As a companion to this site we have added Expanded Views
a site to post and share some of the many miscellaneous spiritual communications Shirlstars collects daily from around the internet and which I am sure readers and visitors to this site will find of great interest, if not great benefit.
So we invite you to click the link and journey outward into the Expanded View.

NATIVE AMERICAN CODE OF ETHICS
.
Give thanks to the Creator each morning upon rising and each evening before Sleeping.
Seek the courage and strength to be a better person.
Showing respect is a basic law of life.
Respect the wisdom of people in council. Once you give an idea it no longer belongs to you, it belongs to everyone.
Be truthful, at all times.
Always treat your guests with honour and consideration. Give your best food and comforts to your guests.
The hurt of one is the hurt of all. The honour of one is the honour of all.
Receive strangers and outsiders kindly.
All races are Children of the Creator and must be respected.
To serve others, to be of some use to family, community, or nation is One of the main purposes for which people are created. True Happiness comes to those who dedicate their lives to the service of Others.
Observe moderation and balance in all things.
Know those things that lead to your well-being and those things that lead to your destruction.
Listen to and follow the guidance given to your heart. Expect guidance to come in many forms: in prayer, in dreams, in solitude and in the words and actions of elders and friends.

A little bit of SOUL FOOD to help you along the way. . .
You are Spirit Expressed
by Carrie Hart
======================
You are never alone. You have with you always yourself, that higher and wider version of yourself that is light and love and nothing but these. You are always with yourself, that version of you that is infinitely wise and deeply connected with all that is, that knows of everything that happens, does not happen, has happened and will happen. This self, this timeless eternal self, is you and you are that.
You can, at any time you choose, sit quietly, close your eyes and open the crown of your head. Then feel yourself reaching upward, into a golden glow of being. This golden glow is you. This is your eternal self, your being, your awareness, the I of your I am. This is who you are.
And this life you live here, this life of joys and sorrows, of expectations and achievements, of giving and getting, this life is a shadow dream projected out from that self. And whenever you begin to connect too closely to this shadow existence, whenever you feel overwhelmed by its demands and full of fear for your future, then it is a good time to remember that you are not alone. Then it is a good time to connect to the vast intelligence that is there for you.
And there, in the deep and connected presence of your very own soul self, of your I Am presence, of the God that is you, you can feel the love flowing again, replacing the fear and the doubt. You can feel again the warm and loving presence that you are.
For you are your own creation, and as such you exist in this timeless eternal state as well, for that is the reality, the truth, the real you, and this is but its reflection.
And what is that eternal glow, that being of light that is you? That is also a reflection, a little speck of the glowing godhead, the all, the great and vast connection, the ground state and the highest state, the being and oneness that is. And since you are of the higher soul self and this higher soul self is of the all that we call God, then you are deeply connected with the very highest, widest and deepest, the flowing, the moving and yet ever-constant, the very heart of existence.
And at any time, you can simply be still and connect to all of this. For it is you and you are it. There is no difference. You are God and God is you, expressed in every atom of your being, in all that you are and think and do and feel. The ups and downs, the tears and the laughter, all of it is goodness and God-ness. All of it is spirit expressed. For that is what you are: spirit expressed.
Do not allow the world to fill you with doubt. Do not lose the underpinnings of your true knowledge, your true belief that you have the power. For you do. You have all the power. How could you not, when you are God?
What does it benefit you to doubt? There is no benefit there. There is only loss. What does it benefit you to believe in yourself? It is like turning on a light so that the world can see you glow. It is like lighting a fire that warms both you and those around you. For you are the light and the glow, you are the spark and the glowing, the creator and the created. You are one with the vast unending source of all that is, a spark from the brightest and greatest. It is all you and you are all it.
Set doubt aside. It does not serve. Strengthen yourself in belief. Take a sip from this brew and let it fill you. Believe in the miracle of your existence. Believe in your power through connection. Believe that you are a light strong enough to illumine the world.
And now, up at the highest level, opening to all that is and connecting with it, float a thought upon the ethers. Watch it flow out into the vast universe, into the great mix of all that is. And know, absolutely, that it will create, that it will sprout like a seed and begin to grow and that one day, as your life progresses, you will encounter a tree covered with sweet fruit and know it as this thought, finally bearing fruit, after effortlessly becoming and growing, drifting through the strands of becomingness, among the other strands and thoughts that float across the vastness of being.
A dream awakened into life. A tree from a seed of thought. A smile so broad and vast, so wide and mirthful that all sadness disappears. Such is your power. Such is your life.
Be the dream expressed. Assist the dreamer. Awaken yourself to all that you truly are. Know the full glory of your freedom, your freedom from fear, from doubt, your freedom to create, to weave a tapestry of life that sounds like laughter, looks like a smile and feels like love.
I wish you love and peace,
Carrie

Oh thanks Shirl isn’t it grand to have this site up again, well hopefully will still be able to get the old back, the features are better, but this will have to do until that happens.

Hi Diane and Shirl.
I’m so happy to see you back up and running. I’m looking forward to more spectacular pictures and posts.
Take care
dianed101 said

Hello Diane,
)
I’m glad to see you have a new space to breath some fresh air in. It’s getting pretty ugly out there in the political world, from lots of angles, and, at least for me, it’s best not to get too caught up in the more heated stuff. But I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know

dianed101 said
Hi Super, I was looking all over for your email add. yesterday, so glad you found the site…yes it’s ugly out there and I just couldn’t take it anymore without my village blue to go to.
I worked late in the night last night to get a better web site up, finally gave up on one host, went back to old hosting site and got accout there, so with luck in 24 to 48 hours I will have a better site going, will post info as soon as I can.
So we can do politics, just more gently.
I’m not going to take much time fixing up this site as I want to go to a better feature site, so I will just have to approve each comment here till that time.
dianed101 said
I think I fixed the comment thing and they should post as written now.

Welcome back Diane and thanks for the flowers. I miss my zinnias when we’re snow covered like today.

Hi everyone, I finally got the real villageblue up and running, but I have to start out from the beginning with it and it’s a new version, so it will be awhile before it looks the way I want, can’t even post pics there yet and can’t figure out how to do it.
I think I am gonna need some computer help with it.
After 10 days of trying with 2 different web hosts, I am frustrated beyond anything you can imagine, that along with personal problems is about to send me over the edge.
Hi Indianadem, so nice to see you.
If anyone wants to go over to villageblue.com and sign up.
