How Simple Life is ...

I read a quote today that is so familiar and yet it stops me every time I read it. I share it here for you and hope it blesses you too.

"When you understand that what most people really, really want is simply to feel good about themselves, and when you realize that with just a few well-chosen words you can help virtually anyone on the planet instantly achieve this, you begin to realize just how simple life is, how powerful you are, and that love is the key." ~ Mike Dooley

I'm Back ....

Wow, it's been a long time since I wrote on this blog and it amazes me just how long it's been. Life has thrown a few curves my way, as happens with us all. So, as we start the new year I am renewing my efforts to communicate and concentrate on my "ministry" of inspiration, encouragement and change.

I'll be online again soon. In the meantime - I'm praying for you so please pray for me. And be blessed!

Review: "You're Not Going Crazy, You're Just Waking Up"

I read a great book entitled YOU'RE NOT GOING CRAZY, YOU'RE JUST WAKING UP by Michael Mirdad, and I wanted to share it.

The book is about the 5 stages of a Soul Transformation. It's an easy read and not too long (about 90 pages) but I found it to be impactful from the first chapter. For anyone, or I guess everyone, who has gone through a crisis in their lives that caused change and transformation, this book provides a framework for understanding the different stages and help to plan for them again, as life is ever changing. Michael talks about all change being inevitable but that there are two ways to go through it - the easy way and the hard way.

The entire book felt so familiar to me because I could recognize the stages of my own transformation as he described it. I was impressed that he was able to capture the truth and the learning from my personal journey by describing the universal journey.

I truly enjoyed the book, and the peppering of relevant quotes from notable religious and wise humans that we all recognize.

If you want to understand the process of your transformation - I recommend this book. If you want to prepare for the next one - I recommend it even more.

Enjoy and be blessed!

When you give to or do something for another person you set into motion the flow of giving in the world. Your impact multiplies and swirls in every direction because giving is not a static energy. Give, change the world, and be blessed!

Strive to be great at what you are good at instead of average at what you are bad at. In otherwords - use your true power and talents to the best of your ability and you can affect your life and the world. Be blessed!

"Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier. The way it actually works is the reverse. You must first be who you really are, then do what you need to do, in order to have what you want." ~ Margaret Young

I am thrilled to realize in spite of the world's trajedies, heartaches & conflict, there lives and thrives in this world a great joy. It is love of God, self, neighbor, creature & earth. It is the passion in us that keeps us striving for good. And the compassion inside of us that helps us continue to lend a hand to those in need. It is God inside of us working to change what is not God-like. We are blessed!

Whatever you wish there was more of, be that.

Whatever you want your relationships and friendships to be, be that.

Whatever you want the world to be, be that.

If you want there to be less fear and more love in the world, start with yourself.

If you want there to be less stress, anxiety, depression and tension in the world, start with yourself.

If you want the world to be a more peaceful place, fairer, more generous and compassionate, start with yourself. ~ Anthony Robbins

Are you encouraged or inspired by your own dreams? If not, speak louder, dream bigger, believe stronger, act more. Be blessed!

"Where there is faith ... there is hope. Where there is hope ... there is possibility. Where there is possibility ... there is victory. Never stop believing!" ~ Mighty Inspiration

This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life.

"It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is." ~ Hermann Hesse

Follow your heart. You heart is your key connection to your soul's purpose. Be blessed!

On days when you feel stuck - MIX IT UP! Give something away, clear a cluttered corner, move the furniture or try a new recipe. Do something you've never done (or not in a long time). See how the change in focus changes the energy. In all things be blessed!

Search your heart for the answers you need. God still speaks to us - we just need to learn how to listen. Follow a hunch, go after a nudge, listen to you heartbeat faster as you get closer to your truth. You too can do this. Be blessed!

We the people ... salute the flag for it is the symbol of the freedom of all men and women bestowed by God and fought for by our forefathers and current patriots. God bless America and let freedom ring! Happy 4th of July!

If you can't do it all - do what you can. If you can't save them all - save who you can. If you can't reach them all - reach who you can. Do what is in your power to do and be blessed!

Yesterday I attended the funeral of a nun who taught at my HS. She was there for 40+ years and was a dear, sweet woman full of life, love and spirit. Even at 91 she still made her way there every day to talk, listen, & cheer on faculty, students & athletes. She was the epitomy of a loving woman of faith. While she chose a life that set her apart she was by her demeanor and loving ways, a part of every family that came through the school. She was a delightful little pixie of a woman who managed to earn the respect and love of more people than most "giants" of our society. She was an icon. May each of us strive to be a fraction of the loving influence that Sr. Michaleen was. RIP Sr. Mike - you are loved!

Celebrate the blessing of finding something (or someone) who was lost! Be blessed!
