I woke up this morning hearing, what are you worried about? What am I giving my energy too? Since I was 12 or 13 years old I have been working HARD!!! For what? I had a plan you see. I have been a planner all my life. Work hard all your life build the nest egg,then retire and enjoy it. What about today? I spent all, or most of my time thinking about tomorrow. Tomorrow is going to be the day when my ship comes in. Tomorrow I will appreciate all the hard work I put in yesterday. What about today? Did I tell my friends, and family that I love them. Did I speak to the person God told me too. Did I give my spare change to the person in need, or was I do busy with my PLAN? Did I listen to the young child asking me a question, or telling me their story, or was I to busy with my plan. TODAY is all I have, what am I doing with it.
You know when I share with folks that I have been diagonalized with Cancer not one type but two, so many feel sad or sorry for me. DON'T I am learning to LIVE in today. I am learning to tell everyone that I love them TODAY. I am learning that the best laid plans sometimes fail. TRUST, LIVE, LOVE. I don't want to suggest that any of you go out and run your credit cards up, or that you live in a way that is our side of your current situation. What I am asking is, are you getting the most out of your current situation? Are you looking for the blessings?
I realize today that all that time I thought I was living, I was missing so many things. Now I don't want to live in the past either, so don't start focusing on that. Have you looked at a tree today? Today I look for BEAUTY, LOVE, PEACE, JOY, HARMONY in everything. I know that every tree has energy and it talking to me. Can I hear it or am I too busy with my plan to listen? This time of year in the North West the trees are changing color, moving in the wind, leaves are dropping, and I realized. This tree is me, the only difference is it is going with the flow. This tree is not worried about what I think about it. It is not worried about will I have enough food to eat, it knows that it is perfect, whole, and complete. It knows that it will product and ABUNDANCE of harvest again soon. I had my plan to live in California the rest of my life. Here I am in Seattle learning from the trees. Go with the flow. Look for the Beauty in each day. When I find myself starting to focus on something in my life that causes me sadness, fear, or despair, I look around me to see where is abundance in my life. I don't have to go far to find it. Today I know it is my CHOICE.
I woke up this morning thinking about GREATNESS. My Greatness. Every time I share LOVE today I am showing my GREATNESS. For at that moment I am sharing God in me, as me. How dare I play SMALL. SHINE, SHINE, SHINE. Go with the Flow.
I love you

Our Greatest Fear —Marianne Williamson
it is our light not our darkness that most frightens us
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 and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you.
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.
-Marianne Williamson
