You're

You’re pathetic.  You can’t do it.  That will never work.  It’s been done before.  You’re a loser.  You’re stupid.  All that chases us, all that is feared, all that we run from is powerless over us.  If only WE make that choice.  You, not anyone else, authors YOUR life story.  Write what YOU believe.  NOW!

Regardless of where you have been, where you are or what you are doing you are not pathetic.  You can do it.  It can work.  Despite history.  You are not a loser.  And you are not stupid. 

Billboards, ads, movies, articles, social media, shows, peers all have great influence about how we view, feel about and think about ourselves.  Strip that away to the single core person we are without homes, clothes, jobs, money, influence, power, and cars and what is left?  What matters most?  Keeping the most important thing, the most important thing…YOU! 

You are the only who can make you number one!  Your family can’t do it.  Your partner can’t do it.  Your friends can’t do it.   Your co-workers can’t do it, and your pet’s can’t do it (although they sure try!)  You have to love you, believe in you and trust you before you can expect OR let anyone else to do the same.

You are beautiful.  You are loved.  You are worthy.

4 things...

The 4 things every child needs are love, food, sleep, and soap & water.  As adults I don’t know that we are much different.  LOVE-Love comes from many different people in many different ways. FOOD-The good-for-us-kind that will help us stay healthy. SLEEP-More than just naps. WATER-A little soap doesn’t hurt!

As the song goes there IS a season to plant, to build, to dance, to embrace and to love.  We make earth a bit like heaven each time we share of ourselves with others.  We can be the change we seek in this world by doing, not just saying.  By giving, not just taking.  By listening, not just talking.  By listening, not just hearing.  By living, not just breathing.

Sunday October 2, 2011

And I offer the following prayer this morning...

"Forgiving, Loving, Caring, Teaching, and Healing parent, I thank you for the many blessings in my life and in this world.  For my family of friends who are dealing with life threatening illnesses I ask that you immediately touch the care givers and the family with your healing hand of love and comfort.  For the rest of us left in the world I ask for a miracle, the miracle of healing so those that can see, will see what is really in front of them.  For those that can touch, to really feel what is in front of them.  And for those who can talk, will use words of compassion and love."  Amen.

Good morning and Happy Saturday to you!

Today is October 1st at marks the beginning of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  It was some many years ago when my mother got sick at the office.  I took her to the doc that day, she never gets sick!  He did a chest x-ray to be sure that she didn’t have pneumonia.  She didn’t have a chest cold or pneumonia, but she did have a spot on her breast xray that the doctor didn’t like.  Two weeks later she had a radical mastectomy.  Today, mom is 93 years old and living life with a great big smile.

I have many things in life to be grateful for, she is certainly one of them.  Today I ask men and women to examine themselves and be mindful of those who may need reminding or help AND to offer a prayer for the blessings you have had in your life.
