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 rainbows and the joy of knowing Love.

As new ideas, creative projects and your children are born, the air will bring you oxygen, new purpose, a desire to grow and whispers of understanding.

Spring buds and blossoming trees will be filled with 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 with Integrity.

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

Breathe and Exhale Deeply 10 Times.

Today, Behold and Live the Many Miracles in Your Life 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!

In the Wake of Hurricane Harvey, We Offer Prayers

In the Wake of Hurricane Harvey, We  Offer Prayers of Compassion, Hope and Healing! 

Beloved Radiant Ones,

Please take a moment and Breathe Deeply Ten Times. 

Breathe In Compassion, Cooperation, Courage, Hope and Love.

Breathe Out Compassion, Cooperation, Courage Hope, and Love....

Let Us Offer Prayers for Compassion, Healing, Mercy and Peace On Earth. 

In Texas and Louisiana Hurricane Harvey has destroyed the property of many and taken lives.  People are in crisis.

There are so many natural and man-made disasters and humanitarian challenges on Earth. 

Droughts, Floods, Fires, Hurricanes and Typhoons brought forth by Nature because of our inability to nurture and care for Our Earth-Heart present many serious challenges. 

Mothers, Fathers and their Children are attempting to flee the Countries  of their Ancestors which lack safety and are over-run with violence. They  flee in search of Hope in lands with unwelcoming immigration policies. 

Missiles and guns continue to destroy the Innocent as Families Worldwide Mourn the Human Loss and "Collateral Damage" created by  Unnecessary Wars. 

Evil Is Corrupting Many Hearts.  At the Root of Our Earth Crisis are Ego, Greed, Hate, Selfishness and a Desire for Control and Power.

Today As Our Hearts Cry With Sorrow,  and We Mourn Our Many Losses...

Let Us Commit to have a Cooperative Spirit, to Re-Build with a Nuturing Spirit and to Honor  All People and Our Earth-Heart!

Let Us Offer Loving Prayers for Courage, Compassion, Forgiveness, Hope, Healing and Mercy.

Let Us Pray with a True Commitment to Work Together to Bring Equality, Integrity,  Prosperity and Peace On Earth with Love for Our Earth-Heart and All Sentient Beings!

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!

You Are a Hierophant, a Bringer of Light and Love!

You Are a Hierophant, a Bringer of Light and Love! 

Beautiful People, 

Breathe Deeply Five Times.   
Inhale Humility and Joy.  
Exhale the Grace of Love.   

You Are a Hierophant, a Bringer of Light and Love! 

As Hierophants we are all students and teachers.... 

Living, learning, sharing, and Loving. 

This is our path, a return to LOVE. 

Again, Breathe Deeply Five Times.
Inhale Humility and Joy.  
Exhale the Grace of Love.  

People would have us believe that 
we should not focus on the heart.

The Truth Is we can NOT develop 
and travel into the new realms 
purely in our minds. 

The heart always has the right answers.  
And Truth is all there is. 
For In Truth we experience Divine LOVE.

Breathe.   

Right now let us feel Joy's embrace 
as particles of LOVE run through 
the very cells of our body! 

You Are a Hierophant, a Bringer of Light and Love!  

Breathe!  
Inhale Humility and Joy.  
Exhale the Grace of Love!

You Are a Hierophant, a Bringer of Light and Love!

When Will Freedom Come: Remembering the 1963 March On Washington

When Will Freedom Come: Remembering the 1963 March On Washington and Civil Rights Foot Soldiers As Dreamers!

Beautiful People,

There is perhaps no greater gift to society than the Dreamer.  For it is the Dreamer who believes that Good Change Is Possible. 

It is the Dreamer that looks upon a society's inequities and desires a better life for themselves, their families, their neighbors and their Nation.

It is the Dreamer, who having awakened to the Truth that ALL people are created Equal asks How Will Freedom Come?

On August 28th in 1963, A. Phillip Randolph,
Bayard Rustin, Mahalia Jackson, John Lewis, Peter, Paul and Mary, Bob Dylan,  Julian Bond, Odetta, Jackie Robinson, James Baldwin, Marlon Brando, Joan Baez, Paul Newman, Harry Belafonte, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Andrew Young,  Marian Anderson, Sammy Davis Jr., Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Malcolm X, Dick Gregory, Diahann Carroll, Burt Lancaster, Dr. Benjamin Mays, Roy Wilkins, Dorothy Height, Whitney Young, and ..

