Beliefs

Was looking at a posting on group page of core beliefs in a hundred words or less.  Not as easy as one thinks really because for one thing…it makes us all have to sit down and be concise in our wording, as well as what the hell we really do believe in that would in … Continue reading

A few truths

Most would agree with the statement “truth is relative”..It essentially means that we all have a perspective on what is “true” and as such we tend to see things from that view.  But even in the midst of all that perspective, facts do not change.  if something is what it is, then one needs to … Continue reading

time and purpose

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3 a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, 4 a time … Continue reading

protection dream

Ever have a dream that seems so off the wall that it seemingly makes no sense?  We all have I guess, but I had one about protection that made me wonder just what I had eaten the night before to dream so lucidly and yet in such a bizarre manner.  That I was seemingly being … Continue reading

Bullying is a fact of life..it happens everywhere to everyone at one time or another.  But just because it’s always been around, does that mean that it has to stay this way?  I mean I know some who say that people get through and over being bullied while they were growing up.. really?  Then why … Continue reading

Ever wonder why people have this need to include fantasy in their lives?  Well, for one thing, it breaks up the mundane of our daily lives, and can help in our sexual release..but what about in a spiritual connection?  Now some would state that a belief in god, any god would be fantasy in itself … Continue reading

Boundaries

Boundaries…just the word alone brings to mind a partition of separation, a divide.  So why would we have those..should we have those.From a personal perspective, I have always had  boundaries .  I hate having my personal space invaded when I am working or doing things that require a lot of concentration.  I also dislike it … Continue reading

RECURRING DREAM

I have a recurring dream..I’ve had it for as long as I can remember.  It is always of a hoodoo woman in the swamps named Maman Celeste’.  She is a small woman, barely standing 5 foot tall, and her lithe body is often dressed in a colorful skirt that barely covers her bare feet.  Her … Continue reading
