"Imagination is a flame that ignites the creative spirit.  Imagination lights up your mind by stoking mental fires.  It can be stimulated from the outside through the senses, or from the inside through the driving power of curiosity and discontent.

Imagination stimulates your thinking power by giving your mind abundant data with which to work.  It opens the gate to dreams and fantasies so that you may become receptive, as a little child, in exploring the Kingdom of Ideas.

Imagination guides you in your contacts with individuals and crowds, so you can discover new concepts and approaches.

Imagination inspires you to look at everything with fresh eyes, as though you had just come forth from a dark tunnel into the light of day.  Imagination becomes for you a magic lamp with which to search the darkness of the unknown, that you may discover new goals or chart more productive paths to old goals.

Imagination helps you to recognize the reality of facts, but then to go beyond them, to penetrate beneath them, to rise above them in your search for creative answers to problems.  Imagination "stirs up the gift of God in thee."  Through your imagination you touch and express the inspiration of the Infinite.  Imagination, in the words of Shakespeare, "gives to airy nothing a local habitation and a name."  You reach into the heavens to grasp an idea, then you bring it down to earth and make it work."

I invite you to join me now in this short Metta Prayer
Radiating the energy of peace and love out to all living beings

Take a few deep breaths to clear your mind
And focus on the here and now
This present moment

Now
Breathe in
Filling your being with peace and love
As you begin each line, breathe out slowly
Breathing these thoughts into the world
Reading, thinking, and feeling the words with peace and love
Sending them from your heart

Giving the energy to yourself and to all living beings
Breathe in and repeat the process for each line

Namaste

Humility is vastly undervalued in our modern Western culture. It is a prevalent belief that humility is fine for the pious or holy, but in the "real" world it won't get you very far.  Many people consider pride and aggressiveness as virtues and humility as a weakness.  This may be because they don't understand the meaning of humility.  They may equate humility with self- debasement and a sense of inferiority when, in fact, this is not true humility.  Actually, the opposite is true.  Most really great people are humble.  Those among the most respected who have ever lived acknowledge that their greatness came, not from their personal self, but from a higher power working through them.


~John Marks Templeton

The word humility comes from "humus", the Latin word for "earth."  A person who is humble, in other words, knows the stuff--earth--of which they're made:  a talent here, a weakness there, a degree of complacency here, a blunder there.  Humble persons know what they are and what they aren't, what they have and what they don't have, and they never confuse the two.

Never will I allow myself to become so important, so wise, so dignified, that I forget how to laugh at myself and my world.  In this matter I will always remain as a child, for only as a child am I given the ability to look up to others; and so long as I look up to another I will never grow too long for my cot.

Let's DANCE!!!!!

What a feel good song!!!


In Simone Biles' floor routine in the Olympic Games
There was a short clip of this song in her music
I was immediately drawn to it but didn't know what it was
So after some searching
I found out her music was taken from the film, Rio
I listened to the songs from the album on YouTube
Until I finally found it
So here it is
Great to get some moves on
So get up! And shake your booty with me!
(I urge you NOT trying to do her floor routine at home)

So many brilliant and gifted people squander their gifts because they lack the humility of self-understanding. When we think we know it all, we miss the point. When we think we know everything about ourselves, we show our ignorance and our arrogance. The wonder of human beings is that we are constructed in such a way that we can spend our entire lives exploring our inner universe and its connection to the universe as a whole and still barely scratch the surface.
                  
We are a wonder for us to behold.

~Anne Wilson Schaef

~*~
                 
You are goodness and mercy and compassion and understanding. You are peace and joy and light. You are forgiveness and patience, strength and courage, a helper in time of need, a comforter in time of sorrow, a healer in time of injury, a teacher in times of confusion. You are the deepest wisdom and the highest truth; the greatest peace and the grandest love. You are these things. And in moments of your life you have known yourself to be these things. Choose now to know yourself as these things always.

Hey Sweetie,

Happy Friday!
Happy Happy Happy
I hope you realize the joy
That resides within you

Whew! Am I glad the weekend is here
I am going to rest
Watch some Olympics
And just zone out

If you want to see a man obsessed
Just watch me when I hear some music I like
And don't know what it is!!!
While watching the Women's Gymnastics last night
There was one little fifteen second clip of a song
In Simone Biles' floor routine music
I HAD to Find It!
It took some time, but I found it!
Whew!
So that is what we will listen to today.
I hope you'll dance along with me

I wish you a most beautiful day
