I am impressed by those that make it evident they read the content of my profile & place value & emphasis on True & Real things that have Meaning & Matter!!!************************************************************ THE FOLLOWING PORTION does NOT pertain to RECENT EVENTS but a Distant Past which WILL STAY ON MY PAGE,REMAINING UNCHANGED SINCE I HAVE BEEN CONTACTED SEVERAL TIMES SAYING IT MADE A SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN PREVENTING DAMAGE IN OTHER'S LIVES~Therefore Worth KEEPING here.....I have decided to dispense & turn all my energy into WORTHY CAUSES that have need of my abilities to impact these issues instead of allowing any distraction of so-called "love" in a past personal relationship to hinder & attempt to turn me inside out, only as an attempt to use my compassionate nature as ammunition against me just to inflict harm. I can't help another's insistence to be miserable while they remain blind to what they had & just how good they had it, broadcasting to everyone the truth about themselves but portraying those atrocities as mine. I don't have time or energy to waste on infantile games or the BS I won't tolerate & of course the name has been ommitted to protect the guilty of their own horrendousness, unlike the complete opposite & lies from thier end with the tables turned. Well I can't hold onto NOTHING anymore while they continue to go so far outta their way to make themselves an enemy & complete stranger to me. Keep trying to do as much unfounded malicious damage as possible, while showing the extent of the ugliness capable, CAN'T HURT ME ANYMORE since you wanna make yourself non-existent to me. Once DEAD TO ME there's NOTHING TO REMIND ME. Guess you gotta prove to yourself after such extensive damage where there's NO COMING BACK after the fact, just how wretchedly WRONG YoU are, resulting in your eventual regret of how dispicable you treated the ONE who TRULY loved you while giving you EVERY reason (& then some) to be happy & appreciate me. So continue to spew your putrid filth about yourself & call it mine. I could care less what the likes of you or people without a life, stupid enough to feed into or believe your trash think. It's already apparent how guilty the one is who feels it's necessary to go so far out of thier way, stooping to incredible lengths on a smear campaign to CONVINCE the small minded, but sh*t talking will always be JUST THAT = talking SH*T = Heresay without any basis of FACT...& TRASH NEVER MATTERS but the ones that DO are those who KNOW me LOVE ME, SEE ME & KNOW the TRUTH, so back on track to PRIORITIES...************************************************** THERE IS MUCH TO BE DONE that those like me can band together in a unified effort to make a compounded difference from what it's become or IS presently. We desperately need CHANGE or at least serious modification of current existing systems. There should never be a tolerable time for apathy & one should not have to be directly affected to be passionate about these realities! There is a multitude of ways we as individuals can approach these topics whether it's using our voices to speak out, or through art, music, poetry, dance, performing arts, charity events, establishing contact with authorities, petitioning, creating & promoting further exposure, awareness & support, join & get involved, ACTION. Whatever outlet(s)
posessed we can utilize all these variations to make a difference for the betterment of our community & the world. TIME FOR US TO OPEN OUR EYES, EARS & HEARTS & WAKE THE OTHERS AROUND US SLEEPING!!! The following is a partial summarized version of issues that are important to me but certainly not limited to just those mentioned herein (no particular order) I encourage anyone who is passionate, currently involved or wants to be, in implementing CHANGE, to add me & if you have any songs, material, links or creative expressions pertaining to any of the below referenced let me know and I will do my part to distribute & circulate it for this long overdue AWAKENING.................................

