A Personal Prayer for Peace (LLJL)

I wanted to share you with a horrific situation that just occurred two days ago right here in Rochester,

to a friend of my daughter...

This is a clarion call to All for your Prayers and Energy of Healing and Light...

This is the scenario...

Three young men decide for whatever reason to sit down one afternoon,

put a gun with one bullet in the chamber between the three of them and play a deadly game...

One of them was nineteen years with a new born baby in the next room...

Did they think it would be fun to play out a video game or TV show or movie?

Maybe this gun could go off, or maybe not..

No matter let's play and we'll see what tomorrow brings...

One click...nothing and laughter...

The Second click...nothing more laughter...

Laughter is still permeating the air, when the third click is released...

And the third player falls lifeless, a pool of blood covering all...

And in an instant every life, as they knew it, at that table ended right then and there.

When they tried to revive him they saw their error

It was not a game...

It was not a joke and yes the bullet was live...

And a 19 year old boy with an infant child is dead.

Was it sucide, Was it murder?

Some strange Kevorkian twist of fate that brought friends together to send someone to the other side before their time...?

Well this is real...and this is forever.

I am struggling to understand what these young men were thinking...
And am overwhelmed by the insanity and senselessness of such an act..
I am really having a hard time processing it all...
My heart is broken for all involved in this tragic situation...
And has brought up many painful memories of my own beautiful brother's passing some 47 years ago...
Who consciously ended his own life by the barrel of gun...
This happened right here in Rochester, NY and not a word has been broadcasted or published about this...
Please keep all in your prayers!
May angels surround them all...
And may we finally realize the insanity that a violent society has wrought...
A Change in thinking and acting...
A Shift in Consciousness must come...
May we finally understand and live in the ways of Peace
For this are my most fervent prayers offered up today!

Please join me in this quest...

Many Blessings to you All...

Morning Prayer by Marianne Williamson

A Gift...
Excerpt of My Morning Prayer Ritual ~
(taken from "Meditations for a Miraculous Life" CD by Marianne Williamson)

"...This is the day that the Lord hath made...
And I pray...
May I become the person God would have me be.
That I may do what God would have me do.

Dear God, Where would you have me go,
what would you have me do,
what would you have me say and to who?

On this day and everyday,
May the Light of God now pour forth upon me,
through every aspect & cell of my being,
that I may be Light unto Others.
May where I walk & where I stand today be Holy Ground.
May every encounter...be a Holy Encounter.

I salute with Love everyone I will meet today.
Everyone I know and everyone I do not yet know.
I pour forth Light in front of me,
into every situation and every circumstance I will experience.

On this day...
May I be a servant of God...
A teacher of God...
A minister of God...
Giving that which I wish to receive ...
Loving as I wish to be Loved...
A natural conduit for the miracles of God,
as I open my Heart to receive them..
And to give them to others as well.

And thus my my day be blessed.
May I be blessed that I might be a blessing unto others.
Every situation shall be a lesson for for me,
and for those with whom I am in contact.

May I be my more Loving Self…
Teach me, God, how to Bless and no longer blame…
To Forgive and no longer judge…
To receive…
To Be at Peace…
To be a Channel for your Love…
May myself, may this world,
May all living things be Blessed this precious day.

I send the Love and the Blessing and the Healing of God
To all war torn regions of this world…
For those who are hungry, may they be fed…
For those who are sick, may they be healed…
For those who suffer, Dear God, comfort them…
To those who are unjustly treated, Help Dear God..
And use me as your vessel that I might help You help them.

Give Meaning to my Life…
Health to my Body…
And Graciousness to my Heart.
On this day and everyday,
May Your Will be Done…
On Earth as it is in Heaven…
For me and for all humankind.

Amen.

Listen Closely by Ron Atchison

"Listen closely and you can hear them...
the great spirits of every tribe
the ones who were here before us
Listen to what they are saying
There is one who calls himself Gandhi
and another who calls himself King
They know that the way is not easy
There is a woman named Teresa
and many who are simply known
as Grandmothers and Grandfathers
and all of them whisper into our ear...
'Don't give up' they tell us...
'Don't become cynical...' '
Take one more step...'
'There is a reason...' "

Earth Changes (LLJL)

With the ongoing and most recent earth devastations, there is much going around about ancient prophecies.
I once heard Dr.Len Horowitz, a seer himself, say that "the only good prophecy is a failed prophecy", and he referred specially not only to his own visions, but those of Nostradamus and Cayce.
His meaning was that the reason the gift of prophecy is given to us, is so we can become aware & through our actions, thoughts & consciousness change what might/may come to pass.
Make no mistake, we are in control. We do have the power! And we are at yet another pivotal point in our evolution.
So I urge all who are guided, moved, willing and able to Pray, Meditate, Send out Positive, Loving, Healing Thoughts, Visualize & above All let your Actions towards Others and the World match the Vibration of Evolved Consciousness that We & Our Beloved Home, Mother Gaia, are meant to Reach.
The Time is Now...
Jesus said..."Know ye not that ye are gods?"
We are the Minds, Voices, Hands and Hearts of the Creator!
"We are the One's We Have been waiting for..."

