7/18/08 - RETIRED w/ 30 YEARS OF SERVICE FROM CITY OF DETROIT - DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & WELLNESS PROMOTION - WIC DIVISION (Women, Infant, Children).
I have written many different blogs about being retired. All of them are true, but I realize that meditation is the most meaningful for me!
Since I have been retired, I have spent time mediating on God’s goodness in my life! I have been reading my bible, praying and just have fellowship with God more!
When I worked, it was a very difficult to do that, because I would rush to shower, get dressed, make my lunch, and then rush off to work. I tried, sometimes, to pray in the mornings before leaving for work, but it’s not the same like it is now!
I still get up early in the morning, usually to get my husband off for work, but before going back to bed, I get on my knees and I pray. Most times, it’s the same prayers, but I always thank God for hearing my prayers!
Life is a lot more calmer for me! In the workforce, I was constantly, rushing, eating the wrong food, and being stressed out either by the co-workers, or the public (I had a job that dealt with the public everyday). Now when things happen to me, that might appear to be a problem, I just turn it over to God, and I know that everything will be alright! What it is, is that I have more Faith!
Working 30 years automatically require that you have some type of faith, which I did, and believe me, I prayed often about situations that didn’t look good for me! But, being retired now, I look back on those situations and know that it was my faith and belief that got me through all of it, so now I guess I’m giving more thanks and praises on a continual basis.
I have to acknowledge God, because it wasn’t anything I did to get me to this place where I am now! Through it all, I learned to trust in Jesus and I learned to trust in God! Praise is what I do, each and everyday!

What is Enlightenment and How Do You Achieve It?
By: Russell Symonds | 01/01/2010Ever since I had known about Paramhansa Yogananda, I have always longed to be "enlightened." By "enlightenment" I do not mean in the usual intellectual sense, but as a state of "yoga" or union with one's higher Self, which is very much in tune with the truth and with the manifested creation we all dwell in. The kind of enlightenment I am writing about is a permanent happiness and fulfillment above and beyond the trials and tribulations of worldly existence.
