Never Alone

I was walking around my beautiful home thinking how it might be nice is someone were here with me to share in my morning coffee and in my joy.  I had a friend stay with me Saturday overnight and it was so delightful I wishded she was still around.  I started the feel bad for Elliot routine and suddenly out of my mouth came "Elliott, You will never be alone".

The fact is that I have a great family that will never leave me.  I have a brother and sister in law who came by yesterday and brought me dinner for two days and my brother fixed a broken lamp for me and took some things from the garage to the basement.  I surely will not be alone.  It is so unlikely and it does not matter where I am, how healthy or not I am, whether I am living in this home or not.  I won't be abandoned by my family and they continue to be present for me.

God is another source of company for when we feel alone.  Angels as well.  Spirits of those who have gone before us.  We won't ever be alone if we have that connection to God that is all  powerful and knowing.  We won't be alone as long as we are aware of the angels around us who protect and love us.  We are not alone when the spirit of a person who has transitioned is visiting us in our heart and evcn in our home.

The other day I was on the phone with my kid's mother and was sharing my love of my Grandpa Samuel.  Suddenly I felt him following me up the stais as I spoke of him.  I could feel his presence as if he were right there behind me smiling and delighted that I had invited him by mentioning his name.  I told Luz that I missed him and that he was there visiting.  She of course affirmed it because like me she has had this happen to her with her mother and dad who have passed.  We are never really alone.  There is the trees, there is all the nature around us to remind us of God's miracle and the miracles of the earth, the reason that we breathe better.

Feeling sorry for ourselves when we are faced with an illness is OK as long as we don't stay there.  We must be able to put the smile back on our face.  We must be able to dress up and to have some dinner with friends.  We cannot sit and swallow the pain over and over again nor relive it.  We have to be willign to forgive the people who ran in the other direction because they did not learn what we know to be compassion and they are not just scared they seem terrified of cancer or other illnesses.  We must make our own company and our own show.  We must be our own stand up comedian.

A Seasoned Vs Old Person

Those of you who know me personally might be aware that I don't use the word "old".  I don't think that people should be referred to with a word like old and I believe that as we live longer lives we are wiser and that we can be looked upon as "seasoned".  For me the word seasoned means that we have lived a good life and that we have gone from one season to another experiencing life and the many ups and downs of it.  I don't see the word old as one that honors any human being for their acquisition of wisdom and the things they have been able to overcome.  I for one consider myself a seasoned man not an "old man". There are so many meanings to the word old but the one that I am not in agreement with is the connotation that older is less than and younger is more important.  Unfortunately we live in a world where youth is celebrated and seasoned people are looked down on.  The thought is that younger people are more attractive or that they are m...

Your Skirt Is Over Your Head

I am uncertain as to how many of my readers know what I mean about putting your skirt over your head.  All I know is that my sister once said it and I think I heard it in a movie once.  I do know that in the movie "Mermaids" Cher who played the mom had some great lines about being a woman and just having a good time with life.  In one of those what should be famous lines Cher's daughter played by Winnona Ryder says: "Don't you think yoiiu are too old for that dress?"to which Cher responds with: "Don't be silly Charlotte, a woman is never too old".  In another part there is a stunning young man waiting on their porch to welcome them to the country area where they moved and upon setting eyes on him Winnona Ryder who is Charlotte is mezmerized by him.  Cher suddenly turns around and says: "too bad your hell bent on becoming a nun".  To say that Cher truly pulls the dress over her head is really minimizing her role in this movie that I wo...

Visualize It, Manifest It.

Let me just excuse myself from the non-believers as I know you are out there and the mere idea of believing and then achieving seems silly.  If you are one of these people, you should stop reading now and simply not waste any time because if you don't believe in yourself then you will not understand how manifestation works.  This blog is not just about believing and then getting what you believe in but more importantly how to go from the thought of being your highest self to actually being your highest self. And so if you believe, even a little, keep going because this is about having what you want in life ether spiritually, emotionally or physically.  Here are some ways to get there: Setting Your Intention: The very first thing to do when you want to manifest something (joy, money, relationship) is to set your intention.  You can set your intention by speaking of what you want in a way that feels intentional. An intention can sound like this: My intention is ...
