Sadness into Action - Day Seven of 30 Warrior Women in 30 Days

She wasn't born a Warrior, but she is a Warrior today. It isn't easy for her. It isn't convenient a lot of the time. As a matter of fact, there are many days when she thinks her life would be easier if she wasn't.
She is not even sure how much of a choice it was for her, for it seemed to be a "must". Her heart was filled with so much sadness, seeing the injustices that were happening in the world, that soon that sadness felt as if it would drown her if she didn't do something.

She decided that she needed to transform that strong sad energy, into an energy that could be diligent and fierce - focused on changing those things that were pulling at her heart. She decided that her pain could be her passion.
Not everyone can be a Warrior, and that's okay, we all have a different path. But for some, there is no other choice other than to be a Warrior....it's in their blood...it's in their heart...it's in their soul.

Dona Nobis Pacem - Grant Us Peace

My entire adult life has been spent seeking, sharing, and Being Peace. I strive to surround myself with people who live their lives in a peaceful way, and try to inspire those who struggle to obtain it. When I was young, I was blessed to grow up in an area of Upstate NY that was rich in cultural diversity. "Normal" to me was being immersed in that melting pot that was defined by so very many cultures and religions. My memories are filled with weekend events - celebrations, dinners, and dances held at different cultural community centers and churches. Everyone was welcome, and everyone would partake. This place had been a destination for many immigrants years back due to the opportunities for work. I remember my grandparents telling me about the old shoe and cigar factories, which were popular places for jobs. As the area grew, more and more industry came. Families were proud and grateful to have life long jobs that allowed them to take care of their families. There ...

Romancing the Butterfly and its Symbolic Meaning

The Butterfly has such a beautiful significance in life, a delicate and ornate creature who just by their floating into our presence can instantly light smiles on the faces who see her. They are symbolic for the Perception of the Evolving Soul. The way in which they flutter through the air and land on one flower... to the next flower, looks as if they are doing a dance of happiness. Almost as if they are giving out kisses to each one. Even in difficult or harsh circumstances they still float in the same manner, insistent on living in the moment and living in joy. The Butterfly represents how you choose to perceive your growth, whether you perceive the transformations as a difficult period or whether you perceive them as a grand adventure appreciative of each moment. Transformation, change, and growth are inevitable, but how we choose to walk through them affects how easy or difficult they can be. The Butterfly is a special totem to look to when you are going through a t...
