It's almost two months since my last entry. Every so often in my life I go through a phase of re-evaluation of my life and my beliefs, and I question all that I think I know. The more I learn, the more I understand how very little I know, and there are times when all I know is that I know nothing.
For now, one thing I believe is that we are all connected and we are all affected by all that is happening to all of us, individually and collectively, along with all animal and plant life, and the planet itself. So long as there is violence perpetrated and perpetuated on the planet, the planet itself will be violent and respond with earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, and erupting volcanoes. All of life vibrates and the energies, good and evil, collect, feed upon themselves, and manifest . All of life breathes as one. We cannot live without the oxygen that trees exhale, and trees cannot live without the carbon dioxide that we exhale. We are interdependent; we are all connected and we are all affected by everything that happens on the planet. All of life breathes as one.
We serve all humanity when we live an honorable, peaceful life, and we help to hold the balance of the planet. We do this for ourselves, our children, and in honor of our ancestors.
Be grateful for all that you see, all that you hear, all that you learn, and all that you have. Be grateful for your life and live it to the best of your ability. Give yourself the most beautiful gift of a life well lived.
Peace, joy, and love, always.

We each make a difference.
Monday, August 15, 2016
These beautiful words from White Eagle's book, "The Quiet Mind," tell us how each of us can make a difference, each of us plays a role in the collective life of the planet.
"The Greatest Service"
'"One soul can help the whole world. You say, "I want to do some work. Use me, here I am!" but, my child, you don't need to come to us to offer yourself. The service is here beside you and waiting in your own heart every day. The greatest service that anyone can give is continually to think aright --- continually to send forth love, to forgive."
Wishing you the blessing of knowing in your heart, that you can make a difference simply by being alive, loving, and forgiving.
Peace, joy, and love, always.

A Prayer for America
Tuesday, July 19, 2016
"A Prayer for America" was written by Stephan Dinan, founder of The Shift Network, and released on July 4th of this year.
A Prayer for America
On this day dedicated to independence,
I pray that we release our celebration of violence,
And remember that we are made of nobler virtues.
May we recognize our high and holy purpose,
Which cannot be advanced through bloodshed,
Or fulfilled by hate, greed or fear.
E Pluribus Unum is more than a motto;
It is a mission that
Can only be served by daring to love
All of humanity with a tender embrace,
Whispering the words that you, too, are welcome.
May we own our strength without the need to dominate.
May we claim our power without the need to polarize.
May we know that we were ultimately created
For peace to reign in this beautiful world.
Our character was forged in history's fires,
Which required some tempering and toughening
To defend the cause of liberty.
We can honor the warrior path we have walked,
Yet is is not our true destination;
Rather, it is to finally end the long torment of war,
And arrive at a new beginning:
Our human family reunited,
Our precious planet preserved,
With the grace of God blessing all.
Let us lead the way, America,
With peace in our hearts, on our lips and in our hands.
Let us bring that new dawn together.
Stephan Dinan
The Shift Network.com is a huge treasure of information on many, many subjects featuring leaders in their fields, such as Caroline Myss, Dr. Norman Shealy, David Crow, Marianne Williamson, Deepak Chopra, and the list goes on and on. It is wonderful, and hopeful, to know that so many are working so diligently to help enlighten us all.
The 'shift' in The Shift Network pertains to a shift in consciousness, which happens when we come to a higher understanding of our own health, peace, forgiveness, etc. If you have not visited the website before, I think you will find at least one presentation that touches your heart and very possibly, more.
Stephan Dinan's new book, "Sacred America, Sacred World" was released on July 4, 2016 and is available on Amazon, at Barnes & Noble, and at The Shift Network.com
Wishing you the blessing of the realization that peace, like happiness, is an inside job and one that we all need to embrace and practice. There will be peace in our world when there are more of us who love peace, than there are those who hate war.
Love,
Zizi

