Thought for the Day
More, better and different
is never more, better
or different.
It's a hamster wheel
inside of a prison cell.
It will not make you
happy, it will make you
miserable.
It is a perpetually
unsustainable way to
try to live your life.
What if you knew, beyond
all shadow of doubt,
that your life, such as it is
and such as it is not,
is not only as good as it
gets, but a miracle
beyond compare?
I mean let's get real.
It's a miracle that you are
even alive today, given some
of the thiings which you
have experienced.
How about today
we let go of all the balls
that you have been
juggling, letting them all
fall to the ground
and just live the present
version of your life,
welcomning what is,
noticing how much
there is to be grateful for?
***
Prayer For The Day
May my contribution
today to humanity
be that of a peace
not born of this world
and a joy which is
contagious.
Amen
***
10/30/2024
Thought for the Day
If I am loved no matter what
I am experiencing,
why does it matter whether
or not I am peaceful and
love and accept myself
or just do whatever I choose
to do, wild and free?
And truth be said,
it does not.
It doesn't matter a hill
of beans.
But let me ask you a question:
Are you really free when
you live at the mercy
of odds beyond your control,
happy and sad, loss and
gain, fair and not fair
and even life and death?
What of life lovingly lived
in a state of changeless peace?
As for me, peace is a priceless
treasure that I wish to feel
and embody in this lifetime.
A peace which is not of
this world and which is
your natural state.
Aside from this, it truly
does not matter what
we do because unconditional
love really and truly means
unconditional.
Beloved, you are love.
You are peace.
And one day you will
wish to abide in this world
as the Self-Sovereign being
you authentically are
because that, beloved,
is your birthright.
***
Prayer For The Day
One day at a time,
one heart beat yielding
to the next, may it be
so.
Amen
***
10/29/2024
Thought for the Day
Nothing in this world
can ease, let alone fill
the existential hole
you feel deep within
and grant you peace
other than your own
LOVE.
Nothing outside of you
is the answer to anything.
And each attempt to make
something outside of you 'it,'
will leave you feeling even
more barren and without
hope.
Who's eyes are you looking
through?
The eyes of how others see
you, how others want you
to be, or your own?
***
Prayer For The Day
May I never forget
that I am the answer
to my deepest yearning.
Amen
***
10/28/2024
Thought for the Day
You are the only authoriity
there is in this whole wide
world on what it means
to be you.
You were perfectly created
to play the role of you.
Do you trust yourself?
Do you honor yourself
by being true to what is
true for you, willing to let
the chips fall where
they may?
You owe it to yourself
to be your favorite
person in the whole wide
world.
***
Prayer For The Day
I feel so very good about
who I am.
Thank you for that GIFT.
Amen
***
10/27/2024
Thought for the Day
Bring your attention to
your breath.
Be very very still.
Do I have your full
attention?
Now. Listen carefully...
Be sure you have
your best listening ears
on for this one.
Okay?
You are not accountable
nor are you responsible for
anything that has ever
happened, is happening
or ever will happen
in the life of anyone
on this planet.
So take a deep breath
and drink in the peace
that this statement
is offering you.
Because it is entirerly
pristiine and crystal clear.
And do remind yourself
of it a million times a day
if you have to.
Your family, your religion,
the educational system,
sociiety and the world
are all counting on you
to take the blue pill.
To join the herd of the
rest of humanity.
But here's the thing,
you don't have to.
Be brave.
Take the red one.
***
Prayer For The Day
I give thanks for all of
the peace and clarity
and self-sovereignty
that fill the quiet
moments of my days.
Amen
***
10/26/2024
Thought for the Day
No ego, and what we are
talking about here is
the personal identity,
can help another ego
stop suffering.
And let's be very very clear
about this, only the ego
can suffer.
There is absolutely nothing
that is under the ego's
personal purview to do
in order to eliminate
another's pain.
This means that it is
impossible for anything
tp ever be personal.
God is the only Doer
in this world and the Director
of this production we call
life.
This gives new meaning to
the maxim to "stay in your
own lane."
This is the final illusion
we must all one day face.
***
Prayer For The Day
There is such relief
experienced when I
let go and let God.
Thank you for the GIFT
of Clear Seeing.
Amen
***
10/25/2024
Thought for the Day
This is a path of inclusion,
not exclusion.
Watch yourself carefully
today and notiice how many
times, you turn away,
change the subject, feel
yourself contract, close
yourself off, numb or
distract yourself from
what is.
Nothing to change.
Nothing to be critical
over with yourself.
But see if, rather
than turning away,
you can soften and lean
into what is with soft-
ness and acceptance.
You are not asked to like
what is hapening, nor to
actually approve of it.
But you are asked to
accept it as part of
your journey in this
life.
***
Prayer For The Day
Help me live with
radical inclusion, spacious-
ness and acceptance
today.
Amen
***
10/24/2024
Thought for the Day
This world and all religions
and spirituality operate
on a model which is
based on inherent
imperfection.
Look carefully at this today.
Look at the world.
Look at your fellow
human beings.
Then look honestly
at yourself.
We have all been brainwashed,
programmed and conditioned
into believing that who we are
and how we are is not enough,
and so we spend our entire
lives chasing after more,
better or different, hoping that
this will appease the self
contempt and inadequacy
that we all feel inside.
Precious few are the moments
in which we feel at peace
with who we are and our lives.
Are you satisfied with being
a part of that herd?
Or does your heart cry to be
told, "Rest. You need do nothing,
You are loved entirely, exactly
as you are. It is time to enjoy
the life that is yours to live,
to see how fascinating and
fulfilling it actually is to be you,
to see that ordinary is truly
extraordinary."
You decide because no one
on God's green earth can
do so but you.
***
Prayer For The Day
Yes. If I am honest with
myself, that is how I was
raiised, that is what was
modeled to me, that is
how I have lived, and
that is the foundation
upon which this world
operates.
Give me the courage to
get off of that hamster
wheel and live the sweet
life that is mine to live.
Amen
***
10/23/2024
Thought for the Day
Are you safe?
Are you a safe person
for others?
Are you a safe person
for yourself?
Do you live with
a heart open wide?
Do you provide a safe
place for anyone and
everyone to land?
Do you live and breath
PEACE?
***
Prayer For The Day
Help me slow my roll today,
carefully watching the breath,
as I dare to open this heart
wide to the real me and invite
the light that I am to step
forward and live as me.
Amen
***
10/22/2024
Thought for the Day
Nothing is personal.
Nothing is ever personal.
Why try to make it so?
That's like taking a loaded
pistol and shooting yourself
in the foot and then crying,
"it hurts!"
***
Prayer For The Day
Let me not forget that
the only real betrayal
is self-betrayal.
Amen
***
10/21/2024
Thought for the Day
Each and every time
you face something
and relax into it, opening
your heart to it and
admitting that it happened,
without contracting,
defending or making excuses
for yourself, you bring back
a lot of your power.
Power which you lost
in the creation of a personal
self, a self you became
in order to feel safe.
***
Prayer For The Day
I am ready to face
everything,
Amen
***
10/20/2024
Thought for the Day
Every reaction, no matter
how small or how large,
is rooted in the belief
of personhood.
Therefore, it cannot be
born of truth.
The Self reacts to nothing.
How could anything else
matter?
Does anything else exist?
The wise hold everything
in silence and suspension,
entirely surrendered
before that.
***
Prayer For The Day
Let today be a day
of quiet introspection.
Lead me from darkness
to light.
Amen
***
10/19/2024
Thought for the Day
First one has to work
on their relationship
with themselves.
Most of us were not
trained to have an intimate
and loving relationship
with ourselves.
We are not used to
att4ending to and nurturing
ourselves.
We then have to get to
the space and place
where we are done with
the personal self.
This pseuo-identity
no longer fits.
We feel oh-so over it.
Born of fear, it is much
too neurotic to identify
with and live as.
We are ready to drop it.
No one let's go of something
they hate and despise.
That relationship
we defend and protect,
believing that our very
lives depend on it.
But when we are ready,
fully ready, we gently let
it go.
We have no more need
of it.
It is to the Infinite we then
return, unhindered
and unbound.
***
Prayer For The Day
I consciously choose
the path with heart.
Amen
***
10/18/2024
Thought for the Day
Precious child.....
beyond the right and
wrong of it all lies
the ability to love it all.
Is it not time for you
to start to truly live?
There are no passes or
fails in life.
We are all winners.
You have not violated
anythiing, nor has anyone
else.
There are only experiences
that you were destined
to have.
You....
Life...
Everything...
....is unfolding with
precision and grace
exactly as it should.
Therefore, be at peace.
You were not called
to understand it, but
you have been called
to accept it , to fully
give your heart to it
one experience at a
time and trust.
***
Prayer For The Day
Thank you for setting
me free.
Amen
***
10/17/2024
Thought for the Day
Going through it, consciously
experiencing it, (without
judging yourself for it)
is how you complete it.
You have to experience
everything in order to be
truly free.
***
Prayer For The Day
I bow before the experience
of my life.
I am gobsmacked by how
liberating it has been,
freeing me of me.
Thank you for the GIFT.
Amen
***
10/16/2024
Thought for the Day
(1) Calm down.
(2) Watch your breath.
(3) Respond lovingly
to yourself and to all
of your life as it unfolds.
It's not rocket science.
***
Prayer For The Day
Humbly and gratefully
I bow before the isness
of my life.
Amen
***
10/15/2024
Thought for the Day
Equillibrium and harmony
are byproducts of flow,
not pushing tiyr way through
the the river of life.
Pause when it's time to pause
Flow when things start to
move again.
Respond to what is in front
of you.
Follow the energy.
That's all.
How is this difficult?
Trust.
***
Prayer For The Day
Thank you for the ease
and grace of my life.
I trust in its perfection.
Amen
***
10/14/2024
Thought for the Day
Which feels natural to you,
filled with peace and ease,
in fact, absolutely effortless?
Flowing with life
or pushing the river
in an frustrating effort
to maintain control?
***
Prayer For The Day
I consciously choose
every single bit of
my life.
...as it is.
Amen
***
10/13/2024
Thought for the Day
Free will is a comforting
delusion that only the ego
believes in and defends.
If you are always on
your soul's journey and
no one has the ability
to interfere with or change
this, how could there be
such a thing as free will?
***
Prayer for the Day
Rest and accept.
In all moments and
throughout all times
I am always standing
in the very center of
tmy perfect destiny.
Amen
***
10/12/2024
Thought for the Day
Meaning is not found in
possessions or titles, how
much money you have, how
many initials ythere are
behind your name, in either
recognition or approval.
Nor is it disovered by
how many likes you get
on your social media
posts.
Meaning and fulfillment
are byproducts of loving
being you and peacefully
embracing the life that is
yours to live, knowing
in your heart of hearts
that you wouldn't have
it any other way, even if
you could.
That your life is a truly
great life, that it fills you
with exuberant joy; which
iis ever expanding and
bubbling over.
***
Prayer for the Day
I love my life
and I love being me.
Thank you for all of it.
Amen
***
10/11/2024
Thought for the Day
A mantra is given you
today:
I am the only expert
on my life.
This isn't a punishment.
It's a promotion.
***
Prayer for the Day
The formula for life:
Soften.
Lean in.
Relax.
Open.
Bow.
Accept.
Return only Love.
Trust. Everything is
unfolding exactly
as it should.
I cannot mess it up.
Amen
***
10/10/2024
Thought for the Day
The final realization is
that in the end, the only
person in your life that
you can always count
on is you.
There is no one on
this planet that is
more qualified to live
your life and experience it
as you do than you.
Anyone else would be
lost in your shoes!
Precious child, you are
always enough,
and you were perfectly
created to live the life
that is yours to live.
Can you count on you?
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me remember
that the fact that I am
experiencing this means
that I am fully capable
of going through it.
Amen
***
10/09/2024
Thought for the Day
You keep waiting for
something profound
to happen,for some
shift that will inform
you that you are
"done" with this
spiritual thing.
But has it ever occurred
to you that it is in
everyone's best interest
for you to not be
complete?
The truth is, that you
are already & always
complete.
But you will not
recognize this, you will
not actually feel it, until
you are able to stop
trying, to stop looking
for it, and to love and
accept the you that
you are right NOW.
Profound, isn't it?
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me turn deeply
within and open
my heart completely
to all of me in every
situation or experience
I will have today.
Amen
***
10/08/2024
Thought for the Day
Each of us,, as inhabiitants of
planet earth, are products
of inconsistency.
"I am the parent, you are
the child."
"Do as I say, not as I do."
"Shut up and be grateful
that you have a job!"
"You are a sinner!"
Meanwhile the priest
harms little children and
the minister is having
an affair with a teenager
while both are closet
alcoholics.
You get the picture.
We could each cite thousands
of examples from just
our lifetimes.
But here's the thing...
Until we turn that boat
around, and start being
consistent and loving with
ourselves, we do not begin
to exeprience the abiding
peace which is our birthright.
Who says the apple has to
fall beneath the tree?
In the end, aren't you
a self-sovereign individual,
accountable to no one
but your own innermost
being?
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me be brave today,
and live by the motto
"To thine own self be true."
Amen
***
10/07/2024
Thought for the Day
In every instance you
have the option (which is
a real opportunity), to turn
within and ask for help.
You are NEVER alone.
There is ONE who lives
within your heart
who has been waiting
patiently for you to ask.
Assistance and comfort
are one earnest thought
away.
Is there a reason why
you waiit until life
has you by the short hairs
before you are willing
to consider aligning
yourself with something
other than the noise
between your ears?
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me be willing
to be all of it.
Amen
***
10/06/2024
Thought for the Day
What are you going to do?
Continue to live as a victim
of your own mind, your
emotions, your body, your
circumstances & situations,
or are you going to take
dominion over your own
inner world and live
as the self-sovereign human
being you were created
to be?
For this is the only real choice
you have to make in this life
and no one else has either
the power or the authority
to make it for you.
***
Prayer for the Day
I can see clearly now that
only self-sovereignty
and self-mastery
are the true roads to peace.
An abiding peace which
changes not.
This is the proverbial candle
that does not flicker
in the wind.
May this be my story,
my life, from here on out.
Amen
***
10/05/2024
Thought for the Day
Peace which is genuine
does not need your protection
nor your defense.
It is an inalienable right
because peace is the closest
state which describes
who and what you are
beyond emotions, mind
or body.
It is a true power to wield
in this world.
Until you can abide in it
tranquilly without needing
to protect or defend it, do so
no matter what, for here
is where you draw
your line in the sand.
***
Prayer for the Day
This is my line in the sand
I will not cross.
This is the line in the sand
I will no longer allow
anyone or anything else
to cross.
Thank you for the PEACE
that I am.
Amen
***
10/04/2024
Thought for the Day
There is the soul's vesion
of you, and then there
is the ego's version of you.
Whose voice do you think
you are listening to
when you suffer?
In every instant you have
the right to hit your
pause button and realign
yourself with True North
and welcome peace.
Don't willingly give
your power and your glory
over to anyone or anything
for any reason.
Remain the custodian of
your own inner kingdom.
***
Prayer for the Day
Thank you for making
'me' me.
Amen
***
10/03/2024
Thought for the Day
Here is your usual M.O.
You feel discomfort.
You are upset.
You are angry, frustrated,
things are kareening
out of your control,
things get messier
by the moment, your life,
the lives of others are
chaotic and you do not
know what to do.
The thought arises,
"Let me put some distance
between myself and this."
That will seem to work.
Once the irritants have
been removed from
your life, there will be
an ending to this
discomfort.
But you could do it
differently.
You could move into
your heart as you stand
in the midst of this
experience and see that
you can embrace whatever
arises and know that
you are okay and
Divine Order is
unfolding in the midst
of it all.
Peace and calm
are always available
and you become aware
of a presence.
You know that you
are not alone.
***
Prayer for the Day
Thank you for showing
me that being human
can be something
I no longer fear.
Power is emerging
from deep within
and showing me
that life is beautiful
no matter what the
experience.
I real eyes that
I am not alone.
I am never alone.
Amen
***
10/02/2024
Thought for the Day
You think that Divine Order
must mean that things
in your life feel all comfy
and cozy-like.
To the contrary, disruption
and chaos are actually
a legitimate part of
the Divine Order of things.
You are not asked to like it,
but you are asked to
open your heart to all of it.
You are being presented
with a gift that has the potential
and possiblity of opening up
the entire universe for you,
should you choose to allow it
to do so.
Therefore give it welcome.
***
Prayer for the Day
I choose ALL of the life
which is mine to live
today, and I open
my heart to all of it.
Amen
***
10/01/2024
Thought for the Day
The biggest question
to ask you is, when you
know the truth, why
are you not fully
accepting it?
I ask you to reflect on
this question today.
Because when you truly
identify the precise point
where you invalidate
yourself, that very point
is also your point of entry
into Infinity.
Recognize it.
See it for what it is.
No one is sabotaging you
but you.
What are you going to do
about it?
***
Prayer for the Day
Freedom or bust.
Amen
***
09/30/2024
Thought for the Day
Courage is the single precursor
to alignment and alignment
brings you into the state
of presence.
Alignment and presence
are therfore synonyms.
Can you choose to be
brave today?
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me be brave today.
Above everything, I choose
to conscously live
in freedom.
Amen
***
09/29/2024
Thought for the Day
Who will you be for you
when the going gets tough,
when you feel backed into
a corner or up against
a wall?
***
Prayer for the Day
Bless my efforts to be there
for me; in all states,
all conditions, and all times.
I want to always be
the perfect emotional
support person
for myself.
Amen
***
09/28/2024
Thought for the Day
So what is disruption?
Why is it necessary?
Disruption is Grace
in action.
Disruption is the UNIVERSE
turning up the volume on
what is not working in
your life, while at the same
time increasing the presence
of the LIGHT so that it is
fully recognizable by you.
Turn your attention to
the light.
It is revealing the world
you deserve because it is
aligned with your being
as opposed to the world
you have settled for,
ignoring the fact that it is
entirely inauthentic to you.
***
Prayer for the Day
My mantra for today:
I need not fear this.
I need not resist this.
Let me turn into it
and see what it is showing
me about myself
and my life.
Amen
***
09/27/2024
Thought for the Day
In the end, disruption
will unavoidably occur
in every single aspect
of yuor life that is
inauthentic to you.
If you do not wish for
this experience to feel
devastating when it
occurs, use time well now
to start getting honest
with yourseelf about
all the people, places
and things to which
you are attached
and begin to consciously
choose to let them go.
Why are you so attached?
Look honestly
and reflectively.
For this is your precious.
And it is also the grenade
in your hand wiith the pin
pulled out which you
will inevitably launch
at the agent which you
believe is the cause of
what you only think
you need is somehow
being threatened or
under attack.
Can you see now how
all of this is inauthentic
to you?
How else do you think
an ego is formed
in the first place?
***
Prayer for the Day
Take all of it.
Take every single
bit of it until
there is nothing
that stands between
me and Thee.
Amen
***
09/26/2024
Thought for the Day
Disruption and chaos
serve a mighty purpose
iin your life.
Always remember that
on some level, you are the one
who brought this into being,
Therefore welcome it.
What is happening is
furthering your evolution.
Allow it to do so.
Something is emerging
through this that could
not otherwise do so
without this disruption.
And remember that
what is being disrupted
is only the part of you
that was not sustainable.
God is your Pole Star in this
pursuit of internal alignment
wiith TRUTH.
This experience, precisely
as it is, is how Infinite
Consciousness becomes
actionable.
it is creating a beautiful
foundation for every
decision you make.
Trust.
All is well.
***
Prayer for the Day
Walking by faith
and not by sight,
the life I was born
to live rises from
the ashes of what
I once knew
and mistakenly
believed was mine.
For my tiny little
something, I have been
given everything.
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
for the GIFT.
For there are no more
edges to my loving.
Amen
***
09/25/2024
Thought for the Day
Peace is an inalienable right
that belongs to everyone
and everything, without
conditions or qualifications.
Of all the things which you
will accomplish in this life
or ever own, it, dear child,
is your most valuable
posession and single greatest
achievement if you make
it yours.
What do you value above
all things?
Be honest with yourself.
For the mind lies and
is a trickster by nature
but your heart never will.
***
Prayer for the Day
Peace, blessed peace
in every step.
Peace in every
inhalation.
Peace in every
exhaltion.
Peace flowing
from every particle
and every pore.
Peace in my comings
and goings.
Peace to all beings
everywhere in
the ten directions
and the three times.
May peace prevail
on earth.
Amen
***
09/24/2024
Thought for the Day
There is a perfection
to everything that unfolds.
No exceptions.
And there is nothing that is
more powerful than to choose
the life that we are experiencing---
choose every single detail of it,
with childlike trust, peacefully
experiencing ourselves
in the midst of everything,
***
Prayer for the Day
Just for today
I will allow myself
to experience everything
as it is whilst recognizing
that the constant is always
my Self.
Amen
***
09/23/2024
Thought for the Day
Are you a safe person for you?
Do the smallest, most fragile
parts of you trust you completely
because they know you will
always give them a safe place
to land, that you will always
have their back, that you will
always be loving, kind, gentle
and compassionate with all of
yourself no matter what?
Because if you truly do have you,
not only will you never need
anyone else ever again, but you will
never ever feel fear either
because you recognize your
own completion.
This is the pinnacle of fulfilment
of a precious human life.
***
Prayer for the Day
I thank you thank you
thank you for the life
that has been my
great good fortune
to live.
Amen
***
09/22/2024
Thought for the Day
The biggest of all addictions
is the one you have to
the present moment.
Virtually all of humanity
suffers from this addiction.
Be willing to honestly look
at all you do in order to avoid
being deeply present to
the here and now.

