Clearing Sacred Space!

Clearing Sacred Space! 

Beautiful People, 

The broken teapot of old hurts, the worn coats of disappointment, and the many shoes of fear are all items that clutter my heart that I no longer need. 

I Am BREATHING.

BREATHING.

LETTING GO. 

Cleaning.  Clearing. 
Organizing.  Polishing.
Sweeping.  Re-Arranging.

 FORGIVING.  SHARING.

LOVING. 

I Breathe  Deeply Ten Times.  
In Love with Gratitude.  
Out Love with Gratitude....

The Sacred Space of my home and my heart is a safe place of LOVE where the splendor of courage, healing, hope, humility, integrity, and Faith reside with Comfort.

We are preparing for Special Guests. 

Abundance, Blessings, Creativity, Grace, Mercy and New Miracles have promised to Visit Soon!

Again, I Breathe Deeply.

SAY YES!

Say YES! 

Beautiful People,

Joy is often hidden in Yes.

It is part of the story of our lives that too often we ignore.

We are too busy to listen, to offer a hug or hold a hand of a person in pain.

We often miss the miraculous moments because we are pre-occupied with work or self or fear.

Today please pay attention to what is going on around you.

Smile and connect to others.

Call an old friend.
Visit a sick friend.

Say "I Love You" to someone you cherish everyday.

Play a game and read a book with your child everyday.

Draw a picture, sing a song, create a dance, blow some bubbles, or Work for Good Change and Freedom.

Say Thank You at least ten times a day.

Say Yes to Being Alive, Living Your Dream and Helping Someone Else Live Their Dream.

Breathe Deeply Ten Times.
In Gratitude and Joy. Out Gratitude and Joy. 

The Time Is Now!

Let's come together, work together, sing, walk and work together.

Let's listen to each other, be kind to each other, have mercy and support each other.

Let's Love one another and remember to cherish and forgive each other as we live and honor Each Day with a willingness to Say YES! 

Live & Love...

Always, Melony  💚

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

RONALD K BROWN EVIDENCE at The JOYCE Theater...IS MUST SEE, LISTEN and FEEL Dance Performance!

TBT. This Photo with a Beautiful Lady Whose Name I Don't Know, Melony, Ronald K. Brown and Ronald K. Alexander Was Taken at #IABD2020 in Philadelphia.   I Am Posting in Honor of Ronald K. Brown Evidence Dance Company!

RONALD K BROWN EVIDENCE at The JOYCE Theater...IS MUST SEE, LISTEN and FEEL Dance Performance!

Beautiful People,

Last Night,  Deborah Ballard and I went to The JOYCE Theater to witness a performance  of the RONALD K BROWN EVIDENCE Dance Company.   

Instead of merely witnessing,  we went on a journey  of healing and hope. The storytelling, the music, the costumes, and lighting set the stage for us to receive the energy of the magnificent dancers.

Blending African dance with contemporary choreography filled with ying and yang energetic and technically challenging movement and dancers with personalities; those of us in the audience were invited to experience a range of emotions.   

We laughed and cried through HIGHLIFE.  We identified and felt moved by MERCY.  We embraced  Divine Love through GRACE. 

And having journeyed for 2 hours with these exquisite dancers while reflecting on our own personal stories,  (our conflicts and hardships, our joys, our struggles, our hopes and dreams)...

At the end of the Finale of GRACE, We All Rose, and Clapped with Full Hearts. 

Then Artistic Director,  Ronald K. Brown joined the dancers on stage.  And Again They Danced and We the Audience Were Inspired to Dance In Gratitude!  BRAVO!  BRAVO TO ALL INVOLVED IN CREATING A MAGICAL, MEANIFUL, MEMORABLE EVENING!

RONALD K BROWN EVIDENCE at The JOYCE Theater (February 25th- March 1st) IS MUST SEE, LISTEN and FEEL Dance Performance!  

Live & Love...

Always, Melony 💚

BLACK DETROIT by HERB BOYD

BLACK DETROIT by HERB BOYD

#HerbBoyd an American journalist, educator, author, and activist is the author of 23 books and one of the most important historians of our time.

His articles appear regularly in the New York Amsterdam News. He teaches black studies at the City College of New York and the College of New Rochelle.

On #Amazon
BLACK DETROIT by HERB BOYD
NAACP 2017 Image Award Finalist, 2018 Michigan Notable Books honoree.

"The author of Baldwin’s Harlem looks at the evolving culture, politics, economics, and spiritual life of Detroit—a blend of memoir, love letter, history, and clear-eyed reportage that explores the city’s past, present, and future and its significance to the African American legacy and the nation’s fabric.