Everything sacred, everything beautiful.
Tuesday, July 12, 2016
Everything within us, around us, above us and beneath us is in transition, going from one form to another, growing, evolving, disintegrating, and all of it is sacred, and all of it is beautiful. Everything that is, is alive and everything that is alive, is alive because of Spirit, and Spirit is sacred and beautiful.
Walk gently and reverently upon this Divine Mother Earth that feeds us, clothes us, shelters us and is alive with an infinite number of beautiful things that feed our minds, bodies, hearts, and souls. We all stand on sacred ground and all is beautiful.
Wishing you the blessing of eyes that see beyond the obvious, and a soul that knows everything is sacred, everything is beautiful......and peace, joy, and love, always.

Don't take anything personally.
Wednesday, July 6, 2016
From the writings of Don Miguel Ruiz:
"When you make a strong habit not to take anything personally, you avoid many upsets in your life. Your anger, jealousy, and envy will disappear, and even your sadness will simply disappear if you don't take things personally."
It will be easier to not take things personally if you remember that the way others treat us has more to do with who they are, than with who we are.
Don Miguel Ruiz' book, "The Four Agreements," is a wonderful manual for living, and for spiritual growth. Whatever we learn benefits us, first of all, and most of all. Love and respect yourself enough to learn the laws of the Universe, the laws of God, that you may understand how these laws operate, engage them and thereby live your best possible life. We are all beloved children of God, worthy of love, respect, health and happiness.....but we also have to do our part and choose to live the laws.
Wishing you all the blessings you can imagine.....and then, that many more. Peace, joy, and love, always.

Best friend/Worst enemy
Saturday, June 25, 2016
My best friend and my worst enemy are the same person, and that same person is me.
I am my own best friend when I cultivate healthy habits for myself; when I learn and educate myself so that I can care for myself; when I focus on positive thoughts and positive outcomes for the choices I make; when I choose to be loving and giving; when I choose to be helpful rather than critical; when I understand we are all in need of love and compassion; when I understand I am not here to judge, I am here to help; when I choose to follow the laws of spirit, the laws of the universe, the laws of man, and my own inner guidance.
I am my own worst enemy when I choose to do none of the above.
Make no mistake, for me, it all begins and ends in my own mind and follows through in my own words and actions. And this is true for everyone. Everything that has been, is now, or ever will be, began as a thought in someone's mind. This is why our choice of thoughts is so important. The life we live today is the end result of all the thoughts we have ever had, the words we have spoken, and the actions we have taken. Like attracts like. It's the law.
Wishing you the blessing of an understanding mind and heart that you may always be your own best friend.....and the blessings of love, peace, and joy, always.

Pray for those who don't.
Tuesday, June 14, 2016
Let us pray for those who don't. Let us visualize this beautiful planet surrounded with love and light, peace and goodwill, kindness and compassion.
We are all connected and we are all affected by our own actions and by the actions of others. We can hold in our minds and hearts positive thoughts and good intentions, or negative thoughts of harm and destruction. And we will all be affected by both the positive and the negative, because we are all connected. We are all living on the same planet, breathing in the air that surrounds us, reacting to all that is around us. Be the one who makes a difference for good. Be the one who cares enough to make a difference in your own life and in all of life.
Let us pray for those who don't. Let us visualize this beautiful planet surrounded with love and light, peace and goodwill, kindness and compassion.
Peace, joy, and love, always.