Prayer for the Day
Grace shed your light
upon me as I soften
and relax into the
here and now.
Amen

Thought for the Day
The greatest contribution
that you can make
to this planet and her
inhabitants is not by
greater volunteerism,
nor by taking up a
particular cause or
supporting any
political agenda.
The single greatest way
that you can be the solution
is by genuinely learning
to love yourself ever more
deeply and sharing that love
with your world.
You were born to live
as love and love will
define and refine your way
if you invite it to..
***
Prayer for the Day
LOVE live me.
Amen
***
09/20/2024
Thought for the Day
Where do you feel is the best
place to put the focus
of your attention?
Is it on what is happening
in our world today?
Or is it a reminder to seize
the opportunity to
represent the love that
that I am, that we all are?
Do you wish to join
the fear mongering
which is so rappent,
or will you real eyes that
only LOVE can turn
the tide?
***
Prayer for the Day
I am done with being
a sheeple, just following
the flock and taking sides.
No more "Point me in
the right direction, the
direction that you want
me to go."
Let me recognize that
it is my relationship with
myself that the world
is waiting for to set it
free.
Amen

09/19/2024
Thought for the Day
There is nothing that
you have ever experienced
or ever could experience
that you cannot go
through peacefully,
lovingly and in a state
of presence if that
is what you choose to do.
And this you will do
if you remain consciously
aligned with the Immortal,
Immutable Eternal Self.
Remember the soul
came here to help evolve
the human experience,
not the other way
around.
You have no control over
what happens to you
in your life, for that is
the soul's journey unfolding.
But you have total control
over how and who goes
through it.
***
Prayer for the Day
I choose my life, the life
which has been given
me to live.
All of it, exactly as it is.
And I choose to live it
consciously with my eyes
and arms wide open
and a heart which is
as big as the world.
I need not understand it.
In fact, my understanding
is irrelevant.
I am simply asked
to soften and lean into
it, knowing that I am
loved, supported fully
and the only one
who is the perfect one
to be living it.
Amen
***
09/18/2024
Thought for the Day
The only thing you have
ever lost, the only thing
that you can ever lose,
is the illusion of your
self; the things of this
world with which
you have become identified.
There is nothing
in this life to either lose,
reject or gain that is real.
Where is your trust?
Remember:
This is the soul's journey.
There is a perfection
to what is happening
that you begin to grasp
if you allow yourself
to hush long enough
to see it,
For God is always
in charge.
***
Prayer for the Day
My mantra for today
is this:
I have every reason
to be still and trust.
I am the Immortal,
Immutable, Eternal
Self and nothing
can ever change That.
This is the end of
suffering.
Amen
***
09/17/2024
Thought for the Day
The heart does not
discriminate.
Ever.
Guess what part
of you does?
LOVE is LOVE, my dear.
And it gives itself freely
and liberally without
expectations, opinions,
positionalities or conditions
of any kind to everyone
and everything.
***
Prayer for the Day
Let me not forget
that LOVE loves
with an open hand
and a boundless
heart.
Amen
***
09/16/2024
Thought for the Day
Never ever forget that
we are all always on
our soul's journey and
could not be or respond
in any way other than
how we do and are.
How could the Infinite
remain Infinite if you
or anyone else for that
matter, had the ability
to override or circumvent
the soul's plan?
And what happens to upset
when you remember
this truth?
Do you not put down
your weapons,
your beliefs,your judgments,
and relax and smile?
***
Prayer for the Day
All days are beautiful
days when I remember
to trust that all is
always well because
my soul's got this
and I'm just along
for the ride.
Amen
***
09/15/2024
Thought for the Day
Whenever you feel
uncertainty today, when
you feel bored or lonely,
discouraged or upset
for any reason and
you don't know what
to do, hit your pause
button and ask yourself,
"What is the most loving
and supportive thing
I can do for myself
right now?"
This is a noble practice
for any time and any day.
And if you remember
to ask yourself the question
just one time, you will be
shown what real happiness
looks like and feels like.
And no one can argue
with results.
***
Prayer for the Day
I am the only one
on my to-do list
for today and
I choose to really 'be'
with me.
Amen
***
09/14/2024
Thought for the Day
Beloved, I have a question
for you to reflect upon
today.
You are used to showing up
for everyone else in your life,
but when was the last time
that you actually showed up
for yourself?
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me live from
my heart today
amd do things that
reflect my tender
loving care for myself.
Amen
***
09/13/2024
Thought for the Day
Beloved, listen carefully.
There is absolutely nothing
that you have to do
in order to be loved.
And if the people in your life
expect anything from you
in order for you to receive
their love, then they
don't really love you.
What they have to offer
you will never be enough.
They cannot really love you
because they do not love
themselves.
But you, dear one,
innately have value
and are loved infinitely.
And someone who
truly loved themselves
would not put up with
any conditions which
were placed upon them
in order to prove their
value.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me real eyes
that I have nothing
to prove to anyone
and steer clear of
anyone who places
expectations on their
acceptance, approval
or care.
Amen
***
09/12/2024
Thought for the Day
How will you receive the life
that is yours to live today?
Will it be peaceful?
Or will it be toxic
and stress-filled?
Remember, this is
the only aspect of your life
in which you have
total control.
And just what that looks like
and feels like happens to be
your contribution to
humankind.
***
Prayer for the Day
I choose a conscious life.
Amen
***
09/11/2024
Thought for the Day
Let today be a day of
quiet remembrance
where we hold all whom
we have loved and do so
now closely in the light
of love.
And let that light spread
until it covers the earth
and holds everything,
including our dear planet
in its shining embrace,
gifting all with its
grace and benevolent
blessing.
***
Prayer for the Day
May all who have ever
walked this earth
be blessed.
May peace prevail
on earth.
Amen
***
09/10/2024
Thought for the Day
How hard is it to hit
your pause button
long eno0ugh to ask
yourself, "Does this
feel like freedom,
or do I catch the
unmistakable stench
of bondage and control?"
Is this the most peaceful
option available to me
right now or is it not?"
Sometimes the bravest
thing to do is to simply
say "no" and walk away.
When it comes right down
to it, life isn't so damn
difficult unless, of course,
it is your wish to make it
seem complicated.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me live a simple,
peaceful life this day,
a life which is unmarred
by my attempts to
complicate it.
Amen
***
09/09/2024
Thought for the Day
You are not broken.
You have not missed out
on anything ever
that was meant for you.
Nor have you ever
taken a wrong turn.
You deserve someone
to blow up each and
every myth and lie
this planet has brain-
washed you into
believing was true
so that you could be
told that nothing
can ever be withheld
from you, that you
have access to everything
in every moment,
including God, that you
are perfectly loveable
and completely loved.
Most importantly,
you deserve your own
loving acceptance
because the you that
you are is completely
worthy and a priceless
treasure.
You are not a problem.
You are the solution
and you were born
that way.
Truth is not nor could
it ever be elitist.
It belongs to all of us
equally.
Always has.
Always will.
***
Prayer for the Day
Please help me see
my own magnificence.
Amen
***
09/08/2024
Thought for the Day
A very common mis-
understanding has
to do with interpersonal
conflict, particularly
with those with whom
you cohabitate.
#1
The number one rule
is that it never has anything
to do with the other
person or persons,
unless you are being
physically abused.
In which case,
get out of dodge
as quickly as you can.
#2
In all other cases,
listen carefully.
It has everything
to do with the feelings
the interaction evokes
within you.
#3
Stay on your side of
the street.
#4
Take a time out and
give yourself ample space
to feel your feelings fully,
offering loving support
to yourself.
Feeling feelings cannot
harm you, but not feeling
them is why our world
is as it is.
#5
Now you are ready
to have a sane conversation
with the party or party(s)
involved.
Remember, you are not
here to win someone over.
Tje is not about
you being right,
The solution is always to
ask yourself quietly and
calmly, "What is the most
peaceful option available
to me right now?
#6
Only this could be said
to be conflict resolution.
***
Prayer for the Day
How simple would
life be if everyone
practiced this sincerely
for just one day?
Guide and support me
as I commit myself
to wholeheartedly
trying.
Amen
***
09/07/2024
Thought for the Day
No amount of effort
directed toward fixing
ourselves or changing
our lives will ever
be truly successful
or lead us to peace.
But cultivating an
unconditionally loving
relationship with ourselves
sets us forever free.
***
Prayer for the Day
I choose me
and I choose the life
that is mine to live
exactly as it is.
Amen
***
09/06/2024
Thought for the Day
The most common
misunderstanding
about our human journey
is that of the meaning of life
and it is pretty much
universal.
The misunderstanding
revolves around the idea
of evolution.
People are generally unhappy
with themselves and their
lives and so they set about
trying to change---
to improve themselves
and their lives.
When this never works
to anyone's satisfaction,
it compounds feelings
of guilt, unworthiness
and abusive self-talk:
Verbally flog yourself.
Do better. Try harder...
But we are not here to
evolve our humanity,
we are here to evolve
our relationship with
our humanity.
When we can genuinely
love ourselves, cease
judging and trying to
change who we are,
our experience of ourselves
shifts from the personal
to the universal, and we
are filled to overflowing
with genuine peace
and a love that knows
no bounds.
***
Prayer for the Day
Thank you for the peace,
the love and joy
the genuinely fills
this heart.
Amen
***
09/05/2024
Thought for the Day
The reason that people
cannot love you the way
you are, is because
they cannot love
themselves as they are
and so they project their
perceived incompletions,
expectations and misery
onto you.
But who says you have to
receive it or try to
change yourself for them?
Huh?
***
Prayer for the Day
May everyone be happy.
May everyone be free
of misery.
May no one ever be
separated from their
happiness.
May everyone take delight
in themselves and be
at peace with who
and how they are, loving
themselves completely.
Amen
***
09/04/2024
Thought for the Day
No matter how hard you try
to change yourself, to somehow
be different than you are,
you are still only and always
going to be you.
You have not managed
to change yourself.
nor can you.
No one can.
We are who and as
we are.
What has changed is
your relationship with
yourself.
This is our real work
on this planet.
And when you can love
all of yourself exactly
as you are, you will
at last be at HOME.
For you will embody
a peace which passes
all understanding
and know a happiness
which knows no bounds.
***
Prayer for the Day
I am grateful for
being me.
Amen

09/03/2024
Thought for the Day
The purpose of everything
that happens in your life
is to move you closer
and closer to your heart.
If you real eyes this,
you can cooperate
with your life, rather
than be at odds with it,
Life is on your side,
my dear...
It always has been.
It always will be.
Life wants you to succeed
in every way possible
so trust it.

Prayer for the Day
Thank you for the GIFT

09/02/2024
Thought for the Day
Be at peace with all of
the life that you have
lived.
You have always been
on your soul's journey
and it cannot be otherwise.
It is impossible to take
a misstep, wrong turn, or
miss out on anything.
Had any one of
your eperienees been
missing, you would not
be who you are today.
Have faith in the life
that you have lived
and trust the path
which is yet to be
revealed.
All is always well.

