Celebrate Your Life!

By -

This is a day to celebrate! To look in the mirror and to see the real reflection staring back at us.
To see the beautiful person that God created in a very unique and bold way...It is a time to really look at ourselves...to look deep within, to the core of who we are inside, so that our outside reflection mirrors our true identity.

I have a very gifted counselor who sees the real me-even when I don't. And according to her, it's a pretty-amazing view. It feels as though the holy spirit is guiding her to guide me to a peaceful harmony with myself. To move me into the now- so that the past stays where it belongs, rathering than pulling me backward.


I'm learning the critical value of affirming my gifts and the unique design that is my life. How many times a day do you tell yourself all the wonderful things things that you are...or remind yourself of all your wonderful accomplishments? Instead, do you look in the mirror and see your mistakes or the scars they've left- that are really only apparent to you? Try beginning and ending each day giving thanks for the gift of you-for your breath of life...for the positive energy that your life gives back to the world you live in. Try remembering that you are here for a divine purpose and that your life matters--to God, to others and to yourself. Seize the gusto of this life, by seizing the day...one second, one moment at a time. Because as I have learned--if we can focus on this day...making healthy choices today...then yesterday will have been brighter- and there is promising hope for a better tomorrow.
The AA mantra, One Day At A Time, means just that-to learn to live one day at a time. To embrace every single day with every ounce of energy and enthusiasm you can muster. To know that every single day is a new beginning, a new chance to pick up the pieces of your life and put yourself into the position that will propel you into peace and harmony-and the success and happiness that you so richly deserve.

Our divine inheritance is to Love with an open, giving heart-to accept with a clarity of purpose and to believe in ourselves-simply because we were formed before we were ever put in the womb, we were anointed before we were ever born! Now that's mind boggling...but that's how much your life has been valued! Get going! Celebrate your life-today and every day!

From the Tao of Inner Peace-

AFFIRMATION
I now know my life is peaceful and harmonious. I love myself. I accept myself. I am one with Tao. I am open and honest. I have nothing to hide. I respect myself and the process. I harmonize with nature and all others in my world. I accept greater peace in my life now. And so it is.

SUBLIME AUDACITY!

By -

I have all the signs and symptoms of something I just learned about today...Sublime Audacity. That's right...I have the audacity to believe-that anything is possible-anything at all-with God. In fact, I believe that there is one cure for all the world's ills...and that cure rests with -and in God. In a world of material wealth, individual desires and carefully orchestrated managed care...When people search the world over for the answers that never come, the healings that rarely happen and the hope that always gets dashed by the next person...I believe that there is only one steady stream of consciousness that always gets it right...and that is God. I've personally experienced it time and again and every time I look elsewhere or seek some other solution, I always come crawling back to the staying power of my higher power...Because let's face it...Once we have the audacity to tell anyone-anyone at all that God is responsible for all the good in our lives or the Love that

OUR LADY OF JOY, HANCEVILLE ALABAMA

High atop a hill in Hanceville Alabama, broken hearts are being healed and hope is being restored. Our Lady of Joyful Hope is a community of young men who are finding new freedom through a life of authentic truth. Once lost in the darkness of addiction they are now living in the light of Christ who is transforming them from the inside out...And their families, if they are open and willing, are being transformed right alongside them. Recently, I spent three days with this community, listening to the young men, their parents and to the foundress, Mother Elvira, who flew in from Italy for the anointing of the new community house and the celebration that followed. Mother Elvira's life story is on par with Mother Teresa. She is an Italian nun who heard the call from God to snatch souls from Satan by delivering young men and women from the demonic grip of addiction. She gave up everything familiar, walked straight into the wilderness and wound up becoming a living legacy for desperate fa

HRUSHIV UKRAINE: APPARITIONS OF THE BLESSED MOTHER

By -

Twenty four years ago today, April 27, 1987 the Blessed Mother allegedly appeared in Hrushiv Ukraine with a warning and words of consolation. She came on the Feast of the Ascension, exactly one year after the nuclear reactor disaster at Chernobyl saying "Do not forget those who have died...Chernobyl is a reminder and a sign for the whole world." In 1990 while producing a television documentary in Ukraine, I visited Hrushi and interviewed a handful of people who had witnessed the apparition above the church of the Holy Trinity. In all, some five hundred thousand witnesses claimed to have seen the Virgin Mary over a four month period. Mary apparently told them she came to thank the Ukrainian people because they had suffered so much at the hands of a raging lion who had been prowling around seeking whom he could devour. She said their suffering would come to an end and one day Ukraine would become an independent state. She then urged disciplined, Christian fortitude, "
