Hello All, 

It has been a long time since I've posted, 5 months, in fact. A lot has happened since then.  

I've learned many life lessons that I am applying to my path.  

Forgiveness is big - forgiving others, forgiving ourselves, and even silently and from a distance (of space and time) asking forgiveness. 

Love is really the one big thing.  

And happiness. Who knew we are actually NOT supposed to be working ourselves to death?  We are actually supposed to be happy.  Nice, huh?!  

My new lesson that I'm working on is listening to the signs being sent to me.  This week the signs are saying,  "Meditate!"  

Years ago I read (listened to) a Deepak Chopra book called The Third Jesus, The Christ We Can't Ignore where he explained some of Jesus' teachings from a "spiritual" viewpoint outside of Christianity. (He was raised in India (Hindu) but was sent to Catholic boarding schools and had many Buddhist friends so he has a blend of various religious backgrounds. He said meditation is the prayer of listening. He said when Jesus says to Be Still, he means to meditate. To sit and breathe. 

The brain man I'm listening to now, Dr. Daniel Amen, said to meditate, "Stress damages the health of the body every day. We only need to meditate on the days we want to reverse that." 

Marianne Williamson says to meditate and compares meditating to showering. She says we shower every day to clean our bodies, and we need to mediate every day to clean our thoughts. 

Finally, last night my friend Susan said, "You're supposed to be meditating."  

Guess this is another message or sign that I'm supposed to be meditating. 

Hmmm. . . .maybe it's time I listen!  

As my friend Cat said, "May you be abundantly blessed in every way!" 

Now, let's go meditate!  :)
