“If you can’t do something about the situation in your life, go be a blessing to someone else.” Joyce Meyer
We spend so much time worrying about things we often can’t do anything about. We obsess about family and friends and wish they would change. We wake up stressing about things that haven’t happened yet. We worry for the state of our country, the world, for the planet, for our children.
Something powerful happens when we move from the place of needing to get something to being willing to give. The best place to start is being willing to listen. Listen to the experiences of others. Listen to their stories, their pain, their process. Listen without attachment to an outcome. Practice compassion and patience.
Then when you are ready to move outside your comfort zone, a good question to ask yourself is: “How can I be of service for the highest good today? Please guide me to think the thoughts, speak the words and take the actions that will allow me to be love, and to bring that love into service.” Then observe everything from that moment forward as a sign responding to that question.
When we give in service, we give in love. And love lifts us out of fear. In his book, The Kingdom, Paul Selig shares, “Any encounter with fear can become an opportunity to say “Thank you, no. This is not a requirement for me. This is not the dance I wish to partake in.” Any encounter with love becomes the opportunity to re-know each other, re-know any possibility in a higher way. When you are in a dance with love, you are in an encounter with God.”
You are needed during this very important time. Some are needed to be in prayer and meditation, others are needed to give hugs or to hold signs, others are needed to serve in positions of influence. Some are needed to raise a family, to care for others, or to stand up for those who cannot speak for themselves.
You are needed. Your gifts are needed. Your presence is needed. Your love and peace are needed. Ask yourself, “Where can I be a blessing today?”

“We can stop trying to hard to win love and power and influence because on some days we will have those things and on other days we won’t.” – Marianne Williamson, A Woman’s Worth
As I approached seat 6D on my flight, I smiled and told the gentleman he was sitting in my assigned window seat. He smiled back and said he was sure he was in his assigned seat. I looked again at the diagram on the overhead bin and yes, 6D was the window seat, and it was the one listed on my boarding pass. He started looking for his boarding pass. “Do you mean they gave us the same seat?” he mumbled, as he searched for his boarding pass. I did not want to hold up the long line of passengers and quickly said, “You know what, it doesn’t matter.” I hastily stowed my luggage under the aisle seat and let the line move forward. It was no big deal.
Or was it? Was I just conned into giving away my window seat? Why was I in such a hurry to give it up? I reflected on how many times I didn’t speak up when someone got in front of me in line or ignored my request. I remembered times I felt invisible to those around me. One part of me felt that giving up my seat wasn’t an issue. It was a short flight, and I had a book to read. Another part of me was livid because I felt manipulated, controlled, disrespected. Was I just trying to be nice?
We all want to be liked, accepted, and included. As a result, we don’t always say what we’re thinking. We often hold back from telling the whole truth so we don’t hurt someone’s feelings. We go out of our way to do things for others so they will approve of us. We suppress what we really think. We hold our tongues. We were taught: Little girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice. We are told to be seen and not heard. Don’t argue. Don’t yell. Don’t jump around so much. Don’t talk back. Don’t be greedy. Don’t get dirty. For goodness sake, just be nice!
We can learn to set boundaries and not be in such a hurry to give up our own good for the sake of others. It takes patience, as we learn to speak up for ourselves. The passenger in 6D was not the cause of my pain. If I felt empowered, I would be free to speak up and hold my ground knowing that was my seat. I would speak my truth rather than silence myself.
Instead of trying so hard to be good, why not focus on being authentic by asking for what we want, by taking care of ourselves, by standing up and speaking up. When we are authentic, we are empowered. We set an example for those around us. We step out as leaders.
It is in our feminine nature to receive, and we can begin by being willing. As Buddha said, “You yourself, as much as anyone in the entire universe, deserve your affection and love.”
Be good to yourself. You are worth it.
Affirm: I freely and joyfully ask for what I want.

