Think Posiitve

2009-03-19T10:03:00.001-04:00

If you want to get somewhere, you have to know where you want to go and how to get there, Then never, never, never give up. The secret of life isn't in what happens to you, but what you do with what happens to you. Help other people to cope with their problems and your own will be easier to cope with. Never use the word "impossible" seriously again, Toss it into the verbal waste bucket. Self-trust is the first secret of success. So believe in and trust yourself. Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven't half the strength you think they have. Joy increases as you give it, and diminishes as you try to keep it for yourself.I n giving it, you will accumulate a deposit of joy greater than you ever believed possible. How you think about a problem is more important than the problem itself - so always think positively. Go at life with abandon; give it all you've got. And life will give all it has to you.~ Norman Vincent Peale

7 Traits of Highly Confident People by J Wells

2009-01-25T11:58:00.003-05:00

Even though the development of our self-confidence and self-esteem are influenced by our childhood experience, it certainly does not end there. In fact, it would be a great dis-service to ourselves to think that we have little or no control over such things.
A healthy level of self-confidence may seem like a mystery to someone who struggles with feelings of worthlessness, but anyone can make great strides in this area. Like any other life skill, there are simple, straightforward ways to recreate our perception of self-worth, and improve the way we assess our own value as a person.
Adopting new behaviors can effectively reprogram how we feel about our own abilities and personal worth. Our behavior is generally a reflection of our beliefs about who we are and what we are capable of, but this process can also run in reverse. If we want to change our beliefs, we can adopt different behaviors that will send powerful new signals to our nervous system.
The relationship between actions and beliefs
If our actions are not supported by our current beliefs then those beliefs will begin to lose their credibility. This opens the way for new beliefs that are being validated by the signals coming from our new behaviors.
While it may sound somewhat complicated, it is actually very simple to do, and the benefits can be felt almost instantly. It really comes down to this; when you talk and behave like someone with confidence, you feel more confident. As you continue to feel more confident, your perception of “self” changes, and perception is where beliefs come from.
With that in mind, lets consider seven behaviors that can help increase your sense of self-esteem and self-confidence. We should also note that motivation is closely linked confidence. So as your confidence grows, so will your ability to motivate yourself.

7 behaviors that build confidence:

1. Project confidence and self-esteem. You know the old saying, “you only have one chance to make a first impression.” That is a good reason to look others directly in the eye and greet them with a smile on your face. Direct eye contact and a smile project a sense of self-confidence. In addition, your posture, bearing, gestures, and gate, tell others (and your own nervous system) that you are a confident person. Body language is a much more powerful way of communicating confidence than anything you have to say.

2. Use your words to reinforce your confident image. When you meet someone new, whether in person or over the phone, always give them your name. Leading with a personal introduction underscores the feeling that you respect yourself, and that they should pay attention to what you have to say.

3. Be willing to accept a compliment. Don’t minimize expressions of honor from others. Instead of trying to sidestep a compliment, be gracious and appreciative. Giving plays an important role in life, but so does the ability to allow yourself to receive. Being able to accept form others provides them with an opportunity to experience the joy of giving. It’s a sign of solid self-esteem to be able to show genuine appreciation for a gift or complement.

4. Avoid self-promotion. Bragging comes from a lack of self-confidence and a desire for external approval. Conversely, genuine modesty is a characteristic of someone who is secure with who they are. People who brag are calling attention to themselves because they don’t feel worthy of respect. It’s like wearing a sign that says “please notice me and tell me that I am special?”

5. Keep the conversation positive. Avoid turning your problems into everyone else’s problems.

Do this by not making problems the centerpiece of your conversation. Talk positively about your life and the lives of those around you. Train yourself to be aware of, and to move away from, negative thinking. Take notice of how often you complain and work to eliminate that tendency. When you are tempted to criticize or complain, find a way to turn your thoughts in a positive direction before you speak.

6. Counter doubt with positive action. Everyone’s confidence gets rocked from time to time. Dwelling on difficulties and disappointments will only make matters worse. The best antidote for doubt is to increase your level of productive activity. When your self-confidence is under fire, don’t sit around over analyzing the situation, do something. When you are busy taking action, your mind will be focused on solutions instead of problems. Maybe you can’t solve the problem immediately, but you can start working on it immediately instead of just thinking about it.

