harmonious balance

The only thing I love more than being affected, is affecting others.
It comes down to sharing our stories, our gifts, our blessings and our challenges.
Listening to others, learning and growing.
Doing your best and then simply letting go.

peace & God bless

permalink Sunday Morning - “I love always being right”
Good morning, happy Sunday & hope your Thanksgiving gave you many more reasons to be thankful!
I love being right. We all do. But in one particular area, I am always right. Yes, I said it – always right. When it comes to the people that have been in my life over time and I have watched their paths, their challenges, their tests, I am never wrong… about them.
I have written before about watching patterns in life and in people’s lives. None of us are truly alone and none of us are the only ones going through whatever we are going through. So, if I have been in a friend or client’s life long enough, all I have to do his look back at their past trials and whenever they are tested, I just use their past victories as the factual data to back up what I say. Hence, I am never wrong.
If any of us look back on some of the scariest moments of our lives, no matter how we felt, we still made it through them. How do I know this? Because we are still here. We are here, above ground, with the ability to fight the fight everyday. We’ll know when we are done. It is quite simple; my sister Tami is done fighting her fight. We are not. If we/I have made it through all of the challenges and tests that life has laid on our paths, why would this moment, this challenge, or this test be the one that we cannot pass?
If we have grown and evolved from the previous tests, we have simply been preparing for the ones in the future. With that knowledge (faith) we too shall pass this test, which will prepare us for the inevitable next one. I feel embracing this perspective will release some of the grip that life seems to have on us at certain moments in time.
“He will never give you a cross to heavy to carry”
Remember and I know I am right about that!
peace & God bless
