Soul's Joy

Dazzled by the beauty of our new moon, I rise as the lady in your eye.

The Lady of Your Eye
Dazzled by the beauty of our new moon, I rise as the lady in your eye.
Endless possibilities are revealed in God's will--which courageously dwells in your soul's cauldron.
Saints stomp at heaven's gate anticipating our feast of life.
Scribes and sages gather to witness a grand transformation--as amazing to them as a rare glimpse into the depths beyond endure.
Then--
Gracefully we sway anew--bountiful and light--into a waltz upon water.
Our eager silhouttee outlines the sky with dreams untold blessed spirits behold--as life unveils its greatest masterpiece.
Bellowed beautifully, a wise whisper greets my neck with a heroic haiku:
Hand in Hand
Holding together, our tomorrow
spirals eternal
Dazzled by the beauty of our new moon, I dazzle as the lady of your eye.

Diane Caves for Haiti

2010-02-09T05:53:00.000-08:00

2/9/2010

The US State Department and the HHS Disaster Mortuary Response Team has confirmed the death of CDC policy analyst Diane Caves in the Haiti earthquake. A dedicated public health professional, Diane was on a CDC 3-week assignment to improve Haitian HIV/AIDS programs when the earthquake struck on January 12, 2010.

Diane’s reasons for going to Haiti were typical of the rest of her life – helping others, traveling to new and exciting places, and pursuing personal growth opportunities. Her optimism, sharp intellect, adventurous spirit, and infectious smile touched all who knew her.

Diane died while in service to her country, public health, and the great people of Haiti.

I did not know her personally, but I feel eternally connected to her spirit. Her death reminds me that one day I will die, too.

I wish to die in the remarkable image and respect of a heroine much like Diane did.

According to those who knew her personally, she exemplified the zest for life and improving the lives of others much I aspire to do.

One day I plan to travel to a foreign land to heal and uplift those in need. I admire Diane's quest to Haiti. She went to Haiti were characteristic of her deep commitment to helping others.

She left earth on a mission.-A mission of hope and faith.

In 2009, she won the Atlanta Federal Employee of the Year Award in the Outstanding Professional. I am happy that she received recognition for her work before she died. At least now, her effort will live on beyond her short days on Earth.

Today, the relief efforts are still not adequate. What would I attempt if I knew that I could not fail? I would raise enough capital to rebuild that nation and help its people.

People have helped tremendously. People will continue to help greatly. People are people. Give, care, heal, help, share, adopt, grow, create.......for Haiti.

Although, I have not traveled to Haiti myself I know a few natives. I pray for you and your families. I feel connected to the struggle and plight of the people.

Haiti is a land that must be rebuilt by its own people. Reclaim your land.

Life is change. The rise of Haiti ( and other nations who are impoverished) is immiment. You will rise. Believe, trust, and know that you will rise.

An inescapable network of mutuality - single garment of destiny

2009-10-13T20:01:00.000-07:00

“We are caught in an inescapable network of
mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny.
Whatever affects one directly,affects all indirectly.”

--Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

2009-10-12T17:48:00.000-07:00

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
Barack Obama

Change does not wait for anyone, rather it is apparent in each moment, each second.
We must not be intimidated by the presence of change and the shifting of time. Shifts in position, status, place, social status, and personal fulfillment happen all of the time...you just have to keep your eyes wide open and feel the pulse of divine order as it unravels.

Life is an amazing declaration of audacious might.

We must vow each moment to become the best individuals we possibility can be at all costs and by any means.

I like how President Obama refers to change in the sentence above. It reminds me of my responsibility to embody the change inherit in each moment. Wow..what a feat...what a promise...what a mission!

So...what are you waiting for?

American workers waste 1.7 hours at work doing absolutely nothing, costs businesses 4.4 billion dollars a day

2009-09-29T11:37:00.000-07:00

According the Bureau of Labor Statistics, American workers waste 1.7 hours at work doing absolutely nothing, costs businesses 4.4 billion dollars a day ( Source USA Today).

I am a supporter of reducing the work day to 5-6 hours. If workers are wasting time at work, we should rethink the work hours.

Why do we need 8 hours each day? Who thought about this idea? What will it take to change this norm in America?

Who defines production? Well, companies of course.
Hmmm, I think we need to re-evaluate what we produce in our jobs but also how employers approach work life.

This issue runs deep into the culture of the work force and need for work life balance. I will explore further and write more later...until then be MORE PRODUCTIVE!

It is a great moment on a momentous Monday morning when you wake up, stretch and think...oh wow...there's magic in each moment.

I will celebrate Mondays. The day for new beginnings and new strides...new paths and new avenues....there are inherit opportunities hidden in each minute of our sweet masterful Mondays.

30

2009-09-18T09:18:00.000-07:00

Today I turn 30, the half-way mark in the adulthood stage according to Erik Erikson, a stages of human development psychologist who first enumerated this concept in his book, Childhood and Society (1950).

I must say that I learned a lot during my twenties. Wow, what a ride! I am very grateful to have had the experiences, challenges, and opportunities that this life has presented to me along the journey.
`
From age 19-29, I accomplished great things, to name a few ( in no particular order):

Graduating with honors....earned two degrees
Managed youth and communications programs
Started a consulting business
Founding a non profit organization

I am accomplished but my journey only gains momentum from here. I feel that I have great momentum and I am poised to take my life goals to the next level.

