For your consideration…
Another of my Mom’s favorite sayings comes in today. She seems to be around me a lot these days.
What does tit for tat mean? It means behaving the same way they did. Often this phrase is used negatively but the phrase itself is not negative. The situation where it is used and the intention is what carries the energy of it.
Today’s message uses it as an example. We are asked this question? “What are we waiting for?” Tit for tat? Are we waiting for someone to smile at us before we smile back? Are we waiting for someone to call us first before we call them? Are we waiting for someone to ask for help before we offer? Are we waiting for a financial windfall before we are willing to put in the work? Are we withholding love until love is shown to us? Are we withholding HOPE until we see signs of it?
Look around us. The power struggles, the attacks and responses, in governments, relationships, are destructive. What do we want to see? What is the example we want to set?
Our steps signal the Universe on what we want in our life. It is up to us to take the first step. What do we want? Are we wasting our power waiting on others to make the first move? We are asked to be the initiators?
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.”
-Remember…You are the keeper of the light. Wherever you go, there can be no darkness.
-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.
-Be the initiator of what you want to see and be.
What made me smile yesterday…
-Watching Conner in the morning.
-Took him to swim class and then school.
-Catching up with Mary, Pam, Jackie, and Alex.
-A good book series.
