I’m tired
I’m sad
I’m sad so many friends are seriously sick and/or dying
I’m sad so many politicians would rather destroy people than debate ideas.
I’m sad that we’re still killing people all over the world in the name of war.
I’m sad that we think you can win a war.
I’m sad that 70% of the women in Ghana are still disfigured through genital mutilation (FGM)
I’m sad that our politicians think they should impose their beliefs on the rest of us
I’m sad that CEOs make 200 times what their workers do and their salaries increased 13% while salaried workers only rose 4%
I’m sad that too many men still think they must control women to be truly “a man”
I’m sad that we’re destroying life on this planet
I’m sad that love hurts
I’m sad people are homeless, education is biased towards the rich, food deserts are real
I’m sad clean water, air and a healthy planet are not a priority
I’m sad I can’t always see the gifts I’ve been given
I’m sad because I still think I should be able to fix things
I’m sad because I don’t know what to do
I could go on, but I know I’m missing the whole truth
There are good people every where
There are kind and compassionate ones who volunteer their time, talent or treasure to benefit others
God, Divine intelligence and Divine Love, is everywhere in everyone and in everything.
I need to remember I’m not in charge of the Universe (thank goodness)
But I can choose to Love…have a reverence for all life and remember to respect the life in front of me
And maybe, the most important thing…. I can just Smile more

I’m heartbroken. I’m cynical and jaded. I’m tired of tolerating ignorance and self righteous stupidity in the name of living in a man’s world. I’m disgusted with unconscious entitled people who fear and hate females using sex as a weapon to harm and weaken them. I’m excited to realize many people are becoming awake to these situations. I’m done with ignoring how religion blinds people to their own inner spiritual Beings. I’m willing to self correct and let love shine through me I’m speaking my heart and mind with courage and kindness. I’m tired of complacency and people pleasing. I’m living with a purpose of being present in the moment and trusting my body. I’m doing only what I really want. I’m leaving people with the felt knowledge that I love them. I’m alive and I feel all my feelings with great intensity. I trust goodness to rise and to envelope us all. I know the divine God within me and I talk and listen from that holy grail place in my heart center. I trust my self to follow Gods inner guidance to me. What else is there that matters more? Live and live fully
And you have a beautiful smile Barbara 🌝
I don’t pay attention to politicians, but I engage more with the people and ideas that are important. I’m focusing on the beauty in the world, and there’s a lot there if we weed through the negativity to find it. I enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning and reflect and think grateful thoughts. You have a warm and welcoming smile and that goes a long way.
Thank you, Barb. Your wisdom is heartwarming. And yes, your smile is radiant!
Your smile is a well of kindness and light. I am grateful for the gift of it in my life. It is a buoyancy.