7. See everything as an opportunity. When you choose to see setbacks as opportunities your whole perspective shifts toward the positive. In it’s self, the ability to create this shift instills confidence. “I’ve lost everything 3 or 4 times, it’s the perfect place to start." Everyone fails to produce their intended result sometimes, that’s how we know that it’s time to adjust our course. It is not a reflection of our value as a person, so don’t take it personally or let it rattle your self-esteem. If you feel that tendency, go for a walk and practice steps 1 and 2. Going through the actions will help restore your internal feelings of confidence.

Finding Peace Within

2009-01-18T13:26:00.003-05:00

If you’re feeling anxious about the changes that will come your way, here are a few things you can do with a sense of peace and calm.

* Write a letter to yourself, and have it come from your Higher Self. Go through what happened this year, and let your wiser self give you advice.

* Write a letter to anyone who you feel incomplete with and need closure from. Don’t send it.

Write it for yourself and for your healing. Say exactly what needs to be said, and don’t hold back.

* Give yourself the gift of forgiving someone who hurt you this year. You can do this in person, over the phone, or just quietly in your own space. Include yourself in this exercise. What mistake, regret or action do you need to forgive yourself for this year?

* Accept your family exactly the way they are. Have no expectations that they will be different this time around, whether it’s during the holidays or through the next year. Do not expect them to understand you or any choices/decisions you’ve made or are planning to make.

* Figure out the few things you can do to reenergize yourself, since you will probably need to turn to these things in the coming year. Does walking in nature get you energized? Does working out get you feeling good about yourself? Is it sleeping in? Prayer? Meditation? Writing? Creating something? Be clear about what you need more of to continue on your path.

* What’s the top excuse that gets in your way? Write it down and make friends with it. Ask yourself: Is this really true? Who would you be and what would you do without this excuse?

Dear Santa,

This is Sue from over on Clairidge Court in Montclair, NJ--you remember; you brought me a Deluxe Barbie Townhouse when I was six—except I don't live on Clairidge court anymore, but close by, in Verona. Oh, and I'm not six; I'm over 40. I'm writing because I want you to know that I believe in you again, and I'm feeling badly because I realize how awful it must make you feel when people like me get "too old" to believe in Santa. Yet I'm guessing that your disappointment is not so much for yourself but for adults like me who lose their sense of childlikeness and magic, and, with them, their experience of surprise, joy and trust. My revived belief in you has not come from my memory of you. I realized this week, that I never stopped believing in you. I see you in everyone that I meet. I see you in the compassion of strangers. I see you in the generosity of loving, selfless souls. I see you at the horizon on the ocean. I see you up in the stars. I see you the first day it snows. I see you in the smile of my closest friend. I see you in the eyes of my 10 year old nephew - reminding me of a world that I once knew so deeply - a world where reindeer fly and wishes come true, a world of surprise, joy, gentleness and love. I realized I'm not going to just wait until Christmas eve to reenter this world of enchantment. For 2009, I'm going to make it my intention to share my message, that, "I still believe in you! Santa." No matter how many people are untrue, no matter how many problems the world faces, no matter how many days the sun doesn't come out - I will see all challenges as opportunities for transformation that will result in "Believing in Miracles, Believing in Myself, Believing in Others and Believing in a life filled with Kindness, Peace and Love." Thank you, Santa, for giving me the most important gift of all - the gift of hope. So, Santa, don't forget the milk and cookies will be waiting. (I put extra sugar in them for you - please don't tell my mother)

With Lots of Love, Sue

Hold On

2008-11-21T10:45:00.000-05:00

Hold on to what is good even if it is
a handful of earth.

Hold on to what you believe even if it is
a tree which stands by itself.

Hold on to what you must do even if it is
a long way from here...

Hold on to my hand even when

I have gone away from you.

