Something Called Respect

Scroll down to see more content

In the times we are living in I would say it is imperative we learn how to respect one another. When kindness is married to respect, powerfully we can stitch together our world’s great tragic rift. Respect doesn’t mean, however, we convert to how someone else thinks, acts, or lives. That would be sadistically counter-productive. We are born with the Divine Right to express who we are as individuals and none other. Without respect, negative emotions and behaviors begin to develop, the very ones that yes are fueling our world’s great divide in the first place.

No one has the right to insist you do as they do. No one has the right either, to tell you they know what is best for you. Your Journey is your own. Know it hands down. When you do, you will cultivate deep self-respect which beautifully blossoms into respecting all others no matter how difficult it may be at times. How about when you don’t like someone? What then? Acknowledge you don’t like that person yet maintain respect for yourself and for the other person. None of us knows what anyone’s purpose is here on this earth except our own.

Let’s face it. Our world is a mess. We have to choose now to put our differences aside finding a middle ground where we can mutually and sincerely respect one another. Only then together we can heal this world. Being humanity, sisters and brothers, all of us are Love. The other day while at the gym I requested the news be turned off and was told there are some at the gym who request the news to be on. Instead of arguing or making a fuss I decided right there to find the middle ground which I did. I told the girl I don’t want to inconvenience those who wish the news to be on so while it is, I’ll make sure I am not around the plasma TVs. It can be as simple as that.

My world little by little is expanding after my social life was denied me. As it now expands I am witnessing so many wounded hearts. Some days I am unable to handle what I am seeing so basically I stay to myself. Other days when I am stronger emotionally I extend a smile, an encouraging word, or start a conversation reaching out to the other person with respect and kindness. No matter what kind of day it is for me, my Sacred Intention is to exist with energy that “says” dignity, peace, and contentment. In walking in Grace and Gentleness, I extend respect to all who cross paths with me. What better way to begin healing wounded hearts every single one of us possess? Would you care to join me in this Great Cause to heal the brokenness in wounded hearts?

A word to the wise ….. Some people are not ready to open their hearts to receive loving healing so it is up to each of us to discern when that is the case. We can still be respectful of that person or if that person deems it necessary to project negativity towards us, we stand firmly yet with respect make it very clear we will not tolerate treatment of that kind. And then walk on. In time, that person’s heart will open. Just not at the moment.

Below I again show you the profound Beauty found in my gardens, the same Beauty when I connect with It, that which heals my aching heart. Mother has sent me some very loud messages recently and because I wear the lens of perception that I do, I don’t see those messages based on being attacked. I received much understanding from those messages, for Mother only has one motive when it concerns me and that is Compassionate Healing. As you view these Miracles, let the ache go, let the fear go, and just allow Mother to speak to your heart. May She show you how to progress on your Personal Journey so that your energy aligns with that of Love.

Peace to all of you this day.

  2. Dear Amy, your words are so true “No one has the right to insist you do as they do. No one has the right either, to tell you they know what is best for you. Your Journey is your own.” I know this all too well. Like you, I can’t watch the news but will simply walk away when confronted with it. And I very rarely now engage with those who think differently. I live in my truth, walk in my power and observe those around me who think differently without judgment, well mostly anyway. Fuelling the divide is not something I do, rather I focus on the love. Thank you for this beautiful message my friend and your exquisite pictures which truly embody love, peace and compassion. Much love and hugs to you. xxx🙏💚🌹

    1. Miriam, this post was created from out of a situation that had me reeling, it was so brutal in intensity. My journey, or that of it that I do talk about, if others don’t respect, time to say goodbye to that person. As for the news …. I do have some happy reflections about that. Since I said something about it, I haven’t seen news on when I go to the gym. There also was a sign that I knew to be “illegal” to have showing and I said something about that too. That sign is now gone. It may not mean much to some, but what I do, no matter how big or how small, I always strive to act from my Highest Good and to speak Truth.

      I am learning to walk among those who are so shut down and “plugged in” without judging them. I just feel sadness that these people are so far removed from reality. I don’t associate with only those whose views are mine. There too I am learning how to get along with others whose perspectives differ from mine. All that matters is that I remain walking in calm and in love no matter what. Easier said then done some days. When I am called out or targeted, let me tell you, I will stand up for myself in spades letting the other know you have just crossed the line with me. We all have the right to defend ourselves when we come under “attack”.

