I have to spend the next two days playing with the doctors, but before I run off….

Have you forgotten about our organization that is trying to raise money for those in need, thanks to the government shutdown. Have you spread the word about it? I know I haven’t had time to build a site for it yet but it will eventually have a home on the internet I promise you. But just because it doesn’t have a home on the net yet, doesn’t mean it isn’t really and the problems we are trying to tackle or not just as real either. Below is a post I made on FaceBook this morning. The shutdown is now starting to trickle down and it is really trickling down around here. Hell, forget the trickle it is now more like a rainstorm. If you would read the article below, if you can’t donate, then please pass it along to someone who can. Thank you, Lady A

 

The government shutdown has been going on for a month. This shutdown included several difference agencies. One of the agencies that was closed down and is hitting our area very hard is the agency that supplemented public housing for the area. Our area is not that economically prosperous to start with at the present time. Since the government subsidized these people living in government housing they are now facing eviction. The government pays half their rent and then they pay the other half. Without the government agency that pays their other half, some landlords are not willing to work with these people. They want the entire amount or else they are going to evict them. It is bad enough that the government is shutdown and people are caught in the middle and used as helpless pons. These are individuals, human beings, for goodness’ sake our Elderly and being treated like this. It is inhumane. Even though my mother has passed away, I know I wouldn’t want her living in one of these public housing projects and when the government shutdowns and can’t uphold its end of the original bargain, out you go. It is a disgrace that our Elderly are being treated like this. Our Elderly should be cared for, live in comfort and not have a worry in the world. But unfortunately in these days and times that is not so. They now worry about facing eviction and being put out on the street. They need help and funds to avoid being evicted. I know we can help these people and others that might be in the same situation. I am only aware of the housing projects in our area that are threatening to evict our Elderly but we would be more than willing to help any others that might be in this same situation if you would only tell us about them. These people need our help. Please help them from being put out on the street in the freezing cold.

The fund collected now are going to the Elderly in our community and others to keep them in their homes and off the streets in this cold weather. Can you imagine the damn government letting our Elderly be put out on the streets.

Goddess Knowledge – Flora

Flora, “Flourishing one,” was the Roman goddess of flowers, gardens, and spring. She is the embodiment of all nature; her name has come to represent all plant life. She is especially a goddess of flowers, including the flower of youth. Her festival of unrestrained pleasure, the Floralia, was celebrated at the end of April and beginning of May; this festival was probably the orgin of the maypole dance and the gathering of bouquets of flowers, symbolizing the bring of spring and new life into the world. She gives charm to youth, aroma to wine, sweetness to honey, and fragrance to blossoms.

Flora teaches us to honor growing things, both inside and outside us, She is a reminder to pay attention to pleasure, to the beauty of spring, and to new life, where it is found.

A Thought for Today

These are only a few quotes by Dr. King if you would like to read more of them click on this link: Dr, Martin Luther King Jr Quotes

When I was in a speech class in college we had to choose any topic we wanted to give a 7-minute speech on. I chose to write and give a speech on how just 1 person can change the world. I used Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Hitler. Both men changed the world in different ways forever. PArt of my speech included how Dr. King’s followers mourned his death at the time and in some ways we still mourn him. While on the other side Hitler people even the ones he trusted most were glad he died.

America and other countries still have a ways to go until we come to a point of there being no discrimination towards anyone no matter what their sexual preference is, what religion they follow, what color their skin is, how fat or skinny a person is, whether they wear glasses or not. I could go on with this list but I want you to think and dig deep into your mind to find out who you think of as not being an equal to you because we all to some extent discriminate against a person or group of people whether we do consciously or unconsciously. I feel we are at a crossroads and have the chance to bury all our negative feeling of discrimination.

Every day for the next 7-days take a piece of paper no matter what size it is and write down everything you know you discriminate against. Take your time doing this as it will help to cleanse your spirit and some chakras as well. On the 8th day either tear your papers into tiny pieces or burn them in your cauldron or whatever you have that you can burn them but be able to collect the ashes. Now go to a crossroad if you can bury them if can’t bury them just pour them out of the container onto the middle of the crossroads. DO NOT LOOK BACK look to the now and the future to start helping to wipe discrimination off the face of Mother Earth.

One final thing to think about if everyone everywhere believes that everyone else is equal to them there would be less need for military personnel because there would be fewer wars and/or terrorist attacks. There would also be a world that could once again find how to live in harmony with Mother Earth and all living things.

Blessed be dear ones.
