#ifnotforyou

Greeting friends

Celebrate love.  This is the festival of love week – the happiest day of the calendar – so be happy and love.

Because we are celebrating happiness this week – here are 30 habits for happiness – do a few of them; follow the 10 words; and love – and you will change your life –

Be kind; eat well; exercise; meditate; be honest; dream big; be patient; judge less; smile often; love yourself; forgive easily; show gratitude; think positively; drink lots of water; believe in yourself; keep an open mind; put your needs first; don’t make excuses; speak well of others; listen to understand; choose faith over fear; make the most of now; exercise self-discipline; look on the bright side; avoid social comparison; see failure as opportunity; don’t take opinions to heart; select friends that lift you up; let go of what can’t be changed; and have a healthy sleeping pattern

This week we have another reminder about the power of words.  The world was called into being and we have used our words ever since to create the lives we lead.  They are the most sacred thing on earth, and we have gotten far from the understanding of the sacredness of our words.  Now we are reminded of the 10 words of the great Sinai epiphany – the rules for living life and the 6 words that form the cornerstone prayer of Judaism – if you just listen and we are told that promises count and if you promise – you do.

Remember friends, In our lifetimes, we seek kindness, compassion, fairness, peace, guidance, comfort, love and in a perfect world, we know where these are and we take the chances to have it and to provide it – and all of us, in all of our lifetimes – had those feelings - so find those angels of yours and tell them – without them, we endure life; but with them, we rejoice in it – so let us rejoice again.  Underneath our differences, we are the same and we all share the sacredness of the lifeforce.

We bring our intention to everything we say, do, be – so think before you speak.  Remember  that your  words are the keys to what gets set in motion – they are our friends, our enemies, our healers and our destroyers – they are the tools of creation and the tools of destruction as you move along your path of holiness.

So let us join together and embrace the freedom to be you –

And please do continue to spread love and forgiveness and healing to all you know in need of renewal and see the blessings in your life; see the miracles; see the beauty; see the growth, see the opportunity – they are everywhere.  Take some time and make sacred time and sacred space a part of your life.
