Coach Thyself

We skipped Napa this weekend to be here for my elderly parents. The time has come for them to have 24/7 care at home, at a price they can afford. Are you listening Universe? I'm putting out my intention that the perfect person who needs this job will be attracted to it in a way that only God knows. As for me, I am learning to appreciate the fragility and richness of life as I watch and participate in my parents' "later years." They are funny, (usually) sharp, and most of all, fiercely independent. They watch the news, read the paper, crossed the street to vote for President and still laugh at jokes. They want to do these years their way. Who am I to disagree? I'm coaching myself to maintain my perspective, trust in God and to manifest what I need here. It will show up. And I'll let you know all about it!

Renewal

Spring is the time of renewal, Easter, the time of the Resurrected Christ. As you approach this day, already into the Lenten Season, reflect upon how you can resurrect yourself. How can you rise and walk? May you experience many miracles this Easter and always. Paula

Good Deeds

#558 Overcome Obstacles to ActionAt times you might have negative reactions when trying to perform a good deed. You might feel rebellious and would rather not do the deed. Do not feel sad or nervous about this. The essence of doing good deeds is the effort, and we cannot expect it will always be easy to do the right thing. Have a conversation with yourself. Ask yourself why you find it difficult. What exactly is bothering you? This will give you personal insight and will help you grow.
