This was my wall post for tonight before I turn in... I write this blog FOR YOU as my thanks for being the BRIGHTER, BETTER ILLUMINATING and UPLIFTING character in MY FACEBOOK WORLD.....
I have to shake my head here. I have been getting several emails from people writing me to ask "Aimee, is it saying I am facebook stalking you, that I am obsesed with your profile page, pictures etc?? So, to ANY who find THIS post, I share this...
It is my hope that we ALL get back to a bigger knowing. Nearly ALL our humanity's problems across the board are because of a NEED for drama, and fear and judgement... Yet, the isolation and angst and all this excess worry,anxiety is NOT working out for a one of us either ....
.Facebook, like life itself, is what WE create it to be, and there has to be enough of us out there who choose to want to focus on preserving and protecting what means something to us , well IN GOOD STANDING.. and IN HIGHER VIBE!
Facebook , like ANYTHING else will always have those rare idiots who want to TRASH something that can be VITAL to us all in so many ways...
Facebook, if done right, can be a beautiful conduit so many out there could gain from...
It stands for being a gateway for CONNECTION or a REconnect. With A LAUGH. By a TOUCHING, SWEET photo we share of our loved ones,WITH our loved ones. Someone's inspirational, motivational, insightful wall post. A cool blog. A way for a soldier overseas to connect with his or her family. Friends we MISS and LOVE so much that moved overseas. A childhood friend we held dear but got busy and just lost touch with who finds us again. A great utube song or skit that we all love and forgot about shared.
How about meeting new people that we would never would have found otherwise? For me they are from California, Africa, England, France, Canada, Moscow. Thanks to Facebook, Some of the best people this world holds have found me again.... Childhood hs. friends from my earlier roots in Orford HS, WHS, from Alabama, Montana, or the ones I grew up with in Connecticut.. (Connie, Trista, Rhonda, Kent, Mark..).Yoga teachers and students from all over, even Africa that I am humbled to find, support, and share my small life with FROM MY ZIP.. (Moses, Sadick, Sam, Irene)
My kids who like to write on my wall during the day, or a yoga student who wants to say hi OFF the mat....my kids friends who appreciate my wall post to help them through turbulent teen years...
Guys, DONCHA YA SEE?
We can focus ALL OUR LIVES on DARK and things to be afraid of , or gossip or judge..
Such a fear of connecting , so it creates a need to immediately shrink back from LIGHT, from kindness, from friendships deepening...
So, it comes down to choice.... WE CAN STOP BUYING into this need to be constantly in fear..
and FOCUS instead on something GOOD, BEAUTIFUL and HOPEFUL and UPLIFTING in a human world or cyber world that can constantly have us ONLY SEEING the DARKER side of things right up our very last breath.
To be completely raw here?
I AM near 40 years WEARY and worn OUT by fear based, constant fight or flight way of thinking that only CREATING a LIVING experience that made me once only always draw back, distrust, disengage ,and disconnect.
It finally dawned on me, that all dark is afraid of light.
There are plenty of people to not engage with, but if we all go back to closing UP shop? We keep the RIGHT ONES out TOO!
Isn't there plenty more we can tune in or engage in than this UNNECCESSARY Panic of what friends WE CONFIRMED held interest or intrigue or curiousity about who we are from a place of INward expression?
I have been in awe of so many of my friends creativity, wall posts, humor , love on days I need it as much as anyone else I aim to offer when people see my page.
So, um.. NO, I was NOT laying in bed worrying and wringing my hands over which friends of mine that I allowed into my facebook world were peeking at my page.I got far better things to put energy towards. It makes me SAD that friends of mine would be so worried.
Time will be up for all of us before we know it. I for one, wish not to sit in my coffin and say "I WISH I HAD ONE MORE DAY to STEER CLEAR of PEOPLE who were kind, friendly, interested in what I had to say or write or offer or share?
Instead, I will say "I wonder what ELSE I could have done if I pulled off the freelane of FEAR based thinking and living.
Being that several people my family knows have passed away in the last 2 weeks of cancers, car wrecks, or suicide..
I wonder what THEY would say about the way we all live in fear.. in isolation... I hope now you understand me better.. Thanks for making it so FUN and ILLUMINATING for ME to share in your life..
Ps.. What is in the vibe of LIGHT and LOVE deserves to stay That way..
With Bright light, levity and love.. AImee Leona DeRoehna... Smooch!
