From Paradise to Paradise in Paradise

We left the Paradise of Hawaii to return to the Paradise of Southern CA. to be in the Paradise of our home in Garden Grove.  This morning instead of gazing on the beauty of the sea from our balcony in Kona we gazed at our own Hibiscus trees and Plumeria plants in our back yard.

After a grueling day of travel in which once again Hawaiian Airlines did their usual outstanding  job we arrived back at LAX where we took a shuttle to the Marriott to retrieve the Mariner from the long term parking for only $62.50 of which we had prepaid $ 9.50. 

Of course we arrived during the five o’clock rush hour of stop and go traffic during a time of which I was extremely grateful that Sandy was driving.  Our usual forty to forty-five minute trip took just about an hour and a half after which we stopped at Del Taco on Beach road for bean and cheese burritos with green sauce to go which we devoured once arriving home and saying hi to our pups and Sandy’s friend Michelle who had watched the house and the pups while we were gone.

Cannot tell you how good it felt to sleep in our own bed last night.

Once again I feel so blessed as I do most of the time now however I feel it almost continually in my life as I discover that the more I feel blessed the more I am blessed.

The more I feel like I am in paradise the more paradise I see to be in.

We must truly believe it before we can ever see it.

Life truly is an idea in the mind of the beholder.  Whatever idea of life we have is what we shall experience in our life.  There is a direct connection between what we think and what we live.

Think, be, act positive see positive things in our life.

Think, be, act negative see negative things in our life for it really is our choice of what we experience.

Even when things that appear negative happen to us as long as we see and handle them in a positive manner then they will turn out to be positive.

Even if we just make the attempt to find the positive in a situation we will find it for it is a proven in Quantum physics that what one looks for one finds.

I find that when I look for love I find it but more important when I give love it returns to me especially when given with no expectations.

Paradise is where we find it.  Look for the positive and we will find it as also when we look for the negative we can find that also.

Want to make that relationship better look for all of the positive things about your partner not the things that irritate.  Life truly is about finding what we look for also about giving it forward.  Give today so tomorrow will be better for all as I am giving the thought of how much I love and believe in YOU.

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how they felt when they left you.

“Faith,” he said, “is the ability to see the invisible
and believe in the incredible and that is what enables
believers to receive what the masses think is
impossible.”

“Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre
minds.”

I am not as good as I should be,
I am not as good as I could be.
But THANK GOD
I am better than I used to be!

Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really
are.

Report from Paradise

Sitting here looking out our balcony door at the Ocean view over the tops of some of the most exotic foliage one can possibly imagine how can I not feel like I am in paradise?

We explored more of the island yesterday, however we did not go to Volcano park as originally planned as our host told us that if we have any breathing problems to be cautious going there so since Sandy does have somewhat of a breath problem we went to the beach instead.

We found an off the trail beautiful black sand beach with mostly Hawaiians  enjoying it with only a few mainlanders. 

I found a pair of beach shoes and we snagged a couple of angus burgers off of the refreshment tent and called it lunch.

One thing this has not been an epicurean holiday like our breakfast today was scrambled eggs with cheese, zucchini, potatoes, bell peppers, onions a smattering of cabbage all of which was left over from our dinner of Kielbasa, cabbage and potatoes which as wonderful.

On our way back to the cottage last night we stopped at a small pie and coffee shop where Sandy had her Kona coffee and a real coconut cream pie and mine was a Kona Lime pie as we set on the lani   overlooking the ocean as most things are here.

Earlier we had driven past the Outrigger hotel and down along some of the most beautiful coastal areas imaginable where there were many signs against the development of the area.  We drove around among some beautiful million dollar homes where along the highway we saw mainly some of the lessor privileged homes.

We stopped at a historic park for a tour but it was closed for a wedding with the folks arriving as we are departing.

It is so hard to describe this place as it is so beautiful and I still have not fixed my computer so I can import my pictures as it still says cannot find path specified.  So frustrating that I have to breath deeply and give thanks that I have them will work it out when we get back.

So here is a shot taken from Wayne and Jo’s ad on:

The cottage was built in 2003 and is located on our 4 acre coffee estate. Papa Bay is located 40 miles South of the Kona International Airport. You can pick your own papaya, pineapples, bananas and a variety of other fruits that are in season. This is a country setting with turkeys and pheasants almost always seen on the property. You will be greeted by the sounds of the roosters and turkeys early each morning and hear nothing but the sounds of the wild birds and my chickens during the day and crickets and frogs at night. You will definitely appreciate the privacy, security and serenity of this retreat setting. Secluded black sand beach just next door in Milolii.

So there you see a little of what we see every day. 

I was telling Sandy yesterday that not a lot awe’s me but I have been in Awe since landing at the Airport last Wednesday  and yes, with very little encouragement I could live here.

The Spiritual power that is in the air everywhere is so strong that one as sensitive as I am is a constant state of gratitude for the feelings I have.  Especially now as I type this with Elvis in the background singing How Great Thou Art.

I am covered in goosebumps from head to top as I remember and know how much I love and believe in YOU.

Day three Hawaii honeymoon

Awaken a little while ago attempted to restore computer system to a point that I could download my photos as at this time it is saying cannot find path specified and am unable to down load my photos and clear my memory card or have my photos available.  Am frustrated with computer and bride is frustrated with me for I am obsessing on challenge.

