In this episode, I discuss critical building blocks to aligning with compassion, a virtuous seed all of us have. Every day, we have opportunities to look beyond our experiences and create the world we want to have from the inside out. The more we react to pain in an unhealthy way, the more experiences with pain we have. In other words, we can break the cycle of pain through compassion.

When we identify with our experiences, we are unstable and are tossed to and fro. Our emotions can lead us to tumultuous detours with more of the same experiences we are trying to escape. The more grounded we are in our truth, the less we become disturbed by others' actions. Spend time today asking yourself, Who am I Really?

Peace comes not only with meditation but with the realization of who you are.

As always, make this lifetime great because you still can!

We must remember that nothing happens overnight, especially bullying-type behavior. Unfortunately, people who hurt, sometimes hurt others, consciously and unconsciously. We must shed light on dark places and be willing to converse with the people involved. One life taken is too many. One life spared helps many. You can break the cycle of pain and create a generational love cycle. Believe and Achieve.

In this episode, I share how presence can create a generational love cycle. Within every experience is information. How we interpret that information will be critical in our daily presence. Living in the past continues the cycle of pain, whereas presence helps us to intervene early and appropriately.

I hope all is well with you and yours! Yesterday, a friend called me. She wanted to tell me two things. She informed me that her family would be in town next month, and the other shocking news she told me was that someone had kidnapped a girl. Thankfully, they found the girl. But, still, you are left thinking the kidnapping of children is still happening. So, what do you do?

Do we live in fear or become empowered to make a difference, speak with our children, listen to them, and guide them to make the best decisions?

In this episode, What Do You Do When You Hear of Another Kidnapping, I discuss how you can use a potentially traumatic experience to empower yourself and your child.

Our overall health and being in this world depends on our relationship with our Creator, the Source of life and living. This Higher Intuitive Energy is not limited to a book, building, religion, or anything else. What matters most is what we believe about this Energy, for out of it, we find ourselves and the true meaning of our lives. Our Creator wants a personal experience with everyone. The more you draw to it, the more it draws to you and reminds you that you are loved, loving, and can express love.

As always, make this lifetime great because you still can!

What does commitment mean to you? What are you committed to (e.g., love, acceptance, truth, understanding or fear, rejection, illusions, judgment, and others)? How are you showing your commitment to yourself and others? 

The world has so many distractions, and it’s easy to get caught up in what others are doing. All of us are here for divine reasons, and we must start with the understanding that our lives serve as a commitment to love. Let’s commit to:

The seeds we plant become the harvest that feeds us and surrounds us. 

Many stigmas still surround speaking up or advocating for yourself. Some people fear speaking up for themselves for fear of punishment (losing their job, people not liking them or being ostracized, being called a tattletale or other names, or being yelled out or physically punished). There are healthy ways of expressing ourselves, but when we imprison others to believe their emotions, feelings, and words don’t matter, some look for other means to express themselves. Unfortunately, we’ve seen it in teenage suicide, homicides, and violence in many forms. Abuse and neglect of others continue because they are told they will be punished, or someone they love will be punished if they speak the truth.

Speaking your truth builds confidence and self-esteem and encourages you to be more of your true self. When we release things that are hurting us in a healthy way, we enable healing and the child within us to express itself in wonderful ways. I’ve learned that we often gain respect when we stand firm in our beliefs, act from purified intentions, and express unwavering honesty.

We must listen with our hearts and put our pride aside. We must hear beyond the words and act earnestly to address concerns to prevent many of the preventable issues we have in the world.

How are you speaking up for yourself? How do you advocate for those you love so they don’t need external bandages to cover their pain? Remember, with learning, there is no guilt. We strive to improve each day, aligning with our divine spirit.

As always, make this lifetime great!

Daily, we are to clean our bodies, minds, energies, and spirits. Every day, people plant seeds. We must keep the seeds that promote health instead of dis ease. In this episode, I share the practical definition of cleanliness and what it means to me spiritually.

We treat ourselves and others based on what we believe about ourselves, not what we believe about them because if our belief about ourselves is right, then our thoughts about others are right. If we believe that our Creator made all of us in its image, then acceptance, love, forgiveness, and the like become more and more how we express ourselves. We don't allow our emotions and feelings to control us, for we know they can't control us. Instead of pulling others down or interfering with their life work, we help them. Instead of yelling at someone because they didn't make the best choice, we have compassion. Instead of judging people based on their cultural, social, and physical characteristics, we take delight because our Creator is all those things and more. When our thoughts about our image are right, our actions align with the Character that made us. We don't identify with unstable terminology because we are blown to and fro when the storms come.

We are more than human beings; we are spiritual entities. When we see our truth, we see others' truth.

As always, make this lifetime great because you still can!
