I read that humor raises the energy or vibrations of people. However, humor that hurts or is sarcastic does not. It is funny, I am not normally sarcastic but at times I have been known to throw a sarcastic dagger now and again. Usually I realize that sometimes it is not taken lightly and/or misinterpreted or I did feel a certain way about a person and maybe wanted to dig at them in a humorous way. My aim is to make my humor less abrasive and more light and silly. Kids usually don’t do sarcasm but they are hilarious little people anyway. I hope to make you smile and laugh along this journey of ours.

Full article is from the Orlando Sentinel.
I am starting off by stating at one time I was a full fledged, go to church every Sunday Catholic for a good time in my late teens into my early twenties. I still have a love of Rosary Beads, Jesus, pomp and circumstance and frankincense. I however, for many sociological, moral, and personal reasons don’t believe in the dogma of the Church. So when I read this article about how the Pope wants the teaching of limbo to include the hope that God will give special dispensation for unbaptized babies going to hell. I wanted to laugh and Praise the Lord for real.
Additionally in the article the Rev. Richard McBrien, professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame, states “….we’re left with only one option, namely, that everyone is born in the state of grace.”
Finally someone who speaks my language! My personal belief is that we are all apart of God, the Spirit or soul is in direct connection to God, Source, All That Is, The Universe ect, all of the time… To think God would throw anyone away especially, babies is another way to make people believe in an Unloving God and the connection to said is gone. To feel that for a simple thing like lack of baptism could keep one from God’s love is absurd. The ego and ideas of self disapproval, unworthiness and just plain false information separates us from God and feelings of Unconditional Love that is in constant flow to everyone all the time. Many just haven’t tuned in or the haven’t let go of old conditioning.
The world would be a calmer and more peaceful and cooperative place if everyone KNEW and BELIEVED in Unconditional Love.
Think of the love you would show yourself and others if that channel was clear. Wouldn’t you treat your body better? Wouldn’t you say things more sweetly? Wouldn’t you we more grateful and want to express Godness and Goodness everyday? Wouldn’t you have faith in the process and journey of living?
I hope everyone gives themselves a Big Hug and have learned that God Truly Loves You. The energy of the Highest Vibration is Love and by being loving and compassionate to everyone and everything you are loving God and raising the vibration in the world.
Love and Hugs

I have to say that I jump often when reading as if I need to rest a bit on one topic or author but I read rather quickly when it comes to these topics because I enjoy and soak up and then pray and think about what I have read. I love, love, love learning in this arena.

Endless Love! I am not talking about the Lionel Richie song. Although every time I say the words in my head the tune comes to mind. I am posing about Endless Love because I saw a bumper sticker that I that said Endless War with endless crossed out so it to say End this War. This got me thinking about turning the bumper sticker to say Endless Love!
One of the great laws of the universe is You get what you focus on. When you think about something (especially with strong feeling) like attracts like. I am always up for a funny or thoughtful anecdote on a cars rear
but this sign got me thinking about a well known story about Mother Teresa–now stay with me. Mother Teresa was asked to attend an anti-war rally. She said no but said if there is a Peace rally she would be on board. She knew the universal law. She didn’t want more war, she wanted more Peace. She was a fine example of teaching the path to the evolution of the soul and us here on this wonderful blue planet. I would say if you want more good stuff (love, peace) you need to focus on what is loving and peaceful in your life first and that will have a domino effect. That doesn’t mean lie to yourself but change your thinking to the more positive higher thought. For example: say you fell and broke your leg, don’t pretend and say well all is right I don’t feel pain and I am healthy. Get yourself to a doctor stat. What it means is to honor the feelings you are having whatever they are (sadness, frustration, worry, pain) then let go of them don’t focus on them for hours, days, weeks or years. Focus on the good stuff- I am healing and healthy. I am breathing and now that that is over let me have a laugh with my friends or with myself. Focus on the good stuff for days and weeks and let the not so good stuff roll off your back. If the bad stuff keeps coming up in your head, say to your self ok I accept that feeling or thought now and reach for a happy, positive thought. Say to the negative junk I gave you your time now its Feeling Good’s turn.
I hope you all feel the Endless Love I am sending you and Hope you have a joyful and fun day.

