Today's thought: The best day.
From Ralph Waldo Emerson:
"Write it on your hearts that each day is the best day of the year."
When we anticipate good, we will see good everywhere.....so, why not anticipate good?
Wishing you the blessing of every day being the best day of the year.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Decisions
Friday, February 27, 2015
Today's thought: Decisions
From Deepak Chopra, an excellent 3-step process for conscious decision making:
"Step 1: Witness the choices you make in every moment. In doing so, you bring your decision making process from the unconscious realm into the conscious realm.
'Step 2: Before making a choice, ask yourself two questions: What are the consequences of this choice that I'm making? And, will this choice bring happiness and fulfillment to me, as well as to others?
'Step 3: Tune in to your body's inner wisdom. As you consider the choice before you, pay attention to the sensations in your body and use your feelings of comfort or discomfort to guide you.
'Most of us receive the message of comfort or discomfort in the area of the heart. Some receive it in our solar plexus, (the proverbial "gut feeling").
'Putting your attention on your heart, ask your body, "How do I feel about this choice?" If your body sends a feeling of comfort and eagerness, you can plunge ahead. If your body sends a signal of physical or emotional distress, recognize that this isn't a choice that will lead you in the direction of your life's dreams. Pause and consider other possibilities until you find a choice that resonates with your heart's guidance."
Many of our choices become habitual. By following the above, we bring our choices to the conscious level, consider them carefully, and make the wisest choice we are capable of, at the time.
Wishing you the blessing of wise choices that bring you happiness.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

The Law of Attraction
Thursday, February 26, 2015
Today's thought: The Law of Attraction
The Law of Attraction, simply put, means like attracts like. We will always attract the dominant thought in our minds, words and actions. When we make the effort to align ourselves with God, with the good in the Universe, we are aligning ourselves with peace, love, joy, abundance, honesty, compassion, empathy, charity; and only good can result from those qualities. Good will always yield good; it cannot do otherwise.
Wishing you blessings in abundance.....and peace, joy and love, always.

The mind.
Wednesday, February 25, 2015
Today's thought: The mind.
From the writings of Bodhidharma:
"The mind is the root from which all things grow. If you can understand the mind, everything else is included. The ignorant mind, with its infinite afflictions, passions and evils, is rooted in the three poisons: greed, anger, and delusion."
The Buddha said: "With our thoughts, we make the world."
When we choose to fill our minds with thoughts of peace, joy, love, honesty, compassion, empathy and charity, and act on these thoughts, we make better lives for ourselves in particular, for others in general, and the planet begins to heal. It all begins in the mind.
Wishing you beautiful blessings for the rest of your lives, and beyond.
Peace. Joy. Love.

Tuesday, February 24, 2015
Today's thought: A peaceful day.
My wish for you is a peaceful day. May you have time to calmly do all that which is yours to do. May this day bring at least one thing you can laugh at; one person who loves you; one beautiful object to delight your eyes and bring a smile to your face. May you be in harmony with your surroundings, and may your every step, every breath, every beat of your heart be filled with gratitude to God. May today and every day be a peaceful day.
Peace, joy, and love, always.

Honor the body.
Monday, February 23, 2015
Today's thought: Honor the body.
Unity's Daily Word for today so beautifully expresses the importance of honoring the body that I would like to share it with you, along with a verse from the Bible:
"Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God." 1 Corinthians 6:19
From Daily Word:
"My body is a holy temple of Spirit. Its true purpose is to fully express and embody Divine Love and Life. I release any behaviors that may deplete my body. I support its vitality through my loving attention to its messages and needs.
'I honor my body by eating nourishing food and living a healthy lifestyle. I regularly send love and thanksgiving to all parts of my body, energizing them with affirmative words of Truth. My increasing body awareness helps me recognize and release challenging emotions that I may have repressed and stored as physical pain or illness. I honor my needs for rest and recreation. As I devotedly serve my body temple, I create space for the sacred to unfold in my life."
Whatever our age, shape, size, or color, when we consider all that our bodies do for us, 24/7, from the moment of conception to this moment in time, we must realize that we are all living, breathing miracles in motion. Honor the body. Honor yourself. You shelter the Spirit of God.
Peace, joy, and love, always.

