Billie Jean King

     remember this legend?   i won't ever forget her    she was my idol in youth   i learned to play tennis because of her   i learned to be assertive in life, aggressive in sports because of her style of play    i'll never forget that match with Bobby Riggs   what a turning point for me   what a turning point for women in sports in life    she appeared very strong back then   she appeared even stronger last nite as i watched her ceremony for the renaming of the Tennis Center at the U.S. Open    wow, how powerful she is    with reflections of myself lately, i wonder if this is where i got my strength   sometimes i'm amazed how strong i am especially after my psychosis and definitely not feeling it    anyways, what an icon Billie Jean is   what an honor bestowed upon her   the first naming of a sports place after a woman   this woman i won't ever forget   she made the Biggest impression on me in my youth than anyone ever did    i salute you Billie Jean King!   my idol!

political

i just read the article pertainin to Katherine Harris, a U.S. Rep   probably republican    anyways, she states in so many words that separation of church and state is a lie   and if you don't elect Christians then we wood be "legislating sin"   now who the hell is she   who is anyone to tell me how to live my life    what is 'right' for an individual is determined by that individual not government or others who condemn and judge    God i hate their self-righteousness whoever displays that either individually or representing a group especially of a spiritual background, i.e. Christians    she needs to go jump in a lake!                http://articles.news.aol.com/news/_a/rep-harris-comments-on-religion-draw/20060826194909990002ke!

Loose Women

well, it wasn't a date date, but that's ok    we had fun sumwhat at the skit   the ending skit was heavy, but the rest of it we had sum laughs    we both enjoyed The Vagina Monologues better    after the skit, we had taco salad at her place and good conversation    we chatted a bit about life, church and the joys of living    it was good to get to know her a little    we had met in Foundations Class   same class M and I met    so it'll be fun spendin more time with a new friend   right now she's off with another friend to Europe for a few weeks   wish i was goin, but maybe another year eventually    the afternoon came & went fast    home finally, it's almost dark and i must get out and do a lil yard work....until we meet again..

a date?

sunday morn   the sun is shinin'   my kids are outside   i just read a fellow j-landers entry and my perspective changes    she was discussin' anger, and i reflect on my anger sumtimes having my illness    it truly has been a gift, yet sumtimes i wish it never happened   i wonder how i wood have continued to grow and change without it   lately i've been reflectin on myself of who really i am    i've missed sum parts of me that didn't get to finish developin'    now is the time to let them grow    i am a feminist and probably gay more than bi    i miss those outrageous moments with other women where we can express our 'wild' selves and anger toward men and society   this is a part that i didn't get to develop    since my last psychosis i've been tryin' to recapture my true self    only the last few months have i been able to get a glimpse of my 'wild' self    i've been jugglin still expectations of others and my true identity    and Anne's journal entry reminds me we need to be angry sumtimes at least    even before this morn, i had already decided to cut my hair a different way again, the way i used to years ago   it was more radical and rebellious    just the other niite M took my pic, i posted it on myspace.com    it appeared to be conservative for my nature   i had found a photo of my father & i from a few years back   there my hair was more reflective of my true self    so back it will go, shorter than it's now and may my wild side continue to come forward reflecting my liberal views and radical/rebellious self    i am part conservative, however, i believe in the indvidual freedom of one's expression needed for one's uniqueness and the common era of the day    i am a free spirit in sooo many ways   it comes from my heart and soul   i desire to reflect that in my image on the outside.....now what does all this have to do with a date?    a woman came lookin for me the other day at church  (she didn't know how else to reach me)   she invited me to a skit downtown   sumthin' to do about "Loose Women.."   i luv plays like this   isaw "The Vagina Monologues" awhile back   i need to do more of these skits and remember who i am   Sisterhood is powerful!   i learned this right out of leaving the nest so long ago    i miss those days sumtimes,   i just need to find them again...in time i Will!

we see...

We see a world free of homelessness, violence, war, separation and disenfranchisement.

We see a world in which there is generous & continuing sharing of heart and resources  A world in which forgiveness, whether for errors, injustices, or debts, is the norm  A world in which borders are irrelevant  A world which has renewed its emphasis on beauty, nature and Love through a resurgence and aesthetics  A world in which fellowship prospers and connects through guidance of spiritual wisdom & experience  A world in which we love and grow as one Human Family.

 

this and the previous entry is our beliefs and philosophy of our church   i embrace them wholly with my heart.   may mankind have all that it needs...

 

statement of faith

Science of Mind is the correlation of the laws of science, the opinions of philosophy, the revelation of religion as applied to human need & the aspirations of human kind.

a letter

 
i sit quietly this morn feelin' Spirit who returned to me, who never left   in a moment the sun will rise  it will be a dawning of a new day   the birds will be singing and it will be a glorious moment    i am teary this morn reflecting on the goodness of Life for that is all there is   i've been waiting for this moment since my temporary setback of a few weeks ago (throwin' out sum of Ramtha teachings)   that temporary setback was being a bit disillusioned by spirituality   a reminiscence of when i came out of my psychosis and didn't believe anything to be spiritual and questioning whether God even existed   but my heart and soul knew   they knew not only a few weeks ago, but years ago when i was truly disilllusioned    experiencing my psychosis i truly recognized and realized  just how powerful our minds are    but as i've learned the past 3yrs thru our church, it isn't the brain doing the thinking, it truly is us    so my setback was of my brain of my experience and its effects on me wondering what really is Truth and what is not    Spirit never deceives us   we do that to ourselves   only living can we know the difference   blessed are we in our lives, in our endeavors   blessed are we to have the breath of Life which is Spirit breathing through us    Loved are we eternally and there is never an end   ...there are not enough words to describe Spirit and they really don't do it   for how does one truly describe Love in its infinity and what does it truly look like.....
 
Have a great day my friend!   just sum thoughts to share....much love & hugz~k