Anyway yesterday could be called a disaster in a way for although we spent a quiet relaxing morning recovering from the brutal travel day the afternoon was spent exploring and looking for Wal Mart to buy another memory card.  We literally spent over an hour driving past it at least a half a dozen times prior to finally seeing it.  We did see a bit of the place we probably would not have seen and to people that were not as positive as we are it could have been a total disaster though with my and my brides fantastic attitudes we saw it as an adventure. 

Although my bride is seeing herself as a computer widow at times she is now up and moving around. We shall have breakfast in a little while here in paradise.

It is amazing what we have seen here in Hawaii, Denny’s, Safeway, Wal Mart, although Hilo Hatties is on the schedule probably Saturday.

Our cottage is on a small coffee farm about forty miles from the airport or anywhere else for that matter.  It is quiet (until Sandy turned on the coffee grinder) and private.  Our patio is overlooking the pacific as is half of our windows so the first thing we see is the beautiful blue of the Pacific Ocean.  As we look out over the coffee trees, hibiscus, Plumeria and various other beautiful trees and flower we relax to our breakfast of oatmeal and toast.

We have a delightful little dodge rental car that we scoot around in with gas at $ 3.86 cents a gallon. 

The weather is awesome at 9:30 am Hawaii time, blue skies and water with a gentle breeze coming off of the water.

Our host and I are very much in sync as he is a Mason with many of the same esoteric beliefs as I Have.  I am looking forward to getting him on the pool table as I haven’t played in years but love the game.

Well so much for the honeymoon report as my bride is up and bustling around with breakfast soon to come.  I cooked scrambled eggs yesterday today I believe it is oatmeal on the menu.

Well as always know that I love and believe in YOU.

Leaving for Hawaii tomorrow 8 / 2 5 /2010

Excitement, last minute appointments, cleaning the house so we do not come back to a mess, packing bags, last minute this, last minute that for things to prepare for the trip.  Will my money get here in time?

Where did I put that electronic ticket print out?  What time is Sandy picking me up for her doctor’s appointment?

Then I remember in the mist of all things there is peace if only we will pause and allow it to come in to us.

Our choice as always is to be harried or to be peaceful. 

The beautiful thing is that the moment of enlightenment is when we discover there is such a thing as enlightenment then we move into it and allow it to envelope us as we absorb the beauty of it for once enlightenment comes it never goes.

We may not move in it and with it, however it is always available to us.

Peace is an individual thing and it begins with in each person.  For there to be peace in the world means there must be peace with in the individual.

There can be no peace for those that rant and rave about peace for they are not at peace and can not bring peace until they become peace.

An angry person does not bring peace.  It always amazes me to watch a ‘peace rally’ for there is no peace to be found there.

I choose peace now and forever more.  If anyone has a problem with me then that is their problem and none of mine for I am not responsible for how another feels that is for them to resolve.  It is for me to live my life in such a way as to inspire not anger others.

Peace is the way for when we are at peace we bring it to all of those around us for how do you argue with one that refuses to argue with you and will only give you love and peace.

When I leave the house with a smile on my face then all I meet have smiles for me, however when I leave the house with no smile I find no smiles waiting for me.

It all begins with us everything for as each individual finds peace then it spreads like a wild fire faster than can be imagined.

Watch a crowd when a few people begin acting up then before we know it the crowd becomes a mob and mob mentality rules.

Watch a crowd in prayer or meditation  as the peace begins to fall and spread through it.  What a wonderful feeling.

Just writing about peace brings me into a most peaceful state of mind.  It is almost a meditative state as my fingers seem to move by themselves with me giving no conscious instructions as they bring Spirit’s message to us all.

Being a messenger is a wonderful thing and my message to one and all is that we are all much greater than we think we are always.

So, my next message should be from Hawaii or the Airplane in the morning but more than likely tomorrow afternoon once we get settled in our bungalow cottage on the Kona coffee farm.

Remember I love and believe in YOU
People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how they felt when they left you.

HAWAII

Busy, busy, busy. There is so much to do with our Hawaiian vacation which is the second part of our Honey Moon only eight days away rapidly approaching.   Soaking the lawn and flowers so even if it is hot, hot, hot they will survive until we return.  

Arranging bill payments, putting together spending money for the trip as it is the end of the month and by that time my monthly check is usually history oh well just being there and taking the pictures and seeing my lady relaxing and enjoying herself will be my reward.

For those of you that do not believe in letting go and letting God remember this time last year I was sitting in my itsy, bitsy apartment surrounded by my thousands of books still doing my forgiveness work while working on making me a better person as at the same time I was saying God I can live this way the rest of my life, although I would rather have someone to share it with.  Then with thoughts of good for all and harm to none I would release it into the Universe as I would begin to give thanks for it being fulfilled.

Also during that time I joined an online Singles group, Singlesnet.com, placed my profile with a challenge that I was worth finding if someone was interested in looking also with clues as to how to find me and my website.

After a few months of meeting two or three at various places and not really any chemistry or getting out of the vehicle a hundred miles from home and calling my son to pick me up which is another story and not worth the time really to tell I met a lady on line whose sister was in the final stages of cancer and I corresponded with her as she went through this.