Herb Boyd moved to Detroit in 1943, as race riots were engulfing the city. Though he did not grasp their full significance at the time, this critical moment would be one of many he witnessed that would mold his political activism and exposed a city restless for change. In Black Detroit, he reflects on his life and this landmark place, in search of understanding why Detroit is a special place for black people.

Boyd reveals how Black Detroiters were prominent in the city’s historic, groundbreaking union movement and—when given an opportunity—were among the tireless workers who made the automobile industry the center of American industry. Well paying jobs on assembly lines allowed working class Black Detroiters to ascend to the middle class and achieve financial stability, an accomplishment not often attainable in other industries.
Boyd makes clear that while many of these middle-class jobs have disappeared, decimating the population and hitting blacks hardest, Detroit survives thanks to the emergence of companies such as Shinola—which represent the strength of the Motor City and and its continued importance to the country. He also brings into focus the major figures who have defined and shaped Detroit, including William Lambert, the great abolitionist, Berry Gordy, the founder of Motown, Coleman Young, the city’s first black mayor, diva songstress Aretha Franklin, Malcolm X, and Ralphe Bunche, winner of the Nobel Peace Prize..."

Overstanding or I STAND With YOU!

Overstanding or I STAND With YOU!

Beautiful People, 

Let Us Clear Our Minds and Our Hearts. 

Letting Go Of the Days Challenges;  Breathe Deeply and Exhale Slowly Ten Times. 

In Love. Out Love. In Love. Out Love.  In Love. Out Love...

Have You Ever Wanted to Say to a Friend or Loved One...

"I may not understand each circumstance, or reason why, but I Stand With YOU. I will be there, if you desire, in the both the calm and the storms of life."

Or perhaps you have thought or said...

"We may be different religions, travel different paths or dis-agree in the moment but somewhere in the Universal loop of Overstanding--- what has always been and will always be is my hope and appreciation for you and your unique journey."  

What Exactly Is Overstanding? 

Overstanding is the Gift of Love without condition, just because! 

It is being able to speak from your heart and say for all time, 
"I Stand With YOU!"

Please Don't Delay... 

Say to a Friend or Loved  One
"I STAND With YOU" Today!

Live & Love...

Always, Melony 💚

Your Destiny Is Great!

Your Destiny Is Great! 

Beautiful People, 

Some people may ignore you because of where you come from, your social status, your religious beliefs or your race.  

Even your birth family may choose to close their hearts to you when you have been baptized in Love. 

Walk In Truth Anyway. 

Still yourself and open your heart.  Breathe and Exhale Deeply. Let go of all the places in your heart where you have been hurt or disappointed, and where you have hurt or disappointed yourself, or others. 

Offer Forgiveness to All, including Yourself.  

Let Rainbows of Care, Compassion and Humility begin to cleanse your soul.

Keep Breathing Deeply. 
Embrace the cloak of Courage and Integrity. 

Nuture and Honor the Genius Living in You!

Every wound gives temporary pain but also is a lesson in acquiring Strength in times of adversity. 

The fractured or broken bones, your muscles, your brain and your tender heart are always healing through your genuine ability to see the joy in overcoming whatever challenges we face.  This is Life.

Your Destiny lies beyond the disappointments or failures.  

Your Destiny will not be marred by jealous thoughts or petty actions.

Your Destiny Resides In the Heart of Love. This Is Truth.

Truth is the only way to live as a Being of Love. Knowing, speaking and being the Truth is how we live Our Purpose. 

No matter the obstacles, Everyone has a Purpose and a Contribution to make on Earth/Heart. It is something that only You can do, or say or write in the Fabric of Time. That Is Your Genius! 

Today Breathe and Exhale Deeply Ten Times. Inhale Courage, Integrity and Good Purpose. Exhale Love and Forgiveness..... 

Even when you  have taken wrong turn, think you are lost or it seems like all the familiar doors have closed... 

Please Don't Give Up.  Never Give Up! 

You Have Been Baptized In the Waters of Love.... 

Know that Your Destiny Is Great!

Live & Love... 

Always, Melony 💚

Remembering #BarackObama on #PresidentsDay

Remembering #BarackObama on #PresidentsDay 

Beautiful People, 

In 2017 I was visiting #GoreeIsland in #Dakar #Senegal. 

I met the director and he showed me a note from @barackobama
in a Guest Book that said 
"...We Must Remain Vigilant On Behalf  of the Rights of All Mankind!"

I was so grateful to learn that President Obama had visited Goree Island in 2009 and was extremely touched by his message of Love and Integrity. 

As I look at this photo I took of President Obama's Words of Hope; Even Today I Am Humbled and Encouraged by His Words!

Live & Love...

Always, Melony 💚
