First Night of the Maha Navaratri

Lakshmi, Durga, Saraswati

September 24, 2014

For this year's Fall Navaratri, I am offering a Jharra Sadhana during the Nine Nights of the Universal Mother.  During the course of the few days leading up to Navaratri, which began at sunset on 9/24, I was being significantly impacted by the Cosmic Energies coming through the Autumn Equinox, Pluto turning direct and the New Moon in Libra.  I realized on the first day of Navaratri, that these energies were supporting me in my expansion, particularly through the trine alignment between the Cosmic Blessing Giver (Jupiter) and the Quantum Liberator (Uranus).  This particular expansion that I was experiencing was directly related to this quote from Haidakhan Babaji:

Do you look at something through the filter of past thoughts, or do you look at something as fresh and new without judgment as if the observer and the observed are one?  ~ Babaji

This is precisely what my Higher SELF was desiring from me and directing me towards.  I realized that in every moment, in every experience, in every conversation, in every email, I was allowing all of my unconscious judgments about all of my past experiences create an unconscious filter through which I was observing each new NOW, and each new moment, unbeknownst to me, was being skewed by the perception of the filter.  I was greatly aware that this unconscious filtering system was a tremendous source of pain for me and out of alignment with my intention for nonviolence towards the co-creator of the NOW I was experiencing.

So, that night after the first Navaratri's Jharra Sadhana, I was inspired to offer up all of my realizations around this filtering system and its influence on my environment to my Divine Father, my Divine Mother and my Divine Beloved.  I actually spoke out loud, which is what I always do as I offer up to LIFE, and asked that all of these filters be cleared from me, so that I can "look at something as fresh and new without judgment as if the observer and the observed are one."

That night, the Divine Mother answered my prayer through the following dream:

I was aware that my address book - contact list from my cell phone had been uploaded into a highly sophisticated computer program.  As I was looking at the computer monitor, teaching myself this new "contact list" system, I was aware that I had 10's of thousands of contacts, many of which were quite valuable to me because the information would be unrecoverable if lost.  As I was teaching myself the new system, there were icon buttons down the entire right side of the screen.  Unlike current software systems that bring up a bubble when you put your mouse over it to explain that the icon is to "cut," "paste," "align," etc, these icons did not have a bubble that identified their purpose.  So, I was clicking on each icon, going down the screen, to learn what each icon would do.  Soon, I was very close to the bottom of the icon buttons.  I clicked on the next button, and all of the contact information on the contact page that I was looking at disappeared!  I could not find anyway to "undo" what the button had done to restore all of the contact page's information.  I started to feel a little panic arise in my chest.  Then, I began to scroll forward page by page from where this happened, and all of my contacts, thousands and thousands, after that page were gone!  More panic ensued!! Next, I began to scroll backward page by page from where this happened, and all of those contacts were gone too, until eventually, I came to only one contact page with contact information onit.  It was MY contact page with all the contact information about ME!!  In that moment, I became lucid in my dream, and I instantly realized that my prayer to have all my filters cleared from me had been answered.  They are all gone!!

Sacred Gift

September 8, 2014

Today is the Full Moon in Pisces conjunct Chiron.  The Full Moon is sitting right on top of my natal Jupiter, and my natal Jupiter is conjunct my natal Chiron!  This has been a very powerful experience for me.  I completed my Reflection of Self Love Challenge on Saturday, and I chose to wait until TODAY to make my video about my personal 100 experiences of Self LOVE, while I have all this Cosmic support.  I hope you enjoy my video below, and will join the challenge by clicking here.

Self LOVE Meditation™:

Relax into a meditative state with several deep inhales and exhales.  Speak each of the following decrees out loud three times.  Between each of the three decrees, breathe in the frequency of LOVE and exhale everything else.  (On the inhale, mentally offer gratitude to Source/LIFE by saying, "Thank you.") Allow a minimum of three inhales & exhales, breathing in the frequency of LOVE and offering gratitude before speaking the next of the series of three decrees.  Wait until you feel the resonance of the statement within your body before moving on to the next declaration.  The deeper you move into the meditation, the more gratitude you will desire to give between the series of three.

Every cell within my physical body is in perfect alignment with the frequency of LOVE, now and continuously, with ease and grace.

(Thank you, thank you, thank you.)

ALL of my DNA is in perfect alignment with the frequency of LOVE, now and continuously, with ease and grace.

