2012, Are we ready for this?

Hello again, and welcome to a new yet insightful post, but before I begin I wish to thank all of you who have visited my blog, I am eternally grateful and look forward to future posts and feedback. As of now, there is still some work to do as to make this blog even better,  as I am new to blogging, but I feel I'll get the knack of it fast, and as I've said before, this bad boy is gonna grow!, I also will be building a profile with a photo of myself soon, so everybody can get to know me a little. So, moving along, who's ready for 2012?, I guess that depends on how a person looks at it, I gotta say, there sure has been a lot of hoopla over it the past three years, for example, the web is chock full of doomsday scenarios, conspiracy theories, and what about hollywood's take on it, who laughed at the big budget 2012 movie a few years back?. For a short while it seemed everyone was thinking about this controversial  year, even I found myself looking for answers, yet expecting the worst. Before I began this journey I was paranoid about 2012, I was buying all the fear everyone was selling, just like when Y2K was in our midst, whet happened there?, my stuff still worked! I've been on this planet almost five decades, my parents witnessed the cuban missle crisis, and when I was in my early twenties, during the reagan years, I feared nuclear war between us and russia, a few years later, the crash in october '87!. They kept a comin', desert storm, another recession, piling on the fear. Here's the thing, we always seem to manage through, yet the media and masses paint a doomsday picture of where it's all headed, and here we are still. I've read many books about prophecy, armegeddon, including Hal Lindsy, George Orwell, Edgar Cayce. trying to find answers of how long I had before all hell broke loose, I'd  found my new religion, FEAR! I had to always know more, before I knew it, ''I'' was the one telling everybody I knew the sky was getting ready to fall. Back then the friends I had were like me, it was regular conversation, we used to talk about the end of the world like teachers talked amongst each other about their favorite students. It felt good, at bars, barbeques, dinner, doomsday was all the rage, and I was leading the way, poisoning minds and crushing dreams including my own, what a fool I was!.Then I'd try to take my gloom and doom message beyond my circle of friends,on many occasions, people thought I was bonkers!, ''hey'', I figured, if they don't want to know the truth, screw'em, again, what a fool I was. The sad part was, looking back, I was giving away my power buying into all the crap I was exposing myself to and trying to take with me others, including family and friends, I know, I know, and will agree, what a fool I was!. One of the most important things I've learned on this journey is when you ''buy'' into fear, you simply give away your power, in the worst way, even worse, sometimes others when you spread  the gospel  of  ''how bad it it is''. I now believe in the power of emotions, but words also have power, and people listen, and can easily be influenced as I was. Now, lets fast forward to 2012, this is supposed to be the end of all ends!, even the ancient mayans predicted some kind of cataclysm, how can we be sure?, we won't until we get there, and more than likely, were still going to be here, so what WILL happen during the twelve months of 2012?, it's not for me to say or worry about, not this time. What could happen might be surprising, even amazing, there is absolutely a big shift taking place, and as I said in an earlier post, a wake up call is coming,and it will be up to us, as a global community, how we react! Either way, things are gonna change,  but are continents gonna break off in the ocean?, hollywood thinks so, but I don't. A big shift in awareness is more than likely, it could come in many ways, man made or natural disasters could cause the shift, or everything that's been happening this past decade, either way, its coming, and it's bringing change with it!.  2012 is upon us,  so am I afraid?, no, I'm excited, I'm on a fantastic journey, I have nothing to fear!, it's going to be the best year of my life, and even better beyond!.
People will always be  the chicken little, like I was, and with election year, the media frenzied, the far right's fear
doctrine, people will, unfortunately, surrender their power to fear and paranoia, i'ts a bad vibration to send to our amazing universe. Whatever happens, I trust there will be enough of us to make this shift a smooth sailer, and I'm proud of this blog for being able to spread the message and importance of global unity, it ''is'' my mission, and  I am in this for the long haul!                     Until next time soon,  and many more after!

Giving Thanksgiving

Hello fellow creators, wow, what a busy holiday season this is turning out to be, it is my second since I began my journey seventeen months ago, I've got to say it's a little more intense this time around but in a good way. I'll be the first to admit I love the holiday season, especially in Phoenix, our weather is very pleasant this time of year, it's a nice break from the long hot summers. Now there's another side to this amazing time of year and if your out and about, people are all stressed out planning, buying gifts, even fighting and hurting each other for the best bargains on black friday, I've even heard of worse things happening, but I won't go into that!.  I'd like to say that bieng connected to source is the best place you can ever be on the holidays, it seems to me it was meant to be this way, on thanksgiving I attended a special party, it was of a slightly different tradition, dinner around 8 pm, dancing, playing pool, there was even a pinata busting ceremony! I enjoyed myself immensly, at a given time there were 30 people there, the amazing thing was I never heard anybody talk about the stress of the holidays, they were living in the moment, the present. I realized then this is how it should be, this is the true meaning of the holidays, mind you, I only knew a handful of all who
attended. Now I'm sure some of  them may or may not have gone shopping the next day, but I decided that I
was not going to go anywhere to buy anything that black friday. I decided to do something no one would even think of that next day, I went to my favorite nature spot and watched a spectacular school of birds frolic in the field. It was as if they knew I was watching, for almost 2 hours this was happening, I thought to myself how can anyone not see this?, it was magical!, about 100 yards away, cars are passing by none the wiser. My own personal nature show, because I visit this spot frequently, the birds know me, we have a connection, as crazy as it sounds, it's very true, they nest nearby in a cluster of trees, where they've always been long before I started coming to the spot, in a big lot, near a busy street, and most people don't even see. The best part, because my focus was on the birds, I got a very rare treat of nature at play, I felt like crying, all this for me?, best gift of nature I ever recieved. Bieng connected to source during the holidays is the best gift to give to yourself, nature, and others as well, I'm learning there is more to this than gifts and stuff, the best gifts are all around us and the universe is more than happy to bring them to us especially when we notice them, oh, and as for thanksgiving, gratitude was very abundant!
Until next time soon!