Then a little time after her sisters transition we met not too far from my abode which probably five or six weeks after she first found me and tracked me down after reading my entire blog and website.

During that entire time I did all I could to discourage her telling her my horror stories and my worse sides with all of my this and my that and still she persisted.

She lived in an area about twenty some miles from me or three buses and I would take those and spend a few days with her then she would bring me home until finally we both got tire of my leaving and the dogs wanted me to stay also as they enjoyed me home while mom was at work so we began planning our commitment ceremony.

It took place about six months after we first began our communication and here we are.

Gee really have no idea how I got side tracked like that anyway now we are taking our second halve of our honeymoon while the first half was just going to the mountains for a week of relaxing in our huge Lance camper on our little ford 550.

Back to getting ready to leaving, finding someone to stay here with Missy and Trouble while we are gone, planning what to take as we are staying in a cottage on a coffee plantation in Kona on the big island.  Since there is wifi I can send you all pictures and updates although I don’t dare stay too long on the computer.

Going between Church times so that we will be back for our next lessons as we are taking another ordination course  this time with the Spiritualist Church.

Looking forward to returning to Hawaii and if anyone would happen to have any extra dollars that would like for me to leave in Hawaii just send it to my Paypal account wissac3rd@aol.com all is gratefully accept as I send up my love and believe in you from beautiful Hawaii.

ALOHA

Will you be healed?

Prior to Jesus doing any healings it is written that this is what he asked.  The reason for this, I believe is the same now as it was then in that there are many people that were they healed would lose much of what they have now.

Not only would they lose the pain, but the attention or benefits they receive from their illness or condition.

Many people are so starved for attention that they use illness or some drama to focus attention on themselves.

It all goes back to choice.  Do we choose to be healed and move forward in life whether it is illness or grief?

Grief is a story all of its own no matter if it is losing someone through death or divorce possibly a job, position or even a career.

A Friend of mine that I haven’t heard from in years once said ‘When one goes through the valley of the shadow of death not to build a condominium there’.

I see this often in counseling others and also experienced it my own self not too long ago.

We get mired in our own negativity and can’t see our way out not because it isn’t there but because we aren’t looking and do not want a way out.

As the little boy whose father couldn’t find him in their new farm found out after finding the boy in the barn busily digging away at all of the horse manure in the barn was heard to say ‘With this much s**t there must be a pony under here somewhere.

Yes when it is coming at us fast and furious that is when we stand firm and after standing firm we stand even longer.  Then when it slows down to where we can take positive action we do so with a smile on our face or in our heart and move on.

In the case of someone leaving, remember they are moving on and we must also for trust me they are not thinking of our well being at all only their own.

Remember also that in someone leaving the thing for us to do is to work on being the best we can be so that in the future they stop and say ‘we let them get away?’

Laugh and the world laughs with us.  Cry and we cry alone. 

The world loves a winner so the thing is to remember that if we are breathing we are a WINNER.

We are never beaten until we fall and fail to get up.  Get up even if it means being knocked down again later.  Stay down until we get our breath and strength back then stand up and move on. Sometimes we have to do it even when we are so weak we do not know where our next step or breath or possibly meal is coming from.  We just CHOOSE to DO it.

If they are not wise enough to see our value then they are not worth our wasting our time on.

Give thanks for the lessons received. Appreciate them for being in our life. Be grateful that we are able to move on.

Life is all about choices.  Choosing to remain stuck or moving on. 

When I feel stuck I ask my guides and angels for direction and guidance then I resume my daily functions or as L. A. Lakers Coach Phil Jackson says when all else fails go back to basics.  Since he is the greatest coach to ever coach in many people’s opinion of which I agree this is something I also do.

When In doubt about what to do in life I just get up, take my shower, brush my teeth, dress and eat then do what I know to do until the next step is shown me.

Well that is it for another day.

Remember stuck or not I love and believe in YOU.

If this strikes home then share it with someone else

 

Again the Attitude

Yes, yes, yes I know that you hear this from me all of the time however, today Sandy sent me a newsletter from David Boufford, aka; Mr. Positive!  Professional Encourager.  I have even subscribed to his newsletter today for even positive people need to fill their well from time to time.  Attitude is really as he says 99 percent of life while what happens to us is 1 percentfor while we may not be able to control what happens to us we can control the way we handle it.  When we remember that it is we, ourselves that control our attitude we can do anything we choose to.  We do not even have to know how to do it just tell the Universe where you want to go or what you want to do or whatever then every day do something to reinforce your goal.  It may be researching more about our dream or goal or maybe putting a new picture or description of the way you see it on our goal board or book.  It may even be just sitting in our chair or even as we drive that we send up a thank you prayer for Spiritual assistance with our goal while we keep our goal on the forefront of our mind.  Spirit will do the work as we do our part preparing the ground for our dream.  This is going to be short today for the only thing I want any of us to remember is that if we can conceive it we can achieve it.  Attitude is everything.  Think you can or think you can’t you are right either way for it is to us as the scriptures state ‘As one believes in their heart so are they.  So today what do you believe?  I believe and know that I love and believe in each and everyone out there.