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. were all in attendance with 250 thousand Dreamers from across America who gathered in Our Nation's Capitol to rally for jobs, the right to vote, desegregation and equality.

Some of these Dreamers had been working in their communities, cities and states for many generations to bring about Good Change.

They knew that just attending the March on Washington was an act of rebellion but more importantly, it was an Act of Faith that could bring Change and Hope for their Children.

They were people of all nationalities, religious beliefs and colors. They were clergy,  union members, mechanics, postal workers, railroad workers, pullman porters, butlers, maids, police officers, doctors nurses, educators, college students and people from every occupation imaginable.

There were  grandparents and mothers and fathers who brought their children.All believed that this country could only live its greatness when Equality and Equal Opportunity became the Law of the Land.

It was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who spoke and articulated the Dream that had been swelling in the hearts of many for generations and generations.

We know these 250,000 Dreamers as the Civil Rights Foot Soldiers. Though we may not know their names, today Fifty Years later, we honor the Civil Rights Foot Soldiers their lives, their hopes and their Dreams.

And Fifty Years later, the message of equality, equity, education, fair employment, Hope and Love continues to deserve our attention; for the work of the Dreamers and Civil Rights Foot Soldiers is Far From Complete.

Freedom Will Come only when we are willing to put down our guns, open our hearts and listen deeply to Truth.

Freedom Will Come only when we Rise Up Together and decide to fix the broken Political, Economic, Educational and Social Systems of Inequity.

But Freedom Will Come!

As we remember The Civil Foot Rights Foot Soldiers, in Our Hearts, we must continue to walk across the Nation with Hope and Strong Resolve.

Then we will hear and sing the songs that mourn the loss of Every Child of Violence and War and Racism and Poverty.  We will call for Peace and sing of Love.

Freedom Will Come when we truly Desire Equity, Education and Prosperity For ALL.

Freedom Will Come when we willingly sit at the table together in Gratitude and share our dreams, our food, our homes, our education and our wealth.

Freedom Will Come only when we once again notice that Trees bend in reverence as Spring, Summer and Autumn Leaves dance joyfully and teach Our Children that All Humans deserve to be cared for and Loved!

Freedom Will Come as we Re-Member that for All Our Children we must offer Hope for their Dreams and be willing to share Our Love.

Breathe Deeply In Hope. Out Love.
Again Breathe. In Hope.  Out Love.

How will you honor the Dreamer Civil Rights Foot Soldiers?  Do you remember the Dream?

What will you do today and tomorrow?

How will Freedom come with Love and decide to Live in Our Hearts and Our Nation?

First Breathe.  In Hope.  Out Love!

We Must Once Again Commit to Gather In Our Communities, Cities and States Across Our Nation.

Remembering that ALL Are Created Equally,
let us sit at the table together in Gratitude and share our Dreams, our food, our homes, our education and our wealth.

It is then for the Dreamer, that Freedom Will Come!

Always, Melony

You Are the Sum Total of Your Every Experience!

You Are the Sum Total of Your Every Experience!

Beautiful People, 

 Our words and actions can never be undone and surely we will all make mistakes on our life journey.  Thus we must learn to forgive ourselves, ask for forgiveness  and offer forgiveness to others.  

We can allow those mistakes to lead the way to new and better choices.  In this way, Good Change becomes inevitable.  

We will Love and sometimes that Love will be rejected or misunderstood. Trust Love Anyway!

When we journey with compasssion, courage, hope, humility, integrity and mindfulness;  there is a greater possibility that we will speak and live in Truth.  

When we offer our Love Unconditionally with Trust, we discover that every breath aligned with our Heart and our Spirit allows us to become more at Peace with Ourselves.  

Most Importantly, Who We Become in Love is the Greatness Exemplified by the Sum Total of All Our Experiences.

Breathe Deeply 10 Times.  
In Love.  Out Love.  In Love. Out Love. In Love.  Out Love.... 

Remembering that You and Your Greatness lies in the Sum Total of Your Every Experience... 

Who Have You Become In Love?

Journey of Faith!

