There is so much more... and I'm grateful for all of it.

2011.... I'm ready for ya! I've put all my hopes and dreams out there and am ready to be more involved in the world... to be helpful and awake in this beautiful time of growth and expansion.

Abundant blessings to all.... time to come together and re-create... higher awareness, compassion for our Mother Earth, and appreciation for all the beautiful beings and energies around us. It's all connected... we're all one.

Love, love, love.... ;)

Just Know...

Just Know...
I was ashamed of the history of my race. At a very young age, I hung my head as I knew what my race had done... rapes, murder, brutality, lies.... slavery.

Just Know...
I do not agree with or condone any of the violence, destruction, or disrespect that has been a part of my race's history.

Just Know...
I have forgiven.

Just Know...
I have not forgotten.

Just Know...
This lifetime, I came into my white skin... last time, I was Indian.

Just Know...
Others may judge us when we're together, based on the color of our skin... let them. We will plant the seed.... we will help them open their hearts and see inside of ours. We set the example. We will unveil the power of real Love.... come share with me.

Just Know...
My Love overflows from within. Love is unconditional... Love knows no color.

Just Know...
I am changing the world with my energy... with my Love.

Just Know...
So can you.



One Love... One Race... xoxo

The Human Race... All is Well.

A Challenging Day

Whew.... what a day. Today is Thursday and like every Thursday, the boys and I went "Coffee Shop Shopping." That's where we pick up groceries for the local coffee shop.

We went to King Soopers and Costco.... whoa. What a trip! I should've gone at midnight. It was nuts..... people were on a mission! The boys and I are used to chillin' in the stores. I'm not one to rush and it makes for a better experience if we all just kinda chill as we shop.

Well, others didn't feel so "chill." We felt as if we were in the middle of rush hour people traffic! I wasn't prepared for that as we entered and shopped at the first stop.... King Soopers. But, just know, I was more than prepared for Costco!

The boys and I pretended we were in bubbles and nobody else was around. We still made an effort to be respectful and use our manners, but we had to really concentrate on just us. We had to skip the usual samples that Costco has for us as it would have included standing in long lines! The boys were cool with that.... they weren't big fans of the huge amount of energy in the store.

We really took our time and looked around as others were frantically shopping and getting every ingredient/present/etc. for the holidays.

I noticed most men, in particular, were just not smiling as much as usual.... they were trailing behind their wives, just trying to keep up.

Then you had some couples who were "tag teaming." That was beautiful... you get this item, and I'll head over here and grab that one.... we'll meet here!

Just amazing to people watch and not so much fun trying to shop. The boys usually help me get items off the shelves, but today... mmmm, not-so-much.

A learning experience for all of us. Also a great time to spread smiles and peace as we focused on just being present.

Exhale... a nice hot bath... mmmmm....

Abe's Quote Of The Day... So Incredible

You can be fully satisfied with where you are, understanding that you're
eternally evolving. When you get into that place of feeling appreciation
of where you are and of who you are, and appreciation of what you are, and
you accept that you are a never-ending, always unfolding Being, then you
can stand in that delicate balance of being optimistic about what is to
come, without being unhappy about where you stand.
Find a way of eagerly anticipating future changes, while at the same time
you are in love and satisfied with who, what, where and how you be.

--- Abraham
