For your consideration…..

Our message today is about “Oh, by the ways.” I love it but I was shocked when I went to search for an image for it. Most of the photos I searched came up as negative, even spiteful. Albeit many were funny but our message is anything but those things.

Our message today points out a little bit about how our life works. It is a positive and inspiring message.

We know there are no coincidences. We are exactly where we are supposed to be at every given moment. The Universe has been rearranged to make it so. We are reminded of this so that we can “notice” the “Oh, by the ways.”

What are the “Oh, by the ways?” They are those moments in life where we go somewhere of do something for one purpose and something else occurs.

For example…

-You go to get your nails done and you meet someone inspiring or someone who needs to be inspired. Somehow through random conversation you get around to finding that purpose.

-You come across something you thought you had lost forever while doing something totally unrelated.

-You discover a solution or product that is totally perfect, again while doing something totally unrelated.

-A date is suddenly changed and when you go to find plane tickets you get them much cheaper than originally expected.

-You go to an event and come up with an amazing contact to help you in your life purpose.

-Someone comments that they need something and it just so happens you have one you are trying to find a new home for.

-You are trying to find someone to rake the leaves from your yard and before you can find one an amazing wind comes up and blows them away. (My husband loves when this happens.)

-You are wondering how someone is and they call you out of the blue to catch up.

-You run to the market for toilet paper and find an amazing sale meat and then find out you are unexpectedly having company for dinner.

-You forget you need gas and bypass the gas station then pull into the next one and find it is $.10 a gallon cheaper.

-You go to lunch with friends and in casual conversation find out information that you need regarding a job, event, person etc. that you didn’t even know you were missing.

We could go on and on and on. The point is that through “Oh, by the ways…” the Universe often does double duty and inserts into our lifves more than what we plan for or expect. It finds a way to get up what our Guidance knows we need.

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.

-Notice the “Oh, by the ways.” Notice how remarkable and magical our life truly is.

What made me smile yesterday…..

-I took an old (94 years old) family book to school. My kiddos have been reading The Three Little Pigs and this book had it along with other fairy tales.

-Lots of uncertain weather but whenever we needed to be out it cooperated.

-Dinner with Pam and Jeff.

-My Women’s Circle.

Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