Susan B (LLJL)

Today I am drinking from a mug, that has the phrase "Failure is Impossible!", and will wear a pin to work with the same words...as today, is a most special day for Women Everywhere, but most especially for those of us who live in the Rochester, NY area...

Today commemorates the Birthday of Susan B. Anthony, who worked and made her home, here, in Rochester. She was a fierce advocate and activist for the Rights of Women, and was the First US Women to have her likeness on a coin...

And those words "Failure is Impossible" were her banner and became the clarion call for all Women to stand up and raise their voices not just for the rights of Women but for Human Rights Everywhere.

As you go throughout your day today, ask yourself, how will you honor this special Sister? Give a little thought of praise and gratitude to this incredible woman, who made so many of the freedoms that we currently enjoy and may take for granted, possible...

"The older I get, the greater power I seem to have to help the world; I am like a snowball - the further I am rolled the more I gain."~ SBA

Howard Zinn on Civil Disobedience

"Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders…and millions have been killed because of this obedience…Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves… (and) the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem." ~ Howard Zinn

If the Titanic sank today, here's how the President, the media and Wall Street would spin it (satire)

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor

(NaturalNews) What would all the world's experts and authorities say today if the Titanic were sinking but nobody was willing to admit it? The U.S. economy, after all, is sinking and taking on an unprecedented volume of water (i.e. debt), yet virtually no one is willing to admit the obvious fact that this ship is sinking. And much like with the Titanic, most "experts" continue to claim the U.S. economy is unsinkable, despite the obvious evidence that we might want to start heading for the life rafts.

So in the spirit of comedy -- which is, after all, what we are witnessing in Washington these days -- imagine The Titanic hitting an iceberg in 2011, followed by a string of experts all trying to spin the story their own way. Here's what they might say:

The White House Press Secretary: The iceberg was placed in the Atlantic ocean by Osama Bin Laden.

The chemist: That's not an iceberg. It's merely solid-state di-hydrogen oxide.

Al Gore: That iceberg wouldn't have even been there if the polar caps weren't melting.

The Congressman: Quick, let's pass a new law that says ships shall not sink.

President Obama: The Titanic isn't sinking. It's merely engaged in "aquatic action."

Former President Bush: Icebergs are weapons of mass destruction planted in the ocean by terrorists. We must avenge the iceberg terrorists!

The Pentagon: We will equalize the hole in one side of the ship by blowing a matching hole in the other side.

The TSA inspector: You're not allowed onto a lifeboat until we check your anus for explosives.

The Cancer Doctor: We can't fix the hole in the ship, but through the miracle of chemotherapy, we can make you suffer so much that you won't care.

The Wall Street investment banker: Don't worry, the Fed will bail out all the water we're taking on. The Titanic is too big to fail.

The teenage girl: Can I still text on my iPhone under water?

Congressman Weiner: Yes you can, and by the way, here's a very special "going away" message for you to remember me by.

Average Joe: Is the ship's buffet still open?

The FDA: We believe the ship is sinking because of an e.coli infection that spread from the galley.

The CDC: Everybody should get vaccinated before the ship sinks, just in case there's a shark-flu virus in the water.

The New Ager: There is no hole in the ship unless you believe there is a hole in the ship.

The Academic: I have published a paper that proves this ship is unsinkable. Would anyone like to read it? Please?

The Catholic priest: I think we should save all the children first. Which lifeboat are they on again?

The Journalist: The Titanic has a hole in its side, but official sources tell us it's only "aquatic action" and there's no cause for alarm. And we believe them.

The Federal Reserve: We have decided to dump more water onto the ship in the hope of making it float.

The Federal Government: Hey, these deck chairs look pretty nice. Let's rearrange them!

The Doctor: We need to order a couple dozen CT scans of the ship's null and bill them to Medicare before we have any idea at all what to do.

The Denialist: Stop talking about negative things. Stay focused on the positive and you won't need a life vest.

The Realist: This ship is going down, folks. You might want to think about taking action to keep yourself alive.

The Gullible Masses: Don't worry, this ship is unsinkable.

Even if it did sink, there are plenty of lifeboats.

Even if there aren't enough lifeboats, we all have life jackets.

Even if we don't have enough life jackets, the government will come save us.
