Are you living in the Longing World?!?!? :)

I have been reading alot lately about a subject that is so true and dear to each of us and what we want in our lives and how we get stuck in the "longing" part of something and the longing isn't just longing for a ex to come back or "longing" for a new or better career but that longing is a desire, yes it good to have desires because desires fuel our need and want to be better a person, live a better life and have better relationships and have better jobs/careers. The longing or desire is what is keeping us from manifesting those dreams and desires.


You want to manifest that lifestyle, that job, that money, that relationship? Then you have to quit longing and start living in the NOW..get off your rocker and live in the NOW..live for the moment, live for the desire you want yes, but live in the present because it will come to you if you quit living in longing world.


Our soul wants us to be happy and to be happy we have to live in the now, create image in your mind of what you want and let it go and live in the now.Don't live with fear and constricting beliefs, live in the NOW, get rid of those things that dont allow you to live in the now; When we are ready to receieve then we'll will receive but in the meantime quit living in the longing world and get in the now world. So live in the now..don't worry about the longing..get rid of the longing and go for the now!!


Just like the Aerosmith song "Dream On"...have to sing for the moment..sing for the moment, because that is all that we really have is the present moment.

I am not afraid..I am not afraid

I am not afraid anymore, I know that I am on the right path and things are gonna be alright, things are definitely going to be alright. Recently, well make that several months ago after I lost my job, things weren't going so well and I was negative, I was down and I knew that I had to turn my life around and make a better life for me and my son. I found that by reading The Secret and learning what Law of Attraction is, that I could become a better person and not rely on others and not worry about what others perception of me is, I begin to slowly shift my beliefs and my attitudes from one of negativity to one that is more positive, happy, outgoing and ready to take on the world.

I also started to have faith in God, Universe and believe in myself. I started to look for work that I knew I was right for and I started to believe once again in myself and my beliefs! I am not afraid, I am ready to take that stand because I know that I can become what I want and achieve what I want in life, so the new song by Eminem means something because I am not afraid, I have been to that dark place, a place where I felt crushed and alone and a place where it seemed that everything was down or negative; but I am not afraid anymore..I know I can and I will!!

My 23 cents of appreciation

Recently I have been wondering about things in my life, I was really worried about a few things a day or so ago. I was so worried, nervous and practically having an anxiety attack that I had to get out of my house, so here I am going for a walk in my neighborhood in 100 degree heat at 4 pm in the afternoon trying to "sweat" out my worries and at the same time seriously risking dehydration and maybe collapsing on the streets..but after an hour or so of strolling through my neighborhood, i found 2 dimes and 3 pennies..23 cents..so what right???

Well I was out strolling through the neighborhood doing my best imitation of Conversations with God..hmm Neil Donald Walsch don't have anything on me..maybe I should write my own book called Dialogues, Monologues with God!

Well I came home and got to thinking about finding the 2 dimes, the 3 pennies and was wondering after all my talking with God on my walk that maybe it was a sign because the back of the coins all say In God, We Trust; but I figured that there had to be more to this and perhaps God was trying to talk to me in some way some how. I was thinking about this in the shower and trying to figure out if there was any meaning to this or not or if I was just being absolutely plain crazy!! Then as I am there thinking of the coins, It hit me like my shower suddenly had turned ice cold on me!! At first I thought of the 22nd psalm and then I realized I had 23 cents not 22 cents, so I as I thought 23d psalms, a chill came over me for a second and I got out and got dressed, at this point I had no idea that there was a 23 psalm or even perhaps it meant a 23 chapter in one of the books of the bible..So I found my bible laying on my kitchen counter, and I just happened to open it up and found the 23 psalm and then proceeded to read it...

Once I read it, I wasn't still sure what it all meant and then I got to talking to a friend and this friend told me this, maybe the 23d psalms is trying to tell you NOT to worry and she said what did I take from it. I think it is good sign. And finally she said...I think the right thing is coming to you the minute you stop worrying, you think your not worrying but sometimes you are, yeah I think that sign is tellin you NOT TO worry. So I think what I took away from this was not to worry and that the right things are coming to me, it is just a matter of time until they do.


The 23d psalm has often been referred to as the Shepherd's psalm, and it is considered an ode of trust and confidence in God.

So here is the psalm:
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters. Rev. 7.17
3 He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

The psalm was even used in a episode of the tv show LOST..

Friends and Relationships..release your inhibitions

There are so many of us today that are looking for friends and perhaps even looking for a friendship or more, but something we all take for granted is how fragile these friendship and our relationships with our friends truly and really is. A lot of times we worry about our own insecurities in the relationships that we develop with our friends, whether they be a friend or a girlfriend or boyfriend that we get caught up in our own insecurities that we forget to treat ourselves with the same love and respect that we want to exhibit to our friends that we lose our friend  or lose a potential relationship because we can't see beyond the realms of what our own personalities are projecting in our relationships.

