Bring Harmony To Gardens Of Our Hearts!

               Bring Harmony To Gardens Of Our Hearts!


Listen to the whispers of the Uni-Verse and the cries of the winds, the mountains and oceans.


We are hearing and feeling the echoes of dissonant harmonics of Mother Earth. Our greed causes imbalance, death and destruction. Our many actions of violence and hate are disrupting the Creator's Heart.


Re-birth and Transformation are possible only through a Resurgence of Love.


Only through Love can we provide safety for our Children, nurturing them and our Elders with Hope through Grace so that our Earth Garden and Hearts Blossom with Good Dreams and lives of Opportunity Grace and Mercy.


Breath Deeply Ten Times. In Love. Out Love. In Love. Out Love. In Love. Out Love.....


In the coming of this New Season of Re-Birth, we must ask for, and embrace Divine Wisdom.


We must speak the Truth to each other honestly, and acknowledge our wrong actions so that there is Peaceful Reconciliation and we can move forward in Love.


We must honor and respect each other, and through our diplomatic actions call for an end to the many economic, social, spiritual and political injustices, as well as the end of violence and war.


Today Allow Your Heart to Awaken. Embrace Divine Wisdom. With your every thought and action--- Plant, and Nurture New Seeds of Hope, Compassion and Cooperation.


It Is Through the Gift of Love that Our Good Dreams Will Blossom and Bring New Harmony in the Gardens of Our Hearts, On Earth and Throughout the Uni-Verse.


Again Breathe Deeply. In all ways live to Honor Our Blessed Creator. Offer the Gift of Love!


Always, Melony

Prosperous Mountains of HOPE!

 
                   Prosperous Mountains of HOPE!

Beyond the politics of corporations, governments, religions and who's who in the social hierarchy of communities, you will discover Prosperous Mountains of Hope;  hidden in every Heart; but sometimes forgotten by people who live in fear.

Courage, Mercy, Truth and Respect live in these mountains-- with the desire only to be of service, and to build a World of Love.

For those seeking Peace, they offer the Wisdom of Collective Ancestors.  For those who are sick, Courage, Mercy, Truth and Respect show Compassion and offer Loving Care.

For those who are sad, angry, or needing forgiveness, Courage, Mercy, Truth and Respect listen and offer Unconditional Love.

 Love is like honey, it always helps to heal.

I am like an innocent child always believing that Prosperous Mountains of Hope lay hidden in every Heart seeking to build a World of Love!


Today,  Let Us Take Time To Breathe Deeply and Exhale Slowly Ten Times Throughout the Day. 


Breath In Love.  Exhale Love. Breath In Love. Exhale Love.  Breath In Love. Exhale Love. Breath In Love.  Exhale Love.  Breath In Love. Exhale Love......

Please Re-ember that  Peace Is Possible through Compassion, Hope, Forgiveness, Kindness, Integrity, Kindness, Mercy, Respect, Understanding and Love! 


Always, Melony

Offering An Apology...

Offering An Apology...

"Good afternoon Melony, I would like to start off by apologizing for bringing negative energy to the group today. That wasn’t the best representation of myself, and I regret anything I may have taken from the group. I also want to thank you for your time and effort. It’s not everyday a person can be so negative, and get such a respectful response in return even when they don’t deserve it. I can tell you care about people in a more meaningful way than just on the surface. That’s your gift and I’m grateful you shared it with me."

Beloveds,
Recently I was offered a Profound Apology and it touched my heart and healed many old wounds with Love. I thought all the times that I myself had fallen short of being my best self and had needed to apologize. 
 
An Apology offered is one of the most compassionate and Loving acts that we can offer ourselves and others. It opens the door to Hope and allows Us to Live with Dignity and Love.

Today let us consider the Healing of an Apology. 
 
Breathe and Exhale Deeply In Love and Respect 6 Times.

In Love and Respect. Out Love and Respect. In Love and Respect. Out Love and Respect. In Love and Respect. Out Love and Respect. In Love and Respect. Out Love and Respect. In Love and Respect. Out Love and Respect. In Love and Respect. Out Love and Respect. In Love and Respect. Out Love and Respect.

Let Us Say to Ourselves...

"Because I am willing to value, forgive and nurture myself, I am able to see the good in others; to have the courage to apologize with humility; and to nurture every relationship with kindness, compassion and respect. I focus on Good, Forgive all mistakes and nurture myself and All Others. In this way, I grow to understand that every Apology offered helps bring a bit of Peace to the Heart of Humanity!" 
 
And So It Is With Love! 
 
Always, Melony

I honor life's mystery and allow Love to pour through me and out into the World. "
