• Can You Give Them Amnesty? •
Forgiveness is like the hypnotic
dance of raindrops.
Each one has a sound of its own—
each one weight-bearing of how it falls.
The descent of water—release
and pardon those who have
caused you suffering. Cleanse—soften
the innermost pieces of hate,
jealousy, and racism.
Let it rain. Let me dance. Let me release.
My mind is cleansed, and my soul is free.
The rain has stopped, the sun shines through,
and I emerge like light, free and transcendent.

In, What is the Innate Object of Awareness? How long does it take a person to notice? It doesn’t matter what color of choice or the size it is, it’s not like the elephant in the room. Who makes it noticeable?
First, what the hell does (innate) have to do with anything? Oh, but, it does.
Cambridge Dictionary Definition: (of a quality) which you are born with, or which is present naturally: Her writing expresses the innate beauty of the human spirit.
It was an intriguing theory to test, to see if anyone in my family would notice it, or, for that matter, even acknowledge it. With a refreshing aesthetic of green in the bay window, with small sprig starters encapsulated in crystal and water. The start to a new life, a new root system.
It was a pleasure to test.
Could roots of a past bring on a new life form by the smallest of actions?
The most appropriate time to raise consciousness is me getting in my car and driving to the place that can drowns anxiety, a place where I can smell salt in the air. The place that draws the shoreline to my toes and an ocean waves whisper a lullaby or sometimes crashes upon one’s overthinking mind.
If anyone knows that you are frustrated, they’ll walk away, and soon pretending is the answer to everything. So sometimes, you do things like taking a dying plant, cut the greenest part of its existence. Put three pieces into separate crystal vases filled with distilled water. Just so you can imagine when you cut away the past. And with that maybe the present will form a new lifeline.
In, Embody Mindfulness Presence: Them or You? We’ve been programmed since we drew upon our first breath to model behaviors from others and for others. Our parents for instance, other family members. Include teachers, outside influences too. Whether we know this or not.

A sad thought for me. Children who are brought up in an environment of chaos, parents, grandparents, and so on, and so on. A lineage of hate, abuse, human trafficking, cruelty, drugs, and alcohol abuse. I look at the violence happening at this very moment, and it’s history repeating itself over and over.
A happy thought for me. My daughter walks into my office this morning to say the most sweetest words, the moment she’s finished dressing, making her bed, eating her breakfast. Also, finishing up on household chores that are a responsibility as a person who lives under the same roof as well as myself and my sweetheart.
In todays episode, Discover You 365 Series #2: Time is Everything. Timing holds the key to your inner peace. I couldn't understand what inner peace meant to me twenty years ago. Let me explain why...
...
Understanding Timing is Everything
Timing holds the key to your inner peace and discovering more about yourself that you cannot be aware of. This was a hard concept for me to grasp right off. You might be questioning yourself about this. Twenty years ago, my mindset and spirit were not aligned.
My husband at that point of time was dying of Multiple Myeloma Stage Two bone cancer, add word dying when it correlates with the word terminal and raising my adopted daughter of five years-old. With these challenges, I also ran my husband's asphalt paving business.
How can you even grasp the concept of inner peace when your mind, body, and soul is at war. The thing is I couldn't. Because there was no peace at that time. The strains of the heavy burden I was carrying was immeasurable. I'm pretty sure you can relate this state of a chaotic environment.
Holding it together took every bit of my energy to be in many different places at one time.
Sometimes though, I drank, just so I could cope and be able to sleep. I think about that now and I don't guilt-trip myself now for falling on the drin
How could it be, when I think back as to what was going on in my life at that time. I can reason with it. Understanding where you are at in the timing.
...
Timing is everything and the discovering parts about myself.
A lot of people will mentally beat themselves up for this. I don't. These experiences I'm grateful for, why, because it opened me up to discovering parts of myself I never knew at the time. Something, I found is I have this amazing energy of resilience. I didn't quit when the timing challenged me for six years, it was time to go deep for that strength and hold on to it so tight.
Relied on my power in prayers and my inner strength. I didn't quit or run away. There was a time, I had to step away and leave my husband. It was when his mental state of mind became violently abusive to myself and my five year old. That was the hardest decision to make. Yet, when physical and mental abuse falls upon your beautiful daughter. There's some major decision making to do. That's when I asked help from his family. They had separated themselves from his illness. I never felt to alone in this journey.
...
Thinking forward to now, I'm grateful. Those human experiences keep me humble and appreciative.
I'm sharing this reality with you because I have learned so much in this day-to-day journey, and I want to share my step-by-step progress in staying on point with your path. Something about discovering you 365 days series.

I have uncovered things about myself when I have open space for learning. You know, when you can lean back and ask yourself. "Why did I react like that? or Why did I say that? That's not who I am.
That's you evolving, that's you leaning in that space of your thoughts and recognizing that you "Invited your soul to peace."
is to ask yourself to remove the heaviness from your soul THAT YOU have carried its weight for quite some time. I could say that I did a deep cleaning, a forgiving inside the spiritual energy that lives inside me.
To have discover this beautiful place of peace