We want to be loved, respected and we forget that when we are not secure and loving in our own self and our own skin that our image is portrayed to others whether we realize it or not...So we have to portray that image that we are positive and happy and when we do this, then our friends and relationships will be the way we want them to be because we are happy, positive and we being the way we want to be or the way we want people to see us..so be your self..be happy!!


This poem is dedicated to a friend of mine and this friend has been a great friend of mine!!

Poetry of the Soul



It is sad when people you know,
become people you knew,
It is one of life's tragedies when you meet someone that you know is meant to be,


But due to unexpected circumstances,
And misunderstandings becomes someone you knew,
And when you can walk right past someone that at one time in your life was a big part of your life,


And how you used to be able to talk to them for hours about the little nothings in life,
And now you can barely look at them and they at you,
And all you have left is that aching feeling in your soul.

May your relationships be the relationships that you want and get! May you be yourself and show your love to all of your friends!! So release your inhibitions

Life and Law of Attraction and Acceptance

There has been so so much written about the Law of Attraction, there are millions and millions of websites out there on Law of Attraction and what it is, and this blog entry isn't about what it is, this blog entry is more about your thought processes dictate what you are or what you are striving for. There are several great quotes I can use, and one of them I got in my email today is this: "What the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve." - Napoleon Hill

It is true, if you believe it then it will come into your existence and what your thoughts are, so believe it and believe it will happen, even your negative thoughts will only bring on more negative thoughts and energies, so concentrate on positive thoughts and concentrate on those thoughts that you want to experience and whisk away those negative thoughts, push them aside and visualize, affirm the great things that you want in your existance. Michael Beckwith from the book "The Secret " said "If you believe it, if you can see it, if you act from it, it will show up for you. That's the truth" - Michael Beckwith

So believe in your dreams...see it, believe it..Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe. Saint Augustine


Faith does not question...faith knows.

It's the repetition of affirmations that leads to belief. And once that belief becomes a deep conviction, then things begin to happen.

Breaking Down the Walls with Love

I don't really know why I decided to write this subject and I am not sure where this blog post will wind up going but a few days ago I came across old e-mail from a friend and it made me think about Love..Powerful word huh? What does it mean by breaking down the walls with love to you?

Is there something we can do turn the world around? Is this what this blog entry is all about? No, maybe if we worked together more as human kind then we can break down the walls with love and bring nations/countries together and solve illnesses and poverty and all those things that plague the world and pollute our countries!

This blog today is more about what can you do with that magical word Love? What kind of things can you accomplish with love you ask? Well each person is different but with love, you can know that you can go on and not give up and expect miracles to happen, with Love means a smile, a hug, a friendly gesture, sending loving vibes to someone, sending that love to the universe and letting a little bit of God/Universe into your heart and your lives..Sometimes we just want to throw our hands up in the air and say "What the Heck is Going on? But in reality our hearts are crying out for that magical thing that we seek.. and that thing is LOVE ..so go celebrate your live and live life and be happy and show someone that you love them..send someone loving vibes and maybe someday we can say that I love you!!

Can you break down any walls with love? That is the point to ponder..what can you do to break down the walls with love?

Live life from your heart

The title of this post could have very easily been called follow your dreams and it is true, we should live the life that our hearts want us to live instead sometimes we get caught up in the world around us and live the life that society and our minds tell to live instead of actually living life from our hearts and following the dream that we are meant to follow. Sometimes we so caught up in the exterior circumstances and the environment that we fail to recognize the dream and passions that we are meant to follow, so we should always stay true to our dreams and live the life we want to live..

Case in point, just on Wednesday, I was talking to a friend about what I want in life, and she reminded with some great and beautiful information and I thank you my great friend for this wonderful reminder to live life from your heart, chase your dreams, don't give up on your dream.



This quote is courtesy of her, and I am glad to share it with everyone who reads this blog..



Follow your heart, be true to your self, Make a committment to yourself, that you are following your dream. When the Universe knows you are committed to your dream, then the Universe will commit to it to! We have to live from our heart and follow our dreams..

Music and Song Writing

Music is one of the things in my life that I have to have with me, whether I am listening to my favorite music while I am walking or maybe I am listening to music right now as I write this blog. Some day listen to the lyrics of the song and listen to the story that each song is telling you.. Some songs are talking about letting go of a love in hopes that particular lover will return, some songs are about finding your soul and finding your way and talking to God. Some songs are even about life and maybe the song writer or singer is telling a story of something that happened in their lives and they want to relate it to the listeners.

