I have realized the necessity of becoming intentional about living in gratitude for these sacred aspects of what each day offers. Living in this space ensures us that we don’t need to hesitate about being bold and alive. There is nothing trite, mundane, or ordinary about each day of your life.
Here we are at Sunday. It is a new day! It’s the day of the Sacred Aspects or elements of “Light and Alignment”. It is the day where with the aspect of illumination we are seeing clearly what truth is being revealed in our “Spirit”. WE are seeking to be in alignment with our purpose, values, and the “Truth”, that “Great Spirit” places before us. Nothing and no one can distract us from this alignment or conceal it with untruths. We know what is right and we know what is wrong and we get a visceral response to lies and deceit. We are returning to the “Light” from whence we come.
Today, Sunday, we can step out of the noise and confusion of the Worldly World” and take the time and energy to show reverence and gratitude to the “One Source” that is greater than self, but yet in still resides with in us. WE can relish in the moments of feeling loved and complete. We feel and accept the knowingness that we are always in the presence of the “Presence” and at this moment it is just about you and your “Creator” checking in!
Then there is that “Peace” that surpasses all understanding where we take deep breaths and allow our soul to exhale. We make a conscious choice to rid ourselves of shallow breathing because that shortchanges our physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. It is not natural and it the after effect of allowing the world to have its way with us.
This is when renewal comes into play and we step into being self-directed, self-motivated, and intentional about beginning again! It is the realization that every day is a new day and we are gifted a new beginning. We now know how to let go and release what is not in our best interest. So, these 2 Sacred Aspects work hand in hand. How can we not then be grateful for all of these Sacred Aspects- Elements- Tools -that can navigate our life with purpose, joy, peace, and love-love for self and love for others?
That brings us to the seventh Sacred Aspect which is the fuel that propels our will to live – “Inspiration” because when we are living in the fullness of life, in the fullness of who we are, and recognize that this co-created life plan that we signed up for, is beautifully crafted so that we see ourselves as “Great Spirit’s” inspiration, and we receive a vision for what is being gifted our life. The vision is there you just have to open your eyes to what your soul already knows.
So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression. May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.
Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!

# 9- A Thought 4 Thursday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day! Gratitude Grounded in Faith! Not an After-Thought!
Each Day In Your Life is Unique!
***For translation of the text of the blog: touch the Blue Globe on the top right-hand corner.
Thursday, if we remember is the day of the Sacred Aspects of Faith and Expansion. This is the day we express gratitude not after our blessings, but before our blessings are manifested in the visible world- this earthly plane. Our lives are expressed living in a sacred space of gratitude as our means of being in the fullness of who we are and how we want to live our life.
It is the partnership with the “Divine”, because it is by our faith in trusting the unknown and the unseen that are able to express our gratitude and receive the expansion of our heart, what we are capable of envisioning for our life, and the creative imagination of what is possible for our life’s journey.
Living our life through this portal of Gratitude and Faith we become more generous of spirit and are authentically sharing our abundance not from a place of obligation, but from a heart space that is clear and compassionate. I don’t know if you can feel the same pull I feel, that the universe is asking us to sept through this portal because within it lies so much of what can heal and support not only our life, but has the potential of awakening this urgency in the minds and souls of our collective humanity.
It is a network of spiritual energy that is looking for the connections that will not only validate the potential of our collective connection but will act as the agent of change and wholeness that we need as individuals and as humanity as a whole. The vibration of this collective spiritual energetic field force is a channel that once turned on, will catabolite the trajectory of this planet and its inhabitants to the vibrational dimensional status that has been waiting for us to evolve to.
Questions:
How do you feel when you are in a state of gratitude?
How do you feel when you see what your faith has manifested?
How do you feel when you have not hesitated to give unconditionally?
How do you feel when you recognize that your heart, mind and soul has expanded after you thought you could not have been more- more loving- more faithful-more giving-more compassionate?
So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression. May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity. I feel you smiling, and that’s a good thing!
Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!

