Phoenix Rising

Things have shifted. I feel it. Deep within myself I feel a change and I am seeing the change mirrored in the world outside, too.
This is sooo exciting! :)
Collectively, we have been through a lot. To hell and back, really. So many of us who have "the best intentions" and seek to "be the change" have been tested and tortured and maligned and...we've lived to tell our tale.
We're still here... We're STILL HERE!!!!
Like the phoenix rising out of the ashes, so too are we.
We are going to change the world this time! I just know it! :)
Namaste,
Shannon :)

Girrrrrrl…I was JUST looking at that video! LOL…
And two of my favorite words…Phoenix Rising…I used to be obsessive about writing the word Phoenix from the time I was about 6 years old…just loved, loved to write that word! Oh, of course I love the whole symbolism of the Phoenix Rising from its own ashes!!!
Yes, Yes, YES!!! Things will be different…
Been doing some thinking…that we don't need to change the World…The World is Perfect..
PEOPLE need to change. Yes, that's it…the World doesn't need to be healed…PEOPLE do.
But the negative events of this world are helping us do just that. ;-)
BINGO, Ariela!! You are so dang smart and awake! :D
Creating the semantics to describe living within the shift and the ensuing “paradox” is something to work on ….
I think many of us have finally “gotten it”. Yes, it is US, not the world that needs to change. From the inside out… The darkness has given us a “backdrop” against which to see the light….
Thanks soooo much for stopping by!
Much love,
S:)
PS Too cool about your phoenix fascination! :)

Yes!
It's a shift away from narcissim, isn't it?
From
Change It.
to
Be It.
My sister-in-law has a post
about
Love Is A Verb
It reminded me about a recent homeschooling
experience. We were discussing nouns, verbs,
adjectives, etc., and when someone said a noun is
a person, place or thing, my 6 year old yelled,
“No way, I'm not a noun! I wanna be an action word!”
Me too.
: )
C.C.
Omigod, kids are so profound! I love them! Yeah, I am a verb too! ;-)
“Change the world” LOL…are you kidding? To do what? Undo what people have done? Then I say, change the people's minds! We'd never have to change the world again!!!
Change begins with us. Simple.
Hey C.C., we're going sheeple-tipping to wake them up, wanna come? LOL…
c.c.,
I , too, want new words. I so wish we were adept at telepathy sometimes….
What a wonderful homeschool story. I love it!!!! From the mouths of babes!! :)

Let's all “be verbs” and go sheeple tipping together!! LOL :)
Much love,
S:)
I wanna go sheeple-tippin' with y'all!!
I agree, words just don't work. Whenever I think I have the words figured out, the Song changes again and the words are all wrong….
