Each and every day if my life I sit and ponder....  I think about the many steps that I have taken to be where I am today.  I think about the past and the meaning thereof.  I think of the present and where I am.  I think a lot, analyze or as I like to say just ponder...

Meditation has given me the ability to taking the thoughts and silencing them on the lowest level.  A lot of the pondering turns into a mantra in which I concentrate on which give me focus. As much as I have read and written I always think about the levels of life, of love, of living...

We are born to come in and experience whether it be in a spiritual, soulful or human experience.  We gravitate to our tribe and begin to create who we are....  Then we breathe and move forward to being all that we can be.  But, within that being when do you learn what your purpose and passion is....

How do you know that literally you are working on your own, authentic, original and priceless path of life.  When do you stand behind the podium of life and begin to speak letting your voice be heard.? 

When do you decide that the life that I am living is not the life that burns deep within.  When does the masquerade stop and the movie of your life begin?  When do you acknowledge that yes I am doing ______________ but my desire, passion and purpose is ___________!!!! 

When do we let the voice speak from within?  When do we take a step back and say to the world this is who I am?  

When do we step out on faith?

Obey the words from within?

Live the life we want?

Pursue the journey?

Unwrap the gifts?

Engage the passion?

And be the purpose?

The only reason why I ask is because I ask myself everyday?  Not in an obsessive kind of way but in a spiritual way?  God reveal my steps so that I can walk within the light that you have instilled in me? 

A very dear sister to me Denise Anthony took time to let me speak without interruption and as she listened with compassion she gave me this....

JEREMIAH 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you "Declares The Lord" plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  

These words resonated within and as it says I know and have plans for you.  That in itself speaks very profoundly.  With all that I do and become I believe that it all happens within time.  That we are equipped with a greatness within!  That we are intelligent and creative beings....  It is the revelation of the plans that gives us the hope and drive to trusting and believing that our purpose is viable. That our life is precious and that our legacy is PRICELESS...

No matter where you may be within your mind or the world.  Know that the higher power has plans for you.  For you to be given hope and and your future.  What you may be doing right now  may not be what you are suppose to do...

But within the fire comes the struggle, the breaking free and the rising. 

We are a strong people.  We are a proud people....

WE ARE THE SPIRIT THAT SPEAKS

THE VOICE THAT PROJECTS

THE SPIRIT THAT THRIVES

THE SOUL THAT FEELS 

WE ARE THE PLAN

THE PURPOSE

THE PASSION

THE GIFT

WE ARE OUR HOPE

WE ARE OUR FUTURE

WE ARE THE MEANS 

TO BE ALL THAT WE CAN

WE ARE ALL

WE ARE CHANGE

WE ARE...

THE NONEXISTENCE OF EXISTENCE WITHIN RESISTENCE

As in all things in life we tend to have a massive amount of EXPECTATIONS.  Expectations of ourselves, others, the environment, society and so forth.  Within the balance of life we can see it on a physical level or spirit based derived from our individual perception of spirituality.  

Always within expectation comes positive or negative which stems from how our minds perceive it to be.  Basically stemming from cause and effect,  right or wrong, good or bad!  

From my view as the many blades of grass forms upon this earth there will always be CHANGE. There will always be differences which may or may not taint the very existence that we journey upon each and every day.  

So I begin...

A long walk brought these thoughts to be as I am in the biggest change of my life.  From deep within I felt the sadness that surrounds me covering me like the very first blanket that was placed upon my skin at birth.  Covering me with warmth and a serene aura of bliss...my very own oasis.  

But, why am I searching for that feeling of comfort again...

Many seconds, minutes, hours, days and months have past and within my most trying time is also the most comforting time of my existence. 

As my soul cried out for the Mother of all ~ M O T H E R  E A R T H...

I set out on a quest in one day and began to put all the pieces of life back together again.  

With FAITH I set out with tiny baby steps that tuned into a quick pace and ended in a smooth stride.  

See upon Mother Earth there is no Nonexistence ~ There is only Existence.  

Every piece of nature must show up everyday and night...the sun, clouds, skies, stars, moon the entire Universe. 

A tree cannot take a day off to get it all together or to put things into perspective.   The trees cannot just lay down on the ground because they are tired from standing!  The trees must stand firm and sway to be beat of the wind and the soil that sustains them.  The grass can't just pick up and leave because it gets burned from the heat from the sun.  But, upon the seeds of life it can regenerate itself over and over again and become anew.  