Prayer for the Day
Thank you for the life
I call mine,
Amen

09/01/2024
Thought for the Day
Speak to your soul.
Have conversations
with it.
Share how you feel.
Ask it questions.
Allow it to lead you
in the path of your
best life.
The benefits are out of
this world.
It isn't difficult to live
a life that is so bright
that you have to wear
shades.
After all, the only part
of you that is eternal
is your soul.

Prayer for the Day
Help me remember today
that my life can be sweet,
simple, loving and kind
IF I want it to be.

08/31/2024
Thought for the Day
What is the most peaceful
choice available to me
right now?
What feels genuinely
authentic to me?
Am I sovereign to no one
and no thing but me?
How can I best attend to,
support and love myself
right now?
Let these questions
walk in the space before
you today, guiding
and directing you
in the pathway of
your highest possible
destiny.

Prayer for the Day
Dearest soul:
I thank you for the path
on which you have led
me all of my days.
Amen
***
08/30/2024
Thought for the Day
You incarnated at this time
in human history in order
to usher in a new way
of what it means to be
human, and the greatest
of all enemies to
that attainment is
group think and
conformity.
What does being human
mean to you?
Reflect on this question
today and have the guts
to live your life your
way and play full out.
Not your spouse
or partner's way.
Not your family's way.
Not your children or
grandchildren's way,
nor your friends or
personal posse's way
or what you believe
your religion dictates
or the world expects
of you.
You were born to live
your best life, not someone
else's idea of that.
And you are the only one
who will ever know
just what that means.
Can you do that
just for today and see
how that feels?
Do you possess
the courage to try it on
and see how it works
out for you?
***
Prayer for the Day
Let me reflect today
on how I want to be
remembered after
my days here are earth
are complete,
And help me brave,
allowing that legacy
to walk in the space
before me, informing
and defining how
I choose to be this day
and every day from
here on out.
What else could
authenticity and
freedom mean other
than being entirely
true to what it actually
means to be me?
Amen
***
08/29/2024
Thought for the Day
The only truth there is
in this world is found
within yourself.
Time to surrender
the need to look outside
for what you hope
will fill the emptiness
and fear you feel inside.
Why?
Because peace, like
happiness and fulfillment
is an inside job.
***
Prayer for the Day
Guide me, soul,
as I strive today
to be a loving friend
to myself.
Amen
***
08/28/2024
Thought for the Day
The most exhilerating freedom
swept into my life
the moment I finally accepted
the fact that I was never
going to be good enough
for anyone else, no matter
how much I yearned to be.
On that day I also decided
that it was wonderful
being me, that I am
always good enough
for myself and for God
and that was the moment
that a palpable happiness
entered my life, a happiness
nothing could interfere with
ever again..
I found that genuinely
being myself became
the most precious
gift I could give myself
or the world.
***
Prayer for the Day
Let the focus today
be on that of
loving myself
and genuinely
being me,
Amen
***
08/27/2024
Thought for the Day
Never never never
question your value.
If the people in your life
are not seeing you
(which means they are
not seeing themselves),
it's time for you to
move on.
You are Infinitely capable
amd Infinitely valuable.
You do not need to
fit in and belong
anywhere where you
are not completely loved
and appreciated
exactly as you are.

Prayer for the Day
Grant me the courage
to break free
from everything
that is not loving,
respectful and kind.

Your soul is the deepest
part of you, and the only

The soul is the answer
to everything,
It is the natural state.

Prayer for the Day
Let me not forget that
I am Infinite Love
Infinite Light
Infinite Presence
amd the rest is the stuff
of dreams.
It will pass like gas.
Amen
***
08/25/2024
Thought for the Day
Live your best life
instead of spending
the rest of your days
living in someone
else's shadow.
For our time here
on earth is fleeting
at best, and you
cannot afford to leave
this world feeling like
you were the driving
force behind someone
else aataining their
dreams but never
pursued your own.
***
Prayer for the Day
God grant me the courage
to seize the reigns
of my own life
and live it entirely
my way.
Amen
***
08/24/2024
Thought for the Day
No one is better than
anyone else.
And no one is worse either.
No one is behind, in front
of, above or below.
We are all individuated
expressions of Universal
Consciousness or God.
Everyone is your equal,
the exact same as you.
NEVER forget that.

Prayer for the Day
Come home to my heart,
precious world!
You are loved and cherished

08/23/2024
Thought for the Day
There is no such thing as
anything that is separate.

without a second,
all a manifestation of LOVE.

Prayer for the Day
Help me remain
tethered to my breath
and my heart today
and every day.

08/22/2024
Thought for the Day
Your outer reality can
never be as important
as your inner one.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me unplug from all
external sources upon which
I have depended and plug
into my own heart,
my sanctum sanctorum.
Amen
***
08/21/2024
Thought for the Day
Be dependent on no one
and no thing for anything.
Dependency to any degree
on anyone or anything
keeps you in victim
consciousness and
undermines authenticity.
Surely yu can see this
upon reflection.
In the tabernacle
of the heart you have access
to everything.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me see clearly
that I am the only one
who has the capacity
to meet me and love
and support me
like I can.
Amen
***
08/20/2024
Thought for the Day
What you have to understand
and fully accept, meaning
feeling the truthfulnes of it,
that no person, no achieve-
ment, no acknowledgment
nor financial or material
level of security or gain
that will ever be enough
to give you either peace
or a sense of safety and
security.
Eventually everything
outside of yourself
has to fail to live up to
your expectations,
hopes and dreams.
You are what you have
always been looking for...
and that answer comes
from your own heart
and nowhere else.
***
Prayer for the Day
Guide me to my own
precious heart.
I'm done with looking
outside, done with
looking for happiness
where it does not abide.
Amen
***
08/19/2024
Thought for the Day
Peace is always available,
although it is usually
the most ignored choice
and the last of all options
sought.
***
Prayer for the Day
I choose peace.
I no longer have the energy
to tilt at windmills,
making much ado about
nothing.
May the question, "What
is the most peaceful choice
available to me right now?"
be the one question
I consistently remember
to ask when faced with
any decision today.
Amen
***
08/18/2024
Thought for the Day
Who or what
are you still selling
yourself out to?
This is an vital question
to contemplate today
as you go about the business
of living your life.
Who's voice, who's opinions,
who's advise and who's approval
mean more to you than
your own?
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me see clearly today
where I am still selling
myself short, still needing
someone else's input
other than that of my own
heart and innermost being.
Amen
***
08/17/2024
Thought for the Day
Being fully and deeply
attuned to oneself
is a full time job, requiring
the utmost tenderness, care
and attentiveness 24/7.
Who has time to be
minding someone else's
business, to be disgruntled,
feeling smug and better than,
when you have been given
the noblest of all tasks,
that of being completely
aligned and attuned
to your own heart,
ever true and in love with
the inner magnificence of
your own beautiful soul?
***
Prayer for the Day
Thank you for showing me
the way which is true
for me.
Thank you soul
for calling me home
to Thee.
Amen
***
08/16/2024
Thought for the Day
I have discovered, after
over seven decades
on this planet, and after
having achieved countless
goals, dreams and plans,
only to discover that each
left me feeling hollow
and empty inside,ever
yearning for something
different or more, that
the pearl of great price
I had always been
searching for was
myself.
When you can live every
moment of your life attuned
to your own soul, then
and only then can it be said
you have discovered
the true meaning of life,
your raison d'être.
For here is the only frontier
that matters.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me walk quietly
amidst the noise and haste
of this world, being ever
true and faithful
to my innermost being,
or soul.
Amen
***
08/15/2024
Thought for the Day
No one is responsible
for your inner experience
of life but you.
Can you not see that if
it was possible for anyone
other than you to be
responsible for your experience,
you would be sentenced
to the role of victim for life
and your freedom
would no longer rest in
your own hands?
You would have to wait upon
the whims of someone else
to show you mercy
and set you free.
How often can one count
on that?
This is what personal
empowerment means.
No one can hold you captive
and no one can set you free
but you.
And that, my dear,
is a truly beautiful
and liberating thing.
***
Prayer for the Day
Thank you for the limitless
power which is my birthright.
Amen
***
08/14/2024
Thought for the Day
You can be entirely free
of misery and suffering
if you want to be.
The ball is in your court.
The ball has always been
in your court and it
always will be.
Do you even want to be
free?
Be honest with yourself.
Becauswe asking yourself
this question and answering it
honestly is where
we have to begin.
***
Prayer for the Day
Hear me, Universe, God
or whatever powers may be.
Hear my most earnest
and heartfelt cry...
I - want - to - be - free!
Amen
***
08/13/2024
Thought for the Day
You have no control over
what will happen
in your life today, but
you have total control
over how you will
experience it.
Never forget that.
For herein lies your true
freedom and power.
***
Prayer for the Day
May I never forget that peace
is the foundational experience
of taking total responsibility
and accountability for my
inner experience of life.
Amen
***
08/12/2024
Thought for the Day
You are 100% accountable
and responsible for all
of the discomfort which
you experience.
There is always a softer
and gentler way available.
When you feel uncomfortable,
it matters not the reason,
the solution is to turn inward,
to soften and open your
entire being to the experience,
meeting yourself with
gentleness and love.
In that moment, suffering
ends.
It does not simply begin
to dissipate, it disappears
entirely.
So it is not so much a matter
of the feelings that are
the cause of your suffering
as it is the resistance
to them.
Understanding this
is what is referred to as
spiritual maturity.
***
Prayer for the Day
In every moment today,
and in every experience
each moment holds,
let me not forget
that I am responsible
for every experience
I have and open
my heart to all of it,
no matter what it is.
Am I the dissonance?
Or am I the one who
can be kind and present
to it?
This is what it means
to be entirely free,
to be the love that I am
and to live from it.
Amen
***
08/11/2024
Thought for the Day
When you are at long last
able to be with all of yourself
without judging anything
about how you are, without
trying to change yourself
or wish you were different,
when you can remain
peacefully with all of you,
seeing every part of you
as lovable and worthy,
you will no longer have
a problem with anyone else
either, nor will you be
disturbed by what is
happening in the world.
What have you yet to love
and accept about yourself?
Be willing to explore this
question today.
And remember this:
The world is more than happy
to mirror for you what
you do not like about yourself.
You do more to help this world
by remaining peacefully
and lovingly aligned within,
than you do by joining
in the cacophony of chaos
which this world generates
on a daily basis.

Prayer for the Day
Help me remain anchored
to True North today,
rather than participate
in the noise and haste
in which this world abides.
Amen