      I wonder if those who come here know how difficult it is for me to always show the Higher Way. These energies have had me so upside down inside out at times all I have wanted to do is crawl in bed and not get out. However, I keep going doing my very best to choose love, peace, and compassion when I feel as though the rug has been pulled out from under me.

      I really hope things settle down soon in Aussie Land. I’ve been thinking about you. I really hope you are OK. Sending so much love to you, dear friend. xoxoxo

  3. As always, a beautiful collection of photos. Thanks for the wonderful flowers of summer! Good words in the post as well. Your example about the TV in the gym is excellent – as is the way you handled it. Yep – you accepted the response, walked away, and adjusted. A reaction of arguing or demanding demonstrates selfishness. Oh … yes – the world is a mess. Question: Has there ever been a time when it wasn’t?

    1. Indeed, Mark, these times are something else and then some!! Some days I would just love to burrow in my bed and not come out. I must admit, however, I’ve done a massive amount of growing in the past what(?) 15 months or so. Growth under great pressure is Golden! (think diamond) As for my property, truly I say to you, it is heaven on earth. Anytime come on over and you will see such magic for now the fireflies are lighting up all over the place. That by the way is my next challenge. I would LOVE to photograph fireflies at night. At least I will try!! Have a great weekend and much love to you! xo

  8. The present situation as it is has added to the stress…why add more by getting into avoidable arguments which won’t lead anywhere…respect for self and for the others makes life more peaceful and calm…I have a right on my beliefs so have they on theirs…we can all find a middle ground if we want…
    Beautiful pictures as always…so relaxing for the mind and soothing to the eyes.
    Stay blessed always Amy,

    1. Arguments and reacting with negative behavior is never the answer. They will always make matters worse. Krish, this world desperately is in need of healing yet if all of us do not put effort forth, that healing will only take longer to happen. It’s high time people embraced different and acted kindly towards others. Thank you on my pictures. You stay blessed as well. So much love to you this day! xo

  10. No one can be everybody’s darling and doesn’t need to. But it has nothing to do with showing respect anyway. Respect is accepting a person the way they, knowing that it is their pre-condition to become the person they are meant to become. If we learn to respect everybody’s individual being and path, while at the same welcoming the differences, this world can be one. But, it needs everyone to respect and accept!

    1. Respect is sadly lacking in this world, Erika. When I don’t receive respect I will be the first to say something, do something, to come to my defense. One time it was just a look and for the rest of my workout the person who I looked at with a message attached kept looking at me in a way I knew he was thinking. Good! This world is in such desperate need of healing and it is up to each of us to do our parts. We are exactly on the same page …. everyone needs to practice respect not only for humanity but for this planet as well. Have a great weekend and sending much love to you!! xo

      1. You say it, Amy! Respect is needed on all ends. And the less respect we see, the more we need to show. It is not easy at all because we fall so quickly into that defense mode (which is ok), but even that we need to make respectfully. It is like practicing what we want others to do. Yes, definitely on the same page 😊 Thank you, Amy, and you have a wonderful weekend as well 💖

  14. The more you distance yourself from propaganda the more offensive and disturbing it becomes when you are subjected to it. So many are addicted to the poison. I admire you for taking a stand, a gentle, respectful one. Not many are capable of that. Sending you love dear Amy.💕

    1. Julie, I’ve actually gotten to a place that the propaganda bounces off of me. Now IF hubby has it in our home, I will not ask but tell him to shut it off. I’ve really been attempting to walk everywhere I go with naught but love and peace in my heart. Yes I did say something about the news at the gym for I strongly feel it has no place in a gym. But I wasn’t about to stand there and argue. People have to come to their own conclusions about this propaganda, yes even my husband.
      The good news …. since I said something at the gym, I’ve not seen news. AND I said something about an “illegal” sign they had sitting on the counter where you check in and again I said something and received a wise-butt answer. The next time I came in, the sign was gone. So yes it does pay off to speak Truth, just not offensively. I have found that when a person speaks truth harshly, the other person’s hackles are raised and digs in even more. It’s a reverse psychology thing I do. (smile)
      Sending you so much love and peace today. Oh, one other thing. There still are people that I would love to lunge at but I’m working on healing those aspects in myself that set me off. I’ve been treated very harshly by some in these past months and when I do cross paths with them again, my goal is to do so calmly. That will get them to think, yes(?) cuz they know what they have done to me.
      Anyways …. have a great weekend. I have to make sure my “vet” stays strong and calm. Fireworks are a horror for him. Love you, dear friend. xoxoxo

