DISCLAIMER
My name is not God, I am no preacher, or religious leader of any sort so I begin this by saying that i am not fit to aid you in manners where a higher power is concerned but as a person like all of us who has been tested,
who has gone through trial and tribulation we come to the astounding conclusion that I have deduced like dear Watson...
I'm just a man, a simple man with complex thoughts, big dreams and a devotion to family (Whether some of them like me or not). My grandpa use to jokingly taunt in his deep Southern Carolinian drawl "You know something boy, I love ya, but I don't like ya !"
As I laugh inside while preparing the exciting and wonderful updates I promised...

Apologies, its the holiday times and I know, I know I admit it I lied get over it, my excuse is that there were some extenuating circumstances involving my family which left me depressed and in a weakened mind state for a brief and yet pivotal moment in my personal evolution.
Just as our other readings here should all internalize this theme of bouncing back, acceptance, recovering from a heavy blow, etc. I also silently unto myself repeat this mantra, " And yet, I am still alive! "

So... If its the lord, the spirits, however you decide to attribute your miraculous recovery, I admit it that my spiritual connection with that which cannot be seen has shown me that in life it is those things, that deep sense of divinity that swirls about us, a type of warmth that moves in and around us and factually, not seemingly envelops all we do, this hidden hand or force perhaps, guiding us..
If your an atheist that's not my job to preach but I can say this, there is definitely something universal that keeps this all going, and glued together. That same something keeps the moon from crashing into the earth, that protected me in the car accident a few weeks back, helped me survive the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, something that helped navigate me through my time in the service to being a veteran fighting for benefits, ...
There is Something out there, I call him god and remember I am no absolute authority on how, whom, or what anyone should ponder or believe...
I'm a simple man who truly wishes to spread peace through knowledge as a writer, as an engineer to help construct and develop ways to promote and educate people where, as an artist to express myself by something so simple as a painting for my grandma, you better believe Id put my all into the painting but Id also recognize that there is no haste, no negative connotation or reverberation behind it, the point I'm trying to illustrate is that we are here, in life things wont always go our way but why sulk, we must get motivated and active towards the things and life we like and wish for...

now 2017 is at the front and the back door of our billion dollar dream home we have in our thoughts, our dreams and our vision boards, we are on a course, with our map in the car of our desire, mines a pickup truck with real working Pegasus wings...
We can get there if there is peace in our hearts and an aim for unity, and progression, positive progression!!!
As the great Earl M. Nightingale so graciously, stated If we change our attitudes of mind we can change our destinies for the better!!!
Moving Forward past the incident... (More on this later and why its important to forgive others and stay what I like to call "Positively Motivated and Ready for the Whatever")...
Just think we all know change is inevitable. And in this same notion while we cannot prepare for all happenstances we can practice tranquility, exercise and humility to the best of our abilities can we not?
We can stay as positive as possible and though a popular but false notion, which is for individuals to not count their blessings, this is a false thought state and as it is an untruth that we not count our blessings, I do all the time, my gift or one of them is to write creatively, some days I write objectively, subjectively, I've written all my life and I believe that I was given that gift as a blessing to one day help uplift and guide just one woman or one man out of that tightened, mangy old rut their minds were wrapped in. That starts with "truth" truth unto oneself hence the name of this site...
SO WHAT ARE YOU GOOD AT?
If you can answer this question then you have two blessings that I can count, the fact is that we shouldn't flaunt our blessings as even if you are proud of your accomplishments it does not constitute reasoning behind flaunting wealth, or taunting those without the monetary rewards and blessings you may or may not personally have.
Remember the two blessings....
1.) The breathe and blessing of life
2.) The ability to DO something very well
As my youth league football coach would have shouted, LOUDLY!, might I add. " CATCH THE WAVE AND GET YOUR MIND RIGHT" As he didn't see football as any different from surfing, or physics, or drawing, or writing, or advanced subjects as particle wave theory as he was a quantum physicist as well as our coach and thus our team playbooks were quite lateral and out of the norm, and still new, odd yet highly effective.

Isn't life wild and out of the norm sometimes, and when it gets that way do we not have to ride that wave regardless of our reluctance to do so. Hmmm!!
(Ponder that ....there are many more updates as we prepare for the new years Sitestravaganza which will include all the aforementioned in older posts including the complete makeover so stay tuned and above all...)
keep your thoughts clean as we need to be thinking and not stinking and focused but not hopeless!!!!
Next Post Preview (Thurs Dec 29th Preview)
I wanted to believe it or not I was still special because in our own uniqueness were more than just a woman or simply a man. The lady across the street is an artist, when I say an artist shes an artist she writes, dances, paints, and sings. We are unique individuals that contribute to not just a man and you all aren't just people, were a community forever interconnected globally hell I'm pretty sure the astronauts are even tweeting from space, we like to think of things as new, truth is many of the tools we have to gain clarity and balance are sitting right there, this series of thoughts and ideals are designed to get you out of that same old routine, the same old rut, its like a rusty nut and bolt, if you don't have some form of lubricating grease or compound it will be next to impossible to free that nut from that bolt.. Our minds are no different they are wrapped tight and mine at a time was wrapped too tightly, wound up like a small dog afraid of the lightning, not having an aim, awaking in the morning and instantly succumbing to yesterdays woes and worries, disregard worry, worry like fear is an illusion see if fear is False Evidence Appearing Real then as a person whom at a time was fearful of simply expressing himself let me tell you this secret.. Positive Attitudes can change Latitudes can take you from the night to the heights. I began my experiment almost 10 years ago and you know something I changed two important things about myself.
1.) I was a US Veteran and I feel the best way to represent veterans is to say yes I have some things to change but this had run afoul because I was representing everyone other than myself and this where a close friend had told me, randomly as he walked by almost as a whisper. He said silently.
" Your on the right track just your running the wrong damn race"
(I decided to cut this posting short.. Briefly that is to give people a time to think, and ponder the latter ..don't worry ill let you know exactly when the entire post will be uploaded but I wanted you to think... about what my friend and colleague said.)
(By the way he absolutely doesn't remember saying this at all!!!)