~ Nancy Wood, from Many Winters

2008-10-11T14:30:00.000-04:00

Like most of you, I have been faced with the growing climate of uncertainty. I haven't been feeling quite like myself - full of energy and optimism. Exactly what I'm uncomfortable with - I am unsure. The fragility of our economy?...my retirement?...my family's security?... or possibly is it my career? So, the other day...I spent some time contemplating what I could do about my lack of inspiration. I realized that if I were to continue helping people live the life of their dreams, then, I better snap out of this fog. I remembered the first time I felt passionate enthusiasm - I was 12 years old. I don't exactly recall how or what caused me to declare to my parents that when I grow up, "I want to be a "Movie Star". Perhaps, it was because my mother told me she named me after the actress, Suzy Parker. To my delight, my parents enrolled me in Olympia Dukais's theater summer program and surprisingly, I was cast as Sandy in Grease (even though, I am tone deaf!) I was convinced I was on my way to becoming the world's next movie star. Until that coming Fall when I auditioned for the school play. The drama teacher, Mrs. O informed me that she would never cast me in a school play (that I had no talent) and that I should forget about my ambition to becoming an actress (especially since I couldn't sing) So, that is exactly what I did. It was the first time I felt like a "failure". I never told my parents what the drama teacher said to me. I just stopped talking about my dream to become a "movie star". You are probably wondering why I am disclosing all of this now. Several days ago, a friend of mine told me that a director was having auditions for a movie about Death. I knew it would be a long shot but I reached out to this director and told him that I was not an actress but, in fact, I was a psychotherapist who specialized in grief and loss. He thought the audition would be a great opportunity for both of us and he scheduled me for an audition for a New York movie! So, last Tuesday night, I lived out one of my dreams. I knew I couldn't fail for I have re-defined success for myself as simply showing up for whatever life brings me. All I had to do was move through my anxiety of what was expected of me and move into what I expected of myself which was to honor my commitment to the director and arrive on time. And so I did and had a lot fun. (I was even invited to a party) Some of the other actors believed that I was a trained actress! I almost fell off my chair when the director mentioned directly before the first shoot, "Anything is Possible here". I learned so much from that night. Most of all, that we can re-invent our lives in a split second if we choose to. Don't ever let someone else discourage you from what you are passionate about. Believe in yourself. Ask a friend to remind you what they like most about you. We need to stop fearing the future and live as much as we can in the present moment. I wasn't attached to getting cast in this movie which helped me relax into the improvisation. I just wanted to have a good time. Remember, it is all about the journey...not the destination. In parting, I plant a seed to all of you - do something this week that will re-ignite your enthusiasm and passion for life. Do something that you have always dreamed of doing. And have fun!

In Inspiration and Love, Sue

Nine Steps to Forgivness

2008-10-03T08:50:00.001-04:00

By Fred Luskin, Ph.D
1.
Know exactly how you feel about what happened and be able to articulate what about the situation is not OK. Then, tell a trusted couple of people about your experience.

2.
Make a commitment to yourself to do what you have to do to feel better. Forgiveness is for you and not for anyone else.

3.
Forgiveness does not necessarily mean reconciliation with the person that hurt you, or condoning of their action. What you are after is to find peace. Forgiveness can be defined as the "peace and understanding that come from blaming that which has hurt you less, taking the life experience less personally, and changing your grievance story."

4.
Get the right perspective on what is happening. Recognize that your primary distress is coming from the hurt feelings, thoughts and physical upset you are suffering now, not what offended you or hurt you two minutes - or ten years -ago. Forgiveness helps to heal those hurt feelings.

5.
At the moment you feel upset practice a simple stress management technique to soothe your body's flight or fight response.

6.
Give up expecting things from other people, or your life , that they do not choose to give you. Recognize the "unenforceable rules" you have for your health or how you or other people must behave. Remind yourself that you can hope for health, love, peace and prosperity and work hard to get them.

7.
Put your energy into looking for another way to get your positive goals met than through the experience that has hurt you. Instead of mentally replaying your hurt seek out new ways to get what you want.

8.
Remember that a life well lived is your best revenge. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, and thereby giving the person who caused you pain power over you, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Forgiveness is about personal power.

9.
Amend your grievance story to remind you of the heroic choice to forgive.

The practice of forgiveness has been shown to reduce anger, hurt depression and stress and leads to greater feelings of hope, peace, compassion and self confidence. Practicing forgiveness leads to healthy relationships as well as physical health. It also influences our attitude which opens the heart to kindness, beauty, and love.

