Authenticity Under Fire

Lately I have become aware of a lot of buzz around the word, ‘authentic.’ In a world populated by so much that is false and not what it appears to be, we long for the ability to trust that some things can be real and true. Ensuring that someone is who they say they are [...]

Here’s a Clue to A Closely Guarded System for Generating Cash

Have you heard of the guy from Canada who took a red paper clip and in 14 trades ended up with a house? Well, I want to share with you a similar scheme to teach average, every day people to make $100,000 starting with absolutely nothing. You have heard the expression, “it takes money to [...]

Web Writing Resources for You

  Here are some cool resources that writers might find useful that I thought I’d share that I’ve been collecting for the past few weeks. The first two I learned about on Stephen Pierce’s DT Alpha Talk Back podcast. It’s one of my fave new personal development/online business podcasts. Go take a look at serph.com, where [...]

Seeking Balance

Trying to balance a moonlighting writing gig alongside a regular 9-5, raising three children alone and trying to squeeze in a social life has been kicking my butt lately. I have a distinct vision of the kind of lifestyle I would like to have, but the present moment is so far removed from that vision [...]

Qassia. . .Come to Mamma

I found Qassia and I’m trying it out and seeing how effective it is. It’s basically another directory which is free to join where you can create backlinks for your blog and generate Adsense income. Qassia gives you credit for adding ‘intel,’ which is basically short snippets of info that will be useful to someone. [...]

About Me:
I am a woman, a citizen of the world, a precious spirit seeking temporary expression in human form. Sprung from the Spirit of the Creator of the Universe, I am here to learn, to teach, to create, to express, to encourage to love, to forgive and to never, ever give up hope.

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." So, I say speak up and speak out on those little injustices that you witness. Silence is the language of complicity.

An unknown wise person once quipped, "Change is the essence of life. Be willing to surrender what you are for what you can become." And so I am on the path of change, growth and personal development. I am learning to let go of the pain of the past so that I will have the capacity to handle all of the blessings that are on their way.

Peace.

Make Friends, Make Money, Makes Sense!
Earlier this week I was watching Jim Carrey, whom I love dearly, on the Oprah show plugging his new movie, Horton Hears a Who. He was talking to Oprah about his life and he said something that made me sit back and say, "Wow." He said, "I am Heaven." He talked about how heaven is not someplace outside of ourselves that we must strive to reach. Heaven is within each of us. We are, each of us heaven. And then I was visiting Barack Obama's web site and I saw this quote, "We are the people we have been waiting for." These two phrases have been percolating in my spirit this week. Then last night I had a heart to heart talk with someone I love dearly who is feeling a bit frustrated with where his life is right now. The first part of the piece is inspired by his bit of angst. This morning on my walk to work, this poem spilled out of my mind. So, I share it with the world.

I am Heaven

I trudge along
but my feet make no progress
I labor with no result
effort produces nothing more than a well worn rut
my heart aches in its lonliness
It longs to feel that deep connection
with another heart
I question my life
its meaning and purpose
before I reach the brink
the still small voice brings me back
it reminds me that I am heaven

I am heaven
I am an instrument of the divine
I am peace seeking its fullest expression
with a thought I create a world
my mind is a womb
nurturing ideas
bearing the fruit of my intentions

I am heaven
I echo the wisdom of the sages
I am filled with the enthusiasm
of a child
my feet have grown wings
to carry me forward
my heart has re-discovered its eternal connection
to the divine
now it no longer yearns but abides in joy

I am heaven
I live in the flow
I am a hollow reed
the shadow has no hold on me
freedom is my birthright
my destiny I complete

I am heaven
I am the one I have been waiting for

Candace


my name is Candace

inside there's an angel,
trying to come out,
with wings on my back
a hay lo on top,
extending my hand ,
to make you my friend,

the world is so cruel,,
the lack of understanding,
blinds them to the fact.
i am a precious jewel,

narrow minded and fear ,
all they see is a cocoon,
who are they to judge me
ugly what is the meaning ,
when beauty is only skin deep,

if you took the time to know me,
i would open your eyes to see,
all wonders of life,
the true meaning of paradise,

but you waste so much time judging a face,
not caring to look past the tear trace,
why do you fear when you can understand,
i am a person who loves,who feels,
who needs ,who wants,
to be somebodies friend,

so when i approach you,
my name is not monkey girl
in a world of surface thrills,
you can not see the beauty within,
the rivers ,mountains oceans sky,,
or hear the sounds of a humming bird in flight,
birds singing butterflies fluttering ,
peacocks colors strutting ,

i am so much more ,
my name is not monkey girl,
my soul,my spirit ,my heart,
my mind ,is so pleasing in Gods sight,
as the angels dance they call my name,
my name,my name is Candace,,for a friend wizthom
i plan to donate 30% of book sells on our little angels behalf,
mimi author candace publishing who is a member will be doing the inspirational book,,yes ur photos will be in it as w
