Hello Steemit peeps! My name is Jaime. Well this seems like a really great group of supportive and inspiring people coming together to express themselves and be Love in action and I am so in! The written word has the power to unite us, to ignite us, to transform. I'm an avid reader of books, mostly spiritual literature these days, always uplifting. Stories were my first avenue of escapism I suppose. I would get so wrapped up in a story, a romance, a heroin finding the meaning of life and sharing it for the enlightenment of all :) How I would devour the beautiful words and the beautiful visions. My dreams were fanciful and carefree as a kid. Life was pretty good. I had a best friend growing up and she was like a sister. We would ride bikes, play in our 'fort' by the river beside my house, pretending we lived in the forest. We would meet everyday and walk to school together. We pretended we were twins because we looked so much a like. Those were the days. Not that these aren't the days too, but to be a kid again would be great wouldn't it! We'd actually appreciate how free we were. I miss those days of magic and wonder.
It's 2017 and I'm decades older than I was back then and I just feel these days like life is such a trip. It's still such a mystery, but there is one thing I know and that is I am here, I am here, and I am here, as are you, and we are here for a much bigger reason than we can possibly imagine. Anything we think, any of the many emotions that run through our bodies are only a tiny part of our evolution. Our purpose in life is to become one with that spirit inside us, that still small voice. All the rest are distractions. We must keep that sense of wonder in our hearts and have reverence for all that is true within us. The people in our lives are our teachers and we are teachers to others. We must help each other, be positive and spread Love. To be in Love is to be ONE WITH ALL. When we see beauty, that is a reflection of the beauty in our own heart. So, our outer world is an exact replica of what we feel inside. Today, as is much of the world, my home country the United States is in great turmoil. It is heartbreaking, but I know one thing we must be clear on... Our ability to stay grateful and have a positive attitude is the only way to get through the hard times. We are here to evolve, learn and grow in service and Love with each other. We can only do that when we feel Love in our hearts. We can have peace not just within ourselves, but for all those we come into contact with and all those whom they come into contact with, if we are kind. Our consciousness of that which is beyond this physical realm, beyond words, will determine and become our reality if we believe. Real presence of spirit in every moment takes practice, devotion, desire, courage and flare, but there is no greater work.
Thanks for reading. I guess this is my intro :) I am finally at a place in my life where I believe in more possibilities than in-probabilities again, I appreciate my challenges and all of life's lessons. I am able to see the blue sky through the fog (most days) and I have faith that there is a higher intelligence within me, guiding me. I hope to share some interesting stuff on here. I have many passions.. Yoga, meditation, philosophy, photography, travel, MOTHER EARTH, bathing in the sun and ocean, camping, hiking, exploring nature, my family, great friends, my husband, my dog, puppies in general, babies, helping others, meeting new people, staying connected with like minded people, sharing ideas, cooking, MUSIC, DANCE, ART.
PEACE & LOVE
