A Good Day


I had one of the most powerful experiences this week as I watched a video on gratefulness:
"A Good Day" With Brother David Steindl-Rast (click to play U-Tube video)

Beautiful photos and a wonderful message from a Benedictine Monk. As I watched this 5-minute clip, the words of the monk coupled with the awe-inspiring images instilled a great sense of peace and wonder. It reminded me of what really matters and how I truly want to live my life today..

I asked my friend this morning what she wanted. What did she need? What would truly make her happy? I could feel the the sincerity coming from her glowing face as she placed a huge heartfelt wish out into the universe. She said she just wanted to feel at peace inside. To feel good about everyone and everything around her. Wow, I thought. She is only one person in the entire world who could give herself that..

May you find peace and gratitude in yours.

Look, here’s the deal…

I sat down for meditation with a hungry determination this morning. I had come to another one of those bridges in my life. A defining moment and I needed a “coming to Jesus” meeting with God. I called this important meeting before setting forth on other mindless activities that seem to always occupy me and my time. I wanted to have a one on one chat with God. “Look, here’s the deal…” I asked some very direct and pointed questions about what to do next. I had run out of options. I wanted answers and it was reckoning day as far as I was concerned!

Then I sat back and made myself an open listening station for Divine to tell me the Truth behind what I was seeking. I waited to hear bells and harps, have a Divine inspiration or a flash of insight that would knock me over. Instead I received snippets of a to-do list containing only sparks of hope. It was written in incomplete sentences rather than an obvious answer to my prayers. Somehow I couldn’t see that these actions were leading to anything other than half hopes. But I went about my day deciding to trust that my questions and intentions were heard. I began to meet the challenge head on by forging my way through the pieces of answers I received. And after having done the best I could with to-do list that I was given, I suddenly knew that something really special was going to happen. It just had to!

Something very odd came about that afternoon. I had since forgotten about my ‘coming to Jesus” meeting with God. A sudden wave of synchronistic events came about and I was interrupted by a chance meeting with a client who showed me my truth. I walked out of the meeting feeling that all is well and that what I had asked for that morning had been handled. And as the day wore on, I received more and more indicators that my prayers had been answered…two more unexpected phone calls and then two emails out of the blue. All miraculous answers to my prayers!

My realization was that I had put a VERY focused intention out to the Universe this morning and it came bounding back so intensely that I could not deny that I AM the Causation! The effect was profound!

Do this:

  • Pray like you mean it ~ Speak your Truth with a clarity of mind so convincing that it cannot not happen!
  • Listen and Trust
  • Take Action
  • Expect answers ~ my answers and things always come through people!
