This new day is unwritten.
No boundaries, no rules.
Unconditional, unlimited opportunity.

Keep yesterday’s rules, boundaries, happenings, hardships
OUT of your NEW day!

Hold your arms up to the sky
And twirl around
Be in this new, unwritten day of joy!

Make Your Own World

We make our world
Everything that happens
Is related to our thoughts,
To our emotions.
Truly
Your world is of your thoughts.
Today
Pray, love, give, be thankful
For it all.
God will give THAT back.
You’ll see.
You want a healing touch?
World peace?
A world of abundance and joy?
First think.
Then let go
And go into your day 
Being that healer, 
Peacemaker,
Abundance and joy!

Think about...

Think about…
How do you treat people who are kind to you?
How do you treat people who are oblivious to you?
How do you FEEL when people seem unkind to you
Or disagree with you?
Gets tougher -
How do you feel when someone strongly disagrees with you?
The more we learn about love, kindness, compassion, light work,
The easier it gets.
As Rabbi Harold Kushner said,
”If you concentrate on finding whatever is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with thankfulness/gratitude, a feeling that nurtures your soul." ​

To Create Positive Energies - 
...think 'happiness-thoughts.' They are the fertilizer for your dreams.
  • Have gratitude for the daily miracles surrounding you.
  • Enjoy each day so thoroughly that each one fills you with joy.
  • Know that your dreams come with built-in challenges.
  • And that your life is a series of challenges (your “school”).
These thoughts, feelings, experiences and knowings 
CREATE positive energies to propel you to even greater
Thoughts, feelings, experiences and knowings!!

Everybody has their story

Everybody has their story.
Just as you do.
They are what they are
How they are
Because….
Because that is their journey.
Because of their experiences (their past.)
Because, just like you,
Each of us is doing the best we can
In this moment
With what we understand (or don’t) and know (or don’t).
If you are so very fortunate to understand THAT,
Then giving your love 
can improve their moments, their understanding.
AND YOURS.

​Will you choose to do your absolute best?  
Will you choose to fill your work hours productively?
,,,and your free hours with love, experiencing God’s wonderful world, learning?
Will you choose gratitude over fear?
…trust over worry?
…joy over the blahs?
Guess what?
Whatever you choose
Will be your most likely, strongest
Experience.
Choose wisely.

Nothing Left Out

EVERYTHING - nothing left out -
Every experience,
Every situation,
Every moment,
Come together to make you what you are today.
To give you more awareness, more understanding, more knowledge,
More capability, more opportunity.
Every bit is exactly what you need.
And it ALL comes together in this moment.
And the next,
And the next….
Right on time.
Be there. Be here, now.*

*Last line familiar? Thank you, Ram Dass.

How to heal.
How to be healthy.
Here it is…
Your body hears everything your mind tells it.
Picture your health.
Think your health.
DO what you know is better, best.
Eat healthfully.
Move and exercise.
Meditate and pray.
Be joyous.
Live in your health - as best you can.
Tomorrow you will be more healthy.
And so, the day after.
And the day after that.
And so on.

Scattering the Sparks

When we lose someone we love, the energy that kept our love alive
Is given to you who loved that precious someone.
Like a fire, kept going until our love leaves,
And the sparks are scattered into and blown about
By the winds.
