When my father moved onto his property he said it was a dump. People had been dropping their garbage there for years … old beds, refrigerators, you name it. It took him a couple years just to get rid of the trash.

He then proceeded to plant trees and manacure the place. Forty acres of beautifying takes time, and he enjoyed every minute of it.

These days, people from all over are calling him wanting to purchase his property. California, Florida, Washington … ALL over, people are harassing him about selling his land, his home of the last 35+ years. The shits of it is, they are offering HALF of the value of the land, and offering NO thing for the labor he has put into beautifying it.

No one wanted it while it was a trash dump, they simply added to its deterioration … and now they are clamoring for it … even though he tells them straight off it is not for sale.

The same is for people.

Many of us were once looked upon as though we were garbage, worthless bits of flesh to be owned, abused and tormented as someone else saw fit … they trashed our beautiful, childlike persona from a very early age, and they wanted us to adopt their opinions and views of us …. indeed, the majority of us did.

But we grew strong.

We nurtured and cared for Self like no other ever had.

We kicked them from our life.

We became our own Best Friend.

We learned how to walk alone, to be comfortable in the silence of our minds, and we discovered what lay in the very depths of Self.

We mended our broken heart.

We faced our triggers and we dismantled them.

We became master of our emotions rather than being ruled by them.

We decided to be alone was better than compromising our Self Worth, our personal Value, and we in no way permit these ones to take up residence here any longer.

But they clamor for it.

They want it bad.

They see us shining and bright, the diamond, once in the rough, sparkles.

Fortunately we have come to a place where we are able to say, NO. My integrity is not for sale, nor is my Life Force Essence, my purest energies, or my Soul.

The Polluters, the Violators, are not welcome here, where the Sun shines in its Highest Glory.

We are Sovereign.

We are Divinity in motion.

This Life is Ours.

And we share it with those who have also arrived in this place.

Lifting each other.

Rising even higher together.

Into the New.