A few things to think about

There was a time in my life that I waited for the next shoe to drop or the next bad thing to happen.  It went something like this ‘well that is the second thing to happen and we all know bad things come in threes so what is next.’

A fact of life or universal principle if you will states that as we believe in our hearts so it is.

We may speak one thing with our mouth but if in our hearts or if you will our sub-conscious then the thing believed in our hearts will win out.

Can we change overnight, yes actually we can.  However as seeds planted in a garden the things we have already planted will sprout with the good news being they will not be nearly as bad as they might have been if we had not changed our thoughts.

The secret if one chooses to call it as such is to begin giving thanks and being grateful for all that has occurred, is occurring and will occur.

Yes, that is right gratitude and thankfulness for all that has gone before and all that is happening now and will happen no matter what it is or has been or will be.

Another thing as we pray for those things we want as we do and will begin adding or something better with harm to none and good to all as we finish our prayer.

Allow the Universe to be good to us and as we allow it so it will begin to appear in our lives.  Good better than anything we asked for and better than anything that has gone before.

Remember we are only ‘stuck’ in any situation or circumstance for the simple reason we did not choose to remove ourselves from it and allowed it to continue.

As we think, speak and act so it is done unto us and as we treat ourselves so do others treat us.

Also as we treat others so will it be done unto us in the end.

Give a smile and watch it come back as will a frown if it is given.

We are the center of our universe and the diplomats of our world.  For years now my son has told me to have a nice day in your world, Dad.

This is from a young man that is so grounded and level headed he amazes me all of the time as does his sister.

One thing I have always given them was my love and support  and belief in them even as I do each of your every day.

Through all of the things I took them through they still love me and give me their total love and support. 

I am blessed among men for now there is a lady in my life that allows me to love her and that returns that love as I have never had it shown or returned.

The world appears to be in a financial crisis which is amazing for there is as much opportunity now as there ever has been if not more. 

Those that maintain that positive I can attitude will soar as never before while those that believe the media will crash and burn.

Being from Texas we learned at an early age believe nothing of what we hear and only half of what we see.

That has been proven to me over and over again.

Life never has to be taken on faith only belief.  We will see it when we believe it no matter what it may be.

For now just believe and know that I love and believe in you.

Attitude 2010

I have for most of my life heard that attitude determines  our altitude which I always thought was a nice catchy phrases until I got into metaphysics which states that where our attention goes our energy goes.  This is also part of the law of Attraction that where we place our attention is what we draw to us. 

Positive thoughts equal positive energy equal positive lives while negative thoughts equal negative energy equal negative lives.

The way we look at lifedetermines the outcome of our life.  In 2006 some very negative things happen to me which I reactive to very negatively.  A very special person in my life at that time kept telling me to look for the positive in it all.  I could not see anything positive for all I could see was the end of my life as I knew it.

In the end that was the positive, ending my life as I knew it and moving on BUT until I was ready to accept that the end was the end was the beginning I was unable to move on.

It took me letting go of what I thought I had and realizing there was nothing positive in my life and had not been for many years that I was finally able to move on.

It all had to start with my state of mind or my attitude.

I had to rebuild what I had perceived as my loss of self-esteem and self confidence to discover the real deep hidden strength of who I actually was.

It also showed me who my friends were and weren’t.  Periods like this are so good when we look back for the lessons we can see however while we are going through them it is diffidently dark times however crops cannot grow without the rain.

WE actually do little or no growing while times or good for it is only in the dark trying times that we grow and our character is built and defined.

The good thing about the good times or they feel so very good and gives us a chance to catch our breath.

Sandy and I were talking the other day and being such a good woman she has had so many tragedies in the last few years.

Finally the Universe revealed to me that it was a system of balance that where there were sorrow there were always equal joys for the Universe will always balance itself.  If we are hurting today we can be sure that in the very near future we will see an equal amount of happiness.

There is a saying I live by “that this too shall pass” and it does and will.  Just give it time while remembering as we think so it is.

Think it is good and it is.  Think it is bad and so it is.

I prefer to see nothing as good or bad things just are.  As I say life is all belief and perception for as we believe and perceive it to be so it is.

That is why I love to love and believe in all of you for as I do I believe in myself.

Giving

One of the pleasures of my life is giving.  It is hard for me to pass a homeless person and not give them something. 

Some say I shouldn’t give to them as I am merely enabling them to live their lifestyle while I say once I give to them I have no control over what they use it for as it is theirs at that time.

Giving I believe is what has enabled me to survive what I have in life.  

Giving is also what I believe has allowed our country to survive.

Giving is also one of the secrets of success not just surviving for as we give so do we receive.

Also it is giving without the thought of receiving that counts for if we give to receive then more than likely we will not receive.

Giving without fanfare is also necessary for if we give with fanfare then that will be our blessing that others know of our generosity however if we give silently then we shall be blessed with those things we have asked for not just our needs for those will always be given us.

Our giving brings forth our desires those things that make life more comfortable and pleasurable.

Giving with joy in our hearts and thanksgiving that we can brings the blessings.   Also every time we pay our bills and do it with joy, thanksgiving and thankfulness enables that money also to return to us multiplied.

When we begin to live all of our life with joy, thanksgiving and thankfulness we open up the windows of heaven to pour out upon us.