I have recently only started to write a tad bit of music and I have no..zip..zilch music experience but my music writing and even my poetry writing comes from the heart, so I try to fill my songs that I write with my emotions and add my depth of how I am feeling when I am writing and I use songs as inspiration to help guide in my writing of my songs! Oh I know I am just a novice in this endeavor to write songs, but I want to share with you one of my songs I recently wrote. It is called Hey Hey Love is a blooming

As I go along I come clean I write this song,

A song about you and me,
I know that there is day a coming,
A day when it will be just ya and me,
I will be able to say how much I love you,
And that day will come when I can hold you,

And you know that I will do anything just for you,
Hey Hey, you know how much I care for you,
Hey Hey, there is a love a blossoming,

Like the sweetpeas flowering in the sun,
Someday your gonna see how much you mean to me,
There is a day when you are going to look back,
And wonder why oh it took you so long,


Hey Hey, you know how much I care for you,
Hey hey, there is a love a blooming
Like the sweetpeas flowering in the sun,


Hey Hey, you know how much I care for you,
Hey hey, there is a love a blooming
Like the sweetpeas flowering in the sun,


I know that you love me and I know it is true,
I know that someday baby, you will be there,
And you that I love you too!!

 

Friends..

Recently I came in contact online with a very special person. We became close friends but not romantically, but still a good friend that I could talk to, share my experiences with, the ups and my downs in my life, and the struggles that I was dealing with. I made the mistake of saying something that I truly regret and I wish I could get my friend back. I realize that I may have lost this friend for good and that really bothers me. I miss this friend so much. So, I guess the morale of this story is that you must always try your best to keep your friends, to never hurt or offend them and hopefully to never lose them in the process. Friends are EVERYTHING!

I had another friend send me this..Thank you for sending me this..It is called Reason, Season or Lifetime

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a REASON,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty;
to provide you with guidance and support;
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a godsend, and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it. It is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons;
things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person,
and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

poems..song and life..

Today I am adding another poem to my blogging because I like to write poems and songs in my spare time. I have had my share of ups and downs in life, but I feel I am on the right track to becoming the person I want to be. I simply have to have faith and stay happy..Happiness comes from within.

Some of my blogs may be nothing more than LOA quotes or even favorite YouTube songs and funny stuff. Some of it may even be just musings about being a single parent and learning to deal with fatherhood and being Mr Mom and all of that stuff..I plan on adding more poems from my upcoming new book and more songs in the future!!

This poem is entitled The Lady in the Moon!!

The lady in the moon is so bright,
she looks to the stars and watches over the night,
The man in the moon sits there eating cheese, having fun in the sun,

She sees our dreams and sprinkles them with fairy dust and smiles at us,
She takes our dreams and lifts them up to the angels that take them away,
Brightening our hopes and dreams for a brighter day,

The lady in the moon takes our hand and guides us to place where we belong,
Where dreams and aspirations are so strong,
Come and play come and play with the fairies dust,

The children play as if to say,
Live life to the fullest,
Each and every day,

There are no boulevard of broken dreams,
The lady in the moon always sees what is best for you and me,
She sings a lullybye, making sure we dont cry,keeping our spirit high,

She sets our world free into the light,
She is beautiful, she is ever so strong,
She is the lady in the moon,

Shining and beaming down her love for you and me!
Watch for the lady in the moon,
She is watching over you and me

The new blogging of Johnny B!!!! :)

This is my first foray into the world of blogging and quite frankly, I am not sure exactly what will evolve as I go along in my attempts and posts. I think I want to blog about my life experiences, my dreams, my desires, my songs and poetry and what I have learned along the way of life's highways and biways into this universe and world. I am going to start off by posting one of my poems that I have wrote and go from there. This poem isn't in my book Eternal Soul Mates but it will be in my next book that I write. This poem I wrote for a friend on another website a few months back.

Soul Path

It is a path of life, a path that we all must focus upon as we go down this journey,
this journey of our existance to find what the path of life holds in store for us,
it is a path or a journey not to be taken light,

but a journey that reaches into our soul and brings us light and love as we stroll down that path of love,
and that path that our soul must reach and go down,
it may have detours and roadblocks along the way,

it is not a path of lost and insecure,
a true journey that is filled with love, a love down the path of our souls,
but is a path that we all are taking, a path of love and journey of enlightment!

If you like my poetry and want to get a copy of my book, it is available in e-book format on both Amazon and Barnes and Noble websites, it is called Eternal Soul Mates

One of the things that I have learned along my way is to be grateful for everything in your life and to learn from all your life, whether it is pleasant or not so pleasant.

Here is some things I have come across, I love affirmations and I believe in Miracles, Miracles do exist and XPCTMRCL!! It is Expect Miracles without the vowels.
