PAUSE: Chaos Is Rampant. BUT...

PAUSE: Chaos Is Rampant. BUT...

Beautiful People, 

PAUSE. Breathe and Exhale Deeply Ten Times.

 Yes. It is true. Chaos is rampant in Our World. 

But In Our World,  There Is More Beauty in Love than chaos. 

Throughout time we have created cycles of chaos through our greed, hate and selfishness. 

Through Compassion and Deep Listening Good Change then, Is Possible and Probable.

We Must Hold On to the Beauty and Embrace the Hope and Faith In Our Hearts. 

Today as you choose Your Good Change,  please remember that  Hope and Faith Are the Eternal Signposts of the Beauty We Can Experience As Beings of Love! 

This Is GRACE!

Believe. Breathe. Live. Love. 

Always, Melony 💕🦋💕

PAUSE: Open the Door for Love!

PAUSE: Open the Door for Love!

Beautiful People,

Take a Moment to Breathe and Exhale Deeply Ten Times. 

Breathe in Love.  Exhale Love.

Breathe in Love.  Exhale Love....

In the still of the night; at dawn and throughout the day; into dusk and evening...

Always we are being asked to have Courage and Open the Door for Love. 

Love is ever-present in the whispers of the wind and even the harsh storms. 

Love calls to us with mercy and asks only that we acknowledge its fruitful presence in our lives. 

So Many Are Not Listening. 

Yes, envy, evil, fear, greed and hate has unfortunately, become a stronghold for many.

Still the voice and song of Love travels throughout the ethers of time and offers Hope to those who are willing. 

Today Is a Day for Simple Miracles of Hope and Compassion. 

Awaken!  Say Thank You and Open the Door for Love. 

Today Accept, Nurture and Share the Fruit of Love!

Always, Melony 💕🦋💕

Transported to the Miracle Realm by Sweet Honey In The Rock!

Transported to the Miracle Realm by Sweet Honey In The Rock! 

Sweet Honey in the Rock  at The Town Hall in New York City transported me and many to the Miracle Realm.   The stage was lit beautifully with a series of stunning and emotional backdrops.

I saw people I hadn't seen in years, including Rev. Don Marbury, Senior Pastor and Elder, AME Church  Hagerstown, MD and his beautiful, brilliant compassionate wife, First Lady Sheila Marbury who had traveled from Hagerstown/Washington DC  area to celebrate their 50th Wedding anniversary and many more beautiful people.  

Happy 50th Anniversary to Rev. Donald L. Marbury, Mrs.  Sheila Marbury and beautiful team of #SweetHoneyInTheRock!

We listened to music that makes my heart sing sometimes with Joy and Sorrow too.   Sweet Honey speaks and Sings with Truth. Calling in the Ancestors. ReMembering those Ascended. Songs that say No More. Songs asking us to Stand Up and Call For Justice. Songs written by Dr. Bernice Reagon Johnson, Dr. Ysaye Barnwell, Miriam Makeba, Nina Simone and Marvin Gaye and current members. 

Like me, the audience was mesmerized and went on a journey with the magnificent, royal performers dressed elegantly in black and gold. 

Performing were Carol Maillard and Louise Robinson (both original co-founders of the group), Nitanju Bolade Casel, Aisha Kahlil, plus sign language interpreter Barbara Hunt. Special guest performers were vocalist Navasha Daya, and Herman Burney on acoustic bass and electric bass.

Just look at the photos and feel in your heart so that you too may be transported to the Miracle Realm. 

Let's Affirm the Greatness of 50 Years of Artivism by Sweet Honey In The Rock.  

  

Sweet Honey has given us hope, helped to heal our collective, lifted us up, offered prayers through music. They have held, rocked and fortified our hearts.

Sweet Honey In The Rock deserves the highest recognition and a multitude of awards that they haven't yet received including a lifetime Grammy and Kennedy Center Honors. 

Please, speak the name of Sweet Honey to your Congressional and Senate Delegations. 

Write President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris about their loving impact on the Deaf and All communities. 

Let's use our contacts and resources to help lift up the name of Sweet Honey In the Rock. Go see them when they are performing in your town.

Make plans to bring Sweet Honey In The Rock to your city, state in the United States and countries around the World.

Day of Miracles!

Day of Miracles!

Beautiful People, 

Today my GodDaughter Naima Dobbs  met me at Scent Elate and then we went to have lunch at Epanada Mama's. Naima gave me an exquisite Faith Ringold print and a loving note that brought me to tears.  Mo (Scent Elate owner) gifted me with a bottle of French perfume extract.

After lunch, we went back to Scent Elate to visit and shop. Naima purchased several things and left for her next appointment. 

And then here comes Legendary Cultural Icon Ben Vereen 🦋

Scent Elate is where I first met Ben.  What was amazing is that yesterday I wrote about him and today we joyously hugged. 

Ben Vereen, my GodDaughter  Naima Dobbs,  Scent Elate owner Mo Rum are all contributors in my new book GOOD IS POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE: An Affirmation of Hope due out October 2023.

Thanks Ben, Naima and Mo.  All of you make my heart sing and of course I cried tears of JOY.

A Spring Prayer: May We Let Go of Winters of Doubt!

A Spring Prayer: May We Let Go of Winters of Doubt! 

Beautiful People, 

First, take a moment to still your mind and your heart.

Now Breathe Deeply and Exhale Slowly Ten Times.

We Are Grateful for Spring and Offer Prayers of Healing and Hope. 

May We Let Go of Winters of Doubt and Awaken in Love, knowing we are a part of the Infinite UniVerse.

May we release our need to destroy, and desire only to Share and Heal. 

May we share our harvest of Prosperity and let go of winters of doubt that have haunted us and caused us pain. May we heal our Earth & our Hearts.

May we look to our sentient brothers and sisters; the trees, the flowers, all plant life, sea life, the stars, insects, animals and all beings of MotherEarthHeart and our Infinite MultiVerse as a Collective of Divine Grace.

May we educate ourselves and our children as beings of Love Inspired.

May we choose to live in Peace, share food and material riches with All and re-member that we are responsible for eachother.

May we lift ourselves up into the Understanding of the Heaven Realm and Nurture eachother as ONE in Love.

May we use our creative selves to explore, teach and learn from each other; as we embrace our ability to Believe in the Unseen, to Live in Truth and Do No Harm. 

May we speak and dance the dance of a vivid Joyous Peace in our hearts and manifested from the womb of Our Mother Earth=Heart.

May we blossom as flowers in the springtime and lift our vision as we are given the Courage to learn from the maple, oak, evergreen, coconut, the jasmine or the baobab tree.

May we Listen to the fireflies in the silence of the night and with gratitude, embrace the Wisdom of the moon and the stars.

May we commit to climb the mountains of Faith & Hope that stand before us.

May we embrace our individual and collective Greatness as we honor our Ancestors  and open our hearts to the Infinite Grace of Our Universal Spirit.

May We Awaken in Love, Knowing We Are a Part of the Infinite UniVerse.

We Believe.  We Breathe.  We Pray. 

We Live. We Love.

Always, Melony 💕🦋💕
