Just me, LaRonda, spreading a little heartshine.
Transcript:
*breathing deeply*
*Sunshine…*
*Good Day, Sunshine!*
*Spreading some heartshine*
Hi! It’s been a long time since I’ve made a vlog… with HEART. Well, I’m here with HEART today.
Hello, dear ones. Hello!
So… we need to wake up! True business! It’s time to wake up and feel LOVE!
Let is come to you…
Receive it…
and give it out to the world.
Love.
*All we need is Love…*
Our priorities are messed up!
Our eyes are closed.
Wake up!
Breathe…
*breathing deeply*
Ohhhh…
*open your eyes*
Feel…
the LIGHT…
We’re all made from the same LIGHT.
We all have the potential to give out that LIGHT.
What’s up with us?
d/Deaf against d/Deaf…
wars… wars…
He’s right… She’s wrong…
She’s good… He’s bad…
FINISH.
It’s not what’s important. What’s important is L-O-V-E.
That ALL-Embracing kind of LOVE.
EMBRACE IT!
CHERISH IT!
Cherish each other.
Oh! I wish I could call a meeting right now…
A gathering of people… coming together…
interacting… communing… entwining with LOVE!
I miss you and I miss your hearts.
I miss your love.
I miss your… passion… for… CARING.
We need to stand outside
and just
SOAK UP THE LIGHT!
Come on people.
Let’s wake up.
No more d/Deaf against d/Deaf.
Realize we’re all from the same stuff.
I love you, dear ones.
*MUAH!*

Who is doing the fighting? All I see is people standing up for ASL, which is completely proper. Then other people attack the ASL supporters and the attackers accuse the ASL supporters of being extremists. Who are the real extremists? It’s not the ASL supporters.
It’s the same old story for many years.

Laronda,
This is my first time commenting in your blog. I just HAD TO comment now after watching your vlog 3 times because I can truly feel your love & spirit coming to me through the monitor. Sounds weird, I know, but it’s the truth. I hope everyone felt the same way as I did and we can all work on accepting each other, flaws and all. I don’t always do that so it’s a work in progress.
Love to you!

Nice.
That is why I am spending less and less time on DeafRead… I don’t really like “measuring the person’s character by yardstick” activity… we always will fail to meet anyone’s expectations.
What I know is better not to have expectations or you’d be disappointed.
We are just human beings… having nothing to do with being deaf or being hearing. That is why I don’t place a lot of value on ASL… I’d rather get to know people based on who they are, not based on their language.

If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each person’s life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.
~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Nice sentiment. Wonderful goal. But perhaps a more attainable goal (on the way towards love) is to strive for “respect.”
I may absolutely disagree with your idea, but I can still respect you as human being, respect your passion enthusiasm for your idea, etc. But in the end, I still totally disagree with you about that idea. Fine.
The problem, of course, is when we attack the person instead of the idea. This has been mentioned before, but it’s worth repeating. When we attack an idea, we can have a constructive, though still very passionate discussion or debate. But when we attack the person, all matter of other baggage comes into the discussion that ends up hurting feelings, alienating people, and not leading to anything constructive.
Of course we have to admit that some people don’t want anything constructive to come from discussions; they just want to attack the person. But for most of us, we are just passionate about our ideas and want to share them and persuade others to adopt them. When those people focus on criticizing a person’s ideas and not the person, we can all participate in a constructive discussion or debate.
So let’s show respect for each other, and focus our discussions on ideas (not people).

Is it spreading some heartshine or is it the ever so bright sunshine that you spontaneously like to sprinkle the warm sun rays on our skin hungry for Vitamin D, for better health?
A toast to LaRonda for the dose of Vitamin D that we all need, that she gave us. We need love.
And to love one another, as God loved us first.
We live longer that way.

We not only live a little longer with some sunshine, but if we love and are loved, we certainly will live longer. When we hate, or stress ourselves out with emotions that actually hurt the heart or put a damper on the heartshine, our light goes out sooner. If we want our candle to keep on burning, do it with love.
Politics will always be politics, as Brent accurately pointed out, “attack the ideas, not the people.”

Full of vibrations in your poem! Every word you utter is true and beautiful. I am an Apollian, worshipping the sun eveerytime it is shining. Basking in the sun brings you wisdom and beauty and love. One can see the beauty about the sun through children playing outdoors happily. It is the sun that bring us lovely flowers, trees, grasses. Phenomenal rainbow! A beautiful sight! Finally, one can see exciting hands that fly in the air — a la Shakespeare.

Hello LaRonda, you & I have not met; I am intriqued by your messages. I feel the inspiration. God bless you! I was looking for more current vlogs, I supposed busy days challenge each of us. I do not have good quality webcam/video cam to participate in vlogs among the Deaf. I want to say thank you, I love people like you who reach out and touch hearts…it is like each of us are connecting the dots as we join hand in hand along life’s journey giving compassionate support to survive, teach, heal, and make a difference in the lives of others.Happy Holidays, May 2009 continue with blessings, abundance, and prosperity. Namaste, Stasi