HOPE

2008-08-30T23:58:00.002-04:00

What is Hope?

To Want? To Desire?

To expect that what's envisioned may indeed happen?

YES! to all of the above.

Is HOPE that gut feeling that it's worth holding out and hanging on for just a little longer?

ABSOLUTELY!!

Is HOPE the core of the human condition?

CERTAINLY!!

Can you have hope without faith and humility and wonder?

THAT'S TOUGH.

Just the thought that there's something bigger, something truer, something totally surprising out there waiting for us is.................priceless.

What would you be without HOPE growing deep in your bones, thriving in every inch of you?

NOTHING

Some Pearls of Discernment...

2008-08-24T11:58:00.000-04:00

Do not look for intelligence in feelings.

Your world is changing -if you try to recapture how it used to be - you will stifle what can be.

Your best choices and decisions are made by going for what you want rather than trying to protect yourself.

Excitement develops when you are moving toward your desires. Passion happens when you are taking steps by intention and expanding.

There is no right or wrong, no fair or unfair, no deserved or undeserved. There are only perceptions.

One of the lowest functions of the physical body is conscious thought ¦so be aware of probable misperceptions.

If you cannot see the truth of yourself, you distort all you observe.

If you must prove someone wrong so you can be right, you stand on ground that is incapable of supporting you.

Be open to outcomes- not attached to pictures of the way you think it 'should be'.

The greatest way to be untrue to yourself is to believe you can't be anything other than you have been.

No one takes your power, you give it away by losing the focus of your intentions.

Do not allow yourself to anger at another's lack of understanding; allow yourself to have a greater understanding that they are allowed to not understand.

I Believe

2008-05-01T22:17:00.000-04:00

I believe - That just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
I believe - That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.
I believe - That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I believe - That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. Same goes for true love.
I believe - That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
I believe - That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
I believe - That you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
I believe - That you can keep going long after you think you can't.
I believe - That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.
I believe - That either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I believe - That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.
I believe - That money is a lousy way of keeping score.
I believe - That sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.
I believe - That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry,but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
I believe - That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.I believe - That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.I believe - That no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief.I believe - That our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.I believe - Two people can look at exactly the same thing and see something totally differentI believe - That your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don't even know you.I believe - That even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.I believe - That credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.I believe - That you should send this to all of the people that you believe in. I just did.
The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.

Several years ago this woman found a sick, malnourished lion cub in the jungle.
She took the cub home and fed him and brought him up until he was too big to keep anymore
Then she made arrangements with a zoo in Colombia to take the lion.
Here's a video of what happened when she went to visit him in the zoo for the first time:

You can measure the impeccability of your word by your level of self-love. How much you love yourself and how you feel about yourself are directly proportionate to the quality and integrity of your word. When you are impeccable with your word, you feel good; you feel happy and at peace. You can transcend the dream of hell just by making the agreement to be impeccable with your word. Right now I am planting that seed in your mind. Whether or not the seed grows depends upon how fertile your mind is for the seeds of love. It is up to you to make this agreement with yourself: I am impeccable with my word. Nurture this seed, and as it grows in your mind, it will generate more seeds of love to replace the seeds of fear. This first agreement will change the kind of seeds your mind is fertile for.

At some point in our lives...

2008-04-04T08:08:00.001-04:00

At Some point in your life you might change. You might realize “Wait a minute! I’m not empty. I’m full. I am more than full. I am overflowing with fullness and freedom.” Then, you leave fear and you enter love. Now your life becomes a quest to express that fullness and that freedom. Now you are not looking to fill yourself up by achieving something. You are actually looking for ways in which you can express the fullness and freedom that you already are. You don’t work to make money, although money is part of the deal; you work to express your creative potential in the service of others. That’s when you do your best work.