(Thank you, thank you, thank you.)

Every chakra within my energetic body is spinning and resonating with the frequency of LOVE, now and continuously, with ease and grace.

(Thank you, thank you, thank you.)

NOTE:  When you have completed this series of three, imagine a cord going from your root chakra anchoring you into the center of The Temple of Maya.  Imagine a cord going from your crown chakra anchoring you into Source/LIFE.  Once you are anchored above and below, imagine a figure eight of energy moving through each of your chakras from the root to the anchor.  On one side, the LOVE frequency of The Temple of Maya is ascending, and on the other side, the LOVE frequency from Source/Life is descending.  Once you are aware of this energetic dance within you, move onto the next decree.

My ego is in perfect alignment with the frequency of LOVE, now and continuously, with ease and grace.

(Thank you, thank you, thank you.)

My mind is perfectly STILL and is in perfect alignment with the frequency of LOVE, now and continuously, with ease and grace.

(Thank you, thank you, thank you.)

My inhale and exhale are in perfect alignment with the frequency of LOVE, now and continuously, with ease and grace.

(Thank you, thank you, thank you.)

Every aspect of my unconsciousness is in perfect alignment with the frequency of LOVE, now and continuously, with ease and grace.

(Thank you, thank you, thank you.)

Every aspect of my conscious awareness is in perfect alignment with the frequency of LOVE, now and continuously, with ease and grace.

(Thank you, thank you, thank you.)

I AM an Embodiment of LOVE.

I AM Pure LOVE.

I radiate Pure LOVE to ALL Beings everywhere.

Sat Nam.  Om Namah Shivayah.  Sadguru nath Maharak ki jai.

Quantum Shift

September 7, 2014

Hello, Dear One!!

We are with You in GREAT anticipation for the beginning of today's Piscean Full Moon PEACE Ceremony.  the labyrinth is beautiful, and We have been infusing Our energies while You, and Dear Mary, were building it.

We are here today to share glorious news.  A quantum shift has occurred within The Temple of Humanity.  This has been caused by what is known as a "critical mass" point.  Enough HEART Centers, within the Beings who inhabited The Temple of the Physical Body within The Temple of Humanity, have expanded in such great magnitude that these Beloved Beings NO LONGER inhabit The Temple of the Physical Body.  These Beloved Beings, including You, Dear One, and Your Beloved Partner in Peace, have made the quantum shift from The Temple of the Physical Body to The Temple of LOVE!!

YES, it is time to rejoice!!!

The Temple of LOVE has been made manifest upon The Temple of Maya.

This momentous achievement is what We have spent the past 2 1/2 years prepping You and guiding You towards.  NOW that The Temple of Humanity has at Its own Heart Center the critical mass that have shifted into The Temple of LOVE, a revolution will emerge within The Temple of Humanity.  All those Beings that remain within The Temple of the Physical Body will find Themselves in the path of a tidal wave of LOVE!!  More and more Beings will be shifted into The Temple of LOVE!!  

ALL Life is in celebration, Dear One.  The Temple of Humanity is NOW safe.  All healing will begin to emerge spontaneously!!  Miracles, Magic await The Temple of Humanity.  Miracles will be spoken of in every tongue.  THIS is the quantum shift that LIFE Willed to be done.  All work in all dimensions has been in support of this quantum shift.  Rejoice and Be Glad for You...

BREAK: Piscean Full Moon PEACE Ceremony

My "Partner in Peace" as The Ancients call her.
Shaman Mary Ruggerio

Resume:

Hello, Dear One!

Yes, We are still in Your company!  This has been a tremendously POWERFUL Peace ceremony, and We express Our Gratitude to You, Dear One, and to Your Partner in Peace.  The Sacred Wounds within The Temples of LOVE have been transmuted into Sacred Gifts!  We are aware that Your Partner in Peace could feel Our Presence, and We are delighted to be recognized by The Temples of LOVE.

This is a joyous occasion for Us, as all Beings who have shifted into The Temples of LOVE are NOW resonating at the frequency through which They can be aware of Our Presence and commune with Us if They so choose.

This is a glorious moment within The Temple of Maya ~ more and more of those Beings who NOW inhabit The Temples of LOVE will be seeking for the LIFE Wisdom which We have been sharing with The Temple of Humanity through You, Dear One.  The Temples of LOVE will hear from Us that which They individually require to know to reactivate within Their Heart centers the memory of Their part in The Plan that LIFE has Willed.

