Reflection: “Truth is given, not to be contemplated, but to be done. Life is action, not a thought.” F.W. Roberston

Thought, Introspection…

Contemplation, the act of scrutinizing, surveying and observing is an important aspect of many of our daily events. Just about every act we perform in what may appear to be repetitive, autonomic routines, requires or required at one point in time…

Reflection: “When we accept that we always exist in a state of grace, we are able to live our

lives more graciously."    Daily Om

 

Looking for Grace in all the right places...

  If you are looking for grace, look no further! Grace exists everywhere! It is inside, outside, all around us. It is that unseen hand, the inexplicable strength that comes from the Divine…

Reflection: “Make a decision and then make the decision right." Abraham-Hicks

To do or not to do…

There is another quote that is very similar to the one above by Dr.

Phil McGraw which is, “Sometimes we make the right decision, and sometimes we

have to make the decision right.” I like them both! They are the same. For

better or for worse we make choices. As a matter of fact the…

Reflection: “Pride gets in the way when we tell ourselves we are strong and that we shouldn’t burden others with our problems."      Yehuda Berg

The tank is empty…

When we are hurting deep, down inside, there is a thought that tells us, ‘do not bother anybody with this problem. They have their own problems. I should be able to handle this myself.’ Or, ‘people will think the worst of me.’ Thoughts such as these promote and insure…

Reflection: “We all have times in our lives when we think we don’t have the strength to carry on. 

You do and You can"    Michael Berg

Mounting pressure…

I am sure you can think of a time or two in your life when the pressure to perform, do or be became so intense, you told yourSelf you could not take another step, would not be able to manage one more moment of stress. You knew without a doubt that whatever…

Reflection: “Worrying is using your imagination to create something you don’t want."

Abraham/Hicks

Woe now…

Are you what in an old cliché is called, ‘a worry wart.’ That is the title we bestowed upon kids in school way back in the 1950’s and 60’s who were anxious about every little thing. Those were the ones who never ran around and played at recess. They stood off to the side, heads hung low, hands clasped together stressing…

Reflection: “…how much can this moment deliver to me?..”

Abraham / Esther and Jerry Hicks

 

And here is the whole quote…

“Mining the moment for something that feels good, something to appreciate, something to savor, something to take in, that's what your moments are about. They're not about justifying your existence. It's justified. You exist. It's not about proving your worthiness. It's done. You're worthy. It's not about achieving success. You never get it done. It's…

Reflection:   If something is missing, look first to that which you are not giving.                 

 

It is love month…

Did you know that in February we celebrate the anniversary of our Constitution; President’s Day and Flag Day? If you were to ask the next person you see what the month of February is best known for the answer would most likely be Valentine’s Day.

Imagine that! Just as the Christmas shopping season comes to a screeching…

When I hear somebody sigh, 'Life is hard,' I am

always tempted to ask, 'Compared to what?”  Sydney J. Harris

Definitions/dictionary …

Do you have a shelf or many with books on them? Might  one of those books be a dictionary or a Thesaurus? Have you ever wondered where all the definitions in these huge volumes came from? I have. ‘Man’ writes these glorious tomes filled with words. Are you aware that you have your very own internal dictionary filled to…

Home Sweet Home …

Does your home nurture you? Is your living space a haven of serenity and security? With the holidays fast approaching, do you find your greatest comfort in the dwelling place you have chosen?

“Speech is the small change of silence.” George Meredith

Great power…

Here is another thought provoking quote, this one by Yehuda Berg: “There is great power in being quiet and letting someone have your total attention.” A question to ponder – how often do you fill a pin-dropping silent space with talk because there is an energy of discomfort in the room; whether in a group, a part of a twosome, or by yourself! Does your uneasiness stem from…

Reflection - “We don’t go running away from our values. We go drifting away, and one day wake up in a place we never meant to be, drifting in a direction we would have never chosen.” John Blumberg

Reflection: “The word is not just a sound…The word is a force.”

don Miguel Ruiz

Don who?…

Born into a family of Toltec healers in rural Mexico, Don Miguel Ruiz was expected to embrace what was a centuries old tradition of healing and teaching and continue to share with others this esoteric knowledge (the Toltec were scientists and artists living in Southern Mexico, thousands of years ago, who formed a society to explore and conserve the spiritual knowledge and…

In the words of the Author of “Thoughts Become Things,“ Mike Dooley, ”Life is not what you see, but what you've projected. It's not what you've felt, but what you've decided. It's…
