Pride Parade


 I finally got to attend the pride parade for the first time this year. I was so excited and the experience did not disappoint. I was surrounded by people from all over celebrating who they are and with no cares!
 Bright colors and an abundant amount of glitter engulfed this safe place for everyone.  I didn't know what to expect but I knew it would be a good time. This may sound cheesy but I was almost crying (happy tears) for the unity and harmony in everyone around me. I wish everyday could be the same as that day for everyone. 

I don't believe that sex or gender should play a role in what you think of people. "Love everyone always," is my famous quote and I hope that is what I am remembered by. I believe that as long as everyone has a good heart and a willing to accept people the world would be much happier. 
I felt that the pride parade encompassed those feelings. I saw so much love from everyone. When I was looking around I only saw smiles!!! 
I do truly believe that peace can be had if people stopped judging everyone and just worrying about how you are presenting yourself to the world. I know that everyone is full of love and drive, it just depends on the way you use it. So I chalk this experience up to a great one, and I will be attending from now on. I love being surrounded by love and peace, if even for just a couple of hours. 
In case any of you were wondering I did get a really bad sunburn and just a bit sick from the heat. Regardless of that I wouldn't have traded the experience for anything. I think we should have random parades throughout the year to celebrate love and peace and harmony. (Man I sound like a great big hippie!!! and I love it!) 
Message for today: Celebrate who you are and bring happiness and peace to everyone in your life. Remember that you are you because the world needs a person like you!

Lost my heart...

 It's 2024 and this year doesn't seem to have the same magic that the start of the past years have had. It could be that I am getting older and the magic in the world is evaporating or the world has gone too far. Either way I need to find that magic in my life again.  Magic isn't the word. I feel like after you have been through so many things the world closes in on you. For some reason I feel it this year. I have been sitting and contemplating all my decisions and every step in my past that has brought me to this point, wondering if I did things differently would I be someone else?  Dont get me wrong I actually like who I am as a person but I dont like some of the things that I have lived through. Its hard to think that some people will never understand some of the things I had to go through, but then again I won't be able to understand some of the things that other people went through. we are all just walking around with internal pain. The world is hard and sometimes ...

Believe

 "believe in the lord Jesus and you will be saved." that sentiment is so easy to understand. I wish that more people really just did that. Opening your heart to the possibility of God's love is something that I am so blessed to have done. I know that God is watching over all of us and guiding us through this world.  In the Bible it never says that believing in God would give you the easy road or all the worldly abundance but you are a child of the most powerful. Even when you read the Bible its not all good. His believers were handed very difficult things but still persevered. I think that is the biggest misconception of the being a believer. God is not here to make your life easier. He is here to make you a better person and to learn things when you are on this Earth. He is here to guide you to the life that he has planned for you. Everyone forgets that the other side of the coin, the devil, is also working against us.  with that being said, I know that I truly love God ...