Journey of Faith!

Beautiful People,

Beyond knowledge is the Hope that My Faith is strong enough to face the feared and  unknown.

"How will I walk?",  I ask myself. 

I  clear my mind, sit in the quiet and Breathe Deeply Ten Times.  

I Breathe In Love.  I Exhale Fear.

The Answer Comes from the Whispers of My  Heart. 

"First  you must have the Strength and Courage to Trust.  Then  as Truth is revealed, you must face your fears and  offer Kindness even to the one you perceive as your enemy. 

When you are able to transform your hate into Love with forgiveness, then you will grow in understanding. 

Every  change or answer you seek can be found in your ability to Walk the Path of the Unknowing with Compassion, Deep Listening, Hope, Integrity and Patience. 

Honor the Miracle of YOU.  Acknowledge and Honor the Many Miracles Around You.

Give Thanks Throughout the Day!

It is always through the Journey of Faith that we grow and we come to know the Infinite Power of Love ."

Today, Listen Deeply to the Whispers In Your  Heart.  

Breathe In Love.  Exhale Love.

With Confidence,  Walk the Journey of Faith!

Always, Melony

We Are The Majority: A Meditation of Hope!

We Are The Majority: A Meditation of Hope!

Beautiful People,

History has taught us that diplomacy and conversation are the only ways to move forward with integrity and good intent. We know that violence will never provide long term solutions to the many challenges facing our Human Collective.

Have we forgotten our good efforts of diplomacy?  Why have we stopped talking and listening to eachother?

Fear, hatred, greed and injustice appear to have become aligned.  In many instances, our sense of right or wrong is driven by mis-understanding, as well as a desire to control and promulgate dis-respect of eachother.

Because of wrong actions by a few, we have forgotten Peace in Our Hearts. The truth is, some of us have even forgotten what it is to Love.

I ponder children without hope killing children on city streets or bombs, cars, drones, robots, rockets, and ak-47's or AR-15's destroying babies, mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends and neighbors across our precious Earth/Heart.

I allow myself to cry in anger and despair.

I Breathe and Exhale Deeply Ten Times and honor the Master Creator and all sentient beings with Love.

Then I gather my good energy. Tears act as an opening for my heart to join the many other beautiful hearts desiring to build bridges of cooperation across the Earth.

I breathe deeply in Gratitude for the Hope and Faith that lives in my broken heart.

Let Us Pray for Compassionate Listening, Loving Actions, Healing and Peaceful Resolutions.

Please Answer Love's Call. 

We Are the Majority.  Open your hearts with patience, cooperation and a desire for understanding.

Join me and offer your strong voices for Justice, and prayers of compassion, forgiveness, Love and mercy for all of Humanity.

May we align our minds and our hearts with a willingness to act with peace, live in peace and become the Peace.

We Are the Majority.  May we vision and build a World of Compassion and Integrity where All children are nurtured and safe from violent actions.

May We Build Bridges of Cooperation so that All Children and All People can Love, live, dream, embrace and share their genius, achieve, and prosper on a sustainable Earth/Heart with a vivid Loving Peace for hundreds of generations to come!

And So It Is With Love!

Always, Melony

An Affirmation of Good Intention!

An Affirmation of Good Intention!

Beautiful People,

Take a moment to clear your mind and still your heart.

Now Breathe Deeply and Exhale Slowly Ten Times.

In Courage, Hope and Good Intention.
Out Courage, Hope and Good Intention....

Let Us Thank Blessed Divine Spirit for each and every Blessing, Lesson and Miracle that has manifested in our lives, and the lives of all others throughout Every Uni-Verse.

It is time to End ALL Violence. Time for forgiveness, and a massive healing so that we begin to accept that separation of any kind moves us away from Our Collective Self.

WE ARE ONE in mind, body & spirit.

We each have a responsibility to open our hearts, and to learn to Share and Love Unselfishly.

If asked "how does one fight Hate?" then we must consider this response---

"We Don’t "Fight";  Instead We Teach by Example because the idea is to Grow, Nurture and Help ALL Transform In Love."

In this way, We Honor Our Creator and merge with Divine Consciousness.

This is our Spiritual Journey. This is the reason why We Are Here On Mother Earth=Heart.