God's healing love.
Sunday, February 22, 2015
Today's thought: God's healing love.
Affirmations of good bring calm and peace to our minds and bodies. When we are calm, it is easier to think of solutions to whatever problems we may perceive. Two affirmations that I find particularly helpful are:
"God's healing love flows in and through me, and I am deeply grateful."
"Thank you, God, that you hold all of us in the palm of Your hand."
God's love is not limited, but embraces all life, In God's healing, holy light, all darkness is absorbed and becomes light. Let us all do our part to send God's love and light to all life that His light may spread within us, around us, and surround the planet. And all of life and earth and stone will be forever blessed.
Wishing you the blessing of the awareness that there is only God, and God is only Love.

Saturday, February 21, 2015
Today's thought: Love, the great healer.
From the writings of White Eagle:
"Love is the true secret of all healing. Seek for harmony in your human relationships; love your fellow creatures, love your fellow men. Feel in your heart the gentleness of the masters. Love, and your whole body will be re-created, it will shine with the light of heaven."
Love yourself also, realizing that you are a child of God, worthy of love and respect. Love heals us all; enough love will heal the planet.
Wishing you blessings without number.....and most of all, the blessings of love, peace, and joy, always.

Friends of all ages.
Friday, February 20, 2015
Today's thought: Friends of all ages.
True friends are the treasures of life, the flowers of life. And what a wonderful thing it is when we can be a friend to others. We all have better lives when we know we have friends who will laugh with us in good times and be loving, caring, and supportive in times of grief and sorrow.
Cultivate friends of all ages. Each generation brings a different view of life and we learn from the differences what will benefit us, what to accept and what to let go. My own life has been immeasurably blessed, and forever changed for the better, because of friends.
Wishing you the blessing of treasured friends of all ages.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Happy Chinese New Year!
Thursday, February 19, 2015
Happy Chinese New Year!
Today marks the first day in the Chinese New Year of the Sheep. The Year of the Sheep is associated with peace, slows the pace, and brings tranquility. It is also associated with beauty, creativity, and art in all its forms.
The Chinese calendar is based on lunar months of 28 days each, which is why our calendars differ. In the past, the Year of the Sheep has marked the discovery or invention of color photography, the steamroller, the heart transplant, and Vitamin B12. It is also the year of the first Montessori school, and Mother Teresa's Nobel Peace Prize.
Wishing you all the beautiful qualities associated with the Year of the Sheep.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Law of Attraction
Wednesday, February 18, 2015
Today's thought: Law of Attraction
In the writings of Abraham, we find the Law of Attraction which declares that we draw to ourselves those things we habitually think about, talk about, do. We can liken this to planting seeds. When we plant flower seeds, flowers bloom; when we plant vegetable seeds, we harvest vegetables; and each seed is true to itself. Sunflower seeds produce only sunflowers; carrot seeds produce only carrots; apple seeds will produce only apple trees.
In the same way, our positive thoughts, words, and actions will bring us positive results and experiences; and our negative thoughts, words, and actions will bring us more of the same. Understand, and accept, that like produces like. We cannot plant weeds and expect to harvest roses.
Wishing you all the blessings life has to offer.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Laughter
Tuesday, February 17 2015
Today's thought: Laughter
One of my favorite poems is "Laughter," by Serene S. West. When we get caught up in the 'busyness' of our lives, most of us begin to think that life is a totally serious business and we miss out on the healing benefits of laughter. As a reminder, Serene's poem is being re-posted today.
"Laughter is a melody, a concert from the heart,
A tickling of the angels, creative living art.
Laughter heals and comforts, it's sometimes gentle -- sometimes bold,
Laughter is a healing dance, performed within the soul."
Wishing you the blessing of laughter.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

From the writings of Fr. Henri Nouwen:
"The discipline of gratitude is the explicit effort to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift of love, a gift to be celebrated with joy."
Let every step, every breath, every beat of our hearts be a "Thank You, God," for all the blessings poured down upon us, always.
Peace. Joy. Love.

