Ass, I am.

We all have eyes, ears, and so many different senses. As much as we hate to admit it, we have so many biases, and prejudices that sit in a pretty nice size apartment in our brains. When we look at someone, we can automatically assume things. Sometimes we go by our mere intuition, and we are point on. Sometimes we go by our own fear and prejudices, and we look like an "ass." Yes, a complete "ass." Someone may walk down the street with a bigger body frame than someone else, and we may automatically assume, "Oh, they must eat a lot." Or, we see someone who may have a certain "swag", and we assume, they must be...Again, sometimes we may be completely spot on. Intuition can tell you a lot. However, a few years ago, I would have placed everyone in my big box of dichotomy and slapped a big bow on the box.

Ten years later however, my world is changing. Just like the world, we are constantly evolving. I have a strong sense that even though there is a lot of friction coming to the surface now, everything from many discussions about sexuality, to more in depth and honest discussion about prejudices and open biases. We are finally facing ourselves. That is one of the most difficult discoveries ever.

As I mentioned in previous posts, I can observe myself. Years ago, I probably would have said, "I would never". Ten years later, I look back and say, I've lied to myself more than a few times. As much as I like to get in on a good conversation, I have to ask myself, the tough questions. Do I participate in the same prejudices I can get angry over? Do I have biases, prejudices, or a judgmental nature? What I may assume or not like about someone else, can easily be a mirror, of what I am reflecting about myself. 

The same things you wonder or assume about someone else, may reflect back to you. One of the toughest things I have done in my life is to examine myself. O boy, what a mess I discovered but I think I may be on my way to the best place I can be, truth. Well, until next time,

Sunshine Focus..

As I wake up every morning, there is a magical ray of light that hits my face. During the summer, this happens almost every day. An automatic reoccurrence of this great event. As I am sometimes deep in my romantic dreams, this 

Light hits my face and I awaken. How beautiful to know that the sun will shine for me no matter what is going on with everything else. This light never says, "I don't feel like it, or you made me angry today so no light for you. I can say, I had nothing to do with it. This remarkable light just comes, beams it's light, and shines away. How magnificent! This one thing, I am grateful for, every morning. This one simple thing that as we go through life, we sometimes forget. The simple things of life are truly extraordinary. When I look at its light, I smile because I can see I have one more opportunity to say "thank you". When I am upset about something down here on Earth, I just imagine myself up high in the sky as the sun and say, "I am going to eventually shine my light once again". The sun"s light is so beautiful, and if we could only see how beautiful our light could be, we would probably stop sweating the small stuff.

Love nature, take care of her. She is there for us, no matter what. She doesn't sweat the small stuff, she shines anyway. Why can"t we? Until next time, 

Peace,

Intuitive Eyes, What do you see?

Ever have a feeling about something and then you find out it is true sometime later? When
intuition comes, the caution sign shows up. Should you yield, stop, take a right turn, or just go with it? Your intuitive guide  wants to help you. Her intent is to never harm you. Your intuitive guide is there for a reason. What do I do? Let her speak. She will tell you.

If there is something you want out of life for the best part of you to come alive, do it. If it is time to go after something you know is good for you, go get it. If something doesn't feel right, be aware of it. It's  okay. Someone else's lens may not fit your vision. When you can feel the intuitive guide, it is the best thing you can do for yourself. Listening may save you from heartbreak. Whatever you do to others, comes back around in some form or another. These are some of the small lessons I've had to learn on this road called life. Many more experiences and lessons to learn. Smiling at the experience. Well until next time,

Peace,
