Beloveds,
Life will ask us to let go and move on! Sometimes it is difficult but what awaits us in love is better than our minds or egos can anticipate. Every step we take is special. Cherish the moment. Hone your skills of caring and compassion. Prepare to move on with your soul's purpose. Keep your heart open. Follow the Divine Path of Forgiveness. Love, hard work and patience will open New Doors of Grace!

Seeds of Good
Beloveds,
I imagine that All before me have within them the seeds of good. I will continue to nurture the garden of humanity with smiles, good wishes and dreams of peace.
Even when another is stubborn, I offer my cooperation with compassionate care and honor our collective values.

Call For Prayer
Beloveds,
When we are faced with natural disasters, all of our differences become secondary to surviving the earthquakes, floods or torrential storms.
We are learning that Nature's Baptism is the most powerful reminder for the Unity of Spirit.
Compassion and collective cooperation is the only way to live on this Earth/Heart.
Let us pray for all people suffering everywhere! Let us offer our best and seek peaceful resolution of our differences.
Walk with a prayer expressing gratitude. Mother Nature is speaking and offering a Baptism that calls for the renewal and Unity of Spirit.
Be humble, hopeful and kind to your neighbors throughout the World. Let your good deeds act as prayers filled with appreciation, compassion and respect for All!

Path of Destiny
Beloveds,
On the path of your true destiny, the leader you have been searching for is the One that resides within you!
Inspiration may be offered by others but you alone must be listening to Divine Spirit and aware of the good steps you must take on the path.
You cannot always follow others and expect to discover your destiny. With courage, compassion, humility, graciousness and love, you must embrace the One leader within your heart and take patience steps on path that leads to your good destiny!

First Give Thanks
Beloveds,
Even when it is pouring rain and storms seem never-ending, give thanks. Give thanks that you have awakened another day.
Embrace the pitter-patter sounds of the rain falling and you will discover in yourself the song of hope as you anticipate the rainbow that will surely come-- if only you believe!
Give thanks for all that comes and you will become the sunshine on a rainy day!

Do Only What You Can!
Beloveds,
When you are feeling overwhelmed, simply stop for a moment. Remember that you are not a machine. You are a beautiful hue-man being!
Say to yourself---
" Today I remember to breathe. I will speak gently with confidence, in a way that will allow me to be heard. In all areas of my life I will do what I can, rest when I need to rest and catch up with all the details when I can!"
Begin again with a new lightness, remembering to nurture your beautiful hue-man self!

Salad for Life
Beloveds,
When we mix a salad, some like only lettuce and tomatoes. Others add cucumbers and eggs or avocado with chicken or tuna. There are even those who add cranberries or apples and mango. If you are adventurous you might even top it off with a spicy peanut vinagrette.
When you see Life as a salad, You get to choose the ingredients. Make sure they are fresh with integrity and honor. Add kindness, compassion, humility and respect.
Don't select the poisons of envy or greed. They harm the mind, body and Spirit.
And Love...Love is the dressing that makes the salad of life truly delicious!

On This Day
Beloveds,
As I give thanks for this new day, I offer praise to the Creator and feel the magnitude of my life as a simple miracle.
Through the breath, I embrace each moment with ease and appreciation; and cherish each task with gratitude.
I am grateful to be alive, desire to do no harm and promise to be careful to have only good thoughts.
On this day, I honor all before me with respect!

Courage to Seek

I want to be lenient as I survey life, and remember most a landscape filled with the beauty of a hopeful heart.
All else is temporary, because the amethyst of love fills me with the courage to seek and willingly share the miracle of Timeless Grace that resides in a hopeful heart.

While I Am Here
Beloveds,
While I'm here, I want to live just in this moment with a smile of love; and if pain and sorrow come; I want to embrace my tears and let my heart heal of all the wounds I will have only just discovered. Even then, I want to give the gifts of hope and love that forever fill my heart. While I'm here I want to breathe deeply and be inspired by learning mercy, and forgiveness as I Dream a World of Peaceful Prosperity for All. And I know that in the twilight of my life, one day I will bid you bye for now and dance across the ocean waves before I walk on clouds, and join the many before me who sing and dance with a Heavenly Glow! While I'm here, I want to live and love...

Today, be a light of Encouragement!

True Power
Beloveds,
Some of us have come to believe that control gives us power. Some call others subordinates and think that their position of wealth allows them privilege and respect.
This is mis-understanding.
Each human being is worthy of love and respect. No human is less.
We all become greater when we honor those around us and offer our resources to those in need with joy and appreciation for their contributions. True power comes with integrity, inspiration, and loving Grace.

Remember that there may be something big troubling them in their lives.
They need your prayers and good thoughts; not your condemnation.
Your care and gentleness is a gift. Always try to be Present with Love!

Open the Door!
Beloveds,
In the still of the night; at dawn and throughout the day; into dusk and evening--always we are being asked to open the door for Love.
Love is ever-present in the whispers of the wind and even the harsh storms. Love calls to us with mercy and asks only that we acknowledge its fruitful presence in our lives.
So many are not listening.
Still the voice and song of Love travels throughout the ethers of time and offers hope to those who are willing.
Today is a day for simple miracles of hope and compassion. Awaken, open the door; and accept the fruit of Love!

