The Gift of the New

Do you find yourself in a strange land? Literally or figuratively? Relax. It's okay not to know. It's okay to ask for directions and instructions. It's okay to go with the flow, listen and learn. It's okay to explore and experiment. What will you find in this wonderful new place? Whether it's a new city or a part of your inner experience becoming newly conscious, relax and enjoy. What a gift!

Blessings

Whenever you are sad, or downtrodden, or in pain, please remember that blessings are always available to you. Please remember that your life's plan includes a use for these low times. Please also remember that you can choose to grow and learn without the low times. You choose. So, right now, at the deepest level, choose joyful life lessons. Choose blessings.

Acceptance, Happiness, Peace

Do not confuse tolerance or resignation for acceptance, or numbness for peace, or pleasure for happiness. Pleasure arises from happiness, not the other way around. And happiness and peace naturally arise from acceptance.

Dear Friends

Dear Friends, Kathie here.
I apologize for the sparsity of posts here over the last month or so. Bear with me and I will no doubt begin again. In the meantime, blessings to you and yours. Maybe you would enjoy re-reading some of the old posts. The lessons are simple and few, really, when it comes down to it. Love yourself, others and the life you have chosen. Be still, breathe, and notice. Accept all that is without resistance. Open up to the guidance available to you. Choose joy and peace.
I remain your sister in spirit.

Say Hello

Say "Hello!" Say "Isn't it a beautiful day?!" Say "It was great seeing you again!" Say "Ain't life grand?!?" Say "Aaaaahhhh, that was nice." Say "I'm so lucky!" Say "Wow!" Say "Thank you!" Say "You're wonderful!" Say "Wasn't that fun!??" It works.

Love Abides

Because you are hungry, you eat. Because you are thirsty, you drink. Because you love.... You see? Love requires no accompaniment, no response, no further action. Love is, plain and simple. Love abides. Love abides.

Every Moment Is Alive

Just be gentle with yourself and others. Be accepting and kind. Don't look to someone else for your happiness or pleasure. Every moment is alive with possibility. Drink it in. Drink it in.
