Seasons and Storms!

Beautiful People, 

Rest and plan through the Winter.  

Plant new seeds in the Spring.  

Enjoy the beauty of your Summers. 

Pray that the Fall Harvest will produce bountiful fruits to be shared.  

Breathe Deeply and Exhale Slowly Four Times Often.  

Offer Gratitude all throughout your day.  

Through the rains of difficulty;  listen deeply, pray, open your heart to healing, create art,

sing and dance away your sorrow.  

In storms of change, find calm shelter and wait patiently for your heart to see the Rainbow. 

Embrace the Tree of Life and All its Seasons. 

Breathe Deeply with Appreciation, Compassion, Humility, Integrity and Love.

Speak in Peace.  Grow in Peace.  Walk in Peace.  Live in Peace.  Be the Peace. 

Most Importantly;  With Good Purpose; Tend the Earth, Your Gardens, Your Peaceful Hearts, and Your Neighbors with Unselfish Love.

Always, Melony 💚

A Beautiful Memory from 2000 with an #Ascended #EarthAngel ...

A Beautiful Memory from 2000 with an #Ascended #EarthAngel ...

In October 2000, My Dear Friend and SiSTAR from our hometown of Pittsburgh, PA, #DivaJazzSinger #VeaWilliams and I took a photo outside of Barnes & Noble Lincoln Triangle  in NYC in celebration of my first booksigning of SUNSHINE and OLIVIER.  

I never saw this picture but it was sent to me after I spoke at Vea's Celebration of Life Service on March 7th, 2020.  What a Beautiful Memory!

Before Vea left this Earth Plane,  I was able to share with her the 20th Anniversary Edition of SUNSHINE and OLIVIER and my dream that it would appear on screen as a movie.  She Was So Very Happy for Me! 

Thank You Vea for your exquisite #EarthAngelHeart and generous support of my writing. Thank You Patricia Blakey and Your Precious MOMPriscilla for the Miracle of this Special Photo!  

I know that Vea is in Heaven Praying, Singing and Chanting Her Buddhist Chants with Loving Support!  

This photo of Vea and Me is a reminder that though life is short, We Must Never Give Up  on Our Dreams.  

In Celebration of Friendship and #AscendedEarthAngelVea, I am asking that YOU GET YOUR READ ON during this time  of the Coronavirus Quarantine. 

Folks, Have YOU Purchased YOUR Copy of the novel SUNSHINE and OLIVIER or the #inspirationaljourneybooks SEEKER DREAMER or HEALING ADAGIO from Amazon Yet?

"GLORY" by Elizabeth Catlett at Muskegon Art Museum

Today's Museum Alphabet is brought to you by the letter H. 

H is for Head! - "Glory" 1981, by Elizabeth Catlett (American, 1915-2012) was a gift of the Drs. Osbie and Anita Herald Fund in 2000.

In a career spanning more than 70 years, Elizabeth Catlett  created sculptures that celebrate the heroic strength and endurance of African American working-class women. With simple, clear shapes she evokes both the physical and spiritual essence of her subjects. Her hardy laborers and nurturing mothers radiate both power and a timeless dignity and calm. Regardless of the medium, Catlett reveals an extraordinary technical virtuosity, a natural ability to meld her curving female forms with the surface texture, grain, and color of the material.

The subject of this bronze cast is Glory Van Scott, a Chicago dancer, actress, author, educator, and civic activist born in 1947. Catlett met her at a conference on African American women across generations and art disciplines. The sculpture conveys strength, confidence, poise, and beauty. 

Elizabeth Catlett earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in 1940 from the University of Iowa, where she studied with Grant Wood. He taught students to "paint what you know best." Catlett heeded his advice and focused on the heritage and experience of the African American woman.

On Mistakes and Miracles . ..

On Mistakes and Miracles...

Beautiful People, 

Please Clear Your Minds and Open Your Hearts to Truth.

Now Breathe and Exhale Deeply Ten Times.

So many of us judge others without acknowledging our own failures or mistakes. 

I do not deny that I have made mistakes because there is a part of me that knows that All of us have been Sinners.  

