Don’t Do It, Don’t Give Up

For your consideration…

We are in shock. We are sad. Once again the unthinkable has happened, innocent people gunned down. We feel helpless. We feel anger.

But we are not helpless. We are never helpless. There is always something we can do. Perhaps we are far away but that does not mean we can not help. We can help ourselves, victims, others and the Universe to heal.

Perhaps we don’t feel that way. We feel the futility and darkness. That is the ego talking. Our authentic self knows that light always destroys darkness. Love always destroys hate. Authentic prayer for healing from our authentic self ripples around the Universe on the energy of the Divine.

We can also forgive. Yes, for many of us it is very hard to do. But if we don’t forgive, the anger will chip away at our soul.

Forgiveness doesn’t excuse their behavior

Forgiveness prevents their behavior from destroying your heart…

If we give up, we give our power away. Never, never give your power away.

That is the HOPE. And so it is.

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

-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.

-Hold space for love and light.

What made me smile yesterday…..

-A beautiful sun shiny day reminding me of promise and HOPE.

-Sitting in the sunshine with my friend Jackie and later my neighbors.

-A last minute change gave me another day at Stillwater.

-Synchronicity….I forgot to mention that I had a great phone visit with my friend, Jody, Saturday night. We made lots of plans and strategized about the class reunion. The next morning we got a Facebook message from another planner about it.

I also was thinking that I never heard from my summer reading partner. Then as soon as I turned on my email, virtually 2 minutes later, I got an email from her.

I love when my thoughts are manifested.

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
