What does prayer mean to you?
Prayer is every thought we think and every word we utter and every action we take!

Do you pray, either for yourself or others?
Yes, though I tend to think more of is as praying with that for.

How do you repsond to those wo offer to pray for you?
I am grateful for their prayers but I am also mindful that some people are praying for things per se that I do not desire. . . such as a wife.
I appreciate their loving thoughts but as I said am mindful of the energy being sent to God and how it affects me.

Make sense?

If not me, who?
If not now, when?

but I think even greater impact came from:

How do I become the change I want to see in the world?

Am I the change I want to see in the world?

This video called The Bridge on Godtube.com where a father is forced to choose between saving his son or a train filled with passengers!~

I found it quite moving and profound!

Costume;
jeans, tshirt, prayer beads on wrist, and sneakers

Behavior:
Tell silly jokes, play on words, witty and goofy and laugh alot at your own comedy!

For years i worked and worked and worked until I ended up ill or injured and forced to rest!
Then somewhere aong the journey of unfoldment, I learned that I was subconscously manifesting the illness and injury because I wanted to rest and I was attracting ways for me to rest... though those particular ways were not what I wanted consciously.

Now I am in a place where when i feel the need to rest, I call in to work and let them know I will not be there.  I then take a personal health day to rest.
Sometimes that means staying home and doing homework, laying in bed and sleeping, reading, watching cartoons and laughing. . . whatever "Rest" means that day, I take it and do it.

I would tel or advise others to do the same.
Take time for your self.
Give your self a rest, time to meditate, regroup, re-energize, gas up before pushing it and pushing it.

When the car needs gas, we take the time to refuel, why not do the same with the body and mind?

Without coolant, and proper maintanence, the car that is pushed and pushed ..overheats and is forced to sit!. . .wise is the person who prevents such an event with maintanence and proper use. . .

Do you care more for the car than your own body and mind?

What lies ahead? Unfoldment of my spiritual self

What are you anticipating? Change for the better

What are you most looking forward to? My goals manifesting and using that power to help others and change the world!

Being present, being aware, being mindful most helps my unfoldment and development.  And thus the Egoic mind; being absent, multi-tasking to the extreme, allowing my emotions and irritants to flare up without being conscious of them interferes with my development.

Being myself is most supported when around friends who enrich, support, encourage, and remind me of who and what I am. . .

Regular blocks are those simple ego temptations; anger, frustration, boredom, jealousy, envy,  . . .

Do you enjoy vacationing?
Yes very much so.

Are vacations important to you?
Important is a relative word.  Taking time for myself whether on vacation or in daily life is important.  I do like vacations though as a "get away" tome to explore and see sights.

What do you feel should be the focus of a vacation?
Depends on the purpose... some vacation for rest, some for sightseeing and adventure, some for spiritual retreats and times of study.  So the purpose should be whatever works for the person going on the vacation.


When was the last time you took time off?
time off of??  Time off of work? Wed Oct 22.
Vacation time off? NYC in Aug.

I love me some NYC!
LOL

I am working on opening a school for metaphysical / holistic studies
(www.thephoenixinstitutetransformyourlife.org)

(www.whenyoubelieve.org)
I am working on doing more drawing so I can display and sell my art again.
I am working on being the best me I can be

Fearless is actually does not mean to be without fear.
It means to operate from a place of Less fear... versus being Fearful or full of fear.
There are times when fear pops into our consciousness and in those moments we must choose love or fear.
Will we act and respond out of a fear conscious state of mind or one of love?
As the course says, Nothing real can be threatened.  Nothing unreal exists.  Herein lies the peace of God."

So what is there to fear?

As a spiritual being having a human experience, I do at times experience fear...
But the key is what do I / we choose to do with it once we recognize it.

Elanor Roosevelt said that we are to feel the fear and do it anyway...!
"We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot. "


"What would you do if you weren't afraid?"
 * I would act.  I would attend auditions and send letters and headshots.  i would create my own company like Tyler Perry and then create my own plays, films, and TV shows.
Not only that, I would be more active in creating a school for metaphysical/ holistic studies, lose weight, date, travel, get certified to interpret, get certified through ADDP, use models for my art work and show and then sell my art... and more (lol)
Yeah, I am allowing things to hold me back right now. . .


Is there a difference between fearlessness and recklessness? Between being courageous and being foolhardy?
*Yes there is a difference.  Courageous has a reason behind it.  It takes courage to stand up to a bully.  It is fool hardy to walk down a dark alley just because you are not afraid and you want to take the short cut. 
It is courageous to make a positive change in the world when you know you will be criticized and ridiculed for doing it.
It is foolhardy to have unprotected sex just because you are not afraid to get HIV.
Recklessness and being foolhardy always buts one in danger's way for no moral reason; It is done for the ego.
