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." ---A Loving Heart 
                                   
Beautiful People, 

When I was offered this Profound Apology, it touched my heart and healed many, many old wounds with Love.   

I thought of 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.  

An Apology 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 10 Times.

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, Integrity and Respect. 

I focus on Good, Forgive 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!" 

Live & Love! 

Always, Melony

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

My Beloved America...
#WeVOTEWeWIN2018

My Beloved America...

What Are You? 

Where Is Our Cherished Democracy? 

Why have you allowed Deceitful Progress to come and steal our Children's Future?

America, you have sent away our jobs, robbed us of our life savings or homes and taken away our Privacy, our Right to Assemble, our Free Speech, our Healthcare, our Access to Airwaves....

And Our Right to VOTE!

America, YOU and Deceitful Progress have used the Nation's Courts to discriminate against Citizens, to create monopolies for Robber Barons, to Steal and Control OUR Nation.

America, you have turned neighbor against neighbor and used technology to bicker and create new wars and prisons for profit when you SHOULD  BE..

Nurturing the Brilliance, the Creativity, the Genius and the Hope of ALL of Our Children.

Stop Lying America. 

Almost 50 percent of this Nation is living in Poverty with No Opportunity to Grow and Prosper. 

Know This...
We Will Continue to Organize, RESIST and VOTE!

My Beloved America...

There will be No Real Progress without Equity, Education, Integrity, Good Jobs, Healthcare and Respect for All the People, and a Real Pathway to Citizenship for Immigrants in Our Nation!

My Beloved America...

What Are You? 

Where Is Our Cherished Democracy? 

My Beloved America...
My Beloved America...
My Beloved America...

Know This...

We Will Continue to Challenge and RESIST. 

We Will Challenge and Resist with Consistent Good Efforts, Good Purpose, Hope and Integrity. 

And, We the Citizens Will WIN!

Love Has Many Roads...#RideACamel

Love Has Many Roads...

Beautiful People, 

We may walk, ride a bike or take the bus. Some even travel by camel, donkey or elephant.   

Some drive a car, row a boat or sail on the ocean. Others travel mostly by train and plane. 

No matter our culture or religion; no matter what country you live in--some things about this World are truly the same. 

There will be rains of kindness, storms of difficulty and lessons of Awakening to the Love. 

Through Love, we learn to let go of anger or fear. 

We can embrace our power to heal, forgive, share and walk as Beings infused with the Creator's Grace! 

Slowly Breathe and Exhale Deeply Six Times.  Allow each breath to be filled with Love.  

Today Re-member,  Love Has Many Roads and Desires Only to Be Awakened in Every Heart So That All May Live and Know the Sunshine of Hope!

Live & Love...

Always, Melony

Being Thankful...

Being Thankful... 

Beautiful People, 

Let Us Clear Our Minds of All Distractions. 

Now, Breathe Deeply and Exhale Slowly Ten Times.

What do we have to be Thankful for? 

When we are Alive... 

We learn to be Thankful 
for every experience 
that offers us a moment 
to Awaken within our hearts. 

I invite you to join me 
as I say Thank You... 

Thank You for All Those Who Have Lived and Loved.  

Thank You for each moment 
of Loving Grace. 

Thank you for each 
learning opportunity which 
calls for me to expand 
and develop in deeper understanding. 

Thank you for each mistake 
which has given me new wisdom. 

Thank you for showing me true 
compassion in the hearts of others, 
as I learn to meet them heart to heart. 

Thank you for my tears 
which show me the unlimited 
depth of my heart, much like 
the vastness of your MultiVerse. 

Thank you for the disappointment 
and hard lessons that allow me to learn to release judgment and discover new gifts because I am able to let go of my expectations. 

Thank you for allowing me 
deep listening, as well as 
an incomprehensible space 
that leaves me with joy to share. 

Thank you for the Breath of 
Your Loving Grace, and your 
constant Divine Whisperings 
that resides within me 
and All Others. 

Thank you for every argument 
and world tantrum that calls 
for All of Humanity 
to let go of our 
selfishness and greed. 

Today I let go of my attachment 
to what I think I know. 

As I Awaken within Your Heart, 
I embrace the UnKnown with 
Hope, Infinite Faith and 
Appreciation for Each Miracle 
of Life! 

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

We Will Rise Up!  #Poor Peoples Campaign 2018 #VOTE

Beautiful People, 

As People Awaken in Love, We Will Rise Up and Be Inspired by Truth. We Are One Only In Love!

The Minority who have taken the resources from the Majority, and are living in opulence will find that their reigns are being questioned.

People will take to the streets and protest with both Dignity and Frustration. People Will Want a Voice in Their Destiny. People Will Demand to Be Heard.

People Will Continue To Demand the Right to VOTE. 

People Will No Longer Accept, Classism, Racism, Sexism or Discrimination as a Way of Life.

People will want more for their Children and begin to protest unfair legal, social, political and economic practices that result in discrimination.

People will no longer accept living in Poverty. They will want their Children to have quality education, affordable healthcare, homes filled with a Loving Peace, and Bright Futures with Good Opportunity.

The Majority of People Will Want Leaders with Compassionate Hearts. This Time Has Come!