Good Change and Healing
Beloveds,
Good Change will come in the world only if we are diligent in our faith, let go of our greedy egos and begin to share our resources with hope and a desire to heal the many wounded hearts.
Healing comes when we open our hearts with forgiveness and accept that we must collectively find a good way to feed every mind, body and spirit with cooperative caring and respect!
Good Change and Healing begins with You!

On Loss
Beloveds,
Many of us will experience great loss in our lifetimes.
Those we love will leave.
We may lose our jobs or our homes.
We may lose our way or forget our dreams.
Loss teaches us acceptance and gratitude for what remains.
Through deep self reflection and faith,
we are able to embrace the pain,
honor our sacrifices and Move On!
Ultimately, every loss brings
hope needing to be
nurtured with courage
and allows us to cherish
the gift of re-membering
our loving purpose and good dreams.

Roots of Integrity
Beloveds,
When it appears that there is no way to decide which way to go, stop and, breathe deeply over and over!
Look for the common ground in your choices. Examine the roots of integrity that rest in your heart.
What can be of benefit to peace? How can your actions contribute to good?
Now Begin Again. Have confidence in your decision.
With Integrity, You Step Into Grace!

Sometimes there will be no immediate evidence that your life has moved in the right direction. Things may appear to be the same, or even worse. This is when we must trust and love.
Often the fruits of our good efforts are hidden in the clouds and will come after the storms have subsided.
Keep nurturing good; love, trust and believe that the fruits of your labor will come after the storms!

She says "Perhaps our current challenges are wake-up calls for our collective awakening to truth."
And she believes that the truth is, there is no need for our constant bickering, our disdain for eachother, for wars and killing, for world hunger, massive disease, for discrimination, subjugation, or oppression.
She maintains that LOVE, even on a rainy day, is the answer to our dreams, our individual quests, and our future collective identity. "If we can learn to value our children, our elders, ourselves, and our Mother EarthHeart, then surely we have the power to impact society and to create a world filled with JOY."

Believe
Beloveds,
If you do not believe that you have the potential to achieve your desires, then you will not achieve them. Within you is the gift of unlimited potential. Discover it.
Develop use and share your unique gifts to achieve your good desires.
Believe in the unlimited power of you!

Follow the Light
Beloveds,
A Seeker of Truth will learn to let go of anger and try each day to embrace forgiveness by offering gifts of compassion to all those in need of love. Some will call you a fool. Others will feel that you have betrayed them. Forgive them, for they do not yet understand the power of a healing heart. The more you share the Best of You, the brighter the light of love.
Follow the Light and you, yourself will light the way for others when they are ready!!

Fruit for Life
Beloveds,
Moment to moment throughout eternity the fruit will always be bountiful when we have faith in Good.
Each of us will have the opportunity to be a witness, a giver, a receiver, and a believer of love!
Visit the garden of your heart; and you will savor and enjoy fruit for life!

Moving East
Beloveds,
When most people are moving west but your heart says go east, have the courage to follow your heart!
You will learn new lessons from all sentient beings. The rocks and trees will guide you. Flowers and other vegetation will nourish you. Birds and the wind will teach you songs of Grace. The sun, the moon and the stars will provide loving solace. Have faith in love.
Go east with divine blessings of strength. Climb your personal mountains. Rest in the valleys. Hear the echo of hope. Live Your Destiny!

Seeing Beauty
Beloveds,
Beautiful is the one who overcomes fear; forsakes greed; understands pain; shares the gifts of their heart; and moves forward joyfully into the light of love to meet their destiny! Each of You are Beautiful Spirits ever- awakening and moving forward in Grace! You Are Beautiful!

On Laughter
Beloveds,
When we are running to catch the bus and miss it anyway, or we forget where we put the house keys, or the computer get a virus or crashes; we often realize that even email is secondary to hearing a friendly voice.
For all this, share a moment of laughter. After all, we make plans to run and the Universe laughs! Look at it this way--- sometimes laughter clears our heart, helps us to slow down and shows us how breathe more deeply. Laughter can also provide the cure to a tense situation! What do you have to laugh about today?

In Difficulty
Beloveds,
Many in great difficulty have heard the re-assuring voice that says,
"I will walk with you throughout life. Sometimes it will appear that I am behind you. Other times that I am ahead or beside you. When you fall I will pick you up. Have faith and believe. Like a phoenix, we will fly with hope and share Our Love."
When we listen to the VOICE, we embrace peace and understand that the Infinite Power of Love resides within each of us! We Are Never Alone!

Offer the gift of patience to yourself and all others with respect. Allow yourself to be an instrument of hope, healing and mercy!

Overstanding
Beloveds,
I may not understand each circumstance, or reason why, but I stand with you. I will be there as your friend if you desire, in the both the calm and the storms of life.
We may travel different paths or dis-agree in the moment but somewhere in the Universal loop of overstanding--- what has always been and will always be is my hope and appreciation for you and your unique journey.
What is overstanding? Overstanding is the gift of love without condition, just because!
It is being able to speak from your heart and say for all time, "I Stand With You!"

Hearts of Charity
"Oh You who believe, enter into total peace"
(The Qu'ran, Sura, The Cow," Number 2,Verse 208)
Beloveds,
Let us believe in goodness and allow the charity of our hearts to guide us in caring for and loving our neighbors! Ramadan, a month of prayer and fasting has begun.
Let us honor our brothers and sisters of Islam in this time of fasting and reflection. Know that regardless of our faith tradition, we are All children of a Compassionate, Merciful Creator!
Let us walk together with peaceful hearts!