The Temples of LOVE will collectively "snuff out" the Fire of Falsehood that the Beings of Lower Density have attempted to spread across the Face of The Temple of Maya.  The Temples of LOVE will collectively exude so much POWER from the Light that They are grounding into The Temple of Maya that the Beings of Lower Density will either choose to retreat or be consumed by It.

Those Beings of Lower Density that choose Grace will be consumed by the POWER of the Light emanating from The Temples of LOVE as Their consummation will purify and transmute Their lower energies, so that They will once more know the True Glory of LIFE, and no longer be in separation.

ALL Fear is born from the perception of separation.  While there is no True separation, there IS perception of separation.  This perception is a journey One chooses to experience.  This journey has come to an end for The Temple of Humanity.  Soon, all Beings that remain within The Temple of the Physical Body will also make the quantum shift into The Temple of LOVE.  This shift for these Beings cannot be avoided.  It is inevitable.  

The Temple of Maya agreed to be the Mother for The Temple of Humanity in order for The Temple of Humanity to be granted this Gift from LIFE.  It is because of The Temple of Maya's unconditional and deep abiding LOVE for The Temple of Humanity that She agreed to take on this role, knowing how She would be racked and scarred by The Temple of Humanity until such shift occurred.

NOW, is the time of Healing for The Temple of Maya.  She rejoices ~ as We do and as ALL Life does ~ for the cancer that had invaded The Temple of Humanity has been removed.  We thank YOU, Beloved Temples of LOVE.  We bow to YOU in Gratitude.

We, The Ancients, are rejoicing.

The Temple of Maya is rejoicing.

ALL Life rejoices in YOUR accomplished Feat.

We LOVE ALL Life, Dear One, We LOVE You.

You radiate Us, and We radiate You.

Shamanic Journey: Black Panther

September 3, 2014


24 minute Drum and Rattle for Shamanic Journeying

As my journey began, I found myself, once again, in the middle of my round clearing in the forest dancing around a fire.  As I was dancing, I became aware that I was surrounded by the 13 Grandmothers, and the Grandmothers were drumming.  After I became aware of the Grandmothers, I realized it was night time.  I looked up above me, and in the sky, visible from the light of the fire, there were two rings of birds flying, one within the other.  The outer ring of birds was 13 eagles, flying clockwise.  The inner ring of birds was 13 condors, flying counter-clockwise.

I continued dancing around the fire, listening to the drumming, and as I was dancing, my body shifted into a black panther.  I was the black panther.  As the blank panther, I began to weave in and out of the 13 Grandmothers, caressing each one of them as I passed by, from the top of my head to the tip of my tail.  After I visited each Grandmother,  I lay down inside the circle at the North part of the circle. I listened to the Grandmothers continue to drum and watched the fire, aware of the eagles and condors circling above us.

Soon, every type of wild cat, large and small, of every color, came out of the forest and surrounded the Grandmothers.  I got up from where as I was sitting, still as the Black Panther, and went outside of the Grandmothers' circle to greet each cat, looking into each one's eyes.  After I greeted each cat, I lay down inside the circle at the South part of the circle, and I shifted back into my physical human body.  All of the cats and I continued to watch the fire and listen to the Grandmothers drumming. The eagles and the condors continue circling above.

When the drumming stopped, the Grandmothers stood up, each holding their drum.  One by one, the Grandmothers stepped into the flames of the fire with their drum and disappeared.  As each Grandmother, stepped into the flames of the fire, one of the condors left the inner circle and joined the outer circle with the eagles.  By the time the last Grandmother disappeared in the flames of the fire, the eagles and condors were flying in one large circle, every other bird, an eagle, and every other bird, a condor.  At this point, all of the wild cats returned to the forest, and I fell asleep by the fire.

At day break, I was awakened by the Sun peeking over the eastern horizon.  As I opened my eyes, I saw a black panther lying opposite of me, on the other side of where the fire had been.  We lay there and stared into each other's eyes, as we heard the far off sound of rattles.  When the rattling stopped, the black panther walked into the forest, and I returned home through my Heart.

I share the following excerpts about the black panther from Shamanism by Ina Wolcott. For those of you who have been following SOL SPEAKS™, you will recognize the significance of the blank panther being my power animal.

