Snoop Lion and Bob Marley

So, I am sure you heard that Snoop Dogg is changing his name to Snoop Lion. Upon Snoop’s visit to Jamaica he awakened to a new reality that he may be connected to the spirit of Bob Marley.

A few years ago my reaction would have been, “Yeah, right!” But today, knowing what I know about spirit, my reaction is “Right on!”  Like Snoop, I have gone through my own awakening and realized that there is more to us than what we can see. There is a part of us that is not yet explained and that part is one part of life that feels right and makes sense to me now.

I have been feeling the “changes” occur. I see it in our strong minded loving children, I see it people everyday who act randomly out of kindness and I see it in nature. I have had a feeling, possibly a premonition that some one that we all recognize would have an awakening and bring upon huge change; not just for themselves and their families but one they could share with the world. I saw this person as a celebrity or someone who is well know by the masses. This just might be it.

As anyone who awakens and chooses to share that part of their life with the world, Snoop will get a lot of resistance. He will face scrutiny and people plainly telling him he is crazy. While, the truth that Snoop is reincarnated as Bob Marley is only known by the Divine but for those of you who smiled funny at me when I considered Bob Marley to be a Divine Master…maybe I was not too far off. Once Snoop Lions first album comes out in the form of Rastafarian beats, it will be interesting to compare the two.

Check out these videos I found on the subject. What do you think?

March/April Creative Corner -- Faith McCloud

 Spirituality. Enlightenment. Balance. All things we strive for in this life. Why? Well, I believe that we all have our own egotistical reasons but on the larger scale, outside of ego, we are all children of the Divine seeking our purpose. Some of us are here to inform, some of us are here to lead and some of us are here to share. I think Faith McCloud is here for all of those reasons.

Faith, the artist that I chose for Creative Corner this time around, has dedicated a great portion of her life to the divine. When I met Faith in 1989, we were in the fifth grade. Then, it was very apparent that God was a huge part of her life. Time passed, high school started, real life started and we lost touch. It was Facebook which connected us together just a few years ago. Thank goodness for Facebook, right?!

We were able to reconnect and I found something out about Faith that I did not know; she is an artist! Not just any artist, but an artist of collage. It takes a talented person to do what Faith does with tiny pieces of paper and paint. I was first drawn to her nature inspired work because it is colorful. It pops! As I looked further into Faith’s work I noticed that it takes an ancient subject (religion) and interprets it in a modern way. To me, Faith’s art is relatable; religious or not, everyone can relate to and be touched by her art in some way or another. 

There is more about Faith that you should know! Not only is she a master of collage but she is also a Master of Divinity. So, she knows God, real well. She knows art, real well. She knows prayer, real well. I love that! I have always thought highly of Faith, from fifth grade on. I am not sure if it is her thick, beautiful red hair or if it is the fact that her name is Faith and she lives life with faith or if it is now based upon her accomplishments; possibly it is all. Either way, I am excited to share her works with you! Meet Faith everyone!