Where do YOU stand or will we all fall when it's accumulated beyond repair & it's too late because we failed to make the differences necessary NOW?....................................................................I live by Ultimate Enlightenment (perfect union of body, mind, spirit trinity) sharing my gifts/lessons & creative expressions by various mediums. Above any acclaim, consider my greatest contribution an existence of compassion/servitude to others...For a summarized view about me & my outlook in life you can view my homepage @ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------http://hometown.aol.com/anglhrtd1/myhomepage/index.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My b-day is incorrectly shown on my page but there is a story behind that. People often refer to me as "Angel" other than my name...countless stories for that too. I am NOT on here seeking validation, acceptance or ANYTHING, perhaps wanting to correspond with people who don't fall/fit into "typical societal conformity". I am very secure in who I am & what I do with my life. I am fiercely independent & my intelligence/intuition can scare those with much to hide, bad intentions, agendas & motives. My desire to do as much as I can almost to the point of exhaustion, can intimidate others as well as my higher applied thinking & ability to always rise above whatever circumstances my resilience perseveres, as an extremely well grounded entity who has her sh*t together & her head screwed on straight... no matter who may try to mess with it. I'm sure those rare few would love to try & make a bobble head outta me or just disassemble me somehow & not put me back together...but that is more a reflection of themselves they don't wanna see, that by just being "me" reminds them. I would like to associate with HONEST, AUTHENTIC, KIND, CONSIDERATE, POSITIVE DEMEANOR, MATURE, CARING, SANE, QUALITY individuals who posess INTEGRITY, UNDERSTANDING, SENSITIVITY ,COMPASSION, GOOD SPIRIT, SUBSTANCE, VALUES, ACCOUNTABILITY, CHARACTER, WELL MANNERED, GOOD COMMUNICATION & LISTENING SKILLS, a LIFE, a SPINE, a CONSCIENCE, & are not ALL about themselves
(<-also known as TAKERS/users). I DON'T like game-players, liers, phoney moronies, cheaters, abusive in ANY way meanie-weenies, those who are reckless & ravage other's hearts with no regard for feelings while attempting to take advantage of caring natures/kindness, or sabotage what they were so fortunate to know, much less have. Completely desecrating something so PRICELESS, REAL & SACRED only shows dishonor, unappreciation, disrespect, how little it meant, that it was never deserved, & to linger where that's been advertised/known would be declaring a lack of love for one's self by being further subjected to it. To do unspeakably unjustified & completely unwarranted things/acts to others is bad enough...to go around trying to convince others that the wounded one harmed by such intention is to blame or @ fault for the cruelty THEY'VE done to them, is an even worse insult to injury like salt poured in the inflicted gash! The labels those people give themselves can false advertise like it belongs to someone else as their diversion tactic of self-denial, but the guilty culprit is the only one it sticks to. Scapegoat I am not, & a HEART OF GOLD should never be mistreated, taken for granted or used as ammunition against the person who was already wronged! I do NOT APOLOGIZE for having the guts to be who/what I am while constantly helping others, to better this world in the ways I can while sticking to principles when no one else will. "One who stands for nothing, will fall for anything." Am I supposed to be sorry for selflessly giving (often times too much) to others when most are apathetic to anything that does not directly affect them? I am the one that sees what needs to be done, finding a way to do what others around me refuse to. If that makes a few juvenile, lazy, shallow people uncomfortable, then don't compare yourself to me...it's not about you anyway, nor is it a contest. If you wanna make it 1 then I am game, as long as it helps a needy cause while giving some initiative other than to be self-serving. People like that just won't get it, but certainly MOST people I come into contact with are happy to be exposed to my enlightened views & creative expressions. I refuse to be a victim (that few make the mistake of thinking they can force upon me), rather I am a "survivor of circumstance" & will remove myself or put some serious distance between the unhealthy situation. Life is short, this world / society can be harshly cruel. Being a part or THE problem itself...well, there's an overabundance of that already which remains self~explanatory why things are in the shape they are now. I'd rather be a part or THE solution...I have a voice that must be heard & creativity that is impossible to contain. It's hard to be a giver in a world dominated by selfish takers, but being SELECTIVE & not tolerating someones BullSh*t is smart & imperative when you are like me with a heart for others. Too many vultures, thieves, & parasites to fend off. That's not being judgemental, it's being truthful about the REALITY on the basis of FACTS shown by the experience/history you have with those that ARE (even worse, they're this way by CHOICE ~ no matter how they play the unaccountable 'My Car Has No Driver' lack of mentality as a convenient cop-out "excuse" <- which never is...). KINDNESS & COMPASSION should NEVER mistaken for WEAKNESS nor be UNDERESTIMATED!!! I would rather have the support & encouragement of those who truly love & care for me/my welfare, or be completely ALONE! You never know when any moment may be your last & knowing how many times I nearly crossed that line, I don't want to have regrets that I put there which can't be undone or waste so much that you can't get back, on any lost cause. People always wait till it's TOO LATE to change or better a situation if it can be, then wonder why the aftermath ends up the effect of how they were/contributed to the cause. Actions are so much louder, speaking volumes far more than convenient words. Sorry becomes an unbelievably misused word to throw out since it's so easy to say, when most times a reason shouldn't exist to be such in the first place, much less having the audacity to repeat itself. Hence that life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away or that of others. I certainly know how to make things fun, being the life of the party, but I also know when it's time to be serious, never losing sight of what's important, the priorities/responsibilities that give me a well lived balanced & fulfilling life while assiting others in reaching theirs. CARPE DIEM! I look forward to hearing from those that can relate on any level to this. MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS are ALL THAT MATTER TO ME! The only males I will interact with are those who conduct themselves like gentleMEN. You may not be able to choose your family, but we have the free will to decide who our friends are...LOVE me or be the rare few who unjustifiably HATE me, the TRUTH & all I represent...it only speaks what's REAL about yourself.......

