Dear Friends,

I love looking at all the beautiful trees on my morning walks. Lately I noticed the birch trees were shedding their outer bark and underneath was this new and very smooth white bark.   What a wonderful example of shedding what no longer serves us.  Letting go of any negativity that is layered on top of our true God selves.

The trees looked free and happy swaying in the wind.  We too can be free and happy when we let go of what no longer serves us:

unforgiveness,

judgement

gossip

victim attitude

….you add yours.

Underneath it all is our True God Conscious Self, always ready willing and available to emerge through the darkness of our consciousness and BE the light, smooth loving spirit that we are intended to be.

I believe our hearts were blown wide open by Pope Frances’ visit this past week. His words were kind, and yet he made us look at our social and justice system and how we can improve it, by taking care of and respecting others of all faith, cultures, creeds and affiliations.

All people are God’s people. All people are God in Expression. All people are sacred.  Let us truly practice the Golden and the Platinum rule in our lives wherever we go and whomever we are with. The more we do that, the more the unwanted layers peel away and we shed what no longer serves us.  We become and behave as God, in all, as all because God is all.

Dear Friends,

We had an excellent workshop on Saturday.   Women empowering themselves and then empowering others as well as men empowering women, are actions which will change the world.  We saw women who broke the “rules” to make change happen. We heard about women who faced challenges and stepped forward to complete the task, take responsibility, use the skills of collaboration and consensus to lead.   We know whatever is pulling at your heart strings, you have the capability to do it.

“God calls the unequipped, then equips the called!”  

As the quote says above, whatever is calling you, go for it, open a new door, make a new path.

Muriel Strode said,

“Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”

EMPOWERED WOMEN of FAITH Saturday!

 Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life
–Omar Khayyam

Dear Friends,
My morning walks are not only nourishing, they are Divinely inspiring.  One morning I was enthralled by the beauty of God’s works and I stopped by a spectacular spider web. It was huge, intricate and stunning as the sun sparkled on the web.  I had to look at it deeply and take a picture.  I really wanted to Capture the Moment!  On my walks I do set an intention to be alert for God signs, whispers, and gifts of glorious newness.  If I don’t, I will miss them.
When my children were little they were always so independent, which was great.  However, there were those moments when they came to me and just wanted to talk, show me something or to just sit on my lap.  No matter what I was doing, or how busy I was, I always stopped to capture the moment with them. Once they felt heard, nourished and listened to, they were off being independent again!  We must always make time to stop and capture the moment for love and well being or it will be gone.
•Give a loved one an unexpected hug and kiss.        …C the M
•Hug and kiss your kids and grand kids even when they are wet, dirty, muddy and joyful  from playing outside… C the M
•Look up at the sky and appreciate the clouds and all the formations they create…        C the M
•See a tree, climb it, talk to the Merlin in it. What does it tell you?  …C the M

            Set an intention to discover something new in your                         neighborhood.  Be open to discovery….

even if you are not sure what it is
Stop and Capture the Moment!

When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor.
It’s to enjoy each step along the way.
-Wayne Dyer

Dear Friends,

We are beginning to leave the summer behind and embrace the newness of the Fall.  I can’t help thinking of Wayne Dyer, one of the icons of positive health, wholeness, prosperity and high consciousness. We honor him today for his love, wisdom and compassion for humanity.  His earth time is over and we know he is in the midst of embracing the newness and wonder of the other side.  I love his quote above.  I believe through his childhood and adulthood he kept dancing through it all. He found his secret to living a happy, purposeful and abundant life and was willing to share it with the world. Wayne, we know you are embraced in Divine Love as you continue your eternal journey.

We were at a friend’s memorial yesterday and we all celebrated the fun memories we had as well as the sad. We know this person too is moving forward on his forever life journey.

So, while we are still here in our earth life, let us take time to celebrate the life we have with our friends and family. Take the time to call, email, visit and express your love and appreciation while they are visible and within hugging reach.

Remember to laugh, dance and enjoy each step along the way.
