Good morning, beautiful friends. 🥰 Today’s sentence from A Course in Miracles: “Do not be afraid to use ‘good’ thoughts as well as ‘bad.’” I love this one. A couple of years ago, I hung out with Dr. John Demartini, and this was my takeaway. It was refreshing after spending so much time feeling like only the good; I met Dr. Demartini, and he reassured us that we need the good & bad, the positive & negative, and that the yin & yang symbol wouldn't be complete without equal amounts. It was refreshing!! Sometimes we become so focused on noticing the thoughts we don’t want that we forget to welcome the thoughts that support us consciously. A peaceful thought matters. A loving thought matters. A hopeful thought matters. A thought of gratitude matters. We don’t have to fear our minds or judge ourselves for having thoughts we don’t like. We can become aware and choose again. Today, notice the thoughts that bring you a little more peace. And when you find one, stay with it. Let yourself receive it. Let yourself believe that a kinder thought is also available. What is one “good” thought you could carry with you today? Open for discussion. 🤔

"My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we’ll change the world." ~ Jack Layton

Good morning beautiful friends. Today’s sentence from A Course in Miracles: “He is sure that his perception may be faulty, but will never lack correction.” This was interesting and I find something deeply comforting in this. We don’t have to be certain that we’re seeing everything correctly. We don’t have to have all the answers. We simply need to remain willing to see differently. Sometimes our first perception comes through fear, past experiences, expectations, or judgment. But recognizing that our perception may be incomplete creates an opening for something new. Instead of saying: “This is how it is.” We can say: “Perhaps I am not seeing this clearly yet.” That small willingness can create space for understanding. Today, when something feels difficult or confusing, pause and ask: “Am I willing to see this another way?” We don’t have to force clarity. We only have to remain open to correction. And perhaps that is where peace begins. Open for discussion.

Good morning beautiful friends. Today’s sentence from A Course in Miracles: “We look neither ahead nor backwards.” What if peace becomes easier when we stop trying to live in the past or control the future? The past can pull us into regret, memories, and old stories. The future can pull us into worry, anticipation, and imagined outcomes. But this moment is where our life is actually happening. Today, instead of looking backwards at what was or ahead at what might be, pause. Take a breath. Feel where you are. And ask yourself: “What is here for me right now?” Perhaps we don’t need to know what comes next. Perhaps we don’t need to rewrite what has already happened. Perhaps, for this moment, we can simply be here. Neither ahead. Neither behind. Just here. Open for discussion.🥰

Good morning beautiful friends. Today’s sentence from A Course in Miracles: “And we will also use this thought to keep us safe throughout the day.” I love the simplicity of this. What if the thoughts we consciously choose can become an anchor we return to throughout our day? When uncertainty arises, we can pause. When judgment appears, we can pause. When fear begins to take over, we can pause. And gently return to the thought we have chosen. We don’t have to get it perfect. We simply have to remember. What thought would you choose today as your anchor, a thought that brings you back to peace, trust, and love? Carry it with you. Return to it as often as you need. Sometimes coming back to one peaceful thought is enough to change the direction of an entire day. Open for discussion.
