Free

For your consideration…

We have the right to pursue the happiness we envision. We have the right to pursue our life purpose. Our message today tells us that right is a gift from God given to us at birth. What we do with the gift is up to us.

Sometimes we hear “Who pays has the say.” Think about it in the simplest of terms. We pay for goods and services. When we are paying, we make the choice, control the decision. It is the same with anything in our life. That is why we often receive messages telling us to never give away our power.

We have to be very careful about taking “free” stuff. There are almost always strings attached. Free seems like an easy way out but the price is often very high.

Our message today wants to draw our attention to our spirit and our Faith. We are reminded that our spiritual growth is OUR responsibility. There are no free rides or short cuts. No one else can do it for us. The work is ours alone and OUR benefits are enormous.

That is the HOPE.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…

-Affirm…“I am loved.”

-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”

-Drink lots of water.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths

-Remember our work reaps our benefits.

What made me smile yesterday…

-A beautiful day complete with a magnificent afternoon storm.

-Not one of our students was afraid of the thunder and lightning. We let them just sit and watch it for a while. So fun.

-Anita let Kathy and I come and relax at her  house. So peaceful…so soothing.

-Catching up with my sister-in-law, Cathy. She gave me a good reminder on “smothering.” I need those reminders to be very careful not to “do to much” for my husband.

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
