941. Directions For Life By Danielle Hollister
     Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. Memorize your favorite poem. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want. When you say, "I love you", mean it. When you say, "I'm sorry", look the person in the eye. Believe in love at first sight. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely. In arguments, fight fair. Talk…

943. True Inner Guidance By Rebecca Hanson
     It’s easy to tell the difference between true inner guidance (spirit) and ego-driven guidance: the first is attended with Love and the second with Fear.True inner guidance will always draw you into something that you are desiring or want to be, do or have. Naturally, in drawing you TO something, you are being led away from something else—avoiding unwanted circumstances.This week I experienced a delightful lesson in true inner guidance. I was st…



944. Becoming a Different Toy By Ryan Fyfe

Our creator does.Think to a time in your life where you've designed something; anything. You designed it to accomplish something to have a set …



945. Embracing Your Wildness By Sibyl McLendon
     As small children, we were all wild. Not unlike the wolf pup in the den, we ran when we felt like it, sniffed or tasted things to see what they were, yelled when the mood struck us and danced at the drop of a hat. We loved to dig in the earth, heave a rock into a pool, roll and tumble on the ground and run naked whenever we could. We loved ourselves and we loved our bodies. We knew no fear.Of course, we were also taught to give that all up.…



946. From the Hint of a Rainbow to... By Julie Jordan Scott
     The grey sky of morning contained an ominous quality. The clouds were so thick they were almost tangible. Then I saw it. Faintly sandwiched between the clouds was the hint of a rainbow. Barely visible were the bands of color, with a straining, subtle expectancy as the dim colors arched upward. It was the beginnings of a rainbow. The hint of a possibility of something beautiful, magical and rare.Was the rainbow becoming more of a rainbow? Or wou…

951. Melting Snow By Ridgely Goldsborough
     I love the sounds of melting snow—plink, plink, ting, ting, ting, a staccato drip on sloped metal roofs, the occasional loud crack of a giant icicle, the bubble and gurgle of the mountain brook as it swells and tumbles over polished rocks on its way to the valley below.I love to gaze at the majestic white peaks with knowing wonder that they will soon morph into greens, oranges, purples, reds and a myriad of ever-changing hues, a dance between t…



952. Solutions to Combat Despair and Get Results By Katherine Ly
     When bad things happen it’s a natural tendency for most people to want to wallow in despair, self-pity, and self-doubt. It makes us want to crawl in bed with the covers up and do nothing. But listen up! That’s not the way we should handle setbacks.Sit up straight. Get out of bed now! Don’t give in.Despair is a useless emotion that will just drain all your energy and drag you into a deep dark pit where it’s hard to find your way and get out of…

     "It is a commandment that you praise God. If you don't hear and lay it to heart to give glory to My Name, I will curse you." Malachi 2:1-2 (Amplified)God commands that we give Him thanks and praise everyday of the year, not just one day a year as we celebrate Thanksgiving.

958. FEAR Don’t Let it Control You! By Glen Hopkins
     Fear. What is it? Can you touch it? Can you hold it? Can you show it to another person? I can almost hear you from where I am sitting. No, no, no. Okay then, so you can’t touch it, you can’t hold it, and you can’t show it to another person. The question then is, why? Why do we have fear? Fear is nothing more than an emotion or a feeling that we hold in our mind. We fear either the emotional or physical pain something may cause. The problem is, …
