December 25, 2012

whatjothinks — Tue, 25 Dec 2012 18:11:09 +0000

Today is December 25, 2012

To many, ’tis Christmas Day

To others, ’tis 4 days after the world was “supposed” to end

To some, ’tis a lonely time

To me, ’tis a day where we give more than we receive, ’tis a day to be unconditional in all our affairs, ’tis a day of gracious gratitude

Happy December 25, 2012

Welcome to a world of new beginnings, unexplored territories, and dimensions that might even boggle the mind.

May you all live each moment like it may be the last.

Lots of love and laughter,

Jo Martinez

Surrey Muse Featured On Local Connection

whatjothinks — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 08:51:28 +0000

An excellent focus in on the highlights, the essence of what is known as Surrey Muse (coverage begins just after the 10:30 mark)… Thank you to Local Connection and all those involved in putting this together.

Surrey Muse has blossomed as a thriving group in a very short period of time. Recently having celebrated its one year anniversary, this is a place where creativity can be found in abundance, lively yet intimate, it is a place where local authors, poets, musicians and other artisan types can all be found mingling at the Surrey Muse monthly gatherings. Regular meetings are held at Surrey City Centre Library on the fourth Friday of every month, except December.

Shed Light On The Darkness…Revised

whatjothinks — Sat, 24 Nov 2012 08:45:20 +0000

Reblogged from Jojo's Poetry:

Shed light on the darkness, bring that darkness into the light.

We all have gloom,

We all have ghosts,

Spiders in our attic,

Skeletons in our closet,

All this darkness,

We must coax,

For life,

It is not a hoax.

Shed light on the darkness, bring that darkness into the light.

Exposure,

Taking away its power,

It all comes down to fight or flight,

Meditation Is Key

whatjothinks — Tue, 09 Oct 2012 03:28:20 +0000

Reblogged from Jojo's Poetry:

Meditation is key,

Meditation intrigues.

Providing peace,

Inner beauty.

Honouring thy self,

Knows no boundaries.

Diving in,

Trust, having some faith.

Standing together,

No longer alone.

Focus, strength,

Reduction of restraints.

Integrity,

Grow abundantly.

Meditation is key,

Meditation intrigues.
