“This is a wonderful time for Planet Earth, as ugly as it may look at times; for it is the tipping point from which everything can move forward in a very new way. It will be a busy time. The coming years will bring much movement, much activity, sometimes frenzied activity. Hold your calm, hold your center, know that all is well and you will be an ambassador of that for others as well as for yourself. And from that place, you will create the most extraordinary new levels of experience for yourself, for your people and for this planet. The analogy we will give you is moving from black and white television, to 3D Technicolor. That is going to be the experience of what is possible on Earth. And energetically this planet is going to come alive in a way it has not been for many, many thousands of years. This is a wonderful thing. We invite you to embrace it. You are part of everything and that is beautiful.” ~Zapharia through Lee, from The Crystalline Body
“I existed on my own terms. I was different my entire life. Some called me divergent, wild, crazy, unpredictable and unconformed—an apostate to the rules of the majority. I called myself God’s creation and found purpose in the madness. When that day came, I didn’t allow other people to dictate how I should feel or act. I learned there was no shame in imperfection because history had shown being different had the power to change perspectives and eventually the world. This is when I realized that flaws had responsibility. This was the day that I learned I was truly BLESSED.” ~Shannon L. Alder

Today I am grateful for smiling strangers, for all those choosing to create a new story of hope and love, and for the countless acts of generosity and kindness that take place with greater frequency on this planet every day. I am thankful for a roof over my head, food in my belly, friends and family, and for connecting to more amazing souls every day. I am grateful for music, art, poetry and all that feeds my soul. For love, truth, and all the beauty of this Earth. And I am so thankful for all of you ~ Happy Thanksgiving!
What a beautiful gesture this is for the homeless. Makes me so happy to see them treated with such dignity.
“In the house of lovers, the music never stops, the walls are made of songs & the floor dances.” ~Rumi

“Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.” ~KURT VONNEGUT
