The moment one gives close attention to anything even a blade of grass, it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself – Henry Miller
This week I invite you to slow down and be grateful. This month when thanksgiving is a way of life, find the joy within and shout out in gratitude for indeed, God is here, right here, right now, inside each breath, loving YOU. Allow yourself to feel it. There is a blessing within the process if we allow ourselves to see it. It gives us time to pay attention to the blade of grass or tree branches against the sky and thereby move within and find the joys of Spirit.

Recently I spoke at a sweet sixteen event. The mother contacted me to add a bit of “spiritual essence” to this lavish occasion. As I pondered this moment I contemplated how much the rights of passage traditions are not practiced consistently in the western culture.
I would like share with you the speech I delivered in the hope that you would share this with every young woman and parent you come across in your own circles.

We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear, LOVE is our true nature. So where does our fears come from you might ask? Perhaps some of our fears are brought on by our own experiences, by what someone has told us, by what you’ve read in the papers. Maybe some fears are valid, like walking alone in a dangerous part of town at two o’clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation, you won’t need to live in fear of it. Do you?

“If the mind wants to comprehend reality it will have to come out of the past and the future” – Osho
We spent some time discussing in our noonday meditation sessions on Tuesday what does it really mean to pray audaciously. We open the call with the quote above from Osho to really bring us present to the NOW moment. You see we cannot really begin to understand anything, and I mean anything at all, until we allow ourselves to release the baggage, burdens or thoughts that keep us bound to the past of future.
Are you courageous enough to transform belief into realization?

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.

Perhaps the most prominent thought on most individuals mind is finances. As a country we have been growing through “economic turmoil” for some time. This turmoil has escalated to other countries and as some would suggest this planet. It is by far the most talked about, thought about, fear-filled aspect of our self – our financial health/unfoldment. Our financial unfoldment addresses our ability to purchase / exchange with ease & grace, to meet and often exceed our needs and wants with the use of “money”.

“You are not free to choose the curriculum, or even the form in which you will learn it. You are free, however, to decide when you want to learn it” – ACIM
In the moments of clarity and remembrance of our true identity we tap into the awareness that there is really only ONE job and this job is to TEACH. We are all teachers!!
