On the Road to Redemption; We Can Invoke Divine Spirit...

On the Road to Redemption; We Can Invoke Divine Spirit...

Beautiful People, 

There have been times when I have I failed, fallen or forgotten my own greatness and capacity for Joy. 

Still, because my heart was fragile and broken open, ultimately I have learned to practice facing what I have feared.

How Do I Practice?  By Invoking Divine Spirit.

Most days I live trying to listen deeply; hoping to grow wiser! 

On the Road to Redemption, every day I say thank you for the difficult lessons. 

Today I Breathe Slowly and Deeply; in and out many times! 

With each breath, I practice Invoking Divine Spirit and Offer Prayers for the Redemption of Humanity. 

I ask to remember to step gently, and to offer my gifts tenderly. 

I ask for personal and Collective Redemption. 

I choose to open my heart and Embrace a Good Purpose for Humanity, and Our Sentient Earth Family with Love! 

Will You Join Me?

Live & Love...

 Always, Melony πŸ’œ
aka Miss Mellie Rainbow 🎊

Beautiful People, 

Breathe Deeply  and Exhale Slowly Six Times.

"I Believe In You!" 

“I Believe In You!” is both a whisper and a roar that awakens and inspires us to live with Integrity. 

“I Believe In You!”.  It is the Sun, the Moon and the Stars in Unity and Love together with the dolphins and whales and all the magnificent fish in the Ocean.   

"I Believe In You!".   It is the Lullaby of Hope that Ancestors, Grandparents, Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, Brothers, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Friends and Community Should Sing to Children. 

I Believe In You!".   It is GRACE in Symphony singing the Love Song of the Multi-Verse. 

Now Breathe and Exhale Deeply Four Times.

Letting Go of the Lie!

Letting Go of the Lie!

Beautiful People, 

Hate, greed, envy and selfishness has caused so many of us to hide the Truth and lie to protect our material selves.  

But lies have no strength or foundation in Love.  Every lie becomes first a distraction and then, a weapon of despair used to subjugate and promote acts of systemic racism, violence and wars.  

Though the Truth may be painful, through Courage, it provides us an opportunity to ask for and offer Forgiveness so that we can be like Lights in a tunnel of darkness where so many of us have lost their way.  

Breathe Deeply Ten Times.  

With each Breath, Inhale Truth, Courage and Love. As  You Exhale, let go of every lie that you  have been told to make you believe that one group of people is superior over another.  

#BlackLivesMatter. Truth and Reconciliation Are Necessary. 

Sit quietly in the Newness of Truth.

It is time to understand that we must have fairness, equality, equity, opportunity and prosperity for All.

And so, it is for Our Blessed Creator, the children of the many generations to come, and for every Ancestor who desired equality and Peace that you are given the courage, fortitude, integrity and strength to Offer Your Hand in Healing and Hope.  

Today Say to Yourself...
"I will offer compassion, respect and Love.  I understand that through Our Collective Good Actions; Ancient Wounds Can Be Healed."

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

Let us care enough to be Truthful and learn to walk together as Equals, sharing our cultural and material gifts;  and step into our Destiny of Healing and Hope with Loving Hearts!

Again Breathe Deeply Ten Times.  With each Breath,  Inhale Truth, Courage and Love.  Slowly Exhale, Truth, Courage, and Love!

Live & Love...

Always, Melony πŸ’–
aka Miss Mellie Rainbow 🎊

If I Were a Path I Would Say...

If I Were a Path I Would Say...

Beautiful People,

Take a Moment to Clear Your Mind and Your Heart!  

Now Breathe Deeply and Exhale Slowly Ten Times. 

Now You Have Asked "If I Were a Path What Would I Say?" 

I Would Say...
Welcome to Love.  Welcome to Truth.  I don't promise that there will be no detours or road blocks...

In fact, that is part of the Journey so that you are able to Examine Truth and Love. 

This is a Path of Compassion and Healing in Earth School.  

And for the very first time in a long time, You Are Welcome to Express Your Self Righteous Indignation. 

I  See You, and You, and You...  

So often you have been overlooked because of the color of your skin or social status. 

Systemic Racism, Xenophobia, Sexism, Classism and All the Other negative "isms" really DO Fill the hearts of many. 

And in the hearts of many of these people is Their Need for Control and Fear of Your Greatness.  

These are the very people who maintain that YOU ARE the Other. They Are Mistaken. 