      2. Agreed. I’ve been working on that for over 30 years. I remember a time I asked a “professional” …. “what do I do with my anger?” No answer was forthcoming. So from there on out, I made it my goal to consciously work on my anger and I have. I’m still a work in progress as we all are.
        Happy belated 4th. I’m glad the fireworks are over. (((HUGS)))!! xo

    1. Hien, I will not get into confrontations. However, if someone invades my private space and is intentionally harmful towards me, OH I will stand up for myself and I have so many times in these past months. I’ve shockingly seen such despots bullying others and even me and when it happens, my blood does boil. No one has the right to be cruel to another and some day these people will SEE and KNOW how their past actions do catch up to them.
      I’m educated in medical science and what is being told to the public regarding science is unfounded and untrue. Some day that too will be known to have been propaganda just to get people to stay in fear.
      Anyways …. I do what I can to bring Love along with me wherever I go. My actions and words of late I’ve seen for myself do have positive results. And these words and actions are not based on negativity. Just the opposite. Calm, peace, and how I walk says, I am confident that no matter how you act, I will not loose my peace. Hang in there. I hope my words somehow encouraged you. This world can be a very tough place to interact with. Rays of hope here and there I’ve seen so Love is gaining strength. Have a great weekend.

  16. What you said about respect is 100% true. I wouldn’t argue with a single word. We are far too eager to allocate people to the various stereotypes we all have stored in our brains, but in actual fact, very few people indeed will live up to their stereotype if we take the care to listen to what they have to say.

    1. I so agree with you, John. We have been “programmed” to judge others and it is high time we put that aside to accept others for who they are. We so need unification and peace. I’ve been going to the gym of late and most who are around me, are plugged in listening to their own private music really unaware of what or who is around them. Those I do interact with, I do so with respect. My ways of being are not necessarily someone else’s to which I say, if we do maintain an open attitude and are willing to accept the other along as that other is not doing us any personal harm, these stereotypes would melt away. Sending many blessings your way and hope you have a really great weekend.

  18. So many are finding it difficult to find that middle ground Amy. In my daily life I see so many being triggered as they cling to their own belief systems unwilling to bend to see another’s point of view. And so instead of bending, they snap.. and I am witnessing so many friendships, and families being torn this way..
    Learning to discern and perceive another’s perspective often means we have to look from the other side of the fence… Which in todays world I am afraid is often hard to do for many.. For the respect you speak of, also needs to come from within… A respect of self, which I find is lacking in lots of people…
    I was spoken to recently in a visit to a Dentists via the nurse at the door as if I were a six year old child.. Being ordered about… And because I challenged the status quo her feathers got ruffled straight away. While I was being honest and respectful.. She then became angry and challenging..
    So the middle ground is a two way thing…
    We can step up to ask respect, and expect to be respected… and visa versa.. … Which is why we are seeing such conflict at the moment.. Because many are stuck within their Ego’s of I am right… You are wrong.. No compromise… So division… Such is the energetics at the moment as we are shifting within our vibrational frequencies of harmonics… We are learning to harmonise, but we do that through being able to see our differences… And within that acceptance we grow and mature..

    As for your beautiful flowers Amy they are absolutely gorgeous… You always manage to captivate such a magical quality about them.. And your heaven on earth truly is within Natures beauty..
    Walk in Beauty always Amy..
    And keep bringing us that joy within the beauty of Mother nature.. 🙏💚💛💚🙏

    1. Thank you, Sue, for adding your valuable insights and thoughts to this post. All we have charge of is ourselves and no matter how the other person acts except for attack or violence of any kind, we keep walking in love KNOWING that our example somehow will be noted. I’ve seen positive change after the incidences where I spoke my truth. You never know what will happen. I’ve seen time and time again a change occur that leaves me astounded.

