Breathe Love--- Even on a Rainy Day: September 2018

Offering My Best and Honoring the Harvest!

Beautiful People,

When I offer my best without expectation, the Multi-Verse teaches me through the songs of Appreciation and Gratitude that travel through the wind and whistle in the cool breeze of the New Fall Season.

Musical notes of the song are written in the Autumn Leaves of green, gold and orange mixed with red and purple, like a rainbow bridge that allows me to dance my hopes and sorrows.

It is like We Are All Stars dancing with the Moon; Helping to Light the EarthHeart!

My heart beats to the rhythm of exalted joy whenever I have the courage to listen, sing, dance, live, share and honor the Harvest of the Eternal Love Song!

Re-membering the Eternal Love Song...

I Breathe and Exhale Deeply Ten Times.

Today with Gratitude, I Will Offer My Best Without Expectation!

Live & Love...

Always, Melony

Peace is Possible through Compassion, Cooperation, Courage, Creativity, Deep Listening, Faith, Forgiveness, Good Purpose, Hope, Integrity, Joy, Kindness, Mercy, Patience, Understanding, Wisdom and the Gift of 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."