All of the elements of Earth rejects resistance because it must exist and I must exist...

I must stand tall and welcome the beautiful sun that I AM.  

I must speak what I desire, dream, hope and visualize within my life.  

I must not resist the waves of change that comes upon my soul and washes my spirit.  

As nature prevails and thrives each and every day so shall I....

So as I sit upon the bench of life 

I plant my feet upon the EARTH to feel home again.

For I too am from the soil

From the Earth

Within the Universe

Shining bright as the Sun

For 

I Am...Dawn

SOCIETY SPEAKS

We live in a world that for some reason likes to dictate what and who we are to be.  It is with that very instance of the predetermining aspect that is the confusing factor of life for us all.  There was a time when I was younger that the brain was clear and there weren’t so many options or choices that we had to consume within our daily lives.   It was as they say “Black and White” as if it wasn’t one it was the other. 

The technology age has thrust us into a warp speed of growth.  There is so much before us that we really don’t have time to even grasp the notion of the many things that we see hear, feel and touch on a daily basis. 

With growth comes change and with change comes a new perception of what we feel is reality.  Many times I feel as if I am in a long tunnel that never ends.  I seem to get to what appears to being a light but that fades as I keep walking in search of the flame that burns bright….the star that shines in the night sky or maybe the light bulb of truth.

What separates the dark from the light and the light from the dark is within the eye of the beholder.    As I continue to grow and view the world from open eyes with no color, with onlythe view of humanity I learned to accept people as they are.  

I learned to accept the differences of what society deemed was acceptable and what wasn’t.  I learned that within our society being the same was a concept that was indoctrinated into our psyche from day one.  We are encouraged to be like which allows us to being accepted.  That weall wanted to be alike and if you weren’t like then you were not right.  

With that specific mindset which had been thrust upon my life I was shown in so many ways that every day I was destined to be like someone or something….

I can only imagine where I would be if I had a family structure that didn’t encourage individuality.  From the very beginning my mother let me know that not everyone is going to likeyou Dawn because you are very different.   There was an unspoken, unconditional knowing that she had and she was prepared to get that through to me.  She let me know that being the same is not being who I am.  She encouraged me to find my way and path while walking within the group but to also know that I am unlike the group in many ways.    She taught me not to think that I was better than anyone but that I was unique an Original and that there was no one ever like me.  A very big emphasis within my life even with me being different my mother and grandmother instilled humility.  To be humble no matter how pretty people said you were or how smart you may think you are. You must remain humble for your light to shine bright from within.  

With those words that seeped into my spirit I have always held my head up high, my shoulders back and stood super tall knowing that there is no one like me.  It didn’t make me special…It made me proud to honor who I am and to give thanks to the most high for caring enough of my spirit to creating me to being who I am.   And with that mindset I said that I will always honor the power from above and I will carry myself as…

A Child of the most high

A Queen of my very own existence

A shining star amongst the night sky

A Story to be told

A Power

A Energy

A being

I Am…Dawn

Even when society get louds and screams into your being do not let society dictate who you are or what you are to look or be like.  Do not let it tell you what you can and can’t do.  Do not let it tell you what job you should have, what you should drive, what house to live in or what country to embrace…

And please don’t get me wrong there is nothing wrong with having finer things “whatever that means” opposed to have dignity, passion, love and a drive to be all that you can be for yourself and give back to the world.  

What society doesn’t stress is that success is not all in the material things but knowing thyself.  You never let Society dictate your steps or journey in life.  If you have dreams to being whatever you want and you push yourself to getting there and it makes you happy then you are a SUCCESS! You are LIVING and BREATHING your PURPOSE!  If you truly know what your purpose and passion is and you give it back to the world nothing that society can say or even show you will make you part ways with what you EMBRACE as your TRUTH.  

The many years that I have gone through the “Universal University of Life” I have always held on to…

I AM Unique

I AM Original

I AM Special

I AM Love

I Am…

Anything that I put “I AM” in front of that is what I am to be….

Society creates the same cookie cutter emphasis on our lives but for the ones that step onto the Ledge of Life and leap you have truly found your voice in the world…

Faith comes in many forms but it eventually transforms into one... The ALL we know that exists within our lives speaks loudly to your spirit each and every day!    It is the POWER that guides our mind body and spirit upon our journey of life.  