Relationships

2008-03-23T19:10:00.001-04:00

Healing yourself in regards to relationship is a major key to enlightenment....and why that is, is because everyday we are actually in relationship with someone! We work with people, we talk to people at the store or places we go to eat , we interact with dear friends and family as well as find people we are intimately desiring from afar or we are already involved with. So much of our lives are made up of relationship, so it is no wonder that much of our lessons in life involve them. It is also not a surprise how so many long to have a peaceful, joyful relationship with someone to share intimate experiences with. We all want to love and be loved. It doesn't matter if you choose to be single or in relationship, love is a powerful force in this world.

I Live in Harmony

2008-03-15T08:06:00.000-04:00

In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole, and complete. I live in harmony and balance with everyone I know. Deep at the center of my being, there is an infinite well of love. I now allow this love to flow to the surface. It fills my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness, my very being, and radiates out from me in all directions and returns to me multiplied. The more love I use and give, the more I have to give. The supply is endless. The use of love makes me feel good; it is an expression of my inner joy. I love myself: therefore, I take loving care of my body. I lovingly feed it nourishing foods and beverages, I lovingly groom it and dress it, and my body lovingly responds tome with vibrant health and energy. I love myself; therefore, I provide for myself a comfortable home, one that fills all my needs and is a pleasure to be in. I fill the rooms with the vibration of love so that all who enter, myself included, will feel this love and be nourished by it.

Live the Questions now

2008-03-10T07:45:00.000-04:00

You are so young, so before all beginning, and I want to beg you, as much as I can, to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given to you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to LOVE everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.

Resolve to be always beginning - to be a beginner!

Gratefulness

2008-03-02T09:36:00.000-05:00

Gratefulness brings joy to my life. How could I find joy in what I take for granted? So I stop "taking for granted," and there is no end to the surprises I find. A grateful attitude is a creative one, because, in the final analysis, opportunity is the gift within the gift of every moment - opportunity to see and hear and smell and touch and taste with pleasure.

There is no closer bond than the one that gratefulness celebrates, the bond between giver and thanksgiver. Everything is a gift. Grateful living is a celebration of the universal give-and-take of life, a limitless yes to belonging.

Can our world survive without gratefulness? Whatever the answer, one thing is certain: to say an unconditional yes to the mutual belonging of all beings will make this a more joyful world. This is the reason why yes is my favorite synonym for God.

I Am Powerful

2008-02-18T11:14:00.002-05:00

I am powerful!
Whatever I set my mind on having, I will have.
Whatever I decide to be, I will be.
The evidence is all around me.
The power of my will has brought me precisely to where I am right now.

I have made the choices. I have held the thoughts.
I have taken the actions to create my current reality.
And I have the power to change it into whatever I want it to be.

With the choices I make, I am constantly fulfilling the vision I have for my life.
If that does not seem to be the case-
Then I am deceiving myself about what I really want.

Because what I really, truly want, I will get!
What I truly wanted in the past, I already have.
If I want to build a billion dollar business,
I will take the actions necessary to do it.
If I want to sit comfortably wtching TV night after night-
I will take the actions necessary for that.

Don't be diesappointed in my results-
They are just the outward manifestion of my priorities.
I will be sure of what I truly want,
Because I am sure to get it!

The woman of Tao
Holds oneness in her heart
And her world is at peace,
Does not try to please
And therefore shines,
Does not seek attention
And therefore excels,
Does not justify herself
And is therefore trusted,
Does not imitate others
And is therefore herself,
Does not compete
And therefore no one in the world
Can surpass her

No Valentine? No Problem?

2008-02-14T12:21:00.005-05:00

It's here, ladies. Valentine's Day. Two words that can strike fear into the heart of any single woman. Well, pink and red hearts might be dressing every store window at the moment, but that's no reason to hide your head under the covers. In honor of all you single women,, here are top ten tips for making the best of it — valentine or no valentine!

