Today's thought: A Peaceful Life.
My peaceful life begins with me. Your peaceful life begins with you. We cannot have peace within ourselves without peaceful thoughts, words, actions, and reactions. There cannot be peace within countries or between countries until its citizens have peace within themselves.
Life is like a garden. If we want to be able to pick flowers, we need to plant flower seeds, water them, nurture them, encourage them to grow. No one ever planted weeds and gathered flowers, and no one ever will. You will have peace within yourself when you plant the seeds of peaceful thoughts, peaceful words, peaceful actions and reactions.
Peace doesn't come from the outside in. It will not, one day in the future, magically happen between individuals and/or countries and then we will all live in peace. Peace begins within each of us and spreads outward towards our families, friends, neighbors, etc. If you want to live a peaceful life, you must lead a peaceful life. Where there is peace, miracles happen.
Wishing you the blessing of a peaceful life.....and joy and love, always.

Be kind.
Wednesday, August 26, 2016
Today's thought: Be kind.
Be kind to yourself. Be gentle with yourself. Treat yourself as you would treat your very best friend, and the kindness within you will grow and grow and then spill out to all others whose lives you touch. It is impossible to share with others what we do not ourselves possess.
Be kind to yourself; your health and happiness will grow. Be kind to yourself; your sense of calmness and serenity will grow. Be kind to yourself; you are a beloved child of God, worthy of kindness. Therefore, be kind to yourself.
Wishing you all the blessings nearest your heart.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Forgiveness
Tuesday, August 18, 2015
Today's thought: Forgiveness
Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves. Forgiveness, of self and of others, is essential to our emotional, mental, physical and spiritual bodies.
Anger towards ourselves or others triggers destructive chemicals to be released in the brain and circulate in the blood stream. Anger shuts the door on positive thoughts, feelings, words and actions. It is impossible to be happy when we are feeling angry, so anger shuts the door on our own happiness.
Forgiveness does not mean that we condone the words or action, forgiveness is understanding that, regardless of appearances, we are all doing the best we can at any given moment in time. It is understanding that when we know better, we will act better.
Remember the words of Jesus on the cross, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." He meant that literally.
In the 'Our Father' prayer, we speak the words, "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." We are actually telling God to forgive us only to the extent that we forgive others. A sobering thought, indeed.
It may help in moments of anger or pain, to affirm, "Thank You, God, that You hold us all in the palm of Your hand, and I am safe."
Wishing you the blessing and the gift of forgiving yourself and others.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Peace
Friday, August 14, 2015
Today's thought: Peace
I recently read, for the first time, St. Teresa's beautiful prayer for peace and want to share it with you.
"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 you the blessing of understanding to the outermost limits of your mind, heart, and soul, that we are all blessed and beloved children of God, and that everlasting happiness and peace is available to each of us when we open our hearts to the infinite love that God has for each of us.
Peace, joy, and love, always.

A greater power.
Tuesday, August 11, 2015
Today's thought: A greater power.
"A greater power knows our true need. If only you could remember the assurance made to you by the Son that your Father knows your need; that your Creator has so planned your life that only ultimate good awaits you, not ultimate pain and sorrow! You will learn in time to have faith in your Creator, for experience will teach you that good comes out of every bitter experience and that nothing is as bad as you fear."
These encouraging, comforting words are from the White Eagle book, "Further Steps on a Spiritual Path."
Wishing you the blessing of knowing, in your mind and heart, that all is working for your greater good. All of life's experiences are meant to make us more loving, peaceful, compassionate, and generous in spirit. May you always live in perfect peace, joy, and love.

Live tranquilly in God.
Friday, August 7, 2015
Today's thought is from the White Eagle book of wisdom, "The Quiet Mind."
"Live tranquilly in God. Patience really means confidence in God, knowing 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."
May the blessings of peace and tranquility live within you every moment of your lives, and may you quietly inspire others to live in peace.
Love,
Zizi

One in a million.
Wednesday, August 5, 2015
Today's thought: One in a million.
Do you remember when someone complimented you by saying that you were 'one in a million,' and how special that made you feel? Well, how special would you feel if someone said you were one in seven billion?
There are approximately seven billion people on the planet today and there is no one who is exactly like you. No one will have the same events and opportunities that you will. No one else will think as you do or have the same creativity flowing within them. No one else will have your thoughts, words, actions, and reactions and no one else will benefit from them in the same way that you do.
You are a unique and very special individual. You are one in seven billion! Be the best you can be. Live your best possible life and you will reap the rewards that are waiting just for you.
Wishing you all the blessings your heart can hold.....and peace, joy, and love, always.