The Father

Son

and the

Holy Spirit

The Trilogy

It was the gift of a son and with a new day the resurrection was brought upon our existence as he rose to give us new life.  To give of something so precious that God so loved the world to give of his begotten son.

With those words that gave me breath to breathe and to think what can I give on a daily basis to say thank you father for loving me...

Every day is a day of reflection but a washing anew for it is

The Energy

The Power

and

The Grace

Of life that keeps me focused on my passion and purpose

Would you have given a part of you to save us all?

When you think of how huge of a tasking that is I can't even imagine.  But, what I do know is that there is a power that surrounds us all, that allows us to sleep at night and to rise to see another day until our time expires upon this planet of existence.  As the sun rises and sets as the moon does the same we have a life that has been given to us to making a difference and living our lives in our highest and best good!  It is the trusting of yourself the passion of life and your purpose to give that keeps us focused on this gift of life that I have embraced.  So I will always be thankful and will always embrace faith!

He rises to give us what we are to give others and that is an unconditional LOVE, LIFE and EXISTENCE!

So each and every day when you wake from peace acknowledge the power of ALL!

Embrace the power of STRENGTH

Believe the Power of LOVE

and

Engage in knowing thyself…

We are living in a time where we are to embrace each and every one and give back for what was given to us and that is LIFE!!!

Live a Life of Peace!

Live Your Life On Purpose with Purpose!!!

THE SOUL EXPERIENCE

There was a time that we seemed to be in touch or in tuned with our being as in the connection between Body, Soul, Spirit, Earth and Universe.  In the past there was a lot more emphasis on the person as a whole opposed to the fragmented thinking that is thrust before us today.  The stimulus that is present is coming to us in warp speeds!  Yes, we are knowingly wanting to evolve as people but why is bigger, faster and essentially to the extreme deems to be the common denominator towards existing and living?  Is that considered as better and for whom?  And who decides that?  Is that the answer to world peace or could it be an understanding of self?

Or is that the…

Diversion

Division

Blindfold

The Master Plan

Is that the darkness that allows the light to elude some and for the ones that are light filled they are considered unusual.  Hmmm…that is something that I have heard many times in my life.  In this day and age we live in a world that is filled with anger, pain, hurt; devastation, division, war, and crime….and the list can go on and on because that is what we are shown.  Just think is this the reason why we were born?  Is that to be known as a part of our birthright of being a being on this earth?

When we were born we were as they say at our highest state of being, filled with light the untainted source of LIFE and ENERGY.  A source placed here to partake in the experience, the journey.

But, somewhere along the ways of enlightenment has the light disappeared or is it considered as a part of an ancient mythological story or a fairytale? 

Hmmm, it makes me wonder…

When does the light shine bright allowing the happiness to come in? 

Presently the programming has you looking outside for a form of happiness.     This creates the instantaneous form of happiness via retail, ego or other stimuli, a need, a want, a desire.  When did all of that supersede the inner happiness that lives inside and in truly knowing who you are?  I’m sure that you can replay it within the movie inside of your mind.  It is a sense of happiness we knew as a child before our eyes were closed to your inner knowing!

All of this technology that we thrust upon us is that a way to divert your thoughts?   For if it was not for technology where would we be?  Some may say “I can’t live without it” as others like me would shake our head and ponder why? 

Hmmm let me think…

As I remember very well we would be in a creative sense of being and knowing doing research learning how to create, build and exist.  Presently as some may think that we are in a growing time for what the powers that be want us to see.

But the question is ~ Are we growing?

Are we living in a time where we are blindfolded cutting us off from our true nature of being?  Is our existence coinciding with our experience? Because technically if we are blindfolded our only resource would be our senses.  But if you have not taken the time to build them up how can you live and cope with the ways of the world?  How do you activate or should I say re-active the spiritual part of you that shines from within? 

The time is now for you to realize what is important to you, how you want to see, live and be in your life! 

We are living in a controlled environment and if you don’t believe it then your eyes are blinded.

Your Freedom is Your Happiness Which Lives Within

We are told that the world is in chaos by what we watch and see but what if we changed our actions, practices and thoughts. If we go out and engage with mother earth as we did as kids outside running and playing until the street lights came on at night.  What if we grew our own foods and nurtured them as our great grandparents and our grandparents instead of eating processed foods.  Wouldn’t it be nice if instead of teaching children only what they needed to pass the standardized testing that they went back to Home Economics and the simplistic forms of learning to allow you to learn resulting in excellence!  Wouldn’t it be nice if art and music was again brought back into the school systems? 