For some of us, then the question becomes,
“How do I maintain my identity?”.

The only true Eternal Identity that we have
is to be ONE In Spirit.

That is not to say that we should ignore
our individual Birth Cultures.

On the Contrary….

An important part of our journey to Divine Spirit
is to have an Appreciation, Respect and Understanding of the Many Paths that We, and Our Hopeful Ancestors have taken.

For Many, this Journey to Love has been long, arduous and filled with mis-understanding.

There are those who have committed  heinous crimes against others. They have used their power to control, manipulate and subjugate others.  These Unholy Actions Must End!

Reconciliation, Hope and Healing Occurs Only When We Acknowledge Truth.

Through Our Hopeful Awakening, we can continue to learn and to see more clearly; to call for equality, equanimity and Good Opportunity for All.

We must continue  work to live with understanding, compassion, and a strong positive sense of self, which is OUR her and his story.

Please Speak this Affirmation of Good Intention...

"Today I Pray for Strength, Courage, and Hope.
I Release my Fear.  I Speak the Truth with Integrity.  I Honor My Hopeful Ancestors.
I Nurture Elders, My Children, My Family and Community.  I Believe in Economic, Educational and Spiritual Empowerment. I Walk As a Leader, a Diplomat and a Visionary.

I Look at My Brothers and Sisters, Some Lost. 
I Open My Heart, and Hands to Show the Way.

Together We Stand in the Reflection Pool of Our Hopeful Ancestors, and Join Them in Hope and Celebration of the Ongoing Journey to Awakening, Re-membering, and Being Love …."

And So It Is With Love,

Melony

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

Love Lifts Me!

"Love. Lifts. Me."

Beautiful People,

With humility, I take a moment to still myself.

I Breathe and Exhale Deeply Six Times.

In every place in my heart where I have felt disappointment, been wounded or wounded another, I offer and ask for forgiveness. 

Forgiveness allows me the gift of healing.

Healing grants renewal and helps me to begin again, in the Newness of Love.

I feel the Love of every Uni-Verse embrace me, and offer the Grace of Renewal.

I continue to Breathe.  Slowly I Exhale with each breath, and let go of every thought that is not Love.

I Breathe and Offer Gratitude for Life.

I open my heart and feel the lessons of the butterfly, the dove, the dolphin, the phoenix, the flower, the tree, the oceans, the moon, the planets, the stars, ancient beings; and all sentient life woven in the fabric of my DNA of every lifetime.

It is like I am walking on water across many Galaxies into the clouds of Heaven. 

I am reminded that Wisdom of Love offers many lessons of Patience and Fluidity.

Love will always smooth the boulders of the inequity caused by ego, greed, hate and fear.

Unselfish Actions of Love can resolve conflict and un-necessary wars fought by our Collective.

Love's Beginnings are Beyond Time and serve as an Infinite Ocean of Grace that teaches Compassion, Hope, Integrity and Good Purpose.

Love Is Meant to Flow and Has No Ending. The Peace and Prosperity that I Desire for Myself, I Desire For All Others.

I Breathe and Exhale Deeply.

Only through Love are we offered  the Gift of Re-Birth and Renewal.

Every Good Dream Is Possible to Manifest through Consistent Effort, Deep Listening, Integrity, Patience and the Grace of Love.

I Humbly Say Thank You to the Infinite Creator of ALL.

Once Again, I Breathe Deeply and Exhale Slowly.

As Oprah Says... "Love. Lifts. Me."

My Heart is filled with Profound Gratitude!

Love Gives Me Hope!  Love Inspires Me!
Love Heals Me!  Love Leads Me!

What Does Love Do For YOU?

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!

Though Duality Exists, Our Good Potential Will Prosper! #Charlottesville #HateWillNeverWin

Though Duality Exists, Our Good Potential Will Prosper!  #Charlottesville #HateWillNeverWin

Beautiful People,

In deep reflection, I must face no one but Myself, and You must face no one but Yourself.

All violent thoughts and actions, envy, hate, greed or guns and wars said to bring Peace are based in evil.

Duality Exists.  Evil exists but over time, though it may be Eons; ultimately Our Good Potential Will Prosper.

No matter what goes on in the World, We have a responsibility to live with humility in the Truth inspired by Love.