The following beautiful prayer was written by St. Francis of Assisi, a prayer for any day and every day:

To await the unfolding of Thy will, patiently, serenely,
To meet others peacefully, joyously,
To face tomorrow confidently, courageously."
May all the beautiful qualities mentioned in this prayer be yours every day.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Practice the presence of God.
Monday, February 9, 2015
Today's thought: Practice the presence of God.
There is a tendency to forget, or perhaps take for granted, that God is everywhere within us and around us and that without Him, there is no life, no energy, no Universe. The Spirit of God animates the tiniest cell life, to the unlimited space of the Universe, and everything in-between. Practice the presence of God, Who is in the very air that we breathe and, as Yogananda said, "as close to us as hands and feet."
Wishing you the blessing of the awareness that God is everywhere and that we cannot be where God is not.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

From White Eagle's book, "The Quiet Mind:"
"Do not be discouraged. Learn not to be disappointed in anything, or any person. You are disappointed because your will, your desire, has been frustrated. Learn to submit to the divine will, for God's will is all-wise. Wait then for God's appointments, learning to tread the path wisely, serenely."

Elegance
Thursday, February 5, 2015
Today's thought: Elegance
From the writings of Paulo Coelho:
"Elegance is usually confused with superficiality, fashion, lack of depth. This is a serious mistake: human beings need to have elegance in their actions and in their posture because the word is synonymous with good taste, amiability, equilibrium and harmony."
To have elegance of mind is to see the good in everyone, to be honest and trustworthy, to mind our manners and our language, to respect life in all its forms, and to reflect the Divine spark that lies within us all.
Wishing you the blessing of elegance in every area of your life.....and peace, joy and love, always.

Patience
Tuesday, February 3, 2015
Today's thought: Patience
Let us be mindfully patient with ourselves and with others. Let us take our example from a flower that quietly, slowly, and patiently grows from a seed into a beautiful flower in full bloom. The more we care for the seeds and plants throughout their growing cycle, the lovelier the end result.
On a daily basis, let us care for ourselves with love and patience, and as we grow in love and kindness towards ourselves, it will naturally follow that we will extend love, kindness and patience to others.
Wishing you the blessing of a patient, kind, and loving heart.....and peace, joy and love, always.

Today's thought: Patience
Let us be mindfully patient with ourselves and with others. Let us take our example from a flower that quietly, slowly, and patiently grows from a seed into a beautiful flower in full bloom. The more we care for the seeds and plants throughout their growing cycle, the lovelier the end result.
On a daily basis, let us care for ourselves with love and patience, and as we grow in love and kindness towards ourselves, it will naturally follow that we will extend love, kindness and patience to others.
Wishing you the blessing of a patient, kind, and loving heart.....and peace, joy and love, always.

Forgiveness
Monday, February 2, 2015
Today's thought: Forgiveness
From Unity:
"I forgive and begin anew. An artist can seamlessly craft an erroneous brush stroke into a new and beautiful part of a painting. The canvas is forgiving, thus turning an apparent mistake into a fresh aspect. With forgiveness, I can turn seeming failures into opportunities to grow.
'To transform a painful event into a new and positive experience, I let go of attachment to what happened or what should have been. By releasing past hurts, I open myself to beautiful opportunities.
"When I forgive, I give way for the new to emerge in the canvas of my life. I can paint new experiences. I feel energized and embrace unlimited possibilities. As I forgive and move forward, I create my life as I want it to be."
From Ephesians 4:32: "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ has forgiven you."
Wishing you the blessing of forgiving yourself as well as others.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Questions to ask ourselves.
Sunday, February 1, 2015
Today's thought: Questions to ask ourselves.
From the writings of Fr. Henri Nouwen:
"Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone's face? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come."
Wishing you the blessings of peace, joy, and love, always.