Thought for the Day
Each and every day
as well as each
and every moment
which each day holds,
you are the single
playable character
in the game you play
which you think of as
your life.
This is all that has ever
been happening.
And you are the only
determining factor
as to whether the game
you play is happy
or miserable, beatific
or the stuff of nightmares.
So play consciously.
Play mindfully.
Play wisely.
Because all you ever
have to do is look at
the nature of your
experience to see
just what you have been
up to.
***
Prayer for the Day
May I humbly walk this
world leaving no imprint,
save the indelible mark
of one who has loved
trully and deeply
with all her heart.
Amen
***
08/09/2024
Thought for the Day
Never never never
give up on you.
No relationship, no alliance,
no attainment or compromise,
no validation or approval
is worth you forsaking
yourself; nothing is worth
sacrificing or limiting
your authentic expression,
nor what is precious
and true for you.
***
Prayer for the Day
Grant me the courage
to always follow
my heart, being ever
faithful and true to
its instruction and guid-
ance no matter what.
Amen
***
08/08/2024
Thought for the Day
There is absolutely nothing
on this planet that is
more important to me
than empowering you
fully in yourself.
You are a sovereign being
and no one has the right
to try to tell you
what is right
for you.
Nor can they tell you
how to be you or do you.
Only you have the ability
to follow your own heart.
And anyone who tries
to tell youhow you should be
living or what you should do
can stick it where
the sun don't shine.
Got that?
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me real eyes
that the only thing
the world needs from me
is my willingness
to authentically be myself;
my willingness to
share that GIFT with
my world.
Amen
***
08/07/2024
Thought for the Day
FREEDOM is the radical
and revolutionary GIFT
of no longer needing
anyone's love and approval,
appreciation or validation
ever again.
How is this possible, you ask?
Because you are your own
completion.
You are already and always
whole.
Nothing can add to that
wholeness, which is
a constant and changeless
experience.
Nothing can ever subract
from it either.
What could possibly
influence your magnificance?
No one and no thing
can ever ruffle the feathers
of someone who embodies
all of that.
***
Prayer for the Day
Grant me the courage
to never ever
give up on me.
For I am worth it.
Amen
***
08/06/2024
Thought for the Day
Who gave you that internal
compass that tells you
something is right or wrong,
that you are right
or you are wrong?
What if nothing was right?
And what if everything was right?
Oh...here's a good one...
What if nothing is ever
truly wrong?
Who made up these rules,
who decided this is good
and that is bad, anyway?
What if, passed down
one generation to the next,
we have all been fed a lot
of lies in order to control us,
hoodwinked into believing
things that really do not
really help humanity evolve?
Beliefs that, to the contrary,
keep us separate from one
another, judging,others,
hating and afraid?
But what if we came here
to have experiences
and that is all each of us
have been up to since the day
we were born?
Who says that some
are right?
And who has the power
to tell you that some
are wrong?
What if they are all okay,
all legitimate experiences?
And what if, just for today,
you gave yourself complete
permission to have whatever
experience you are having
and to hell with what
anyone else has to say
about it?
What if we were to choose
to simply and humbly
love and support ourselves
in the midst of every
experience?
What if I was to accept
the fact that I have a lot of
hand-me-down beliefs
and just because I have
been brainwashed into
believing them to be true
does not in fact make
any of them actually true?
Well, that has the potential
of being a banner day,
don't you think?
And what if I were to give
the entire world a day off
and stopped snubbing my
nose at others, just giving
all of us permission to be
ourselves with no thought
of recrimination or
retribution of any kind?
Now that's an idea that
has the potential to
set the world ablaze.
***
Prayer for the Day
Let me sincerely and
lovingly try this practice
and just be willing to see
what happens when I do.
I am a results oriented
kind of person.
Today I will let
the results speak
for themselves.
Amen
***
08/05/2024
Thought for the Day
Here is the simplest of all
truths...
Your life is only as peaceful,
wonderful, fulfilling,
gentle and kind as you
will allow it to be.
Nobody is capable of
loving you more than
they love themselves.
And you are not capable
of loving anyone else more
than you love yourself.
Your world is as you are.
It will always be a perfect
reflection of how you
experience yourself.
If you loathe yourself,
if you pick at yourself
and judge everything you
feel, think, say or do,
this is the world which will be
unceasingly mirrored
back to you.
A world that validates
your unworthiness, no
matter what you do
or how hard you try.
And if you love yourself,
the world cannot help
but show you loving-
kindness in return.
***
Prayer for the Day
It's absolutely positively
wonderful to be me.
Just sayin'...
I am pretty darn wonderful,
and I do not need anyone
or anything to validate
this for me.
I am my own completion.
Nothing can add to this
life I call mine, and nothing
can subtract from it.
And I wouldn't have it
any other way.
Thank you for the GIFT.
Amen
***
08/04/2024
Thought for the Day
True awakening or liberation
is not about never losing
the thread of acceptance
ever again, it is about
having the courage
to get back up again
each time and every time
you see what you have
been up to.
It is about recognizing that
every feeling, every thought,
every sensation, every situation
or circumstance that
you find yourself in is all
a part of the soul's journey;
that there is nothing wrong,
that there could be nothing
wrong, ever.
This is what it means
to see clearly.
This is what it means to
truly trust the life which
is yours to live.
This is the path of the heart;
genuine, loving acceptance
of the journey which has been
specifically engineered
for you by God.
For yours is the noble work
of bringing light to your world,
one very human experience
at a time.
***
Prayer for the Day
How wonderful would life be
if just for one day
I could accept and trust
my journey that much?
Grace shine upon me
for I choose the life
which is mine to live.
Amen
***
08/03/2024
Thought for the Day
What could be more validating,
more life affirming, than to
respect & cherish the face
you see shining back at you
in the mirror each and every
day?
Whose love, acceptance
and respect coule mean
more to you than that?
No one will ever be able
to love and approve of you
more than they love
and approve of themselves.
What they think about you
is never about you.
It is a rather telling revelation
of how they feel about
themselves on the deepest
of levels and what
they have not accepted
nor embraced within.
This is a very high realization
that frees you of the need
to care so much about
other people's opinions
of you.
It is also a reminder that
this is a realization that
applies to you too.
For you cannot love anyone
or anything more than you love
yourself.
Thus, your reactions
are always a call for you
to look deeply into
what you have not yet
loved and embraced
about yourself.
***
Prayer for the Day
To hell with the peanut
gallery, you got that?
I have wasted so much
life force assigning value
to the steady stream of
caca betwwen my own
two ears.
Come what may, it is
to myself I shall be true
to my very last breath,
ever loving the one
I am with which is
always myself.
And since everyone
and everything is
a perfect reflection
of me, I got a whole
of loving to catch up
on from here on out.
Amen
***
08/02/2024
Thought for the Day
What is it that keeps you
trapped in a life which
is not genuinely and
authentically your own?
Is it worth it?
Can you ever hope to be
happy when everything
you feel, everything you
think, everything you say
and everything you do
has been and is for
someone other than
yourself?
You have been running away
from you, my dear,
and you know it.
Whose approval do you
actually need other than
your own?
Is getting along worth
the self-betrayal in which
you have to engage
in order to have it?
Is fitting in and belonging
or having someone
to take care of you
and provide security
worth the price you
have to pay in order
to have it?
The so-called peace
which is a byproduct of
Out of sight, out of mind
is not true peace.
Do you really think that
you can achieve
what you say you want
when what you have done
is sought to escape
the very life God placed
you in?
Yes. You were supposed
to make this choice.
But you were also supposed
to make course corrections
once you clearly saw what
you have done.
You know this.
Every day your heart speaks
these words of wisdom
to you.
Wouldn't you like to get
to know who you are
through the lens of love,
rather than the pain body
of a world that knows not
who they are?
Because numbing, dulling
and distracting
is not proof of anything
other than that
the old familiar m.o.
of running away from
yourself has struck
once again.
***
Prayer for the Day
I am ready to get to know
the "I" that I truly am.
My life is the perfect guru.
Help me feel deeply
into that, bringing presence
to every present moment
experience.
Amen
***
08/01/2024
Thought for the Day
Who are you?
If you take away the past,
and you take away the
narrative or storyline,
if you take away the pro-
gramming and the condi-
tioning, if you take away
all the expectations you
have placed upon
yourself and others
have placed upon you,
as well as what others
need from you,
what is left?
What is the pure
and unadulterated you?
Is there anything at all leftover
that can be said to be
genuinely you?
***
Prayer for the Day
Sometimes there is such
a profound moment of
clarity where it is clearly
seen that there is no thing
which can be said to be
me afterall.
And in those blessed
moments of realization
there is so much peace,
peace when I am free
of everything that once
kept me in chains
to everyone
and everything.
Grant me the grace
to live my life
in such freedom.
For I would know that true "I"
which created all that is.
And until then,
I am content to be
this pair of eyes
moving through time
and space, the silent
witness to everything.
Amen
***
07/31/2024
Thought for the Day
Your life is so wrapped up in
rules and expectations, what you
think others need or demand
or you, your own puffed up
sense of what the ego's advise
legitimately has to offer
(aka spiritual arrogance)
or what you think of as
your duly.
But truth be told, the only one
you owe anything is yourself.
And that is a debt of LOVE,
my dear, not an obligation.
Nothing more than that.
Have you ever done anything
in your entire life
that was entirely for you?
That you know that you know
that you know is not born of
any one else's demands
or vain imaginings?
***
Prayer for the Day
Just one day...
One single day wherein
I listen deeply to my own heart
with total attentiveness.
For I would know that
I am following
my own path of redemption,
and not someone else's
rules and expectations.
To Thine Own Self Be True
to the very end, please.
For I know that
this is the only path
the soul wishes for me.
Amen
***
07/30/2024
Thought for the Day
Pssst... Yes, you.
I'm talking to you, my dear.
Every single part of you
is beautiful exactly as
you are.
I don't have a problem
with any part of you
whatsoever.
Anyone who does have
a problem with you
does so because
they have a problem
with themselves.
And you choosing to
stick around fans the flame
of their inexcusable
behavior.
Time to walk away.
You don't need their
self-doubt, self-judgment,
mean-spiritedness
and put-downs.
Unless, of course,
you actually enjoy being
a pawn in their twisted
game of cruelty
and perversion.
You play martyr
and whipping post
to no one.
Got that?
***
Prayer for the Day
The unspoken mantra
for today is simply this:
"I believe this is yours."
Then quietly side-step it
and walk away.
God grant me the courage
to recognize who is
the rightful owner, returning
it to where it truly belongs,
Amen
***
07/29/2024
Thought for the Day
The parts of you that
you struggle most with,
the parts of you that
you have struggled
to embrace with love
are nemesis to you
because someone told you,
and did so repeatedly,
they were wrong, that they
needed to change, to
be different.
They did not show you
that they, too, were
utterly and completely
worthy of your loving
embrace, exactly as they are,
and by thus return them
to light.
Judgment is not inherent
to your nature, dear one.
It's a hand-me-down from
people who could not
love themselves and so
what did they do?
They projected their
perceived limitations
onto you and you
accepted this burden,
believing it was true.
But it's a lie, beloved.
Every disenfranchised
part of you deserves
your recognition
and loving acceptance.
Welcome everything home
today, welcome everything
home.
***
Prayer for the Day
The time has come
for me to begin to love
all the parts of me
that I have been
programmed to reject.
Help me remember
to hit my pause button
today each and every time
I catch myself being
anything other than
loving and gentle
with me.
Amen
***
07/28/2024
Thought for the Day
Who are you?
Why are you here?
What is the meaning
of life?
You came here to love
all the parts of you
that you have been
programmed and
conditioned by
your world to reject.
Pure and simple,
you came here
in order to cultivate
an unconditional
relationship
with all of you.
Not as you wish you were.
Not as others want you
to be.
But as you are, beloved.
How do you think that
your day would go
if just for today
you chose to
love yourself
unconditionally
no matter how
you happen to
show up?
The final realization
is that no way that
you are or could
ever possibly be
disqualifies you from
receiving your own
loving-kindness
and acceptance.
You did not come here
to change yourself,
bo somehow be more,
better or different.
You came here to learn
to love and accept all
of you as you are,
and that is the work of
a lifetime.
***
Prayer for the Day
If to teach means to
demonstrate, then let
my life be a demonstration
of loving all of myself
exactly as I am.
And help me be patient
with myself, realizing
that I will never be done
with the work of loving
me.
Amen
***
07/27/2024
Thought for the Day
You are always, at all times
and in all ways, fundamentally
perfect.
You could not be anymore
perfect than you are, right now
as you are, beloved.
There is no one in the entire
universe who can do you
and be you with the same
perfection and flare that
you bring to life each
and every moment.
You are the perfect you.
And you came here in order
to learn to love every single
part of yourself exactly
as you are.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me real eyes that
my real work in this life
is to learn to be
unconditionally loving
to each and every
part of myself, welcoming
it back to light, welcoming
it back to the arms
of love.
I am always worthy
of all my tenderness
exactly as I am.
Amen
***
07/26/2024
Thought for the Day
Is something not flowing
in the way that you think
it should?
Are you finding yourself
being reactive and then
judging yourself for it?
Perhaps it is time to consider
that since we are always
on the soul's journey,
that this reaction, precisely as
you are experiencing it,
is a part of the perfection,
and acceptance and trust
are the keys to your peace.
This is how you create separation:
By failing to include yourself
as you are as part of
the ever unfolding perfection
that is and always is.
There is nothing wrong with you,
beloved.
Every response, every reaction
is perfect, as the Grand Designer
of ALL designed.
There is no problem with
anyone or anything else
for that matter as well.
How can there be if God
is the ONE in charge?
Not one particle of anything
needs to be different
than it is.
And this is the how and the why
acceptance, radical unequivocal
acceptance, is the key that
unlocks the door to everything.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me real eyes that
there is no way I could ever be,
no way I could ever react or
resond that would make me
unworthybof my own
loving-kindness.
And if it is true for me,
it is true for everyone
and everything that is.
Amen
***
07/25/2024
Thought for the Day
You are the source of
your own deepest,
morst fervent, longing.
You are the actual
home of the Beloved,
my dear.
Isn't it high time
you got to know
WHO it is that you
have been living
with all of your life?
I do.
I promise, you will
not want for anything
ever again.
***
Prayer for the Day
What could anyone
or anything add
to who I am when
I am everything
I have always
yearned for?
And who, pray tell,
actually has the power
to subtract from it?
No one.
I may think that this
is possible, but in truth,
this could only be
a possibility in fevered
and vain imaginings.
I am done with journeys
which go nowhere
and lead to no thing.
Today, I begin the most
sacred of all journeys:
that of getting to know
the one who resides
in the tabernacle
of my heart of hearts.
Amen
***
07/24/2024
Thought for the Day
LOVE is the only changeless
thing in this entire universe.
Every other pursuit is wasted
time, energy, resources
and breath.
Why do you bother so?
If you cannot take it with you
when your time on earth
is done, then why, pray tell,
are you investing in things
that have no eternal sig-
nificance and therefore
do not really matter?
***
Prayer for the Day
Oh, heart, oh blessed
blessed heart.
Thank you for loving
me almost more than
I can bear.
Amen
***
07/23/2024
Thought for the Day
There was no other intention
in your creation than that
you live a happy and
fulfilled life which you love.
This was architected into
your design, beloved.
And if this is not the case,
if this is not your life that
I am describing, then it is
high time you did
something about it,
don't you think?
Come home to the natural
state, a peaceful & present
state of being, where you
real eyes that nothing can add
to your experience of yourself
and nothing can subtract
from it.
You are the perfect 'you'
for every time and ocassion.
every space and place.
***
Prayer for the Day
Show me how to share
ever more the peace
in which this heart
now abides.
Amen
***
07/22/2024
Thought for the Day
You know that you know
that you know you are
free when you want
nothing from anyone
or anything outside of
yourself.
And you want nothing
because you real eyes that
they are incapable of giving
you what you think that
you need from them.
It is no one's fault for being
100% unequal to the task
which has always been
yours in the first place.
***
Prayer for the Day
Thank you world for never
being able to love
and accept me as only
I can.
You were the catalyst
that made me see
how deeply I was dependent
upon so many sources
outside of myself and inspired
the most profound journey
of all---the journey within.
Amen
***
07/21/2024
Thought for the Day
No one on this entire planet
is capable of having
the degree of intimacy,
love and acceptance of you,
the longing to actually be
with you for which you crave,
beloved.
No one.
And the sooner you can
accept this, the sooner
the need will fall away.
They cannot because they
are not you.
You are the only one with
the degree of intimacy
and first hand knowledge
of you that you have
every single moment
of your life.
No one is capable of uunder-
standing you like you
understand you.
Who could ever get you
like you get you?
Once you real eyes that you
have spent your entire life
barking up the wrong tree,
you are free.
This is the end of your seeking
for approval and love
outside of yourself.
Now begins the incredible
journey of falling in love
with yourself.
***
Prayer for the Day
Today I relinquish the
expectations I have placed
on those closest to me.
Today I get it.
Anywhere where there is
an expectation of any kind,
there is suffering.
I have been looking for
something from others
that they are incapable
of giving.
I am the only one who can
love and accept me
like I can.
Today, I source my love,
approval and acceptance
from me.
Today, I source my love,
approval and acceptance
from God.
And so it is.
Amen
***
07/20/2024
Thought for the Day
What do you bring
to life each day?
Is it the energy of liberation,
of exhilarating FREEDOM
and boundless joy?
Or are you part of the madness
which plagues this field
of dreams?
***
Prayer for the Day
The heart is so full
and so expansive,
so filled to overflowing
with LOVE that tears
stream from the eyes
most of the time these
days.
Everything is so precious
and dear...so delicate..
so fragile..yearning
to be held and told that
it is okay...that it is safe
with you.
May this be the constant GiFT
I bring to every moment
of my life.
Amen
***
07/19/2024
Thought for the Day
I do not write these thoughts
and prayers each day
for you.
I write them for myself.
I have always written them
for myself.
The commitment, consistency
and repetition with which
I have applied myself each day
for the past 28 years has cultivated
within me a discipline as natural
as that of breathing.
I now know a level of self-mastery
I would never have found had I nor
made the decision tp be
acountable every single day,
rain or shine, easy days or
challenging days, and even
when I was in the hospital.
There have been no exceptions,
and this conscious choice
has given me the very life
I always yearned for
with all of my heart.
What is the life of which
I speak?
To be utterly and unequivocally
FREE.
This is what it means to be
willing to go to any lengths.
Have you ever wanted anything
that much in your entire life?
I am not saying that any objective
takes 30 years to master.
But I am saying that it takes
the willingness to never give up,
to pick yourself up when you fall
and comfort yourself, to adovacate
completely every single day
for what you want until
the goal becomes your absolute
reality.
***
Prayer for the Day
FREEDOM is not really
something one can talk
about.
You either are or you are not.
Your own experience
reveals what is true
for you.
May FREEDOM be
the only energy that
I bring each day
to the banquet table
of life.
No religion.
No politics.
No opinions.
No judgments.
Just simple freedom
and a love which knows
no bounds.
Amen
***
07/18/2024
Thought for the Day
Here's a novel idea:
What if you never ever
needed anyone
ever again?
What if you felt complete
within yourself 24/7,
in need of no one and
no thing?
What if the relationships
you did participate in
were because you chose
to be in them, and you
chose to be in them
because you both were
coming from a place
of wholeness?
And what if you lived in
such an unshakable state
of peace that nothing
could ever touch it, let
alone, interfere with it?
How could what happens
to you from that point forward
matter to you ever again?
Now that's FREEDOM.
***
Prayer for the Day
May the epitaph read:
Although she walked
in this world, she
was not of it.
Amen
***
07/17/2024
Thought for the Day
I want you to be throughly
unshakable in the FREEDOM
you experience each and
every day.
Can the loss of that which
produces suffering,
changability & uncertainty
ever really be counted
as a deficit, something
of value now gone
over which you grieve
and pine in misery
and devastation?
***
Prayer for the Day
Free of all of it.
That's what I want.
Hear my ' yes.'
I am ready to walk on
water.
Amen
***
07/16/2024
Thought for the Day
You are an emancipated being
beloved, and you always
have been.
No one has the power
to place you in bondage,
no one but you.
We are talking inner FREEDOM
or inner bondage here.
For true FREEDOM
is always an inside job.
Ask Viktor Frankl, Etty
Hillesom or any other human
being who found FREEDOM
in Auschwitz of all places.
You cannot actually imprison
yourself, only believe that you
can be imprisoned.
And a belief has no more power
than the power you give it.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me pay close attention
to every experience today,
noting what feels free to me
and what wreaks of bondage.
And let me embrace the former
and be brave enough
to walk away from the latter.
May I never ever forget
that I was born to fly, and soar
I will... with all the passion and
magnificence in which
I was created.
Amen
***
07/15/2024
Thought for the Day
Everything is always helpful.
No exceptions.
Can you embrace that?
***
Prayer for the Day
Today I bow inwardly
before every experience
so help me God.
Amen
***
07/14/2024
Thought for the Day
What then is FREEDOM?
I don't know about you,
but since I was a very small
child, I have longed for freedom,
though I knew not what
it was, only what
it wasn't.
It wasn't riding an emotional
roller coaster, feeling either
afraid or angry more often
than not.
And it wasn't hating myself,
wishing either myself
or someone else were dead.
I knew that much.
But in the end, what I discovered
was that FREEDOM is an abiding
state of radical acceptance,
the willingness to bow before
every experience in recognition
that everything that happens,
everything that is felt,
contributes to your wholeness
because everything longs
to return to its infinite state
which is love, love and more
LOVE.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me recognize that
I need not understand or
