Compassionate Conversations

Rainbow Warriors

TODAY’S LIFE LESSON: reminds us that after all of the gatherings and celebrations we have been attending, are we feeling like we were heard?  like we made a difference?  that we contributed something special to the lives of others?

At this point in our evolutionary journey, we must focus diligently on the energy we are contributing to the sum of the whole.  If the conversation you are engaged in is not uplifting, encouraging or inspiring towards self and others, then it is an opportunity for you to elevate the energy by turning the focus towards a more loving direction.

It is easy to get caught up in dialogues that repeat the old patterns of criticism, humiliation or just plain judgment, but we are in a place of knowing better now, so it is time to do better, and then ultimately our whole world will be better.  This process takes courage, for many are still stuck in their rut of victim or needing to be right.  Be gentle in your redirection of their focus, and see how easily you can become the leader of our new world of peace instead of a follower in the old world of war.

COMPLIMENTARY= help others see their sacred side
ENCOURAGING= support the growth of soul self & others
UPLIFTING= take the focus to a new and higher awareness
INSPIRING= show others how much better it feels

And A Little Child Shall Lead Them Home

Maternal Blessings

TODAY’S LIFE LESSON: brings home the truth about ourselves and our loved ones when it comes to gifts and giving.  This year for Christmas, we decided to provide our grandchildren with newer updated toys for when they come to visit.  They had reached the age where the other toys were too young and therefore not inspiring for them to play with when they come to visit.

Our idea of not giving them directly to the kids was so they would not feel they had to take them home after opening them on Christmas Eve.  That would be a very hard thing for them to understand, so we came up with a plan to gift them to each other.  I gave Grampa a box containing 5 sets of lego blocks that would inspire hours of creative play and interaction with all his grandkids – and Grampa gave me a box filled with 8 different barbie dolls complete with extra clothes and accessories.

How did we know, that this would be a disappointment to the grandkids!  They looked at their usual gift of pyjamas and slippers along with a stuffed animal puppy to enjoy cuddling as they went home to get ready for Santa, and said ‘Is that all there is?”  This was an unexpected disappointment on both sides.  We were sure they would appreciate all the new things that they could experience when they came to visit us – but they were looking at what they would be taking home and their eyes said it all.

So in my conversation with Source before bed, I asked – ‘Why are we always such a disappointment to our children and grandchildren?”  And the unexpected answer came back – ” Now you know how I feel.  I answer prayers, assist recoveries, inspire blessings and a multitude of other miraculous events to all of my beloved creations, and they still seem to be searching for more . . . and some are even disappointed with what they got.”

DISAPPOINTMENT= not receiving what we thought we deserved
DISCOURAGEMENT= feeling we will never get what we deserve
DISPARAGEMENT= not understanding what we truly desire

The Greatest Gift Of All –

Honour Traditions

TODAY’S LIFE LESSON: honours the traditions of many cultures and religions as we all strive impart the same messages of hope and peace this time of year.  We are all formed by the same sacred light of creation, and at some point will accept we are all one.  It can be challenging to acknowledge each others differences, but in the end it those same differences that make us unique and inspirational pieces of the cosmic puzzle called life.

In the days drawing near to the celebration of peace and the concept of giving, let us consider the offering the greatest gift of all. The gift that each of us deserves to have and to share both from within ourselves, and within the hearts of humanity that we share this great planet with – that gift is forgiveness.  For – giving – without conditions or expectations.

FORGIVENESS= to give without conditions or exceptions
FORGIVING= to give freely of ones own heart and soul
FORGIVEN= to be free of judgment or criticism
