I have fallen in Love with an experience, one that's foundation is built on Love.
Recently I was asked to officiate the wedding of a wonderful young couple.
I was in a small way the reason they met. I didn't set them up.
The universe set up the circumstances that brought them together..
I was just part of the plan. Be part of your own plan for joy and Love in life.
I broke my ankle two weeks ago. It has been a gift.
The subject line of the email I sent to friends and family informing them of my situation was 'Be Careful What You Ask For'. I decided on the title because I had just informed the Universe that I would like three months of being waited on, no obligations that I didn't want to take on, time to read, and finish several projects I'd let slide.
I forgot to state how I wanted this to happen, so the Universe too over. And, I am ever so grateful it did.
Maybe he just reads too much! My younger brother Nicholas, that is.
Once again he was reading one of dad’s books and now he can’t stop talking about what it takes for any of us to become a fully functioning person.

I will do my best to explain what he says.

5 Steps to letting in more joy and contentment in your life.
Sometimes letting go can feel scary.

And there has never been a better time than right now. Think of something that you are holding onto, something that is blocking the way for you to be truly happy. Want to let it go?
Want to make room in your life for greater joy and satisfaction?
Biphasic Traits, according to Al Siebert (Resiliency Center), make us more likely to succeed, indeed survive and thrive.
"To survive on this planet a creature must be able to move toward life-sustaining conditions and away from poisonous or other life-destroying conditions."
This week I choose to move toward life-sustaining conditions such as joy and gratitude for all I have in my life (wonderful family, supportive and fun friends, work I enjoy, solid finances, and more), and away from life-destroying conditions (hate and anger).
This week I chose to give my full attention to compassion. Compassion for those who experience the terror of external, as well as internal, evil. This does not mean tolerance or acceptance of evil. Nor does it mean passivity in the face of evil. It means actively engaging in activities that are life-sustaining (for myself and others).
Here is a list of some life-sustaining activities?
