My Cup Runneth Over

Once the bulk of my move was completed, my brother suggested I plan a housewarming within a month as incentive to get boxes open in a timely manner and to reconnect with friends in the area.

Well, the shindig happened Friday evening. My expectations were minimal: I would be THRILLED if just my sister and sister-in-law to be joined me. Plus, even the thought those two were coming for a visit would be good incentive to get settled.

So I sent out an invite to about 15 lady friends. 9 folks showed! Two men…and may I say, “WHAT FUN!”

Had no idea what to expect as I simply moved in to a nice apartment and do not need any “thing.” We laughed and talked for a couple of hours. About 9:37 PM–okay I checked the clock–some said, “Can we help you move around your furniture?”

They had heard me say a I did not like the placement of a few pieces. So, “Sure.”

A most wonderful outcome: my living room is now set up, looks inviting, comfortable and is quite functional. You could hire this bunch out.

So as I went to sleep about 11:26 PM, I marvelled and continue to marvel at the generosity of my friends. Not only was I the recipient of their time and companionship, but their creativity and generosity. I could not say what I did to deserve it but I can say I am grateful. For me this is the Every Where Present exceeding my expectations by tankards full…my cup runneth over with joy.

Bright Moments.

Pulling Pieces Together

It has occurred to me that the pieces are here: one part a sense of the Divine Presence, the Every Where Present, the other part Life as a human being. So, while I am able to clearly see the hand of Source in action in my life, in Life, what more proactive way might I be pulling the two together.

It just seems that instead of simply waiting around for the after. I could be more actively engaged in the before. Where could I use a hand? How could you and avail ourselves of the generosity Spirit lays before us?

Bright Moments.

Surprise Me!

Yesterday morning as I headed out into the world I invited Spirit essentially to surprise me, as I moved forward with the sense I could look forward to something good happening that day.

I have done this before. It is setting an intention for a good day, a really good day. I am anticipating something wonderful. While the words maybe something like “Something good is going to happen today.” The energy is like the excitement of a welcome surprise party in my honor. Which is funny, and let me be clear about this, I generally detest surprises–me being the only one to come unglued while others watch…

Anyway, yesterday was a joy in many ways.

    One I felt better than I had in the previous three days.

    Mindful eating seems to be helping me slow down. I appreciate food without immediately craving more.

    I got asked to provide goals for my bosses performance review–that was a first! Wahoo!

    I was able to log on to my doctor’s Web site after getting a message a few days ago that the log-in had expired weeks ago–plus I did not have to call the office dreaded!

    Plus frumpy pants was in a pretty decent mood! Can I get an “Amen!”

So this day I go forth on a life treasure hunt with the knowing in my heart and soul:

Something wonderful manifests this day!

I am so blessed.

Bright Moments!

Dancing with Snakes or Starfish Main Course — My Choice

I hate moving. Okay, not exactly “hate”…well…yeah, pretty much “hate” moving.

There are not too many activities on earth I dislike, but moving is one and very likely the primary one.

Unless of course the path is clear and easy. Which hasn’t happened for me when moving, how about you?

In fact, in this moment no other task of this level of distaste is coming to mind. Nope, not a one. I think it is safe to say, this one is at the top of my list. I would rather be signed up for a public speaking gig. Oh, but then again, I might take moving over dancing with snakes…maybe.

But then again I am a practitioner and I am aware of the rules of the Universe and Spirit, most definitely, empowered my last move to the point it was smooth, easy and sprinkled with pockets of fun–and tears on a couple of occasions, too, truth be told.

So my choice: neither dancing with snakes nor starfish main course. Rather, I will once again put Spirit to work… Feels kind of powerful to say it that way. In the meantime, I will keep you posted.

Yourself

Oh, weary heart, laden with earth’s weight and care,
Oh, feet, stumbling on the way, bleeding and bare,
Oh, arms outstretched, and hands upheld in prayer,
Oh, back, which so oft has felt the lash and rod,
Oh, soul, which cries aloud for the living God,
Oh, life, struggling to free itself from the clod;
Know this: there is no power from without,
Yourself must answer every fear and meet all doubt
With some divine, indwelling power
Which you yourself, upon yourself, shall shower;
And giving, take, and taking, give
Unto that life which you, yourself, shall live.

The Science of Mind: Facsimile of the 1926 Edition
Ernest Holmes p 13