1. Celebrate your independence. I know it's hard to imagine, but someday you will look back with fondness on the days when you were accountable to no one but yourself. Enjoy this time — that you can sleep until whenever you want, with whom you want and eat breakfast at 2PM on the couch in your pajamas!
2. Pamper yourself. Give a little loving attention to your body and mind, instead of waiting for someone else to do it. Take a sensual bath with rose oil, pink candles, and your favorite music in the background. Cook a delicious meal, get a foreign film and treat yourself luxuriously.
3. Take charge. If you've had your eye on someone, or you've been engaging in some indirect flirtation, make the move.
4. Buy flowers for yourself. I'm telling you, it works! Flowers are beautiful and can make you feel happy every time you look and smell them.
5. Go to the bookstore. Or Library. With all that great literature, you have endless subject for conversation. Or, hit the magazine section if that's more your style.
6. Get fluent in body language. Learning how to use your eyes, body and posture helps you with that all-important nonverbal communication with those who catch your eye. Be a master at flirting without saying a word.
7. Babysit a friend's child. It's good karma to allow two others a shot at Valentine's Day bliss. Plus, a night with the kids just might restore a sense of appreciation for the single life!
8. Make a cake from scratch — frosting and all. It's fun to create something from start to finish and then you get not only share it but to eat it! If you choose chocolate, you just may feel the same endorphins that those in love do.
9. Broaden your sense of love. From your family to your friends to your past lovers past, focus on how lucky you are for all of the love in your life.
10. And if all else fails, go out with your single girl friends and have some fun!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Thank You Kimberly!

The Gift of Love

2008-02-12T18:57:00.000-05:00

I think most of us gratefully admit that our personal serving of life's goodness is generous. It's amazing how easily our focus is diverted by a challenge and how we tend to overlook our abundance, blessings and generous gifts. We tend to forget that sweetness even in the most trying of times. Miraculous little gems fill our lives like bowls full of shiny crystals crafted with ingredients like warmth, kindness, love, friendship, tenderness, heartfelt moments, and warm memories. It's all the little things and the people we hold most dear that we sometimes take for granted that put the glimmering sparkle on what blesses us with a magical, wonderful life.

The heart has long been considered the center of human emotion, the core from which feelings of spiritual, emotional, and moral nature originate. While these associations have no scientific grounding, the older I get the more I am amazed at how my heart speaks with a clarity and tenderness much more eloquent than the intellect or logic my head articulates. I wonder what miracles might emerge if we all learned to listen to the language of our hearts, if we allowed our hearts to lead us, if we gave to each other with the intensity and capacity the heart allows, if we opened our hearts to love and be loved. When I think about the things and the people who have touched my heart, I want to perpetuate the rosy glow that has warmed me in ways that only another heart can know. What precious gifts we have in each other, the joy that two hearts can share, the power of love, and, so, I celebrate with all my heart, the miracle of what is uniquely human, our ability to fill each other's hearts with the wondrous gift of love.

Speak Your Truth

2008-02-10T20:19:00.000-05:00

Speak Your Truth

Listen when others speak theirs, too

When you let go of fear, you will learn to love others

an you will let them love you

Do not be afraid of dying

But do not be afraid to live

Ask yourself wht that means

Open your heart to love, for that is why you are here

And know that you are, and always have been one

with me

and all who live

~ Melody Beattie

Look More Closely...

2008-02-10T15:30:00.000-05:00

Love - Disguised!
Look more closely...

It is easy to recognize love between parent and child, husband and wife, family members and amongst friends. It is even easy to see it between a dog and his owner or in a neighborhood where people have depended upon each other for years.
Love thrives in the obvious places but it also thrives in some not so obvious places.

Love stands on its own, it doesn't need to be qualified or justified.
Left on its own, it can move mountains, heal the body temple, reveal the truth that liberates the soul, and creates what appears to be miracles.
Give me one emotion to feel on a permanent basis and I choose love.

Love has its own language and it is spoken in many tongues. And unless you learn to speak that language, you could miss the message and the offering.
Love isn't always spoken or written down in a note. Sometimes love isn't even said aloud; instead it is in a whisper, or a wink or in a deed.

I have a woman that walks my neighborhood religiously and on rainy or snowy days, she stops at the houses of all the people that she knows in the neighborhood, interrupting her walk to bring papers up closer to their doorsteps.
Isn't that Love?
A parent that wants the best for their child will often find themselves having to say "NO", when a yes could make their life so easy. The NO is an investment in their child's welfare and future.
Isn't that Love?
When someone finally decides to stop drinking or smoking or cheating or lying
because they finally see the harm that is being caused to others and to themselves and through a moment of pure Grace, they give way to the high road.
Isn't that Love?
Take a pet owner who has to make the choice to put their cat or dog down because their pet is in too much discomfort. Isn't that decision one that tears your heart open but reveals your devotion?
Isn't that Love?
I've heard a familiar complaint from so many: my father/mother never told me that they loved me. While this might be true, that person was fed, cared for, provided for and educated. The parent or parents worked jobs they might or might not have liked to make that happen.
Isn't that a form of Love?

