Excuses, Excuses

For your consideration……

At first I thought this message was just for me. When I realized it was meant for everyone, once again I bulked and asked for another one. Of course, when our angels really want something said, they do not budge. I must remember that they do not consider the message harsh. It must be my ego inserting the “judgement.” Hmmmm. Must work on that.

So you are thinking the message “no excuses” isn’t so bad. Well, let me give you the rest of the message. “Excuses, excuses are just so whats.”

When we are talking about easy things (constantly being late, being lazy, little lies saying we are busy when we aren’t etc.) this message isn’t so tough. But when we are talking about horrific childhoods, rape, grief, divorce, health issues etc., this message seems harsher.

Yet it is what it is. We are incarnated in this life to learn this life’s lessons. It is how we evolve as a person, as a culture, as a humanity.

Can lessons be painful? No doubt. But what we do with them makes all the difference. Deep down we know that. Yes? It may be harder to see that in ourselves than it is in other people. We constantly see people on the television and in magazines and books who are in front of us for how they handled adversity. They are constantly in front of us because it is big business. We like to see them. We recognize the HOPE.

Everyone has a story. Everyone has problems, big and small. That is the “so what” in the message today.

What is done is done. We have this moment. We can choose to live it as a victim or a survivor. We can pout or smile. We can choose sadness or HOPE. You have a choice. You always have a choice.

So what am I going to do with this message? I am choosing the HOPE side of things. I have signed up to this path and will remain committed. But I am asking for and expecting BIG help.

Bit by bit, piece by piece, hope by hope action steps anyone can take…..

-Meditate. Even if you are given assignments during meditation, you will also be given the help to carry them out. So do be afraid of connecting deep.

-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.

-Drink lots of water.

-Be joyous. Bask in nature. Feel its miracles.

-Have fun being you.

What made me smile yesterday…..

-I brought home so many treasures from my class. Kindergarteners still like to come up and give you a hug and make you things. My favorite is a boat that was drawn, colored and cut out. It is rough but I love it and am going to put it on my vision board. Yeah, I know come summer, I will want a boat. I can just HOPE for a miracle.

-One of the little girls I had, loves to skip. When we got back inside, I told them the story of my little girl and how she used to love to skip. She skipped everywhere until she got to grade school and noticed everyone looking at her. Then one day she received her Commissioning from the United States Naval Academy. She came down off the stage and in her joy for one brief moment… she forgot and…..she skipped. Dad and I cried. You could have heard a pin drop as I told that story to my class.

-Alex is joyous. She just makes me smile.

-Stillwater. Dude and I came up last night. Nothing but peace.

Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
