"Small Step" Walking

I don't know about you but when I set a goal I tend to go all out. I want to make all the changes I need to make right now to get to my goal. No step one, two, three, let's just do all the steps in one. I am anxious for results. And I never get the results I want because taking 3 steps in 1 is just too much change to manage at once.

I am learning to take small steps. I am learning to focus on "what one thing can I do today to keep me walking in the direction of my goal"?  I think that one small step each day will lead me to my goal's manifestation. It may take longer than my human patience likes but I believe it's the way to success. So when you are setting your resolutions/intentions keep in mind that a plan you can work each day with ease will take you a long way.

Pic.. For a long time I had wanted to visit Michael Beckwith's church in LA. It is in a warehouse. He calls it an "aware house". Anyways, in the pic, that is me to the right as a blurred flash. I had just left the stage. Not only did I visit his church, I was his guest and was on the platform with him re-presenting him with an award he'd received at the Unity conference a few days before. It was a thrilling experience!

Visioning

Today I'll be viewing a video broadcast by Mary Morrisey about visioning for 2013. She is a very inspirational lady and blessed many people who participated in her Prosperity Plus 10 week program at Unity.

It is important to keep the "wheel primed"(?) Not sure if that is the correct expression except that I mean we have to keep positive and inspiring information in front of us at all times it seems or else we get distracted by the negative.

What can you do to prepare yourself for 2013? Perhaps this year as well as setting  monetary goals, work goals, relationship goals how about a spiritual goal? That would be about your daily spiritual practice. How much time are you willing to invest in that each day? It really is the foundation for all else in your life.

Pic.. There can be many roadblocks on our journey. Getting ourselves into the right frame of mind and having plans for how to deal with them when they come up will help us tremendously. Let's create a great vision for 2013.

Time to Reflect

Many people make New Years Resolutions that often don't last past Valentine's Day. Why is that I wonder? Why is it so difficult to stay focused on our dreams and goals, our resolutions? Is it that we choose what we really don't want? Is it that we lose interest in our goals? Is it that what we "want" requires actions we aren't willing to take?

May I suggest you take time in the next four days to think about your dreams and goals? Mary Morrisey, on Saturday Dec. 29th at 1pm eastern time will be broadcasting a 75 minute workshop on visioning.

On this videocast, you will discover:

• A powerful and simple visioning process that will help you clarify exactly what you want to generate in 2013
• The 3 most significant universal laws for manifesting your heart’s desire
• The main reason New Year’s resolutions FAIL and how you can avoid that.
• 3 things you can do to increase the likelihood you will move from wishing about your dream to living your dream.
• How to unlock the difference between living by design and living by default
• An easy way to keep mentally and spiritually motivated each day
• And so much more!

Unity will show it on our large screen and invites anyone who would like to watch it together to join us. Let's really be intentional with our resolutions and goals for 2013.

Empty

What do you do when you feel empty? When the joy of the season seems way beyond your reach? What do you do with family members that are challenging to deal with?

May I suggest you find a friend or spouse to sit down with and share your feelings with? When the storm of tears finishes its rage, breathe. When your breathing has calmed maybe now you can sit and reflect on what this all means. How is it so easy to let others get under your skin? What do they reflect for you about yourself? Darn it, this is a tough one. Relationships can be challenging. Overcoming the challenges can be very rewarding.

It's the Day before....

It's the day..

before the day.. before Christmas

and all through the land

people were scurrying to buy popular brands.

Jimmie wants this and Sarah wants that

Mommy and Daddy with no time to chat

instead they are busy, tired and sad?

that the joy of Christmas has become something bad.

Well, not bad so much as

it's meaning is lost

the joy of the season all but tossed

out with the shopping, where is the joy?

it can't be found within even one toy.

READERS.. WHAT COMES NEXT??

Happy Birthday

Today ushers in Birth 2012, a day where we begin a new Great Year. The Great Year that just ended with the Mayan calendar took 26,000 years ... it is the time it took for the Earth's wobble to go around the sun. The earth is like a spinning top as it revolves and it has a wobble. I'll leave it at that because I don't want to guess at the full explanation. Suffice to say we have come to a new beginning.

We can no longer live unconsciously and as if life happens by chance. It is time to live consciously and to know that we direct the intelligence of life. So take a few moments today and ask yourself how do I want to direct my energy? What would an awakened me look like? What would I keep doing, stop doing and start doing?

Pic.. Cross the bridge that can take you from the old you to the new consciously living you. Only you know what that bridge entails.

Alive and Changing I Hope

The old expression is "alive and well". Today is the day that marks an ending of an age. Barbara Marx Hubbard calls it the end of our "local self" that person in us who is "me" centric. Birth 2012, tomorrow, marks the birth of our Universal Human. Our new self will awaken to compassion, love, peace and a new way of doing things. Our new self will embrace our Oneness with every person everywhere.

The tragic events of Newtown have signalled in a very physical way that the old ways must change and new ways be born. We cannot repeat the patterns we have lived. To have a different world we must be different people, end the violence and embrace the power of love to heal and end personal and global conflicts.

Today is about endings and tomorrow about beginnings. What in you do you wish to put an ending to to get ready for the new you?
