Honor the Heroines and Heroes on Earth/Heart Today and All Who Came in Love and Ascended in Love!

Beautiful People, 

Breathe and Exhale Love Four Times. Honor the Heroines and Heroes on Earth Today and All who came in Love and Ascended in Love. 

Honor Your Mother, the Earth/Heart and let your hearts become nurturing gardens of Peace. Do this for the Future of All Children, and Loving sentient beings. 

Let there be no more senseless killing or talk of petty wars. There is no need for destruction. Put down your weapons, tend the soil and build bridges of tolerance, understanding and compassion. 

Open your hearts and embrace humility. Honor your parents and your children. Love your neighbors. 

Sing with birds in the rain. Dance in the Sun with butterflies. Swim in the ocean with the dolphins. Sit under a wisdom tree and share your hope with your children. Live Joyfully in Peace!

These are the Words from the Heart of Our Blessed Mother Father Creator! Please Honor, Respect Each Other and Live with Love!

Again Breathe and Exhale Love Four Times. Honor the Heroines and Heroes on Earth/Heart Today and All Who Came in Love and Ascended in Love.

Your Turtle Wisdom!

Your Turtle Wisdom!

Beautiful People,

Remember Your Turtle Wisdom...

Even in the most difficult of times;  like the Turtle, when we become patient with Ourselves  and the World, we Breathe in the Oxygen of the Earth gratefully and develop clarity.

It is then with clarity that we are able to travel slowly across unknown waters  or lands to safely to Victory.

We grow stronger with age;  and as we come to know the essence of Our Be-ing,  we offer compassion and mercy as a way  of celebrating and nurturing Love.

Today, open your heart to the Creator's Infinite Grace.

Slowly Breathe and Exhale Deeply Ten Times.

Breathe In Patience and Out Faith.  Breathe In Patience and Out Faith.

There is no need to rush to beat the deceptive, selfish, greedy ones trying to manipulate your Ego.

Decide to honor and use the Gift of Your Turtle Wisdom.  

Every challenge requires Patience, Faith,  Love and a Strong Belief in a Good Outcome!

Do All That You Can Humbly, Honoring the Gift of Divine Purpose and the Grace of Love!

Always, Melony 
Peace Is Possible through Compassion, Cooperation, Courage, Creativity, Deep Listening, Faith, Forgiveness, Good Purpose, Hope, Integrity, Kindness, Mercy, Patience, Respect,Understanding and the Gift of Love!

Melony's Wisdom Mondays: This Culture of War!

Melony's Wisdom Mondays: This Culture of War!

Beautiful People, 

This Culture of War masked in hopes of freedom is Evil! 

This Culture of War Promotes the Death of Peaceful Dreams and makes Victims not Victors!

For no matter what side wins--- the broken hearts, the missing arms or legs, the sound of bombs, machine guns and mortar mixed with the screams of children, women, and men replay over and over in our brains years later...

 As Innocent Children Needing Nurturing offer us Love and Attention which in our woundedness we ignore!

When will Humanity learn that Violence, Killing and War Are Evil!

When will Humanity learn that Compromise, Cooperation, Forgiveness, Truth, Reconciliation and Love for Ourselves and Our Neighbors Is the Only Pathway of a Good Future?

I Breathe Deeply Ten Times. With Each Breath, I Exhale and let go of my Fear.

I still my heart and allow Hope to Breathe.

Together Let Us Pray for the Continuing Awakening of the Human Collective.

May We Continue to Open Our Hearts to the Good Possibility of a Shared Future filled with Compromise, Cooperation, Consistent Civic Engagement, Democracy, Equity, Forgiveness, Truth, Reconciliation, Peace and Love!

We will be more likely to Prosper Collectively when we decide that Compassion has meaning and is useful in Today's World!

Always, Melony

Truth Is Rarely Popular!

Truth Is Rarely Popular!

