Two steps forward, one step back! I gain an hour of sunlight at the end of the day only to lose my morning ‘alarm clock’ in the beginning of the day. I feel like I was cast back into the ‘darkness‘.
How often do we take a step forward in our lives only to find ourselves two steps behind? Are we really behind or are we really just in a different place? And what is really being ‘behind‘ mean? It’s just a relative term based on some perceived reality of where we think we’re supposed to be.
Sometimes taking a step forward in our lives is really another way of taking a step behind … a step behind to see the big picture. To step forward out of the ‘trees’ so that we can see the ‘forest’ behind us. We’re no longer ‘behind‘ where we should be, but we’re exactly where we’re supposed be, because we are always in the right place, at the right time. Whenever we feel ‘behind‘ it is just Spirit’s way of telling us to go back to center.
So, go ahead, ‘Step Back’ into the Truth and ‘Spring Forward’ into the Sunlight!

Get the FUNK Out
I woke up this morning in a big ‘funk‘! What is that all about? Nothing was any different from the day before, the night before … just a brand new day to begin anew. So, why was I feeling so drained? What was underneath that feeling? What was sucking the ‘LifeForce‘ out of my body???
Our feelings are our barometer for what we’re thinking about — whether those are conscious or unconscious thoughts. Could it be that my ‘unconscious‘ tape of negative thoughts had taken over during the night and was now playing? If so … how do I stop the tape? How do I ‘Erase‘ the tape?
Is it possible for us to Rewind and ReDo? If so, How? Well, one of the best ways I know how is to STOP, BREATHE, RELEASE, and REPLACE.
Stop whatever you’re doing in that moment & take a deep breath. Release whatever negative thought, feeling or mood you’re in. Replace it with a ‘Life Affirming’ positive thought. Even if it means you have to ‘Fake It ’til you Make It’ !
The more you do this, the more positive tracks you’ll be laying down on those ‘unconscious‘ tapes. You’ll Erase all that past programming and Replace them with only thoughts that support you and fill you with Energy.
So, the next time you feel drained, Move! Shake your body! Rid yourself of all those non-supporting thoughts and ‘Get the FUNK Out’ !!!

Rainy Days and Mondays
… Always get me down. Remember that song! ( or, am I showing my age)!
Rainy days and Mondays used to get me down all the time. I lived my life based on the weather and the day of the week. Sunny days - great mood. Rainy - not so good. Mondays - terrible; Saturdays - fantastic! I was a victim of my own moods. I was raised in an environment that taught me rain meant ‘dreary‘ and work-week meant ‘drudgery‘!
Thank goodness I re-created my own , more uplifting beliefs!
So, when I woke up this morning to the sound of raindrops I focused on how ’soothing’ and ‘therapuetic’ it was. The sound of nature coming through my window to welcome the day; welcome the week. I get to choose how I start my day; how I start my week. So on this ‘Rainy Day and Monday’ I choose to believe in beauty and love; opportunity and prosperity; peace and harmony.
What’s your ‘Rainy Day Belief’!

Hump Day
Wednesday - better known as ‘Hump Day’.
When I was in school or had a ‘job‘ to go to, it had a lot of significance in my life. Thank God it’s Wednesday - almost the weekend! You’d start the day and feel like you still had the whole week ahead of you and by the end of the day, you felt like you had the whole weekend to look forward to!
In our ‘Prosperity’ class one of our affirmations is ” There are no Alps“. There are no mountains to climb, no hurdles to get over, no ‘humps‘ to get to the other side of. Every day is another opportunity to experience the fullness of living in the moment, in the NOW. Whenever we’re focused on getting over the ‘hump‘, we stop being focused on what’s right in front of us.
And right in front of us is what’s right inside of us; SPIRIT. And Spirit doesn’t know about humps. So live every day as if it were the weekend and leave the ‘humps ‘ for the camels!

Porridge Today
One of my favorite videos is ‘Wallace and Gromit A Close Shave'. In one particular scene in the beginning of the story, Wallace declares when he wakes up that it’s “Tuesday Gromit, Porridge Today“! Then he is slipped into his clothes, down a chute into the kitchen for his breakfast. He’s an ‘Inventor‘ - you know!
Well - it’s Tuesday today & I can’t help but saying ‘It’s Tuesday Gromit - Porridge Today’ and make my OWN declaration by claiming what is mine NOW! (Today it was oatmeal - not porridge ).
What do you really OWN NOW about your life? What declarations do you make every day for yourself?
You’re just like Wallace. We all are - for we’re all Inventors - Inventors of our OWN life! So - go on. Make a declaration and eat your Porridge Today!

The Hat's the Thing
As I was leaving my house this morning, in the pouring rain, I grabbed my Garden Hat in lieu of an umbrella. This big floppy hat was just the ticket to keep me dry & keep my hands free. As I kissed my son goodbye, he looked up at me and said, “Mom - you look terrible. Why are you wearing that hat”?
Hmmm, I thought. Do I really look that bad? Should I care? Should I listen to his ‘point-of-view’? Well, I thought I looked pretty good, and since I wasn’t about to enter any beauty contests, I thanked him for sharing and left for the store.
Now, at the store I had a very different experience with my hat. A man coming down the aisle came right up to me and said, “You really make that hat look good!” Wow! Was he talking to me? Was he seeing the same hat? Do I really look good? Should I care? Should I listen to his ‘point-of-view’? I thanked him for his compliment and with a big smile on my face I continued on my way.
Who’s right? My son, a stranger, or ….. myself??? How often to we let the ‘outside’ world tell us what to think about ourselves on the ‘inside’ ! Let your own light shine - no matter what the world says - whether it’s raining outside - it’s always bright and sunny in Spirit!
The ‘Hats‘ the thing! Wear yours proudly!

Wrap Yourself in Loving Warmth
Self-love is not Selfishness; it is Selflessness. To be Selfless is to be centered in Oneness. To be centered in Oneness is to be centered in Spirit. To be centered in Spirit is to be centered in Love.
We are always wrapped in ‘Loving Warmth’ when we are wrapped in Spirit.
We are always wrapped in ‘Loving Warmth’ when we are wrapped in Spirit.
