Rules Are Meant to Be Broken
There are moments in life where you can stand by the “rules” or you can do what’s JUST.
Justice is the result of living in humility, being RIGHT lives in the Ego.
Where do you Live?

Take Out The Trash
My dad, Don, the one with all the great sayings, has a good one! Whenever he would hear one of his six children talking about some bad thing from the past he would say: “Once a week we take out the trash and once it’s out of the house we never think about it again. That’s how we should think about bad experiences.”
Once you have “taken out the trash” by doing the healing work, it is time to let it go and move on.
“Today I will take out the trash of my past and let it go.”
Be Helpful
I’ve written about this before but in the face of all the natural disasters in the world right now, I feel like it bears repeating.
We are all connected and we feel this so intently when one part ofour human family is hurting. The feeling of powerlessness to help in these situations is frustrating, but there are two very powerful things you can do:
Be as well as you can be in this moment and from that place flow your love towards others.
Help someone right in front of you!
Staying connected to love and being inspired to action is the most powerful choice you can make. Contribute what you can to those affected and know that Well-Being is the basis of all Life, even when there is great evidence of suffering, the Sun is still in the sky and the planets are not bumping into each other.
Today I will know that my love and service for others is an action I am willing to take.
Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
The wonderful thing about a good thing is that having to wait for it to show up somehow makes it even better! The anticipation and excitement are part of what makes the waiting worthwhile. So next time you think you just can’t wait one more second!!!! STOP and for a moment enjoy the delicious feeling of knowing that what you want is on it’s way to you, absolutely.
Today I will be joyful in my anticipation of receiving good things in my life.
Be BOLD!
Go big or go home is what my dad used to say when we were playing sports. I still believe in that philosophy today. If something is worth doing it is worth doing well and with 110% effort.
Today I will give 110% to my life!
Get Out of Your Own WAY
So often we are the reason we do not move forward. No one but us. Our excuses. Our fears. Our insecurities.
Love First teaches that we must develop a relationship with ourselves, first. This allows us an opportunity to examine how we stop ourselves from receiving our abundance and living a life of joy. By creating new beliefs about ourselves, that we are worthy, that we are deserving of love, instead of putting obstacles in our way, we become our greatest champion.
Today I will take a look at whether I am an obstacle or a champion to living the life I want.
Caring vs Co-Dependent
People like to throw around terms they don’t really understand so I would just like to say that caring for someone is demonstrated by thoughtful actions based on personal boundaries. Co-dependence is emotion-driven action to “help” someone because you either think they can’t help themselves, you are afraid they will leave you if you don’t make sure they are happy, (usually that person is NEVER happy), the object of your assistance is a drug addict, alcoholic,or other personality that is destructive to themselves and others so you will “fix” them.
If any of the last behaviors apply to you try this:
Today I will remember that I cannot control people with my loving attention, I can only love them and let them find their own path.
In Your Dreams
When we sleep our subconscious mind can bring us information in our dreams. No longer filled with resistance, our minds relax and the thoughts deep in our psyche will reveal themselves. It is not always easy to understand our dreams, of course, but if before you sleep you simply ask the question, “What do I need to know?” you will be surprised at what comes up.
Today I will go to sleep willing to hear what my soul wants to tell me.
Sounding Board
Have you ever needed to tell someone something that you felt was uncomfortable and found yourself agonizing over what to say, when to say it, what the other person would say? I still battle this depending on how important or new the relationship is. But I have learned to sound out my thoughts with a trusted friend and then just have a conversation with the intended person! If you practice coming from Love for yourself and them, that love will guide you to the best words to be heard and understood, but also to help YOU understand.
Today I will trust a friend to help me sort out my feelings before I approach someone with my concerns. I will come from Love and know there is always a solution.