Beautiful People,

People who scorn Integrity and Truth are often Not willing to become less selfish and change the way they live so that All Children of All Faiths on Earth/Heart will benefit.

Truth is rarely popular except when seen through the lens of the catastrophic.

I still myself in Gratitude. I ask to have the Courage and Fortitude to step into the New Day with Integrity and Truth as my constant companions.

I Breathe Deeply 8 times. I Breathe In Integrity and Truth. I Breathe Out Love and Forgiveness.

Through Love, I have the Courage and Fortitude to live with Integrity and Truth so that Hope can exist; and All the Children of the Earth/Heart can be safe.

When we open our hearts to Compassionate Conversation, we will say No to bullies, guns and violence.

Then Our Children will learn and grow and live the Dream of a Vivid Peace with a Love that Prospers and Can Benefit All on Earth/Heart.

I Breathe In Integrity and Truth. I Breathe Out Love and Forgiveness.
I Have the Courage and Fortitude to Step Into the New Day with Integrity and a Truthful Heart!

Always, Melony

Peace Is Possible through Compassion, Cooperation, Creativity, Deep Listening, Forgiveness, Good Purpose, Hope, Integrity, Kindness, Mercy, Patience, Respect, Understanding and the Gift  of Love!

It Is Your Time to Bloom!

It Is Your Time to Bloom!

Beautiful People,

There Are Times When Life Will Ask Us to Let Go and Move On!  

Sometimes it is difficult but what awaits us in Love is better than our minds or egos can anticipate. 

Every step we take, every lesson learned is special. 

Cherish the difficult moments, the everyday moments, the great moments and even the moments you wish you could forget.   

Always tenderly hone your skills of caring, compassion and deep listening.  Re-member to keep your heart open.

What do you need to Let Go of Today so that you can Prepare to move on with Your Soul's Purpose?   

Now, are you ready to take your next Good Steps with Joy?

If so then, Now is the time to Let Go of what does not serve Your Good!

Being Wise!

Being Wise!

Beautiful People, 

In life we may be asked to be-friend both a fool and a wise one. 

The fool will smile and charm us. 

The fool will take our gifts, ask for more, break their word, and soon leave to find others to manipulate. 

Say Thank You When the Fool Leaves.

Be Always Kind. 

A Wise One asks for nothing, shares whatever they have and vows eternal friendship. 

Be grateful to the fool for they have served as a Teacher and you have learned who NOT to become. 

Pray for the Fool. 

To the Wise One, offer friendship, pray together and continue to build a UniVersal Community of Good with a Loving Foundation. 

Today Breathe and Exhale Deeply Six Times. 

Now Answer the Question...

Are You a Fool or a Wise One?

Always, Melony

Thank You For Your Concern, Collective Prayers and Courage!

Thank You For Your Concern, Collective Prayers and Courage!

Beautiful People,  

Thank You For Your Concern, Collective Prayers and Courage to help build a better World where all of us have the opportunity to prosper in good health, safety, and Love; with unlimited opportunity to live and dream and contribute our unique gifts. I Appreciate YOU!

Recently I was feeling sad and thinking that my work as an ordinary citizen and spiritual peacemaker was insignificant.  A dear friend reminded me that our good actions, thoughts and prayers always do make a difference.

He also told me that alone we are not the change but instead we are the catalyst for change.  In my impatience, I had forgotten that real change, good change that is systemic and long-lasting takes a very, very long time.  And when we look at our existence as humans on Earth, this is true.  In fact, in our quest for material success, sometimes it appears that we have taken a several steps backwards.  

This is why I am asking that we take a  look at the current fearful reality that we have created so that we can move forward with a desire and a commitment to create a World with Cooperative, Sustainable Love where unlimited generations of Our Children can prosper with respect for each other, preserve and share the Earth's abundance, and live in safety with Joy.

Take a Moment to Still Yourself. 

