To Be Continued.......

Good Evening.

We are here tonight to talk about violence. Or maybe.....human nature.

We are here to talk about human nature. Wait.

A quote: A great philosopher once wrote, in times of peace, the war-like man attacks himself.

This is the root of all our problems. And, by this, I mean WE.  We are the root of all our problems.  Our confusion.  Our anger.  Our fear of things we don't understand.  Violence, in other words, is ignorance.  Figure your shit out....that's my.....what I'd say.


The above was Chapter 4 of Legions, Season 1 from the FX show.  It touches so many facets of my life right now.  OUR LIFE.  Are we all about to embark on a new war?  A new unnecessary war?  Who will stop it?  Me? You?  US??

There are some that believe that the universe (source, god, buddha, allah) downloads messages into our entertainment.  And, I fall into this category, as well.  Have you seen Arrival?  How about Dr. Strange?

Our world is moving at a fast pace.  Things are changing day by day.  How do you process everything? What is true?  What is alternative facts?  How do YOU not fear the world outside your bubble?  Your door??

I've been on an interesting path.  Most all of you know of my losses.  My dark times.  But, now, you will hear of my light.  And, I truly believe that one must know true darkness to fully appreciate the light.

Follow me down the rabbit hole, if you will.  It's safe here.  No fear, just light and love.

Stay tuned for more chapters in "raising" Kim.

Because, KIM, is still learning her superpowers.  But, she has a lot of power to light up the darkness!

Deep down inside, everyone wants to know that they are Okay.  They are safe.  Everyone. And, I believe, without a doubt, that I am. I am perfectly okay. With every thought, with every action and with every reaction, I am OK. I don't need to worry. I don't need to fear. I am exactly where I need to be and being exactly who the world needs.  (OR, at least, I try to remember this! I'm a work in progress)

Being authentically YOU is the best gift YOU can give the world.

So, let's go on this journey together......let's light up this world!!

A Sad Goodbye

A good friend of mine is leaving.  So, with every good-bye you revisit the hello.  I don't exactly remember the hello.  I remember being a bit afraid of her.  I was coming from another background that I knew a lot about, but this......this was new and SHE knew more than me.  So, I approached with trepidation. I know respect. My lovely parents taught me respect. Somehow, I reached out because I need to know the "right" answer regardless of anything else! And, I knew she knew!  She taught me stuff.  I don't have the specifics, but she did. She answered my nonsense questions. She answered my dumb questions.  She showed me how to find the answer.  And, she became my friend in the process. She become someone I could trust.

Suddenly, we were laid off.  And, she and I went our separate ways.

Life.  Life is a complicated web of the beautiful and horrific AND everything in between.  You can pick the direction of your life, but life has its own agenda and it is perfect.  Every loss is perfect.  Every smile is meant to be. Darkness is meant to show the light.  Every angry moment shows you a truth you didn't know before.  And....and...and....we learn..every day about ourselves and everyone around us.

She and I.....We met again.

I would never chose good-bye.  I would never turn my back on a friend.  But.....but, I know that every person that comes into my life is meant to be and they have their very one path to walk.  They may need to show me something or just walk with me on my path. And, even if they have to leave, I AM A BETTER PERSON having know them.  They made me better.  They walked with me as long as they could and had their own life to live.  So, if my heard aches....I know and she knows...we are connected forever.  I wish her well....and I know she would wish me the same.  I will walk with her along her path whenever she needs and I know she will gladly do the same for me.

Thank you!  Thank you for showing me that I am as good as you think I am.  And, please know that I see your beautiful light and you are alway shining wherever you go......

See ya later.....k
