NAMASTE

Follow your bliss

As Joseph Campbell so poignantly said, lectured, wrote... "Follow your Bliss". I anticipated that paradigm shift to happen in 2012 - alas, it still has not come. That day where peace and love triumph over greed and violence. The value of a human life is measured more in deeds to properties than it is to deeds from the heart.

I realized that I cannot change the world, I can change only myself and the way in which I make peace with the world. I am taking a break on my quest to "Be the change I wish to see." - As I wish that more people spoke up at injustices, I wish that noone tolerated cruelty, I wish that everyone were true to the kind and compassionate intentions that they held when they were three years old.

As I have lived my life standing for many beliefs in which I hold dear, I have often times stood alone, as I was the only one making noise. Quietly people thank me for being bold enough to say what they were too afraid to.

I'm taking a break.

Seeking my bliss.

Living Aloha.

Sometimes I need reminding...

If we truly are seeking a paradigm shift, then it is time we start working together to create and support one anothers' vision for a more enriching, fulfilling and high quality experience here on earth and in these bodies we wear throughout our finite life-span. I hear many people speak of peace and harmony, but I see very few who are able to practice these ideologies in the very mundane acts of every-day life. I believe that dignity is key. Treating ourselves and others with dignity is a most humane and compassionate act of peace and harmony. I strive to treat every client and passerby with the utmost dignity, as race, class, sex, creed, has absolutely nothing to do with the infinite value of one's soul.

" Throughout this lifetime, I may wear any name, but it is my skin that carries me."
