Easter fun!

Hey everyone!

I hope that you had a great Easter weekend!

Ok, in all honesty, being happy all the time is kind of annoying to me but I try.

Moving on though, I’d like to talk a bit about my thoughts on Jesus and the Easter Holiday.

First and Foremost, I absolutely RESPECT ALL points of view.

I think most of Religions that believe in God because that was how I was raised.

Today, I personally believe in the unknown and that the unknown is a form of what I once called God.

I went to Church every Sunday, Wednesday and many other times growing up. I do not go to Church today nor do I intend to.

There was NO exception growing up because my father was Choir director and I sang in the Choir so I had to go to rehearsals. I also knew just about every song in the Hymn book and loved being there! I wasn’t about to complain.

I believe that I was meant to go to Church and it helped me to be who I am today. Personally, I believe that the unknown or God lives in everyone to an extent.

It’s just up to us to embrace that and help it to grow. Some cannot mentally handle that fact and make up some crazy, rather idiotic and sometimes harmful ideas. I think many are partially correct though, which confuses people.

If you look back on history, many maniacs, etc. were also geniuses in some way. Many were absolutely bonkers and willing to harm others but still geniuses. Sadly, their followers would deny many things and later many would learn from that denial.

Oddly, history tends to repeat itself.

I also believe that many lives have been lost in the name of God though. That is why I personally choose not to use that word as much today.

I personally believe that Jesus was Jewish and a very Holy man who I absolutely respect.

I do not believe he would have wanted people fighting and killing in his name or the name of God.

I believe the unknown is unknown for a reason and should remain unknown. I believe history has shown and probably will continue to show just what happens when people disrespect that fact. If anything, history has proven that many simply are not ready.

The fact is though, when you harm another human being, you harm a part of what many of you believe is God.

Moving on to a much lighter and fun topic!

I have some jewellery to share with you!

I post a new piece each day and switch from paintings to jewellery.

One week jewellery, one week paintings and repeat!

I also have a new smoothie to share!

In my youth, smoothies and most things related to happiness kinda annoyed me.

What can I say though!?

They’re good for your health!

Plus, I just love them so here’s the one I made this week!

It actually has a couple handfuls of Kale!

If you need some green in your diet, you can check that off your list if you make and drink a smoothie!

Contact them about any political issues and let your voices be heard because YOU MATTER!!!

Don’t ignore injustice because as the great Martin Luther King said injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

Fear can paralyze a community and get people to become silent about the things that matter most.

Do not let others drag fear into your heart. Do not stay silent!

As said in Stephen King’s The Stand, Make your STAND!

This world will be better if people work together to help each other before more problems occur.

Huge thanks to KVADPhoto+PRO2 and Paint 3D for providing such wonderful options!

I have to suggest them to any artist!

Until next time.

Namaste,

Angela