Just putting a smile on our face allows things to begin to flow our way.  We are happy because we laugh we do not laugh because we are happy.  Sometimes when one is down if they will just put a smile on and just laugh at the situation it is amazing how much better we feel.  When we are down to just consciously raise our vibration to a higher level will allow us to feel so much better.

Giving to me is one of the best blessings we can do ourselves or to others.

Maybe we haven’t the funds at this time to give but we all have a smile to give to another or lift a prayer for others.

Giving is a miracle of life for it allows us to do for others for as we do to and for others is done unto us.

Now I still have twenty or so boxes still to go through so there are still things for me to give and I am looking forward to it.

If one is at a point in their life where they feel stuck then they begin giving it is so amazing how we become unstuck.

Giving is truly one of the keys to the kingdom to unlock the life we would like to have.  Begin right now to give and a small secret is to not forget to give to ourselves.

Yes it is ok to give to ourselves for we are worthy of our gifts.  That is a whole blog in itself so just for now give to ourselves and give the best we possibly can.

So in the Spirit of Giving I give to all my love and belief in you.

Honeymooning in the Mountains

Well here we are the deed has been done with the ring on the finger the parties over the guests are gone with the house all straight and clean again.

We are about 65 miles from home at Mountain Lakes Resorts, a private campground in the mountains just below the Cajon Pass in the Lytle Creek community with three fishing lakes a large pool two hot tubs and a loaf of bread is $ 4.21 cents.  The Mountains are tall and beautiful which the trees and all are green and lovely.  Stars at night with the sound of the wind and the birds.

Well no one had told me there was a little store outside the gate about a mile or two where the bread was a dollar forty cents.

Out first whole day here after arriving on Monday for we were way to pooped to come up on Sunday after spending our Commitment night in a Beautiful room at the Hyatt looking out on the Pacific Ocean.

When we walked into the room it was covered in Rose Petals leading to the rose covered bed and the Champagne with the chocolate covered strawberries .  Umm good.

All of this furnished by Sandy’s girl friends as their present to us.

Her friends and family were there with my friends and family all told around seventy three people were there to assist us in celebrating our commitment celebration.

When we arrived here Monday and got our Huge Lance Camper which is on our Ford five fifty set up it seemed nothing was working.

No Air Conditioning, or TV and could not hook up to the wireless.

Well we finally on Tuesday got hold of the Lance dealer in Ontario, CA a few miles away or maybe a thirty minute drive who then talked us through the AC but no luck with our Satellite TV or even the parks cable TV.  I believe the trees are covering us to the extent no signal can come into our dish receiver.  Next time have to choose our parking spot more carefully.

Finally we went to the clubhouse and got on the internet there to check the email nothing personal in the 185 emails as I had not checked it since Saturday morning.

Finally requested the park ranger come down to set up our TV and come to find out the lockout had not been removed after we paid for it.

Well it is Wednesday and six books later I am out of reading material as soon as I finish the JA Jance I am currently reading and should finish in an hour or so as we cruise back to the Clubhouse to find another book from their small library of books.

My Bride is happy and contented to be on vacation with another week to go.  Hopefully, this will convince her to retire sooner which I am sure she will if we can find a way to continue her medical.

Oh by the way if any of you are in need of Life Insurance or have a small group that requires medical insurance contact me and I will get Sandy to get in touch with you and go over what you have to upgrade, streamline or sign you up.  She is wonderful and has the new laws under control.  She is awesome at her job.  Help us to help you.

Life is good as we relax for this is the first vacation for me since about 2000.  Sandy really needed it also as she is in a high stress career especially with all of the changes in the Health field happening at this time.

My life is fairly mellow now that the ceremony is over for mostly I read, study, and write, relax and walk once in a while now that I am driving again.  Also, I am gardening now with my plants and yard word to keep me occupied in my retirement with an occasional talk as I am doing this Sunday the fourth of July at three o’clock for the El Segundo Eternal Light Center of Hope which meets at the Masonic Lodge in El Segundo of which I am an assistant pastor

My topic for the day is the Law of Return and the Gift of Receiving along with being grateful for this wonderful country of ours.

You are all invited to join us on this wonderful day of celebration as you remember and know that I love and believe in YOU.

The law of Return and the Gift of Receiving
Hi there since I have been gone for so long with the flu and all of the preparations  for the commitment ceremony and will be gone all next week on the honeymoon I would give a double shot on a couple things I have been thinking about.The first is the law of Return or as you give so do you receive.  I know so many folks that want to sit back and receive yet they have done nothing to warrant a return.So many folks want something for nothing and most times that is exactly what they receive is nothing and they moan and groan about not receiving.  Well to my way of thinking they received exactly what they deserved.I spent several years planting in the Spiritual world and just giving of my time with my website and my prayers for others peace and prosperity that it was only natural that what I put out would be returned to me as it is now.Now that I have sown and the law of Return is working it is now my turn to receive with gratitude, and thankfulness.The thing about receiving is that if you refuse when someone offers a gift and it matters not what the gift may be for when you refuse it you have refuse to allow someone to receive the blessing that gift brings with it.  Not only that by refusing one has in effect close a channel of blessing and prosperity for seldom with one offer again after being refused once.Close enough of those channels and we become the Dead Sea.  Nothing coming in and nothing going out.For as we give so do we receive.  When we stop giving we stop receiving and if we aren’t receiving actually we are dying.I see a lot of dead people walking around maybe even one of two of them here.Being a receiver is nothing the same as being a taker.  A taker takes without the thought of giving just taking, taking, and taking.I love to give for I have found that there is no out giving the Universe for the more I give the more the Universe gives back.  The more I give to my loved ones the more they give me and I love receiving.  As one of my favorite philosophers once said “Tis better to give than receive…so give”,  Oh yes that was the Frito Bandito that said that way back in the fifties or sixties I think it was,So the law of return and the gift of receiving go hand in hand for if we wish to receive we must first give and as the law of return is that as we give so do we receive.I gave the gift of Love and Belief to all of you and now I am receiving it from one special lady for whom I am so grateful and thankful. I still give my gift of Love and Belief to all of you.

