"Do not negotiate who you are."

-Brené Brown

Paraphrasing a story in The Bible, Lord Jesus was standing on the water amidst a storm at sea, calling to Peter to come to him.  Peter's boat had capsized and he was swimming for his life, direly surrounded by the monstrous waves.  When the illuminated Jesus opened his arms and beaconed, Peter too rose above onto the water, and walked toward the light.  There appeared a sense of peace and calm, despite all the surrounding chaos.

As soon as Peter took his attention off Jesus, and came into disbelief as to his walking on water, he crashed back down into the roaring tides.

Today marks the zenith of that connectedness between this world and the Divine.  Whether we are religious or not, there is a Force that guides us toward our goals and inspirations, if only we reach out without ego.  This means, just as the story of Jesus and Peter, we too must surrender our human mindedness, and trust in our intuition; allowing the Universe to work through us towards progress and achievement.  We can choose to be open to the idea of feeling better and vibrating higher.  May we find it in ourselves to make that decision today.

Thank you and good night.

P.S. Today, the date appears the same worldwide, regardless if we use MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY.

P.P.S. Whether we support the idea of war or not, Veterans Day or Remembrance Day commemorates many of those who have decided to do something noble with their lives; many at the cost of their own.

el Día de los Muertos: A New Earth

 "To express yourself in freedom, you must die to everything of yesterday. From the 'old', you derive security; from the 'new', you gain the flow."

-Bruce Lee

While we celebrate those who have transitioned, it is also a reminder that we die every night, and are reborn the next day.  Whether we choose to embrace the concept or not, it is reality.  When we engage in our "usual" thing, that is out of habit, and thus our karma.  To break the cycle, if we want to, is to firstly be willing to change for the better.  

I get it.  We just had our first Lunar Eclipse and our energy is either all over the place or completely drained.  Whatever it is, we ought to look in the mirror now, and sincerely ask ourselves what it is that we want.  Without this realization or awareness, we could very well be at the end of our lives bewildered and confused.  It doesn't have to be that way.  We can choose to work towards that upgrade; to be that better version of ourselves.

AMOR FATI 

MEMENTO MORI

Thank you and good night.

P.S. Let us not take for granted if we are to wake the next day.  Many on the planet will not.
