God said, I am made whole by your life. Each soul, each soul completes me. – Hafiz
Sometimes as we move up the ladder of successful living, it becomes more and more important that we be liked and admired. Our ego finds it advantageous to say and do what pleases others at the sacrifice of our own authenticity. We become people pleasers and lets face it, it does seem to have its rewards. If I agree with you and do what you like, I’ve convinced myself that you will love me and accept me. Then I’m home free or so I think.

“Let us live in the eternal presence of God’s happy smile…folded in the arms of Love forever” – Ernest Holmes
Ernest Holmes also said “the journey back (home) should be fraught with happiness and joyful expectation for we shall be met with a smile from the Universe and shall be folded in the arms of love forever.” I know that I am met in each and every moment with the open arms of God welcoming me home and I know I am home wherever I go. No matter how far I wander off from my center. How separate and apart I feel from the love of God I just turn my thoughts back to my heart, the home of God, my heaven in the midst of chaos and I know I am enfolded in Its loving arms.

Love, your neighbor as yourself. No other commandment is greater than these – Mark 12:31
I was in a group meeting some time last year when I found myself being completely triggered by what some one was saying. Immediately my ego flared up into judgment mode about this particular individual in the group. I was labeling them as insecure, having an agenda etc. Just to quote mildly. My mind rose with my own self defense mechanisms of intellectualizing – justifying my feelings.

This morning I was reminded again to listen deeply to others when they share. Simply because we just never know where others are coming from when they share with us. Just offering a space of safety and reassurance is enough to comfort hearts and heal minds.

Breathe this in….”we are here for the evolution of our soul”…
One day I was sitting in my favorite neighborhood park taking in all the beauty around me and offering my appreciation for this moment of bliss when suddenly I heard a man’s voice loudly saying, come over here and let me listen to you. I opened my eyes to see what was happening – one homeless man greeting another.
