CONSISTENCY COMPOUNDS

Consistency compounds,
this message rings in my head.
It reminds me to be consistent
in the performance of my
spiritual practices.
So every day I take time to think
and reflect on
my  thought for the day
and then I write in my gratitude journal,
inspiration journal,
and intention journal
It is no longer something
I think about doing,
it is something I just do.
It is like breathing
or brushing my teeth.
It no longer is about me
being intentional about doing it.
It is about me feeling
like I am missing something
when I do not.
Consistency compounds in my life.
The blessings compound
the growth compounds.
the understanding compounds
and the testimony I offer to others
compounds.
There is a blessing in the
repetition.
The doing the same thing
over and over,
but knowing the blessings
of consistently working
at being more in tune with
the Ultimate
continues to help me
grow and evolve.
All because
consistency compounds

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Never stop working to make your dream a reality

GIFTING MYSELF

This holiday season
we give to others,
to organizations,
but rarely to ourselves.
This year I am giving to myself.
This year I am giving
the gift of forgiveness.
I am letting go of resentment,
anger,
jealousy
resentment, and
any other negative and toxic
emotion in my body.
I am giving myself the power
to heal as I release
the negative and toxic energies
Ihave stored in my system.
I am saying no to anything that
is not of love, light, and positive energy.
I would say no
to a bowl of poison,
but say yes to it when I
hold on to the energies
which are toxic.
Tis the season to give
myself a cleaner diet
filled with gifts from the Divine
which are nurturing and loving
and wrapped in grace.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Your attitude and drive can get you where you want to go

SONG OF THE WEEK

This morning I found this song called Hello Hurricane. It reminds me that no matter what storm we are facing in our lives, it cannot silence our love. “Hello hurricane / I’ve got doors and windows boarded up / All your dead end fury is not enough” https://youtu.be/7Era-UhFAeQ

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Life is too short to waste it being negative

FANTASY

We all fantasize,
but how many of us
fantasize
about being of greater service
to the one we call our Higher Power
What do you fantasize about?
Is it about fighting for equality
amongst all of humanity?
Or is it about working to bring about
world peace?
Perhaps it is about practicing patience
or compassion with all of humanity.
Perhaps it is about promoting
healing and wholeness
May we open
our heart, mind, and soul to
fantasizing about
making it on earth
as it is in Heaven
or at least
as we fantasize
it to be.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Do you have what it takes to succeed?

KINDNESS

Piety used to make me think
of those who were holier than thou.
Then I learned that piety meant pious
which meant
kind
Kindess
is about showing
grace,
compassion,
gentleness,
love,
and concern for other
Kindness
is about the body, mind, and soul.
It is about our words
and our actions
being one
Kindness
is about being
loving,
giving,
caring,
empathetic and
generous
Kindness
is about doing unto others
as you would have them
do unto you.
Kindness
is unconditional.
It is about giving
without expectations.
It is about what we
experience
as much as what others do
Kindness
is about blessing
and being blessed.
It is all about being kind.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Do you have the right attitude?

SONG OF THE WEEK

I have always appreciated this song which calls you to celebrate being your best authentic self. I learned a few years ago that she began the True Colors Fund in 2008 to help fight homelessness among queer young people.

BRAVE

I want to hear you be brave,
Sara Bareilles sang.
I want us to silence
the voices of fear,
the voices which tell us
what we cannot do and
that encourage us to fail.
When we release the fear
that has tortured us
and kept the sunlight
from shining through us.
What if we stopped listening
to the insecure part of self
and were brave.
Brave is about
staring down the enemy
and finding our way out
of the lies and the chains
which keep us in cages of fear.
Brave is about
breaking the silence
and speaking our truth
and letting the world
experience us for the fullness
of who we are.
Brave is about
not caring what others think
when we step out in faith
and express ourselves
to the fullness of who we are.
Brave is about
amazing ourselves
when we release the fear
and speak the words
which have been fighting to
be spoken and heard
Brave is about
us being the spiritual warriors
we were created to be;
the artists of our life
who know how to paint
the life
we were created to live.
If just for today
be brave

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Positive energy is contagious

EMPATHY

When I think of
Empathy
I tend to think of
empathizing
with another person’s sorrow,
disappointment, and
pain.
I think of tasting the salt
in someone else’s tears
Empathy is
about oneness between us.
It means I can feel with you
and be in oneness with you
in good times and bad
I can taste the sweetness
in your joy as well as
the salt in your tears.
Empathy is
about me journeying with you
and thinking about when I was
in that place or situation
and how it felt.
Empathy is
about the intimacy between us
and between us and the Divine
which connect us.
it is about knowing
someone is with us
in good times and bad
Empathy is
about sharing
about caring
about being intimate
about allowing the Divine in me
to connect with the Divine in you.
Empathy is
about us connecting
as one
in good times and bad
because we care
and know we are
both images of the Divine.