Only then through the Creator's Blessing of Love are we able to see and feel the Earth, the Sky, the Oceans, the Dolphins and Trees, and Birds, and Flowers and All Sentients as purposeful and interconnected in Love.

Breathe and Exhale Deeply Four Times in many intervals.

Let us feel Hope in a World where much of Humanity is fearfully Awakening and struggling to restore itself through Love.

Breathe in Gratitude for the Awakening of Truth Discovered when we face ourselves by looking in the Mirror of all those around us. 

Now As We Are Seeing the Need for Compassion, Forgiveness, Kindness, Mutual Cooperation, Mercy and Love,  let us look into the Heart of Eternity. 

We Are One In Love!

In the Circle of Our Eternal Existence, beyond current evil acts of envy, hate, greed and mis-understanding, Love Exists Into Eternity.

Yes, duality exists but ultimately Our Good Potential continues to prosper through our every Loving Action.

Your Ever Vigilant Heart! #Charlottesville

Your Ever Vigilant Heart!
#Charlottesville #HateWillNeverWin!

Beautiful People,

I Breathe Deeply and Exhale Slowly Ten Times.

Today I cannot find that space of empty in my mind. Instead, I embrace every thought.

I Breathe....For All those who have lost their lives due to violence on city streets or country roads and unnecessary wars or illness and suffering...

I Offer Prayer of Love and Healing for their Families and Communities.

I Breathe... In my heart are Awakening cries of anger, despair and disappointment mixed with Compassion, Hope, Mercy and Love. These are the emotions vibrating throughout the World.

Humanity is Awakening but our addiction to fear, greed and hate has taken center stage.

We must remember that Hate Breeds Hate. Hate is never a Cure.

No matter how difficult or how long it may take---Only Forgiveness, Love, Respect and Understanding with Compassion and Mercy Offer Us Any Opportunity to Live Together In Peace with Equity.

Across the United States and the World, We Are Moving In Violent Directions and Causing Despair to Many.

The Schisms of Class, Fear, Greed, Power, Race, and Religion are at the Forefront of the Regional and Global Conversations.

I Remember that hate, violence and war only break hearts and create More Cycles of Hate, Violence and War.

Again, I Breathe Deeply Ten Times.

In Patience, Forgiveness and Love.
Out Patience, Forgiveness and Love.

In Patience, Forgiveness and Love.
Out Patience, Forgiveness and Love....

It will take Many Strong Voices and Vigilant Hearts to Choose to Empower Our World through Good Actions of Kindness and Love.

No Matter Our Race, Ethnicity, Religion, Social or Economic Status...

Our Collective Responsibility Is to Keep Raising Our Voices In Truth and Love!

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!

Hate Will Never Win!

Thank YOU for Your Ever Vigilant Heart of Love! 
Always,

Melony's Wisdom Mondays: Honor the Axiom Tide. Walk In Truth Anyway!

Knowing, speaking and being the Truth is how we live Our Purpose.

Everyone has a genuis seed that when developed, becomes the contribution and a personal fingerprint to make on Our Earth-Heart . 

Some call it Purpose.

It is something that Only YOU can do, or say or write in the Fabric of Time.

Breath Deeply Ten  Times.

Your Good Destiny lies beyond the hateful, jealous or petty.  Your Good Destiny Resides In the Heart of Love.

Offering Prayers for #Charlottesville and Our Broken World!

Please Join Me in Offering Prayers for #Charlottesville and Our Broken World! #HateIsNeverAGoodOption!

When the Great Mother Cried! 

Beloveds---

When Ego did not trust the Creator's Love, he found himself lost in perpetual storms of wrong words, actions and  disappointment.

It seemed like for eons,  Ego forbade the Heart from experiencing joy and joined with Misery to create dis-order and hate throughout the World. 

Some humans enslaved others who looked differently.  They stole the precious resources and treasured legacies and fought religious wars to maintain control. 

Some So Called Leaders Like #45 Supported  Hateful Actions Like Those In #Charlottesville.

For a time it appeared that this was to become the sad destiny of Earth.  

And the Great Mother Cried.  Her tears moved hearts of a few who then felt the undercurrent of the Creator's Love.

And the few Awakened from the horrible nightmare created by Ego and Misery.  They began to Breathe Deeply and see Beauty in the Stars, in the Moon and Sun.