Through our thoughts, wishes and actions or our greed, envy and hate....Many of us, have at some point been thieves, guilty of murder, or even of offering ourselves for sale.

I know I have made many mistakes through my lack of vision and understanding,  as well as society's conditioning and dangerous programming.  

Poor Judgment has served to teach me valuable lessons of loss and helped me learn to  move forward to Divine Grace through Integrity.  

And Many Miracles have come through Forgiveness. 

Forgiveness stood by my side and taught me to Love Myself through it all.  Forgiveness has also taught me to Love and Forgive Others.

The Truth Is...

I have learned that I am not my mistakes. Nor are you your mistakes!

It is time for many of us to find Our Way Home to Compassion, Forgiveness, Kindness and Mercy. 

 In Truth, We Are the Ocean's Waves. We Are the Sand and Stardust of Good Potential that lives in our hearts of Hope waiting to be Used More.  

As We Grow Into a New Loving Consciousness with Integrity...

Miracles of Love and Joy Will Become Our Pathways of Hope and Possibility!

Always, Melony 💚

I Give Thanks !

I Give Thanks!

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 UniVerse and MultiVerse  as Love's lesson and  jewels of Undying Faith.

I Breathe and Exhale Deeply Ten Times. 

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

I Give Thanks to the Elders and Ancestors who have Loved us, nurtured us, and Ascended into the Heart of G-d, 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 any illness, including

the coronavirus pandemic

 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 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 New Day of Grace with Undying Faith!

I Give Thanks! 

 Always, Melony 💚

 Beautiful People,

Today I Pray.  I Sit In Silence Asking for Guidance and Direction.  

The question some of us may be asking in this time of the Coronavirus and Painful Transformation is..."Will Hope Be Enough for All to Re-Connect to Our Divine Source of Love?".  

The Truth Is that All Actions of Love Make this World Better!  I close my eyes, trust and allow time to pass.  

I Breathe and Exhale Many Times.  In Hope with Love.  Out Hope with Love.  

I follow the Light through the darkness.  Each step I take into my heart fills me with Grace and gives me Hope.  

I Vision Good Change on Earth. Good Change is not always comfortable or easy. 

Sometimes Change brings confusion and chaos.   The World Is Changing.  I Am Changing.

I hold on to Faith and ask for more Courage.  I keep moving towards the Light.  

I Breathe.  In Hope with Love.  Out Hope with Love.  

I Thank Our Blessed Creator.  I Honor Our Ancestors and All Who Have Ascended.

It is Spring.  As I step into Good Change, I imagine that I become the Light.  All around me are other Lights.  We are those Spirits Awakening with Respect and Integrity. 

Together We Are Breathing.   In Hope with Love.  Out Hope with Love.  

Collectively we honor Ancestors, Elders, Children, Helpers, Nurtturers and Ourselves.  

We vision a World of Loving Peace where there is equity,  good education and housing; as well as a blossoming sustenance and Good Possibility for All.  We Share Lovingly.  We Forgive.  We smile and decide to work together to help heal our broken hearts and our EarthHeart.

Somewhere buttercups, tulips and magnolia trees are beginning to blossom. Robins and hummingbirds sing.  The powerful voice of blue jays is heard even by dolphins and whales.  

The oceans roar and the wind calls on us to Love.  And Love vibrates and spins new melodies.

Yes.  It is Spring, and Change Is Here!  Hope, Love and New Possibility fill the air.  

It is time to continue our individual and Collective Journeys with Courage, Integrity, Good Purpose and Respect for Eachother.  

May Humanity Awaken with Integrity and Allow Love to Lead so that Our Children Thrive and Grow and Prosper with Good Dreams Everywhere throughout the World.

With Joy, Humility, Gratitude and Love...Let Us All Breathe Deeply!

Live & Love...

Always, Melony 💚

Spirit Ramblings...

Spirit Ramblings...

Beautiful People,

Let Us Breathe Deeply and Exhale Slowly Many Times. 

My heart dreams often…

looking into the eyes of strangers seeing Love, feeling Love.

For they are not strange to me. Often it is a brother or sister, maybe even a mother, a father or a dear friend from a past life.

I wonder do they know me too or are my soul ramblings vivid only to myself?

