Listening to your heart...and french toast!

Received from the 'Notes from the Universe' today:

"The only way to get what you really want, is to know what you really want.

And the only way to know what you really want, is to know yourself.

And the only way to know yourself, is to be yourself.

And the only way to be yourself, Donna, is to listen to your heart.

I do,
The Universe

Thoughts become things... choose the good ones! ®

French toast every now and then might help, too, Donna. "

What's your heart telling you about your business today?

Love

You Simply Must Practice

In the final module of the latest class, one of our participants came up with this GEM of a quote:

“You simply must practice, there’s no better way” Said Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh.

Couldn’t have said it better myself!

"Being in Service of"

I am reading The Soul of Money by Lynne Twist. She has a vast experience and deep understanding of people and money through direct and intimate experiences over four decades of fund-raising and work in four major global initiatives: to end world hunger; to protect the rain forest; to improve health, economic, and political conditions for women; and to advance the scientific understanding of human consciousness.

In her first 45 pages, Lynne talks about the deep, soul-felt reasons that she does what she does. Those reasons seem to impel her forward in her life and career. She feels deeply committed.

Here are some of her phrases that may stimulate a sense of recognition in you and trigger a desire for a further look at your 'being in service of' statement. I will rephrase them into statements.

I am here to help myself and others discover startling truths about our human nature and human potential.
I open my heart with deep commitment to compassion and love for all.
I am a shining and visible example of the power of commitment to............
I am in service of the principles of personal transformation and empowering self-inquiry.
I am becoming a powerful instrument of what's wanted and needed for the affirmation of human life.
I help people to reconnect with their own higher calling, or soulful longing, to be the kind of people they want to be.
I provide a safe place and opportunity for people to discover and engage in their greatness.

In the beginning of her career, Lynne probably couldn't have verbalized these inner urges/feelings as well as she does now. She may have changed the words as she allowed the feelings to come up and be observed. She does admit to changing many of her beliefs as time passed and this book is really about changing our core beliefs about money and the impact that it has on the world's social, economic, and political development. Lynne Twist's wide perspective on this and much more is not to be missed!

We are each a unique and valuable piece of this puzzle we call the World. Without each and every one of us, the world would be incomplete, a lesser place.

Love,

Barbara

International Happiness Day - July 10!

More info at: http://www.InternationalHappinessDay.com

I thought you all would like to know about the first International Happiness Day. Their tag line is “ Happiness is an inside job”, which I love.

The goal: Get 1,000,000 people or more to choose to experience deep inner happiness starting on July 10th. 194 countries will be participating!

There is great power in joining with the energy of others to make a difference. This should raise our vibration and that of the Earth substantially.

See you, feel you, on July 10 as we make a commitment together to be happy!
This is a ‘no-brainer’ for me!

Love,

Barbara