We must all hold a positive, peaceful, nonviolent resolve as we move into an era where more people want to create, live and thrive in Equitable, Respectful Societies!

Breathe Deeply Ten Times. 
In Love with Hope. Out Integrity with Purpose!

We Rise. We Rise. We Rise! 

Let Us All Vow to Move Forward, and Vision Positive, Loving Societal Transitions with Truth and Reconciliation with the Sharing of Resources and Power!

All Saints Day Re-Membering Ancient Grandmothers and Grandfathers Too!

All Saints Day

Re-Membering Ancient Grandmothers and Grandfathers Too!  (Inspired by the teachings of Elizabeth Anne Hin)

Beautiful People, 

I would like to Share a Hopeful Story of Re-Membering with You!   

First, Please Breathe Deeply In Love and Exhale Love Slowly Ten Times!

I Re-Member when the sun shone on a crisp Fall day, and the wind blew so that leaves danced as old friends, and Eternal Lovers.

Even now the music plays in my head.  A drum beats steadily
as bells create joyful, melodies of Grace.

It was then that many were Reborn.

Reborn with the understanding
that Love is patience in the knowing
and feeling of humility, and compassion.

Many were re-born knowing Love Is All There Is, and Ever Was.

And therefore it is no surprise
that today we find ourselves 
amongst the fallen red/orange/yellow/green leaves and gather them tenderly as if they are our most precious possessions.

For these leaves represent the passage of time---a settling,
an understanding, an appreciation of Grace.

Ancient Grandmothers and Grandfathers Too are surprised, really, that some of us don’t re-member to fully embrace the breath of our hearts.

It is a Breath as sweet as jasmine,
as salty as an ocean breeze, as light and refreshing as the smell of trees when it rains.

The Breath is all things that allow us a new understanding of the old.

We often have reason for celebration for we are ancient in our desire, in our faith, and our understanding.

And re-member, since the beginning of time Grandmothers and Grandfathers Too have said that Peace is a pathway that lies beneath each thought, feeling, and action.

Peace is an opportunity to create a world of tranquility filled with hope, and manifested by healing.

Peace is the smile of joy on a child’s face as she or he holds the hand of a grandparent and adoringly they say to eachother, I Love you!

Peace is each of us re-visiting our anger and forgiving ourselves through Love.

Peace is honoring the healing process and holding a space for the joy that can come after.

Peace is each of us walking tranquilly with no guns, no weapons of mass destruction, and no more red buttons in the White House
created to annihilate the world.

Peace is hope, day and night
illuminated by hard work, and the quest for cures of all the ills of our society.

Peace is illuminated by each step into Grace and the reconciliation of differences that now serve to plant
new seeds in our Universal Garden.

Ancient Grandmothers and Grandfathers Too are surprised; really, that some of us don’t re-member harmonics as the flowers of Grace which eternally have formed new bouquets of hope, of infinite healing, of courage, of solutions to age old challenges.

These bouquets honor and salute
our entire sentient family and reflect a unique understanding of the future of the Universe.

Ancient Grandmothers and Grandfathers Too are asking us to become more aware of a special sense of order.

Rebirth, transformations, endings, beginnings again, and again remind us that there is always cause for celebration, always an opportunity to expand our vision,
and our hearts.

Ancient Grandmothers and Grandfathers Too are asking Us to pay more attention; to walk in the field of miracles, to embrace the newness of leaves fallen with hope, appreciation and courage.

What if in this moment we imagine
a potential new healing supported by angels, masters and spirit guides as well as trees, mountains, oceans, sea lions, eagles, doves, dolphins and whales.

Ancient Grandmothers and Grandfathers Too tell us that Truth is the constant re-minder and the unearthing in the Now.

Truth is the intuition, integrity and courage within each of us.

Truth is the desire to live, hope and dream of Love---of a tranquil world with opportunity, healing, food, equity, and the fulfillment of good dreams for all.

Truth is a new song created by the Symphony.  The chords are stronger, the harmony intensified.

Surety is the reality. Resistance too is a part of the Song. Together it all becomes a Symphony of Love
within the passage of time.

Love is traveling through unknown pathways.  Love is with new purpose.

Love is with new meaning.  It is a song where fear is transformed 
into hope with the courage to take
a solo of compassion created by humility.

The Symphony of Love creates a 
New Infinite that carries us beyond; in this time, and beyond, the beyond, the beyond!

Ancient Grandmothers and Grandfathers Too remind us that Joy is in the be-ing, in the recognizing, in the acceptance of Love.

Just As Breathing creates the pathway for the journey of Love into new sound vibrations of Harmonic Grace.

The sun shone on a crisp Fall day,
and the wind blew so that leaves
danced as old friends, and Eternal Lovers.

Ancient Grandmothers, and Grandfathers too are surprised; really, that some of us don’t re-member Harmonics as the flowers of Grace which Eternally have formed new bouquets of Hope, of Infinite Healing, of Courage, of Integrity, of Love and Solutions to Age Old Challenges.

Please Breathe Deeply In Love and Exhale Love Slowly Ten Times.

Today, Re-Member Love Is All There Is, and Ever Was.

BE LOVE! 
KNOW LOVE! 
SHARE LOVE!
 
Live & LOVE...

 Always, Melony

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