They began to marvel at the birds song, the lives of animals and fish, and the rhythm of the winds and oceans.  They learned the history of Earth-Heart  through the rocks and stones. 

They discovered the oxygen of Love and studied the wisdom of trees. Plant life offered food and healing. 

With Each Breathe they took in Love,  they grew braver, and many more re-membered the Great Mother and Awakened in Love. 

YOU are one of the many born to honor the Creator and Rise in understanding and compassion through the Great Mother.

Breathe Deeply 10 Times.  Breathe In Truth.  Know there is only Love. Exhale the Nightmare of Hate Created by Ego and Misery. 

Now that You Have Awakened,  Allow Divine Grace to Lead Your Heart. Listen to song of your Soul.  It is the Creator's Song of Love.   

There Is No Turning Back. The Only Way to Heal and Live and Prosper on Earth-Heart Is to Stay Awake, Stand Up for Justice and Trust Only Love!

Always, Melony

We Will Sow Your Seeds of Love!

We Will Sow Your Seeds of Light and Love! Celebrating Bruce Hawkins,  a Recently Ascended Angel Whom Many of Us Will Always Re-Member  As a Dancer, Activist,  Lover of Humanity  and Friend.  And from the Heaven Realm, Angel Bruce Hawkins Continues to Be a Great Teacher and Is Still Sharing His Love....

We Will Sow Your Seeds of Light and Love! 

Beloved Radiant ONES,

Just as trees, flowers and all living things; we are all born from the Seeds of Light and Love.  

Even when our bodies are frail, our Hearts grow strong when nurtured with Love.

Some of us stay here for many years, share wisdom with many others, and learn great lessons. 

Others stay only a short time but their Love guides and gives us courage, strength and new purpose.  

Through them we learn what it is to be happy even when we are very sad!  

We learn to support and nurture eachother and share our special moments. 

Hopefully we learn quickly to say what is in our hearts and to Live With No Regret--- because sometimes we are asked to offer our tender goodbyes when we just became comfortable and said a loving hello! 

And Yes, it is true...
Every beautiful flower will wilt and return to the Earth. 

And strong trees may fall in a storm and die.

But the Roots of Love are Eternal and can remain and blossom in our minds and our hearts throughout All Time in the Circle of Life and Love!

Please Take a Moment,  Breathe Deeply and Exhale Slowly Ten Times.

For All Those Whom We Love That Have Left This Earth, We Call Your Names, and Allow the Memory of Grace In Your Spirits to Help Us Live with Hope.

We Lovingly Call Your Names and  Re-Member Your Laughter, Your Joy, Your Wisdom, Your Precious Life Journeys, and Your Love. 

We Will Always Sow Your Seeds of Light and Love!  

Always, Melony 

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

The Last Stand of Tyrants!

The Last Stand of Tyrants!

Beautiful People,

For all that we are, have, hope to be or hope to achieve, let us Give Thanks to Our Blessed Creator of Every Uni-Verse.  For it Is through Our Blessed Creator that we are given Good Potential and Love for All!

Breathe Deeply Ten Times. 
In Love.  Out Good Potential with actions of Unselfish Love.   In Love.  Out Good Potential with actions of Unselfish Love.   In Love.  Out Good Potential with actions of Unselfish Love.

May we live this day, and every day learning the lessons of Love, growing in Awareness; and Walk as Beings with Compassionate Appreciation, Integrity and Understanding of Peace.  

May We Honor Our Good Elders and All Who Have Ascended with Unconditional Love. Many have shown us the way, and held the space for our Awakening. They are our important Teachers.

Let us also thank each remarkable being that shares their genius, strength, courage, and joy or teaches us lessons that help us grow in Love. There are many heroines and heroes  among us!

Even as these times on Earth reveal a schism of greed, hate and selfishness,  there is a Mass Awakening of sentient beings expressing their True Loving Selves. 

Yes! YOU Are Awakening! Please Don't Go Back to Sleep! Miracles lay strewn in every path we walk; bringing us new gifts as we learn the lessons of Love! 

Unfortunately this is also a time of intense agony for those suffering in the mire of fear, hate, or greed for those dis-connected from Divine Spirit.

