Love With No Place To Go

These words resonate and bring back the years after our daughter's left home which was my most acute experience of this so far.  I vividly remember the sense of vast amounts of loving energy overflowing everywhere as it simply had nowhere else to go.  KAS

Indifference

Some of us are so fortunate we take things for granted.  Things like clean running water, relatively pure air and relatively decent food to eat.  Things like freedom, and living in a country based on the rule of law.  May we not squander these gifts with indifference.  May we do all we can to preserve them.  KAS

Do Everything You Can

"With every hand clasped together, our chains break and our grip tightens."

Inspiring words to wrap around our hearts and souls in gratitude to those standing strong and doing all they can for our benefit.   Happy Thanksgiving.  KAS

PS:  Please be sure and read Heather Cox Richardson's post today.

Kindness

Shattered by kindness is a special kind of beauty.  Kindness and integrity are often hidden behind well-crafted storylines and dramatic soundbites.  May we all have eyes to see what is true and good and just.  KAS

Longer Memory and More Votes

And she's been warning us for some time now that we need to get our act together.  KAS

Things Merely Change Form

What a wise woman she was decades ago!  It's inspiring to know she is still part and parcel of this world through her writings.  KAS

A Peaceable Economy

Wisdom and Courage

And sometimes, you don't have to improve your life but simply enjoy and be grateful!  Sending out wisdom and courage if you need it!!  KAS

Survival is the Exception

My full-hearted hope is our Republic and our planet be the exception.  I beg all citizens to pay attention to what is happening.  KAS

Saving the Environment

I think it has to do with those who profit from NOT saving the environment inside and outside the government.  KAS

Truth

Sooner rather than later, please.  KAS

Views

It becomes rather simple when you think of it this way.  KAS

Every Bit of it is for Love

Man oh man, I need to remind myself of this minute by minute.  Every bit of it is for love.  And this kind of persistent, unwavering attention to what is right, to love, to decency, to kindness, is no small feat.  KAS

The world needs our good

I will focus on doing what good I can, as best I can, whenever and wherever I am.  That may be something so simple as a smile or a nod to a stranger.  KAS

You May Be The Light

 Shine on my friends!  KAS

Your Thoughts Run Your Life--What Do You Hope For?

This is the best description I've read about where I am and how I choose to live.  I'm not always running in the hallways and sometimes I can't touch either wall but it's always where I'm aiming.  KAS

Yugen

If you've experienced it, you understand.  KAS

Thoughts Run Your Life

Where have your thoughts been lately?  Mine slip into the ditch more than I care to admit.  It's humbling to discover where they land with me in tow.  I'm learning it's important to contemplate (and feel) the emotions that put them there before rinsing them off and rebooting the network.  KAS

Use Your Energy To Believe

Keep your best possible hopes on your mind as much as you can.  Worry, anxiety, and fear are always at the door trying to steal your joy.  Banish them!  Believe in goodness, kindness, and decency.  You are a treasure and the world needs you.  KAS

Light Your Darkest Room

How's that for taking the fun out of things?  Wishing you the courage you need to approach the darkness in your own way in your own time.  KAS

Rumble with the Truth

An expansion of an earlier message with Brene' spice added.  I'm about rumbling with the truth!  KAS

Be Teachable

And you're not always wrong.  "Choose wisely."  (From Indiana Jones The Last Crusade) KAS

Books

Perhaps this explains my life long love of reading.  It is rather like a magic carpet ride.  Certain books have changed the course of my very life!  KAS

The World Was Made To Be Free In

I have some rebellious thoughts about this. Does this apply to someone or something who agitates and provokes your reptilian instincts to do harm?  I'm thinking not.  KAS

Be The Light

Encouraging and challenging words for tumultuous times.  KAS

Paying Attention

Hmm, I'm thinking some of us keep it bottled up as a coping strategy?  It doesn't mean we're not paying attention. Frozen in horror maybe?  KAS

Something worth celebrating

As somewhat of a coward, I've turned back from that unknown path a time or two.  I'm still going to celebrate.  KAS

You Are Free

With so many fears piled up inside, getting to the deepest one is challenging.  I wonder if we all share a version of the one that says we're not enough just exactly as we are?  KAS

Find Your Own Lane

 What if it's not about winning but simply doing you in your best possible fashion without causing intentional harm to others and without worrying about winning anything other than your own self-respect?  KAS   Note:  I was unsuccessful in my search for the author of this quote. 

SuperPower

This reminder is helpful for those times we get tangled up in harmful thoughts embedded in us when we weren't aware of what was happening.  YOU are your superpower.  (Happy Birthday to my firstborn daughter!) KAS
