Life, Death and No Regret! #QueenOfSoulArethaFranklin #EssenceMagazine

Life, Death and No Regret!

Beautiful People,

Let Us Clear Our Minds and Our Hearts. Now, Breathe and Exhale Deeply Four Times.

In Compassion and Love. Out Compassion, Courage, Healing and Integrity with Love...

Just as trees, flowers and all living things; we are all born from the Seed of Love. Even when our bodies are frail, our Hearts grow strong when nurtured with Love.

Some of us stay here for many years, share our creativity, gifts, genius and wisdom with many others, as we 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!

Joy comes when we learn to support and nurture eachother with compassion 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 Eternity in the Circle of Life and Love!

Live & Love...

Always, Melony

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

Rev.Melony McGant aka Miss Mellie Rainbow

Melony McGant, poet, storyteller, humanist and world lover of children lives on HOPE; works to breathe in love, and exhales fear (false expectations appearing real). She says "Perhaps our current challenges are wake-up calls for our collective awakening to truth." And she believes that the truth is, there is no need for our constant bickering, our disdain for eachother, for wars and killing, for world hunger, massive disease, for discrimination, subjugation, or oppression. She maintains that LOVE, even on a rainy day, is the answer to our dreams, our individual quests, and our future collective identity. "If we can learn to value our children, our elders, ourselves, and our Mother EarthHeart, then surely we have the power to impact society and to create a world filled with JOY."
