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