#5 -A Thought 4 Thursday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day! Gratitude!
Each Day In Your Life is Unique!
Thursday is a day in which we can take stock of the elements in our life that we are grateful for. We actually do take a lot of things for granted. Little things in our life that seem so natural for us to have that we are not conscious that so many other people have a different life experience that finds them in poverty, homeless, addicted to things that have destroyed the quality and vibrance of their lives. We go about our day not empathetically conscious that there are children all over this planet without families to care for them, food and clothing to protect their bodies and sustain their health. How often do we say to ourselves I am so grateful that I don’t have to listen to bombs blasting all around me fearing for my life.
I had a dear friend from Iran who that suffered from PTSD. We became friends as new teachers in a preschool class and co-taught. She was one of the gentlest most loving teachers I ever had the honor of teaching with. The closer our friendship grew, the more she revealed to me the things she had experienced in her own childhood. She was always on guard and hypersensitive about the children we were left to care for. I can’t imagine why in this day and age, children are still experiencing these travesties. We have in this country so much to be grateful for, even as we are being held hostage by a heartless regime.
I am not happy about the state of our country and what is being perpetrated here and across this planet that is causing crimes against humanity, but at the same time I have to pause and be grateful that I have the consciousness and the soul to recognize how blessed I am. I don’t want to take anything for granted. I feel that by living in a state of gratitude it has allowed me the strength to speak out on behalf of those who are not living the life they deserve because of the conditions of a broken humanity. I know this is a little heavy, but I have to write and speak what my soul wants to express.
Today, Thursday, is calling for us to put our gratitude into action. There is something each of us can do today in the fabric of this day to bring to light what we are grateful for and what we want to make our humanity healed and viable. We need to highlight that there is still more beauty, still more possibilities of loving and being loved, still more abundance for all if we but care and share, still more avenues and resources available to fill in the voids and heal the ills that our world is facing. We are not powerless! We are not fragile and impotent! We are not ignorant- we see what we see-we hear what we hear- and we know truth from lies- and evil from good!
Count your blessings and take the time to name them one by one. Show the world what gratitude looks like-feels like – and what living in gratitude reaps not for just yourself but for others. The power of gratitude can move mountains and quiet the angry seas of greed and misuse of fraudulent powers. Each of us have been ordained to be “The Truth and the Light” of the power of Love. Don’t waste it embrace it!
So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression. May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.
Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!

Today is Resurrection Day and Our Awakening to the Promise of the Eternity of Our Souls! What a price He paid so that we might be free to be our highest self.
The Significance of Easter:
As I rise this morning thousands of years have passed since my Lord and Savior rose from the dead! I asked myself, “How could it be that this event still be of importance to so many people across the face of the earth, that we still celebrate Christ pushing away the stone that encased his physical body from a tomb, and gave rise to a spiritual body that still lives in all of us today, whether we believe He does or not”!
It is merely a choice of whether or not we choose to release that Christ spirit or not! The significance of His death and then His resurrection is to remind all of us that we have choices in our life! We can chose what significance we want the gift of our individual lives to be for ourselves as individuals and what we want it to be for our collective “humanity”!
We still have time in our favor to choose:
Justice or to perpetuate injustice!
Love or hate!
Peace or war!
Greed or gratitude!
Joy or pain!
Compassion or indifference!
Respect or disrespect!
Inclusion or judgment!
Selfishness or unselfishness!
The sacrifice He made was the ultimate one that He did for humanity as a whole, not just for Christians or Jews! Not for only believers of His story that God endowed Him with, but for all of God’s children, because in the eyes of God there is no distinction between men, women and children! In the eyes of God there is no distinction between one religious faith and the “other”!
In the eyes of God there is one race, one world and one purpose, and that is to give us another Easter to celebrate another opportunity to recognize who we are, and what He is still holding for us in the depths of His soul to enrich our lives and bring us out of the darkness of death that we cling to, into the eternal light of love and wholeness that He as a parent dreams for His children!
Take hold of this Easter morning to have a renewal of our soul’s purpose and who we can be in and for the world to fulfill God’s divine intention for all His children!
Happy Easter! He has risen, will you!
Go Gently! Breathe Deeply!
Ashé! Ameen! Amen!

#2 -A Thought 4 Thursday To Carry You Through This Beautiful Day!
Each Day In Your Life is Unique!
Thursday is a day that we can respond instinctually from a space of gratitude knowing that faith is manifested not just in the visible but in the invisible. Can you just imagine how powerful it is to have “Faith” that what you have a desire to manifest goes beyond what you can see and is in the works in the “real world” that we cannot see but have access to through the gift of our “Faith”. We know intuitively that there is more to our existence than what we are engaged with in this earthly plane.
I remember my grandson telling me when he was 4 years old, that we were “just a little speck in the universe and that there was so much more than what we can see”! I just love the connection children have with the “One Source”. Oh, that we would allow ourselves to have that same relationship with “Great Spirit”- “The One Source”! I can only dream of where humanity would be today.
I can tell you that living my life through my “Faith” in my relationship with “Great Spirit”, has given my life a context that has guided me through the most difficult challenges that I have had to navigate and live through. There is something almost magical that transpires physically, emotionally, and spiritually, when you embed yourself in “Faith”, that you are not in this life space alone.
Knowing confidently that you are in partnership with “Great Spirit”, and that this relationship is bonded in “Faith” and “Love”, things will always be in divine right order, even if at first you don’t understand the resolve, itis always in your best interest of your “divined purpose” and safeguarding your “divined identity”.
Today, Thursday, you are being invited to “Step into “Faith” that you are being loved and cared for in this realm and in the world of the invisible.
So, breathe deeply! Close your eyes and visualize something that brings you back into homeostasis with your soul expression. May today bring you a sense of peace, joy, and moments of feeling loved and validated for who you are and what you are gifting humanity.
Ashé! Have a Blessed Day!
