Corinthians 13

My friend, David shared this passage; Corinthians 13 at the workshop I attended last week in Mt. Hood, Oregon: Path To Authentic Power.

Gary Zukav and Linda Francis teach this workshop which is based on their books about creating authentic power.

Corinthians 13 reminds me of something Gary shared with me many years ago, he said, “There is nothing Love cannot heal.”  So true, and reading this reminds me when I forget.

Corinthians 13

LOVE

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Dogs Are Angels On Earth

I came across this piece, Reader's Dog Photos on the NY Times website; people submit pictures of their dogs. I found the images uplifting and wanted to share it with everyone. 

Dogs are God's gifts to us.

Angels are everywhere

We were running behind schedule for our 7am departure at Newark Airport; I wasn’t concerned until the insurmountable security line confronted us. It didn’t look good. We had 20 minutes to catch the plane. My first choice was to relax; thinking we’ll make it just in the nick of time. But as time passed quickly and the line moved slowly, I suddenly knew we would not make our flight. I had to do something, but what? I was ensconced in a sea of unhappy travelers. Intuitively, I bolted out of the line to find help. There was no one in sight, except two TSA workers. I called to them and asked for help, they shook their heads ‘no’ in reply. I began to walk back to the line, and let go of the attachment to the outcome of making my flight. When out of nowhere, a man called to me. He quickly showed me his badge, checked my ticket and escorted us to the front of the line. We arrived at the gate as the cabin door was closing.

I’m quite sure this man was an angel; perhaps not the celestial variety of angel, yet, an angel non the less. We all have the potential to serve as angels for each other.
The visual archetype of an angel is a human with wings to fly; it is a beautiful metaphor for our aspirations to rise to our highest potential and greatest good.

EVIDENCE OF ANGELS Arrives

After 3 years of working on my new book,  EVIDENCE OF ANGELS it’s finally here. My lovely editor, Alyson over at HarperCollins just sent me an advance copy. It’s so exciting to hold it in my hands.

I always knew angels were present in my life but I was not aware of their constant guidance and messages until I began working on this book. Day after day the angels guided me to people and places to support me in the creation of this book.

I’m so excited to share this book with everyone.

 

Listen

I wonder how many of us really listen when someone is speaking to us.

I was at a party recently and a friend was sharing an experience she had with me. While in the grocery store she noticed an old woman struggling to find a bottle in the spice rack. My friend asked the woman if she could help her find what she was searching for. The old woman said she was looking for paprika and it was difficult for her to read the small type on the bottles. After the spice was located the woman began to tell my friend about her life. They spent 45 minutes together in the store as the woman shared deep and meaningful reminiscences of her life. When old woman finished she thanked my friend for listening.  My friend shared her feelings of gratitude for the opportunity to simply listen.

 

I was touched by this story and it made me think about how often life feels too busy to stop and listen. 

We are always being sent messages from angels to support us in living to our highest potential.  This story was gift to remind me to stop and listen to the guidance and wisdom being shared with me everyday.

 

 

Waiting For My Life To Begin

One of my favorite books is…"Oh, the Places You’ll Go!" by Dr. Seuss. This book imparts truth and wisdom brilliantly.

Excerpt…

The Waiting Place…for people just waiting. Waiting for a train to go

or a bus to come, or a plane to go or the mail to come, or the rain to go

or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow or waiting around for Yes or No

or waiting for their hair to grow.

Everyone is just waiting.

Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting to fly a kite or waiting around for Friday night

or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil, or a Better Break

or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.

Everyone is just waiting.

NO!

That’s not for you!

Somehow you’ll escape all that waiting and staying. You’ll find the bright places where Boom Bands are playing.

…And will you succeed?

Yes! You will, indeed!

(98 and ¾ percent guaranteed.)

KID, YOU’LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!

…Your mountain is waiting.

So…get on your way!

-Dr. Seuss

This excerpt has always resonated with me because I used to spend my time waiting, too. I was waiting for my life to begin. Each day was leading to a better day, and in my imaginary future I would be happy and fulfilled. One day, everything changed, more accurately I changed. I stopped waiting. It was as if an angel touched me with the awareness that each moment is sacred and all I truly have is the present moment. The preciousness of life unfolded before me, and embraced me. Each morning I began to ask, “What will I choose to do with my precious moments? Live from my Love or live from my fear?”

What if you believed your life was precious; that all life is precious? How would your life change?

This is the question we all must ask ourselves.

Begin Today

Recently, I had an interesting conversation… a friend said, “Some artists have one great work in them and that’s it; while other artists are prolific…” I found this so fascinating because from a superficial point of view this is true but when I look deeper, from my soul’s perspective, I know everyone has boundless creativity and infinite possibilities to express themselves no matter what form of expression they choose. It is fear that holds a person back from giving their gifts fully. We all have gifts to share whether it is creating artwork, music, food, gardens, clothing, a business…or anything else that comes from your highest potential and loving self.

It is never too late to follow your bliss and reach for the stars; true courage is the strength to face your deepest fears of unworthiness and powerlessness by challenging the destructive thoughts that keep you trapped in a self-constructed prison of limitations and regrets. We were meant for something bigger: something magnificent: beckons of Light for all to see.

Begin today…

Angel Of Inspiration

Angel Of Inspiration by Suza Scalora

Be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, 

no less than the trees and the stars.

In the noisy confusion of life,  keep

peace in your soul.

- Max Ehrmann

The Mirror Of Divine Beauty by Rumi

                 Augustine from THE FAIRIES

Rumi is always filled with wisdom and love.

My good friend Kelly sent me this and I felt moved to share it 

with all of you...

You are the secret of God's secret.

You are the mirror of divine beauty.

Everything in the universe is within you.

Ask all from yourself.

The One at whom you are looking is you also.

Nelson Mandela's Inaugural Speech

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant? Gorgeous? Talented?

Fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of god.

Your playing small doesn't serve the world.

There's nothing enlightened about shrinking

so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of god that is within us.

It is not just in some of us: it is in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine,

We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

As we are liberated from our own fears,

Our presence automatically liberates others.

This is a piece written and illustrated by the artist Maira Kalman, entitled, "And The Pursuit Of Happiness." It chronicles her visit to Thomas Jefferson's home; Monticello in Virginia.

I really enjoyed it and felt it was appropriate, as it is the day after July 4th- Independence Day.

It appeared on her blog in the NY Times.
