Breaking News!! It’s A New Day!!! October 18th, 2024- Day 62 Mind , Body, Spirit, Alignment. Today is a day that “Great Spirit” has ordained for your life and soul expression.

Breathe in the energetic vibration that holds our mind, body, and spirit in connections and in alignment.  If they are not in balance and are not cared for equally,
we are discombobulated.  Out of sync.  Out of body. Out of rhythm.

Daily Mantra:

There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

Chat for the day: 

We are so inundated with so much stimulus and sense of uncertainty about what is coming at us next, that we are struggling to be in our sacred space of balance and tranquility.  It can seem like we cannot catch our breath.  It can seem like we are running around in circles and going now where fast.  We hurry up to hurry up and it just throws us into a spin that tosses our “being elements-mind-body-spirit interconnection off base and out of alignment. We cannot function with our “being elements” going in opposite directions.  We need to have all of our essence working together so that we able to navigate successfully in this upside down inside out world. 

There is a reason for every element of who we are and who we will evolve to be.  We need to be cognizant of the workings of our mind-body-spirit connection and how important it is to give each element the love and devotion it deserves, after all these 3 elements sustain our life.  They work in conjunction with each other, and they feed off each other.  When one element is off base it impacts the other two.  It is a fine line to balance on but when everything is operating in your vibrational rhythm, the world is amazing, and your life is full of promise and beauty.  So how do we do this?  It starts with admitting that we need to have balance and feel grounded in our life experience.  We each have to figure out what tools we want to use to keep our “Being elements” in alignment and running at full capacity. Love your body!  Love your mind and respect what it does for you. Love and honor your soul for it is the expression of  your “divine identity”.

The principle to live by that will support our destiny path is:

    A girl has to do, what a girl has to do to take care of her business!

    Daily Mantra:

    There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

    Chat for the day: 

    I can hear my Mom’s voice in my hear telling me to-“Don’t put off for tomorrow , what can be done today!”  I guess that has been an impetuous for my work ethic all my life.  I operate within this framework and at the same time know that I will only get done in a day what God intended!  This helps me keep a balance -most of the time!  It is work in itself trying to keep a balance in as many areas of my life as I can.  I do understand from my life experiences, that it is important to be a “responsible adult” and take care of my own business.  It is not appropriate or fair to leave my affairs for someone else to handle or worst, have to clean up. 

    We have to make an effort to “handle our business” and not fall into a trap of avoidance by entrenching ourselves in distractions.  Distractions can be bold and hard to avoid or quietly creep into our sphere to capture our attention and we don’t realize it till we are drawn away from what we should be attending to and wrapped up in “Stuff” we don’t need to be doing.  Wow!  Life can be tricky and put us in a position where we are called to really be intentional about our time and priorities. I can testify that when you are in the habit of “taking care of your business”, you can have peace of mind, that  impacts your physiological, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.  

    The principle to live by that will support our destiny path is -take care of your business!

    Breaking News!! It’s A New Day!!!  September 17th, 2024- Day 35- Today is a day that “Great Spirit” has ordained for your life and soul expression.

    Kindness is innate when we are children,
    but it has to be nurtured so that it continues to be part of how we treat ourselves and others.

    Daily Mantra:

    There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

    Chat for the day: 

    We are all so consumed with trying to make it in this world that we forget to extend ourselves beyond what we think we have the capacity to do.  We forget to be kind to ourselves and if we are emotionally depleted, we have difficulty being kind and thoughtful of others.  We can be curt and distant withholding of our emotions that if expressed can be just the act of kindness someone needs.  It is amazing the feeling of joy that wields up in you when you see what your act of kindness does for someone.  It does not have to be big ovations of things that can bring a sense of joy and feeling loved and appreciated. 

    It is simple acts of genuine kindness and thoughtfulness being shared with someone else that is a reciprocal experience.  This human connection is the fuel that drives our lifeline of being a part of humanity.  We need each other.  We need kindness to quiet the flames of hatred and “isms”, that are plaguing our lives on so many fronts.  We need the gentleness and kindness to counteract the stuff that is tearing us apart.  We yearn for kindness in our interactions with one another.  We have the potential to be the agents of kindness in this world, we just have to show up for one another.

    The principle to live by that will support our destiny path is: kindness

    Breaking News!! It’s A New Day!!!  September16th, 2024- Day 34. Today is a day that “Great Spirit” has ordained for your life and soul expression.

    Celio is completely active in his life
    because that is what children do.
    How did we as adults,
    let this gift slip through our fingers!

    Daily Mantra:

    There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

    Chat for the day:

    Well, I asked my grandchild Celio what I should be writing about today in respect to “Breaking News- It’s a New Day”, especially since this blog is based on his greeting to us since he was 2 years of age. He told me to write to you about “Being active in your Life”! Wow I thought to myself! Something that seems so natural and automatic for human beings and yet, the more in depth I thought about it in relationship to how we are living our lives as adults, what must it look like to children. I think there is a difference in being busy in our lives in contrast to being active in our lives. When we are busy in our lives that is when we are on automatic pilot, going through our day handling all the important and sometimes trifling things that pop up to kidnap our attention and our ability to feel and reflect what we are doing and why we are doing the things we are engulfed in. When we are active in our life, we come from a place of being intentional about being present in the decision to respond, intentional on how we will respond, intentional on our expectations of how what we are doing is beneficial to ourselves and others, and intentional on evaluating if we have made the right decision.

