“If you had your life to live again…” – I have been asked one question which took me a long time to answer – a very long time. Usually one is asked this when one is about to cross over the threshold of life, so to speak.

 

 

What happens when one day, you expect to read an email, perhaps a couple of lines in a blog when you drop by – but the site has not being updated for the past three months? Or maybe you decide to call on her, and to your surprise she is no longer around. Her number keeps on giving the same automated message “…the number you’ve called, is out of range” – maybe, something else. Then months later, you hear or read somewhere that she is no longer with you. She is not in your neighborhood, your city or the world. The truth about life in the twenty-first century is like that.

 

 

Several years ago, when I was diagnosed as having Leukemia just before the accident that left me in a coma for 2 ½ weeks and thereafter followed with many other complications that hindered me from moving forwards, I fought back. I fought with everything one can imagine – from drugs doctors prescribed to alternative healing methods, from prayers through meditation, to forgiveness. When people discovered though the ‘grapevine’ that I had what I had poured their hearts out, with prayers and compassionate thoughts. Those who never knew me – who had just a glance of what they perceived of me through my work, judged me through their assumptions and deductions, and were ready to attack without much thought of learning about the personality.

 

I did not declare defeat, nor war. I offered prayers instead. *In the past I’ve been too courteous – there are times when I wish I had trampled on at least a thousand entities. I’m glad that I didn’t. The calamities of the world proved a point. When the heart is sliced and shredded into a thousand pieces – it sometimes forgive. Oftentimes, it retaliates.

 

When you love, render every teardrop that you shed as pearls you’ll treasure for all eternity. 

 

What is important as one goes through life by forming this sentence created by the intermingling of words, one forms a story whether it is built on Love or something inconsequential – When love is sown as foundation of the story that touches the hearts of those who read for solace, or as a dose of reflection with the hope that may help them reach the stars in the skies of their hope, the story {history} grants the reader a glimpse into what is known as eternity.

 

Love, can open many doors. It can also cure many ails.

 

To free the self from all encumbrances that lug about one’s shoulders one should learn to embrace the realities of love. To stay true to the Self – this is the provocation that proves one’s mantle in being, human. The world revolves and sheds its own veils for creatures living therein. Whether we cloak ourselves with the attributes of the earth, fire, or the other elements – the combination coupled with the reality of the individual self elicit a glimpse of Reality.

 

““*If you had to relive your life all over again…” – I would strike that question. I am re-living my life more than once – I have undergone resurrection with every breath, I am spirit incarnate in the heart of the Universe ~ AainaA-Ridtz A.R”

 

When a father complains that his son has taken to evil ways, what should he do? Love him more than ever.

Affluence' CEO and Founder sent out a simple email invitation to a cocktail party with a personal RSVP. As much as I'm uncomfortable in hot sunny Indian Summerish Malaysia, the only party I can imagine seeing myself jetting off, would still be France. I'd have to get my PA to look into this - at the mo' I've been TLC-ing myself on my own. Soon he, the fortunate PA will have to TLC-ing me instead.

I so am not going to be the Diva, everyone expects !

When: Thursday, February 19, 2009 at 7:00 – 9:00 PM 

Where: Capital Grill, 87 Yorktown SC, Lombard IL {630} 627-xxxx 

What to Expect: Cocktails and appetizers are sponsored by Affluence Corporation. You’ll find exceptional networking opportunities with fellow members from around the Chicago land area. Meet the Affluence management team and Board of Directors. 

RSVP: Please RSVP directly to me.

At the stage that I am, I don't think the idea of mingling and networking with other millionnaires would be my cuppa. Would you still mingle with the wealthy, once you're there ? Exactly ! - You'd definitely go low profile - maybe its in the culture of the West that being seen and noticed makes for one being 'celebrated' and 'wealthy' but I've seen Wealth - born into it, lived in it, went out of it, went back to it... up down, tomorrow, yesterday, today ... its just a matter of perception, degree and convenience really...

I think its time the West learn to live humbly - all the truly wealthy do. I'd expect a jet to fly me to Chicago - so what's a wealthy girl gotta do? Fly in my own Lear ? Besides I dislike a 24hour trip for a Cocktail. I'd rather do 18 or meet halfway.