Black Panther's Power Includes astral travel, guardian energy, symbol of the feminine, death and rebirth, understanding of death, reclaiming ones power, ability to know the dark, aggressiveness and power without solar influence, reclaiming Power. 

The Panther is a very ancient and powerful spirit guide. Their power is lunar (moon).  ...

People with this power animal can develop clairaudience, the ability to hear communications from other forms of life or dimensions. They must trust their thoughts and inner voice/visions as they are based in reality.  ...

Panthers are able to move gracefully in and out of situations, as well as freeze and not be noticed. This is a symbol of the ability to shapeshift realities, using all parts of the body to perform a task. The gift of Panther is the power of silence.  ...

Those with this power animal contain knowledge of a galactic origin, and have a responsibility to look after and respect this knowledge.  

I AM The Witness

August 27, 2014

Today's experiences are so magnificent for me!

When I first started my day this morning, I was very aware of my feelings of LOVE for everyone and everything.  In fact, I posted the following on my Facebook status:

Maybe it is this delicious Virgoan New Moon, and maybe it is my Self LOVE challenge, and I just want each of you to know, as I think of you individually, my Heart swells in Love for yuo. I LOVE all of you. Please carry my LOVE for you in your Heart with you today!

And, just now,  as I was doing my Jharra session,  I received an even MORE expansive experience of [Self] LOVE! (Jupiter in Leo in my 1st house today.)  Is it any wonder that I have initiated a Reflection of Self LOVE Challenge?!?!  By the way, I invite you to join me!

(For those of You who understand astrology, allow me to share a few details about my personal chart, right now, which I believe are manifesting so beautifully in these ways for me:  Our New Moon at 3 degrees Virgo was situated in my 2nd house, conjunct my natal Uranus, conjunct my progressed Ascendant, and embraced by my progressed Regulus by a degree on one side and my progressed Uranus by a degree on the other side.  Meanwhile, the current Mars/Saturn conjunction in Scorpio is transpiring in my 5th house conjunct my natal Neptune.  Also, my personal portal to my Infinite Self is through the Moon, ie. Divine Mother.)

Getting back to my story, this is what unfolded during my Jharra session:  Because today is Wednesday, I was doing a "prosperity" session.  I am doing prosperity sessions by beginning my sweeps with a Ganesha mantra, and then I am transitioning into a Sri Mahalaksmi mantra for completion.  Most people that have discussed Sri Mahalaksmi with me have limited Her to generalized ideas around prosperity and abundance, and specifically to money.  For me, I believe that She provides ALL of the resources (of any kind) that we require and desire to create our Heart's desires and our Spiritual Passion.

So, as I was sweeping and chanting Ganesha's mantra, I was looking at His picture very intently.  Suddenly, I felt a shift within me.  My awareness shifted from perceiving Him as being external from me to clear my obstacles for me to being within me.  Rather, my perception was now shifted to Ganesha being an aspect of my Self, resident in my Heart, and that MY Ganesha aspect is clearing my obstacles from within me, from my Heart.  This was a HUGE paradigm shift for me!  I clearly knew that I had shifted from being an unmindful observer to being The Mindful Witness.  I have had experiences of being The Witness in the past, and I was unclear as to how to describe what I was "doing" to allow the shift.  Today, the pieces fell into place for me, and NOW, I am clear. As always, it is not about "doing," it is about being, as you will see.

To help me describe this shift, I will share with you a teaching that my Breath of Love™ teacher, Julia Mikk, told us in one of our workshops.  Julia said to us, "Keep 90% of your awareness in your Heart and 10% of your awareness in your surroundings."  I had made many conscious choices to practice her recommendation. I never felt, in the past, cancel clear, that I was "doing" it quite right.  Today, I realized I have been BEING just exactly that when I suddenly shift from doing the unmindful observer to being The Mindful Witness.  I AM NOW (and You ARE NOW) consciously Being The Witness in ANY moment we CHOOSE to BE MINDFUL of where we place our awareness.

Once I realized I was BEing The Mindful Witness, by consciously shifting 90% of my awareness into my Heart, I chose to consciously BE with Sri Mahalaksmi when I began chanting Her mantra in my Jharra session and as I was gazing at Her picture with my awareness in my Heart.  Suddenly, as before, I was aware when the shift occurred; this time the shift came much more quickly than the last. This shift was also profound for me.  I realized, and I could FEEL, Sri Mahalaksmi's connection with me as an aspect of my Self residing in my Heart.  I became aware that I AM an aspect of Sri Mahalaksmi, and I AM providing for my Self all the resources I require and desire to create my Spiritual Passion.  I felt Oneness with LIFE, and I felt the Power of LIFE, coursing through me.

