Before We Were

image

The next time you find yourself being short, rude, prejudice against a group take a moment to realize before we were “groups” we were the same.

Before someone told us we were white we were human.
Before someone told us to worship a man we were human.
Before someone told us to act black we were human.
Before someone said marry your own race we were human.
Before someone introduced the mystical and abstract existence of economics and wealth we were human.
Before someone said my life is more valuable then yours we were human.
Before someone said you don’t matter because you are too young we were human. Before someone said you are irrelevant because you are too old we were human.
Before someone told us to wear this or that we were human.
Before someone told us to believe one way is better than another we were human.
Before someone told you to stay in your own country we were human.
Before someone told us to love her but not him we were human.

Before someone told us we couldn’t change the world we were human.

Humans can change the world!
“Before we were” by #LibertyMadison

When you respect all of life you will begin to see the rippled effects. When you do not disaster awaits.
Choose life, love, and happiness
If you are ever unsure of what to do or how to move forward please ask yourself One question, What would love do?
You Only have two options in life
Love or Fear

No matter how sophisticated “Fear” looks. Always choose Love!
You will thank yourself!
I am not going to tell you its just about choice. No that’s a myth. Choosing an apple or an orange is just about choice. However affecting lives has two choices “Love or Fear”.

Thank you for reading this impromptu open letter and poem. It was written by me today July 23 in honor of a loved one. The words were flowing through me the moment my eyes flew open. It took me 7 minutes to write this piece and I absolutely adore it. I am thankful I had my Samsung Note right next to me in order to capture this moment.

And yes I do sleep with my phone!

Trust yourself. You were born with the answer

image

I often forget to trust myself. I sometimes trust others more than listening to my own intuition and guidance and it falls short. You always know what’s best! If you are UN sure then Listen to whatever answer brings your highest joy. The best (right) answer or solution brings life, joy, peace. There are NEVER exceptions to that. When you talk yourself into going against it you are betraying your soul. Its truly that simple!
Being kind, compassionate, and loving is Always right.
Being “right” by political standards change with the changing of the guards.
Be true to your highest good!

Is my Heart in Texas?

Is my heart in TEXAS?
The brain is such an amazing entity! Today, I sat down at my laptop to get on craigslist and my hands automatically started typing “dallas.craigslist.org” I was like WTH- I have not been to that site in years, its always sfbay.craigslist.org.

Then last month at an event this guy asked for my phone number and without hesitation – a blink or sigh- I said “214.682… oh I’m sorry I don’t know why I just did that, my actual number is 415.937…” I’m sure he thought I was not giving him my correct contact info.

Guess I had Texas somewhere in my spirit …. so hello folks in Texas!

June 28: Why I am a Californian. Ode to a Grandmother who saved my life

June 28, 1919

Today is my grandmothers birthday, well my great grandmother. My grandmother died before I came around these parts. The details of her death haunt me to this day.

Today, June 28, I have always remembered because my great grandmother loved to go to Sizzler on her Birthday! She is the reason I am a Californian. She moved from Louisiana to Arkansas (where her parents were slaves/sharecroppers), at the age of 16 or 18 she left her family and moved to California!

Fast forward a few decades and here I am.

That’s the simple version

June 28, 1919.

I recall it like it was yesterday, she was in the kitchen on the phone with her friend planning her trip to Sizzler, and I thought she did this before,and in that moment I looked up at a wall calendar hanging right by the yellow rotary phone, June 28 was circled and it was her Birthday! I was 5. I never forgot it. I never forgot her.

I was not her favorite person in the world. She said I looked too much like my daddy,which was unacceptable to her, but it didn’t matter to me if she liked me first, second, third, or fourth, she was family and I loved her.She literally saved my life.

I was almost killed as youngling and I guess on an energetic level that is why I was drawn closer to her. The woman who literally saved my life. The details of which still haunt me to this day. I never truly understood how courageous she was but I do now. If it were not for my Great Grandmother I would not be able to write this post.

Thank you June 28, 1919

From your eternal friend June 28, 2013

Easter Sunday! Family for ALL

A message to everyone who is not with their family or cant be with their family or simply those who do not have any family.
It is nice to have loved ones,you experience a love like no other,it is the only purpose of life.
But don’t forget that Family is not defined by blood. Many times you will find that your blood family can hurt you more than any stranger on the street. Family is defined by commitment, loyalty, and love. A man and wife are not blood but they are family. A dog and the owner are not blood but they are family.
Having family is the most important accomplishment you can achieve.
But not having any family does not mean you are lonely. Loneliness is a state of mind.
You may be alone but that does not mean you have to be lonely.Reach beyond your comfort zone and grab on to love, peace, forgiveness,and realize scientifically that we are all one!
We are all family!
Enjoy your Easter Sunday!

Final Day of 40 Days For Life

40 Days For Life is a worldwide movement that values Life. Plain and simple; any other words are just confusing details open to limited interpretation. The value of life is not open to conversation or debate. It simply is!

40 Days For Life is ….you got it! 40 Days of dedicated grassroots call -to – action strategy that protects life. February 13 – March 24 you can find people in meditation, prayer, action, and conversation that results in peace, love, and saving the lives of families across the globe.

I am 100% behind this movement, not because I am Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Atheist, Republican, Liberal, Tall, Short, Asian, or Smart. I am behind it because I truly know the only real thing that matters; LIFE . Everyone knows that at the core. It just takes some longer to arrive there in order

As you all know, I value life, peace, love and the present moment. As Eckhart Tolle  says “The present moment is all you have” . Simply put he explains that past and future are thought forms,pure hallucinations that will drag you away from the only thing you have,the present moment.

In the present moment the only you have is acceptance of what is. Life. When you go against that in anyway you go against yourself, nature, and the source of who you truly are.

Go with life not against it

Transcend your limiting labels and realize deeply that you ARE life, you don’t have it.

I plan to start my own movement for life and I am certainly going to adopt some of these peaceful solutions to saving the MOST VULNERABLE lives across this planet; the young human!

Groupon Fans mourn the loss of CEO

Groupon Fans mourn the loss of CEO, Andrew Mason.

Loss is relative.

He has been fired. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the quote!

“I was fired today. If you’re wondering why… you haven’t been paying attention. From controversial metrics in our S1 to our material weakness to two quarters of missing our own expectations and a stock price that’s hovering around one quarter of our listing price, the events of the last year and a half speak for themselves. As CEO, I am accountable.”

The Take away: Have a FREAKIN AWESOME QUOTE next time you are fired!

Tell me what you said to your employer/partner/client  the last time YOU were fired!

Ill start….

“Yea this wasnt working out for me either, I was going to contact you next week to end this relationship, I wish you the best!

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Living in the moment

“If the past or the future existed some scientist would have discovered it by now” Eckhart Tolle.

You cannot live in the past or the future, they do not exist . The only moment you have is this one.

You spent your entire adolescent being programmed to look in the future or work through the past but no one ever tells you how to actually live your REAL life. Real life as in the one you are in right now. Its amazing we literally live in the eternal now!
