Namaste Sweetie,

Happy Hump Day!!!

I didn't know if I would make AOM today

I had a bit of a bad day yesterday

Somethings happened to really piss me off

I struggled with a storm of anger raging through me

Or rather, 

I tried not to struggle

But just sit with it, breathe through it, accept it and watch it

Rather than try to suppress or engage my anger

Anger isn't bad or good

Anger is Anger

A normal, healthy human emotion

How I react to anger

Determines whether I am using it in healthy or unhealthy ways

I wasn't totally healthy the entire time

: $

But it helped being able to watch it

Accept it, and let its energy flow through

I still have lots of learning to do

But man! I've come a very long way

:  )

I wish you a Peaceful Day!

One 

small 

positive thought 

in the morning 

can change 

your whole day 

for the better

Let us continue to promote

Peace and Love

and continue to build

The more Beautiful World

Our Hearts know is Possible

Peace and Love,

AOM

~*~

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

"Heroes represent the best of ourselves, respecting that we are human beings. A hero can be anyone from Gandhi to your classroom teacher, anyone who can show courage when faced with a problem. A hero is someone who is willing to help others in his or her best capacity."

“If you send out goodness from yourself, or if you share that which is happy or good within you, it will all come back to you multiplied ten thousand times. In the kingdom of love there is no competition; there is no possessiveness or control. The more love you give away, the more love you will have.”

“I suppose it’s not a social norm, and not a manly thing to do — to feel, discuss feelings. So that’s what I’m giving the finger to. Social norms and stuff…what good are social norms, really? I think all they do is project a limited and harmful image of people. It thus impedes a broader social acceptance of what someone, or a group of people, might actually be like.”

MUSIC of My Childhood: "Aquarius / Let The Sunshine In" by The 5th Dimension

 More Music from my Childhood

Man, I played and sang the hell out of this song

It was one of my many 45 rpm records

I specifically remember a day when I was 10 years old

I was in my room playing this song on my box record player
And just singing up a storm
I also remember

Having tons of fun pretending I was a radio DJ

(I still do that here on AOM : )

 If you had one of these

You probably needed at least one these

 We had to put these in the center of our 45s

I remember a couple of times 
not being able to find a 45 adapter

So I tried and tried to center the 45 on my turntable
(That was no fun at all)

:  )

One of my favorites

OH! Don't Forget

Set the record speed to 45 rpm!!!!