A prayer for travelling.
Thursday, June 2, 2016
The May 31st Daily Word had a beautiful prayer for travelling that I would like to share in this space. It is a beautiful prayer to remember whether we are travelling short distances or long, on foot or in other modes of transportation. You may want to keep a copy in your car, purse, or wallet.
"I am divinely guided and protected wherever I travel.
'Wherever I am and whatever my next destination, I travel with a positive perspective. I thoroughly enjoy the journey because I feel a sense of deep peace and security that comes from trusting in Spirit.
'Relying on the indwelling Spirit as my protector and my guide does not mean that I ignore basic safety measures when I travel. To the contrary, being grounded in Spirit means that I make appropriate preparations for my trip, guided by my innate wisdom.
'Staying steeped in an awareness of Spirit's omnipresent love also means that when the unexpected occurs, I react out of faith and calm rather than out of fear and anxiety. Wherever I go, I feel totally safe and secure because I trust in the wisdom and love of God within me."
Wishing you safe journeys always and everywhere. Peace, joy, and love,
Zizi

Whatever happens today.....
Saturday, May 28, 2016
Whatever happens today will happen for my greatest and highest good. Whatever happens today will happen so that I may learn and grow in patience, understanding, compassion, and love. Whatever happens today will be filled with blessings if I accept that it is for my greatest and highest good.
We come to this place of learning, our beautiful planet Earth, to learn to be kind and respectful of ourselves and others; to learn to be loving and forgiving of ourselves and others; to learn to care for ourselves and others; to learn to care for and love our Blessed Mother Earth, who shelters us, clothes us, and feeds us all the days of our lives. We are meant to learn something of beauty every day and to share it with others.
We are all beloved children of God, worthy and deserving of love and respect, peace and happiness. Whatever happens today will happen for our greatest and highest good. We are meant to live beautiful, productive, joyful lives. Believe it, and it will be true for you.
Peace, joy, and love, always.

Tranquility
Tuesday, May 3, 2016
From White Eagle's beautiful book, "The Quiet Mind."
Live Tranquilly in God
"Patience really means confidence in God, knowing that God's angels have you in their care. God, the Great Spirit, is all around you and in you and is working out a wise and beautiful purpose in your soul. Do not live with the feeling that you must get over the ground as quickly as possible to reach a certain point. Just live every moment, every hour, every day, tranquilly in the protective love of God, taking the hours as they come and doing one thing at a time, quietly."
Wishing you the blessing of always living in the moment, peacefully and productively doing one thing at a time, quietly.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Life is Worthwhile.
Tuesday, April 26, 2016
From the beautiful writings of White Eagle:
Life is Worthwhile
"The real self, the divine urge, knows what you need to the last detail. Think of the God-urge as a radiant light ever guiding your soul on the path.....it is not what is happening to you on the outer planes, not your circumstances, not the riches which you have or have not --- but only your relationship from within to all beings and to God --- your inner reaction to those circumstances --- which is the all-important thing, and which is actually a form of initiation through which you are passing daily."
On a moment-to-moment basis, let a part of your mind always be in a state of gratitude for all that is and life will be revealed to you in all its infinite beauty. Let every breath, every step, every beat of your heart whisper, "Thank You, God." Be a light unto the world. Be a blessing to your family and friends. Be the beloved child of God you were born to be.
Peace, joy, and love, always.

Do your best.
Sunday, April 17, 2016
In any situation, on a daily basis, do the best you can. Some days that will be an easy task and some days, it won't. Accept that, and focus on the positive actions rather than the negative. So long as we try, we are moving forward and that is enough for any person, any day.
Take care of yourself; care for your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health so that doing your best will be easy and effortless.
Peace, joy and love, always.

The soul never dies.
Tuesday, March 29, 2016
The soul never dies. I recently came across this beautiful poem by Jane Ormes that expresses this so beautifully, I wanted to share it with you.
"Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow...
I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain...
When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die."
The scientists tell us that we are made of the same matter as the stars. We are the stuff that stars are made of and the breath of God gives us life. How beautiful the world would be if we all realized this truth.
Wishing you all the blessings of this beautiful Spring with all its new beginnings.......and peace, joy, and love, always.

Forgiveness
Friday, March 25, 2016
In commemoration of the Friday when Jesus, hanging from the cross, said, "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do," let us also forgive ourselves and others whom we perceive have harmed us in any way.
There is a time for feeling wounded, a time to grieve, and a time to let go and let God take care of what has happened in our lives. In His infinite love and compassion, all will be well. Do what you can, the best you know how, and leave the rest to God.