May I always err on the side of Love.
May I always see the good through the fog of confusion.
May I always forgive too soon.
May I bring Love wherever I go.
May I be Love, now and always.

Love truly makes the world go around. Are you generating love in your life?
Try love, without reason and with complete abandon.
Love yourself more today than yesterday - you deserve it.

Fall in Love This Valentine's Day!

2008-02-06T08:13:00.001-05:00

Remember the first time you fell in love? You felt magnificient. You thought you had discovered the moon and the stars. You could listen to those love songs on the radio all day long. This wonderful feeling of connection is something we have been led to believe can be experienced only by those in romantic love. This isn’t entirely true. When we are fully open to the energy that created the universe — when we are in love with our own lives — then we can re-create the chemistry of being in love simply by tuning in to the vitality of the world around us and in us. It’s everywhere — in the beauty of nature, the pursuit of a cause we believe in, the power of our creative powers.

Valentine’s Day makes an excellent time to learn to access that in - love feeling in other ways besides looking to another person for fulfillment. Self-appreciation is the foundation upon which health is built. And the only path that can ever lead to true love with another begins with the path of self-love and self-acceptance.

Here are some ideas for truly embracing yourself this Valentine’s Day:

1. Notice and appreciate all the people in your life who love and approve of you. Open your eyes to the love that surrounds you and accept that you are lovable and deserving.

2. Respect your feelings and honor them. Talk to yourself in the mirror and release any emotional pain you have. Breathe deeply, look into your eyes, and see your essential nature; pure love.

3. Be the party you would love to attend. Learn the art of having fun anywhere, anytime. Don’t wait for others to provide you with joy. Be joyful and the party will form around you.

4. Become as beautiful, sexy, successful, and happy as you can possibly be. The more you tap into the energy of self-love by taking good care of yourself, the better the world becomes for you and everyone around you. All the love you need for a happy Valentine’s Day is already inside you, waiting to be set free!

Choose Love. Be it, Breathe it & Feel it!

Nourishing The Spirit

2008-02-02T22:28:00.000-05:00

One of the things that I believe is so necessary to leading a spiritual life is nurturing the spirit. Just like the body gets depleted and needs food to sustain it, the mind and soul start to run low on energy too. There are lots of ways to feed the spirit. This week for my seminary class, I needed to visit a new house of worship to report on the experience for my classroom assignment. So, I went to a Buddhist meditation at the Dharmachakra center in Maplewood (http://www.meditationinessex.org/). It was a wonderful experience. Meditation is such a great tool to calm and steady the mind, give relief to the worries of the day and keep the heart open in a way that is loving, nurturing and compassionate to the self. Within 20 minutes, the edgy train ride home from the city and the tough emotional personal issues that had irritated me earlier that day - were no longer with me. It was like a mental vacuum cleaner had swept away those worries and replaced them with peace. If you find meditating at home hard to do on your own, here are some free online guided meditations that I like to follow http://www.beliefnet.com/index/index_201.html.
What ways do you nourish yourself?

May this bring you Love & LIght

Are you an Optimist?