engage with any experience,
whether I consider it to be
inner or outer ever again.
I need only accept it,offering
myself loving-kindness
in the midst of every what is.
Amen
***
07/13/2024
Thought for the Day
The most powerful of all
practices is the willingness
to bow before each and
every experience
with complete acceptance,
embracing the isness
of your life, offering nothing
your resistance, trusting
fully in what is as it is.
Here you know that
it that does not matter
whether or not
any particular experience
feels inner or outer,
because you begin to recognize
that every experience
is always inner.
It is always about you
facing, responding to and
loving and supporting
yourself in the midst of
what is happening.
It is the humble acceptance
that you are always on
your soul's journey
and you cannot be
otherwise.
You remember at all times that
what you are experiencing
is what you chose to experience
before time was born and so
you lean into it with childlike
faith and acceptance.
This is what it means to be
a stream enterer and live
in the unceasing flow of grace.
***
Prayer for the Day
Today I bow before
what is and trust.
My mantra for the day is thus:
"This is helping facilitate
the awakening of the world!"
Amen
***
07/12/2024
Thought for the Day
Why do you feel you are here?
Is there any point to
your human life?
You cannot afford to wait
until you are on your death bed
to begin to explore these
questions.
You have no guarantee
that you will still be here
tomorrow.
No one us does.
Do not leave this earth
without having fully explored
to your satisfaction
the meaning and purpose
of your life, having
become peacefully aligned
with your own True North.
This is your job.
No one can do this for you,
nor is any one else either
capable or worthy of
telling you what is true
for you, beloved.
To do anything less than this
is a wasted life, and none of us
has that luxury.
And could that ever really
content anyone who has a heart
as big as yours?
***
Prayer for the Day
May I bring the changeless
state of presence
to the banquet table
of my life.
Amen
***
07/11/2024
Thought for the Day
Do you real eyes that
there is no such thing
as your soul and my soul,
there is only the soul?
The same soul which
abides changelessly in you
does so in all things
manifest.
It abides lovingly in
Jeffry Dahmer, Adolph Hitler,
the son of Sam, Mother Theresa
and Jesus or Buddha or
Zarathushtra.
And there is nothing you have
ever done, nothing which
you are presently doing
or ever will do that can
change that.
All of which begs the question,
"so why bother with spiritual
pursuits at all then?"
The reason is simple.
Because you came here to
evolve the human experience,
beloved.
And as such, you came
to be the light of the world.
***
Prayer for the Day
I choose to live
a fully conscious life.
Only a conscious life
is free of spurious tail
chasing.
Besides, I choose to be
the light of the world,
and how does one do this
asleep at the wheel?
I choose to be a love
which knows no bounds,
no limitations and no
judgments of any kind.
Amen
***
07/10/2024
Thought for the Day
Everything everything everything
is a manifestation of the same
LIGHT, the same LOVE,
the same PRESENCE.
No exceptions, beloved.
No exceptions. Ever.
Regardless of what you
have done.
Regardless of what you
are currently doing.
Regardless of what has been
done to you.
Your soul came here in order
to evolve the human experience.
It is not the other way around.
And some of us....
Some of us...
Some of us actually incarnated
at this particular time i
n human history in order to
usher in a New Earth,
a new version of what
it means to be human.
In that, we represent
the first wave, the first
receivers of the GIFT
of truth.
Are you the ONE that
I have waited my etnre
life for?
***
Prayer for the Day
I thank you for the life
which is my great good
fortune to happen to be
living because it is an
awesome life to live,
the perfect life for me.
Amen
***
07/09/2024
Thought for the Day
It takes a profound level
of courage as well as trust
to allow yourself to be
exactly as you are
at all times in recognition
that who you are
and how you are
is not a limitation at all.
It is not a form of self-sabotage,
nor can it ever be lacking in
integrity.
Why?
Because you are always
at all times on the soul's
journey, beloved.
And that means how you
are is how you are supposed
to be and what is happening
is what is meant to be
happening.
Who, on God's green earth,
actually has the power
or authority to override God?
Thus, to love yourself means
to give yourself permission
to fully be the human being
that you are without
judgment, without criticism
and without reservation.
And genuinely loving yourself
is the entry point into a true
and changless state of peace,
an abiding state of FREEDOM.
***
Prayer for the Day
Why would I ever listen
to the propaganda machine
of this world ever again
when all the world
will ever tell me is that
I am not enough?
You did it wrong.
You should be more ________ .
Why didn't you ___________ ?
I give thanks that
truth is established within,
never without, and you,
dear soul, are the only
True Authority.
Amen
***
07/08/2024
Thought for the Day
The most beautiful of all days
is the one where you wake up
and you realize, for the first
time in your life, that you
feel so much peace
and so much joy that
a new and rather gobsmacking
thought arises:
Nothing...nothing...nothing...
of this mind, of the body or
this world can change
my inner experience of life
ever again.
Now that's FREEDOM.
Pressed down, shaken together
and running over...a freedom
which embraces everyone
and everything without
hesitation...without reservation...
and without limitation.
***
Prayer for the Day
How fortunate I am!
Thank you for the GIFT
which is my life.
Amen
***
07/07/2024
Thought for the Day
Everything you bathe in love
dissolves and merges
with you.
How is this?
Because everything
is looking for redemption
and love is the only thing
which heals all.
People refer to it by
a thousand times
ten thousand different
names, but in the end,
this is what everyone
is looking for.
Love, dear one, is
the only truly redemptive
causative agent in the
entire universe.
***
Prayer for the Day
Come home!
Come home to my heart
where I promise to meet you
with open arms, tenderness
and total acceptance.
Amen
***
07/06/2024
Thought for the Day
Awakening is a transcendent
experience of LOVE
which shatters the illusion
of you, the illusion of
a separate self.
That's when the gig is
finally and unequivocally up.
***
Prayer for the Day
Let me open this heart
without reserve
to nothing short of
everything today.
I will step back...
and back... and back..
until there is no 'me.'
and let the light
lead the way.
Amen
***
07/05/2024
Thought for the Day
What have you deemed to be
unlovable within?
Whom have you judged
to be unworthy?
***
Prayer for the Day
Today the practice is to
notice, in the moment,
what oe whom I am
denying my love and to
tendery and unabashedly
love it, as it is.
Bless my practicing today.
Amen
***
07/04/2024
Thought for the Day
When you actually get
right down to it, all
the ego really is, is
a non-inclusive state
to which you have given
an 'i' or personal identity;
and supplied it with
a first person narrative
or storyline.
***
Prayer for the Day
Who am I without the pomp
and circumstance?
Let me consciously
give myself permission
to fall into that.
Amen
***
07/03/2024
Thought for the Day
Why are you listening to
and absorbing the voices
of so many other people,
allowing them to disctate
how you feel?
[Let's name some of
the big one off, shall we?
your parents
your sibling(s)
your partner
your children
your grandchildren
the media
politicians
your boss
your co-workers
your friends
your enemies
the medical system
the educational system
And then there's the mind...
Why are you listening
to it?
[The peanut gallery between
your own two ears.]
Why are you listening to
everyone or everything
other than your own heart
to tell you what is true
for you?
Beloved, there is no other
Authority other than what
your own beating heart
tells you; naked of all the
propaganda the world
tries to feed you each
and every day.
To Thine Own Self Be True.
***
Prayer for the Day
Well that's clearer than clear---
how we give our power
away and how we take it
all back.
I know now where my
peace resides and it is
there I will abide.
Everyone else (including
the nut case between
my own two ears)
can take a long walk
off of a very short pier.
Amen
***
07/02/2024
Thought for the Day
All about you, day after day,
week after week and year
after year, you see people
all around you who are not
happy, who are on edge;
resrless, irritable and discon-
tent, who do not know peace.
Ploughing their way
through life, merely existing
but never really counted
among the living, desperate
and miserable, passing the night
with restless and disturbing
dreams...waking up and still
exhausted...before they begin
the same thing all over again.
Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
Which do you feel is more
helpful?
Which do you suppose
would be more beneficial
to you?
Which the more crucial
to our world?
To blather on and on about
what ails this planet, our words
grating like fingernails on
a chalkboard, or to be a living
example of embodied peace?
Possessing a peace and
a stillness n the very midst of
this life, in the midst of
the endless sham and
clueless misery which
surrounds us day after
miserable day?
***
Prayer for the Day
Am I part of the problem
or am I the embodied
solution?
Let me reflect on these
things.
Amen
***
07/01/2024
Thought for the Day
Who have you still been
holding hostage in
your mind?
What have you still been
giving rent-free-space
between your two ears?
Can you not see that
you are jailer, jail cell
as well as hostage
when you hang on
to suffering, when you
harbor a grievance,
and the price you pay
is your own freedom
and happiness?
And can you not also see
that all the experiences
you have ever had
have led you to who
you are now?
That without them,
you would not be you?
In this sense, everything
is always a GIFT.
Let nothing cling to you,
my dear.
No one and nothing
is worth it, and no one
and nothing deserves
to have power over you
save you.
Only that could be said
to be true self-sovereignty
and agency.
Nothing short of that.
***
Prayer for the Day
May I never forget that
I am a powerful being
of love and light
and no one can take
my power from me
but me.
I have to willingly give
it up.
And for what?
A petty grievance?
Why would I ever
choose to give away
my inheritance
so arbitrarily?
Amen
***
06/30/2024
Thought for the Day
Who have you given the authority
to mess with your jam,
to disturb your peace, to rile
you up, and cause
you to have a bad day?
Should anyone on this planet
have that power but you?
From this perspective
you can see that there are
no real victims, only volunteers.
Sure. Someone can harm the body.
That is the extent of what they
actually have the power to do.
But only you have the power
to decide what your inner world
feels like.
This isn't about you trying to
justify you feelings.
This is about you maintaining
complete agency and sovereignty
over your inner world.
And that, my dear, is the one
difference between heaven
and hell, a conscious life
and an unconscious one.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me clearly see
that there is no such thing
as a situation or circumstance
in which FREEDOM
and PEACE are not
available to me.
I DECIDE WHAT MY
INNER WORLD
IS GOING TO BE.
Help me choose wisely,
for I would live my life
peacefully and free.
Amen
***
06/29/2024
Thought for the Day
Which of the following
experiences do you feel
anchor you in an abiding
state of peace?
Acceptance or resistance?
Trust, or railing and ranting
against what is?
You are a sovereign being
with complete autonomy
and inner agency.
No one gets to decide what
your inner world looks like
and feels like but you.
Never forget this.
Discountenance or
peacefulness is your choice.
You, dear one, are the single
determining factor
of the day that
you will experience today.
Will an gentleness and
quietude hold all things
in trust, or will unsatis-
factoriness rule your day?
***
Prayer for the Day
No one's gonna change
my world.
Today I rest in peace.
Amen
***
06/28/2024
Thought for the Day
Why is that we, as a species,
waste 99% of our time, effort,
energy and resources on things
that do not really matter
in the scope of eternity?
***
Prayer for the Day
Busy busy busy
and with what?
Just what do I have to show
for all the plates I have had
and am currently spiining?
I may be richer in the pocket
book, but I am poor of
spirit.
I may have gained some
of the acceptance, approval
and praise from others
that I craved, but I have left
my own love of self
abandoned in
the dust.
This heart weeps when it sees
how much self-abandonment
I have engaged with in this life.
May the focus today
be on merging with what is
with an open heart,
deep love and
self-acceptance
as I am.
May I be good enough
for me and say to hell
to those who want me to
keep on running on that
hamster wheel we call life.
Amen
***
06/27/2024
Thought for the Day
If you can talk about it,
ithen t is not it.
But you do feel it
when you experience it
and no one can argue
with what is
your direct experience.
Who cares if anyone else
sees you?
You did not come here
for other people.
You came here to real eyes
the Self or God.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me stay in my own
lane today, with my attention
on naught but my own
direct experience, leaving
others to their own soul's
perfect jjourney for them,
which happens to be none
of my business.
Amen
***
06/26/2024
Thought for the Day
Do you recognize
the difference between
someone who talks a lot
about the truth
and someone who says
nothing, yet quietly lives
their lives as an
embodiment of it?
Can you feel when
you are in the presence of
someone who lives from
the radiant transparency
of authentic being?
What do you notice?
What's it like?
***
Prayer for the Day
I choose to live
from the space and place
of peaceful presence
for what remains
of this life.
Amen
***
06/25/2024
Thought for the Day
What could be better than
to be in a state of complete
peace in your own skin,
at peace with humanity,
at peace with not only
your world, but the world
at large?
You tell me.
Who would ache or long
for more, better or different
if these were the conditions
of his inner experience of life?
***
Prayer for the Day
I'm living my best life
and I give thanks for
this GIFT.
Amen
***
06/24/2024
Thought for the Day
What happens when you
allow yourself to experience
your life in the exact way
that you are experiencing it?
And what occurs when you
no longer resist what is
in any way nor seek
to change it?
What do you think happens
when you trust what is happening
as being a part of the soul's
perfect journey for you?
Lastly, what happens when you
recognize that your life
happens the way it happens
to show you what
you have yet to love
and accept about yourself?
***
Prayer for the Day
Grant me the courage to
allow my life to show me
what happens when
I love, trust and accept
what is as it is, me included.
Amen
***
06/23/2024
Thought for the Day
Do you want to feel
happiness, to have
a certain joie de vivre?
Do you long for peace
and the deeply
satisfying experience of
feeling entirely at home
in your own skin?
Then quit nit-picking.
Do yourself a favor
and the world a solid
as well and stop
nit-picking.
Making Much Ado about Nothing
as Shakespeare would
put it.
Nothing needs to be different,
my dear.
If it was supposed to be
different, it would be.
Where is the key that
unlocks the door of Heaven.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me live with
such simplicity and
acceptance, that I
may experience
Heaven whilst still
on earth.
Amen
***
06/22/2024
Thought for the Day
Listen carefully, beloved.
If there is nothing that is
missing in you, then
there can be nothing that
is required of you.
Like ever.
How deeply will you
give yourself permission
to settle into that realization
and lay your burden down?
***
Prayer for the Day
Now that's acceptance.
May I live my life
that free.
Amen
***
06/21/2024
Thought for the Day
The goal, if you could say
there was one, because
there is not, would be to
bring Conscious Awareness
to all the moments of your
life.
It is not to try to fix what is,
nor to try to heal it, to try
to improve what is or to
try to change what is
happening, whether inner
or outer in any way.
Simply to bring Conscious
Awareness to each unique
experience with the most
humble and gentle
of all recognitions...that
you chose this emotion,
this feeling, these thoughts,
this body, these experiences
as they are, long before
time began.
Why would you do such
a thing?
Because you knew that
each experience you chose,
when consciously experienced,
would help you bring love
and light to all the parts of you
that were longing to remember
your freedom and the peace
which you forever are..
That how you are and how you
react or respond is flawlessly
perfect for you.
That loving means to be with...
to really and trly be with.
To be with without judgment
or need to change anything.
Thus the perfect question
to ask of oneself in each
unfolding moment is, can
I embrace that?
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me dare to embrace
myself in all the moments
of my life, recognizing
that I do not need to be
different, I need to be
lovingly accepted by
myself for who I am
and how I am.
Amen
***
06/20/2024
Thought for the Day
What does the adage
live and let live
mean to you?
Reflect on this question
today....
Better yet, seek to live
by it and let the results
you see in your life
and the lives of others
speak for themselves.
For the results will
surely speak to your heart
in a silence which is
deafening if you let them.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me stay in my own lane
today and silently offer
all who cross my path
total freedom to be without
my enter + fear + ance
and a heartfelt blessing.
Amen
***
06/19/2024
Thought for the Day
Do you know that you
are supposed to have the
precise experience that you
have to each and every
thought which you read
here every day?
Some of you are offended,
some dismayed, others
caught completely off guard
while some laugh and
turn away, never to return.
But some...
Some receive the messages
like they are manna
from heaven.
But you know what?
It does not matter.
You cannot get it wrong.
I do not expect you to
understand the messages.
I do not need you to
agree with them.
You will have the experience
you were supposed to have
as I will have mine.
And the only thing that
I can do is show up each day,
sit at this keyboard
and allow to flow through me
what wishes to flow from
this heart, to be the message's
first receiver.
And my only responsibility
to to be true to my Self,
true to my experience,
and that I choose each day,
100% of the time.
Who hears will hear
because they are destined to,
who does not never will
and that is perfect too.
If humanity could only trust
that everything is exactly
as it should be, that you are
as you should be,
and just flow with the river of life
rather than try to push it,
the world would be restored
to a permanent state of peace
in span of a single heartbeat.
Now that's acceptance;
acceptance and trust.
***
Prayer for the Day
Thank you for a heart
which is big enough
to embrace the world
exactly as it is.
Amen
***
06/18/2024
Thought for the Day
What kind of world do you
want to live in?
How would you like
your life to look, and more
importantly, how would
you like it to feel?
Have you ever given these
questions some sincere
and humble reflection?
Are you willing to advocate
on behalf of the world
you want to live in and
the person you want to be?
And are you willing to do so
consistently day after day
until your dream is fully
realized?
Because that is what it takes
to bring something out of
the realm of possibility
into the realm of the manifest.
And that, my dear,
is what maturity looks like
and feels like.
***
Prayer for the Day
The trouble with our world
in a nutshell?
Too many preschoolers
pretending to be adults.
Forget about maturity.
People have forgotten words
like cooperation, brotherhood,
generosity, kindness and most
importantly, committment.
No one wants to be responsible
or accountable.
It is far too easy to blame
and pass the buck,
that's the inconvenient truth.
May my presence in this world
be an example of all I hold
dear and the full potential
and possibility of
a precious human life.
Amen
***
06/17/2024
Thought for the Day
A mantra is given you
to work with today.
Play around with it.
Find other ways to say it.
Apply it to everything.
Just be willing to see
where it takes you.
Here goes:
I chose this...
I choose this...
I choose to experience this...
This is part of my soul's
perfect journey for me.
They are on their soul's perfect
journey for them. Leave
them alone. Live and let live.
Relax and breathe.
You've got this.
Everything is unfolding
according to design.
I have every reason
to trust what's happening,
to trust the life
which is mine to live
and that includes this.
And if it occurs to you to do so,
jot me a note and tell me
of your discoveries.
***
Prayer for the Day
Thank you for the life
which is mine to live.
I've got this.
Amen
***
06/16/2024
Thought for the Day
What could possibly be
more important or
precious to you
than peace?
If the cost you pay
ffor having it, is holding
onto a relationship,
a job, success in any arena
of your human life, material
possessions, the acknow-
ledgement or approval
of others, etc., is your peace,
then walk away---
no, run for God's sake,
to the nearest
exit.
It's just not worth it.
I treasure having
a light-hearted and
simple life far too much---
one where I sleep
like a baby at night,
that the thought
of sacrificing my peace
for the mere trinkets
that this world
has to offer is
utterly unthinkable.
What matters most
to you?
Have you let that become
the guiding principle
upon which you have
built your life?
***
Prayer for the Day
Peace, precious
boundless peace,
in every single
step I take.
This is my purpose
for being.
This is how I share
my light unobscurated
with the world.
Amen
***
06/15/2024
Thought for the Day
No one can give you
permission to be happy
but you, my dear.
Happy is a lifestyle choice,
and one that is dependant
on nothing but what
you elect.
It is a decision that you make
each morning before
your feet hit the floor.
And that decision walks
in the space before you,
reminding you in each moment
that you are a self-sovereign
being and you decide
what kind of day
you will have.
What or whom
are you waiting on
in order to give yourself
permission to be happy?
If the decision to be happy
is dependant on anyone
or anything, that is
the extent to which
you have given your power
away and are playing
the role of victim.
***
Prayer for the Day
Today I choose to be
happy and nothing
is going to interfere
with that decision
which only I can
make.
Amen
***
06/14/2024
Thought for the Day
Can you give yourself
permission today
to no longer need
anyone else's approval
for anything, or to care
what they think
or have to say about you?
Will you at least give
it a sincere try?
Can you imagine
what it would feel like
to completely have
your own approval
and need no other?
***
Prayer for the Day
Please support me
in every effort I make
to lovingly & authentically
be here for me.
Amen
***
06/13/2024
Thought for the Day
If you really and truly are
as God created you,
made by design by the
Great Designer of All,
then what do you
actually think you are doing
when you refer to yourself
as a work in progress?
Isn't that a rather straight
forward middle finger
that is being directed
toward the Absolute
Creator of All?
If I express dislike
toward a painting
or other work of art,
is that a statement
I am making about
the painting, or the one
who painted it?
Not his best work
is an opinion, not a fact.
Beloved, no opinion
carries any more weight
than what you happen
to give it.
And that does not mean
it truly has any clout at all,
only that you have given
your power to it.
***
Prayer for the Day
LOVE the one you're with
has an entirely new
meaning for me today.
Help me show up for
the one I am always with
in humble recognition that
the only person that
I am always with
is myself.
Amen
***
06/12/2024
Thought for the Day
You do not need anybody's
permission for anything,
beloved, you do not need
anybody's permission
but your own.
Never never never
externalize your authority
because you are
a self-sovereign
human being.
You were created to be
self-soverign and that
you forever remain.
Your mind, your emotions,
your identity, cannot be
manipulated, coerced,
hypnotized, fooled
or controlled by anyone,
ever, unless you allow it
to be.
Isn't it high time
you took your power back,
and I do mean all of it,
from every external
authority that you have
given it to?
Who has victimized whom?
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me clearly see
that it is my own permission
I have longed for
all along.
I vow to no longer deny
myself my own love
and compassion
however I am ever
again.
For I recognize, and I do
so clearly, that it is
not the world's job
to see me, it is mine.
Amen

