Gratefulness

I am grateful for my family and friends. I am grateful for the Mayo Clinic and hospital. I am grateful for my own good health..... As always, I am grateful for a good hot cup of black tea. (and a piece of my daughter's Symphony bar to go with it). I am grateful for TODAY.

What are YOU grateful for?

Do you have a toolbox?

A Spiritual Toolbox
Notes from Carole O'Connell's talk yesterday

1- BREATHE. Be in the moment. Live your Principles. Ask: “What is the OPPORTUNITY I have today?” No guilt! If you don’t meditate today, don’t feel guilty about missing it… just do it in that moment you remember. - Breathe.

2- NON-RESISTANCE. Where is your focus? Are you focused on the outcome you want, or fear of an outcome you do not want? -- Have an attitude of “I don’t MIND what happens.” Remember that Every Situation brings us gifts. Ask: “What is the gift?” Trust that all IS well. In this moment, all is well. Ask: “What is the message? What is the journey I am on in this moment?” NOW is the only thing that is…. Now. It is what it is. - Non-Resistance.

3- NON-JUDGMENT. There is a difference between Observation and Judgment. Observation is noticing it. Judgment is an emotional attachment to the observation. CIM says “We are never angry for the reason we think.” - And - “Would you rather be right or would you rather be happy?” - Non-Judgment.

4- FORGIVENESS. This is not necessarily something you give others. It is a gift to yourself. Forgiveness is “detaching emotionally from a negative situation”. Revrand Michael Beckwith says 100% of spiritual evolution is about letting go. Wow…. 100%! - Forgiveness.

5- ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT. It really is OK to ask! Be in total alignment with what you want… Picture it. See it. Feel it. Write a story about it. Begin to actively move your focus to THAT new story… and let go of any focus on the old story. Stop telling the old story. Tell the new story! - Ask for what you want.

There you go. Five basic tools for your toolbox! Thanks Carole!

Best time to Plant a Tree

Old Chinese proverb: The best time to have planted a tree was 20 years ago... the 2nd best time is NOW.

What seeds are you planting today? Can I help you in any way? Just ask.

Some VERY good news!

Hi All!
I was fortunate enough today to hear about a Government program that is doing loans up to 102% of purchase price. Low income to moderate income families only... There ARE areas NATIONWIDE including near Atlanta too... including Acworth (East Bartow County), North Cherokee, Barren, Jackson, some of Oconee,Newton Jasper & Walton.... the list goes on and on. If you want more info, go to the website at: USDA GUARANTEED LOANS for maps of the eligible areas AND to find out if YOU are eligible.

A recent buyer was a single mom of 3 paying nearly $1,000 a month in rent and she was able to buy a home for $171K with no money down and payments of only $750/mo. with a subsidy provided by the Government. This plan is not for everyone, but it's for someone you know! Let us know if we can help! Click HERE to Email me Now!

Yield to the Present

From Annette Mize today...

God can only be with you in the Present Moment.... not in the past... not in the future, but ONLY NOW.

Breathe into that... When you can respond to the present moment effortlessly... and can LET GO... the tough stuff just floats away with the flow that you are in... The flow can carry you...support you... effortlessly.

DO NOW what needs to be done by YOU in this moment. That's all. This moment.

Namaste - Donna
