The Courage To Carry The Flame Of Freedom

Do you have the courage to carry The Flame Of Freedom? It is time for Unity. A time for the damaged hearts and minds of people who would do or cause harm – to stop.  The fires of change have been lit.  Many people now carry The Flame Of Freedom in their hearts and minds.  Change is spreading quickly around the world.  Peace will become a predominant force that pushes at the borders of fear.

The human heart holds a space for miraculous things.  The heart is a doorway to the unbroken soul that can swing wide open when given the right direction.  Our future can be built on solid principles of truth, integrity, honor, courage, love, right action and anything that is a positive for the human race.  These qualities are of no small consequence.  This world is intended to shine as the true diamond it is.  There is light and brilliance under the surface of the darkness that many see in the world.

I intend to walk a smooth journey full of joy and happiness.  What is your intention?  Will you live a courageous life or one of fear? You will have to choose, for no one else can do it for you. Fear is not and never has been the answer.  We just forgot where our power is.  We each have a unique gift.  To wake up and remember who we really are.  We really aren’t broken, but we have been through tremendous pain and suffering as a planet.

Each and every person will have to turn the key to the doorway to freedom and peace by their own hand.  Everyone will choose a different time for this.  As this happens you will see changes everywhere and the momentum is building.  People are tired of being lied to and not feeling safe in a world that was meant to be a place of beautiful perfection. Changes are coming and they are coming very quickly. Let your inner peace, light and love translate to the outer world.  We really can live in a symphony of perfection.  Maybe not tomorrow, but soon.  A new dawn is here for all those who have The Courage To Carry The Flame Of Freedom.

Use Courage Often On Your Life’s Journey

In cleaning out my storage unit, which took enormous courage by the way! I found these words by an unknown author.  I find the “unknown” writings are some of the most powerful.

“If, as Herod, we fill our lives with things, and again with things; if we consider ourselves so unimportant that we must fill very moment of our lives with action, when will we have the time to make the long, slow journey across the desert as did the Magi? Or sit and watch the stars as did the shepherds?  Or contemplate the coming of the child as did Mary?  For each one of us, there is a desert to travel.  A star to discover.  And a being within ourselves to bring to life.”

It takes courage to be still – to listen.  The moments our wisdom whispers to us are when we become still enough to listen to the secrets of the breeze between heart and mind.  This life is a journey for each and every one of us.  Where will your journey take you?  Where will you take your journey?

I send you love and a very light path to guide you on your life’s journey.

Do You Have The Courage To Hear The Song?

I was laying in bed this morning in a state of stillness and peace.  I noticed sounds all around me.  I could hear cars on Pacific Coast Highway whizzing by. Von’s Pavilion is just below my house, which means I hear car doors opening and closing, cars coming and going, shopping carts being moved around, and people talking.  I heard the crows outside in the tree squawking . I was really wishing for silence. And then it happened.

The most beautiful song from a bird outside my window caught my attention.  I listened very intently.  Do you know what happened?  All the other sounds drowned out and I heard only this one bird.  It was as if all the other sounds dissappeared.

They call that power of attention.  It is simple really.  I lay there thinking about the the sounds I did not want to hear at that moment and the one that I wanted to hear.  What we place our attention on becomes predominant in our lives.  We can drown out the things in our lives we don’t want.  We get to choose.  I know we are all powerful creators, but daily life can drag many people down.  Many changes are occuring in the world. They must occur for the shifts this planet needs.  How do we get throught them?  We hear the bird singing, we stay focused on what is important in our lives and we come back to Love.  That is where all things heal.  I send you love in your life’s journey – please take the time to pay it forward.  You will find that what you give out will return to you.  Where is your attention?  Keep it on the good things.  Be kind and loving to others and it will be returned to you.