06/11/2024
Thought for the Day
The one thing that you
cannot change is the fact
that you are a human
being.
You are here in a body
experiencing a human life.
You have spent your entire life
desperately trying to become
something other than human,
something which you already
are, beloved.
Every time you distract,
numb, repress or suppress,
you are denying some part
of your humanity your
own love.
You create the separation
by fivifing yourself into
two parts; lovable
and unlovable.
But being the way you are
and giving yourself
permission to be that way,
to meet all these parts of you
with tenderness, kindness
and openness is the entry
point into an empowered
and fulfilled life.
How is this?
Because you are giving
all of yourself direct access
to the LOVE that you are.
And that's Freedom with
a capital "F".
To know thyself is to love
thyself.
And to love thyself
is to be with all the parts
of you, to actually give
yourself permission to be
the human being that you
are as you are and to know
that that is entirely worthy,
even if no one else ever
sees it or gets it.
***
Prayer for the Day
No longer denying
any part of me
my light and my
LOVE.
Thus allowing my love
and light to merge completely
with my humanity
in humble recognition that
I am always lovable,
the perfect 'me,'
no matter what.
Amen

Thought for the Day
Dear sweet child,
you are the HOME
where LOVE resides.
Give yourself permission
to access, experience
and embody that LOVE
NOW.
What could possibly be
standing in the way of that
but your permission?
***
Prayer for the Day
Rapturous thanksgiving
pours forth from this heart
for the incredible love
I have found within me.
Amen
***
06/09/2024
Thought for the Day
The most amazing feeling
that you will ever experience
is that of realizing that
you are not dependent
on anyone or anything.
You recognize, and quite
clearly so, that you have
become your own source
both of and for
everything....
Completion is only
found within, my love.
***
Prayer for the Day
Thank you for who I am
and how I am.
I thank the ONE
who resides in the temple
of the heart, the living Source
of all things manifest,
for my completion.
Amen

06/08/2024
Thought for the Day
If you are very very fortunate,
perhaps one person
during the course of
an entire lifetime
will really and truly see you,
see you in naked transparency
and cherish what is seen
unconditionally with
no questions asked.
Be sure to take the time
to notice and appreciate
it if or when it happens,
but certainly do not waste
your life force expecting it
from anyone.
You are not here for others
to get you.
You are not here
for the world to see you,
you are here for you
to see you.
So the question is, do you
see you?
Do you really and truly
see you?
Are you your own
most beloved and
treasured advocate?
***
Prayer for the Day
Thank you for the glory
which this life has been
for me in ways too numerous
to count.
And thank you that
at long last, I can say
with complete honesty
that I do love myself.
Love, livest thou me.
Amen
***
06/07/2024
Thought for the Day
If it isn't loving, if it
isn't kind, it is some form
of self-abuse
and self-abnegation.
And it is helpful to remember
that whatever you project
onto others or your world
is a revelation of how
you really and truly
feel about yourself
on the deepest of levels.
***
Prayer for the Day
May I never forget that
how I treat you
is a rather telling reflection
of how I treat me.
Amen
***
06/06/2024
Thought for the Day
If you could devote yourself
fully to only one practice
and grow into being 100%
consistent in your response
to yourself and your world
at all times it would be this...
To allow the following
question to walk in the space
before you, informing
everything you think, feel,
say or do:
Is this loving?
This is all.
And if it is not, determine
to have no part in it.
Be willing to walk away
from the person(s) or
situation entirely
if need be.
I assure you, your world
would change in ways
which are beyond
miraculous.
And if all the world
were to adopt this practice
for just one day,
the earth would no doubt
shift on its axis.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me give myself
to this practice with
increasing devotion,
sincerity and earnest-
ness every single day
from this point forward
for what remains
of my life.
Amen
***
06/05/2024
Thought for the Day
Nobody on God's green earth
has the ability to give you
permission to be all that you
are but you, my dear.
And nobody has the power
to withhold it from you
but you, either.
To what or or to whom
(other than you)
have you given your power?
If you are being really honest
with yourself,
who's holding whom back?
Huh?
***
Prayer for the Day
Today, giving myself permission
to be free, to embody fully
all that I am.
Amen
***
06/04/2024
Thought for the Day
If you are trying,
you are lying.
You cannot try to be
or become all that
you infinitely are
right now and
always have been.
***
Prayer for the Day
I yam that I yam
and that is all I yam.
And that means I am
an Infinite Being
of love and light.
Yesterday, today
and forever.
Amen
***
06/03/2024
Thought for the Day
With all of my heart I implore,
will you please just allow it
to be easy?
You are the only one
who chooses to make
your life difficult.
You are the one who holds
separation in place by
refusing to love every part
of you.
***
Prayer for the Day
Worthy am I to love,
cherish and embody
all that I am.
Amen
***
06/02/2024
Thought for the Day
It is one thing for me
to tell you day after day
who you are, and it is
quite another thing
for you to give yourself
permission to be
what you are.
Herein lies the sticky
wicket through which
you must give yourself
permission to pass
through.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me clearly see
that I am the only
adversary I have
ever had and
consciously choose
to be done with that
in its entirety.
Amen
***
06/01/2024
Thought for the Day
Once you begin to tell
the truth to yourself
about your experience,
being entirely honest,
yet kind and gentle
with yourself, you
liberate your light
which has been shrouded
in darkness within you.
Then you become
a formidable presence---
the likes of which
this world has
never seen or known.
***
Prayer for the Day
May I be such a being.
Amen
***
05/31/2024
Thought for the Day
Do you recognize that
you are withholding love
from yourself
each and every time
you find any part of you
unworthy or unacceptable,
seeking distraction, humbing
and busyness instead?
Why would anyone do this
to themselves if they
clearly recognized that this
is precisely what they were
up to?
Why would you judge
yourself so harshly?
What is so terrifying
about being you?
Hasn't the world already
done enough of that?
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me lovingly advocate
on behalf of myself today
by truly being attentive to me,
for I would be my own BFF.
Amen
***
05/30/2024
Thought for the Day
When you find yourself feeling
disgruntled, at odds with
what is, hit your pause button
and take 3-4 long, slow,
deep breaths.
Remind yourself of the
following:
When I was at Infinite Choice,
this was an experience
I chose to have.
Why do you think that is?
Could it be because of
the LIGHT that you would
bring to the people you
would inevitably encounter
throughout the entirety
of the experience?
How else does LIGHT get
moved around on
the game board of life?
And could it also be
because of who you KNEW
that you would inevitably become
as a result of this experience?
When you listen carefully
and lovingly, what does
your heart tell you
about this experience?
Does it urge you to resist?
To fight and struggle
in an attempt to change
what is?
Or does it whisper to you
"Surrender, my dearest one,
surrender lovingly
to what is. You will find
freedom and peace if you
trust that this was part
of your plan all along."
***
Prayer for the Day
That is about as clear
as anything could
possibly get.
Help me learn to
trust my Self
and love my Self
as only I can.
Amen
***
05/29/2024
Thought for the Day
Do you real eyes that in
every single experience
which each moment holds,
you are profoundly connected
to everyone else on this planet
who happens to be experiencing
the same thing as you or
struggles with it as well?
You came to express
the light that you are
through every bit of'
your experience.
You did not come here
to escape the human
experience.
You came here to live it,
and live it fully.
I'm talking
boots on the ground,
right in the middle
of everything,
completely experiencing
the experience, as it is,
and bringing the light to it.
Love chose to be here.
So be here and experience
every experience love chose
to have, trust it, without
needing to understand,
bringing the light
to all of it.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me real eyes that
this body is a light
delivery mechanism
which I chose,
long before I arrived.
My experiences are
both planeed and
necessary.
And it is by having
the courage to really
and truly live it, that
I set us all free.
Amen
***
05/28/2024
Thought for the Day
Do you real eyes that life
presents you with power-
lessness and uncertainty,
problems and obstacles,
challenges and discomfort
in order to systematically
remove another layer of
the illusion of you?
It is not a punishment.
Tell the truth about
your experience!
You did not do anything
wrong.
That which has the capacity
to bring you to your knees
is there to lift you up to
Infinity.
But it cannot do so
until you get out of your
own way.
Think of all whom you will
bring your light to
as you navigate the choppy
waters you are currently
navigating.
You are, after all, always
and at all times on the soul's
journey.
Your experience is perfect,
beloved.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me remember
that when I can't,
the light whithin me can,
and have the good sense
to surrender and
accept what is.
Amen

Thought for the Day
You are amazing, sweetheart.
And a human life is so brief.
So live it. Give it your all.

Prayer for the Day

as if it were my last---

is a never to be repeated
GIFT.

***
05/26/2024
Thought for the Day
Today is all about examining
the relationship which you have
with your humanity.
Watch your humanity;
watch your emotions, your
feelings, your body.
Observe your interactions
with people, the situations and
circumstances you encounter,
without trying to police yourself
in any way.
This is not about judging it.
This is not about judging you.
Nor is it about trying to change
anything.
It is about being willing
and able to be truly honest
with ourselves.
What is your relationship with
your emotions like?
Do you feel them, accept them
and embrace them?
How do you relate to
your feelings?
What is your relationship
with your body like?
If you were to draw a bar
graph and on the far left side
was "I hate my body, I feel
at odds with what is
happening in it. I struggle
with it and oft times resist
what is happening in it.
I push it to the point of
exhaustion most of the time."
And on the far right side
you have "I love my body,
I feel appreciation and
gratitude for my physicality
and I try to care for it in a way
that is supportive of it"
where would you honestly
be?
And then throughout the day,
be observant of all the body
provides you, all that it makes
possible.
Do the same with your emotions,
feelings, all that you would
refer to as your inner experience
as well as outer experience.
Your human life is a gift.
Without the sum total of
your humanity, exactly
as it is, the Divine would
be without a unique means
to share its dynamic presence
in this world.
It would have no vehicle
with which to make itself
known.
Your willingness to take
a human form is more than
vital, it is pivotal
in the grand scheme
of things.
Perhaps you have lost sight
of that more than a bit,
my dear.
An idea worthy of your loving
reflection today.
***
Prayer for the Day
All of me is ONE with
all things.
Let love, appreciation
and genuine gratitude
be the reflections
of this day for what
my presence here
on planet earth.
brings to this
banquet table
of life.
Amen
***
05/25/2024
Thought for the Day
Know Thyself
and
To Thine Own Self Be True

Prayer for the Day
Help me stay in my own
hoola hoop today
and love the Self I am.

