Oldest is back from camp

 Sigh, it was a quiet week...bike riding, treat runs, cleaning, napping, twisting hair, watching movies, and gaming together...it felt almost unproductive for the most part...until today. The oldest has returned with his whirlwind of chaos, and "balance" is restored

And now, I see the good work that was put in last week as we struggle to get the basics done ... wouldn't have it any other way #thankyouGod #catchingup #swordfights #RLmariosbros #brothersdistracted #quiettimeanddevo #oneanotherlove

Poem - Love first

Good morning! I have been sitting in...silence. Not sure what to say...not sure what to share...but one little voice called out...many little actions make a shout! And it said,  they did not know to care enough...that in the smallest of moments you CAN invest wholeheartedly and receive in return a hundred fold of miraculous joy and wonder.  But underneath all our have-to's and must, are many wanting hearts turning to dust because WE choose...to lose that which is of greatest value...one another.  OPEN up your LIFE to the great in and of and through. What matters most is not POC, this-tthat or black or white ...it IS me AND you . #onanotherlove #thankyouGod #timeforBold #sawubona #grieving #heartswideopen #jumpin #LOVEfirst

I am on fire today

 That's right!! Today is just one of those days...on point! Curious quiet time...check! Lounge with my gamer son and strategize. ..check! Get dressed in an awesome colour-blocked outfit and ROCK mi culta'!...check! Get errands done in a flash...check! I think I need to go for a strut...I mean walk to cool off, 'cuz I am on fire today LOL

Be diverse in your interactions

 

This is how I grew and continue...to enjoy life I love the awe-someness of #oneanotherlove

Summer science fun with friends

 Shooting bottle rockets in the air (for free....thank you Telus world of science), exploring old buildings I used to play at when I was a kid, climbing trees, getting fart bombed, and to top it off, raspberry picking in the 'hood....oooo, this is summer fun

Awe and wonder are Divine gifts

 Good morning! I woke with the intention to thank God and to consider Awe and wonders...great and small. In turn I was thanked for enjoying such things and allowing God to share in it with me.

When creating can happen in an instant, we ARE the pause and reflection upon such great works.

Smelling roses will be sweeter today

Respect. It comes from intention first.

In a discussion with a man about his concern for the care (or the lack thereof) that the government provides to the homeless, I experienced a wonderful "first" moment....they asked me "How would you refer to peoples of your ethnic expression? Is saying 'Black' ok?"

Yes, yes it is. It comes from your intention first...it's also cultural reference

I made a friend today

 I made a friend today

Not the kind where you say that you should connect and take numbers and such...This friend...we have been in each other's head and heart space for years and never realized the EXTENT of our like-mindedness until our subtle hello turned into an hour chat about everything in life...including Life itself! This, is one of my neighbours. She has watched my boys walk by her place many times...she is brilliant and multi-faceted, and I am so blessed for even the opportunity that today provided.

We will be collaborating shortly, as iron sharpens iron, and I am excited to see how much we will grow. And for now, we get to enjoy each other as neighbours

"Allow forgiveness. "

 Good morning,! This is the short version... "Allow forgiveness. " ...of self, of others...of whatever you are choosing to blame, guilt yourself of, or assume and take on as your point of view...

Your choices come with greater value and fruits if you allow them, and that includes forgiveness.

(After holiday parties and treats, we could all use some )

Poem - Simple

As I was hoping to write something profound for Canada Day this morning on Facebook,  I found that what I wrote instead stood alone as a beautiful poem, so here it is...


Simple...

On rainy mornings like these, I look to see what pondering and reflections I get to experience. ..and lately, it has been quite simple. I have been in observer mode I guess. Creation expressing and proving itself as defined...fires burning (in many ways), and the smoke hazing the horizon...people trying to peg my racial profile (LOL almost everyday) to one gene pool and geographic location and I just laugh at how I cannot be simply defined or described...that Infinite Wonder sits pretty like a bow in my hair...marking me Sacred... the mysteries and greater parts of a bigger story that we are....beyond trivial pursuits. But there seems to be fun (and distraction) in the trivial and perhaps that is why we chase it so.

Thank YOU for calling out and living life and continually unfurling the edge of infinity...oh, if only we knew that We Are....
