Adventures of "Inspiration and Freedom"

Who I am is the possibility of "Inspiration and Freedom."

I recreate myself every day with the affirmation, "Who I am is the possibility of inspiration and freedom." I do this from nothing, with no agenda or attachment. I do it with commitment, though and I am a stand for Inspiration and Freedom for the planet...really.

What's interesting is how things are starting to show up in my life that I was not expecting.

Yesterday, for no reason, completely out of the blue, a wonderful, lovely woman acknowledged me for who I was to the community and gave me a sincere hug!

Neither of us had anything to gain from the exchange but we clearly have a background of relatedness now that exists because of who I was "being" and who she was "being."

Consider that: possibility for opportunity only exists in a background of relatedness.

“The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.”

Ayn Rand quote

Do you have a daily affirmation? What is it? Does it relate to who you are for the world? How has it affected your life?

What a Remarkable Guy...

I met with the husband of the woman who died. This is the 6th anniversary of her passing.

We spoke for 2 1/2 hours. It was good for both of us, I think.

I hope he will add his comments.

He asked me if I remembered her and if I remembered speaking to him. I have a vivid recollection... He acknowledged my conversation from back then, saying I was honest and forthcoming.

It appears I have long known that clear, honest communication is always better than denial.

Bad news is an unavoidable feature of life. People can handle bad news better than chaos and uncertainty.

Compassion triumphs over adversity,
Brings power and protection.
Heaven always arms its leaders
With the strength of compassion.
(Tao, 67)


After the fashon of the changing seasons, within every crisis lies an opportunity.

How have you faced crisis?