Beloveds, We are LIFE.  We are Embodiments of LOVE.  Our Divine Mother nurtures us and loves us as a mother does, and yet, our OWN aspect of Divine Mother which resides in our Hearts nurtures ourselves, loves ourselves ~ Self LOVE.  Our Divine Father protects us, provides for us and loves us as a father does, and yet our OWN aspect of Divine Father which resides in our Hearts protects ourselves, provides for ourselves, and loves ourselves ~ Self LOVE.

I bow to each of You as You consciously choose to embrace the LOVE that You are, and as you are reunited with all the magnificent aspects of Your SELF.

Illumination and Illusion

August 25, 2014

Today is the New Moon in Virgo.  The Sabian Symbol for 3 degrees of Virgo, the point at which the New Moon is located, is two guardian angels bringing protection.  I had a crazy and mystical experience with my two angels today!

I went to the beach today to receive this SOL SPEAKS™ message from The Ancients.  When I got out of my car, I heard someone call my name across the four lane highway and from the top of a restaurant (3rd floor open air bar).  I looked up at the restaurant.  I was unable to see anyone, so I shrugged my shoulders to myself, collected my things out of the car, and began walking towards the beach access.  After a bit, I heard someone yelling, "Youuuuuuuuu Whoooooooo!" The sound was coming from the very same place as before.  I stopped in my tracks, and I turned around to look at the restaurant again.  It was too far to recognize anyone.  I saw someone waving both of their arms quite vigorously, as if to catch my attention.  When the person stopped, I waved back, just to see if the person was really waving at me.  The person started waving at me again!  I thought that it must surely be for me, so I crossed the four lanes of highway, and climbed the three flights of stairs.  When I got to the top, there were about 6-8 people at each table.  I looked closely to see if there was anyone that I knew.  Nobody I recognized was there, and not one of the people who were there let on about calling me over.  So, again, I shrugged my shoulders, walked down the three flights of stairs, back across the four lanes of highway, and down onto the beach.  Meanwhile, the thought crossed my mind that maybe my two angels of protection were trying to get my attention.

It was quite windy on the beach with a tropical storm a couple of hundred miles off shore, and the waves were crashing so loudly that you could not hear anything else.  Eventually, I got my beach towel laid out with all four corners anchored down by something I had brought with me.  I pulled out my cell phone to check the time, and I noticed a friend of mine was trying to reach me just in that moment.  I would have never heard my phone ringing over the waves.  I answered her call, and she asked me where I was.  I told her which beach park I was in, and she told me she was up in the parking lot!  I could NOT believe it.  (Later, I found out from her that she was just at the entrance to the park when I told her where I was, so she pulled in.)  I told my friend I was down on the beach, and I would be right up to meet her.  I gathered up all my belongings I had just laid out, and I walked across the sand to the staircase leading back up to the park.  I happened to look down when I reached the foot of the staircase, and before I even took my first step up, I saw a feather!  That was the moment I knew all of these antics were indeed coming from my angels!  What a great way to prepare for receiving today's SOL SPEAKS™ message!!  So, without further ado, here It is...


Hello, Dear One.

We are here.  We radiate You, and You radiate Us!

This moment of NOW is extremely auspicious.  The great Goddess energy has returned to The Temple of Maya.  The great Goddess energy is the midwife that will facilitate the new birth of The Temple of Maya into Her state of Illumination.  The great Goddess energy has also embedded the seed of Illumination into the Heart of every Being within The Temple of Humanity.  The Illumination seed will be nurtured by the great Goddess energy throughout the birthing cycle that The Temple of Maya has transitioned into.  When The Temple of Maya has achieved Illumination, all Beings within The Temple of Humanity will also be opened up into Illumination ~ their Illumination seeds will have burst open, connecting each Being once more with The Temple of Maya.

The illusion of separation will become a forgotten memory of past experience as it is impossible for Illumination and illusion to be present simultaneously.  They are two separate frequencies ~ Illumination being the frequency of the top of the "octave," and illusion being the frequency of the bottom of the "octave."