Ah yes lookie what I found missy Hm now I wonder why this Nina Williams looks so familiar LOL I'm privvy to know such secrets Now don't roll those gorgeous eyes, I know how these drive us crazy but I included one of me too since we get such a laugh over them. So when might I get to see that "Nina" from days-gone-by next? Not sure Ill be able to leave without her this time. With all this wonderous creature is tending to away from home, isnt it time for our voix d'un Ange to have her final escape abroad yet? Ever so patiently- for "its a pity to disturb what happens by itself" which makes it that embodiment of rare amazing that it just is.
hey! just wanted to say hi and see what was cookin'? Nothin crazy new over here, just enjoying a peaceful morning. Have a great weekend :) much love ~adrian edward
Theyre all so right about us, even though I know shes not about that- it is quite fitting you must admit to be given that title Been thru so much to finally find her which easily surpasses anything in this universe! Plus it's amusing those stares we get if that's even what we refer to those kind as, of course its impossible to not infinitely love and adore "her" All getting aligned with "precious" always in mind and so much more- the Angel's Norwegian -my turn to roll my eyes below LOL
A MAN is raised up from the earth by two wings—simplicity and purity. There must be simplicity in his intention and purity in his desires. Simplicity leads to God, purity embraces and enjoys Him.
If your heart is free from ill-ordered affection, no good deed will be difficult for you. If you aim at and seek after nothing but the pleasure of God and the welfare of your neighbor, you will enjoy freedom within.
If your heart were right, then every created thing would be a mirror of life for you and a book of holy teaching. If inwardly you were good and pure, you would see all things clearly and understand them rightly.
As iron cast into fire loses its rust and becomes glowing white, so he who turns completely to God is stripped of his sluggishness and changed into a new man. By Thomas A Kempis
Have a wonderful weekend my dear friend....I hope all is well with you and your family.....I'm mostly on Facebook these days, but I wanted to stop in and say hello to a wonderful friend....
I heard a soft voice behind me, saying: "Return!" I lifted my head and looked around to see who was calling me and where he commanded me to return; but I saw no one.
Then the voice sounded again: "Return!" Not knowing where to return or how to get out of the darkness, I felt dismayed, but the voice called a third time: "Return to the place whence you came, to the home of your heart and shut the door behind you!"
A bright light burst upon me from above. I looked up, a dazzlingly light, such loveliness radiated from it as I had never experienced anywhere in the world. He then, all kindly, addressed me in these most gracious words.
"Welcome, welcome, my dear son and brother!" Saying that, he filled the air with such an exquisite fragrance that I was overcome with ineffable joy and tears flowed from my eyes; nor did I know what to reply to such an unexpected welcome, so I sighed deeply and gazed humbly at him. Seeing me so terrified with joy, he went on speaking: “Where have you been, my son? Where did you tarry so long? Where have you travelled? What have you been seeking in the world? Happiness? Where should you have sought God but in His temple? and where is the temple of the living God but the living temple which He has prepared for Himself, your own heart? I have watched you, my son, while you wandered, but I did not want to see you stray any longer, and I have brought you to me by leading you into yourself. For here have I chosen a palace for my dwelling; and if you dwell with me, you will find here all that you sought in vain in the world--peace, happiness, glory, and an abundance of everything. I promise you, my son, that here you will not be disappointed as you were in the world.” ~ Comenius
No one understands the passion of Christ so thoroughly or heartily as the man whose lot it is to suffer the like himself. ~ Thomas à Kempis
Try to live happily in any place, under any condition. You will become a strong and dynamic personality.
Never complain against bad environments. Create your own mental world wherever you remain and wherever you go. There are some difficulties and disadvantages wherever you go. If the mind deludes you, at every moment and at every step, try to overcome the obstacles and difficulties by suitable means. Do not try to run away from bad, unfavourable environments. God has placed you there to make you grow quickly.
If you get all sorts of comforts in a place, you will not grow strong. Your mind will be puzzled in a new place when you cannot get these comforts. Therefore, make the best use of all places. ~ Swami Sivananda
No matter where you may go, you cannot escape the cross, for wherever you go you take yourself with you and shall always find yourself. Turn where you will -- above, below, without, or within -- you will find a cross in everything, and everywhere you must have patience if you would have peace within and merit an eternal crown.
If you carry the cross willingly, it will carry and lead you to the desired goal where indeed there shall be no more suffering, but here there shall be. If you carry it unwillingly, you create a burden for yourself and increase the load, though still you have to bear it. If you cast away one cross, you will find another and perhaps a heavier one. ~ Thomas à Kempis

They who seek the throne of grace Find that throne in every place: If we lead a life of prayer God is present everywhere. ~ Oliver Holden