“You alone are the judge of your worth and your goal is to discover infinite worth in yourself, no matter what anyone else thinks.” –Depak Chopra
After completing the eighth grade at the Catholic school I attended, I transferred to the local junior high. I had been with the same group of students since kindergarten and it was overwhelming to go to a new school. I was excited to meet a new friend there, but was so afraid she was repulsed by my mouthful of metal braces. I remember I tried to reassure her by declaring, ” I am sure you will like me better next week when my braces are off.” Ouch!
Have you noticed that those childhood insecurities seem to follow us along throughout life? That nagging voice in the back of the mind that constantly worries and stress– Am I good enough? Will I be liked? Am I okay?
Our worthiness may seem elusive if we look for validation from the outside world. Worthiness is not based on your financial portfolio, career achievement, or the car you drive. Worthiness is an inside job and a conscious connection we make knowing we are an extension of the creative energy of life itself. We are loved unconditionally just as we are.
Recognizing our worthiness lifts us into a sense of well-being. We have an inner knowing that each aspect of self— spirit, mind, body and emotions— is an intricate part of our wholeness. We experience an appreciation of this holistic nature and how it all works together for our highest good.
This sense of gratitude and appreciation expands into a powerful presence of love. Love opens us to Infinite Wisdom available to us at every moment. Wisdom is the creative spark, inspiration, and illumination that shows up just when we need it. It can appear as needed information, project support revealed or simply a connection from a friend. Wisdom is inner knowing that all is well.
Yet this can all feel elusive when we are stressed, worried and hurried in life’s busy world. It takes conscious effort to stop, listen, and allow ourselves to be nurtured and nourished.
Take time to step away from your calendar, computer and commitments. Schedule a time and place where you can renew and replenish. Hone your spiritual practice in on your sacredness. Celebrate your Oneness with the Divine. And when that nagging voice pipes up to criticize, simply reply, “STOP IT! Go Away! I choose only high vibration thoughts today.”
You are beautiful just as you are. You are worthy and powerful. You are amazing.
You are loved.

“Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible—it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.” –Barbara DeAngelis
I am still vibrating with joy after returning home from a family reunion on the east coast this past week. It was wonderful to reconnect and catch up with family and friends. We shared photos and laughed and reminisced about the past. I so enjoyed my nephew’s dog, Lily. She brings me joy and makes my heart sing
I have been paying attention to the things that bring me joy–walking in the forest, listening to the wind whisper through the trees, watching the birds perform their own magical ballet. I love connecting with friends, reading a great book, walking through a rose garden. Joy feeds my soul, raises my energy and expands my awareness.
In a time when we are experiencing so many cruel, inhumane and destructive activities in our country and around the world, taking the time to feel joy is essential to our wellbeing. While that may seem counterintuitive in the midst of pain and suffering, the opposite is true. When we find those moments of joy, even if for a moment, we raise our vibration. We are able to shift awareness and recognize that there are many people working hard to do good things. We are inspired to take action from possibilities rather than from fear. We expand compassion for ourselves and others.
Pay attention to your moments of joy, harmony, love, unity, and peace and relish those feelings. Open your heart and allow the feelings to expand. Speak words of gratitude and appreciation. Be open to possibilities.
Thich Nhat Hanh reminds us, “Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.” Joy is a pathway to love.
Know that each day, you add to the joy and love vibration around the planet. Take a moment and find your joy and bask in the love. Then please join me in sending that loving energy to those affected by the floods in Texas, to those dealing with the destruction of war, to those who are being denied freedom, and to those living in physical and emotional pain.
“I am love through the ones I see before me. I choose to see you in love. I choose to see you in your worth. I choose to see you in your right to be. I see you in your beauty, in your perfection, in your wholeness. I am love through the ones I see before me.” — Paul Selig
Thank you for expressing joy and the raising the vibration of love.

“We are at the “beyond reason” point of our evolution, meaning that the type and scope of the problems we are now confronting cannot be resolved by a mere gathering of “reasonable” people around a table.” Carolyn Myss
Carolyn Myss says that we cannot reason with Mother Nature, sanction our way through global warming, or “declare war on the melting ice caps in the Arctic in order to make them cease their melting.” We are at a crossroads in humanity.
Albert Einstein’s statement, “You cannot solve the problem at the level of the problem,” wakes us up to the fact that the challenges of the world are not going to be solved by people sitting around the table debating the best strategy. We are all being called to step up and contribute to the bettering of the world.
It is time to rise up and answer the call for greater healing.
But that doesn’t mean we have to quit our jobs, leave our homes and go in search of answers to world peace and global warming while neglecting our responsibilities. We can awaken to the fact that we each contribute to the change in the world as we deepen in consciousness. Every time we forgive someone, let go of an attachment, remove a mental block, or transcend an emotional conflict, we are raising the vibration and contributing to the consciousness of the planet.
We don’t need to know how things will change, we just need to be willing: Be willing to be held accountable for our own healing. Be willing to have the difficult conversations. Be willing to know there is a Power and Presence for Good working in our life and in all humanity.
Be willing to envision a world that works for everyone.
Affirmation: I am now choosing to think only those thoughts which will bring me peace and will align me to a higher consciousness.
