We all have our unique paths in this interesting journey of life, yet we share many similar experiences. I hope this poem by Lilya Chuang inspires you to connect with others as well as show compassion and celebration for the paths we each travel.
Peace and balance….
There can be good and bad anywhere
Plenty of good people to connect with and share
There is beauty and slippery rocks along the way
I worked on awareness so I wont slip away
My path had flowers that bloomed bright
A warrior that needed to fight
After getting so hurt, precious stones I found as I fell in the dirt
As I bleed I get back up and proceed
My path had fiery coals
I got burned by lost souls
Through burning there is learning
I walked through fire to get to true desire
Through endings to new beginnings I grew
Like a phoenix I live again and renew
My path had a lovely stranger that truly saw me
I felt it in his words so beautifully
To my surprise, he quickly intuitively saw so much in my eyes
A unique experience amazing and true
Wise stranger that knows…

I am on a never ending quest for knowledge because I am very curious, I enjoy learning new information and hope to better myself along the way.
I also hope to empower others so they can learn more and thus have more options in life. The world we live in is always beautiful. Look around and see flowers growing out of a gutter drain for some proof. It can also be cruel, frustrating and downright ugly at times. We must all make a choice to live a certain way and to find or create beauty. We owe it to ourselves and future generations to respect and treasure what makes our lives worth living.
I created a website to share what I have learned and to empower all people to be the best version of themselves. http://mpwru.webs.com is a combination of peaceful actions that we can take to improve quality of life for all people no matter where they were born, what they believe or what actions they have taken that brought them to their current situation. It is not useful to judge others harshly until you have walked in their shoes. Even then, we all relate to the world differently so it’s difficult to say you know how someone else feels.
What have you learned recently that helped you and can benefit others? Please leave a comment. 🙂
“No wonder your heart feels it’s flying, your head feels it’s spinning, each happy endings a brand new beginning, let yourself be enchanted, you just might break through to ever ever after” This song, Ever Ever After from a movie titled “Enchanted” is stuck in my head. Even though I feel the saying “happily ever after” is silly, I love this part of the song.
I don’t want a fairy tale romance, a prince or a castle. I do want to feel enchanted by life and find the magic I believed in as a child. I miss those days when I believed anything was possible and that there really were magical beings, supernatural forces and adventure in every forest, dark attic or foreign land.
I want to feel alive. I crave adventure and a mission that will take me far away from all that I know and submerse me in a new story.
Someday will never come if I continue to play it safe though. Starting today and for the rest of the year my goal is to jump out of my safe zone and see what happens. I would rather sink in a wild ocean filled with my true passion than swim in a calm stream filled with doldrums of a boring life.
So it really is in the eye of the beholder?
After years of wanting to be beautiful I finally feel that way. There is quite a difference between being told you are beautiful and actually believing it. It took me forever to have this chance to look in the mirror and think “Wow! I really am pretty.” Unfortunately this came at a point in my life when I also realized that beauty only gets you so far. The rest has to do with talents, ability, emotional stability.
Yeesh! If only I had figured this out earlier. I could have been working on my talents instead of waiting for my looks to arrive. So my new goal is to grow my talents and find out what I really want from life. This blog is part of my journey. Time to let go my fears and see what I am capable of.
Wish me luck…….
🙂
