"Life
offers miracles
and mysteries.
We all have a
long list of
"why and how did
this happen?"
Life is ever
changing and
surprising us. Nothing in life
is permanent or
guaranteed. Life
is precious. Live it well. Let gratitude,
hope and love
anchor you in
peace today. In
spite of any
changes,
suffering or
stress in your
life and in this
world---it is a
choice to
rejoice. It is a
daily choice to
focus on your
blessings as you
relax into the
acceptance that
you cannot
control other
people or
circumstances.
With a refreshed
mind and a
grateful heart
you can
experience a
peace that
surpasses all
understanding.
You can learn to
be comfortable
with the
unknown. You can
stop clinging to
false security
and respond to
changes in your
life without
anger, denial or
familiar habits
of escape or
isolation.
I
work constantly
on developing my
faith, courage,
self-worth, my
sense of humor
and ability to
flow and let go.
I offer on my
web site a
prayer for
comfort.
Hopefully it
will bless those
who are “going
through”
(divorce, loss
of a job, etc.)
As I wrote in
my book,
You Are Too
Blessed to Be
Stressed,
“Life is both
difficult and
divine.” It is
human nature to
try to seek
pleasure and to
avoid pain and
change.
Have you noticed
how fear can
cause you to
shut down, hold
back, isolate,
become sick and
close your eyes,
heart and mind?
A mind full of
fear causes us
to feel
miserable,
vulnerable and
like a victim
without hope. A
mind full of
fear has tunnel
vision focusing
only on the door
that closed.
Fear never
allows us to see
the other doors
of
possibilities.
(God has not
given us such a
spirit of fear.
2 Timothy 1:7).
To cope with change, I challenge myself to stay awake instead of
blaming, numbing
myself or
turning in the
opposite
direction.
Walking by faith
and not by sight
into new doors
is an attitude
that helps me to
develop a spirit
of hope, a mind
of possibilities
and a heart of
joy and
gratitude.
Nothing in life
is permanent or
guaranteed. Life
is precious and
unpredictable.
Life is bitter
and life
is sweet.
I offer my
book
“Shift Happens”
as a tool to
help cultivate
your mind with
seeds of faith,
courage, hope,
peace and
adaptability." ~