Please Pay Attention.  DO NOT ALLOW the INSANITY of a FEW MEN to KILL OUR GOOD DREAMS!

Tyrants in the United States, and around the World will  continue to try to assert their ungodly will and dangerous egos as they attempt to manipulate the masses into unnecessary war as they take their Last Stands. Hold Eqanimity and Peace in Your Hearts! RESIST All Forms of Violence.

Feel the Ecstasy of Earth Angels Awakening and  Soaring with the Spirit of Compassion and Love.

Though many are  experiencing the most dire of circumstances, our Children will continue to act as Beacons of Light.  Nurture and pay attention to the children. They bring us  hope and Loving wonder. Through the innocence of our children, we are often inspired with New Faith with Good Purpose.

Every day, small seeds of wisdom are given to us through our  willingness to accept Divine Grace. We have new opportunity every day to Grow in Awareness, Integrity  Respect, and Love for eachother.

Again, Breathe Deeply.  In Love.  Out Good Potential with actions of Unselfish Love...

Today please re-member that  Love is a verb---an action word.  It can also be an adjective or a noun.

As each one of us becomes Love, we also become a heroine or hero.  Together as we blossom, we will flourish and multiply in Goodness.

And Through YOUR Goodness, Heaven On Earth Will Be Revealed!

This is the Lesson and Word of LOVE!

Always, Melony

Just  Listen.  I Love You.  Hear Me through the birds chirping, the wind whistling  through trees and the ocean's roar. 

Breathe deeply and Smell Me in the honey suckle and cherry blossoms. Taste Me in the avocado, the apple, the blueberry, the carrot, the ginger and turnips. 

Look at  Me in the Sky.  Remember  it is I who share the magnificent moon,  the glistening stars and the ebullient sun with you. 

The Land is not yours to fight over.  It is Mine! All Is Mine.   I Share It with You in Love. 

Just  Listen.  Violence Is NOT the Answer!  Stop Fighting.  I Love You. Feel Me in your hearts through your acts  of Compassion and Cooperation. 
I Knew You As Stardust.  Now Find Your Way Back to Love.  Just Listen. Stop Fighting.  I Forgive You.  I Love You! "    

Again,  Breathe Slowly in and out Ten Times. 

Today and Everyday, Listen to the Voice of the Creator of Every Uni-Verse . ..

Joy and Sorrow. . .

Joy and Sorrow. ..

Beautiful People,

When we lose our jobs, or our homes; when we learn that we are ill and can not be cured; or when we say our final goodbyes to Loved Ones-- we discover what it feels like to be broken. 

Sorrow is forever knocking at our door.

How do we pick up the pieces of our broken lives?   We  must try always to offer Compassion and Mercy to Ourselves and Those Around Us.

And We Learn to Open the Door to Love. 

With Love will come dear, old friends Compassion and Mercy.  They are like Sunshine to the Clouds of Sorrow.

And then, there are the Tender moments and times of Forgiveness and Healing that bring the Rainbows of JOY.  Rarely in life does one travel without the other.

Today Breathe and Exhale Deeply at least 10 Times. 

Please Re-Member that even when Sorrow comes...

JOY is ever-present to see us through the difficult times; and hold us tenderly with Love!   

Always, Melony

Being Thankful!

Being Thankful...

What do we have to be Thankful for?
When we are Alive,
we learn to be Thankful
for every experience
that offers us a moment
to awaken within our hearts.

I Breathe Deeply and Exhale Slowly Ten Times.

I Say Thank You...
Thank You for each moment
of Loving Grace.

Thank You for each
learning opportunity which
calls for me to expand
and develop in deeper understanding.

Thank You for each mistake
which has given me new wisdom.

Thank You for showing me true
compassion in the hearts of others,
as I learn to meet them heart to heart.

Thank You for my tears
which show me the unlimited
depth of my heart, much like
the vastness of your Multi-Verse.

Thank You for the disappointment
and hard lessons that allow me to learn to release judgment and discover new gifts because I am able to let go of my expectations.

Thank You for allowing me
deep listening, as well as
an incomprehensible space
that leaves me with joy to share.

Thank You for the breath of
your Loving Grace, and your
constant Divine Whisperings
that resides within me
and All Others.

Thank You for every argument
and World Tantrum that calls
for All of Humanity
to let go of our
selfishness and greed.

