Second Chance

Second Chances


A favorite Christmas movie of mine “One Magic Christmas” blends the grief of losing someone special with understanding how our actions if given a second chance can change the outcome of our life with touches of mystical blessings and being able to see a new direction and hope. During the last three years, many across our world chose either to be in grief or to see second chances during this great recess of change in humanity through economic collapse and rebuilding who we are. Being lost in the grief of what was is a choice to reflect backwards without opening the windows of possibility to the future. 

In 2006, I was told we would enter into a time when faith and trust in your beliefs could no longer be confined to one day a week to uplift and satisfaction being found in religious or spiritual beliefs, people would either find who they were within themselves each day of their lives or many would choose to cease to exist, regardless of past belief – feeling a future no longer existed for them as what they had known, collapsed.
In 2007, a world economy started to collapse, future expectations seen diminished. Not only individual suicides, suicides of entire families, parents and children have been relayed through the media and personal experiences of those we know. Once considered masterminds of finance were disclosed when the ability to no longer shield acts committed became evident, corporations propped in the hopes of stabilizing the economy while workers found no relief from economic hardship, chaos worldwide with the focus of intent in lives seemed lost when the energy of money was seen and no longer found as a true stability. Millions of people stripped from all comfort, left to find life again, and understanding. Many have by looking at the true focus of who they are as one, able to regroup, move forward and finding a passion for life, rebuilding life again from scratch and love of the possibilities they do have, rather than possibilities of being told their capabilities. Second chance and second life in being passionate about what is done in life and beliefs held which fuel a new fire from within. 

Events around our world touch hearts rather than minds being too busy and comfortable to process compassion for others. Tragedy is not just passed in reading; it is shared through social networks and discussed with the feelings captured from those of all parts of this world. Watching Egypt rise up at this time, without the armor or suicide bombers as shields – only hearts and minds connected in a quest for freedom. In many parts of this world, governments and people are following, thinking and developing understanding for not only Egypt or Tunisia, but also their own countries, peoples and beliefs and looking for a truth from within. No longer about Sunday or a day of the week, faith and trust in a second chance of the soul and faith they possess, rather than being of another in response. Second chancing the voice from within to create a world recreated, rather than only being rebuilt on the past. 

Absolutely, everyone on this planet was born with a passion and gift to give and prosper in this world. Through the persuasion and prompting of the environment around them, family, politics, and ability – passions and the gift became the hobby of life, standing second in belief of accomplishing. By human nature, a person who is financially secure and living without risk, is going to take a second chance on sharing the gift from within in exchange for losing the material stability regardless if they are happy or find any joy in what life is providing. Calm seas never prompt safety from rocking the boat. The great recess has either unfolded for each into providing a second chance at being the spirit and gift of who they are, or has left them huddled in a lifeboat waiting to be brought aboard a larger vessel which will protect and provide for them, cold to joy but safely aboard with the exterior warm again. 

I am not talking as an observer who has not experienced this recess; I took the plunge in 2007 with you. I took the challenge, fears, and hopes in understanding without regrets. I would love to hear your thoughts, from wherever you are in this world. Use the comment box to share and connect, you are the voice. Have you taken the second chance?

Safety should be considered first when granting parole

-
Today the city of Kansas City, KS is mourning the loss of detective Brad Lancaster, Hearing a call for assistance he was one of the first on the scene regarding a possible car jacking and in responding was shot and killed by a man who had received early parole, serving less than a year of a sentence and released. To hear this made me sick inside, another criminal paroled only to commit murder shortly after wards. A friend of mine in 2004 was left butchered in her flower garden by a man who she had put in prison for domestic violence who had been paroled on good behavior and was seen as not being a threat to society. Both paroled by the State of Kansas early. If records were looked at, these are probably not isolated incidents. Robin left children and grandchildren in this world, Detective Lancaster left a family, and two small children as well. Anyone who has known somebody who has been murdered does not forget. If anything is to come of these tragedies I would hope and pray t

The Parable of the Fork - Author unknown

-
I first read this about 20 years ago in a email and it came back into my head today. Once read you will never totally forget as a parable is meant to be.   The Parable of the Fork There was a woman who had been diagnosed with a deadly illness and had been given 3 months to live. Her doctor told her to start making preparations to die so she contacted her pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes. She told him which songs she wanted sung at the service, what scriptures she would like read, and what she wanted to be wearing. The woman also told her pastor that she wanted to be buried with her favorite bible.  Everything was in order and the pastor was preparing to leave when the woman suddenly remembered something very important to her. There's one more thing. She said excitedly. What's that? came the pastor's reply. This is very important. The woman continued. I want to be buried with a fork in my right hand.

Spiritual Windows – My perception

-
Spiritual Windows – My perception   I have been writing for seven years on spirituality through my website http://www.myspiritualwindows.info and in blog form, without addressing my own interpretation of Spiritual Windows. Yet, I find more individuals then ever before searching for the answer to what a spiritual window might be. Within this article, for the first time publicly I will answer that question from my own interpretation I received many years ago. Mortality chooses to find acceptance with life/death and at times reincarnation for explanation in searching beyond the known to the unknown "How do you get there?" Our world is shifting in a thirst beyond not only the written but also the evidence of the unknown. Ms.Walters segment was somewhat limited to proving or disproving the major faiths of this world such as Christianity, Muslim, and Mormon and included a very small inclusion of Spirituality and Atheists. Interesting perspectives from all interviewed, yet leavin
