Self-Sovereignty With Boundries Brings Evolution of Peace

If there ever was a year to be eternally grateful to be simple me, it is now.

Technology is grand, and I wouldn’t change a thing about its invention. It has enabled shadowy events around the world to be transparent and challenge the domination that undermines self-sovereignty. However, I am glad I gave myself an arsenal of knowledge to lean on by comparison. I developed my ability to determine facts from lies or religious programming. With Artificial Intelligence, we will all have to learn how to distinguish between facts and propaganda. If we do our research, we can.

When I was a teenager, studies that have paid off more than I knew included my reading of United States history, world wars,  learning the primary meaning of our U.S. Constitution, as well as what protecting free speech entails. Say what you will about the founders of the USA government, with all its flaws, it is the “ONLY GOVERNMENT in Earth’s evolution of humanity” that was a successful experiment allowing its citizens to prosper by their initiative without government interferance.

If you love your country, wherever you are in the world, if you love your state constitution, and your faith, good! If you believe in it, then stand up for it; elect new leaders who support your original constitution. Being proud of your heritage and traditions makes the world a more educated place of human evolution. Protect your peaceful traditions and country. Preserve the beauty of your faith and people. You will find a way to promote self-sovereignty if you never give up. The collective voice of reason will prevail as words without violence unite. Calm collaboration with open minds and hearts will bring harmony—no more violence.

We, the people of the world, simply want to live in peace and harmony alongside one another. It has always been so; therefore, we accelerate kindness and progress towards this goal.

 

I Brake for Turtles

Whenever I drive a back road to enjoy the countryside, I see a box turtle or snapping turtle crossing the road. I brake and stop my car. I wait patiently if there is no traffic so the turtle can cross to the other side.

If the road is busy, I put the flashers on and pick up the shell, taking it in the direction it is heading. I’ve been told that turtles know where the water is and instinctively head that direction.

The last two years have brought unexpected and unacceptable health challenges that have caused me to pause; I don’t get sick. It’s not in my schedule.

Our parents told my generation to push through pain, push through hard times. Push through sickness to work, get ‘er dun, no excuses, and we did. For the most part, this hard-core philosophy has served us well until now, in our old age. My body has brought challenges.

It’s ok to cuss and scream, to even curse at my body. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s move on to more productive actions. It’s taken a while, but I am heading towards acceptance with knee braces, a walker, or a cane for a couple of months. I am thinking of getting mental health therapy to help me cope with the changing lifestyle needs. The forecast is good, considering the life changes I must make.

The medical professionals I have encountered are patient, educated, and compassionate individuals from a younger generation, which speaks volumes about the potential for better healthcare in the future. The personal touch and genuine caring are evident and appreciated.

I brake for turtles; it is time to brake from my fast life so I can heal.  I love my life, I love you.

Women for Self-Sovereignty Every Month

Women worldwide create new roads of progress every generation.

One hundred years ago, a group of brave nature-loving women began Australia Melbourne’s Women’s Walking Club in 1921. Women bushwalking was forbidden, but they organized and agitated. Women had to endure male prejudice for not “knowing their place” in the home tending house.

Views of church leaders had this to say:

Archbishop Dr. Duhig vehemently condemned it! “The sight of women donning male’s garments is absolutely nauseating! It is most objectionable!”

Rev H. M. Wheller of the Methodist Church content himself with saying anything that breaks down the sanctity of the Lord’s Day, such as “Sunday Hiking” is not in the best interest of the community.

A visiting Jewish Rabbi commends the movement. The Melbourne Walking Club is alive today.

Indeed, women, when united, achieve great things. Today, in America, women have had the vote for one hundred years; in 1920, it was law. When women get involved, progress evolves.

We’ve come a long way; today, US men support women’s self-sovereignty. Indeed, it is an exciting time to be alive. We are grateful every day for every good thing in our lives.

Enjoy “Women’s History Month,” and remember to list the women in your life that made it great. There is much to be thankful for.  Perhaps take a walk in nature and breathe. 

The pH of Change

 The pH scale in medical science measures how acidic or alkaline basic something is. The pH of blood is 7.35 acidic to 7.45 alkaline. The blood is slightly more alkaline naturally. I used to think the body controlled the mind, and I had no control over my body. But I've discovered there are things I can do to heal my body. For instance, by reading books about maintaining good health, I found that lack of sleep and too many stressful thoughts can decrease the body's ability to balance the blood pH, making our bodies sick. Commonsense is to get more sleep, but what can I do about stressful thoughts? How do I heal those?

Then, I began to read books about maintaining mental calmness. Surprisingly, I proved that my mind is powerful; when I change my thoughts, I change my stress level. Our blood has to get the pH back into alignment to get well. What could I do to reduce stress?

