A galpal is having some challenges with dollars and health right now and doesn’t realize it’s all related. Everything you do and focus on in every part of your life affects all other parts of your life. She scans the news to repost about black on police violence and all the alleged terrorist hits du jour. It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t believe it affects her; it’s like gravity — it doesn’t care if you believe in it or not. If you do yourself a favor and back away from the bad news for a spell, the good news will have a chance to come in again.

The reason it’s possible to live a completely different life from the people living alongside you is vibrational resonance. I got a reminder of that the last few days. I belong to a FB page of people who live around me and some of them can be real hot heads, arguing amongst themselves, threatening vigilante action for perceived wrongs. Some of them listen to the police scanners and update everybody with what’s going on. Some call the police regularly for updates then complain it takes so long for law enforcement to respond at a scene (you’re keeping them on the phone!) Some drive around looking for trouble to report or get into, Until I joined this group, I had no idea I even lived in the middle of that. What I experience in my everyday life is that the people within a few blocks of me are all pretty happy. I seldom hear complaints or sob stories, everyone gets along and everyone goes out of their way to help each other. The people I see in the stores, the post office are all friendly and helpful. So I was kind of surprised to find such a gang of malcontents and know that they literally live right here and I never even knew it. The fact of the matter is we ARE living parallel lives, we ARE living in different dimensions from each other, the same as if we were different radio stations playing side by side. So if you think you are at the mercy of the people around you, I promise you you are not. You are only at the mercy of what you attract by virtue of what you pay attention to and continue to think about. And you always have the option to turn your attention to something more pleasing.    Continue reading →

Peter McGunn writes on Facebook “White people bragging about how they’d run over Black Lives Matter protestors blocking highways just yesterday are now wondering what kind of monster would drive a truck into a crowd full of people.” O wad some Pow’r the giftie gie us, to see oursels as others see us! And the thing is the people who act out in hate do not recognize themselves. To them it’s always the other guy. They haven’t a clue they are the same.  Bless us all.   Continue reading →

The tenant simply needed prior approval for signage under the lease terms, which he didn’t apply for. But he got lots of attention, he sold lots of flags and everyone still gets to hate the landlord. Absolutely hilarious.

I noticed two days ago a local business owner was making his landlord a target for hate.  The Tenant Liberty Firearms sells firearms and flags and he put up on Landlord’s property several large black/blue flags with his business name that he  said were to support law enforcement. Tenant went to social media and the press, saying the Landlord asked that flags be removed. He said the Landlord doesn’t support law enforcement and that his constitutional rights were violated. Not knowing the lease terms nor the other side of the story, I didn’t speculate, but he got the local gun crowd all up in arms against the landlord for two days. Today the real story comes out — the problem was simply that the lease stated a protocol for presenting signage for approval and the tenant failed to do that. As soon as he did that, he got approval.  But he got to milk it in the media for days, give misleading info on video and sell lots of flags. Watching the comments unfold on the community Facebook pages gave me real insight into the mindset of neighbors ready to jump to conclusions, take one person’s story as true, gang up on the (perceived) opponent and incite action against the (in this case innocent) landlord.   They’d post inflammatory remarks and then delete them when challenged by the truth or the law. Sheesh, the extent someone will cast shade on another just to make a few bucks. Continue reading →

What if you knew that all the mean things you say to people you feel have offended you come right back to you and your loved ones in the form of life problems and (what looks like) bad luck? Karma is simply bringing back around what you put in motion. And what if all you had to do to stop the momentum was to start being kind, begin giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, stop being so quick to judge a situation, and inform yourself about it first? What if instead of inciting friends to riot saying “Let’s put that mofo out of business,” upon hearing one (pissed off) side of a story, how about asking yourself, “What is it in me that is so offended and why? Is it possible I’m misunderstanding something?” How can I help diffuse this situation? How can I bring peace to this situation? How can I be of help?
Begin and see your problems fade away like smoke on wind.     Continue reading →

If you’d been told all your life that bunnies would hunt you down to attack and kill you and rape your mother and children, you’d grow up afraid of them, and wanting to get them before they got you, right?

We’re evolving, slowly but steadily. People who are afraid of other cultures, races and genders have been taught fear. They have lived a life of extremely limited real world experience, often in a small town with little cosmopolitan influence.  They only know what the fearful ones around them have told them is true.  The following question helped me understand how fear is birthed and how racism comes to be. “If a person spent the entirety of their life inside of a pitch dark cave being told every day that the sun was a source of evil, how would they feel after being dragged into daylight? The racist south wasn’t something that appeared overnight...” It’s not easy to change your mind about what your folks told you to discriminate against. They believed they were keeping you from harm by keeping “them” out.    Continue reading →

“Sanders hasn’t officially conceded – something the mainstream papers and TV news pundits have still not bothered to mention. While Sanders had endorsed Clinton and relinquished his Secret Service protections – he has not dropped out of the race or freed his delegates. He will still be going to the Philadelphia convention. It’s still not too late.”  The Sanders Endorsement Backfires on Hillary Clinton