    1. Hi, Barbara!! I’m not a recluse, just live a very quiet life. Last year all my social arenas were taken from me so right now I’m building those back up. I go about my way very quietly for now I have a very keen sense of energy. I stay grounded, calm, and walk in love and self-respect wherever I go. I know those of us who are sensitives struggle to experience the harsh energies that are evident in our world but when we keep walking in love, we have this bubble around us that allows us to become ducks with water flowing off of us.
      Reverence …. I really like that word. That is how I live my life in every way I can. The Connection I have with Mother has become even more powerful and Sacred all because I esteem Her as Reverent.
      It’s time, dear friend, to have the world see our light. There is so much Protection for us now …. feel it, know it, own it. It radiates from our own hearts and connects to that of Source Who is in all of life. I encourage you to show your light. Much love and many blessings to you!! xo

  32. Beautifully written. You have captured the philosophy we should all be following now. We can only control our own thoughts, words and actions. Acknowledging how difficult that is should make us understand how difficult it is for everyone else to do so as well. We need just accept that there are reasons for other’s behavior and leave it at that.

    1. Thank you for your tremendously powerful comment. It is very challenging indeed to be watchful of our own thoughts, actions and words. If someone however, crosses a line with me, I will defend myself and speaking plainly, let that other person know I do not tolerate behavior towards me such as was displayed. At times a jab comes so fast and is so unexpected, that I do not act as kindly as I would normally. There is a lot to this respect subject for it really takes two in order for mutual respect to be present. And it takes a lot of practice to honor the other person no matter what.

  33. This is pure wisdom, Amy. It’s very true that no one has any right to tell you what you should be doing. I am intimately connected to this idea. I remember committing a mistake wherein immaturely I had forced someone to beleive that my actions are justified and theirs are not. A guilt which still stays. But it’s beautiful how life has taught me this lesson over the years! No, noone is responsible for what you do in your life except you and never give the remote to your decisions in the hands of anyone! Hugs and wishes, Amy! It’s beautiful!!🤗❤️

    1. Dishita, of late especially, events of yesterdays come back to me and I can see how badly I acted and my first reflex is to feel terrible about it. I shed some tears and my gut feels like I got punched and then I manually change the direction of my thoughts telling me I am not today who I was then. I am learning to forgive myself knowing that life is a growing process and at that time I was not nearly where I am today. I encourage you to forgive yourself, learn the lesson, and apply that lesson in your present now. Then you will be able to move on.

      2. Never stop trying, dear friend. Just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and know you can change. Just to give you an idea how set we all are in our ways …. hubby bought a new electric toothbrush for us. Out of HABIT, I grabbed the one I had been using for years using and didn’t realize what I was doing until I had that toothbrush in my mouth. Be patient and gentle with yourself. We all go through these processes. I know first hand how challenging it is to change something that has been engrained within us over a long period of time. You can however, do whatever you set your mind to do. BIG (((HUGS)))!!! xo

  38. This post means much to me personally. Respect starts at home I feel, with us learning we are worthy of respect and how to set boundaries in relationships where we are not respected. Only then do we really understand what it is and learn to take it outside ourselves to the way we relate to others.

Setting boundaries is another area that is not easy especially if we come from a history which did not teach us healthy boundaries. I’m really glad you related to this post. I’ve had to learn how to respect myself, set up healthy boundaries, all in order to extend respect to others. Yet, if anyone crosses “the line” with me, I will defend myself. Much love to you this day!! xo

  42. Those photographs truly are healing energy!! And your post is so resonant with my current life waves. The words to the wise are very perfect as I recently found it painful to stand up to myself and walk away, to accept that it will take time and patience for some hearts to open. It is a tough lesson to realize not to expect the same as ourselves from others, sometimes distance and boundaries are required even at the cost of being misunderstood. The only parameter that I am counting on is how peaceful and unregretful I feel for choosing to respect myself over other’s comfort. I am much better now at allowing them to hurt through their own healing, as there is no way I can do it for them. Trusting that silent blessings and love reach.

    1. Your comment in of itself has so much wisdom, for when we realize we are not responsible for how others feel, act, or think, we are free to let go so that they are able to figure out their own journey. I too have recently done this very thing with several people in my life and at the same time changing my responses and practicing unconditional love. Respect really starts with ourselves. Loving self was once upon a time in my life taught to me as being selfish, which is the furthest thing from the truth. Prag, it’s a process, one that has you up and down, inside and out, until you’ve got one change made in order to move on. And then something else crops up so that you can learn even more what it takes to understand respect. Brava to you for undertaking this journey, for it is far from easy. Much love to you! xo

  46. Gorgeous flowers…very soothing to mind, body and spirit. I’d rather be with my furbaby and momma nature than humans these days. I don’t see things getting better…sadly.
