Book Of Likes Faces

My dog is so smart that he has learned how to unzip the play pen from the inside! But what baffles me is that he has not learned how to pee and poop outside. I now feel like this is an intentional act of violence against me because he is so highly intelligent. xD

Wow. I saw an anti-gay/anti-single mom billboard at a local church that is a slap in the face to many. Who through no fault of their own ended up single mothers (boot the manchild, raising one kid is difficult enough). I guess, this church believes I should just round up the first idiot I see and get myself hitched. Yet, I deserve so much better than that. I wish I had the funds to put up a billboard deminstrating the power of an intelligent and strong single female led family. In a country where less than 48% of households are led by a traditional married couples, probably not their first marriages. Anyway, I find the whole thing hypocritical. I also think they need to think long and hard about love, true values, and messages worth sending. The amount of real good the money allocated to these billboards of hate could have done is appauling; with the amount of poverty in our local communities there is an unceasing need for charitable contribution and boundless opportunities for spiritual impact. Love and peace must start within each and every one of us. From within our hearts, our homes and then the world. There must be a paradigm shift where love takes priority over power, hate and greed.

The past is the past and I have most forward. Now today In the most trying situations I always ask myself , “what would my abuela Luzmilda do? What would she do in this situation right now?” and go from there. Sometimes I have no idea what she would do so I ask spirit to lead me in the right direction. One thing I do know is that my grandmother was an extremely poised, graceful, intelligent, forgiving woman. Sometimes I didn’t understand how she carried certain situations in the way she did. I don’t think she knew that I was always watching her and taking mental notes. I remember observing and asking myself “how does she do that?” It was the way she treated people that didn’t deserve her kindness that amazed me. Me going back to her and asking what would she do has saved me SO many times from acting out of character or doing something I will regret later like in my past. This woman/guardian angel now guides me even though she’s not here anymore and I am now a much wiser and better woman because of my abuela Luzmilda.
