The wheels on the bus and the hands on the clock go round and round. The planet Earth is indeed round, and orbits around the sun and the moon. So let me ask you, “When are you going to get A- “ROUND” to making the changes you want?” Don’t live life in a revolving door, always ending up where you started. It doesn’t matter where you were, or what mistakes you’ve made. We all have a past, and regrets are an intricate part of the process. What really matters is your very next step. It’s the first one into your future. Make it a good one

They say we learn something new every day. We may not be sure who “THEY” are, but who are we to argue? I heard the word “Mulligan” used in reference to playing golf. Having never played or married a Arnold Palmerwannabe, who knew? For those in my clueless group, it’s a do over. No questions asked , no penalties incurred...just try again. I want one! Not in golf: in my life! If only we could: we’d be brilliant! That’s wishful thinking! Live your life filled with an abundance of love and laughter. The rest are just the details anyway, and somehow those things find a way of working out.

TT When we meet somebody and instantly feel connected, it’s so special. It doesn’t matter which language they speak, the color of their skin or nationality, it feels like you already know them. Although you’re sure you’ve never met, proceed with caution. Start by communicating without words. It reduces the risk of being misunderstood. Speak through your eyes, listen with your heart, and experience heaven here on earth. Honor the peace of God that resides in each of us. Allow Souls to radiate peace, Hearts to rhythmically beat their love song, and Spirits to display their true colors. Don’t settle for just being the face associated with your life; live each day to the fullest. The sky is the limit!

Message 335
/IChange is challenging...period. And it doesn’t seem to matter whose idea it was in the first place. Even after we clearly define the problem, construct a course of action to rectify the situation, and have the best of intentions, it’s still hard. Haven’t you heard “old habits die hard” or “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”? Well, (you’re not going to like this any more than I did) these are just excuses! Sorry, but they are. So what’s the plan? Learning and growing are in fact synonymous with change. Surrender to the concept of change; it is an instrumental part of the journey.

Hummingbirds small enough to fit in the palm of your hand defy all the rules of Physics. Bodies too heavy, wings too short and beaks to long to be able to fly. Yet, we have witnessed and immensely enjoyed watching them flutter from flower to flower sipping nectar. I guess no one ever told them it was physically impossible for to fly. Aren’t you glad? There’s a lesson to learned simply by observing these creatures. By the way, did you know they are the only bird that can fly
backwards? How many times have we listened to the world instead of my inner self and questioned what we were capable of? Are we just pawns in this game of life? Don’t let the world dictate what you can and cannot do. It’s just their opinion and nobody has the right to rain on your parade. Today, right now don’t waste another minute, defy whatever the world told you was impossible. Do it your way then the consequences are your own. Spread your wings and fly!

Words are powerful, unforgiving and subject to interpretation. Some should come with a warning label. They cut like a knife, kick wind out of sails and leave recipients in the wake of their destruction. Words are etched in stone, and memories have no delete button. Does the fluency of communicating with words result in becoming callous or numb to the power they process? “BEFORE” speaking... ask yourself, Is this true, helpful and kind? And don’t be surprised if you end up saying nothing.

Accept responsibility for the people in your world. Are they worthy of your friendship? After all, you were the one who opened the door; subsequently inviting them in. If only there was a secret password: “Abracadabra”, that magically lowered the drawbridge. Or a peep hole in the massive wooden doors to sneak a peak before we opened the doors protecting all we hold near and dear. The evil doers are very clever. Remember the story about “The Wolf in Sheep’s clothing?” Seeing is not always believing. Diligently stand guard; be the gatekeeper of your kingdom. It’s your world and you build your life around

We are our own worst enemy. We think evil doers live outside the box, but it paled in comparison to the job our minds do on us.To ward off enemies, eyes watch, ears listen and guts churn if something’s off. Learn to recognize and react to these God given gifts. Before feeling jealous of others skill at this, remember the only way to become proficient is through trials and tribulations. (As always, practice makes perfect!) Stop worrying and stressing out about all the apossibilities: the ones to work on today are the struggles here and now. Don’t focus on the problems; focus on the solutions!
