Today is about creating...
“If you can't set a better example for progress, don't show disapproval against the worse tradition!” - Israelmore Ayivor What we are going through now is the beginning of a new phase of our evolution as people, a nation and a species. The rate, direction and outcome of our growth depends on the choices we make individually and as a society. The most important question facing us is what to choose. I think we all need to move forward, together. COVID-19 is teaching us about connection. Connection to ourselves, our family & friends, our neighbors, our towns, cities, states and countries. It has also taught us about the heart-felt connection of people beyond the artificial borders of the nations on planet Earth. We can choose to see this and build upon it, or plummet into the darkness of fear and anger and squander our energy. There are two ways to strengthen a system. One is to fight it. The other is to obey it. To weaken a system we must be willing to abandon it. We must work together to build something better. And, without our support, the old system will collapse. Instead of resistance, channel your passion into creative ways to support what is most important to you. Instead of hiding your head in the sand, look for opportunities where you can create something new. Do something that you love, share joy, create fellowship, include everyone in your thoughts and prayers. The size and scope of what you do is irrelevant. What is important is that you can choose to do it, right now. Use your creative energy to create :) For more inspiration: https://www.superherounfolding.online/blog--updates/what-to-do Wishing you a day of creative bliss. Fly on, Superhero. Fly on!

Chick P. and The Petaluma Art Chicks got a mention in the Press Democrat as part of the Art Apart program organized by the Petaluma Art Center! Thanks for putting me on the map, PAC. https://www.pressdemocrat.com/ente…/10978050-181/story.html…  Today is about resilience...
Resilience is the ability to bring forward your inner resources of joy to bolster your spirit through difficult times. Resilience involves being there for yourself; being kind, patient and generous with yourself; trusting in yourself; and being your own best friend. Nourishing yourself with things that you love, enjoy, or find supportive and encouraging can help top up your inner well of resilience with overflowing abundance. Whenever I listen to this song, I recall that the hero residing in my heart, always has my back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4G-YQA_bsOU For more inspiration: https://www.superherounfolding.online/online-resources.html Wishing you a day of inner serenity. Fly on, Superhero. Fly on! LYRICS: Bridge over Troubled Water Simon & Garfunkel When you're weary, feeling small When tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all, all I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough And friends just can't be found Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down When you're down and out When you're on the street When evening falls so hard I will comfort you I'll take your part, oh, when darkness comes And pain is all around Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Like a bridge over troubled water I will lay me down Sail on silver girl Sail on by Your time has come to shine All your dreams are on their way See how they shine Oh, if you need a friend I'm sailing right behind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Like a bridge over troubled water I will ease your mind Today is about connection... "When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world." - John Muir We are part of life's enormous web. Connected to each other, and the world which surrounds us, in myriad ways. Plants have developed symbiotic relationships with insects that ensure their pollination. Insects have developed symbiotic relationships with plants that sustain their lives. This is no coincidence. This is cooperative collaboration. This is the true nature of life. TODAY'S NEWS!!! Superhero Unfolding received it's first Superhero Gallery submission from an artist, Senia Hashimoto, in Kyoto, Japan! Our newest hero is aptly named "Smile Man." I dare you to try not to smile when you see him! Go Smile Man! Check him out in the gallery! https://www.superherounfolding.online/superhero-unfolding-g… Wishing you a heart full of smiles! Fly on, Superhero. Fly on!  Today is about beginnings & endings... Everything that ends is also the beginning of something else. - Pema Chödrön Life is a mysterious process of comings and goings. Nothing is permanent, nothing lasts or stays the same. This simple and true observation holds the key to our happiness and our horror. Everything that we encounter is in a transitory state. When we forget this, we suffer loss and longing. We cling to images and objects of the past, things and ways of being which no longer exist. We lament and obsess about unattainable desires. Meanwhile, we miss the opportunity to participate in life as it is and the opportunities available to us, here and now. When we understand that life is a series of hellos and goodbyes, we are able to mitigate our emotional responses and reactions. We are able to recognize the unique, delicate and diverse qualities of the world which surrounds us and develop an appreciation, respect and kinship with all beings. Everything is a dynamic part of life's cycle, unique, precious and mysterious. That includes YOU!

