Tumblrin' through Life

Let's be weird together

Everyday that I am alive is a miracle. But any day can be made better with a dose of Shel Silverstein. Truth is truth and we're always better off knowing it.

What I've learned from my life lessons? Once I am able see growing pains as gifts and be grateful for everything that happens to/for me, I cannot help but laugh loudly and constantly. A smile is a regular feature on my face just like my eyes, nose and mouth. And my life? Endless miracles and oh so so so amazingly awesome. That is my wish for you.

Truth is always true, and there's nothing that can alter it. While we may have different, or opposing, interpretations of countless facts, certain truths remain indisputable and constant. We may disagree on the meaning of life, but who among us can argue the inevitability of death? There will be times when telling the truth is the hardest thing you can ever do. Yet, no matter what you say or do, the truth will always find a way to reveal itself. Truth telling and living a life of truth is the best way to live and most loving thing you can do for yourself and others.

Optimism, hope and faith are to the soul what food, drink and air are for our bodies.

Peace to ALL. Love to ALL.

Maya Angelou once shared her secret to a good life. She said, "Always do your best until you know better, then do better." This became my life motto. Through out my travel through India and Asia, I've learned the importance of doing nothing, even though this goes against everything I've been raised to believe and feels very unatural to me. Yet, everything around me shows me how false and dangerous this mentality can be. We all have to power off our phones and electronics, cars, etc, so they can rest. Even the sun has to set each day. Why did I think I am so different that I can l running without rest? And we all know how well we feel or function when we're running on fumes.

For almost a decade, I've committed myself to living a life of truth. I don't have to say everything that pops up in my head but whatever I do say and do, I make sure that I speak and live my truth. And when I'm proven wrong, I apologize and make corrections. This is the only way I know to show my respect and love for my fellow human beings, and to keep my karmic balance sheet clean. I've been complimented for being unapologically me and I've always been a little troubled by it. God, or whatever higher power you believe in, made me uniquely me. Why should I be ashamed or to apologize for what makes me me, especially when I try my very best to never cause anyone or anything harm?

We all know the old saying, "a picture says a thousand words". I'm not sure how true that really is but I do love the picture below as it says all that I want to say on this Monday morning. My hope is that it'll put a smile on your face and gives you a little boost of encouragement to keep on keeping on. You can do it, beautiful. Make this a magic Monday.

I've experienced the gamut of emotions through out my life. One of the hardest feelings for me to handle is the feeling of hopelessness, especially when there is nothing that I can do. Like the war, violence and atrocity in Ukraine at the moment. I feel terrible but what can I actually do? This is where prayers come in play. No matter what, I can always pray. Those who know or understand vibration and energy can talk about the power of prayers on those terms. I don't have such talents and can only speak from my own personal experience. Praying is something that I can do. Believing in a power that's greater than my own is something that I can do. Making the conscious choice to trust in the power and miracles of the universe is something that I can do. So, praying feels good to me. These are my prayers for you, and everyone on this earth. I wish for you peace of body, mind, heart and soul.