The Truth Is WE ARE ALL ONE IN LOVE.  And YOU Have the Divine Right to Be Acknowledged and Seen.

Speak Your TRUTH.  Yes!  Speak Your Truth and Be Willing to Listen.

Re-Member, YOU Are on a Journey of Miracles. On this Road, when You Speak Your Truth About All These ISMS, YOU Will Help Others Be Strong, Compassionate and Loving. 

Please Don't Be Silent About Disrespect, Hate or Injustice towards Yourself or Others! 

Right Now,  Go to Your Heart.

Again, Breathe Deeply and Exhale Slowly. 

Always Re-Member....
The Desire for Equality, Equanimity, JOY, Love and Good Purpose with Prosperity to Share Lives Within YOU, Your Children and Your Children's Children!

Together Let Us Commit to Embrace, Live and Walk the Path of Compassion and Truth with Loving Integrity!

Live and Love...

#Common Rocked My World with His Book LET LOVE HAVE THE LAST WORD

#Common Rocked My World with His Book LET LOVE HAVE THE LAST WORD! 

Beautiful People, 

When #Common celebrated the release of his new book #LETLOVEHATHELASTWORD, at Riverside Church, I was in the audience and was blessed by #Common to be selected to come on stage and engage in a conversation around Forgiveness.  I left with a signed copy of #LETLOVE which said, "To Melony,  Love Queen. Ms. Rainbow Thank You for Your Love & Light."  

I Felt Seen, Seen and Appreciated.   That was the opening of several Miracles of Grace that Rocked My World! Thank You #Common and Team.

As a compassionate communications practitioner, interfaith minister and writer, for many years I have observed Common emerge as one of the many #AwakenedSpirits committed to Live with Good Purpose, Integrity and Truth.  

As a Spiritual Elder, I see Common  and many others as Bridges of Hope.  #MumuFresh, #IndiaIrie, my Godsons Husn Dobbs & Chaz Dobbs, Jr. (and his beautiful wife Piper),  Mohamed Rum (owner of Scent Elate), #AishaJackson (former cast of #FROZEN #Broadway) my cousin  Zachariah McGant aka SlimKat78 and countless others are #AwakenedSpirits.

Like all of these great creatives, #Common has the courage to #SpeakTheTruth as well as to focus on #Healing, #Forgiveness and #Love.

I Am Steeped In #Gratitude for the Generousity of These #EarthAngels  Mentioned for their inspiration and/or support of my new book SUNSHINE & OLIVIER, 20th Anniversary Edition by Melony McGant; and many others who are reflecting courage, forgiveness, healing, hope, integrity, and Love Around the Earth. 

#SUNSHINEANDOLIVIER is an urban story of #PastLife Awakening, Family Skeletons, Forgivness, Healing and Love.  May It Trigger Your Hearts! 

Live & Love...

Always,

Summer Solstice Meditation: Behold Many Miracles!

Summer Solstice Meditation: Behold Many Miracles! 

Beautiful People, 

Please take a moment to clear your mind and your heart. 

Breathe and Exhale Deeply Ten Times. 

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 heavy rains or snow storms will be your tears of disappointment, and dismay; mixed sometimes with the Joy of knowing Love. 

As new ideas, creative projects and your children are born, the air will bring you oxygen, ne6w 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. 

People will come and People Will Go. Time and time again you will harvest the fruit of Love with Gratitude; 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. 

Again, Breathe and Exhale Deeply Ten Times. 

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

Live & Love...

Always, Melony πŸ’–

#HonoringJUNETEENTH2020



Beautiful People,

Please Breathe Deeply and Exhale Slowly Ten Times.

Today As We Honor JUNETEENTH, Let us remember All That Our #Ancestors Endured and know that the there #generationaltrauma from the time of Slavery lives within us.

We know from the recent murders of #AhmadArbery, #BreonnaTaylor  #GeorgeFloyd and so many, many others that modern day #lynchings do exist.

Though JUNETEENTH represents the #EmancipationProclamation,  with this #Awakening so much has come to light and up until today there is #systemicracism in law enforcement, the judicial system and throughout our entire society.  There is Jim Crow in education, healthcare, housing, the judicial and prison system. There are inequitable economic opportunities. 

There is #gerrymandering and #votersuppresion and an #ElectoralCollege that is based in the roots of #chattelslavery and #systemicracism.