In commemoration of the Friday when Jesus, hanging from the cross, said, "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do," let us also forgive ourselves and others whom we perceive have harmed us in any way.
There is a time for feeling wounded, a time to grieve, and a time to let go and let God take care of what has happened in our lives. In His infinite love and compassion, all will be well. Do what you can, the best you know how, and leave the rest to God.
Wishing you all the blessings of this Holy Easter.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

A Greater Power
Monday, March 14, 2016
From the writings of White Eagle:
Further Steps on a Spiritual Path
"A Greater Power knows our true need. We would give you a vision of an infinite power working in perfect order, from the heights to the depths, from heaven above right down to the physical and through all humanity. We would show you a process in all life of changing darkness into light. Light creates life. And even in the very lowest form of life, light is working amid the darkness. Divine law, the law of God, is working on the darkness, the positive state working on the negative, in a process that is gradually producing the perfect God-conscious being."
We are born knowing what is right and what is wrong, what is good and what is bad, which actions further our spiritual journey and which actions delay it. Our conscience, our intuition, our inner guidance are within us from the beginning and remain to the end. It is up to each of us to choose whether we will live in the Light or in the darkness. And whatever we do to and for ourselves, we do to and for all others, because we are all connected. We are all one family in the mind of God.
Wishing you the blessing of choosing to live in the Light.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Information
Friday, March 4, 2016
Within the past six months or so, I have come across some sources of information that have been very helpful to me. I share them in the hope they may also be helpful to you.
The Shift Network.com has programs in the fields of spirituality, health and exercise, foods including medicinal plants, a healthy brain, etc. The speakers are all leading experts in their respective fields. The 'shift' in Shift Network indicates a 'shift in consciousness,' that we may grow in understanding.
Thinking Allowed.com hosts interviews with leading edge researchers in various fields. I was particularly interested in the interviews with Fred Alan Wolf, a quantum physicist who explains science and spirituality are in accord, in language that we can all understand.
Conscious TV.com is a British network doing the same as The Shift Network and Thinking Allowed.
Wishing you the blessing of learning and growing in wisdom and understanding.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Our own sacredness.
Saturday, February 27, 2016
We choose a physical body that will help us evolve spiritually and come to this beautiful planet Earth to live a purposeful life that will lead us to recognize our own sacredness.
All that is was once a thought in the mind of God into which He breathed life, and life came into being. All of life came into being and all of life is connected through the breath of God.
All of life, the visible and the invisible, is connected and affected by our own individual thoughts and actions added to the collective thoughts and actions of all thinking creatures. Each of us has the power and the privilege of changing our own individual world and also becoming a vehicle for change for the planet and the entire family of God.
We are spiritual beings who have chosen to experience a physical life. Let us remember the sacred place from which we came, and to which we will return, and conduct ourselves accordingly.
Wishing you the blessing of recognizing the sacredness of your own being.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

The Power of Thought
Monday, February 15, 2016
Today I am once again posting 'Wisdom from White Eagle,' who explains the power of thought so much better than I could.
The Power of Thought: "It comes down to this, that every single person has an immense opportunity to send forth the thought of God. Just think of God and give the thought of God. Just think of God and give God the opportunity to work through the physical life; and this applies to all the aspects of your life on earth. If the light is generated and sent forth, you are acting with all the power that God has given you to assist your earth companions to respond to and absorb the light which is being sent to them. Good thought, God thought, can raise the whole life of humanity."
Wishing you the blessing of realizing that your thoughts matter, that all thoughts matter, that what is happening in the world today is the end result of all the thoughts, words, and actions of all of us. We can change our lives when we change our thoughts and, equally important, we can help change life on the planet for all of us.
Peace, joy, and love, always.

