The following are not idle words... but an invitation with a promise. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30 Will you accept the invitation? I did and all heaven broke loose!
When you feel emotions such as anger, fear or frustration, they are often the result of unresolved issues. Like a mirror, other people and events trigger memories of a past experience which was too painful to deal with when it first occurred. Your senses also bring up emotional issues from the past. Looking at photographs, scents, songs, certain objects and foods all have the ability to instantly take you back to a memory, sometimes one that has been deeply locked away for years. If the…
There is an adage that says, “As above, so below.” There is another that is equally true, “Go within, or go without.” As you look at yourself in the mirror, pay close attention to every detail of the way you present yourself to others. Starting from head to toe, look at everything: your hair (or lack of hair), make-up (or lack of make-up), jewelry, why you do or do not shave various parts of your body, tattoos, nails (manicured or not, painted or unpainted), perfume…

Much emphasis is placed on words which often results in misunderstandings. Little notice is given to body language or unspoken words. This is more pronounced when communicating through electronic devices. To be a more effective communicator, T.H.I.N.K. before you speak, ask yourself: T: Is it the right Time? H: Is it Honest? I: Is it about “I, I, I” (your ego)? N: Is it Necessary? K: Is it Kind? Practice using these filters before you speak. As you master this skill, you will find that…
Relinquish the need to change others. Focus your attention inward, on changing your attitude and beliefs.