My Apologies

I have not forgotten you however with getting ready for the Commitment Ceremony on the 26^th, getting the yard in shape, emptying out and organizing the eighty boxes of books, things and stuff time has been nonexistent for things I would normally be doing, like writing my blog.

 I miss doing this for I love to communicate my ideas and feelings as I receive new thoughts and expand on those I have had for a while.

I enjoy looking at my beliefs while I see if they are helping me or hindering me.  If they are helping me then I see if I can refine and better them.  If, however they appear to be hindering me then I look to see if I am actually following them correctly and if I am why are they not working so I can either refine them or eliminate them.

Sometimes I am shown a better way to accomplish something so I will begin to use it instead of what I was doing.

I choose to always be moving upward in my growth cycle for as long as I am growing I am living for when I stop growing then I am dying and I enjoy being here and have too much too live for.

Live is wonderful however I have to remember it is only as wonderful as we believe it to be.

This brings us back to my belief that life is nothing but belief and perception for as the scripture says as one believes in their heart so it is.

I really believe that is the key scripture in the entire set of scriptures  for truly as we believe so it is.

Now I am talking about what is truly in our heart of hearts down in our subconscious. 

Life is truly wonderful to the extent we allow it to be for ourselves.

Remember no one can ruin our lives unless we allow it.

The most horrible things can many times raise us to levels we never would have reached with them.

Take everything that is given us and use it to the good of all and the benefit of the kingdom of Spirit.

I love and believe in YOU

The Living Sermon
The first part of this post was first published in the “Faith for daily Living” in South Africa. I’d rather see a sermon than hear one any day. I’d rather one would walk with me than merely show the way. The eye is a better pupil and more willing than the ear.  Fine council is confusing but example always clear.The best of all the preachers are the ones who live their creeds.  For to see good put into action is what everyone needs.  I soon can learn to do it if you let me see it done.  I can watch your hands in action, but your tongue too fast may run.  The lectures you deliver may be very wise and true.  But I would rather get my lessons by observing what you do.  I may not understand the high advice that you may give.  But there is no misunderstanding how you act and how you live. I believe that if I just stop there and the message would be complete, however, my publisher asks for at least 500 words or more.  I came across this actually as I was researching another quote, “the laborer is worth of their hire”. It was taped inside of my Dake’s Bible.  Even by the choice of my Bible one can tell I am a maverick for Reverend Dakes was a maverick charismatic Church of God minister from I think Georgia or Alabama in the mid 1800’s.   His bible is annotated with his thoughts and beliefs about almost every verse in the bible.  It is literally his life’s works and thoughts. I enjoy it for it gives another’s thoughts to compare with my own.  He wasn’t afraid to put them down on paper for the whole world to see.  Upon his transition his family published it for the benefit of the whole world. As most of you Know I am not a traditional type of minister.  I do not hold with most religions.  I believe as St. Paul that we should each seek our own salvation.  However, unlike Paul who said to do it with fear and trembling, I believe it should be done with joy and happiness. It thrills me to no end knowing that Spirit trusts me to find my own way that I am not a robot that is put here programmed and then expected to live by the rules of others. What I am expected to do is to figure it out for myself that all I am doing is remembering for I came to this dimension with full knowledge of my history, purpose and mission. It was only after arriving that I was domesticated much like a dog and trained to believe what I was told and not to question. As great as the scriptures are and they are great whether they be Christian, Muslim, or what ever they are full of wisdom.  What we fail to recognize most of us is the reason they were produced in the first place.  One reason and one reason only.  They are here to calm and pacify a rising questioning population.  Yes, this is the only reason they were placed here.  To hide the mysteries in plain view and to give us a guide until we understood that we were to think for ourselves.   Spirit used the Authorities to put these out in such a way that they thought few if any would figure out the true truth buried deep within in them. To any true student of Scripture they quickly figure out they are like a rose or an onion with many layers to each verse.  With each reading we discover something new and exciting. I believe in living a life with things taken from many different disciplines for none of them have the entire truth.  It is only by searching though the haystacks of material that one finds the needles or nuggets of light. Then as we begin the discover these we realize that somewhere deep within us these truths have lain hidden waiting for us to “remember” and discover them all anew on our trip back home to the top of the mountain.   Yes to have a living sermon preached to us from the lives of our teachers rather than the empty words they speak. Any one can talk it but only special ones can walk it.  Try as I do I fail daily to be the person I choose to be.  However as the picture gets clearer in my mind so does my walk.  It is amazing how Spirit guides us for my post to day was to be on the Laborer being worthy of their hire and then Spirit allows me to find this old article that I clipped out at least twenty years ago.  A shout out here to one of my teachers from that time twenty years ago.  A man in A non conventional profession as he is one of the top Texas Holdem players in the world.  He won the world championship I believe in 1995 or 96.  He taught me a lot about giving and receiving for the first time I met him he gave me a watch and a hundred dollar bill so to D. R.  I thank you and remember you with lots of love and affection. Know that you made a huge impression on me and taught me that even a deck of cards carries the good news within it. For now let me say how much I really love, honor, respect and believe in each one of you.