05/24/2024
Thought for the Day
In what world could you
possibly imagine that
peace was a real and
viable outcome for you
when your entire life
is built upon the concept
of playing the game,
fitting in, belonging,
public approval, being
successful and performing
well in ways which get
you noticed and bring
attention to yourself?
It's time for a little honest
self-reflection.
This is the paradigm that
the world follows,
it is not yours.
Not really.
***
Prayer for the Day
The only lie that counts
is the lie I tell myself.
Because I cannot tell
someone else a lie
without lying to myself
first.
I;m talking about
the one I repeat to myself
day after day after
miserable day.
The one that tells me
I am a have not (lacking)
pretending to be a have...
or at the very least,
chasing it in ways the world
defines as success.
And that is the tap root
which has been running
the show in my life
since I could first form
a thought.
Help me destroy it,
for I would collapse
the perceived distance
between the authentic
and the created selves.
When that root goes,
they all go along with it,
for each is a branch
from the orignal root.
Amen
***
05/23/2024
Thought for the Day
The most powerful lie
in all the universe
is the one you tell
yourself.
You cannot lie to yourself
and actually wonder
why your life is miserable.
And the greatest of all lies
is that you are something
other than love.
Do you real eyes the level
of self-deception you have to
engage in on a daily basis
to convince youself that
you are separate or distanced
from the truth of your being
or God?
***
Prayer for the Day
I have spent a lifetime
betraying myself
and for what?
The favor of others?
Thank you that I can no longer
tolerate the thought of
self-deception and self-betrayal.
Thank you that it feels
so unthinkable, intolerable
and repulsive.
I give thanks for that.
Thank you that honoring
and loving myself
feels so wonderful
that I cannot fathom
for a nanosecond
not being here for me
at all times and in
all ways.
Amen

05/22/2024
Thought for the Day
To Thine Own Self Be
True, beloved.
Be true to you to your
very last breath.
This is the definition of
a life of fulfillment,
a life well-lived.
***
Prayer for the Day
May I always be my best
champion in this life; the one
with the most clarity,
the most wisdom, the most
honesty, the most love,
the most kindness and
the most tenderness
for me.
Amen
***
05/21/2024
Thought for the Day
The greatest of all forms of
deception is self-deception.
Why is this?
You are the one who has
to live with you, and that
you cannot escape.
You have to live with
the consequences of being
dishonest with yourself
about what your own
inner being is telling you
and then be willing
to betray that.
And for what?
Someone else's approval?
A facsimile of peace?
What about your peace?
What about the precious
being that you are
throwing under
the bus?
What is your gain?
A few crumbs from
someone else's table
when you have been given
an entire smorgasbord
to choose from?
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me remember that
there is no good reason
to ever lie to myself
about anything.
This is because
the most sacred relationship
I will ever have is the one
I have with me.
Amen

05/20/2024
Thought for the Day
Have you had enough
striving, struggling
and stressing out yet?
Are you tired of the hustle,
the misery and suffering?
You know, my dear,
that you are never alone,
even when you claim
you want to be.
Know this.
I'll be sure to keep the lights on
for you.
So come home when
you feel ready to do so.
I know, in your heart
of hearts, that you can feel
the difference between
boundless freedom
and the stench of bondage.

May my presence ever be
a living scripture

05/19/2024
Thought for the Day
Here's the real deal.
You did not come here
to love your spouse,
your children, your partner,
your bff, your neighbor,
or the world.
You came here to learn
to love yourself.
Not just the parts you
find acceptable, but in
particular, the parts which
you find unacceptable
and actively dislike, dismiss,
have a problem with,
loathe or even hate.
And until you can love all
of these parts of you authentically,
you will not begin to know
what it means to love
the people in your life,
let alone the world.
Your inability to love you
becomes your inability
to truly love anyone
or anything.
Clear?
***
Prayer for the Day
Saddle up.
We have the task of
a lifetime to see about.
It is time to learn to
love ourselves
as only we can.

Thought for the Day
Partial experiences
do not count.
A glimpse is a glimpse
is a glimpse.
Another aspect of
impermanence, no different
than any other experience
which comes and goes.
Radical acceptance
of every part of you
is the key to Eternity,
dear child.
It is always about
your inner experience
of life, is it not?
Every experience is an
opportunity to love yourself
even more.

I am a GIFT and let my light
shine for all to receive.

radiance and acceptance

05/16/2024
Thought for the Day
You are the only one
who holds separation in place
by refusing to open your heart
to every single part of you, to

condition or judgment.
Love loves with an open hand

expectation at all times
if it be love at all.

05/15/2024
Thought for the Day
Abundance begins
with radical self-acceptance.
Self-denial and self-abnegation
closes off the flow of grace.
When will you be enough
for you, my dear?
When will you allow yourself
to receive the bounty of life?
***
Prayer for the Day
I never ever noticed
how worthiness and
an open heart go
hand in hand.
The heart does not have
the capacity to open
any wider that we have
the capacity to love
ourselves.
Thank you for eyes to see
and a heart which opens
wider and wider each day
to the flow of grace.
Amen
***
05/14/2024
Thought for the Day
Do you real eyes that
nothing in this entire Cosmos
is stingy?
No one and no thing is
withholding anything
from you but you, beloved.
And you unavoidably do so
when you do not love
all of you.
There remains parts of you
that you feel are unworthy.
And so youwaste precious time
trying to change, placing
freedom in a future where
you hope to be worthy.
Listen carefully.
Change is impossible.
You are exactly who and how
God made you to be.
Until you can lovingly accept
all of yourself, exactly as you are,
you will never allow yourself
to receive the boundless love
and infinite blessings & bounty
which the Cosmos wishes
to give you.
Why?
Because they are yours
sweet child of God!
***
Prayer for the Day
Thank you for the GIFT
of all of me.
I am beginning to feel like
acceptance, true, complete,
radical acceptance, acceptance
of nothing short of everything,
is like Willy Wonka's
golden ticket.
Help me love it all today
recognizing that it is all me---
for me, by me, to me.
Amen

05/13/2024
Thought for the Day
The vital point that some of you
are still not comprehending
is that it is not enough to feel t
he feelings as they come up
for you, you are here to learn
to love and accept them exactly
as they are, to no longer have
a problem with any part of you
being exactly as it is.
This is have complete and utter
trust in the One who
consciously made you this way.
Because when you are brave
enough to love it completely
(we are one after all), that part
returns to wholeness within
all of us.
That is you 'soul' purpose
in this life: To make complete
peace with all of you.
***
Prayer for the Day
Thank you for making
me exactly as I am
and grant me the courage
to love and accept
all of what that means
as it is.
I am truly exhausted from
this adversarial relationship
I have with my life; reacting
constantly to my world.
Help me to cultivate
a loving relationship
with all of me, for I would
have naught but kindness
and tenderness from this point
forward with all of my experience
regardless, trusting in the ONE
who made me as I am.

05/12/2024
Thought for the Day
Your life is a reflection,
a living demonstration
of all you believe
and hold dear.
It is a culmination of
your conditioning, programing,
brainwashing, group think,
the media, big business,
the social network, school,
work, friends, politics,
religion, beliefs, prejudices,
judgments, etc., etc.
What is the message which your life
communicates with the world?
Do you walk in the monotony
and humdrum of the Matrix,
allowing the mind and emotions
to dicate the sum total of what
you have gown to think of
as you and your life, or are you
a Conscious Bringer of Light?
Are you guided by the True North
of the Spirit within?
Why do you believe you
are here?
What is the purpose of
your life?
What have you garnered
along the way that you can
actually take with you
when you leave this world
behind?
Body?
Poessessions?
Accolades?
Which seeds have you sewn?
I assure you that the only thing
you will take with you when
you leave this earth behind
are the seeds of love
which have ripened
in your heart.
These are your only
real possessions.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me remain
consciously attuned today
to the fleeting nature
of this life I think of
as mine.
Even if we are fortunate
enough to live a 100 years,
it still goes by in the blink
of an eye.
Help me make every day
count in the most precious
of ways.
I ran into my old vet
who cared for my dog
all of her life.
When my dog died,
she was pregnant with
her first child.
Next week this same child
graduates from high school.
Help me make of my life
a living demonstration of
a love which knows
no bounds.
For this is the most frevent prayer
this heart has to offer this day
which is dedicated to Motherhood.
Help me real eyes that She
lives within.

Thought for the Day
(For Virginia)
Radical acceptance of everything
(particularly every part
and parcel of yourself)
exactly as you are,
exactly as it is, s is the key
which unlocks the door
which says "This Way To
Permanent Changeless
Freedom."
Trying to change or enter + fear
with the grand Design
is such a waste of life force
energy and is the root
of all suffering.
Believing it should be different
and that it is your duty to try
your best to change people,
to change what is, is like
sentencing yourself to
the role is Sisyphus.
Remeber him?
Zeus sentenced him to roll
a boulder up a hill for all eternity,
only to try again and again
and again, meeting failure
each and every time.
When Divine Intelligence
wants you to do somthing
you will recognize it as guidance
because what you intuit
will be clear and peaceful
to you.
Haven't you got better things
to do with your time?
Let's remove suffering
from all human vocabulary,
shall we?

Help me bring my suffering

Thought for the Day
How could I deign to criticize,

what God created perfectly---
in the precise way
He wanted it to be?
Those who do engage in
these behaviors believe they
know better than God, that
the perfect can be rendered
imperfect and in need

(Happy Birthday
Swamiji and Margaret)
You are not a mistake, beloved.
God doesn't make mistakes.
Even the things you despise
most about yourself
were lovingly created
by the Source of all things
for you to learn to love
and make peace with.
This is the key to your freedom.
This is your reason for
a precious human life.
As you bring love and light
to the hard to accept places,
the world shifts right along
with you.
As you grow more loving
and accepting, the world
does too.

that I am; hair, guts, feathers
and all.
Amen

Thought for the Day
I would like to ask you
a couple of questions today
and I ask you to reflect deeply
on them and hold them
closely in your heart.
Question #1
How much of your life
has been centered around
the following belief?
If I do/accomplish ____________ then
I will be/feel ___________.
Another version of this question
is "If I do/accomplish __________
then ___________ will love
and accept me.
(You fill in your own blankss.)
This heart to heart conversation
is nobody's business
but yours and your own
beating heart.
Question #2
Did it ever work?
Did it ever gain you their
approval or make you
feel better about you?
Be honest with yourself.
***
Prayer for the Day
Nothing I have ever tried
or achieved has ever worked
at changing me, nor has it
successfully squelched
my feeling incomplete,
bereft of genuine love
and belonging.
Perhaps I should consider
this whole loving myself
as I am thing a try.
Amen
***
05/07/2024
Thought for the Day
Do you real eyes that
every experience you have
has been carefully set up
by you in order to avoid feeling
the very feeling that you
dislike most about yourself?
This little tidbit of information
gives real meaning to the oft used
colloquialism "saving face."
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me notice lovingly today
when I am being truly genuine
and when I am doing something
for the singular purpose of
feeling better about myself.
Amen
***
05/06/2024
Thought for the Day
The most vital, life-changing
realization that I have had
in the course of my time
on this earth was to finally
real eyes my purpose.
To understand fully why
I am here.
I did not come to save the world.
The world does not need saving.
And I did not come here
to love the world.
I came here to learn to love
one person, and to love
that person unconditionally
with every fiber of my being.
Who is that person?
None other than me.
Not just the parts I happen to like
about myself, but especially
the parts that I do not like,
the parts I wish were not there,
purposefully ignore, distract,
myself from facing,
numb myself from and
actively resist.
And when that purpose has been
entirely fulfilled, my days
on this planet will be over.
For I will no longer have a need
to remain here in a body.
This is why we are all here,
beloved.
So get to work on receiving
yourself with open arms
and heart.
It is entirely life-altering
and peace producing.
And when you really and truly
love yourself unconditionally,
that loves seeps out
to fill the world.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me be acutely aware
of how I am relating to myself
today, and when kindness
iis not present, let me
receiive myself with
open and unconditionally
loving arms.
How present can I be
with myself today?
Amen
***
05/05/2024
Thought for the Day
See how consistently you
can watch your breath
today.
I am not actually asking you to
make your breath long, slow,
deep, cleansing, or any other
way in which you may have
been brain-washed into believing
are notable signs of
true breath awareness.
Just watch it.
Notice the sensations
in your chect and lower
abdomen when you inhale
and exhale.
How does it feel?
See if you can observe the fact
that you are not actually breathing.
You are being breathed.
Who or what is pulling the breath?
Be curious about this exploration.
Guess what? It is the soul!
Your soul, beloved is the ONE
who pulls the breath.
What do you notice in sustained
periods of consistent breath
awareness?
Never ever forget the fact that
your breath is the only key
to freedom.
Freedom and presence
are synonymous.
The obvious question thus is,
how earnestly do you long
to recognize and embody
the freedom which is
your natural state?
For surely this is not
a difficult feat to accomplish
for anyone who sincerely
wants it.
***
Prayer for the Day
I would recognize the freedom
which is naturally present
whenever and wherever
I make breath awareness
a consistent priority.
Amen
***
05/04/2024
Thought for the Day
No one needs changing,
fixing or healing.
You do not need changing,
fixing or healing.
Are you the human being
with all of its habits,
patterns, behaviors and
conditioning, or are you
the light which is animating
the human role which
you are playing?
You are a Divine Being
and everything is unfolding
in Divine Order.
This cannot be spoken
often enough.
Why?
Because you simply will
not believe it.
And if this is true about you,
which it is, then it is true
about everyone and everything.
So what legitimate reason
do you have not to trust
in the perfect unfolding
of your life, the lives of those
whom you love and the world?
***
Prayer for the Day
How about I give myself
and my world a break
today?
With nothing bigger
or more important on
my plate than to simply
breathe and relax.
Breathe.
Relax.
Accept.
Embrace.
Trust.
Amen
***
05/03/2024
Thought for the Day
What would your life feel like
if you real eyes'd you were
not the sum total of your experiences
and who you became as a result
of each of them, but rather,
you had been and always will be
the light which has been
passing through each of them
every single instant of your
existence which, btw, is eternal?
***
Prayer for the Day
Now that's a real eye opener.
I am that LIGHT, I am.
Amen
***
05/02/2024
Thought for the Day
If it does not ring of FREEDOM,
if the cost you have to pay is PEACE,
then quietly walk away.
It's not worth it.
It will only bring you suffering
and self-betrayal in the end.
This is the simplest
and most harmonious of codes
by which to live one's life.
Can this be difficult unless
one does not really want
to be free?
***
Prayer for the Day
May I always be proud
of the face I behold
in the mirror each day.
Help me be me and to
do me in the most genuine
of ways to the very end.
Amen
***
05/01/2024
Thought for the Day
Five magic words you should
tatoo on your brain:
"No thank you. I'm busy."
To change it up a bit you
could say, "Thanks, but I can't.
My plate is already full."
These six work as well:
"You're barkin' up the wrong tree!"
Or you could simply go with
"I believe I will listen to
my own inner guru on this one."
(A fovorite of Pam's.)
And if you need to really set
someone straight you could go
with my dad's favorite:
"Opinions are like assholes.
They are only important to the one
who has one."
***
Prayer for the Day
I am a free and autonomous
being.
I am not here to live up to
anyone else's expectations.
I was born to follow
my own North Star.
So don't waste your breath
trying to control me.
It simply will not work.
Never has and never will.
It is my life I am living
not yours.
Amen
***
04/30/2024
Thought for the Day
In my lifetime, I have found
that the greatest single source
of suffering comes from
conformity, trying to be
like everyone else, rather than
simply, humbly and proudly
being you.
Do you really believe
that you can ever find happiness
being a sheep?
You came here to be a lion.
Let me hear you roar!
***
Prayer for the Day
This is me, world.
I am the light which moves
through all of it!
Hair, guts, feathers and all.
And I'm gonna shine so bright
today you have to wear shades!
So grab onto something
you can hold onto
cuz I'm gonna be showing up
full - on - me and you
can bank on it!
Amen
***
04/29/2024
Thought for the Day
Today, I simply ask that
you reflect inwardly on what
it is about you that makes
you want to fit in and belong
so badly,that you are more than
willing to sacrifice your own
wishes, values &integrity
by placing more value
on what someone else thinks
or feels about you than how
you feel about yourself.
If you have the courage,
drop me a note and tell me
about it.
I sure would like to
understand this one.
I really would.
Because when I see you,
I see one who is so
incredibly beautiful, shiny,
perfect in every way
and in need of no one's
acceptance or approval.
Least of all mine.
(But you got it anyway.)
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me clearly see
why it is that I am so resistant
to seeing how precious
I actually am, that I
have been designed
by the Divine to be
as I am, an exquisite
light delivery mechanism
who does the job
flawlessly 24/7.
Amen
***
04/28/2024
Thought for the Day
Allow your innately stubborn
and rebellious nature
to be your North Star.
If something doesn't feel right,
it just doesn't feel right.
And if something smacks
of bondage in any form
or degree, turn the other way.
Your inner sensitivity
to how something feels
will lead you to your own
innermost being, otherwise
known as the soul or God.
You did not come here to
march to the beat of someone
else's drum.
You did not come here to
conform; to be a sheep
who only follows where
the masses go, the right house,
the right car, has the right job,
a perfect body and the 'right'
friends to show for it.
You came here to find yourself,
to allow your own heart
to lead you home.
Let it.
***
Prayer for the Day
Whose voice could possibly
count more than mine?
Let that be the question which
walks in the space before me.
And grant me the courage
to dare to listen to
my own beating heart
rather than the voice which
says, "conform, conform,
conform!"
Amen
***
04/27/2024
Thought for the Day
The mold was broken when
God made you
and that is a wonderful thing.
So bump it with a trumpet
today.
Be loud and proud,
okay?
Your light is so bright
I just gotta wear shades!
***
Prayer for the Day
100% me and proud of it.
I'm not some brainwashed,
zombie sycophant
who drinks the world's
kool-aide hook,
line & sinker.
Amen
***
04/26/2024
Thought for the Day
You were not born to live
in the fetid and murky
waters of conformity.
So find your own unique
way to be you and do you.
Because in the end,
you are the only expert
on this entire planet
who knows just what that is;
what it looks like and feels like
to be genuinely you.
March to the beat of your
own drum, beloved.
Wouldn't you rather love
the face you greet in the mirror
each morning than to have
the accolades of the entire
peanut gallery we refer to
as the world?
To Thine Own Self Be True.
This is FREEDOM.
And as far as I am concerned,
I freely give you without condition
the palette of this entire universe
to do just that, so have at it,
my precious little 1 of 1.
***
Prayer for the Day
I am brilliantly and positively
me through and through.
I can be no other way.
And I love love love that
about me.
i will be me and do me
and I am supremely proud
of that truth.
Amen
P.S. My commitment to be me
and do me does not hinge
on how you happen to feel
about that.
***
04/25/2024
Thought for the Day
Today is a day of thorough
self-observation.
Every time you recognize
the experience of suffering,
regardless how subtle
or strong it may happen
to be, I want you to
honestly inquire within:
Where am I not telling
myself the truth?
How am I not facing
what is true for me
in this moment?
There is an acronym I like
to use for the word denial:
Don't Even Notice I Am Lying.
Do you possess the courage
to see clearly and end
all of your suffering
once and for all?
It's up to you, dear one.
For the beginning of
radical self-honesty
hallmarks the ending of
the reign of suffering
in your life.
***
Prayer for the Day
I am done with self-deceit.
Whatever it is, at least teach me
what it means to be honest
with myself about my experience.
Amen
***
04/24/2024
Thought for the Day
I have a sincere and heartfelt
question to ask each of you.
Tell me what your heart
is telling you, be
completely honest with
yourself and me.
And don't worry.
I am not afraid of your answer.
If we had grown up
iin an environment where
we learned how to be honest
about our experience,
and if we had also learned
to be gentle, kind and loving
with ourselves in all situations
and circumstances, and if
every single human being
had been raised in this manner
for that matter, would there be
any suffering, misery, inequity,
disharmony, war or cruelty
in this world today?
I do not think so.
Today I bow before the
most holy feet of the precious
soul who filled this heart
with so much love and joy,
who taught me to be
.a human being and
a pretty darn good one
at that.
She left this earthly vale
at 12:25 AM CST today
and flew HOME to God .
She took the form of
a best freind in order to
love me, and today
I return her to God.
Thank you for having been
the light of my life.
And I honor the pain
as well as the heart full
of love I now feel
because you dained to grace
this world with your
profound presence
for 76 years.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me dare to be
naked and vulnerable
with my experiences,
with this crushing love
I cannot escape
nor would I even try,
because you came
into this life and loved me
for awhile and now dance
among the stars.
And thank you, God,
that LOVE never dies.
Amen
***
04/23/2024
Thought for the Day
It's not rocker science, guys.
How hard is it to be aware
of what is going on
inside of you?
Your unique experience =
your truth, the ability to be
present, attentive, loving
and supportive toward you.
You came here to deliver
the light into our world
through your own
unique experience.
This is your truth.
Doesn't get much simpler
than that.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me live my experience
and be brave enough
to share it with my world.
I will no longer hide
my light under a bushel.
Amen
***
04/22/2024
Thought for the Day
Always remember that it is
never about the so-called other.
It is about how I feel
in the presence of the other.
Life is literally about
always being aware
of your own inner experience.
No one can or does have
any influence over that
but you.
That, my dear, is entirely
your creation.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me stay on
my side of the street today.
Amen
***
04/21/2024
Thought for the Day
Listen to the birds
sing their song of love
to you today.
There is a world out there
that has been waiting for you
to let it love you, filling you
with the very light of life.
So let the doors to your heart
open wide...and let all the love
both wiithin and without,
find refuge within
your own precious heart.
***
Prayer for the Day
Let the door to this heart
swing open wide,
providing the love of life
the home wiithin me
that it has been
waiting for.
Amen
***
04/20/2024
Thought for the Day
.
Beloved, you were not born
to suffer. No one was.
Where there is suffering,
you are not telling
the truth.
You are not living
your truth.
You are denying
yourself the gift of living
in complete alignment
with the soul, not some past
version of you, nor a future
version, but you, sweet you,
exactly as you are now.
When you can accept
and love that version of you,
you are entirely free.
We are not talking about
some ideal you have concocted
between your own ears
because someone else
claimed to be an authority
on who and how you
should be.
Because where there is freedom,
you are delivering
your own unique truth
into this world,
the truth of your experience,
as it is.
Who can challenge what is
true for you when you
are authentically aligned
with your own True North?
This, dear one, is why you
were born.
This is what truth is: your truth,
the truth of your experience.
Not someone else's version
of who you should be
or how your life is supposed
to measure up.
In the preence of truth,
your willingness to be you
through and through,
truth opens the door
of naked vulnerability.
And in the presence of such
vulnerability, you are free
to receive the outpouring
of grace and to do so
abundantly.
***
Prayer for the Day
Wherever there is suffering
in my experience, let me
be honest with myself
about where I am
being unfaithful to me
by lying to myself.
Amen
***
04/19/2024
Thought for the Day
.
Find your own unique way
to be you and do you,
beloved.
It's your authenticity
that makes you, you.
Share your own beautiful
heart as only you can,
for this is how the light
gets uniquely shared
through you
with our world.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me be a bringer
of light as only I can.
Amen
***
04/18/2024
Thought for the Day
.
What then is freedom?
I know that it is something
for which every heart yearns,
but what is ir really?
What does it boil down to?
Freedom is a naturally
arising state which is
the fruit of being able to
authentically live your own life,
following your own heart,
and no longer placing
any value whatsoeever
on what the people
around you happen to
think or feel about that.
All hail to those who march
to the beat of their own drum!
***
Prayer for the Day
I give thanks that I
am forever
free.
Amen

