I feel like I'm yelling right now... sorry! Don't mean to, if that's the energy you would pick up. With Good Spirits and humor, I'm Not yelling. I'm Happy. I'm Looking Forward to Doors of Opportunity that would come to me. Holding Space for that.

I put away almost all my Christmas decorations now... except one last small colorful string around this computer. I might save it till New Moon Aquarius time. Or Valentine!

In case they were in ref to me, I'm not experiencing grief or losses over lovers at all. When I said I had resolved things a year or more-Plus, I really had. If it was ref to me, it could have been projection that they need to look at.

Music is a Powerful Bridge... Understandable that things could get confused. Just like words are powerful?, Music is just as Potent for carrying the energy and emotion FOR the words. I completely understand... With a Loving Heartedness. No problem there.

I'm still chipper and enjoying who I am very much, warts and all. Over these past weeks, I've come to appreciate myself more... I give myself MORE credit now that ever before. So ready to doubt myself (as a person), to wonder if the good-parts don't count as much as my weaknesses.

.... I'm not a bad person--- and Truly, deep inside I think that's resolved in me. I've had gnarly things happen to me. And when things like that happen to you?, the things that happen to you don't define you-- it's how you dealt with it, it's the person who goes down, but then comes back up and is STILL alive!, and still has the tiniest blippy-beep of thought of Hope still there, as starter-spark.

I wanted everything to be the best in the worst possible situations. Didn't always make the best decisions (over lifetime), but they were the Best I could do. Always. I've Always held a spirit of Excellence-- in mistakes, and in victories.

Assessing end of life?... I'm a Better person than I ever thought I could turn out to be.... (thank you God!). All God wants is for you to TRY. To TRY to do things the Right way. That's all....... A Willing Heart. Cultivate and desire to have a Teachable spirit. Just decide that, for yourself quietly. Just ask.... God comes through. A Willing Heart..... just be willing.

I feel a wholesomeness. I feel depths, and deep humility. And,.... I give myself a Boost today. Not in an ego-way, but, just 'me'... Looking at the whole package. I've worked soooo hard, and continue doing so.... Every once in a while, you need to take a long view, and appreciate God's Hand in your life.... Amazing Journey, Lord! ... It was sooooo hard, but I still made it! ... I'm sitting here typing at a keyboard. Roof over my head. Still IN my Right Mind.

I'm more satisfied with who I am than probably at any other time of my life. Sure, there are always improvements to be made. (And things and circumstances to work out in my daily life. But I don't always have control over those things... ) It's like I trust me soooo much more 'as a person'.... I'm high caliber.

I say this today.... In hope that if there are Others reading this, who NEED that Vibe, that they can Reach that and Find where that could be in themselves, much more easily now.

If I, after sooo many sorrows and griefs, (and there are things I still process), can come up for air, and find myself at a plane like this.... then it is my Wonderful Privilege to be able to give you Hope, and let YOU know that You Can Do This! .....
{{{You Can. You Can Do This.}}}

*awww gosh, now I'm crying again... and Laughing!!!!... I just CARE soooo Much!!! And, I just Love your Soul... Whoever you are.... Whomever it is I touch with these words.... Even if we've never met.... I can Serve you today by Telling you these words----

You are sooooo Special.

RECEIVE that Today! If no one in your life has ever said it... Then I say that to YOU, NOW!!! Own it. {{{{hug!}}}}

I Love to Give to you like this....
It's my VERY Special Honor to do so.
You can secret this DEEP in your Heart and DEEP way-deep within.

I Love You, and I Care for Your Soul... even without knowing 'who' you are, I can sense....

You never 'just exist' ... You are Someone Special. *breathe*

God Cares About You. He made me, so that He could tell you that today, about yourself....

You Are Completely cherished, and Loved.

Be Ye extremely warmly Hugged!!!!!!!

The message of this post is
Sent With Love to people who feel like Special Friends to each other Everywhere...
We Hold Each Other In Love.

