Howdy Folks and Good Day!
The past days, weeks, and months have gone by at an incredible rate and I’ve
had so many experiences that just keep opening my soul wider and wider. While contemplating what to share with you
this morning, my mind whirled with everything I’ve been learning and
experiencing. So I decided to check in and ask for Divine Guidance… The first
thing I heard was:
“What are you seeking?”
It stopped me in my tracks.
What AM I seeking? What are any of us seeking?
The answer which flashed through my mind was “proof.”
But proof of what?
Proof there is something higher than ourselves. Proof God really exists. Proof we have a Spirit and soul which lives on after we leave our bodies. Proof we are never alone or forsaken. Proof there’s a loving force which really cares about us. Proof we’re not all crazy. Proof we’re on the right track. Proof not only in God’s reality but in our own. Proof we’re fulfilling our mission. Proof we’re going to make it. Proof we’ll be okay no matter what.
All this proof really amounts to one thing… Security. We’re seeking things which make us feel secure and we want signs to verify it!
I had to chuckle when I finished typing this and looked up to see an angel card appear on my screen saver which said, “Divine Guidance.”
I’ll take that as a sign, or as the “proof” I was writing about! :)
We all are seeking something in our lives.
Inevitably that something is driven by a need for security and proof in a power greater than ourselves. We get signs all the time which give us “proof” yet we tend to dismiss them, and choose instead, to cloak ourselves in doubt. The irony is that doubt will always block us from accepting our own sense of security in the divine and keep us seeking.
So we must ask: are we really seeking security in ourselves and God or are we seeking doubt and fear in ourselves and God?
It seems like a silly question. Obviously we all want to have some level of security or faith which makes us feel good. But if we’ve gotten into the habit of doubting, every time we see something which could strengthen our faith, ego will have us seek to dis-prove it or to find proof to support our doubts and fears instead.
So again, we must ask, “What are we seeking?” because we find what we’re looking for!
I’m personally looking for proof God exists as a positive, supportive force in my life. And that’s exactly what I find! It’s the best sense of security I’ve experienced and the more I read, learn, and live through, the more my faith and belief in this loving, supportive God increases.
How about you? What are you seeking? What are you finding? Are you happy with your return?
If you are happy and finding what you seek, that’s awesome! Congratulations, my friend. You are on the right track!
If you’re not happy with what you’re finding, maybe it’s time to change what, where, or how you’re seeking. Check in with yourself. Are you seeking to prove or dis-prove your faith? Are you looking in places which match your frequency and beliefs? Are you seeking with an open heart and open mind, following the divine guidance you receive?
We are all seekers in some way or another. Let us seek for that which will serve our highest good. May we recognize it when it appears and feel gratitude for it in our lives as well as a divine sense of security.
With Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Prosperity…

Recipe for Happiness: Keep Up
Once again I was looking at my teabag quotes. The other day my Yogi tea simply said, "Keep Up."
I thought that was a wonderfully simple Recipe for Happiness. If we can keep up with whatever is important at each stage of life then we have a chance to live that stage to the fullest.
For instance, if I can 'keep up' with eating healthy food then I have a better chance to be healthy at any time in my life.
If I can 'keep up' with the innovations that exist in my culture then I have a better chance to understand them and integrate easier, perhaps quicker ways of doing 'task' chores into my day, leaving more time for pleasure.
If I can 'keep up' with feeling upbeat and optimistic then I have a greater chance of having more energy to expend and to feel good any day.
So it is critical to 'KEEP UP'. How wise a Recipe.
Hope to hear back from you.

A Weekly Column
By
THE PERFECT APRIL FOOL
In a nationally syndicated news story in 1983, a
According to Professor Boskin,
it all started when a gaggle (or should that be giggle?) of court jesters told
the Roman Emperor Constantine that they could do a better job of running the
empire better than he was doing. I’m
thinking this was a little like what Jay Leno, David Letterman and Jon Stewart
do to President Bush in their comic monologues every night, with this
exception: if you displeased the emperor you could be playing your next
engagement in the Coliseum with a bunch of hungry lions.
But evidently the jesters caught
“In a way it was a very serious day,” Professor Boskin explained in that 1983 newspaper story. “In those
times fools were really wise men. It was
the role of jesters to put things in perspective with humor.”
The interesting thing about Professor Boskin’s explanation of the beginning of April Fool’s Day is that it sounds reasonable and logical even
though it was completely fabricated. He
made it all up as a sort of historical April Fool’s
joke, only the Associated Press picked it up and ran it as an April Fool’s day
feature without knowing that it was a joke.
It was weeks before the AP figured out the hoax, but by then the story
had already been printed as factual in dozens of newspapers across the country.
I don’t know about you, but part of me thinks that is
pretty funny. It’s sort of nice to see
the media get its self-important nose tweaked every once in a while –
especially on April Fool’s Day. But the other part of me knows perfectly well
that if I had been one of those newspaper editors I probably would have printed
the story, too.
What can I say?
I’m gullible. It’s like Mark
Twain said: “April 1st. This is the day
upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other three hundred and
sixty-four.”
And I’m the perfect April Fool. I’m the kid who spent an entire day at school
looking foolish because I had a “Kick Me” sign taped to my back. I’m the one child my mother could fool with
her traditional April Fool’s Day caper of taking the
sugar out of the sugar bowl and filling it with salt (you’d think I’d learn
after that first year of eating a big spoonful of salty Corn Flakes, wouldn’t
you? But no – two or three years later I
was still falling for it). And I’m the
one member of the family who took a second bite of some April Fool’s Day pancakes into which my wife, Anita, had cooked a
nice, round piece of cloth. In fact, I
think I’ve still got a cloth crown on one of my molars.
So, OK – I’m gullible. I admit it.
I want to believe, to trust, to rely, to accept. It’s my nature. Heaven knows, life gives us enough reasons
for doubt and mistrust. I don’t want to
spend even one day of my life looking for ulterior motives in every person,
every situation, every Corn Flake and every pancake.
Either that, or I’m just
plain . . . you know . . . foolish. Like
those editors who printed the professor’s story. In which case I must once again cite Twain: “Let us be thankful for the fools,” he said. “But for them the rest of us could not
succeed.”
Even if I’m one of “them” instead of one of “us.”
