Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and I have been sitting here at my keyboard thinking about the many things I have to be Thankful for.
Wow! What a list.
I am Thankful for....
The people in my life that love and support me...because they make my life meaningful and rewarding. Is there ANY THING better than knowing you are fulfilling your spirit's purpose in being, and having your hands and your heart and your soul held while you are doing it?
I am Thankful for ....
The people in my life that do not love and support me, because with out them, I wouldn't be forced to constantly work to stay in a loving ,better place, and would not have the opportunity to put my beliefs into action. A Double Thank you to them!!!
I am Thankful for each person I have ever known...however brief or long a time.
Somewhere, wherever you are...I hope you know that you taught me, touched me and made me a better person than I was before I knew you.
I am Thankful for my store, because every day, when I open the doors, and hang out my open signs, Magic and wonder begin at that moment, and continue throughout the day. Every day is truly an adventure
I am Thankful to the two wonderful spirits who agreed to accompany me through this life time, and also agreed to let me be the mom this time, my daughters. Their wisdom, strength and love make me want to be super woman for them , always.
I am Thankful for the force of nature that is my granddaughter, the Dancing Wind, with stars in her Gemini eyes.
I am Thankful for my Mother, and how the first time I ever saw how boundless the universe was...it was in her wise, beautiful, passionate eyes.
I am Thankful for my Father...he taught me by not teaching me, and gave me so many things to fight against...in his soul, he may have been the best of all, because he threw obstacles in my way, so that I was forced to go after what I wanted, and in the process...truly know myself.
My husbands, my lovers...thank you for the passion, the love, the care, all the good and all the bad, it made me the woman I am today. I think of each of you with a kindness and fondness that the years only magnify...as I grow older and understand stand my self better, I also understand you all so much better, and with a clarity I never had back then. Thank you for loving me. I loved you, too.
I am Thankful for the man who has been the dearest to me for the better part of 7 years,
through laughter and love, pain and sorrow, reconciliation and compromise, and a deep and loving friendship.
Thank you for the laughter, AND the tears, it seems we have each been the other's teacher , and a more fun schoolmate I could not have dreamed up. You taught me how to play.
On this night before our day of Thanks in America...in my soul, from the top of my head, to bottom of my feet, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, for my exquisitely perfect life.

Illusions and Prayers
I am writing again.
For the past months, so much has happened, both internally and externally, I have not been able to share my processes on these pages. It has all been wondrous, my joy in my life and my spirit mission gets deeper and more profound every day.
For the past few months, it seems the world has been turned upside down for a great many people , so there are some things I have been directed to write.
Once there were many people thought they had a great deal of money...only....in reality...there was no money. It was all an illusion.
They believed the illusion, and acted in ways that did not benefit other people. There was a great deal of lying, scheming, and cheating going on, and very little regard for the fortunes, or lack thereof ...of others. There was a general feeling of...I've got mine, and the hell with you". This gradually progressed to"I've got mine, and now I am going to get yours, too". So the illusion of wealth, for the most part brought out that which was basest and lowest behaviors that a human could indulge in. Greed, with no generosity. Filling ones pockets at the expense of someone else, with no regard for honesty, or integrity. Frivolous and low spending on needless toys, drugs and sexual addictions. Ridiculous opulence, while average people could not make a living wage, could not send their children to school, could not get medical care.
Literally over night, the illusion of money vanished.
What took it's place was the illusion of poverty, which is ridiculous if you know what REAL poverty is.
The arrogant "haves", then turned into the frightened "have nots" Afraid to move, afraid to spend, afraid to live, crying over the loss of the money that was never real.
Both illusions are a lie.
It has always been true, as Shakespeare said, that... The world truly is just a stage, and we , but players in it.
The people that created the illusions, bought the illusions. Millions of others saw the illusions, and said, every one else is doing it, it must be the thing to do. Every one else is getting it, I need to get mine too, or I will miss out ...or....even worse SOME ONE ELSE WILL GET MINE!
When the illusion crashed, which of course it had to, since there was no real foundation, Every one lost what they thought they had gained...which....in reality, was nothing.
What you had before, which was real, you still have.
You have mobility. You live in America, still the greatest country on Earth. You have the power to move with courage through the illusion of darkness and ruin that is looming over us. You have the power of the prayer of living positively.
We all pray "Oh God, please let me have...this...have him...have her...have it...
That is the spoken prayer, and most times spoken in sadness and negativity, in want...without any regard to what has already been provided, even the simplest blessing of being able to have a mind that can form those thoughts.
The most powerful, effective prayer in the universe is waking up every day, and saying "Thank you for this perfect day" "Thank you for the food on my table, my friends who love me", "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you". "Living the prayer of having every thing in your life that could possibly make you complete.
Believe, and know, that the current down trend is being fueled into reality by fear and negativity. Do not stand still. Do not cower like a hunted rodent.
Laugh, Love, Plan, Move, Give what you can to those truly in need. Clothing, money, food, kind thoughts. Good wishes. Prayers of love and hope for others in REAL need.
Stimulate your home town economy. Get together with your friends and tell good stories...of honor...of hope...of service and dignity. Plan for a beautiful, prosperous and brave future.
Quit drowning your self in pity, fear and addictions. The world may be selling you this illusion, my friend, but you certainly do not have to buy it.
Live the prayer of Love, Joy and Faith in the Universe every day, and you will see the world around you will take sudden turn for the better.
You are the Master after all, the divine spark, the way that God may know Godsself is through you.
Quit looking for a hero and be one.