Back Again

Well as I promised here I am back again and not two weeks later although I did stop in the garage to rearrange of the shelving I brought with me as well as a nice desk top or two.

I also started on the quake straps for some of the taller furniture such as the grandfather clock the picture hutch as well as the book shelves in my office.  I started as I said and then detoured to make a spot of tea don’t you know.

Ok so I go a hundred miles to cross the drive way I am an Aquarian and that is what we do although along the way we usually manage to solve a few dozen challenges along the way.

Say what one will about us all being individuals which we are however there is something to the thinking that those born on the same days are rather predictable after studying their charts and astrology.

I sure would love to have one of those nice new astrology programs since the one I am using was a

$ 29.95 software I got in 1995.  It gives a nice reading though not nearing so in depth as the new ones. Oh, well Universe if you are listening I would love to have the new solar fire program from astrolabe.

I love around my office and I am snug as a bug in a rug and twice as happy.

Funny I got busted yesterday for reading a lot again.  What some people do not understand is that I read not only as an escape but also when I am very, very happy and that is the state I find myself in at this time.

Four weeks until our commitment ceremony which is to be followed up by a few days in the mountains in our Lance Camper at Mountain lakes and this weekend we are headed out to the desert outside of
Barstow to visit Sandy’s Brother-in-law Harvey for a day or so.  Sure hope it isn’t windy going over those mountains to get there as we are taking he Camper and it is as tall as an eighteen wheeler.  No joke and it sits on a ford 550. Lots of weight to haul down the road.

We are taking the dogs as well as we usually do when we travel.

Looking forward to possibly taking it to Waco next year for my fifty year High School Reunion. Wow, fifty years ago seems almost like yesterday and in our philosophy where all things are happening all at the same time, Birth, life, death and rebirth life after life all happening now in this instant.  It is all Mind Blowing to say the least.

I also love sitting here sharing my thoughts with any and all that wish to join me as I jot down my thoughts on life and what have you.

It is amazing to think why does one person live sixty, seventy, eighty or even over a hundred years while another is gone in only a very few years.

As our science is enabling us to live longer and longer I hear of more and more people leaving us at early ages such as thirty seven for God’s sakes of heart attacks and even teens leaving us by their own hands.

Of all things that does break my heart for suicide is the ultimate giving up.  We can always survive as long as we do not give up.   To me that is the ultimate sin is to give up.  No matter what or how many times I am knocked down I shall never ever give up and that you can take to the bank.

There are times I am so tired and stuck in my depression that I have to fight my way back to the top when all I want to do is stay in my mind and live there for it is beautiful, the paradise to end all paradise.

However this is where I have chosen to be in this time and space of here and now.

It feels good to sit here and wander around a bit with no particular place to go although I know in my own way I am escaping from those quake straps and something tells me they are not putting themselves on so… ok here I go and remember I love and believe in You NOW.

In the office

Well it isn’t the oval office but it is my office…my space…my ‘cave’.  I love it although some would say it is ten pounds of caca in a five pound box and they would be correct except it is my caca in my box.

I am not what one would call materialistic although I do like nice things and do love my books.  I am having to pare down and fortunately my partner, Sandy’s Church’s Youth group is having a fundraiser rummage sale in two weeks which will give me a great place to unload a lot of my ‘stuff’ for a good cause.

There is only sixty boxes of books here with about another thirty  in my son’s garage.  I will be going through and eliminating most of the novels while keeping my reference library of self-help, philosophy, wicca, religion along with my collection of herbals.

Right now I feel cluttered for that is what I am at the moment and until I get this organized and put away it will be next to impossible to get anything done.  At this time I couldn’t have a client in if I wanted to. 

This is where I say ok angels and all of you out there send me all of the energy and best wishes you possibly can for I shall tackle this a little at a time as the Spirit moves me and the way I am feeling right now the Spirit is moving me

But first I have to get up and out of my jammies and get some breakfast.

My partners Spirit dog Kelsey is visiting me today I just felt her wet nose nudge my foot.  I began seeing Kelsey a couple of weeks or may be a month ago out of the corner of my eye and now she comes more regularly.

It seems as if all of my partner’s dogs the live ones Trouble the Wennie dog and Missy the big beautiful golden lab have become my dogs as well as Kelsey who is in Spirit now but still loves to roam the house and back yard where she reigned for many years.

