Merry Christmas!

Thinking about the birth of Jesus and the spiritual path onto which he has led so many. He is the example of how I want to live my life. Giving to others every way that I can. Treating my enemies as friends. And teaching others to do the same. Love is the answer. Jesus showed us the way. It is up to us to follow.

Merry Christmas! May you be surrounded by love from family, friends and spirit.

miracles

While I do believe miracles are possible, we can't sit around waiting for them. We must take action to pursue our goals and desires. This way we can enjoy our days as they are and be pleasantly surprised when something seemingly magical happens.

From my book, Finding Our Light

no regrets

More TV inspired philosophy... I live with chronic illness. Some face terminal illnesses. With diagnosis comes planning and coping. I've been watching Chasing Life from ABC Family about a young woman with leukemia. She does plenty of planning and coping. But when someone dies suddenly and unexpectedly, it's a totally different story.

While some of us are overwhelmed by illness, we also need to treasure the present. Living a life with no regrets is so important. If you died today, would you be able to say you've had a wonderful life? (I sure can!) If there's something missing, take action and pursue those goals as best you can!

Enjoy your present! If need be, make some changes, even if those changes are only in your attitude. Changing circumstances is often difficult or impossible. Do what you can with what you have. No regrets!
