Dear Readers, Seekers, the Humbled, those made Aware, those hungry for Knowledge, the internal conversationalists, those redefining self, the inventory makers, the boundary writers, the personal story tellers, the thinkers, the doers, the visionaries, the transformers, the realists, the encouragement progression, the solution to change is all around you in the friends you make and get to know, and every one else reading today....


    Thank you for reading today's entry and contemplation. I ask you today to share with your friends, your neighbors, your social circles, your hang out locations, and any where and any time you speak or talk to pass the time or engage to seek to know more about each other. Talk. Share. Communicate deeply and open up conversations and risks of thought that bond and create longer lasting friendships and connect you as human beings in ways that transform you and your thoughts. I ask you to be respectful of each other's boundaries and push only to improve each other, not to take down for destruction or mal intent. Build each other up. Restore each other. Encourage each other. Recover a faith in spirit and in personal journey to find a better state or condition of living. I ask you to discuss your personal inventory and internal natures, though not in specifics, I persuade that you are gentle with each other and speak in traits of character, and in common experience. I'd hope that you say something like "You know how when...", or "You know that one thing that happens..." and I hope that you laugh and share and experience life together one wonderful day at a time. 
    I'd like to share that I recently experienced a moment of surrender and while it was intense as moments of contemplation, reflection, and self growth are, it was also freeing and releasing of stress and tension and many other feelings that can wear down the human spirit. If you find yourself in a moment of surrender, I do hope that you are ready for it, and not that one or myself can ever plan to be ready for it, but I do hope that you know, implicitly KNOW what you are surrendering and who or what form of spirit or spiritual understanding you are surrendering to, please take some time and figure out what form and understanding of spirituality you are surrendering to, so that you are ready when the moment comes to fully participate and experience that surrender. It can be a very life changing moment, and I hope it benefits you when it happens.
    I took a look at a thesaurus for the word "Transformation" and for other similar words to "Improvement", "Recovery", "Change", and I noticed that I wanted to see more, I wanted more diversity of terms and I just wanted more words to describe the amazing event that surrender and transformation bring in the human experience. So I challenge you this week in your conversations and contemplations, if you invent your own word, or unique phrase to describe the internal experience of surrender, or you have a story about surrender, please share it, comment, or write to me all about it. I look forward to the creative energy and exploration of the human experience that we all have and share. Let me know how you are doing out there in the world and within your own personal worlds of transformation and change.
Contemplate, Share, Grow, Change, and Encourage Progression on your journeys!

Today was indeed a day to Honor the remembrance of what occurred physically and emotionally, and the impact and changes it affected in all of us socially and immediately. I am sure that much has been written today, the radio stations shared on it, the media took up the cause, and government officials, did their official duties to carefully and wonderfully show their support.
To those of you who lost loved ones, let me be yet another voice to offer condolence for your loss, and encouragement to continue to survive and grow in your own ways.
To those that were part of the responding voice and action that converged on New York, thank you and thank you for every action that occurred, be it in letters and mail, indirect or direct action and time given to all the aspects of that day and days to follow and weeks to follow.
I hope that conversation was on high today in contemplation, deep thought and meditation.
I don't have any specific message today except to encourage the sentiment that is already a universal thread to everyone who remembers where they were when they heard or saw the news.
I can share that my child was born after September 11th, but in the year of 2001. It is amazing how my child asked me about the events of the day. My child has a friend in class who was born today. This generation is slowing arriving into their elementary school years and in some ways will be a mark of time and history.
I hope that you hug and love your family and friends.
I hope that you share and educate this first generation of children that were being born on and after this date in 2001.

 I send my deepest thought, my deepest regard, my deepest sentiments, my heartfelt encouragement to everyone on this day.
I hope you share, I hope you comment about your experience on this site and let me know what today means for you, and what you remember. I look forward to your stories and continued conversations.

Be Well and Gentle to your Family, Friends, and yourself.