Breathe and Exhale Deeply Ten Times.  In Hope with Love. Out Hope With Love. In Hope with Love. Out Hope With Love. In Hope with Love. Out Hope With Love....

Now let us open our hearts to Truth.  In Atlanta, Chicago, Florida, New York and across the United States, in South America, Ukraine and throughout Europe, Israel, Gaza, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Pakistan, Tibet, Kenya, Nigeria, Sudan, and throughout many other parts of Africa, Asia and Australia--virtually Everywhere on Earth---violence has become a part of the culture we impose on Our Children through entertainment media and improper use of technology.  

Violence is also used to control others, sometimes by law enforcement, the military, militia and terrorists--- many times for political gain, in greed, in despair and desperation, even in quests for Freedom!

 And yet violence never offers hope, compassion, healing, or forgiveness.  Only Courage, Education, Mercy, Respect, Understanding, Wisdom and Love Offer Hope, Compassion, Forgiveness and Healing, As Bridges to Real Cooperation and Peace for Our Human Collective.

Please Re-Member to Keep Breathing....  

In Hope with Love. Out Hope With Love.  In Hope with Love. Out Hope With Love.

We are often told by our politicians, leaders and the media that there is a just cause for violence  and war.  They tell us that every nation, and human being has a right to defend themselves.  We share and spend billions in missiles, bombs, drones and guns. 

How many  innocents civilians--- elders, women, men and children, have been killed in disputes in their homes, at school, walking the streets, visiting malls or riding buses, trains and airplanes across the World?  Too Many.  Far Too Many!

And why then is it that when soldiers come back from battle, we offer inadequate resources for healing of mind, body and spirit.  How many of those wounded veterans are suffering or homeless?   Too Many.  Far Too Many!  

When we know the Truth, we have a responsibility to use the moral compass of our hearts to act as Catalysts for Good Change through Education, Cooperation and Sincere Efforts to Bring and Be the Peace!!! 

The Truth is, we ourselves must stop hating, and killing in our minds and hearts!  We must insist that our leaders and politicians become true servant leaders and advocates of Equity, Compassion, Peace and Prosperity For ALL People; honoring all Faiths and Cultures!

And Yes, real change, good change that is systemic and long-lasting does takes a very, very long time.  The road is long, steep and sometime arduous.  It will not be easy but with patience and unselfish Love, we can each use our unique gifts and become Catalysts for Good Change.

Again, Breathe Deeply. In Hope with Love. Out Hope With Love.  In Hope with Love. Out Hope With Love.

Today, let us humbly move forward with a desire and a commitment to create a World with Cooperative, Sustainable Love where unlimited generations of Our Children can prosper with respect for each other, preserve and share the Earth's abundance, and live in safety with Joy. 

Thank You For Your Concern, Collective Prayers and Courage to Help Build a Better World! 

Today Re-Member...Peace is Possible through Compassion, Cooperation, Courage, Creativity,  Faith, Forgiveness, Good Purpose, Integrity, Kindness, Mercy, Patience, Respect, Understanding and the Grace of Love!

And So It Is With Love!

Always, Melony

Honoring Malcolm X---Stand for Good!

Honoring Malcolm X---Stand for Good!

Malcolm X (El- Hajj Malik El Shabazz), a Great African-American Black/Civil/Human Rights Activist and World Citizen once said...

 "If You Don't Stand for Something, You Will Fall for Anything."

Today we can honor Malcolm X by remembering to Stand for Freedom, Economic Equity, Education, Healing and a Loving, Sustainable Peace On Earth.

Please, Stand for Good! 

Malcolm X was assassinated on February 21, 1965 while speaking at the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem, New York City.

His beautiful, brilliant, supportive wife, Dr. Betty Shabazz and their daughters were present!

Breathe Deeply 4 Times. 
In Love. Out Good Purpose.  
In Love. Out Good Purpose.  
In Love. Out Good Purpose.  
In Love. Out Good Purpose.
 
