If the picture appears in the post on my page, I will have learned something else.  Again, thank you for your patience.  KAP

Is three really a charm?

Here’s hoping this publishes to my Just Sayin’   Kaye A Peters page!

We’ve been experiencing a  glitch and this is a test to make sure everything is running smoothly again. Thank you for your patience.  KAP

It’s important to me that I be as current and transparent as possible.  This said, as I was meditating this morning, it came to me that I was feeling like I had to correct something.  That I wasn’t feeling as calm as I want to be.  And, the next thought was, what is wrong with my thoughts that is causing my ‘dis-ease’?

Who says there is anything wrong with my thoughts?  ME!  As I further cogitated, it came to me WHY IS IT I ALWAYS LOOK TO MYSELF AS THE CULPRIT?  DOES THERE EVEN HAVE TO BE A CULPRIT?

I continued to let my thoughts wander…as this blog is like a journal, you as the reader, are witness to my process.

It occurred to me that I am not feeling like I am in chaos.  I am not feeling that I am out of control, even though events around me are seemingly ‘not coming together so easily’.  I am still pretty calm about it as a whole.

It appears that I am witnessing me in action…  As if I am outside of myself observing my feelings and trying to identify what place “I” or “Kaye” has in the experiences.

Going deeper, I am now able to see there really is nothing ‘wrong’.  It is what it is, and I am handling the outcomes as they unfold.  This is such an unusual approach for me.  I don’t think I have ever been quite  so objective about the process of living, with me at the center.  I am affirming myself  in this process.

This is another facet of going with the flow, only I’m more aware of it right now.  To be more clear:  my car is still not running right, and today it will be towed away to another mechanic who will be working with the mechanic who has been diligently on it for several days.  Thankfully, I can use my son’s other car which is here.  I am healthy. My house is in order.  The weather is slowly becoming cooler and I am able to do some yard work that I’ve been looking forward to doing.  My conscience is clear.  I count my Blessings and I am so grateful for what I have.  I continue to enjoy the privilege of living my life and the journey.  I am feeling myself coming into more conscious awareness.  I am beginning to realize that just because I can observe that something may be disheveled, it doesn’t make it ‘wrong’ or problematic.  It just requires me to come up with a satisfactory solution.  I do not have to rile in the meanwhile.  I love the way I’m thinking. I am so grateful for my resilience.  I think I’ve said enough for now.  This is the start of another wonderful day.

Blessed Be.  Be Safe, Stay Well.

I’ve made no bones about the fact I will not discuss politics or religion; however, I have no hesitation stating my beliefs when it comes to anything I feel could be positively affected by my view.    This blog is a compilation of comments I made on Facebook recently, and I have entitled them, “Be Part of a ‘Team for Change'”.

“BE PART OF A ‘TEAM FOR CHANGE’

I’d imagine ‘We, the People’ need to start at our local government levels..the big picture is simply too big, I’m thinking.

I would urge anyone who is absolutely in earnest to do something effective, to begin in their own neighborhood, and be very vocal (not rabid) about it.  Volunteer for local politicians (if you trust them, forget about the party, think about their effectiveness in office); work your way through, and become a lynch pin toward solutions in your own local governmental process.

Parents of school age children, go to your school board meetings and be commentators and voters and watchdogs for your schools and your own community.  I’m having a meeting 2/23/18 with an organizer of our own community where I live.  I’ll help her in any way I can – it’s about keeping our neighborhood safe, helping those who can’t help themselves, perhaps, and whatever else she has in her agenda to which I can contribute.  This is through the Nextdoor.com groups that are organizing in several towns.  A personal friend of mine is extremely active in the Sedona, AZ group.  If a person isn’t able to be a ‘Leader’, they can still search out the strength in their own neighborhood and be a part of the Team for Change.

Wherever we are we can always be an instrument of peace and civility and volunteer for change, whatever the venue.  I, personally, resist ‘table-pounders’…sideliners who continue to pour out their venom without leaving their chairs in front of the computer.  (Albeit a heartfelt speaking out for their position, with a resistance to another’s louder rabid voice.)  There have to be people who are willing to define themselves which begins in their own home and how they interact in their own family unit…assessing their own personal priorities which become peace giving expressions first to themselves, and then to their immediate inner circle members.

When I continue to look through enough lenses, I am able to say these things now, and declare my truths…defying what others may think!  I don’t need to hit below any belts, I don’t need to pull together a gang to state my views.  I already do what I think I can do to be effective, and I will continue forward likewise.  I am my own proof of my own peace…and I take the inevitable struggles that may present, in stride.  We never arrive, but we always learn!

THERE ARE MANY SIGNS OF DYSFUNCTION IN FAMILIES.  We need to begin to look at our own dysfunction and work inward and then outward.  This will be a slow-but-sure process.   CHANGE DOESN’T HAPPEN QUICKLY, whether it be personal or social.”    Just Sayin’   Kaye A. Peters.

We are the people…the ‘pool’, if you will, where our government leaders come from.  Let us become serious citizens of this wonderful country where we live, and make every effort to model the caring behavior to our children, and never lose sight that our families must be the first responders from their homes and neighborhoods….With Liberty and Justice for All.

I don’t need the limelight – I am more than willing to carry whatever light I have to whatever cause that can use my contribution.  Blessed Be, and To All Be Blessed.
