The new day
I am reminded to live in appreciation for this very present and generous moment. My history is only an opportunity to learn from and there is no future. I have made apologies and amends for my indiscretions in my past. They have no more power over me. Forgiveness of self and others has allowed me […]
Worship
I am reminded of the benefits of worship. I used to believe that I needed to go to a church and repeat the prayers to be successful at worship. I have discovered that statement of appreciation for everything in my life is worship. Saying thank you when I wake up, holding appreciation for my breath, […]
The Goal
I’m reminded of the goal of life, to live it to the fullest. I have tried so many ways to carry out this goal. I have drunk alcohol to the point of becoming an alcoholic, I have eaten whatever foods I wanted to the point of obesity, I have lived in rigid religiosity until I […]
Where is God?
Yes. That is my answer. Let me explain, the all are the one and the one is the all. God is made of everything and everything is made of God. That person driving in a way that disturbs you, that’s a version of God from a different perspective. The reflection in the mirror, whether you […]
Humility
It is not thinking less of myself, it is thinking of myself less often. I choose to be willing to be of service to others. This used to mean I would step into any situation that I thought needed me to save others from themselves or their choices. Humility means I am not here to […]
Service
My need to be of service to others stemmed from a desperate desire to stay sober. Not drinking was not sobriety. A change in my personality, a complete alteration in my reactions to life. This was what needed to happen if I had any chance at a joyful and happy life. I first started being […]
Meaning of life.
I am reminded how I am the meaning of my life. Or least I am in charge of creating a meaning to my life. I have tried many different lifestyles and have learned many lessons about what I prefer and what I don’t. I have discovered how my beliefs, thoughts, feeling, actions, and reactions create […]
One way or the other.
I am reminded this morning how the Divine design for my life will happen one way or the other. I was meant to live free from alcohol and drugs. I did not fully accept this until I ended up in a mental health ward locked away for 72 hours. I have had the opportunity to […]
The Change.
When I was first given the suggestion that I try finding appreciation for even the smallest things in my life, I laughed. I also realized I wanted to have joy and find happiness in life so I started to work at saying thank you for the basics in my life. Admittedly I started this process […]
Released from control
I am reminded that I have the power to be released from the control of others. I simply stop trying to control others. I fired myself from the jobs of being the worlds driving instructor, fashion police, religion czar, language monitor, and the king of what is offensive and what is not. I stopped trying […]
