Lost Connection

1/8/2014

In a world of lost connections and unrealistic views, we try to focus on each and every day to move forward in the best way that we can. Sometimes dealing with problems can really bring emotional stress and loss of understanding with certain people around us. No human should ever feel like they have to explain themselves when going through a hard moment just because that other person assumes. We all have our different problems on many different levels, therefore one persons problem is not more difficult than the other persons problem. They are all different and they are all,,, "Just Bad". Lost connection is not only a reality we face every day, but a problem that is thrown in our face over and over again. We are not on this planet as humans to be judged, compared too, or disrespected, we are here so we can all some how move forward in our lives and survive. Lost connection is a very emotional journey. Lost connection is also a road where one can easily feel lost. Lost connection is a power that we can use for our souls in a good way and we all should take that moment to look at that good way instead of the assumptions that some people strive on that bring us down.

More In This Life

1/7/2014

I can't imagine trying to live my life without all of my creative sources for which I am about. At times there are moments that will surface themselves creating a bit of a block to ones ability to create. These are the situations that really become a bother knowing that being creative is such a major part of my life and it is a major expression for me on so many different levels. As I become more in tune to where I am at in life, I realize that a whole new universe comes alive in my world of ideas. I try to approach the road block that is creating a pause in my life and I try to understand how to look into the different light for a stronger guide. Less to worry about becomes more in this life to build on. When a person takes a moment to really think about anything and everything that has ever tried to stop them, we begin to build our strength by turning the negative into a positive. Easier said than done, but it is a very real fact that we all need to understand in order to keep our minds in a healthy world. More in this life has really turned into being part of our lives. My knowledge grew stronger each year as I let my thoughts move away from the negative world. Sometimes this means even removing those who we once thought were our friends. With this being said, after removing any negative sources, we really begin to see our true heros in our lives.

The Sky

1/6/2014

The sky, our wisdom, our goals and our ability to want more in our lives. As our thoughts become more saturated in the many wishes we have, our goals transform into reality as we stretch our arms towards the sky. Not only do we reach for the skies, but we also reach for the stars and our dreams. We focus on so many wonderful accomplishments that we have had and we try to continue on building on those accomplishments. There is no limit to who we are, what we do, what we want and what we create. The sky is a blank canvas for which we map our lives in and how we view the future we try to build. A new experience arises every single moment which gives us a whole new hope and a whole new understanding. The sky is a beautiful way to see what we become and a beautiful way to see where we can be.

One Day

1/4/2014

In the moment of my thoughts, I realize the people that have truly been there and the people who have really made a difference in my life with such a positive note. I understand that it is up to me and only me to really focus on the things around me, the changes going on and how to approach them. It is very important to understand how we can make differences in our every day life in a positive way that will better us. With as much negative situations that occur each and every day, it truly is important that I do my best to not bring that into my life if possible. One day our moments will be easier to tolerate without giving in to defeat. Again, this is something that I am sure we all know and something that we all have been through or even still going through, but a persons expressions at the moment is true to how to heal a negative substance. Not all pre-meditated assistance to a problem is a good idea. Sometimes it takes a spontaneous hand to reach out and show you that light that we least expect. I truly am grateful for all of my real friends and real family that have been there through thick and thin, through tough moments, through the stress we all deal with in our own way and through wanting to continue that real respect. One day all that energy will glow brighter than the summer sun. One Day that will all flow smoother than silk. One day that energy will come right back to you.

Looking Within

1/3/2014

One moment of peace is a chance to really focus on what is growing around me. I can honestly see the light of a hidden lamp that guides my soul vision and my soul being. I always have way too much to think about but at the same time, half my life has been based off my thoughts and emotions. I can crawl with every ounce of stress I have as if it were a volcano ready to burst, but feeling the heat that arises helps me understand the decisions I must make under the pressure of ones moments. I can not make any situation perfect, all I can do is let the situation give me a new light of guidance. Many obligations and concerns to think about but which ever side I chose, it is only to improve who and where I am. As I look within my own thoughts, I realize that a whole new world is waiting with the opportunity of a positive path. Looking within is not only a reflection, but a learning curve that we tend to miss every now and then. These are the beautiful tools to help improve my situation to make a better moment for my daughter, my love, and for my life.