    When we are active in our life, we are alive not just physically, we are alive spiritually and we feel the significance and see the beauty in our life.  We are better able to deal more effectively with stress because we operate in a way that we pace ourselves and realize that we don’t have to do everything that comes into the sphere of our life experiences, and that ultimately, “we only get done in a day what “Great Spirit” intended us to accomplish and experience on this “divine life’s journey”!  Oh, what a relief it is to approach life by being “actively alive and engaged in our life!  The quality of life when experienced with your soul expression is a totally different reality.  It can actually bring more joy and peace in every cell of your physical body.  Take hold of your life! Activate your ability to be in full expression of who you really are and how you want to live each day! It’s your life!!!!

    The principle to live by that will support our destiny path is: Being active and involved in our life.

    Sunday Morning Prayers-#39 Can We Just Get Over Living Our Lives Solely in the Physical World While Our Real Identity Resides in The Spiritual World?

    The experience of the Solar Eclipse this week really touched my heart and soul.  It was validation for me of the power and omnipotence of “Great Spirit”.  For me it was “how could anyone on the face of this earth or universe doubt the Presence of God”. It gave my faith a boost to know that “with God all things are possible”, and that ultimately our destiny is not in the hands of ‘mankind’.  For me that was like the old spirituals say,
     “Ain’t That Good News”!

    Dearest “Great Spirit”,

    We stand before you struggling to make sense of how we are operating in our life.  We feel and see the impact of not following your lead and choosing to live our lives totally on and in this physical world.  We have forgotten that there is another plane that we can evolve to that will anchor us in a balance between the world of the physical and the world of the “Spirit”.  How do we evolve or just come to the realization that if we operate in and on just this physical plane void of evolving spiritually, we will continue to live in a world of chaos, war, greed, racism-all the isms, and struggle for political power to dictate how we live our lives?  If we don’t rid ourselves of just seeing the physical dimension of another person, and sometimes a whole ethnicity of other people, we will succumb to falling into the disarray that is being created by those who are not awaken or even chose to be awakened  to the possibilities of what humanity has the potential of being.

    “Great Spirit”, we were divinely designed and created to be both physical in the flesh and spirit in the essence of our divine identity, which connects us to you!  We need to understand that this world of the flesh- these bodies that hold our “spirit”, are not eternal.  We must care for them to support our existence on this plane, but our “spirit” calls for far more work and care so that it evolves and supports our “eternal spirit”.  We have a responsibility to acknowledge how we are living our lives, and intentionally take out the time and interest to evaluate who we are being, and how we are living.  We talk about a work-life balance which is important for us to be diligent in doing, but more important and critical now, and that which lays the foundation for everything in our life, is to have a balance between our physicality and our spirituality.

    Lead us, guide us, “Great Spirit”, because we need your loving support in helping us to stay on task with making sure we life the fullness of the life your dreamed and created for each of us.  Your intention for us was to be “In this world, not of this world”, and we need your “call to action” to awaken us from losing sight of the “big life you divined for us”.

    Ashe!  Ashe! Ashe! Amen!

    P.S. Thanks to whom ever got this magnificent picture!!

    A friend of mine posted this and I felt like it depicted all my feelings in this blog. We are indeed “the work of His hands and heart”!

    TINY TIPS 4 MOMS AND DADS

    Tiny Tips for Moms and Dads #59 5 Tools We Have to Gift Our Children- The Art of Meditation, The Art of Re-Centering Their Soul, The Art of Breathing, and Living Without Judgment of Self and Others, and Being Kind and Thoughtful to Family, Friends, and Sometimes People We Don’t Even Know!

    The way in which we live our life can be a demonstration of the treasures we want our children to acquire.

    There are certain things that are precious jewels that as parents and caregivers, we have a joyful responsibility of sharing with them the principles of life that will support them into evolving into loving, kind, compassionate children- which is really who they were designed to be.  We want to endow them with the tool of meditation so that they have a sacred space to go to that will give them a sense of ease and peace when the challenges of life overwhelm them.  The ability to step out of the demands of “being a growing and explorative child” and reset their energy and self-control, is a gift that will usher them through a successful life.

    I remember the little story about my niece Leilani- then age 5 or 6, went to one of her little friends’ houses for a play date that consist of a large group of super active children.  When we came to pick her up, her friend’s mother took my sister aside and told her that at one point Leilani had gone off by herself and sat under a tree.  She was concerned that perhaps something had happened at that she was not happy.  Patty asked Lei why she had gone to sit under the tree by herself, and Lei replied- “Oh Mommy, the other children were just so loud and wild that I needed to go and meditate to try to find some peace”.  The beauty in this story is that even today, Leilani uses that tool with her own children, and it works.

    Next, along with re-centering their soul through the art of meditation, is teaching them to breathe, which is essential in meditation. When they master these major elements to navigate their responses to the challenges they encounter in life, this will position them into handling things in a way that is in their best interest. It is not the circumstances that they will ultimately face in life as adults that defines their character, but the way in which they choose to respond to those circumstances and challenges.

    Another vital element of character development that they need is to value and practice being kind and thoughtful.  It starts in the home as we teach our children to be loving and respectful to us as parents, and to their siblings.  This nature to care for each other and to show love and concern for each other is critical element in the growth and development of their social emotional attributes. There are so many ways to show and guide children in being their authentic selves in truly loving unconditionally.  Of course, our ability to demonstrate all these elements in our own lives is the greatest testimony and example.

    P.S. i just had to go back to this post and make a little addition that I feel validates the principles of the Post!!

    I was thinking about some of the positive activities my niece engages her children in and remembered this: the “I am” activity where the boys were asked to think about words that describe who they are.  It is now a daily affirmation that is posted on their activity supply cabinet, so they see it and review it every day as they go in and out of the cabinet.  Maybe parents should do it too!

    Ua and the “I Am”
