For your consideration…
I absolutely love today’s message. Here is why. Collectively we have been going through big changes in the world. It has been hard. We have had all of these movements rise up and tell us what we need to think and do. We have been told our thinking is all wrong. We agree with them or we are somehow ignorant and defective. Often they are in conflict with one another.
Let me be very clear. When movements arise, they are to satisfy a need, or right an injustice, etc. But often, they go too far with their newfound power. In many ways, they become what they hate.
So again, we have been going through a hard change with the movements, covid, and politics. But here is the good news. We are coming to the other side of it. We had to experience it to grow but we are almost on the other side of it. This year is all about that. It is also the year when we stand up and think for ourselves. The mob mentality is falling by wayside, losing its power. We are no longer willing to accept that there is something wrong with us if we disagree. Does this mean that we are confrontational? No, absolutely not. We lovingly accept that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, thoughts, feelings, and words.
Yes, are taking charge of ourselves. There is a lot of power in that. And there is a lot of opportunities AND responsibility. It is our job, part of our life purpose to explore, investigate, and grow in our body, mind, and spirit.
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.”
-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.
-Explore, investigate, be excited.
What made me smile yesterday…
-Finished a good book, Black Ice by Claudia Whitsett.
-Crafted and have a good start on a poem for Shannon’s birthday.
-Paid bills…yeah done for the month.
Love, Blessings, and Gratitude,
