Thanks For Everything!

November 28, 2013

Dear Friends,

The fourth Thursday in November is when citizens of the United States celebrate Thanksgiving Day.  It’s a day when we express gratitude for all the things in our lives that we really do appreciate, but often forget to be consciously thankful for, such as food, family, and friends.

Well, here’s a challenge for you:  Can you also be thankful for the things in your life that you do not appreciate?  Can you be thankful for the people in your life that you hold resentments against?  Can you be thankful for the circumstances in your life that have brought you discomfort, or even pain?

Yes, you can . . . if you see those challenges as opportunities to discover where your blocks to loving are.  Yes, you can . . . if you see those challenges as opportunities to heal wounds you may have forgotten you have.  Yes, you can . . . if you see those challenges as opportunities to remember how precious life is, and to renew your appreciation for it.

When you look at the challenges in your life as opportunities to mature emotionally and spiritually, everything that occurs in your life can be viewed as a blessing.  And blessings are something that you are thankful for, right?

So this Thanksgiving, next Thanksgiving, and every day in between, be thankful not only for the “good” in your life, but also for what you judge to be “not so good.”

Be thankful for the entire experience of life, including the opportunities it gives you to grow in wisdom and compassion.

Be thankful for the entire experience of life, including the opportunities it gives you to grow in your ability to love others—and to love yourself—unconditionally.

Be thankful for the entire experience of life, including the opportunities it gives you to remember that life itself is a sacred gift—a gift that is meant to be enjoyed to its fullest, and never taken for granted.

I invite you to join me in giving thanks today and every day . . . for everything.

When The Divine Flow Leads You In An Unexpected Direction

November 12, 2013

Dear Friends,

The divine flow is continually guiding you toward the effortless fulfillment of your heart’s desires.  And it is fairly easy to follow that flow when it leads you in a direction you expect.  But what if it points you in a direction that is totally unexpected?  What if your intuition or some other divine sign or synchronicity seems to be leading you away from your chosen destination—guiding you, even, in the opposite direction of your dream or desire?  What then?

No doubt about it, it can be a real challenge to follow the flow when you are being guided in a direction you don’t understand. However, it is much easier to trust the flow when you know some of reasons why it may point you in a direction that defies logic and reason.

I recently posted four of those reasons on my Facebook Page called Living Life in the Divine Flow.  Here are all four of those reasons:

So, my friends, is there something you want to have, do, or be in life?  Is there a dream you want to realize, a desire you want to fulfill, or a goal you want to accomplish?  Then put your faith in the divine flow, and trust it to guide you to your highest good . . . even if it leads you in a direction you never, ever, planned on or expected.