Forgiveness
Sunday, February 7, 2016
Wisdom from White Eagle:
"It is so easy to judge the actions of others, but dear ones, do try to refrain from judgment, for as you condemn others, so you condemn yourself. Strive to be tolerant and to give from your heart the gentle spirit of the master soul. Jesus the Christ is a master soul, man made perfect; and this highly evolved and perfected soul incarnated in order to reveal to individual men and women what they could themselves attain if they followed the simple, gentle way of the Christ.
'Forgive, my children, forgive. Whatever is in your heart, however hard you may feel towards any soul, possibly with justification according to material standards, pray to forgive as Jesus taught in his simple prayer. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. Do you not realize that in forgiving others, you are releasing yourselves? So long as you sit in harsh judgment on your fellows, refusing to forgive, you bring that same judgment upon yourself, for life is ruled by spiritual law. But as soon as you feel forgiveness in your own heart, you release yourself from the bondage of your karma.
'Karma is transmuted when men and women learn to think and act from the spirit, with love."
It has been said that forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves. Wishing you the blessing of forgiving yourself and others.......and peace, joy, and love, always.

Cause and effect.

Everything that happens is the result of all that went before and, at the same time, is also the foundation of all that is come. This is why each and every choice is important to bring to us all that which we most desire.
I am grateful for all of you who visit this site and wish you the blessings of wise choices, peace, joy, and love, always.

This day.
Monday, January 25, 2016
Today, I am re-posting a beautiful prayer written by St. Francis of Assisi:
"Lord, help me to live this day quietly, easily,
To lean upon Thy great strength trustfully, restfully,
To wait for the unfolding of Thy will, patiently, serenely,
To meet others peacefully, joyously,
To face tomorrow, confidently, courageously."
A beautiful prayer for this day, and every day. May all of the blessings of this beautiful prayer be yours, this day, and every day.
Peace. Joy. Love, always.

Divine Love
Wednesday, January 13, 2016
From the teachings of White Eagle:
The Essence of Divine Love
"There is no greater power than the Christ light. Control and command over the physical and spiritual atoms are achieved not by power of your earthly mind but by the very essence of the lowly spirit of the gentle Christ. Whatever problem lies before you can be solved by the Christ love, the great and only true solvent of all problems. The life, the power of the Christ-spirit can never be destroyed. Your body may die, people may disappoint you, and your world may pass away, but the spirit of the Son of God can never fail. Its light is life. Live in this light forever."
Wishing you the blessings of light, love, peace, and joy, always.

Let the past go.
Sunday, January 10, 2016
From the writings of Don Miguel Ruiz:
"Once lived, the past has very little value. And yet we carry its lifeless body into all future moments, allowing it to crush us with its weight, to identify us, and to speak for us."
Learn what you can from the past and let it go so that all of today's energy will be used to make today the best possible day, rather than a dreary rerun of yesterday, benefitting no one.
Wishing you the blessing of living in the moment, today and every day.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Peace.
Wednesday, January 6, 2016
Peace is a recurring subject in my writings as I believe when we have peace, we have everything. Any situation can be dealt with more wisely and more easily from a peaceful mind and heart. This beautiful prayer of peace by St. Teresa was posted on this site about four months ago. I think we all need reminders like this prayer to help us in our day-to-day living.
PEACE
"May today there be peace within you.
May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.
May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith.
May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.
May you be content knowing you are a child of God.
Let this presence settle into your bones and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.
It is there for each and every one of you."
Wishing for you, always and forever, the blessing of Peace.

Happy New Year!
January 1, 2016
Happy New Year!
Aside from the activities of today, take time to reflect and plan on what you would like to see in this New Year. By the universal Law of Attraction, we draw to ourselves those things upon which we focus. Each day of any year has the potential of infinite possibilities within it. All we have to do is choose which ones are important to us, make a plan for their reality, and work the plan. When we work the plan, the plan works for us.
Wishing for you limitless blessings in all areas of your life.....and peace, joy, and love, always.
