thismorning I decided to look up more about my Chinese Astrological sign. I am the pig. I could not believe how accurate my sign has described me! Wow!
today i want to talk about why i feel that people always mistake my kindness for weakness. I am kind, too kind. If I had one dollar to my name, and someone , it could be friend, foe, homeless person...i would give them my last dollar. I have always been this way...heres a story about the measure of my kindness...change is unbreakable...but so is my spirit!
in 2004, a few months after my father died, and in the junk-mans tradition...i decided to open a boarding house to those who needed a place to go...thinking only of my father and how he lived his life...i did this with no thoughts of regret! I rented a huge place in the ghetto of North Minneapolis! At one time I housed, clothed, and fed over ten people...5 of which were children. I had my ex and his gf, who was pregnant, his sister, my 3 kids, someone who had no where t go...couch loafers I call them, hehe. Then I got custody of my friends kids, and had her staying with me as well! I love people! I love helping people. i do not like to be used.
All of this took a turn for the ugly. When I stopped paying for everything...mutiny grew within. Everything became a struggle because people mistook my kindness for weakness. Whatever you can dish out, I can take it! You can hit me til I am down, but i always get back up! I am the flesh and blood of a man who never let adversity get him down!
what did i learn out of all of this! I would do it all again, yes, however, I will not carry the burden of caring for souls who care not even for themselves. I learned this: I can help people with out sacrificing my self and my dignity. I show my kindness now, just in a different way, through my energy, empathy, and emotion
but mostly my devotion to making this world a better place and to embrace my mission in this world. I am a advocate for social justice and a natural healer, money cannot buy me.
Life is good, just see it! The sadness in the world, the war and social injustice is ever present, but so is the beauty and the joy of life! just taste it, touch it, feel it, breathe it.....
...In the end only kindness matters
not sure whose quote

aww thank you! No I don't do readings yet. I am still learing about Tarot and putting my energy into my cards. I really want to learn the runes, but I'm being stubborn until I can find some casting runes I really like.
