Which party?

I purchased an artsy little poster on a recent visit to Omaha.  It says: "You choose which party you shall attend!"  This powerful quote and associated artwork is by Mary Anne Radmacher.
So, which party are you attending here on earth?  The one with the fun, uplifting, adventuresome people who are always ready to do, be and have something new? -or- The doom-and-gloom party with the folks who discuss the problems of the world and their lives ad nauseum, and who see nothing good to celebrate?
Edwene Gaines, fabulous spiritual teacher, says, "Earth is the party planet, didn't you know?"  We did not come here to suffer! We are here to glorify life with ever-expanding joy. 
Maybe it's time for a change of party?  Worth considering...

How new? How alive?

This quote comes from Chris Michaels: "You are alive only to the degree that you're trying something new." Trying something new pulls us out of our comfort zone, and stirs up that God-given, powerful, creative force within us. It brings us into the flow of life that is always seeking to expand through us.  

How alive will you be today?  What new thing, no matter how small, can you try? Here are some ideas:

-compliment a job well done

-smile and greet a stranger

-start that art project you've been considering

-sign up for a class

-start a garden

-sing and dance

Whatever your "something new" is, enjoy!

Blessings,

What do you value?

Today’s Notes from the Universe by Mike Dooley:

“In all of time and space, can you think of anything more valuable than just another day? How's that for a reality-check?”

How will you experience this precious day?  In love and laughter, doing what you enjoy?  Or surviving to the weekend?  Worth considering, I’d say.  

Joyful Thursday to you!

What's for breakfast?

I love this quote by Alfred Montapert: “Welcome problems and eat them for breakfast.” 

What a conquering, can-do, powerful attitude--even better than Wheaties! 

Let's release any hang-overs from yesterday, chow down on any potential worries for the day, and head off into the next 24 hours with a clean slate of "Life is good!"

Lovin' life, spreadin' joy!

Patience

From Joan Borysenko's book, A Pocketful of Miracles (March 30):
"Patience is related to authentic spiritual courage. It is deep faith that the universe is unfolding as it should, even when things are not happening according to our own plans or timetables. All we can do is act with integrity, in accordance with our priorities and the guidance of the still, small voice within. After that, we must surrender all attachment to the results."

I like this quote a lot.  It inspires me to see patience as a worthwhile quality for me to aspire to have, rather than something I must make myself have in order to endure seemingly endless waiting.
It is awesome how the universe delivers the most wonderful things in perfect timing when I relax and know all is well, rather than doing the spiritual foot-tapping of "when is it gonna show up?!??!"

Lovin' life, spreadin' joy!

Consider this day-starter

'You begin each day with an attitude that "this is the best day of my life, and by the end of this day, I will have a deeper realization about the universe, about the Invisible, about myself and the true art of living.'

How would your days be different if you truly believed that each one is the best day of your life? Interesting question to ponder...

The quote is from the book, Spiritual Liberation, by Rev. Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith.

Enjoy your best day!
Love,
Leta

Overflowing Love Playshop--A Huge Success

The Playshop at Unity in Wichita last Sunday was a great success!  I'll be doing a repeat performance this coming Saturday, March 26 in Louisville, KY, from 1- 4 pm.  The location is University of Louisville, Founders Union Bldg, 9001 Shelbyville Road, Louisville.  It's offered on a love offering basis.  Good stuff!  If you are in the area, I'd love to have you bless our group with your presence!  Blessings!