There are many different avenues one can pursue and none more important than learning about oneself. It is normal to switch and change jobs if one isn’t getting what they need from a current position. A lot of emphases has been in recent times about finding passion. Passion can mean different things to different people. One can mean a general contentment and happiness of life. Some take it to mean pride of work and of self, some think it is the spirit’s purpose on earth or a calling to do something spacific. The later one can lead to disappointment as it eludes to one need to find something outside of themselves for fulfillment. Maybe passion isn’t a “job” but contribution to the world, which could mean a job but could also mean being a conscious loving being. The universe has a way of teaching each of us something all the time. Most of us are unconscious to that idea. Sometimes you have to go through crappy jobs to learn from them to be able to handle what God sends your way in the future. But Timing is everything! This means when you are ready and your light is on. Some people throughout life never turn their light on. This can be due to fear, other peoples expectations, being tired, hung up on past results, being lazy (I hate to say it but some are, most have underling reasons for laziness though, lack of confidence and lack of self-love or acknowledging God’s love.) Not doing the work as uncomfortable as it may be to change. Not shining your light in the world is why most people don’t feel fulfilled. Finding a passion or purpose eases when we grow and acknowledge universal laws and our own inner vibration, love, positive thought and action. Willingness to adapt will get you to joy faster as we become less fearful and more confident in the self and in the God/Universe. We all need to lighten up on the whole passion idea and find out who each of us REALLY is. Gratitude, self acceptance=self love (for the good and the not so good parts of oneself), faith in life and yourself all add up to a nice recipe. Joy, pride, contentment, contribution, fellowship and a host of adjectives that describe states of being that one should take with them no matter where they go and can lead to the passion or purpose their life.

Recently I read a few articles pointing to the fact the U.S., by mental health stats, is the most depressed nation of people in the world. Could this be? I say absolutely! We live in a society that has many layers just like there are many layers to people. From the outside and by many standards the U.S. is a glorious place to live on earth. Wide open spaces, freedoms of choice of thought, action, deed, will and the responsibility there of. We have many blessings on a national and also very local level within our own worlds. I have never been outside of the U.S. yet but from what I can feel it seems the more simply people live, living with community that there is love and in turn joy. This simplicity maybe by choice or by financial decree. I also think many Americans, I myself included, have the so called “luxury” to wallow in self pity. This is not to say mental illness is all self pity. There can be medical reasons for depression and various forms of mental illness but I speak of a different illness that has creep-ed in everybody’s psyche at one point or another in their lives. The kind of party that no one really likes to go to. The pity party. But this can turn into Depression. This dis-ease is of rotten fruit that is picked by not taking stock at all the wonderful things in life. As small as breathing (thats way more than a mini blessing). In the U.S. we have the true luxury, if we choose to do the hard work, to change our circumstances by focus and action in the direction of hope instead of lack and despair. This includes not living Life, as hard as it can be at times, with Zest and Vigor and Thanksgiving for the opportunities granted as a human being. I personally am striving everyday to be Thankful for at least one thing, that one things always leads to more things that are blessings within my own little world and in turn helps me see all the Good in the world as a whole. I am thankful for all of you who read this and share your thanksgiving with others.

Sometimes when things feel very big they can feel scary. For instance, this website for teaching and learning and guidance. I haven’t been writing and I could list a number of excuses but the biggest is fear. From a logical point there is nothing to fear on putting information and advice and interests of spirit on to the web. My soul actually a number of times has gotten me to write a few pages on paper but for some reason I was holding back on writing here. The BIGness of this and my fear seems to be a lack of faith which I will be ending by being like the advertisment by Nike and “Just Do It!” That is the only way to conquer the beast known as fear. Additionally, I sometimes have a perfectionist problem. For example: if this site is not the perfect layout, or circumstances like my dishes are cleaned or position of the Sun is at the wrong angle (joking) that I tend to have a hard time starting things that are meaningful to me because of the fear of not being perfect. My Spirit Soul Lesson for today is obviously - Perfection is God and the Universe that created me. I am evolving, growing and becoming more everyday. I do not have to try. I only need to be and that is Perfect enough. Besides attempting to be perfect and scared is a waste of Good God Energy. I could do something wonderful with the extra time not fretting. Like sending loving thoughts to others, playing with my cat and loving myself a little more. So here we go… I hope you enjoy the journey with me.
Love and Hugs,