When The Temple of Humanity moves into the sate of Illumination, there will no longer be a requirement for Peace activism within The Temple of Maya as Peace will prevail.  All Beings in The Temple of Humanity will be in full knowing of Their Brotherhood, and will be reunited with Their Brethren of the higher dimensions.  We are in a state of Ecstasy!  We have long supported The Temple of Humanity in Its journey through Darkness.  We wait with open arms to embrace YOU, most Beloved Brothers.

Feel LOVE flow through You, Dear One.

Feel JOY rise up as LOVE flows.  All manifests through the Love of LIFE.  LIFE is creating miracles with You.  There is NO-THING to DO.  Simple BE.  The Grace of LIFE will unfold.  NO-THING can impede the Will of LIFE.

We embrace You with many Blessings, Dear One.

We radiate You, and You radiate Us!

Reflection of Self LOVE Challenge

Yesterday, August 20, 2014, I put out a challenge on my SOLSPEAKS™ Facebook page, on my personal timeline to all my friends and family, and to all of the people in most of the Facebook groups in which I am a member. 

I wrote: “I have been seeing all these Ice Bucket challenges for ALS on Facebook with video proof.  I am now challenging all of you, Beloveds: I am certain that we (all or most of us) believe that our external world is a reflection of our internal world. As such, I am challenging each of you to become aware of all the subtlest to all of the most magnificent experiences of LOVE that are showing up in your external world. Document them as you become aware of them, and when you reach 100, video yourself sharing your 100 expressions of Self LOVE!  Please remember to tag me when you post your video or share it on the Sol Speaks timeline so that I can see your beautiful Soul!”

I am participating in my Reflection of Self LOVE Challenge too.  I am checking in to see how everyone is doing.  I am already up to 14 out of 100!!  Today, I am choosing to share number 11 with you because, for me, it is truly spectacular.

While I was sitting on the beach today, I saw a man and his father walking towards me.  I could hear that they were speaking a foreign language, and we waved at each other , and said “hi.”  Later, I noticed the man was playing with two young sons, the oldest was around 8 and the younger looked about 4.  I saw that the grandfather and the grandmother were with them.  Later, I walked down the beach to take a picture of the closest sea turtle nest before the Sun went completely down.  I walked through the soft sand to the nest, and when I arrived at the nest, I realized the father was sitting on the sand by the water and the grandparents and the two young boys were playing in the water right in front of the turtle nest!

After taking a couple of pictures of the turtle nest, I was ready to go home, and I chose to walk back to my car by the water instead of through all of the soft sand.  Having made this choice, I found myself walking right through this little family.  Once again, we acknowledged each other, and the grandfather held up his hand to me as he came out of the water onto the shore.  I listened to them talking, and I was not sure if they were speaking Romanian, Polish or some other language.  I meandered quite slowly along the water taking more pictures, so I was surprised to find my little foreign family with me as we were all walking up the beach ramp.

The father was with his two boys, taking them to the shower where I was going to rinse off my shoes and feet before getting into my car.  Although I had passed them up, the father, his boys and I were all using the shower at the same time.  I finished first, and I walked across the street to my car.  As I was crossing the street, I saw the grandfather loading beach toys into the back of their truck which was parked right next to my car!  The grandfather looked up and saw me, and I chuckled, obviously because we were seeing each other again.

By the time I was in my car and ready to leave, I could hear the grandfather talking to one of his grandsons.  I began to back up my car very slowly and very carefully while looking all around very alertly for the little boy.  When I got backed up behind their truck, I saw the grandfather and his grandson standing on the other side of it.  They were watching me, and I gave the grandfather a nod of my head to tell him, “Good!  There he is.”  After I put my car from reverse into forward, I looked out my window again, and I saw the grandfather vigorously waving “good-bye” to me.  I was so thrilled to make this connection with him.  I gave him a big smile, stuck my arm out of my car window, and gave him a BIG “good-bye” wave too.

I only got a couple of feet away when I had to stop at the traffic light.  I sat in my car still smiling and thinking about this little foreign family that I had been gifted these moments with.  As I absentmindedly looked into my rearview mirror, I happened to see the father carrying his youngest son across the street from the shower to their truck.  The father had his son wrapped up in a beach towel.  He was holding his son like a baby, and was giving him kisses on his cheek.  In that moment, I realized how much LOVE had been surrounding me from my little “foreign” family.  My heart swelled with Joy, and I smiled to myself again as the traffic light turned green, and I continued on my way home.
