Howdy Folks and Good Day!
It’s question time again. Before
answering, please take a moment to recall the people you’ve encountered
today. If you have time, go back to all
those you’ve encountered in the past week, or even the past month or the past
year. Think about the positive
encounters and those encounters you wish you could have avoided. Then answer
the following question…
How loving and accepting are you of yourself and others?
We
But are we willing to love and accept ourselves unconditionally? That includes when we first wake up in the morning and look in the mirror! Or after a really hard day when we’re absolutely frazzled!
Beyond ourselves, are we willing to love and accept others unconditionally? That includes when they’re having a really bad day and are absolutely frazzled, too!
Most of us give love “unconditionally” when everything is in working order and going our way. But just wait until someone does something that irritates us, hurts us, or is different than we expected or think they should do! Our unconditional love often turns into judgment and frustration as we react in split second timing. Then instead of understanding we’ve reacted from a place of ego and need to change our attitude, we justify why we have the right to be UN-loving and judgmental.
“But he did this… She said that… You should have seen how they were acting…”
The truth is it doesn’t matter how THEY act. It matters how WE act. If we want to be treated with unconditional love and acceptance, then we need to GIVE unconditional love and acceptance!
This doesn’t mean we must love and accept someone’s actions when they are disrespectful or hurtful. We can learn to embrace the person without embracing their actions.
Sometimes it can be difficult to tell the difference between the person and the action. Here’s a clue: if you’re spreading the word about how this person wronged you or why you don’t like them, you’re most likely putting that person down. If you are being loving and your non-tolerance is based solely on their actions, you probably wouldn’t find the need to tell it to others in the first place! It’s between you and the other person. You recognize their “short comings” and give them the space to be who they are without judging them.
So often we jump to conclusions about others. We don’t bother to get into their heart and soul. We don’t take the time to understand where they are coming from. We just know we don’t like them, or perhaps more accurately, what they are doing. Instead of coming from a place of love and acceptance, we come from a place of competition, judgment, anger or feeling threatened.
What would happen if we pulled back and came from a place of love and acceptance?
What would happen if we put down our defenses and tried to get to the
heart of the matter instead of judging the other person – or ourselves?
Quite often, a peaceful resolution, new found respect, and strengthened camaraderie!
Our vibrations and theirs will be higher. We’ll feel better about ourselves and each other. We’ll create an atmosphere of love, safety and acceptance. Now that’s worth putting aside judgments for!
Today consciously come from a place of unconditional love and acceptance… even if they aren’t.
With Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Prosperity…

MAGICAL WEEKEND
By Nancy J. Leslie
Mark and I started our day at the Knightstown Fire Department Pancake breakfast. We had our cameras loaded in the truck and were going to go where the wind took us.
After several short stops and photo shoots, we found our way
to
This time, we parked the jeep and headed to the river below the bridge.
The path to the river was easy to navigate and since the water level was so low, I was able to walk out to nearly the middle of the river on the rocks to take photographs.

Here is one of MANY shots we took from under the bridge.
Enjoy!!!

Switch Identity?
Many of us have more than one e-mail address or accounts under different forms of our names. Sometimes it's only an abbreviation of our legal name, other times it's kind of a persona we have created for our selves like catlady3@------.
When you go from one e-mail account to another you have to hit the "Switch Identity" line to get to another e-mail account. Often I've thought about that phrase "Switch Identity" and I wonder "How many people would like to do just that?"
I believe in my heart most people at one time or another have thought “wouldn't it be nice if I could just be someone else, living somewhere else, doing something else?" Or they’ve said something like "I would love to be rich!"
Practicing an "Attitude of Gratitude" can put these things in check. But gratitude has no room for feelings of envy, lust, wanting, begrudging, or being jealous.
Aspiring to be something better is a good thing. Self-improvement is an on-going project. In the process, I believe we are to practice an "Attitude of Gratitude" for who we are during the transitional times.
If we want to feel our lives are successful we truly must like who we are.
We MUST control our "ATTITUDE" or it controls us. We need to look into our hearts and take stock of who we are and what we really want to fill our lives with.
I’ve learned a few things along the way of "Self Discovery…"
* I’ve learned God wants us to touch the lives of other people.
* For true peace to come into our lives "We must be the change that we want to see in the world" (Gandhi)
* Kindness and our personal time are some of the greatest gifts we can give.
Switch my identity? I don't think so! It's taken God way too long chiseling me into the person I am.
"Thank you, God, for your continued work on me."
God's "Work in Progress"