Today I let go of my attachment
to what I think I know.

As I awaken within the Heart of Love,
I Embrace the Unknown with
Hope, Infinite Faith and
Appreciation for Each Miracle of Life!

Breathe Deeply Six Times and Listen to the Voice Within that Says...
"I Believe In You!".

"I Believe In You!".   It is the Lullaby of Hope that Grandparents and Mothers and Fathers and Aunts and Uncles, and Friends, Mentors and Teachers sing to Children. 

I Believe In You!".   It is GRACE singing the Love Song of the Uni-Verse and the Magnificent Multi-Verse. 

Now Breathe and Exhale Deeply Four Times.

Will you sing too?  I Believe In YOU!

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 genius and 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.They also told me that alone we are not the change but instead we are the Catalysts 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 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, New York and across the United States, in South America, throughout Europe, Israel, Gaza, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Tibet and throughout many parts of Africa, Asia and Australia--virtually Everywhere on Earth-Heart...

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, because of disdain, envy and hate; 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, Patience, 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, 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 as well as our individual and collective genius to 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!

Deeper Understanding

Deeper Understanding!

Beautiful People,

In the Time of material greed, corruption, and religious wars, there was a Woman who had traveled far and faced many demons.

Along the way she had made some good decisions; and some bad decisions that Offered Good Lessons.

She had helped many people but when she thought she needed help, No One Was There.

She felt disappointed and terribly alone.

She Prayed for Deeper Understanding.

One day the Wise Ones came to her in a dream. They held her hand and wiped her tears.

They sat quietly with her and watched the Stars as they glistened in the darkness.

The Wise Ones said to the Woman "Trust in the Light - Trust in the Spirit - Know that you will always be a part of who I AM and a part of ME."

The Woman awakened from her dream with a New, Deeper Understanding.  Somehow she felt safe, nurtured and Loved.

She felt that the Wise Ones was the G-D Living and traveling within Her.

So often the Strong Ones feel that they journey alone, trying to offer others compassion and understanding.

It is important to remember that We Are Never Alone.

Breathe Deeply and Exhale Slowly Ten Times.

In  Love with Hope and Gratitude.  Out Love with Hope and Gratitude.

In Love with Hope and Gratitude.   Out Love with Hope and Gratitude.

In Love with Hope and Gratitude.  Out Love with Hope and Gratitude.

In Love with Hope and Gratitude.   Out Love with Hope and Gratitude. . . .

Remember these words in your heart....

"Trust in the Light - Trust in the Spirit - Know that You will always be a part of who I AM and a part of ME."

Try to Walk with Courage, Compassion, Faith, Hope, Integrity, Mercy and a Deeper Understanding with Love.

Always Remember, G-D Is Living and Traveling Within YOU!

Always, Melony

I Give Thanks for Good Possibility! 

Beautiful People,

I ponder the rock of my heart that has broken a million times over, and yet still grows stronger.  Every broken piece floats through the Multi-Verse as Love's lesson and jewels of Undying Faith. 

I Breathe and Exhale Deeply Ten Times.

I Give Thanks for Good Possibility!

I Give Thanks for each breath and for this journey of Life. 

I Give Thanks to the Elders and Ancestors who nurtured us, and Ascended into the Divine Heart of Love, often too soon for us with broken hearts. 

I Give Thanks for the Undying Faith and Courage of those who whose lives were cut short because of illness or violence and war.  I honor their lives and pray that through Love, they have been able to find their place in Heaven Realm.

I Give Thanks for our Continuing Collective Intention to Love, even when our hearts break in the midst of Chaos on Our Earth/Heart.

I Give Thanks for the Gifts of Hope, Integrity, Mercy and Forgiveness offered through Divine Spirit that allows us to believe that the only Good Answer to Earth's Crisis is to Learn to Love One Another.

I Give Thanks for Good Possibility.  

No matter how difficult, through Love we are given the Faith to extend a hand, to open our hearts, to heal, and Begin Again.

In my acceptance, even my tears become the honey of Hope, offered humbly with Good Intention and Actions of Love.

I Breathe and Honor this Day of Grace with Undying Faith!  

Even With My Broken Heart...

I Give Thanks for Good Possibility!

Always, Melony
