Lessons from Millie

joyceskaye.com Posted on June 10, 2009 by JoyceJune 10, 2009

Yesterday’s Daily Guideposts was written by Guideposts editor, Edward Grinnan, upon the arrival into his life of his pooch Millie. It’s one that’s a keeper for me. Here’s most of it or read it in its entirety online. “Millie, I thought, you have so much to learn, and I’ll teach you. Well, wouldn’t you know it, she’s probably taught me as much as I’ve taught her. A few lessons from Millie: – When you’re happy, let the world know. For such a sweet, gentle dog, Millie has a monster bark. But she doesn’t bark much except when she’s happy. She reminds me that joy is contagious and there’s no reason to keep it in. – Hold your tail up. A trainer observed that Millie exhibits confidence by walking with her tail held high. “It makes other dogs feel relaxed around her.” I should hold my head up when I walk down the street. – Play, play, play. Learning to be a city dog is serious business. It takes a lot of concentration and practice. But don’t forget to play like crazy whenever the opportunity presents itself. – Be thankful. For every meal, every walk, every nap, every friend. With a … Continue reading →

Love and Home

joyceskaye.com Posted on June 9, 2009 by JoyceJune 9, 2009

“In any given moment that you are Love, in whatever form that takes, you are Home. The more of those moments you have: being Love, extending Love, receiving Love, the more they will start to string together and become your reality and when this reality becomes your constant state, then you will really understand that you are Home.” – Patricia Williams Scalisi

Vastness

joyceskaye.com Posted on June 8, 2009 by JoyceJune 8, 2009

I recently built a website for a wellness practitioner client who chose the domain name of galaxy15.net. In searching for graphics to use on her site, I was quite surprised to see a plethora of photos of galaxies on Google, and with so many gorgeous colors. This picked my curiosity as to what a galaxy is and how our planet fit in, as I didn’t remember from my early school days. What I learned (with kudos to Rog) was the following: the earth is part of the solar planet system, which is part of the Milky Way galaxy, which is part of the Universe. There are many planets in many systems, in many galaxies, all contained within the Universe. Wow – I had no idea! Learning this impacted me more than I could have imagined. Now I feel I have a better sense of how big God is, a more concrete sense to this vastness. For if God/Spirit/The Great Mystery/[fill in the name] is The Universe, God really is all encompassing, everywhere present, permeating everything. How awesome… And, awesome still is despite the hugeness of God, God cares about little ‘ol me.

Life’s Upheavals

joyceskaye.com Posted on June 7, 2009 by JoyceJune 7, 2009

As I think of the people who’ve crossed my path recently, I see major events occurring in their world, just as there are major ones occurring in mine. Perhaps it’s about their health, job, relationship, or home. It might appear adverse or positive, yet there’s always some kind of loss involved, even with the so-called positive changes. I must take time to digest the change, any associated grief, and to know that God is with me throughout it all and is my strength through any rough cycle. I seize this change as a time to really reach out to Spirit, my guides, my angels, and even human beings! Change is a particularly opportune time to grow, but I cannot do it alone. I’m grateful to have come to believe in a Power greater than myself who not only is always there for me, but helps me push my limits to grow, and makes my life and relationships rich, interesting, and meaningful. Dear God – Please comfort those who are struggling through their life changes. May they know they are not alone and look to You for strength, guidance, love, and peace.

Certainty

joyceskaye.com Posted on June 6, 2009 by JoyceJune 6, 2009

“The only certainty is that nothing is certain.” – Pliny the Elder ‘Tis true that not much in this world and life is certain. Here’s my short list of what I bank on: – God exists (what a switch for me from 19 years ago!).– God wants only the highest good for me (I sometimes get in the way of that).– God is ever present, in me, and outside of me.– I need to give attention to my relationship with Spirit if I desire a meaningful one (as with other relationships).– I can communicate in this relationship through prayer and meditation.– God will always be around to help me and to provide guidance to me (if I ask and am open). And, it is certain that the only time is now, and God is here with me, now.