Please, Stand for Good! 

Always, Melony

Live Your Words!

Live Your Words!

Beautiful People, 

The obsession of money, and firearms is an illusion of the lost mind teetering in Fear. 

Money is no more than an exchange for goods and services.  

Money is also a resource to help educate, build beautiful, Loving communities and help those in need. 

Firearms are deadly in the conversation of True Peace and a World Beyond War.

Humility, Consideration, Cooperation and Compassion are the eternal weapons offered by Spirit to nurture, heal and prosper together with Dignity and Respect. 

When your Children ask you how to make the World Better...

Tell them we must Use Our Gifts to develop a true willingness to Nurture Our Earth-Heart and Share our technology and resources with Humility, Consideration, Cooperation and Compassion. 

Tell Children to Care For and Love One Another.  Do Harm to None. 

Breathe Deeply Six Times.  
In Love and Humility,  
Consideration, Cooperation and Compassion!  Out Love and More Love!

We will be more likely to Prosper Collectively when we decide that Compassion has meaning and is useful in Today's World!

Go Now.   And Live Your Words in Grace as Lovers and Peacemakers! 

Always, Melony

Be An Instrument of Grace.

Be An Instrument of Grace. 

Beautiful People, 

Today, Let Us Take a Moment to Breathe and Exhale Deeply Many Times.

In Courage, Integrity and Love.   Out Courage, Integrity and Love. 

Humanity has Unlimited Potential to Share with Compassion and Grow in Love. 

We must commit to see the best in others, and to believe that there is Good in Our World.

So often we spend so much time proving that others are wrong, We Forget about the Good That Is Possible. 

Our World has many challenges. People are starving. We need better education and housing with Equity for All.

What if we looked at all that is working and made a commitment to  do more Good? 

What if even in disagreement,  we were able to listen to eachother? 

Could we come to more understanding?

What If You and I Stopped Bickering  and We Decided to Have More Courage to Allow Our Thoughts and Actions to Reflect Only Integrity and Love? 

You Know What?  We Could Make Our Lives Better.  We Could Change the World! 

Breathe and Exhale Deeply. 
In Courage with Integrity and Love.  Out Courage with Integrity and Love.

Today,  Be An Instrument of Grace.  Live the Melody of Compassion, Kindness and Love!

Always, Melony

Behold Many Miracles!

Behold Many Miracles!

Beautiful People,

If you are brave enough to plant a garden within your heart...

Then you must make the commitment to nurture it 
throughout all the seasons of your life. 

In the garden of your lives, the sun will shine always through your smiles but there may be winters of doubt and loneliness. 

The many clouds and rainstorms will be your tears of disappointment, and dismay mixed with the joy of knowing Love. 

As your children or creative projects are born; the air will bring you oxygen, new purpose, and whispers of understanding. 

Spring buds and blossoming trees will be filled your humility, as you celebrate Being Born Again... 

There will be joyful summers of compassion as your willingness to forgive allows for deep healing. 

Time and time again you will harvest the fruit of Love and acquire a propensity of Faith that nurtures you and many others. 

And throughout Eternity with Divine Grace, you will continue to plant New Seeds of Hope. 

Please take a moment and Breathe and Exhale Deeply Many Times.

Now Re-Member... 
These Are the Miracles to Behold in a Life of Love!

Always, Melony

Beautiful People, 

Take a moment and still your mind.  Breathe and Exhale Deeply Four Times.

May our hearts stay open with ease and Grace as we decide that good, sustainable change is possible only through Love. 

May we do harm to none, use technology to assist and see All safe and happy in a World without envy, greed, hate or violence.

May we share our resources  with Love so that each child and every family has clean water, healthy food, education, and good opportunity to prosper and grow in flourishing communities on Earth/Heart.

Again, Breathe and Exhale Deeply Four Times. In Love. Out Love. In Love. Out Love. In Love. Out Love. In Love. Out Love.
