As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect. 

     The truth is the other day I was out shopping with my daughter. I love to see new trends, fashion and looks. I am particularly inspired with all of the floral designs, design, and fabrics that we have seen over the summer. I love fabric. I love design. Anyone who knows me, knows how much I love design and pattern. 

     However, I learned that color can be associated with coded messages, which made me feel anger and even sadness towards this color. I still feel this way sometimes. But truly don't want to loose this sense of love for color, love, quench, and desire for life. Color can be associated with hidden codes or messages. These can create both negative and positive affect. As I walk and view the fabrics, I began to once again appreciate the beauty of the Earth, the colours, flowers, leaves, trees. The vibrancy, natural elements, and design. I wondered that these colourful elements are beautiful - What have they done to me? They are sweet and innocent. Similarly, it is a genuine hope I have, that children also learn to love color. All colors as a force for the positive.

     Color or fabric can be or are used for diplomacy and cultural diplomacy. We see examples of these when leaders wear garments to in-act diplomacy. However, a person who cares for his or her survival is not going to place the color of cloth as a high priority. We can also think about this thought and relate it to the President Trump's shirt topic. President Trump's shirts have indeed been produced from foreign nations. Many will use this point to connect it with his stance on immigration or trade.

     But we have to be hopeful and specific to remind ourselves that President Trump is not anti - trade. He want's reciprocal trade relations. Reciprocity is the pinnacle of building effective relationships. Sometimes a nation does the ultimate good, but does not feel appreciated for efforts. This can be disheartening. However, we must always remember that God is the ultimate appreciator. +/- God Sees and he appreciates.  

    With regards to immigration or the DACA program we hope that congress will act to find effective solutions. Families should be allowed to stay together. America must not stop dreaming. America must keep their doors open safely, to allow others to dream with the United States of America. The American Dream! :)

​Dedication: The words of this human being are dedicated to all beings. May there always be love. Sending Love & Kindness! :)
