Share and Be Fair

Beloveds,

We teach our children to share and be fair but as adults many have chosen selfishness over equity and peace. We must learn to practice the good values we speak. In our actions to bring equity and peace and create a world where we co-exist in love; we too must honor and live our core values. We too must embrace opportunities to share and be fair!

Stepping Back

Beloveds,

There is no dis-honor in a peaceful retreat. Stepping back often give us a wider, but more precise view. We can rest, heal and rejuvenate as we quietly observe and gauge a situation from a clearer perspective. Time, patience and good intentions will always help you decide the best way to harness your positive energy and resources before you move forward. Listen to your inner voice of wisdom. Know when it is best to step back!

Hidden Chambers of the Forgotten Self

Beloveds,
Fear, envy and greed all live in the hidden chambers of our forgotten selves and are waiting to be freed and transformed into faith, hope and charity. Also within these chambers lay the memory of G- D as a living entity that sustains us through the breath and miracle of eternal love. We can learn to see ourselves through mirrors of courage, and compassion as we embrace and heal our tender hearts. Answer the call. Explore each chamber; and you will return to the outer world transformed, and armed with the riches of abundant love!

You Can Make A Difference!

Beloveds,

We so often put ourselves down and think that we do not make a
difference. We forget that our very existence is a gift of love. We become
discouraged and forget that we have many contributions to share. Today remember
that even your smile, your kind thoughts and loving actions are gifts that your
family, friends and strangers may cherish forever! Today You Can Make a
Difference Through Love!

Raise Your Voice!

Beloveds,

These are times of human mis-understanding and moral despair-- when innocents are tried and convicted and others are without homes or work to provide for their children.

We must become even more vigilant in correcting wrongs and continue to raise our voices of hope and love! Each human being deserves respect, and an opportunity to live with a joyful purpose!

Walking With the Dream!

Beloveds,

Many who have come before us have labored and dreamed of a world of understanding and peace. Many of us still walk with that dream. Peace begins in the heart of love and is extended through our daily actions of kindness to ourselves and others. Tolerance creates possibility for co-existence and understanding. Compassion gives hope and offers mercy. Faith is walking and living the dream moment to moment!

MAKEDA, A Riveting New Book by Randall Robinson

Please read celebrated TransAfrica founder and civil rights icon, Randall Robinson's new book MAKEDA!!!!!!

MAKEDA is riveting; a blessing and affirmation of my heart and a calling for us to remember the truth of our greatness! Circumstances do not define who we are in our hearts! Mr. Randall Robinson's eloquent truth in such a magnificent package! I read all night and this book is simply captivating! I honor you for your vision Mr. Robinson! MAKEDA is truly is a soul awakening Masterpiece! With loving respect!" Melony

"About Makeda... from the book jacket!On the eve of the Civil Rights movement, while struggling to survive the emotional vacuum of his family, young Gray March escapes into the safe and magical world of his grandmother Makeda’s tiny parlor. There his life is transformed by his visits to the aging matriarch, a woman blind since birth but who has always dreamed in color. She begins to confide in Gray the things she “sees” and remembers ...from her dream state, and a story starts to emerge, a story that becomes increasingly more detailed, layered with descriptions and historical accuracy beyond the scope of Makeda’s elementary school education. Gradually, Gray begins to make a connection . . . . . . a connection between his grandmother’s dreams and the epic life of an African queen described in the Bible . . . Part coming-of-age story, part spiritual journey, and part love story, Makeda is a universal tale of family, heritage, and the ties that bind. It is about the people who help to shape and mold us, and lead us into the light. Appealing to the deepest sense of who we are, Robinson plumbs the hearts of grandmother Makeda and her grandson Gray, and summons our collective blood memories, taking the reader on an unforgettable journey of the soul that will linger long after the last page has been turned!"

Who Are YOU?

Beloveds,

Who are you? Are you living with purpose and sharing your gifts and wisdom so that your children and others may grow and thrive in love? How does compassion and integrity move in your life? The truth of who we are is often revealed not only through our words, but through our deeds and actions. Who are You in the Mirror of Love?

Anger

Beloveds,
There are those who believe that anger is a healthy emotion. True we are human and we may feel many emotions. When we do feel anger, we should use that energy to search for understanding and to work to resolve the problem in a good way without causing harm to others! When we feel anger we should ask for understanding, wisdom, mercy and compassion in order to do more good and bring good change!

Do More Good

Beloveds,
If we want to solve problems and see good results, we've got to do more, graciously with humility and love. We've got to believe that good things will happen. Sometimes we have to do more and more so that others too are inspired to believe and do more good. And when we think we've done all the good we can, there are days that we simply have to embrace our good hopes/dreams and do one more good thing with love! Therein lies the power of Divine Grace!

Decisions, Decisions

Beloveds,
We are given situations that call for us to choose. The outcome of our decisions may enslave us or free us. When making a decision it is always important to use compassion and wisdom, not anger or envy. Every good decision comes with the compliance and integrity of your good heart!

Create A Joy List

Beloveds,

Often we are working so hard that we delay our joy and begin to feel unhappy about our lives. Would a beautiful, delicious meal you prepare yourself, a good book or movie, a round of golf, a walk in the park and/or through your neighborhood allow you a joyful discovery? What gives you Joy? Create a Joy List! Begin your discovery. Do at least one thing today and every day that gives you Joy.

Purpose

Beloveds,
When we live without goals, we are not able to develop our purpose. Why are you here at this time on Earth? What do you care about? What contributions would you like to make? Define what is important. Set some goals to move forward in a way that allows you to care and joyfully meet the day. Begin to Live Your Purpose!

Love Is...

Beloveds,

For me, Love is not about money or power or things. Love is about smiles, kind words and hugs filled with appreciation. Love is spoken and unspoken but lived through sharing acts of hope and support. Love is comfort through the storms of life, and clearing the debris of disappointment and despair as I move forward with faith and a peaceful heart! What is Love to you?

Do Your BEST!

Beloveds,

Offer your best. Do your best with joy.
You will sleep well and awaken with a smile.

Never allow another's disregard
to stand in the way
of you being the best possible you.

One can not buy integrity!
Never mind the naysayers.

Your good acts will always bring hope
and stand as a testament to Love!

The Next Step

Beloveds,

Perhaps there will come a time in your life when you are given a situation where you must step out of comfort zone to achieve that which you most desire. Have courage. Breathe deeply. Gather your energy and strength. Believe that you can. No obstacle is too big. Believe that there is unseen support. Take the next step into your good destiny! Love Awaits!

Culture of War

Beloveds,

This culture of war masked in hopes of freedom 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 the brain years later as innocent children needing nurturing offer us love and attention which in our woundedness we ignore!

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?

People

Beloveds,

People are different and All are special! People come in different sizes, shapes! They have different colored eyes and hair and skin! People live in different countries where there are different cultures and traditions on mostly five continents even though there are seven continents on Earth. People speak many, many different languages too! They may play different instruments and sing different songs. People are different but there is one song everybody can learn to sing and harmonize together. We call it the Song of Love!

Honor the SOng of Life

Beloveds,
When we think of life as a song, we are able to the live the melody. Life as a song also requires that we come together and sing our many different parts. Whether you are an alto, a soprano, a tenor, a baritone or bass, we can all learn to sing and live in harmony when we embrace and honor the exquisite melody of the Song of Life!
