For your consideration…
Most people associate the saying, “Watch that first step, it’s a doozy.” from the movie Groundhog Day. But it has to be much older than that because even as a child my mom used to say it to us whenever we tripped. It never failed to lighten the moment and so when I hear it, it brings joy to my spirit.
Our message today carries that same light=heartedness. It simply says, “Take that first step even if it isn’t the right one or we trip up, we have started going where we need to be.” The first step towards accomplishment is often the hardest. Getting started is the hardest part. It may seem like we have not been successful but suspend judgment and take another look. We took a step and that is a success.
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…
-Affirm…“I am loved.”
-Affirm…“I am never alone. My Guidance is with me 24/7”
-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.
-Take a step…any step…without judgment.
What made me smile yesterday…

Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
