Today is a day to focus on happiness. Happiness for me can only be defined by me. No one can tell me what will make me happy. I know that happiness does not come from the outer world, but is the deep contentment that comes from being at peace with myself. True happiness is not fleeting, but is deeply rooted. Today I will cherish my happiness and share it with everyone I can.

“Medusa teaches us that we have the right to defend ourselves. So often we are taught that we need to put up with the actions of others in a quiet way, demurely accepting what others would put upon us. She shows us that we need to stand our ground when someone would do us harm. We are not here to quietly accept the intentions of others. We have the right to be safe.
Medusa tells us to know our power and to honor the gifts that swim within our veins, even though sometimes it may feel like more of a curse than a blessing. She brings us the wisdom of the snake, of transformation and of rebirth. She asks that we too hold up the mirrored shield towards those that would wish us ill and reflect back upon them what they have created.
Medusa reminds us that there will always be those who will spit venom at us, in word and deed. That does not make them right. We are not here to be the plaything of others. We are Sacred Priestesses of the Divine. And we will not back down.”

Rise up, open your wings and shine. Bring your projects and plans out into the light, into manifestation.
Allow yourself to be cherished. Mother Earth is protecting you with a shield of love and light.
Don’t be afraid to take charge or use your voice. Be strong.

Will we spend our time in memory of the past, existing solely in the ‘now’ moment, or in our dreams of the future?
Live … past, present or future?
Living in memory is like listening to a skipping record over, and over again.
Living in the present is awesome, since we never know if we’ll get another moment.
Yet, can the future exist without us envisioning it first?
Perhaps living in memory, or living constantly in the ‘now’ moments is what actually places us in a Zombie category. Non-creators. Simply moving around, eating, buying, and remaining surface level in life.
The artist must envision something before creating. Otherwise it’s just spilled paint … or sawed up wood… or, insert options here ___________.
The future MUST be visualized.
By someone …
It is my perception, of self and what I experience around me, that the majority of life spends time in all three aspects of awareness simultaneously … while someone(s) else create our bigger picture, our future.
Perhaps now is the right time to real in memory from our past, stepping out of the now moment, and seeing the future we wish to dwell in, making moves toward that end.
Do everything with love for what you believe in, for the future that you see in mind. Always for the love of this vision … or whatever else it is you believe in, even if it is yourself …
Especially …
The world could change dramatically (we know it is in other ways, certainly) … let us hope NASA is correct.
Asteroid Could Strike Earth Before Election Day But Won’t Cause Major Damage, NASA Says
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) predicts that an asteroid with a 0.41 percent chance of hitting Earth will pass by our planet Nov. 2, the day before U.S. election day.
“Asteroid 2018VP1 is very small, approx. 6.5 feet, and poses no threat to Earth!” NASA Asteroid Watch tweeted Sunday. “It currently has a 0.41% chance of entering our planet’s atmosphere, but if it did, it would disintegrate due to its extremely small size.”
“It’s quite an accomplishment to find these tiny close-in asteroids in the first place, because they pass by so fast,” CNEOS Director Paul Chodas said in a press release. “There’s typically only a short window of a couple of days before or after close approach when this small of an asteroid is close enough to Earth to be bright enough but not so close that it moves too fast in the sky to be detected by a telescope.”

Today is a day to focus on right action. Negative thoughts and feelings don’t lead to right actions. I need to let those thoughts, feelings, and ideas go and make all of my thoughts right thoughts. Right thoughts lead to right actions. Right actions lead to good results. Today I welcome only good things into my life.

The sun doesn’t fight or hate the darkness of night, instead it loves to share its shine. You can’t get rid of an ideology you despise, but you can empower one you love. Stop the struggles with one another. Stop battling yourselves. Start instead empowering, enlivening, and focusing upon that which you wish to love and support, and even when you feel the need to battle something in your 3D world, do it with love for what you desire, for in that reality every soul will “win.”
There are so many realities we get to choose from. Those of darkness and those of light.
Sometimes, those in darkness provide the warmest embrace, and sometimes those in light can be the cruelest we’ve encountered.
Even though we ARE polarity, we are able to choose what we emit into this world. We get to practice at harnessing our own power, giving that which is good, and holding, and transmuting that which can cause harm.
Just because we ARE both light and dark does not mean we must spew darkness into the world.
What we place our attention on is where our energy goes.
Where our energy goes, things grow.
We are at choice, always.
“Lots of people hardly ever feel real soil under their feet, see plants grow except in flower pots, or get far enough beyond the street light to catch the enchantment of a night sky studded with stars. When people live far from scenes of the Great Spirit’s making, it’s easy for them to forget His laws.”
–Tatanga Mani (Walking Buffalo), STONEY
Nature is life’s greatest teacher. The natural laws are hidden in nature. Hidden are solutions to everyday problems such as; conflict resolution, how to forgive, lessons about differences, how to manage organizations, how to think. Hidden are feelings. You can look at something and you will feel it. At night, have you ever looked at the sky when there are no clouds? As you look at all the stars, your heart will become very joyful. You will walk away feeling joyful and peaceful. We need to visit nature so we can see and feel these things.
My Creator, let me learn nature’s lessons.

“Weeks before my son died, we were still hopeful that he would recover from his second brain surgery and regain some quality of life. He wanted to live. He fought so valiantly. As a mother, I could not be prouder of my son.
So…go ahead…take a knee.
Btw….just a little bit of information about this picture. This is physical therapy working with my son. She asked him to sit on the side of the bed. Michael…on his own, chose to STAND ….with whatever power he could muster, AND SALUTE.
My dad…who was helping his only grandson during physical therapy and saw what Michael was doing…asked for a picture to be taken. (So glad he did….and if anyone knows my dad…he is not a real fan of pictures, but he felt this was THAT IMPORTANT. )
This is a picture of a UNITED STATES MARINE showing respect with the last bit of energy he had in this earthly life. But you entitled fools go ahead and kneel.”
