Freeganism: There was a time I was embarrassed.
When I was a child my mother learned the Tomboy store in
our neighborhood would throw-out perfectly good loaves of bread every Wednesday
night; therefore every Wednesday night after the world had fallen asleep, there
we were roaming threw dumpsters for bread and anything else Tomboy or National
Food store had thrown out...
County grocery stores (Jennings, Ladue, Clayton, and Webster Groves) threw out crab legs, hamburger patties, and steaks all neatly contained in vacuum sealed bags. Back then you could not pay me to reveal this information due to my embarrassment, nonetheless, despite my embarrassment, it was also fun.
We were always amazed at the food we found and how it tastes
the same as any other food. Side note, I
think Momma was just as embarrassed; she always sat in the car while we
(Momma's 4) did the dirty work. I can
laugh now and am considering this as an adventure to share with my
Granddaughters, while on summer break.
May need to leave the state to find open dumpsters and minimize
embarrassment... LOL

Generations of pilfering and pillaging by colonizers and occupiers have left many African countries vulnerable to GMO Food Barons...
We become conflicted and compromise our thoughts. Yes, I want those children to eat as well as my children are able to eat. I want their health and safety as much as I desire the health and safety of my own child.
Years ago I was cornered in a mall, for a survey about poverty and food production I was told. I told the woman I knew nothing (honestly, I was not as well read as I am now on genetically altered foods) and then she offered a 5 dollar gift card... I refused... She then offered a 10 gift card to a shopping store, I refused. The woman was very forceful in wanting me to take this survey. Finally she offered me a 10 gift card to Red Lobster. I sold my soul for Red Lobster.

After agreeing to the survey test, I was taken into a small white room with a chair a desk and a television monitor set into the desk. They showed me hungry starving children, with bald heads, bulging eyes and protruding bellies; followed by Americans emerald fields of green; Corn fields, Soybean fields, Oat fields, and Rice fields; followed by more images of Apple Trees, Oranges Trees, Pomegranate Trees and more. They asked question like would you deny these children the same nutritious food your child eat. NO! If science found a way to get healthy nutritious food to thousands of hungry starving children would you agree? YES!
There were at least 50 questions all more twisted in structure than the other. I remember even then I was against genetically modified foods which would cross breed plants with animals. However they twisted those questions every way possible for you to really say, “Yes, it is okay to give genetically modified food, to starving children that they too may have a wholesome and satisfying meal. When I later learned; 21 years later, how science is cross breeding plant and animal cellular structure to create GMO's; my mind flashed back to that day, and how my vote may have played a part in allowing GMO's on to the tables of the unsuspecting.

My Thought for the Day Copyright © 2010
Sometimes we stumble;
Sometimes faith is betrayed;
Sometimes the mistakes we make
are the stones it takes, to build a pathway to the person we will be. Remember we are ever becoming.

Wisdom is the prerequisite of perfecting love,
Truth is the prerequisite of revealed wisdom,
If there is no truth, there is no perfecting love.
Seek truth, wisdom and love will follow.

"When I fall, whether I be friend or foe, stretch forth, help me, dust me off, and send me on my way in love." Yes, Love... The action that surpasses all understanding... The force, that creates forgiveness, in the mist of derision. The virtue, that gives all fallen souls the ability to journey on... and to the sender (the forgiver who's been wronged) the ability to heal, and also grow on.

Turn down the thermostat! Stop expelling valuable energy! Winterize your heart! Insulate the warmth of your spirit, and conserve yourself (your being) for those who acknowledge your wroth.

My thought for today is a reflection of something my mother always said, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and well meaning people, who never got around to proving the thoughts of their heart". (February 6, 2010)

To be unpredictable, for some is a challenge of intellect.
To be conventional, for some is deifying creativity.
To be absolutely unique, is a freedom we all seek, at various levels. (February 27, 2010)
We view photo's, we read blogs and status', we agree or disagree, we like or dislike, we study, examine and respond, based on our perceptions of what we believe is communicated and revealed, What you see is not always what you get.
There are times we should use our prudent minds, to take another look, there could be more than what meets the eye.

Selfishness will tax any relationship, and chronic selflessness taxes the individual.

Many of us read to locate, take note of, or memorize, that which has been taught unto us. Some of us study to gather information of that which is written, and has been taught unto us, with no intention of questioning its validity.
Others of us locate, take note of, memorize, gather information and are able to rightly divide the written and spoken word, which has been taught unto us, and there confirming or denying its validity. Wisdom is seeking beyond what is taught or understood, to affirm truth.

We are taught in childhood, not to question, our parents, our elders, and those deemed to have religious authority over us... We are not to lean to our own understandings, and if we find ourselves of another opinion, we are told it is the devil. Therefore withstanding our failure, our unwillingness, our fear to question, that which is questionable, we adhere to a belief passed down but never scrutinize by those we looked to for guidance. We pledge servitude to a belief we ourselves struggle to comprehend, and in so doing, we vaguely acknowledge the God-ness, the creative force within ourselves… (Greater is he that is within U than he that is in the world. (The world meaning, outside of U.)

Misery loves company, and hurt people hurt people. If folks fail to take the time needed to heal, they will always repeat the cycle of pain. I have found love means different things to different folks, so we must find our definition of love, and apply it as we await the arrival of that mate, whom shares the same definition of love as ourselves.

Love at first, second or third sight is possible.
For U determine the love u will give...
U determine the barriers or limitations U will set.
We don't love because we think others will love us,
We love because we so desire to do so,
Despite whether we are loved in return.
Love at first sight simply means I choose to love this person despite their willingness or lack thereof to love me back...
I will love without seeking a return...
I Love u because I can.

One should not work to maintain faith,
If you’re working, you are working in fear,
For faith and knowing, just is.

Rummaging through the closets of my memory, I found U.
Just like old times, we laughed and smile, and joke for awhile, then the phone rang, and guest what, it was U... (September 29, 2010)