A Sure Thing

joyceskaye.com Posted on June 5, 2009 by JoyceJune 5, 2009

Rog and I have this agreement that whoever prepares the meal, the other does the dishes. It works well and, at the same time, we’re both flexible so sometimes one of us will handle both tasks. Tonight Rog warmed up dinner and so I was going to clean dishes after a potty break. I was looking forward to cleaning the dishes because I figured it’d give me time to contemplate today’s blog material. However, lo and behold, when I returned to the kitchen, the dishes were all washed, a surprise from my beloved husband! I sure appreciate his thoughtfulness and giving nature. Oh, but I was going to use that time to think about what to write in my blog and to get away from the negative energy I was feeling from being at a specific location we’d stopped at this afternoon… Well, I know what to write about in my blog today, and it’s just the thing when I’m not feeling quite right or feel beset by dark forces: gratitude. And, at the top of my gratitude list – after God – is my husband, Rog. I am so grateful for his character, values, love, and companionship, for all … Continue reading →

Motivation Versus Inspiration

joyceskaye.com Posted on June 4, 2009 by JoyceJune 4, 2009

“Inspiration comes forth from within. It’s what the light burning within you is about, as opposed to motivation, which is doing it because if you don’t do it, there will be negative repercussions. Motivation is making myself do something that I don’t really want to do. Inspiration is having the clear picture of what I am wanting — and letting Universal forces come into play to get the outcome.” – Abraham (Excerpt from 07/07/99 Spokane, WA workshop) Hmmm. I’m thinking of some personal examples and, of course, all this admin work I’ve been doing clearly fits. I’m motivated to do this work solely because if I don’t, living in this culture will be a lot more difficult. However, I look forward to this particular work being done, for in the long run, I expect to be able to spend more time on being creative, to be inspired. The origin of the word inspiration comes from the Latin words in and spirare (breathe), or in other words, to breathe into. I relate this to Spirit (God) breathing into me, in fact, starting with God breathing life into me. My breath is an ever present reminder of God being in me and … Continue reading →

Winding Down

joyceskaye.com Posted on June 3, 2009 by JoyceJune 3, 2009

Well, we’ve been up to our eyeballs in drafting tax returns, corporation commission amendments, bankruptcy docs, and other ‘fun’ stuff. I can’t go on – I’m ready for a break, a God break. In the evening time, that usually means reading spiritual literature. It’s a way for me to get refreshed, be reminded of what’s really important in life (hint: it’s not the material world), and refocus on Spirit. I eagerly look forward to this time especially since I don’t engage in it as often as I’d like. I’m finishing up one of the Ringing Cedars books. These books contain some of the most important revelations to appear in thousands of years of human history — so significant, they are changing the course of our destiny and rocking scientific and religious circles to the core. Once done with that, it’s on reading the always uplifting messages from Kryon, a loving angelic entity. I delight in this relaxing time of slowing down, breathing deeper, and feeling closer to God. It’s a wonderful segue to a peaceful night’s sleep… Ahhhhh. Zzzzzzz.

Thoughts

joyceskaye.com Posted on June 2, 2009 by JoyceJune 2, 2009

“As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.” – Henry David Thoreau Thank You, Spirit, for the positive, joyful thoughts I’ve held this day and the upliftment of others their expression provided.

Happiness

joyceskaye.com Posted on June 1, 2009 by JoyceJune 1, 2009

I flipped the page of my inspirational quotes wall calendar to the new month of June and read these words of Ralph Waldo Emerson: “The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.” “To be useful” translates to me as being of service. And, that means giving – of material and financial resources and, more importantly of myself. These days, during my active kundalini meditation particularly, I pray for the highest good of each being that comes to mind, and send each the Light. I’ve come to realize that this is indeed a way that I am giving of myself, being of service. In Emerson’s words, this is a way that I am being useful. My practice also brings out my compassion for those I happen to know are going through a challenging time. And, I feel my praying for them is making a difference, as all prayer does whether we are aware of it or not. It makes a difference for the being I’m praying for, and I am blessed as well. Base on the … Continue reading →