Saw a program on TV News about John Lewis, and the experience of Birmingham Bridge... These people were beat up bloody, and he woke up in a hospital, cared for by nuns till they all made a fortunate recovery.

They were crossing the river... to go fight for the Rights of Blacks to be able to VOTE as fully worthy citizens of the United States of America...

Voting is the 'Key' that unlocks the Door of Opportunity for ALL Americans to voice what they need or prefer for their Life and Well-beingness on many levels...

Each individual's voice should Count, and have an effect on the rules and Laws made in this country. Careful Checks and Balances, Fairness... was built into the Constitution.

Attempts to obstruct or defeat this should be taken quite seriously...

So interesting what's going on right now, with current events.... in light of transiting Sun's annual CONJUNCTION to USA Pluto Capricorn in H2 of What we VALUE? ... Right on time for Martin Luther King.

tKing is ON the Sun-to-Pluto today!

May we CHOOSE the Higher Road Expression.

Martin Luther King, Jr, with others, helped us bridge the Gap towards a more Ideal America. The Right to Vote and Live the same DREAM as the Haters who held unequal power, who stoop to inflict social humiliations, and Persecutions.... even to Loss of Life and BLOODSHED. My God, My God!!!

Vestiges of these times-past still remain in the News today.

We're not 'where we were'... We have MANY role-models to thank and applaud on the Anniversary.

But we have a LOT more sailing and navigating to do on the Seas of Compassion... before we can truly rebuild strong Foundations for our Nation, and towards a Safer and Hopefully More-Humane and Stable Healthy World for ALL to enjoy in the Future.

I wished 'happy birthday' to several people, then poured my thanks Love and Gratitude to some in my life.

My post of Gratitude may have vanished... but the energy did not.

Thanking those that say I still have a Future to look forward to... That things may be delayed, but not denied.

Some people use words like 'I couldn't have done it without your support'.... This is MORE true now, than at ANY of all the time I've been at LL.

And some of you... I've known for a Jupiter's Age.

I appreciate your contribution to my life, and for the regeneration of my life. Without your Love, prayers, good energy, encouragement and support --(and rm letting me stay here)-- I would not be alive.

It's the truth. And I realize that.

(music) Now We Belong (John Wykoff composer, Michael D. Browne lyrics; perf by Missouri St Univ Chorale, USA 45th Presidential Inauguration Ceremony, Jan 20, 2017) [1:29] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwsl71NY-m0

Music can shift atmospheres.... The performance started with a wobble (rogue soprano?) but then recovered. The music is 'atonal' and this performance was unfortunately cropped short... The very BEST part of their performance came afterwards.

The Missouri State University Chorale performed an original work, "Now We Belong," written by Minnesota poet Michael Dennis Browne and composed by John Wykoff.
(CNN News)

POEM...

Here are the voices of every creature,
Here are the calls of every heart;
Here is the place of strangers' welcome,
We who once walked in strangers' shoes.

Once we were strangers,
We were welcomed,
Now we belong and believe in this land.

Here are the rivers of many echoes,
Here are the leaves of every tree;
Within us live the long horizons,
Winds that stir the sacred stones.

Once we were strangers,
We were welcomed,
Now we belong and believe in this land.

Keep faith, keep watch,
Take heart, take courage,
Guard mind, guard spirit,
Feed love, feed longing.

Here are the cities where we have gathered,
Here are the barns where hope is stored;
We are the gleams of every being,
Filled with the dreams that build the day.

Once we were strangers,
We were welcomed,
Now we belong and believe in this land.

Keep faith, guard mind,
Take heart, guard spirit,
Take courage, keep watch,
Feed longing, feed love.

There's a dangerous storm heading our way in a few hours.... If you don't see me for a day or more, probably means we lost power, etc.

Wishing Everyone in this Storm's path Good Luck, and Protection...

And for those who lost Buildings, towns, and lives (especially in some of the poorer areas).... May God give you Strength, a Sense of Solidarity and Cohesiveness, and the Miracle of Resources to ReBuild.