Tomorrow is Not Promised Sometimes people come into your life
And you know right away that they are meant to be there They serve some sort of purpose, Or help figure out who you are And who you want to become You never know who these people may be; Your neighbor, child, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger Who, when you lock eyes with them You know at that very moment that they will affect your life In some profound way And sometimes things happen to you And at the time they seem painful and unfair, But in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles You would have never realized your potential strength, will power, or heart Everything happens for a reason, Nothing happens by chance Or by means of good or bad luck Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity All occur to test the limits of your soul Without these small tests, whether they be events, illnesses, or relationships Life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat road to nowhere, Safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless The people you meet who affect your life And the successes and downfalls you experience create who you are And even the bad experiences can be learned from In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, Forgive them For they have helped you learn about trust And the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart? If someone loves you Love them back unconditionally, Not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love And opening up your heart and eyes to things you would have Never seen or felt without them Make every day count Appreciate every moment And take from it everything that you possibly can For you may never be able to experience it again Talk to people you have never talked to before And actually listen Let yourself fall in love, Break free and set your sights high? Hold your head up because you have every right to tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself. For if you don’t believe in yourself No one will believe in you either You can make of your life, anything you wish Create your own life And then go out and live in it Live each day as if it were your last Tomorrow is Not Promised... Today a question about habitual reactions ...
"Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask yourself if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future." - Deepak Chopra Life provides us with an opportunity, a choice to learn from our experiences. If we wish, we can react to situations habitually, choosing the same old patterned responses. Alternatively, we can choose to experiment by trying something new. Habitual reactions and patterned responses stifle our growth and creativity. They suppress opportunities for spontaneity, curiosity and wonder to arise. When we choose to respond to a situation in a different manner, we trade in these old ways of reacting for a new way of being. We are thinking in the here and now. We are trusting in ourselves and in life. And, most importantly, we are creating who we will be in the next moment.

“Never compare your journey with someone else’s. Your journey is your journey, not a competition.” - Anonymous Since every human being is a unique occurrence, there is no basis or ground for comparison. None. There is no one else who could be a better you, than YOU. You are simply and clearly the most excellent YOU for the job. Each and every human is graced with different powers, talents and ways of being which add color and texture to the world. Each one of us is essential. However, no two lives are the same. Your journey will lead you to different places, and different experiences, where you will be able to discover the depths of who you are, and what is possible. But, only if you are willing to be nobody but yourself. Your wonderful, wonderful self.

"The sharing of joy, whether physical, emotional, psychic, or intellectual, forms a bridge between the sharers which can be the basis for understanding much of what is not shared between them, and lessens the threat of their difference." - Audre Lorde Sharing our joy with others is the key to removing the barriers which divide us into separate factions. We have much more in common with others than we are willing to see or admit, when we are mired in negativity or identifying with fear, anger or resentment. Sharing your joy can be as simple as wearing a smile. Have you ever noticed how contagious a smile can be?

- Sequichie Comingdeer Most fears are a product of our imagination. How often do we find ourselves in a truly perilous situation in which fear would be the appropriate response? More often, our fear is tied to a belief, a personal desire or feelings of insecurity or uncertainty. When we experience fear, it is often helpful to explore the beliefs which are supporting it. While, this approach may not help us to be less afraid immediately, it will help us to see the way that our thoughts limit our experience. In doing what you fear to do, you are challenging the beliefs that you have about yourself, others and the situation you are in. You are opening the door to change and growth with courage.

"Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones." - Thich Nhat Hanh For more inspiration: https://www.superherounfolding.online/additional-authors.ht… Wishing you a day full of wonderful sights and sounds!
