You can turn every ugly and damaging drama into a genuine blessing by seeing it differently. No one is suffering on purpose. We learn to give up the pleasure we feel in self-righteously blaming others. Healing happens when we see things differently. The question is: do you want suffering or peace? It's that simple.

Donna Goddard, Waldmeer

Life is energy and, as such, it belongs to all, reaches all, and blesses all.

Saturn in Aries: “Scars fade with time. And the ones that never go away, well, they build character, maturity, caution.” ― Erin McCarthy

Saturn in Taurus: “Maturity, one discovers, has everything to do with the acceptance of ‘not knowing.” ― Mark Z. Danielewski, House of Leaves

Saturn in Gemini: “Don't you understand that we need to be childish in order to understand? Only a child sees things with perfect clarity, because it hasn't developed all those filters which prevent us from seeing things that we don't expect to see.” ― Douglas Adams

Saturn in Cancer: “Childhood isn't just those years. It's also the opinions you form about them afterward. That's why our childhoods are so long.” ― Kim Stanley Robinson

Saturn in Leo: “In the end, it's a mental maturity to let your best come out.” ― Lindsey Vonn

Saturn in Virgo: “If you’re any good at all, you know you can be better.” ― Lindsay Buckingham

Saturn in Libra: “Maturity implies otherness... The art of living is the art of living with.” ― Julius Gordon

Saturn in Scorpio: “To live with fear and not be afraid is the final test of maturity.” ― Edward Weeks

Saturn in Sagittarius: “Sometimes problems don’t require a solution to solve them; instead they require maturity to outgrow them.” ― Steve Maraboli

Saturn in Capricorn: “Maturity is when you stop complaining and making excuses in your life; you realize everything that happens in life is a result of the previous choice you’ve made and start making new choices to change your life.” ― Roy T. Bennett

Saturn in Aquarius: “Being popular or not, having company or being alone, are not issues of concern for the developed soul.” ― Donna Goddard

Saturn in Pisces: “There are many forms of love as there is moments in time, and you are capable of feeling them all at different stages of your life.” ― Shannon Alder

STUPIDITY QUOTE 2 OF 3

Friday, November 17, 2023

"Some people believe that arrogance is a forgivable sign of confidence. They do not understand that arrogance makes them unteachable. It comes from fear. Fear of not knowing. Fear of being stupid. Fear of being wrong. Arrogance is a protection—a faulty one." – Donna Goddard, Geboor: Spiritual Fiction

"We mustn't withdraw from human interaction because it can be difficult. It keeps us grounded and helps us grow through real and challenging situations. We do not need to decide which community to belong to. We just live life to the best of our ability and follow our interests and we will find ourselves within a community of people perfect for our growth."

--Donna Goddard, Love's Longing

Good morning. 🕊️🕊️🕊️

It's Memorial Day in the United States and a lot of people have the day off. I like to kid around and say that I have a long weekend, but now-a-days, all of my weekends are seven-day weekends. Unless you count what I'm doing right now as work.

My office window faces west and I keep the shades open in the morning. The morning light is just now starting to illuminate the yard outside, it's peaceful. Peacefulness is a state that I cherish. As some of you know, I sometimes just sit outside and watch the clouds pass and the forest just be green.

“A balanced inner calmness radiates from a peaceful center. It neither craves others' approval nor rejects others' presence. It neither pulls towards nor pushes away. It has a reverent attitude towards life and all its inhabitants.” - Donna Goddard, The Love of Devotion

When you can be still and still dance, you are a great dancer. When you can move and still be still, you are a greater dancer.

Congresswoman Donna Fern Edwards (born June 28, 1958) is a politician who served as the Representative for Maryland’s 4th congressional district (2008-17). The district includes most of Prince George’s County, as well as part of Anne Arundel County. She is a member of the Democratic Party.

A lawyer and longtime community activist, she defeated a 15-year incumbent in the 2008 Democratic primary and, following his resignation, won a special election on June 17, 2008. She became the first African-American woman to represent Maryland. She ran for a full term in November 2008, defeating the Republican candidate with 85% of the vote. She ran for Senate in 2016 in the primary to replace retiring Barbara Mikulski instead of running for re-election to her Congressional seat but was defeated.

She sponsored an amendment to the Constitution that would repeal the 2010 Supreme Court ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission.

She was born in Yanceyville, North Carolina. She earned BAs in English and Spanish from Wake Forest University, where she was one of only six African American women in the class of 1980. After working for Lockheed Corporation at the Goddard Space Flight Center with the Spacelab program, she attended and earned a JD in 1989 from the Franklin Pierce Law Center. She worked for Albert Wynn as a clerk, when he served in the Maryland House of Delegate.

She co-founded and served as the first ED of the National Network to End Domestic Violence. She worked to pass the 1994 Violence Against Women Act.

She worked with Public Citizen, and then as the ED of the Center for a New Democracy. She became the ED of the Arca Foundation, taking a leave of absence during her political campaign.

In the spring of 2015, she, along with several other members of the House of Representatives, introduced the Restoring Education and Learning Act to bring back Pell Grants to prisoners. Her press release outlines numerous advantages to prisoner education, including net benefits to taxpayers who bear the costs of recidivism.

She is a national co-chair of the progressive group Health Care Voter. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #zetaphibeta
