It's early Sunday morning and I am having my coffee before I go to church. It's a day in which I get to reflect upon the magnificence that Spirit is and the blessings I am so grateful to receive. Life is eternal and this physical form is just an illusion-- a journey in growth, awareness, learning. My prayer is to continue to grow in my conscious evolution to become the best human being I can be.
My prayer today is to allow my conscious awareness to be reborn and recognize the Truth of my being. I am perfectly fine exactly where I am, all is well in my world, regardless of any conditions which show up. I give thanks for all that I am learning, I give thanks for all the good in my life, I give thanks for the abundant blessings God has and continues to bestow.-- health, love, good relationships, peace, a nice place to live, a hot shower in the morning. There is SO much to be grateful for. I rest in this knowing and release all the rest. I surrender to the truth that I am fine right here and right now. And all we have is right NOW. Thank you Spirit.

Spring is in the air
It's only the first half of March, yet the weather is 70 degrees and spring is in the air. I am busy tilling the soil in my flower boxes, cleaning off my balcony and getting ready for the glorious months of spring. How I love to watch nature return from its winter's rest. How much joy I get from the birds coming to my feeder, the flowers bursting up through the earth. The splendid colors that will be lighting up my neighborhood.
Regardless of what is going on in my life, God's bounty is always present. I see it, I hear it, I smell it, I taste it and I love all of it. I feel blessed today for time to put my hands in mother earth, time to do little chores that allow me to shift my energy into the newly evolving season. Spirit is good, all the time. Today, I take the time to just notice, tune in and be grateful for just being in this human form, at this time, in this place. Life is beautiful.

As the year comes to an end
It's always amazing to me when a year comes to an end. It seems to have gone by so quickly. This has been a year of great change and challenge. While I certainly would have liked it to be easier, more peaceful and less stressful, I must say, I am grateful for all of it!
When we really reflect on our lives, we realize how abundantly blessed we really are. With all of lifes trials and challenges, it's a wonderful gift-- made to share with those we love. We must see through the eyes of love, having the faith of God, not just faith in God.
Health and love-- that is what is really important. These are the things that mean something. Everything else is a temporary illusion--
I am happy I am aware and becoming more aware each and every moment. I am grateful for the people in my life and for all the good I have. I recognize I am blessed. As the year comes to a close, the most important question is Did I love enough? I know I can do better and my only resolution is to give more love in 2012 and show it in more ways.
Thank you, God, for all my good and all my blessings. Thank you, God for all the wonderful people in my life. Thank you God for another year of health and energy to do that which I desire.
I know that 2012 is going to be the best year ever and I look forward to more and more growth, abundance and blessings.

It's hard to believe it's almost Thanksgiving. The weeks are flying by and I will soon return to my daytime job. I am so grateful for the time I have had to be home during the day. I have had time to catch up on all the things I don't always get to do: spiritual center stuff, meet up with friends, see my family, clean out and sort out at home. I am changing the energy by releasing and letting go of those things which no longer serve me.
My son's birthday is on Thanksgiving this year. I can not believe we are both a year older. Today, I am just reflecting on my life and wondering where it has all gone. Today, I pray to have many more years in this human experience. I am so grateful for my husband, my friends and all the good I have and the more which is unfolding. I feel blessed. Thank you God

Love is Forever
I lost my dear sweet kitty girl today. She was one of the loves of my life. Found on the street when she was just a baby kitten, she was so happy to have a home with me. For sixteen years, she slept with me, ate with me, followed me around, sat with me and showered me with love. I will miss her more than words can articulate.
The only solace I have is knowing I gave her a good life-- lots of love, lots of attention and lots of the food she loved to eat. In the end, she was beginning to have problems breathing and I knew she would not be with me in physical form much longer.
She will, however, always be in my heart and mind. The love we shared is forever. I'd like to think I might see her again, on the other side. My mandy girl, mommy loves you.

Life Keeps Moving Forward
Today, I am reflecting on my journey, as my birthday is this month and yet another year has ended and a new one begins. Somehow, I just can not believe I am as old as I am. Funny, I feel the same as I always did. (Thank God for that-- ) but when I see my 40 year old son, it is a reminder that I am no longer 30!
I know that part of my journey has indeed been about the wisdom I have gained, an understanding of the healing required in and by me for myself, and a true appreciation of the good in others and the good in life. I have come to one conclusion: this human experience is a gift. We must enjoy each and every moment. We can not allow the judgments of our ego to cloud over and make assumptions about anything which unfolds. Rather, we need to give thanks for ALL that unfolds. Each and every experience is FOR us, never against us. We must always quiet our minds and remember the Truth of who we are. How we see it is really up to us. When we really recognize and KNOW that there is good and more good, regardless of what it looks like, we come to a peace beyond all understanding.
Today, I am in gratitude-- for each and every step of my journey and the more which is unfolding. I recognize that how I think is up to me and I think I am blessed. I send blessings to you as well.

Surrender
An interesting experience this week. For a year, I planned on attending an annual conference of our international organization on the west coast. Being furloughed a few months ago, I was not sure I should spend the funds. But, I was provided a discount airfare ticket and decided to move forward, rather than lose the price I had already paid for the conference.
Little did I know that the ticket I received was a "stand by" ticket. Needless to say, I did not get on my intended flight. It was sold out. The airline tried to re-route my trip but after 16 hours in 2 airports, they were not able to get me to where I was supposed to go.
So, I asked to be sent back home. I was very disappointed and frustrated. If that weren't enough, my cell phone died and the airline lost my luggage. I was given the opportunity to try again 2 days later-- I declined. When we are pushing the river, it should be a signal to us, that something is not right. Life should unfold easily, effortlessly, gracefully and when it does not, we need to be aware and tune in to what is taking place.
So, home I came. After 5 days, they finally located my luggage-- thank goodness for that. I am waiting for the good in all this to be revealed to me as I know there must be some good in it. I am grateful for my ability to surrender, let it go and move on to the next adventure on the journey. It's all good, cause it's all God-- all the time. And so it is!
