Don’t tell me what I believe

 Don’t tell me what I believe 

And don’t put me into a certain group because it helps you with your talking points - the one thing that has always bothered me is when people group others all together for identification purposes. I simply do not buy in that ALL of any certain group thinks the same exact way or ALL have the same morals or work ethic, be it by gender, race , religion or political affiliation.

My experience has shown me that there are good and bad in all and to group people together is a total mis- justice , do not assume you know anyone and absolutely do not assume you know me and throw me into a nice neat column to make your point or drive home your own opinion.

This political season in 2020 is the most contentious of my 63 years here on this planet. I have never seen such a divide and people ready to yell and spew hate because you do not agree with them. I fully get that we all have different opinions and it has never stopped me from still getting to know someone or befriend them. 

I have always respected our policemen and women and our military members and veterans-always , and still do and always will so please do not throw me into any column because I do not support a certain candidate , that is down right insulting and wrong.

Do not assume I do not believe in a higher being or spirit or God because I believe in a woman’s right to choose or I believe in birth control , people need to practice more of the words of our prophets and less of hate and division.

There is no - them and us - there is only one race- the human race.

Where you are born on this planet or what skin you happened to be born in should not determine your worth or your life , we are all born into this world and every life matters and we should treat each other with the love that we all had in us upon birth, hurt people- hurt people, we need to rise above the bigotry and extend an olive branch to everyone we meet. Take the time to smile and listen and learn from each other- there is so much to learn. 

It is your life - your one life and life is short- use your time as a positive influence and your shoulders will be lightened and your path will be revealed.

Find Joy

 These are certainly stressful times !

It is very hard to turn away from the noise and anger, it is everywhere- all the time! And it is very easy to slip into depression or join the angry people. I do think it is important to stay aware and educated and try to read more articles and newspapers on current events. Try to look and listen outside of your normal echo chamber and always try to look at the other side.

Whatever you are going through right now align your self with people that bring you joy do things that bring you joy and try as much you can to stay in the moment knowing that your absolute best days are ahead of you in spite of everything you’re feeling or going thru right now
