From the writings of Fr. Henri Nouwen:
"Spiritual identity means we are not what we do or what people say about us. And we are not what we have. We are the beloved daughters and sons of God."
We are children of God, children of Light. Let us remember that always and think, speak, and act accordingly.
Wishing you the blessing of being aware of all the blessings poured down upon us.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Wisdom
Friday, March 27, 2015
From the writings of White Eagle: Wisdom
"When you learn to love, wisdom grows within you. We always couple wisdom and love, because true love brings wisdom. You cannot separate wisdom from love. To love truly is to put the spiritual good, the growth, and the evolution of your brother or sister first. You want to see him or her growing in spirit, in character, in strength of purpose. And to this end you give your all."
Wishing you the blessings of wisdom and love......and peace, always.

Blessings, all.
Monday, March 9, 2015
Today's thought: Blessings, all.
All that we have, all that we are, and all that we ever will be are all blessings. Accepting who we are attracts the qualities we desire to become who we want to be. Contentment attracts contentment; discontent attracts discontent. When we consider life and all we can do because we are alive, we realize that we live in a shower of blessings each and every moment. Be aware; be grateful; and live your best possible life. We have the gift of free will and, therefore, choice.
Wishing you the awareness of all the blessings that pour down upon us every moment of our lives.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

P.S. Some years ago, I read a quote of Leonardo DaVinci that said once in a while we should go away from our work that we might view it more objectively. And this is what I plan to do for a few weeks. This is the 330th post on this blog and it is time for me to review what I have written, and decide how to proceed from here. While I am reviewing, you may want to do the same, scrolling back to some of the writing and quotes that particularly touched your heart.
I am so grateful to all of you who have read and followed this blog and I hope you will continue to do so. You are blessings in my life. Thank you.

Encouragement
Sunday, March 8, 2015
Today's thought: Encouragement
From the writings of John O'Donohue:
"There are people whose presence is encouraging. One of the most beautiful gifts in the world is the gift of encouragement. When someone encourages you, that person helps you over a threshold you might otherwise never have crossed on our own."
Let us be aware of those who need encouragement, especially children and young people. Let us be loving and supportive to others, and also to ourselves. We all need to know someone cares.
Wishing you all the blessings your lives can hold.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Children of God.
Saturday, March 7, 2015
Today's thought: Children of God.
From the writings of Paramahansa Yogananda:
"Make a resolution in this New Year to realize the truth that although as a mortal man you have certain habits, as a divine being you are free. Affirm again and again: "I am a child of God. I am one with God."
We are all of us, children of God; and all of us, members of His family.
Wishing you the blessing of realizing deep within your soul that we are all children of God. Let us act accordingly with peace, joy, and love.

Bless your work.
Friday, March 6, 2015
Today's thought: Bless your work.
Bless your life's work, the workplace, your co-workers, and all those who come into the building. If and when you perceive problems, view them as objectively as possible, and find calm and peaceful solutions. Do your own work and as much as possible, mind your own business. You are being paid a wage to do the best you can. Keep in mind that a company is a business, not a charitable organization. It is not there to take care of your every possible need, that is your responsibility. Learn all that you can, do your best, and bless the work that allows you to take care of yourself and pay your bills.
Wishing you all the blessings you wish for, and interesting, rewarding work.
Peace. Joy. Love,
Zizi

I accept myself.
Thursday, March 5, 2015
Today's thought: I accept myself.
From the writings of Henri Nouwen:
"The greatest trap in our life is not success, popularity or power, but self-rejection."
If we are to effect any changes in ourselves and our circumstances, we must first accept ourselves and those circumstances, view them objectively, and then decide on a course of action. Whatever mistakes we may think we made were all part of the learning-and-growing experiences of our lives. When we are able to accept ourselves, in all our humanness, we will more easily be able to accept others in theirs.
Wishing you the blessing of accepting yourself with love and understanding.....and peace and joy, always.

Food is life.
Wednesday, March 4, 2015
Today's thought: Food is life.
Be respectful of food. Food is life. When shopping for food, handle it gently, with respect and gratitude that someone planted the seeds and harvested it, someone transported it to the store where you shop, someone sorted the food and displayed it so that you might make your choices, and be grateful that food is available to you and you have the means to purchase it.
Be mindful of the food you choose and all those who make it possible for you to do so. Be respectful of your food and your body that will consume it. Food is life and a huge blessing. Be grateful, be respectful, and be gentle.
Wishing you the blessing of awareness of all you have, all you are, and all that you can be.
Peace. Joy. Love,
Zizi

Understanding
Monday, March 2, 2015
Today's thought: Understanding
From the writings of Paulo Coelho:
"Culture makes people understand each other better. And if they understand each other better in their soul, it is easier to overcome the economic and political barriers. But first they have to understand that their neighbor is, in the end just like them, with the same problems, the same questions."
Regardless of shape, size, ethnicity, or color, we are all children of God, worthy and deserving of love and respect. The golden rule of "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is always relevant, always appropriate, and always desirable.
Wishing you the blessing of understanding......and peace, joy and love, always.
