Start now; this very day!

6/27/10 When observing the behavior of most mammals, it becomes obvious that patience is an essential part of their lives.

Do you live in agreement with nature?
6/26/10 The greatest moment of your life is this one. This tick of the clock; the beat of your heart. You can spend an eternity waiting for or worrying about tomorrow.

6/25/10 The true Light is a gentle love which, rising in you, causes you to look on the world with understanding and compassion and respect.

Does your true Light shine brightly each and every day?

A creative mind is always closer to it’s source. Be creative and engage in life!
6/23/10 The universe is the harmonious interaction of all the forces that create balance and harmony. The word universe literally means “one song”. In this one song, find beauty in what you are. Accept yourself. There you will find all the peace, joy, and love you will ever need in this life.

Author - Linda BeckwithI believe everyday is a gift from our Creator. As we age, some may fear the unknown~death. People who become aware of their mortality find they have actually gained freedom to live. They have found they have an appreciation for the present. We are all here to contribute love, forgiveness, and service. As I age, I want to nourish my soul's purpose. If we are open to grace, people will appear in our lives to encourage growth of our souls. Allow me to provide daily nourishment through loving words, because joy is our birthright. I call these my daily "Truth Vitamins" for spiritual health.