30 (Thirty) Tips Learned During My Twenties:
1. Age is only a number...be young and feel your best each day
2. 30 is TWENTY years younger than 50!
3. TWENTY something is now OVERRATED!
4. Take at least 30 minutes of time each day for yourself.
5. Spend at least 30 minutes each day reading and learning something new.
6. Spend at least 30 minutes a day exercising, meditating, or doing yoga.

11. 30 is NOT the new 20! It's BEYOND Twenty!
12. Everyone in your circle does not deserve a front row seat along your journey. Assign seats accordingly.
13. 30 dollars a day saved in 30 days is 900! 900 x 12=10800 a year.
14. 30 close friends is unrealistic, just find 3 people you can trust and who will support your dreams!
15. Go confidently, face your fears, and never give up.
16. Act boldly. Act Now.

Success Bracelets....what are you wearing?

Do you believe in soulmates?

2009-09-16T20:06:00.000-07:00

Do you believe in soulmates?

I believe there is someone on Earth that "completes" us or with whom we can share our lives. I define this person as the most compatible mate for you! Our soul mates will encourage us and motivate us to be your best and achieve greatness. I love to support my man through loyalty and trust. I think that a person can have more than one potential soul mate...I feel that at any time we can find and become love for the right person.

Any thoughts?

President Obama's reaction to Kanye' West

2009-09-16T13:10:00.000-07:00

I think the President should have made sure he was not being recorded before speaking candidly.
With the current emphasis on health care reform and the ecomony of America, it is important for the President to minimize distractions.
The media is making this comment into a distraction or way to characterize the President.
I disagree with this effort. He's a human who governs the USA-he has flaws and shortcomings!

President Obama, I understand you were enjoying a "normal conversation" with reporters and others however, at your level nothing that you say is "off the record."

I hope the President is able to learn from this slip up and refrain from speaking candidly in the airwaves of recording devices.

I agree with you him, West's action were wrong. Everything the President says follows him and lingers around needlessly.
Even though we all know that Kanye's actions were a bit insensitive and disrespectful to Taylor Swift. If she won fair and square, let her have her light.

I wish the media would let this one go!

Where has such true love gone?

2009-08-16T21:58:00.000-07:00

What do you do when you feel like love has left your side?
Where do you go when you feel as if the love of your love has expired, exited, evaporated... like dew upon a green meadow's needle....

but where has such true love gone?

I personally feel that true love endures...relationships may end.

We all are in a quest for answers about love, soulmates, and dates!

I wish everyone finds their true love and I am ready and open to love once again.

Love

2009-07-27T11:34:00.001-07:00

Love has an amazing way of showing up at the blink of an eye and manifesting into a sweet ripe honeysuckled fruit.
Why does love feel so sweet? Oh my, my sweet love...I am thinking about you.
Thank you God for bring him into my life. I am grateful for his loyalty and intrique.
I am happy...smiling infinitely.

Never Give Up.

2009-07-27T11:29:00.000-07:00

Never give up. Life is hard. We have to be harder. Life is unpredictable. We have to learn to forecast our own success.
Other people may deny your brillance, but you must continue to shine.
When facing difficulties at the crossoroads of life, stand firm and tall-never waiver.
We have the power to create what we desire most.

Ode to Maxwell

2009-07-07T06:30:00.001-07:00

Thank you Maxwell for being a soul song god that compliments my sweetness, joy, and feelings organically...your music speaks to the depths of my heart ( you know how to say exactly what women need to hear from their mates through song) and you inspire me to be love and to give love to others through song...
A musze ing man!

Horizon

2009-07-04T07:50:00.000-07:00

(c) 2009 Terica D. Scott he is my horizon.

my sunrise

i am his earth...

my moon bashfully eclipses his mars ...dark mystic and mighty...our love upon a magic wand swirls the universe-a marriage of the eternal and the infinite...a joyous love eruption

his sweet kiss falls upon my soul like an angelic azure blanket...

my inner mystery overflows like a sonic tide... a galactic wave-
rip tide by rip tide

I explode...

as god's starry eyes fall upon my will peaking through his courageous smile..

... our divine walk with god becomes a wondrous waltz exiting milky s way..

he is my horizon.

Michael Jackson

2009-06-25T19:35:00.000-07:00

No one will ever understand your journey but its authentically yours. A superior man writes his own destiny. Michael, you have written your own book of life-one that is translated in many languages, tongues, and dialects.
But your spirit, beneficently brought harmony to white and black, good and bad, right and wrong.

You have imprinted a permanent star upon the hearts minds and spirits of millions that will outlive every living generation.

You were an amazing spirit, who will outshine all those who may have contributed to your decline, ill-fate, and digression.

I wish you had people around you that you could truly trust. But it seems as if you where surrounded by people with ill-motives.

Be that as it may, your day has set to night. Darkness ensues. But know that you were born to be a multi-faceted icon. Wow! What a destiny! What a responsibility!

God has a golden plan for you. 50 years, two months shy of 51...on the horizon of arousing shock. Your exit is like the cauldron.

Your life symbolizes the energy and nourishment of the Earth. Thank you for your contribution to humanity.

You will always live...you are eternal.

Our Greatest Fear

2009-06-23T19:43:00.001-07:00

Our Greatest Fear

Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate,
but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant,
gorgeous, handsome, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us.
It is not just in some; it is in everyone.

And, as we let our own light shine, we consciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our fear,
our presence automatically liberates others.

Marianne Williamson, from the book her book A Return to Love
