Aunt Irma's Lesson



“Sweetheart, Grandma is trapped inside her own head. She lives there all the time now. Much of what is in there is not pleasant. She had some hard times in her life and did not respond well to her circumstances. Many of her relationships have been damaged and broken and never repaired. We don’t know what is going to happen to us or how we will die. Someday you might have to live inside your head. Make sure you live well. Create a place in your head and heart you would like to spend time in. Remember that you are always making memories. Be happy. Help others. Follow God. Spread love. Do your best.”

It's OK - You Don't Have To



I am wanting clarity, for things to make sense, to KNOW what I am to be doing, and to be SURE I am on the right track. Don’t we all want the answers? Don’t you find yourself working events and situations around and around, over and over? Are you sometimes distrustful that things will occur in the way and time that they are meant to? Or that they will occur EVER?

450 BILLION!


We spent 450 billion dollars for Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanza and other holiday gift giving last year. Who doesn't love to give and recieve lovely gifts?! Nothing wrong with that.
But there IS something wrong with this...



More people die from drinking unclean water than from any other cause. I have been to Africa and watched children walk miles for water that was not fit to drink. We can solve the problem, world-wide, for 10 billion dollars! There are many programs you can
donate to. Check on-line and find one you can get behind!
The point is to take a look at what you have and spend some portion of your budget on helping someone else have a better life. Give yourself away! Not just money - your time, attention and talents. You have such amazing gifts to offer. Let someone else benefit from all you know and can do. You get the joy! Such a great deal!