When I was young and inexperienced in navigating life's challenges, I had many triggers. I looked at the prevailing current events and people telling me where to focus and judge. I allowed that information to tell me whether I was peaceful today or mad as hell. Then, I grew older and wiser. I stopped looking outside of me and trained myself to slow down, breathe, drink water, and walk in nature to turn off the world's noise.

This calmness helped me through the other side of fear and see the fear was worse than what happened. My fearful thoughts are dangerous for my health! Transparency no longer scared me but removed the fear of the unknown from me. When I understand stuff, I let go of fear. I love to research everything I fear, which results in confidence in ME and lowered stress. Bonus!

 Your life is a gift to the world. Enjoy it; life is short, so find happiness in every inch. 

Happy Moment! Happy New Year!

Here's what I've learned about New Year's resolutions: do not make promises to yourself that can fail.

Failure leads to guilt for letting yourself down. We need no more guilt, consciousness, or shame in this world. We have enough to forgive ourselves for. I am done with more guilt or shame!

This ridiculous digitalized world has captured the youth's attention and confused them into no longer recognizing common sense. Do these innocent lambs believe whatever they are TOLD to believe—ashamed of our color? Or guilt about gender? And now I am TOLD someone is telling them to take on the guilt and shame of the PAST mistakes of another generation of dead people! It appears to be working…

No thanks, I'm out! I'm too old and WISE to play that stupid game of hateful blame shame anymore.

Get outta here with such nonsense. None of us can change the past, common sense, but we can change the future for OURSELVES. Not others, but our individual future, common sense.

I thank common sense that I don't need to carry my phone everywhere and question my biology. I feel for those that do. I like a break from the madness of the world. I often sit by the river and stare at nature. What beautiful ice and snow! I'm thankful to have eyes and to make time to see nature. I'm grateful for this life.

It's time to take your mind back. Change your focus and go inside to relieve yourself from the pressure of social ideology and the constant need to perform work in this world to prove you are worthy to be here. Your answers are there when you are not operating out of guilt and shame. Fear has two sides: selfless and selfish. The balance is in between. You find yours, and I'll find mine. No violence is needed to do this.

So this New Year's Resolution is one that we can't fail; in fact, we can celebrate it moment by moment…

Set yourself up to win. Whatever you choose to believe as your perspective, stay focused on that. I suggest "avoiding things you can't control and staying focused on your life. Turn off anything that makes you afraid to explore and focus on things you can, your life, and your choices.

After sixty years, I have learned that I control nothing and no one. I've learned the actual war is inside m my head. Where is your battle? Out there or inside your head? Your perspective changes your world. It takes you from victim to victor. We all need boundaries to be safe from harm. We need safe perspectives that turn us into victorious winners.  We need to retain calmness to think of creative ideas to solve problems.

I love ordinary people worldwide; they are so generous and kind, especially in times of catastrophe, offering help to one another when governments do not.

How can we avoid getting into a physical war of words? Live moment by moment, stay in your business and out of others. "How can I help?" AND "I thank you for helping" are great words of peace.

Diversity unites us worldwide. Happy New Year!

"I Don't Know, I Don't Care"

The past year has been a whirlwind of unexpected losses and challenges. I have discovered in my elder years that we can never know why some things happen, and we need not worry our heads with extra stress to analyze things out of our control. Judgmental thoughts, angry non-stop thoughts, and punishing “how to fix others” conniving fear thoughts waste precious time on this Earth with family.

Our time would be better spent focusing on our internal gifts and how to share these with others. We are gifted, and if we look inside to find what motivates us to have fun, we find that gift.

Years ago, I heard a wise saying, “Find something you love to do and find a way to get paid doing it.”

I discovered that you first have to find that love of self and forgive yourself for not being kind to you. When you do, you can learn to speak well of others and forgive them too. When we share our best selves, it will be that gift we give to the world. Some may like it, and others may not. That is expected. Everyone does not need to like or accept us. If someone doesn’t want your gift, move on to find other friends. A few billion people are on the planet, and I bet a few will welcome you and your unique gift.

Once we know who we are and our birthright to be gentle and kind, we will not be so easily seduced to fade into the mentality of destructive behaviors. We must mind our business and let others mind theirs. Their journey is not ours to travel. Diversity unites us.

The elders who have successfully navigated these dangerous waters in times of toxic influencers must give the younger generation the tools to get back on track, stay focused, and serve others with kindness and compassion. Fear is a debilitating invisible control tactic; do not fall victim to it.

Thank goodness I have a wonderful life and family. I love my simple life. I bet I’d love you, too.

And about the so-called” Aliens in the sky…” I don’t know; I do know that open minds and hearts need no weapons.

The best response is to remain free and calm, focus away from toxic influencers who want to instill fear in you, and say aloud, “I don’t know, and I don’t care.”  

Happy Holidays!