What if we all took time out to change our thoughts, words and energy?  We keep hearing the emphasis on “Change your thoughts Change your life” don’t we?  Is this part of the master plan, a gimmick...Absolutely not it isn’t.    But some may say that it is!   How would you know if you don’t try?  Let’s start at the most simplistic form if you find yourself speaking negative…now speak positive as some would say check yourself!   What a concept how can speaking positive actually change your life.  Well I can’t speak for the masses but for myself it gave me a clearer and brighter world to embrace.  And when I say world I am talking about my body, my temple the house that houses my soul.  It opened my eyes to a totally different world, it made me reflect but not to judge.  It gave me a reason to share with others as I am doing with you because it truly will make a difference in how you see life, your life and life as a whole. 

Some may think that one person cannot make a difference but they can it only takes one person to have a thought and as crazy as it may sound and to act on it.  Everyone that society has deemed crazy has been inventors, artist, mathematicians, etc… And I my inner child let me know that I am so very different and unique.

These are the dreamers that believed in their existence to create a new reality.  Some may say that I am unusual and I agree I am because at this time in my life I am looking and working from within.  I am taking my dreams and visions and what is coming to me and letting it soak into my inner being. And I will admit there is a change, there is a knowing or a desire to learn, to read, to pass on and to get it out there.  It is a surge of energy that is felt from Dawn to Dusk, Sunrise to Sunset…Ying to Yang.  It is a power that I have never felt before but I embrace and protect with all that I am.

So…

Who knows what may happen if we all can change our thoughts to positive ones?

What do you think will happen?

How will that change your world?

How will it change our world?

Because to be honest right now…

What is taking place is not to benefit us as a being of light.

It is not feeding your soul.

There is so much out there within the world that has been lost in so many ways.

What you see you will emulate that is a known fact!   It will creep into your existence and becomes a part of your world.

And with that said anything that you do for 21 days will become a habit!

Monitor your next 21 days

Monitor your thoughts

Monitor your soul

Monitor your feelings

To create A NEW WORLD!

There has to be the ability or the wanting to change to make a difference…

ARE YOU READY?

THE TIME IS NOW

Take that first step and create your LIFE of TRUTH and of PURPOSE! 

WORDS OF WISDOM FOR DAWN

There comes a time in life when things seem to shift from what you thought or knew was important to actually what is. How in the world from birth does this perception change?  Well for one as a child we come into this world and our excitement and exuberance is focused on just being. We allow ourselves to act silly and do whatever we want without thinking twice.  I remember those days and I really do miss them alot.  You really didn’t have to sit and think if you were going to do it you did it with no looking back.

So when did the restrictions and the belonging come into play? 

One word that I can think of is SOCIETY!

As a child I was told before crossing the street I had to look both ways just in case a vehicle was coming.  I literally would as we all were perched on the curb turning our heads to the left and right determining if we were going to cross or not.  Ok I got it and got good at it too in regards to vehicles but what about the things in life that could run you over?  What about unexpected, the unknown, the things that could creep up on you and hit you out of nowhere? 

At this time in my life that is what I would have hoped to have learned about but as in all things there is a reason why.  If you know ahead of time then your action or reaction would not be organic.  It would be pre-empted and scripted and for me that is not how life is supposed to be.  Hey, I am no dummy once you touch a hot stove you know not to put your hand near it again right?  So you find a way to adjust and maybe find a towel or an actual potholder to assist you in what you wanted to do.  You altered your plan, you opened your mind and you created a new way. 
 

It is at those times that I look back and smile and say you know Dawn you didn’t give up you opened your mind and you shifted your energy in a new direction.  Those are the lessons that I wish was taught in school a “Life Class” how not to use the word CAN’T.  That word is something when I was a child I heard so much “oh Dawn you can’t do, become, or try”!  And just in case you are wondering this was not at home but at school!  Well my mind is telling me I can so who’s with me.  But the WORLD or SOCIETY is telling me hmmm… you can’t.  I can only laugh because for a very tall skinny little girl my mind was made up and I knew I could!  And guess what it may not have been in the material world but in my mind I was that archeologist and I went on those digs to discover the many treasures of the world.  You know what that is called IMAGINATION!!!  My Imagination was and still is one of my best friends!  It kept me entertained and never told me I couldn’t do anything.  It was always there for me to make a way…always! 

