One’s computer is an extraordinarily powerful means to creating a change in the social consciousness of this world.

It was after I heard Annie Lennox’s song “SING” that I decided to simply use my computer to send her an encouraging message.

Then, I decided that since I have a bit of time and an extraordinary amount of kindness and compassion, I would try to reach as many people as I possibly could, around the world. Just to let them know that I truly DO care, and their existence matters to me.

I don’t have money yet to “change the world”, I do have purposeful intent, and an ability to type words. So, in these words that I type, “Happy Sparkle Thoughts” of positive energies and genuine kindness, hope, love, and unconditional acceptance are what I give to people.

With regards to the SING campaign, money is critical in being able to purchase life saving medications to prevent HIV/AIDS in unborn children, and medications DO greatly improve the quality of life for individuals afflicted with this virus. So does encouragement and compassion. Not only for those who have the illness, but also those individuals who tirelessly give of their very selves to help others.

Anyone who is fortunate enough to experience the luxury of having a computer, and internet access, truly CAN be making a positive difference in someone’s life. Intention is the key. Giving of one’s self, just because one CAN, is something anyone is able to do - and it is simply astounding the very REAL connections that can occur.

This wondrous universe makes a “humming” noise, one that I can hear very clearly. It may be the energies of other people’s thoughts and ideas, and perhaps their dreams. An endless fountain of water, with countless rainbows sparkling in the sun. THIS is the message of hope and inspiration I wish for others to ‘feel’, to view, and to simply BE inspired by.

I am no one special, but I DO have something to give, as do you. I am just a single drop of water in that fountain, as are you. Combined with other drops, WE can actively apply our different talents, and create even MORE positive change in this UNI~verse.

More from our Sue, “just a morsel of “food-for-thought” from my very heart and soul to yours”:

When I was very young (I was three.. and becoming very adventurous!) I remember very vividly learning a “life lesson”. It was a warm and sunny fall day- and I was walking in a field that had clover in it. To my utter joy and amazement, I saw a beautiful creature that could fly!! Please keep in mind, I was NOT experienced in the laws of nature.. and at that time, I simply thought that everything that was within my reach would be pleasant and kind. I wanted to.. take it home to be my very own “pet” (yep.. even then I was a lover of animals)- so I grabbed it in my right hand. Imagine my GREAT shock.. and puzzlement when.. it BIT me! Well, it actually stung me- and I STILL have that tiny red mark on my inside right index finger. Yes, bees do NOT want to be captured, nor do they appreciate the kind intentions of a silly toddler. I could NOT figure out why this creature had been so very “mean” to me, and I remember asking my Grandmother (she could answer almost ALL my questions with respect and honesty!) this. She told me that it was simply trying to protect itself- and that most kinds of bees will die after they have used their stinger. I remember crying for weeks about “killing the bee”- as I did not know this would happen, nor did I even know what a bee was!! I simply thought it was a singing butterfly!

Now, whenever I read that statement, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”, I relate it to my own life experience.. and kind of smile within myself. You see, sometimes beauty is meant to be admired and appreciated from a distance! For, sometimes.. if beauty is in the hand of the “bee- holder” it can sadly become death. If one does not know all the information and true facts about something- one can end up inadvertently creating chaos and destruction.

What exactly IS truth?? Well, I would venture to say it is something that remains empirically the same- no matter the continent, no matter what language is used, no matter what culture is viewing it. Like, for example, the facts about rocks. No matter what language one uses, no matter where upon this planet you find one, no matter who finds it.. a rock is a rock, is.. a rock! How one happens to “feel” about rocks is a totally different matter. I happen to feel that rocks are quite magical, special.. and I simply LOVE rocks! Someone else may.. not have any “feelings” at ALL about rocks- one way or the other. Is that person “wrong”? Absolutely not! Each person has the right, or power, to “feel” any way they choose to about any aspect of life. Trying to force someone to believe, or “feel” exactly the same way that YOU choose to about a specific topic or object.. IS inherently wrong. It is simply being disrespectful of that person’s “inner soul- as-they-exist-at-that-moment-in-time”.

Each person CAN change whatever they want to about themselves, at any given moment in their life! This can be true of their outward appearance, or their inner- most thoughts and feelings (these two subjects happen to be very separate for me.. you may choose to think or believe differently.. and that is great!). I do “think” that humans are incredibly fortunate in having this degree of awareness and control about themselves. We can constantly improve, or change something about ourselves that we “think” or “feel” is distressful or unpleasing. One might want to search within themselves to be sure that they are NOT changing simply to “please someone else”.. for this means whatever “change” you make will simply not be your own. To truly CHANGE something, you should take responsibility for it.. and find that happiness and joy within your soul that will let you know that what you are doing is the “right” thing for you.

So, dear mysterious reader, and friends, I do hope that whatever you are doing this day (or evening) is pleasing to your very “sense of being”- and.. does NOT sting or bite you! Happy Sparkle Thoughts.

Appreciating this thought/feeling/heart-stimulating promo for the new Gregg Braden book, ‘The Spontaneous Healing of Belief’, so wanting to share it with you:

Yes miracles are possible!

Does one size fit all?!

Have you noticed … how we put ourselves in self-imposed prison by giving things, in our now experience, disempowering references to everything they’ve meant in our life before now, even if the references are things we heard / read and didn’t even experience! I notice generalizations tripping off tongues around me and wonder, is that really true, is that now, is that applicable to all as you are making it, is that what you want to give attention to, could you create a new reality?

Are there exceptions? Could that be our expectation? Why put all people with the same “label” in the same box? Are we labelling people based on our own limited perceptions? Are we being compulsive or conscious when we say these things?

Are our perceptions paralyzing us or freeing us?

How present are we to our perceptions?

Further to Mum’s post talking out the subject of needless worries about the future having a detrimental effect on our life now … living in fear in the future and missing out on the potential of now …

Whether you believe in Jesus or not, what could we notice from these words now?:

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his span of life? 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O men of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well. 34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day’s own trouble be sufficient for the day.

Anxiety, a state of uneasiness and apprehension, as about future uncertainties, is neither necessary nor helpful. It makes us heavy and slower and more indecisive. As Mum mentioned, being anxious is not fun for those around you either! I like Pete Koerner’s first word in reply to my question, “What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?” - “Relax”. Aaahh.
Now is the best time to free yourself from needless worries.

Flowers do not compete or create effort and stress, they simply add to the beauty of the whole.

What part are we playing in the colourful carpet of creation? Are we being a flow~er?

Today, would you consider growing from fretting to the fragrance of fun and flow?

Let go and let good.

Would you contemplate ‘Trust’?

Would you notice your beauty?

Be the lily in the field.