I’m going to take a bread now and come back in a little while and give some more of what some call my ‘wisdom’ and which I call just talking of what was, is and shall be… So until later

Getting back to it

It has been some time since my last post, possibly a week or two.  Well, between moving as well as the NBA playoffs my time has been limited or at least this wasn’t a priority also I now have a house and yard that requires my time also.

That in itself is a full time job as those of you with a house and yard know.  I love to give flowers to my lady but cringe to give cut flowers though they are beautiful and they are for the moment.  It is seeing them wilt and die that get me so I tend to give potted plants that I can transplant into the yard.  I never did this before and find that I love it sitting on the patio watching the plants that I have planted take off and flourish.

Sitting here in my new home office at my make shift desk with my laptop on my lap surveying my office as it takes shape while I see in my mind where things are going.

By the way what is really interesting is figuring out how to merge my three thousand or so books in with my lady’s books.

Merging one’s life in with another is also interesting especially at our ages 61 and 67 as we are both fairly settled in our routines and lives so it is very interesting as we compromise with a loving give and take on both sides.

One hand one gives love and attention the other never received before while the other gives a home and security one never really had before.

Commodities many take for granted while others never knew either existed.  We both enjoy showing our affection privately and in public.

It is ok for us to walk along holding hands as it is ok for me to reach over and scratch her back where I know she loves it or for her to stroke the back of my neck as I am driving or sitting.

It is ok to just be us with our likes and dislikes, our grunts and pains of sometimes just moving around.

Life is good, but remember, it is only as good as we THINK it is.

That is what life is only an idea in our minds.  Actually life just is neither good or bad only what we believe it to be.

I can think myself happy or think myself sad and blue.

Being a manic-depressive I have had to learn not to trust my feelings for I can be in the deepest depressed state you can imagine while being surrounded with cheerful happy people.  It is up to me to consciously move myself to where I choose to be.  I can either stay in my depressed mood or work to bring myself out for if I do not then I adversely affect those around me with my moods.

It is up to me to maintain myself in a happy healthy mode while allow those around me to enjoy me. the happy, cheerful me.

If one is depressed then get off of you posterior and take control of your depression instead of allowing it to take control of you.

You can do it.

When I feel it happening to me and I know it very well then I allow myself to feel it as I honor my feelings then I move to change it by raising my vibration and energy level by doing something constructive like writing or fixing a good meal for my lady.

I owe it to myself to live the most happy, prosperous life I can and I owe it to the Universe also for all of the opportunities I have been given.

The biggest opportunity I have been given is to love and believe in YOU.

 People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how they felt when they left you.

Sorry I be Moving

The words that bring to mind so many emotions are “Moving DAY”.

That is what we are experiencing at this time.  It would be much more merciful if it were moving “DAY” However we have been doing this now for at least three months.  Little by little, week-end by week-end we have been doing it.  You say, how much stuff can a one bedroom apartment have or how much can be in a 740 square foot.  Perhaps you could have some imagination of how much if you could have seen my daughter’s face when she walked in Saturday morning and saw my apartment through the eyes of one that was going to be packing and moving and not just running to the bathroom during a Bar-B-Q at Bubba’s place next door.  Yes, she still calls him Bubba though she is almost the only one he allows it nowadays for now he is William.  Oh, yes I did.  He is William the Fourth while I am William the third as that is what the W in W. Isaac Norris 3^rd stands for.

Anyway, back to the moving.  I am moving twenty-two miles in physical distance while the difference in area and attitude or a thousand miles apart.  From an area comprised mainly of transients, though many like myself had been there for several years.  I have been there about six years and my son has been there almost seven although for the last twenty years I have come and gone several times.  This is sort of my healing area where I come to lick my wounds, get healthy and return to the wars again.  Last time I was gone from 1996 to 2004 or 2005.  I intend to make this the last time to leave with no intention of returning for anything more than to visit.

To an area where the residents for the most part have been here twenty to thirty years or more, I have come.  The ladies house I will be sharing has been in her house for over thirty years and here I come with my thousands of books to brighten her life as she brightens mine.

Yes moving season it is for we got about forty or so boxes of books this time with the furniture and things to come as we also got most of my leather and jewelry tools and findings and supplies.  However we still have to get my soap and candle making molds and supplies as well as finish cleaning out the kitchen, bath and bedroom.

Oh, yes, there is still my recliner which will find it’s way to my office as a client’s therapy chair. As well, as the craft desk, office desk, credenza entertainment system TV DVD and VHS playerand assorted electronics with my twenty year old stereo system and all.

Yes, merging households are interesting as we become committed housemates.  At our age there is no need to marry for our child creating days are behind us while our life creating days are before us.

I have to think this way for only yesterday Lynn Redgraves made her transition and we are the same age, of sixty-seven, don’t you know.

But then, I am blessed for as I sit here and think back at all of those so much younger than I that have left us to pursue a new and exciting path in another dimension I give thanks that I have not left yet for there is still so much to do, see, and experience.

Life just keeps getting better and better as I continue to grow in wisdom and knowledge and stature within the world of Spirit.

Moving season it is and the season should close on or before May 31^st, 2010 as that is the date we gave the management company as to when we would be out of the apt.

Well, break is over and time to get back to putting away books, books and more books.

Remember I love and believe in YOU.

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how they felt when they left you.