Thought for the Day
.
You are not God's biggest
mistake.
God doesn't make mistakes.
You are part of a perfection
which cannot be sullied or
marred in any way.
You have always been
on your soul's journey.
You have never taken
a wrong turn, made a misstep
or messed a single
thing up.
You have played your part
perfectly by design.
Everything you have ever
felt, thought, said or done
has led you here, has led
you to these words and
this moment.
Now I'd call that a miracle.
Wouldn't you?
***
Prayer for the Day
May the soothing salve
of love saturate every cell
of my being today,
and may I extend this same
grace to all I see
and experience.
Amen

Thought for the Day

Take a breath, my dear.
Do not despair.
Your path was chosen for you
long before time began.
Trust in its perfection.
Your miracle is awaiting
you.
Welcome it.
You are not alone
and you never have been.

Prayer for the Day
Today I will open my heart
to everything and trust
that all is always well.

Thought for the Day
Do you have the courage
to love the one you are with
today?
You are the only one
you are ever truly with,
my dear, and you are
with yourself 24/7/365.
Because truth be told,
what happens in your life
is always a reflection
on how deeply and
consistently you love
and accept yourself.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me grow to be
my own most adoring
and devoted fan.

04/14/2024
Thought for the Day
Why waste time trying to fix,
change or heal the past, when it is
only this precious moment
in which you dwell?
The past happened.
It's over. There's no changing
what happened.
So why allow it to influence
your present?
Let it go. Let it go and move on.
It is this moment which counts.
An idea so grand that
it is worthy of sitting with
today with a sober
and humble heart.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me be fully here
and keep on moving on.
Amen
***
04/13/2024
Thought for the Day
This is the usual scenario.
You start to feel icky,
agitated, uncomfortable.
Anger, outrage & hurt feelings
are presenting themselves.
This is truly interfering
with your peace.
Will you hop on that
old familiar hamster wheel
once again?
You begin to ruminate on
all the times you have
experienced similar feelings
of pain & discomfort with this
particluar individual or in
situations which were
similar to this.
Aaaahhhhaaah!
The mind tells you that
the solution is to distance
yourself from the person
or situation.
"This is the most loving
and supportive thing to do
for myself."
When the real opportunity
is to be deeply present,
to be loving, kind and gentle
with the feelings and the precious
being who is feeling them.
Don't get back on
that hamster wheel!
Stand in the sunlight
and invite what is here
to receive the gift of grace
along with you.
Because the simple truth
is that this is the instant in which
freedom lies waiting for you
to truly show up for yourself
in the biggest way.
Beloved, don't forget
why you are here.
You were born into this body
and this particular lifestream
so that you could learn to
love yourself and what is
back to unobscurated light.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me to truly be here
for myself in the largest
of ways today and every
day.
Avoiding nothing.
Embracing everything.

Thought for the Day
Choose to live consciously.
Accept what comes as part
of your soul's journey.
Always remember that
you are a Divine Being
and you always have been.
Trust that everything is always
unfolding in Divine Order.
This is the essence of peace
and a life of FREEDOM
and joy which is
filled to overflowing.
In other words, the natural
state.
Your natural state of being.

04/11/2024
Thought for the Day
Here is a very simple distillation
of the meaning of life...
Trust the life which is yours
to live.
Trust every single bit of it.
Every experience offers you
the gift of FREEDOM
if you are willing to receive it.
Every single instant is
an opportunity to resist
or accept.
One way of experiencing
brings the experience
of suffering, while the other
offers you the GIFT of peace.
The choice is the only thing
which is up to you.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me trust the life
which is mine to live.

04/10/2024
Thought for the Day
The totality of all that God is
is equally present
within everything that is.
Everyone and everything
always has this same
Infinite potential available
to them in its entirety
in every moment of their lives.
Thus, you are the only one
who can place limitations
upon yourself.
Look at some of the countless
beings who found complete
liberation in the midst
of some pretty difficult
situations and experiences.
Etty Hillesum, Viktor Frankl,
Mata Amritanandamayi, and
Ramana Maharshi to name a few.
There is nothing broken, wrong
or missing in you, nor in
anyone else for that matter.
If you have the same access
to the Infinite that everyone has.
Why hide your light
under a bushel?
Why continue to limit yourself?
***
Prayer for the Day
As I go about the business
of living my life today,
help me remember
that the Infinite dwells
unceasingly within me.
Something so much bigger
and wiser will live me today
if I consciously let it.
Amen
***
04/09/2024
Thought for the Day
Every single part of you
is worthy of kindness,
worthy of your understanding,
your acceptance,
your unconditional love
and inclusivity.
What would happen
in this world if we could
recognize the same innate
inviolability and sanctity
in everyone and everything?
What if we could see,
feel and experience it
in Mother Earth as well?
Would not this world
shift on its axis
in the space between
two heart beats made
consciously one?
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me remain so inclusive
of everything today
that I experience no problems
or obstacles.
God is in everything.
God is in everyone.
Amen
***
04/08/2024
Thought for the Day
Let's talk about
some inconvenient truths,
shall we?
No one is going to come
to save you.
No one is going to come
and rescue you.
The siutation is as it is.
You are the way you are.
And they are the way they are.
No one needs fixing, healing
or changing.
It is time to stop projecing
your own incompletions
onto your world and playing
victim
If you didn't already have
a button, old wounds
from the past prior to this happening,
nothing could disturb your peace.
There is a good reason why
things are unfolding as they are.
It is time for you to pull yourself
up by the bootstraps
and save yourself.
Clear Seeing paves the way.
It is the light strewn path
upon which you walk to
FREEDOM.
You are the only one who can
do this for yourself
and that is what you came here
to do.
***
Prayer for the Day
Grant me the courage
to let the chips fall
where they may
and follow in the steps
where my heart leads,
doing what I came here
to do.
Amen
***
04/07/2024
Thought for the Day
ONENESS is an all-inclusive
state of being, an all-inclusiver
relationship with nothing
short of e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.
Let this be the thought
which walks in the space
before you today.
And let it guide you
to the thought which says,
"This too is part of me."
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me both remember
and experience this day
that all that I meet,
all that I interact with
and everyone and everything
I touch is none other than
my Self.
And then may I treat it
with the loving-kindness and TLC
of which it is forever worthy,
being forever part of me.
Amen
***
04/06/2024
Thought for the Day
Watch yourself carefully
and objectively today.
Can you see the difference
between responses which
come from your programming
and your conditioning,
response that feel inauthentic
to you, from responses which
feel genuinely authentic
to you because they are
completely aligned with
what is true for you?
Which you rather follow?
The world's version of normal
so that you can fit in, or
or would it feel better
to follow your own
beating heart?
Does the world leave you
feeling empty, hollow and sad?
Are you ready for more?
***
Prayer for the Day
The world leaves me
so bleak, so barren,
so numb and without
hope.
When was the last time
that I felt genuinely happy
for no reason at all?
I yearn for the real.
This heart aches to touch
something real, to feel
whole again instead of some
broken down and lost
version of myself.
Today I run toward
my destiny and all that
God has in store for me.
Amen
***
04/05/2024
Thought for the Day
Here is the simplest
of all truths....
You do not need to be
anyway other than
how you are right now
in order to have
it all.
You don't even have to
believe or accept this
for it to be true.
You simply have to
allow it.
You, as you are, beloved,
are the key which unlocks

Thought for the Day
How much more peaceful
and simpler would your life be
if you could simply accept as gospel
that everything that happens
and the way that it happens
is by Divine Design?
What would your life then
feel like?
Lay your weapons down.
The battle is over.
God's got this.
Everything, and I do mean
everything, is unfolding
exactly as it should.
***
Prayer for the Day
Today I will yield to
the unfolding of life
and consciously choose
to trust what is.
Amen

Thought for the Day
In the end, what does
being willing to receive
actually mean?
It means finally allowing
yourself to be the love
that you are.
Everything in your life
is by Divine design,
beloved.
Can you open your heart
and your entire being
to all that you are,
can you cease holding
love at bay?
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me realize
that no part of me
or my life
is a mistake.
I am the way I am
by Divine design.
I am supposed to be
me exactly as I am.
I am the perfect vehicle
for giving love expression
in this life as only me
and my life, as it is,
can do..
For this I bow
in profound awe
and humble gratitude.
Today I say yes
to my life.
Amen

Thought for the Day
Only you can provide
yourself the safety, the
security, love and comfort
for which your heart
both yearns and searches
and has done so all
of your days.
And when you finally
give yourself this GIFT,
which only you can do,
you will wield a power
in this world which is
invincible.
It is not anyone else's job
to appreciate you,
to value you, to love
and respect you.
It is yours.
And that is precisely why
you have never really
found it.
You have been running
from yourself, my dear.
Which means that
you have been looking
in the wrong place
all along.
***
Prayer for the Day
Help me real eyes
that I am the doorway
to the FREEDOM for which
my heart yearns.
Amen

Thought for the Day
Self-inquiry does not
and cannot involve
thought.
Many mistake reflection
and silent deliberation
for inquiry, but they
are not the same.
One cannot inquire
through thought.
Why?
Because one cannot
transcend the mind
with the mind.
True self-inquiry relies
upon searching or looking for
that which lies beyond
thought and upon feeling.
It relies on direct
experience.
Direct experience
is the conscious contact
with that which lies beyond
what words could ever
communicate through
language.
***
Prayer for the Day
Thank you for the GIFT
of presence.
Amen