So as I celebrate another year of life I will remember the good times and the not so good times.   I will always be thankful to the higher power for my existence.  I will continue to be grateful to the universe for listening to me while gazing at the starts telling you how my life will be.  Just recently I have found out the power of two of the coolest words…I AM!

You can put anything behind it and it will begin to shape your world believe me I know.  Use it as if you are playing a game to begin to ignite the spark of creativity and life inside of your being.  Let your inner child take over and go wacky with the notion of these two words!

I AM… DAWN

Nowhere on my list is there the word can’t…just think about it and relish in the positivity and the electricity in the deliciousness of life.  From what I am told there are no restrictions in my ability to be.  I came into this world being and knowing that I have this deep feeling of I was going to be “famous”!  But now when I think about it that wasn’t the right word but who knew I was a child back then.  The word that I will use right now is “VIABLE” (able to be done or worth doing) ~ Thanks Encarta Dictionary (wink another good friend of mine)!  Because with that I know that I am focusing on being viable to the world.  All of my actions and words are going to worthwhile.  I will no longer allow my being to be saturated by negativity (words, people or actions).  Or the nonsense of someone telling me that I can’t do something ever again… My first phase of life at times seemed like I was feeling my way around as if I had on a blindfold.  And as I began to tune into to whom “I Am” I began to become brave and peak from under the blindfold. The first time of course I had such a nervous feeling that would give me goose bumps.  Then as I began to build up my strength it got easier lifting it for longer period of times.  But what was the most challenging was actually me deciding that I no longer needed the blindfold to shield me from the who, what, when and where’s of the world.  As I gained strength in my eyes that were once weak are now refreshed and refocused.  It gave me a new perspective a new way of seeing and doing.  Believe me it wasn’t that easy but who said it needed to be.
 

I had a friend (JU) ask me at this time in my life would I rather have gone through the hard times when I was younger as in the first ½ of life or now as I begin my second phase of life…hmmm?  Deep question and I never really thought about it that way BUT...My answer to him was in the first ½ of life so that now I can see with my eyes and not viewing it from others perceptions of what they wanted me to be or be influenced by! 

What would your answer be?

When you think about how vast life is we are energy and energy is a power how we can not feel the energy of life.

I can’t tell you how to feel or be but what I can give you is the truth on Dawn…

At this time in my life I have grown to appreciate who Dawn is and why I was named Dawn…As in the Sunrises every day, you will always see the Dawn in the morning and she will always set at night.  The Sun is a form of light, the warmth on your skin on a hot summer’s day…  It appears with such brilliance as it rises above to shine its light on the world! 
 

WOW that’s me and that is sooooooo amazing!

Another good friend (Hi Peri) told me to OWN IT to know who I am and walk in that light!  To be Dawn with all of the essence that beholds the sun!  I said ok I can do that but OMG did I not realize just what it was to own Dawn…Man she is filled with knowledge that is given from above.  You have a lot who are not receptive to the words but you have some that are light filled that embraces her. I know I am the spirit within and I see how it is to be.  In no way am I saying that I am better than anyone as we are all unique.  But, the uniqueness of being Dawn is that she has the coolest inner child, spirit guides and guardian angels that are with her everywhere she goes.  That is not a hypothetical that is a fact and if you believe you know that you have a team as well. 

So all your life you had a desire….dream…a vision

So when does the magic begin

When do you step out on that invisible ledge and take the leap

When do you say Yes to yourself

When do you believe

Do you keep giving excuses

Does your dream have a timestamp

When will it expire

When will you begin to implement

Hmmm….I know maybe tomorrow

The time isn’t right

I have too much to do

So and so has done it before

We have too many original people in the world

Hmmm…I really don’t have time

Well I have said that as well ~ all of the above.  You think I just share these things with you as an experiment?  NO all of this comes from above and it is channeled through me so who do you think would have experience this  HELLO ~ Dawn

Which leads to the Truth ~ as in living your truth?  I have been chosen and this is my purpose.   It is my passion that drives me in the silence of the night.  The words that dance around in my head when put onto paper are a sheer Symphony of Life. 
The sweet sounds of a whisper that gently caresses your mind and allows your being to let go and feel the energy from above.  To say out loud that I am here, this is your purpose and this is your gift back to the world. 

I will tell you at first the chatter was so strong I had no idea and it was constant.  But once I was given instructions to silence the spirit and listen not just with my ears but my entire being I was brought into the light of life.

A Luminance of a Dawn!
