That will give you joy?
That will teach you something incredible?
That will give you peace?
That will change your life?

How about…

Greeting strangers with a “hello,” or a “hi,” and a smile?
Stopping in your morning leaving from your family, and telling them you love them?
Saying “Good morning,” to each and every co-worker, staffer, and patient you pass today?
Getting coffee for someone else when you get your coffee?
Asking someone you meet if you can buy them a coffee?
Hugging each and every member of your family when you get home in the evening?

Today is the day.
Have the BEST-EVER day!

Love,

Fear shows up in the sneakiest of ways.
Sometimes doubt, sometimes grumpy.
Sometimes sad, sometimes anger.

It has been said that fear is
False
Evidence
Appearing 
Real.

Still, our fear might help us find our wisdom.
And our strength.
And our ability to flip the thoughts and feelings 
To what we are grateful for.

Gratitude is an amazing antidote to doubt, grumpy, sad, anger.

Maybe so, IF…
You feel fearful.
You worry.
You forget to be straight-forward and honest.
You go along with things you feel bad about.
Today…
Give the fear to God. (Over & over if you need to.)
Give the worry to God.  (Over & over if you need to.)
Answer and state everything in truth.
    (If you cannot, don’t know how… just don’t say anything.)
Walk away if you must, and AVOID going along with ANYTHING
    That feels wrong, bad, scary, not YOU.
Don’t lose another day of your time in this wonderful world.

Thinking - and deciding - for yourself 
is common sense, 
given to us for our journey on this earth.


You are smarter than you know.
You are more instinctive than you may think.
Your awareness, understanding and knowledge are Divine,
Connecting you to the Universe of knowledge.


Ask and you shall receive.
Ask for the knowledge you need.
Ask for the ability to make fabulous decisions.
Ask and it shall be given to you.

Dignity is valuing and respecting another for their own sake, and treating them ethically.
Truth is the property of being in accord with fact or reality.
There is no love without truth and dignity.
There is no dignity without truth and love.
There is no truth without dignity and love.
We must love without ceasing.

When you see Nature so exquisite, 
Smell air so fresh and pure
Hear the songs of the birds, the squeal of an owl,
Feel the sunshine on your face,
And look into the eyes of your beloved furry friend,
…your mind and heart can understand that you're living in the most magical experience you could possibly desire

You can trust in the Divine Source within you,
and when the challenges, the losses,
the overwhelm appear,
turn each over,
immediately and over & over if needed,
until you have let go of each.
You can love and connect.  Constantly.
You can experience the majesty 
and mystery of being a part of the Divine.

In this moment in our world, 
how we’d like to REALLY know that 
EVERYTHING is going to turn out just fine.
That our lives will be glorious;
Our days special;
Our time full of love and connection.
You can.
You can trust and be totally confident
In letting go and letting God appear
​As the abundant all-sufficiency in your life and affairs.

In the scariest moment of the night
Turn on the light of love.
Everything will feel different.
In the most difficult moment
Give love.
Everything will feel different.
When it hurts the most
Reach out in love.
Everything will feel different.
The dark gives way to light
The difficult becomes easier
The pain is lessened.
The extraordinary light of love
Is you.

Go forth and love.

For those of us who work to care for others, to please others, we often want to fix someone who is hurting. (And we usually cannot.)
We try to take away their pain (And we usually cannot.)
Instead, be with them.  Walk beside them. (You can do that.)
Let them know they aren’t alone.  This is great love.  
You can do that.
