Prayer

Lord & Lady,
Merry meet to the both of you. Please lend your live to my family and help them through hard times. Wrap all of your children up in your arms and keeping us all safe and loved. Let your spirit flow through us. Let your fire flow in our veins. Let your water keep our bodies sated for your worship. Let your earth keep our bodies nourished with your fruit you provide. Let the breath of our lungs glorify you.
I call forth your love and protection to protect us, your children.
So note it be.

Peace

Merry meet,
When you think of the word 'peace' what comes to your mind? Most would answer with 'quiet' 'no noise' or 'alone' but to really achieve peace, in my opinion is to be the calm to someone else's anger. To be the calm in the middle of the tornado. You can find peace in a quiet room with no noise or on one around but that is only an outer peace.
Inner peace is achieved through hard times or hard experiences. Most of the time but achieving inner peace is also the ability to be calm amidst anger or chaos and still remain calm. The words 'peace', 'calm', 'quiet' usually go hand in hand and are most often used when in coincidence of each other. To experience inner peace, you have to be able to redirect anger or violent behavior towards something,well,peaceful.
Violence and anger are another set of words that are used together often. But a person who has inner peace will act out of kindness even in the face of danger or violence. A person who has no inner peace will act in anger or violence when confronted with something fearful.
I want you to try something. I want you to try sitting in a room where maybe a party is going on or where your kids are playing and being loud and close your eyes and just try to remain calm, do this for at least ten to fifteen minutes and comment with how it made you feel.
It helps me especially on days where everything feels it is going wrong.
Let me know of your experience with it!

Refreshing

Today has been refreshing for me. I sat on my front porch and watched the birds and squirrels. I noticed that the flowers planted around my house are coming up and one flower has already bloomed. The breeze was just right, the temperature was warm but not hot. Perfect day to just sit and read or knit or just to watch the animals.

Your journey not "our" journey

Merry meet, a lot of people do not realize that journeys that they take are  meant for their own happiness and not others. If you take a spiritual journey solely to gain approval and acceptance from friends and family then you are taking that journey for the wrong reasons. You need to think on your spiritual needs as well as what feels right for you. You may go through thousands of different religions to find one to suit your needs or you might find that you are more comfortable taking bits and pieces from other religions and making your own special spirituality. As long as it satisfies your spiritual needs and makes YOU happy. "One man's mythology is another man's religion"_author unknown.
Bright blessing so you and yours :-)

so far this year..

So far this year since my last post, there has been two super full moons in the month of January and now in February, it has snowed not once but twice. Which, being from Alabama, is very unusual for me.  but special at the same time since this is my son's first (and second right now) time seeing snow and he is but only two year old. 
Alabama weather definitely varies, we're had snow one week, warm rainy weather the next then the very next week there's snow once again but there is ice along with it this time. This definitely a lucky year for my family so far, hope it is lucky for you and yours as well.
Happy Valentine's day.