Optimist thinking will change your life forever. Many experts will tell you that when you change the way you look at life, you will change your life – and it is true. If you are waiting around expecting bad things, you will be certain to find the worst of things. You will discover all of your mistakes and imperfections. You will notice all of the problems with your life. And then you will stop trying because you believe that everything is going wrong.
This is where most people fumble on the way to their happiness and the changes that they want to make. By trying so hard to recognize the bad things in their life, they forget about those little things that are working great.
Just for today, try to see your life through the eyes of an optimist – a complete optimist. This might seem silly at first, but what you are doing is bringing another perspective, an objective perspective into your view of the world.
Optimists look at the world as though it only has great things to offer and in that thinking, they see the opportunities for learning and growth, rather than the obstacles in their way. Instead of getting upset about the car that cut them off in traffic, they hope that there was not an emergency that caused the driver to need to go so fast.
Optimism takes time and practice. What you might want to do is start thinking about your life as though it were the life of a best friend that you have. When you sense that something is wrong in your day, try to change your thinking to being more positive. For example, when your friend's husband reveals he is having an affair, you do not tell her that it was because she can be so self-centered and cold at times (though you might tell yourself this) -you tell her that it was not her fault and that there must have been another reason.
When you start treating yourself and your life the way that you would treat a best friend, you start to see possibility in life, rather than problems.
An optimist is simply anyone that strives to look for the best in everything. For just one day, you can try to do the same. Then, you are allowing your life to be as wonderful as you want it to be, and maybe as wonderful as it already is. You simply needed to say, "YES!"
Live life and love life to the fullest. Life is a gift. Live it, Enjoy it, Celebrate it!

PHENOMENAL WOMAN

by Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size but when I start to tell them, they think I'm telling lies. I say, it's in the reach of my arms. The span of my hips, the stride of my step, the curl of my lips. I'm a woman. Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman.
That's me.
I walk into a room just as cool as you please, and to a man, the fellows stand or fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, it's the fire in my eyes, and the flash of my teeth, the swing in my waist, and the joy in my feet. I'm a woman.
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman.
That's me.
Men themselves have wondered what they see in me. They try so much but they can't touch my inner mystery. When I try to show them they say they still can't see. I say, Ii's the arch of my back, the sun of my smile, the ride of my breasts, the grace of my style. I'm a woman.
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman.
That's me.
Now you understand just why my head's not bowed. I don't shout or jump about. Or have to talk real loud. When you see me passing it ought to make you proud. I say, it's in the click of my heels, the bend of my hair, the palm of my hand, the need of my care. 'Cause I'm a woman.
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman.

That's me.

The Universe has amazing things in store for you!

Greetings to All ~

I received this lovely prayer today and wanted to share it with you.

Have a Wonderful Day!

Stars do not struggle to shine; rivers do not struggle to flow, and you will never struggle to excel in life, because you deserve the best. Hold on to your dream and it shall be well with you... Amen.

The eyes beholding this message shall not behold evil, the hand that will send this message to others shall not labor in vain, the mouth saying Amen to this prayer shall laugh forever, remain in Divine love.

Good morning, your dream will not die, your plans will not fail, your destiny will not be aborted, and the desire of your heart will be granted. Say a big Amen. Money will know your name and address. None goes to the river early in the morning and brings dirty water. As you are up this morning, may your life be clean, calm and clear like the early morning water. May the grace of the Divine support, sustain and supply all your needs according to His riches in glory.

Amen Love the Self.

Divine presence will never take you where Divine Grace will not protect you. See something good happening to you, something you have been waiting to experience. You are going to experience a divine visitation that will move your life forward by the working of The Universe's unstoppable Power.

You are Blessed.

I Love Living A Spiritual Life

2008-01-27T20:49:00.000-05:00

Sometimes I have to pinch myself because I feel so happy for no reason AND things that I've always dreamed of are coming true. Not the high pie in the sky kind of things, but the simple living of experiencing happiness in most of what I do, or don't do. Living a spiritual life infuses the sensuality of creation with the ordinary. This is happening every moment and I was blind to it for so long. But now that my eyes are open, I cry when I cut open a grapefruit and see all the immense intelligence to have created such a beautiful gift. And how unbelievably amazing is it that us humans can actually eat it and it gives us vitamins and minerals we need. I mean that is utterly miraculous that we are being supported with food from the earth, rain, sun and wind! Every storm, every wave, every breeze, every ray of sunshine is a blessing from the same intelligence that creates the grapefruit. How humbling it is to be lovingly supported by this Life!

Sue and Karen offer such a warm space to share my experience of living a spiritual life. They also provide the exact challenge I need to deepen into myself and experience myself in an even more loving way, as there is no end to Love.

Thank you for offering these meetings and I look forward to sharing many more!