My thoughts are so intense, viewing yesterdays and tomorrows as if they are today.

The concept of time escapes me.

But come let us travel around the galaxy and share joy.  Our hearts know no limitations for we can be One with the Divine through Love.

‘And what is Love?’  You ask.

Love is a rainbow or a smile glistening like a star at night.

Love is a storm readjusting and cleansing the EarthHeart so that plants will grow and we may feel even the sizzle of an ant and know bliss.

Love is opening your heart and feeling the wisdom of an oak tree or the magical transformation of a caterpillar to a butterfly.

Love is walking along the shore; your feet gently nestled in the sand with ocean water caressing your legs and the smell of a salt breeze kissing your face as you watch the sun set or the moon rise, and ponder swimming with the dolphins.

Love is believing that ALL people are gifts from the Divine and knowing that each of us is related and interconnected with every other sentient being.

Love Is Everything, Everywhere.  Love is co-creating with the Divine.

‘How do we co-create?’  You ask.

Imagine that when your fingers tingle for no apparent reason that That is the Divine teaching you, helping you to understand what it is like when a flower blooms.

Or perhaps when you experience unexplainable tears of joy, your heart is opening, expanding like a womb when a baby is being born.

And so on some level, you too understand the bliss of motherhood.

 You smile.  That is good.

My Spirit Ramblings have often brought me much laughter.

Laughter can release fear and helps us understand one another.

Laughter is for me a desire for Grace.  A desire to reconnect with other Souls.

My heart feels many thoughts around me.  Some are asking…

‘How can we co-create the bliss of Love?’ ‘It is not possible.’  You say.

 Here Is a Question for You…

If it is possible to feel my heart beat “boom ba ba ba boom ba boom ba ba ba boom”;  is it because you remember Love or is it the fear that one you hold dear will leave again?

Do not answer, but muse in your heart.

Re-Member, it is time to Forgive. 

Time Only to Love.

 Now come, let us travel together on our Soul Journey Back to the Divine.

Live & Love...

Always, Melony 💚

A Visionary Meditation for the Peacemaker! 

Beautiful People, 

Many Blessings To Each Of YOU. 

Please take a moment to clear your mind and your heart of any distractions. 

Now, Breathe and Exhale Deeply Ten Times.

In Gratitude, Love and Patience.  Out Gratitude, Love and Patience...

Please join me today and embody the Peacemaker.

Know that Earth Is OUR Heart.

As the birds create new medleys of awareness, let us walk with acceptance, healing and understanding.

Now we call on the resources of the trees, and water, and the sun, and the insects, and elephants and dolphins, rocks and mountains, and the wind, and the sky and All Sentient Beings.

We all are partners and together right now, we are given a renewed appreciation of Divine Patience and Understanding. 

Allow your bodies to relax as we merge with Nature around us.

Breathe LOVE, ONLY LOVE.

As a Peacemaker, you are learning to walk with the right questions that allow for honest negotiation and conversation.

Look to the oceans, the rivers, the ponds and the streams.  Become a tiny pebble that creates a ripple of awareness as you toss yourself into a body of water.

Ask that others with like hearts create pebbles of cooperation, honesty, humility, integrity, wisdom, mercy, patience, respect, understanding and Love throughout EARTH as Our Living HEART. 

You Have Awakened and ReMembered.  Now as you walk across the Rainbow Bridge of JOY; let the song of LOVE pierce our planet as we join together to create a New World of Equanimity and Peace.

Right NOW, as we merge with the DivineONE...

We vision and see ourselves existing in a World where all children are nurtured and educated and Loved. 

Our Ancestors are Re-Membered. Our Seniors and Children are cared for, honored and Loved.

It is a World of #Compassion #Acceptance #Integrity #Humility #Mercy and #Peace

Know that as You Believe in Love, then the Air You Breathe Will Be Love.

You Are a Peacemaker, Dedicated to Helping Heal Our EarthHeart.

Today As You Honor Our Blessed Divine Creator, Allow Grace to Move Through You.

All that You Think, Do and Share.... Can and Should Be Done with UnSelfish Love. 

Always, Melony 💚
