Help me with the lingo here. Are people just kidding when they refer to the “holy land,” “holy words,” and “holy people,” as if they were somewhere else?

Or do they understand that there’s no land holier than that beneath your own feet? That no words are mightier than those you choose? And that no one, ever, has been more divine and revered and deserving of their heart’s desires than you now are?

I do declare,

Love
“We may think of the Divine as a fire whose outgoing warmth pervades the Universe.”

-Plotinus


Many people say God IS love. And love certainly pervades the Universe. Love is something we all understand, something we can all relate to. Every mother knows what it means to love a child. Every person is capable of giving and receiving love. In A Course in Miracles, fear is defined as the absence of love. Much like darkness is the absence of light. Let’s light that fire, and light up the world with our outpouring of love!

Patience is your secret weapon to face down all obstacles today. Take your good old time to make sure you understand what needs to be done, for whom, why, and how. This methodical approach may not be your natural or favorite one, and it might annoy someone who has a different opinion of how urgent the issue is. Nonetheless, patience will get you through the day with fewer, if any, mishaps.

Inner Journey:

TO SUPPORT OR NOT

“It is not helpful to help a friend by putting coins in his pockets when he has got holes in his pockets.”
— Douglas Hurd

Are you struggling financially because you are helping another adult who is being irresponsible around money?

Without intending to do so, we can keep people dependent when we are willing to financially rescue them. Enablers typically feel it’s their duty to help out. They may see giving money as an expression of love. Unfortunately, they may lose their own financial security as a result.

As hard as it may be to do, the solution may lie in forcing the dependent to find his or her own way financially. In this case, it’s not selfish to not lend a hand — it actually serves the highest interests of all. Learning personal responsibility can be a tough road but it’s a necessary one for empowerment.

“Few things help an individual more than to place responsibility upon them and to let them know that you trust them.”
— Booker T. Washington

BRING SOUL INTO THE WORLD

“We live in a culture that is greatly biased against the imagination, because our culture is very materialistic, objective and literal. Our culture lacks soul, and doesn’t know it, although it experiences the consequences. When you don’t know what’s missing, then of course you don’t know what to bring in, even though you feel something is missing.

“We live in a world that needs more soul, more meaning. We, as conscious beings, have, as our primary responsibility, at this time in human history, the task of bringing soul into the world, or releasing soul into the world. We do this, first of all, in ourselves and in our own personal world; then we do it in our groups – including family; then we do it in our society through our work, relationships and presence there.”

Which also isn’t to say they all have cool jobs that anyone would love, because they don’t; they just see every task before them as a step on the path leading to happily-ever-after.

“Intelligence is not something possessed once for all. It is in constant process of forming, and its retention requires constant alertness in observing consequences, an open-minded will to learn and courage in re-adjustment.”

-John Dewey (1895-1952)


IQ tests are one measurement of intelligence. It is interesting to note that one person’s score on a test can change, indicating that the person’s intelligence can change. We can actually teach ourselves to think smarter. One way to do this is through meditation, tapping into the wisdom of the universe

Happy Friday,

Dogs can teach us so many wonderful things. They are the essence of unconditional love and their loyalty is beyond question. They invite us to get out and get moving, to learn new things and investigate things that “smell” interesting. Dogs can also teach us about intuition. We often ignore that little feeling or voice that says something is off. But a dog always listens to that especially if something or someone doesn’t feel right. Embrace the happy go lucky energy of the dog spirit today and see what new things you can dig up!

Thought For The Day: July 14, 2021 ” Healthy Boundaries”

Happy Wednesday,

Like people cactus comes in many shapes and sizes and all are interesting. Cactus is about balance. They take care of themselves by doling out their inner resources in a slow steady manner. The cactus also teaches us about boundaries. The spines on the cactus provide a protective personal bubble. This is a valuable lesson which for humans is learned through trial and error. By not maintaining our boundaries we inevitably allow others to take over and give away too much of ourselves. Healthy boundaries however create stability and encourage personal growth. Think about the importance of boundaries today. Create some if you need to or strengthen the existing ones. It’s all about balance!

Thought For The Day: July 13, 2021 “Light & Hope”

Happy Tuesday,

I love sunflowers, they are bright and happy! If you pay attention to them you will see that they lift their faces to the sun and follow it across the sky as if they are watching it. Sunflowers are considered good luck and symbolize light, hope and peace. Stand tall today and feel the sun upon your face and remember that each of us is capable of spreading happiness even with the simplest of things!

Thought For The Day: July 12, 2021 “Mother Ocean”

Happy Monday,

This week our quotes will consist of advice from nature. We can learn a lot about ourselves by observing the natural world.

The ocean is truly magical. The sound, the feel, the smell all awaken something deep inside us. As we stand in the surf we can feel her pull within the deepest primal recesses of our being. Mother Ocean invokes a myriad of feelings and emotions. As a mother she creates and nurtures life. She teaches us about strength, beauty, life, and death. She shows us how to go with the flow and how to move with life’s tides. Let the music of the ocean sooth your heart and spirit. Hear her song…..
