I was recently reading a book to an elderly lady who is from Europe and has a hard time understanding English at times. The man in the book was talking about his Faith. She said "What is Faith?". First of all, I had never met an adult who didn't understand the word faith. I had no idea how to translate Faith in her native language. I told her that Faith is believing in something or someone without actually seeing it or having proof that it exists. She didn't understand. Faith is trusting that something that you are looking forward to will happen without knowing for sure. She still didn't understand. Faith is knowing in your heart that there is a higher power than us even though we have no logical proof. I just didn't seem to get through to her. I continued to give her examples to try to help her understand. Still nothing.
Could it be possible that this woman had gone through her entire life without having faith in anyone or anything, without ever trusting. It is almost sad to think about. She is someone who lets fear rule her life, so maybe she has no faith, in anything, therefore she wouldn't know what it is.
Where would I be today if I had no Faith that there was a God, Spirit, a Higher Power. It was impossible for me to even fathom. I have complete faith that Spirit guides me in my life. I rely on this guidance. I may not always think about it, but Faith it is. My heart feels it and my mind knows it. It is the most important thing in my life.
This is my absolute favorite saying:
When you have come to the edge of all the Light you have known
and are ready to jump into the Darkness,
FAITH
is knowing one of two things will happen.
You will either have something to stand on
or you will be taught how to fly.
Maybe this will help you to think about what you have faith in. I hope so.
Thanks for letting me share.

Love, Peace, Joy, Faith,

Blessings from 'The Heavens'
Since reading the book Hiring The Heavens, by Jean Slatter, my life is so much fun!
The Heavens and spiritual guides are here to assist us, all we have to do is ask. Whenever I have a challenge I say out loud “I want to hire the Heavens, I need a decorator to help me choose the right pictures for the living room wall”. Boom! I start to get ideas, see pictures that catch my eye. I have hired; a mechanic to figure out why the MAINTENANCE REQUIRED light came on in my car. The time spent at the shop was minimal, at no cost, and it turned out the mechanic had forgotten to reset the button the last time he serviced the car.
I hired a landscaper to assist me in figuring out what to do with a corner in my yard. That same day I asked the gardener if he had suggestions, he did, we talked about it, he went and got the materials he needed while I went to the nursery for the plants. Now everything flows and is pleasing to look at. One morning going to work, I thought “Well if this works out so well, then I want to hire a maid to assist in cleaning the house.” My daughter had the day off, when I came home she had just finished vacuuming, and mopping the floors!! Oh my gosh, I was so happy inside I could burst!!
I have hired accountants, comedians, nutritionists, investment advisors. This latter one took one or two weeks, then Boom! I met a banker and an investment person, both offered to look over my assets. They came to me, I did not have to find them!!
I highly recommend this book and new approach to daily life. What a beautiful blessing from The Heavens!

The Shack - Book Review
A friend of mine sent me a wonderful book the other day. The book was so good I finished it in one day. It is called "The Shack" by William Paul Young.
It is a story about a man who had a very hard childhood. His father was an alcoholic and beat him. Then after he was married and had a family, he had something very traumatic happen. He blamed God for this. So God wrote him a letter inviting him to meet with God. The man decides to take him up on the invitation. Since the man had never known a loving father, it is hard for him to trust God. God shows him in a very caring and often humorous way that he is loved. The conversations the man had with God were so insightful that I know the book had to be Divinely inspired. What validated this thought for me was an acknowledgement in the book that the author only had $200 for an advertising budget and because of word of mouth, it is now on the New York Times Best Seller List. With God, you don't even need an advertising budget. He takes care of everything for you.
"The Shack" is an amazing story that will make you laugh and cry and possibly change the way you think about your relationship with God. I recommend it highly.
Thanks for letting me share this with you.
Have a miraculous day.

I Believe - Acceptance is the Key
I Believe order to attain ones true heart's desire, we must be able to accept our lives and situations as they are. If you believe you are already engaged in something capable of making you truly happy seek no further because you are doing exactly what you are wanting to do.
But if you need help identifying your true heart's desire then you might want to consider choosing Love as your dominant emotion. Allow the Love of Life to soothe your soul and flow into the grail of your heart to open the Flower of Life within.
If you are always trying to force your thoughts, your beliefs and your influence on others, you are trying to roll a boulder uphill. Not only do others not want to be told what to do, what to think and how to feel, they will eventually rebel against everything you are trying to make them accept.
The only way for someone to be happy and loving is to accept themselves and others exactly for who and what they are. By trying to change yourself or someone else to fit your idea of perfection, you are telling them they are not good enough for you as they are - they need to be different.
Acceptance of others and acceptance of yourself is the road to unconditional love and happiness.
Let's all practice today.

Our Greatest Fear...
I talked to one of my best friends this morning and she was saying she has always been embarrassed when someone talks about her abilities, her gifts and/or how special she is. She has fought this for most of her life and while talking to her about it, I realized that the same thing has been true for me. While talking to her about it, I remembered a quote from Marianne Williamson, found it online, sent it to her and I have enclosed it here for all of you to read and also take to heart. We are all special and we are all meant to shine! Please read and know you are GREAT!
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
This was given to us by Marianne Williamson and my wish for myself and all of humanity is that we take this to heart and manifest our greatness in everything we think and do.

I Believe - Does God Love Me?
I had a discussion with my Mother the other day and being she is 82 years old, she is from the old school. She doesn't seem to understand that there is NO right or wrong life pathways. This woman professes to be a born again christian and somehow has come upon the notion that God only loves her and those that agree with her. She is of the opinion that she, and only those that believe exactly as she does, are going to go to heaven. When I ask her if she believes that God is all about love, she whole heartedly agrees - but only as long as the person has taken Jesus as their personal savior. If you haven't taken the Lord as your savior, you are doomed to live in hell for eternity. So, I then made the point that the world and thousands of people were born long before Jesus Christ came along and they were not able to accept Him as their personal savior, so the question arises - Are they doomed to live in hell for eternity also? Her answer astounded me! She quoted from the Bible that 'Many are called, but few are chosen' (Matthew 22 v.14). Now, my guess is 'that is a little out of context' but she corrected me and told me that each verse is complete unto itself. Now if you follow that type of thinking, it is no wonder that so much of our history has been scarred by religious wars. How sad is that?
Thank you for spending your time with me. There is room for comments so lets have a discussion. Do you think God loves You?
