Hello My Friends! I send my love and prayers to you and your loved ones! I know these are challenging times and our faith in whomever we praise is being tested.
We look upon the world and see and hear nothing but "negativity." It appears as if it follows and smothers our souls moment by moment. Our hearts and minds are simply "tired." What more is being asked of us? How much more of a burden can we carry? Who are we to lean on as we buckle under the pressure living ? What more is the Creator asking of us? What more can we ask of ourselves? The answer is simple...Be thankful!! Yes...be thankful despite what has occurred this year. Be thankful for the following:
Until the next time, Peaceful thoughts... Dorothea Hello My Friends! I hope you're safe and healthy with love surrounding you. During these times, health and safety are your most valuable possessions. Please don't take them for granted. Without good health...all else becomes irrelevant.
I know these are perilous times. I know many of you are experiencing the worst of human nature. However, what I do know and firmly believe is that we must not forsake our faith. Our faith is the currency of the spiritual world. Without our faith, we cannot barter for health, wealth and happiness. Without our faith, we cannot persist when the pebbles beneath our feet are pressing deeply and we feel we will simply STOP! We cannot stop. We must press on. The Ancestors and the Elders swept the roads as best they could and now we must continue to sweep for the generations behind us. Keep the faith that all will be well soon. Keep the faith that despite what you see...this image will pass. It will pass! Remember we're not the first to walk against walls of opposition. We are not the first to feel mentally exhausted. We are not the first! There have been multiple generations before us and until we as a collective people get it right...there will be many more. We must use the currency of faith. We must trade and barter to get to the "right side" of human nature. We must continue to believe that the Creator is bringing forth the next step in cleansing the world. We must have the faith that "good" will always prevail. We must have faith that the "eye is on the sparrow" and we must believe that the Creator watches us! We must keep our faith! Until the next time, Peaceful thoughts... Dorothea Hello My Friends! I hope and pray that you are doing well and those you love are safe as well.
Please enjoy this marvelous writing from Albert Camus a dear friend sent to me and continue to "push right back." Albert Camus - "In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. I realized, through it all, that in the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there's something stronger - something better - pushing right back." Stay safe and of sound mind my friends...the Creator will not let us down. Never has and never will! Until the next time, Peaceful thoughts - Dorothea John Lewis February 21, 1940 - July 17, 2020 "Good Trouble" Hello My Friends! I hope and pray that you and your loved ones are well. It's been quite an experience. Please be safe and take care of YOURSELF! Our world is different. Our life is different. We are different. This unseen force has wrecked havoc upon our hearts, souls and spirits. We have been fortunate to have never experienced the likes of this madness before. I pray that this will be the only time, ever! There isn't much that I can say except...Stay strong. Remain calm. Protect yourself. What I know for certain is that somewhere there is a rainbow and each day I continue to pray for the rainbow to appear. I found this video of Sarah Vaughan singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and thought it may add a small smile to your face...as it did mine. Enjoy! Until the next time, Peaceful thoughts... Dorothea Hello My Friends! I hope you and your loved ones are okay and you're being responsible to yourselves and to others. Our lives depend upon us making wise choices!
My message is simple this month: Stay safe and remain calm. Yes, the news of this virus is alarming and it can be challenging to follow the rules. However, please be responsible when you're around others and maintain social distancing. It's important...extremely important! None of us wishes to experience this worldwide crisis. Nor do we wish to be locked down in our homes. It's against our nature to remain still for hours at a time. Yet, it may be what we need. Maybe the Creator is allowing us time to reset out lives and most importantly our priorities. Quite possibly, we needed to refocus our lives and this was the only means that the entire world would listen. It seems rather harsh, however, the world may have needed this extreme measure. I don't have an answer as to why and I would not presume to have an answer. Yet, I am confident enough to say the following: Pray, Stay Safe and Remain Calm. Until the next time, Peaceful thoughts...