But also within us lives Our Ancestors Courage, Dreams, Hope and Love.
It Is Time for #GoodChange and #Healing Based In #Equality with #Equity and #GoodOpportunity.

As We #MoveForward together with #GoodPurpose, #ForOurChildren
let us acknowledge and embrace that #BlackLivesDoMatter .

With compassion, hope, integrity, tenacity and Love, let us actively work to dismantle #systemicracism as we build bridges of compassion and cooperation to ensure equal opportunity and justice with Prosperity for #ALLPEOPLE in all areas of our lives.

Also, Please Remember to Encourage Everyone to complete their #CensusForms and #VoteEverywhere2020

This year JUNETEETH allows us to face our #collectivetrauma and begin the process of #reconciliation and #healing  with a #ResurgenceOfHope.

Thanks for Your Beautiful Hearts!

Live & Love...

My #LoveOffering... I'm Beautiful. I'm Handsome. And I'm Smart!


My #LoveOffering...
I'm Beautiful.  I'm Handsome. And I'm Smart!

Beautiful People,

My MOMBetty J. Tilman wrote and taught me this song and asked me to share it with Children All Over the EarthHeart. Over the past 20 years, I've shared it in bookstores, school classrooms, parks and homes for STORYTIME.

I believe that we must teach our children that they are special and ALL PEOPLE ARE SPECIAL.

We must Love them, encourage them and help them feel safe with their good dreams.  That is why we must support #BlackLivesMatter and work on every level to end #systemicracism and all the negative "isms".

We must encourage our children to believe that they are each beautiful, handsome and smart.  We should all be helping our children learn to have compassion, listen deeply, be kind, share and have respect for others. 

Today this is my #LoveOffering

In this time of #CollectiveAwakening, let's make sure that ALL OUR  CHILDREN feel Loved, nurtured and safe.  Tell them they are #EarthAngelsRising.

They are here to help us live with Good Pupose and to Share Compassion and Love. 

Children are here to remind us to  Build a World where all People have good food to eat, live in safe communities and homes and have quality education and healthcare with equal opportunity to Manifest their Good Dreams.

Please #SingWithYourChildren #ReadToYourChildren. 

Thank You for Accepting My #LoveOffering...

Clap Your Hands and Sing... I'm Beautiful.  I'm Handsome. And I'm Smart!

Please Share Widely and Spread Joy.

With Loving Appreciation,

Miss Mellie Rainbow🎊
aka Melony πŸ˜‡

Breathe, Feel, Smell, Look, Touch, Taste and Listen to Love!

Breathe, Feel, Smell, Look, Touch, Taste and Listen to Love!

Beautiful People,

Right Here, Now... 

Beyond the questioning or knowing as you watch the Sun set or the Waning Cresent Moon rise and kiss the Stars... 

In the twilight or early morning dawn as the Sun awakens you...

Let Us Give Thanks to Our Blessed Creator who Lives in Our Hearts and everywhere throughout the MultiVerse.

Breathe, Feel, Smell, Look, Touch, Taste and Listen to Love!

Love is the Creator's Gift to all who believe, embrace the Mystery and see beauty in the Soul Journey of every heart.

Love is the place of Healing and Integrity where yesterday and tomorrow merge into Now.

Love is letting go of notions of false superiority, envy, greed, jealousy and hate.

Love is walking in Peace and sharing compassion, offering hope and tender words to yourself and others so that you let go of old fears and heal hearts with Forgiveness, including your own heart.

Only when we believe that Love does not harm, is not selfish and does not envy will we experience the bliss of life.

Then we will feel Love in our hearts, taste it in our food, see it in the skies, the oceans, and the blossoming flowers and trees as they bloom and awaken in the New Day.

The moment we are willing to live our destiny as Beings of Love, and know that Love is the Creator's most Precious Gift; then we will be able to genuinely Love Our Neighbors and Offer Our Best so that together we Prosper with Joy.

In this moment, Right Now is the opportunity to Breathe, Feel, Smell, Look, Touch, Taste and Listen to Love!

Breathe Deeply Ten Times. In Love. Out Love. In Love. Out Love....

Today, How Will You Live and Honor the Creator in this Moment of Eternity?

Please Re-Member to Breathe, Feel, Smell, Look, Touch, Taste and Listen to Love!

Always, Melony πŸ’œ
aka Miss Mellie Rainbow 🎊