A Risk

1/2/2014

A new beginning to a world of more creations. As I sit and begin to think of all new changes that are to come, I realize that I have had a lot to think about within myself. With so much going on, I know that it is up to me to do the best that I can and to be the best that I can. We begin our path to a new journey creating a clean slate for us to appreciate where we are with our life, friends, family and loved ones. This helps us understand that if we continue to focus on the past chapters in the book of our life, we will never be able to focus on reading the future pages of our life and positive paths. We all have heard the saying, "It Is Ok To Take Risks". Yes, it is very ok to take risks in our lives. I know that in many cases taking a risk can be good or even bad. When a person is in a negative situation that is very bad, taking a risk of change to better yourself can only make good things surface. We are always questioning ourselves in so many ways of how to take these risks, but understanding that we want to better ourselves should not be a question, but more so a focus in our lives. A risk is truly a blessing more so than a concern.

The Ending

12/31/2013

Here comes a near to the ending of another year. With so many ideas still rolling, it will be another journey to continue with my expressions, creations and new energy change. A whole new beginning awaits us all at the doorstep of a new entry to a whole knew universe. We take what we can from a previous world and time so we can learn how to become stronger for our next travel in our life. I am so very grateful for the people in my life that really have made me feel as a whole. My daughter, my love, my friends and so many wonderful moments to really help me understand what really matters. As we continue to grow, our world continues to allow us in a new light that we see ass a reflection to what will come. The Ending is always a new beginning.

Amazing

12/30/2013

Our world, our experience, a constant change in our weather that controls how we survive. It is not only humans that make the changes, but more so mother nature. This is something that we all know about, but for some reason we don't seem to respect too often. The thoughts of what can happen in the future is a thought that is effecting the current changes. We seem to fall asleep with the feeling of being ok but, in true reality there is a lot more going on that will become a part of us. Amazing how we have air to breathe. Amazing how we have gravity to sustain our place. Amazing how everyday carries a whole new energy. Amazing how every day gives us a new experience. It truly is amazing what our planet gives us but even more amazing how a lot of people don't seem to give that same kind of care right back.

In The Growth

12/29/2013

The lights of our imaginations become the scope of our details. We move forward to understand who we are, what we want to share, who we want to grow with and how we want to focus our lives. In any creation, every beautiful soul we allow in our lives become our strength, friendship, love and belief. In the growth to our own generation will never be ignored by those who stand beside us without having to hide or lie to one another for whatever reason. The respect that takes a long time to gain can take seconds to break. People miss-understand what they think is trust, but when truly thought about, everything surfaces in it's own way and will haunt you when you least expect it. The beauty of understanding will always hold weight as we continue to be grateful for all the wonderful things and all the wonderful people we chose to have in our lives.

Hopes

12/28/2013

I grab a piece of paper to write down some ideas. I begin to wonder where these ideas came from. When I realize more and more that it is not just an artist expressing, but more so an artist reaching into his own feelings. As we know that music, film, photography, etc are very expressive for any artist. I want to put aside for a moment anything I do in these creative fields because that paper I grabbed to write on has nothing to do with any of it. I begin to really feel everything else I want to accomplish for survival. Being able to take care of myself, my daughter and my love is not just a reality, but it is a new approach all together. Yes we all know that time are really tough right now and there are a lot of people going through some tough moments, myself being one of them. I turn to hope and I write down any possible plan I have to help my situation. To me this feels like a whole new form of art as we wonder where and how everything will turn out. Hopes are really focused on because we have faith in what we believe in but it does not take away from stress or even fear. I know that one way or another we will overcome this fear and stress and build on our journey to really make our lives more enriched with the positive. Every day I am grateful for what I do have as I continue to stay on the path of learning and becoming stronger. I am so thankful for those beside me who have never abandoned me as a friend, or as a person they truly care for in their lives.
