The store had Christmas music on and it seemed louder than normal. I wondered if they were trying to put everyone in the mood. It wasn’t working; except for one person.

Coming down the aisle toward me was a woman who had to be in her eighties. I have no way or really knowing, but she was dressed as if she still lived in the forties. Her hat, straight out of a Marlene Dietrich movie, was tilted at a jaunty angle.

The music playing was a lively tune. I really can’t remember as this woman took all thoughts of things other than her out of my head. I think it might have been “Here Comes Santa Clause”.

Anyway, this woman comes down the aisle and she is dancing as she pushes her cart. Now don’t think she was crazy or something, she was dancing out of pure joy. She looked at me and smiled and any grumpiness I had in me left. She was the picture of Christmas cheer. I think she was an angel sent to cheer all us shoppers up!

Look for your angel in this holiday season. I’m sure you have one, but you have to look and you have to recognize them when they show up.

Namaste!

We are creative beings! The creative flow comes from us in waves that are unimaginable. What? You mean you don’t feel that way? That’s because we all block this creativeness, to some degree.

What are the blocks? Well, I have no way of telling you what yours are. One of my biggest is the fear of criticism. However, I know that if I put away this fear of criticism, I will be fine; the creativeness of the Source of all things come through just fine. When that happens I am at my happiest! There is nothing like doing what you are created to do!

What were you created to do? What is the thing most dear to your heart and spirit? If you could do anything, what would it be? Now, find out what blocks that from happening. Find the restrictions that keep the flow of the Infinite from flowing through you. I guarantee, 100% your money back that if you allow this flow to open and come through you to its maximum, you will be on fire with Life!

What turns your day into something wonderful or something terrible? Sometimes the switch for this change is small and the difference between the two can be very small. One minute we are feeling great, the next we are down in the depths of despair; or the other way around.

For me, to go deep within my spirit, my energy, will help bring me out of the deepest funks. We so often forget who and what we are. We are created to be the image in this world of the Source of all things. The Infinite flows through us, but we must use the Spiritual energy provided by that Source for it to be visible. Without that expression, we feel no joy. The more we express the joy of the energy of Life, with a big “L,” the more joy we experience in our own lives.

Haven’t you ever experienced a sense of joy that may seem unexplainable, but, if you examined things closely, you would find that it stems from you being free to be who you are. You feel a sense of freedom in life and a self expression that is not usually there for you. This is the spirit releasing the energy of Life, the energy of the Source through you. You are always happiest being exactly who you are. When we feel as if we have to live for someone else, be someone other than ourselves, we feel no joy.

Take this day as a day to free who you are. Let the spirit that is within you, the place of energy within, have freedom to express and release. Let just this day, this moment be one that the Infinite flows through you and gives you Life!

Thoughts are energy! What you think about has its basis in the electric energy of the brain, the mind uses this thought energy to delegate action to the body. The thing you think about has energy. It may not actually come to an action, but it tries to. That thought bouncing around in your head is working at becoming reality. There are several scriptures of several faiths that tell us that what we believe, what we think, becomes reality.

What have you thought about today? What were the thoughts that were trying to become your reality? Were they good thoughts full of positive energy, working toward bettering your life?

Have you ever had the experience of waking in the morning with thoughts, positive thoughts, which seemed to practically jump out of your mind? You can’t wait to get out of bed. You can’t wait to go out and do whatever it was those thoughts told you to do. The energy you felt was so intense, you thought you might burst.

What about the opposite? Have you ever come awake with such a sense of dread that you could barely force yourself out of bed? We all have had both. The sad truth is that many of us have too many of the latter and too few of those exciting energy filled days.

Your thoughts are energy! It is up to you which of the two types of thoughts you allow yourself to have. You can turn off the negative thoughts. You can foster and build the ability to have the positive thoughts. You can link to the Source of that positive energy any time, night or day.

Spend some time today connecting to that Source. Let your mind fill with the thoughts of the Creative Force that surrounds each and every one of us. It is there for the taking, just as the air we breathe.
