​BLOG #24 – LET THERE BE PEACE
 
A Famous Phrase for sure
 
LET THERE BE PEACE
 
But what does that mean?
 
What does it mean to you?
 
To me, it’s simply to be Peace inside
 
To center myself and remember to be grateful for the life I have
 
To embrace gratitude as a way of being
 
And to live each day in remembrance of the joy of being alive
 
Not a Pollyanna..
 
I have simply learned to appreciate each day as a gift
 
The gift of Life
 
And I Am grateful.
 
What does Let There Be Peace Mean To You?

BLOG #23 – PEACE IS A DAILY PRACTICE
 
Peace is a Daily Practice I believe because if we want to sustain peace inside we need to take a moment each day to recognize and acknowledge peace.  That is what I have found for me and ask you to consider for yourself.
 
One day last week I awoke to some minor irritations with my bank having not correctly made a wire transfer and I had  to deal with that.  It took a meditation and deep breathing for me to release the irritation and move forward.
 
Such a minor thing when you think of all the challenges that people are facing, but for me this was a reminder that I  need to practice being peace each day.
 
I made the mistake of reading my messages before doing the guided meditation that I was planning for that morning.  Once I had done it I was  relaxed and in full awareness that this would be resolved.  I needed patience and my peace practice to let it unfold as I took the steps to resolve it.  And, of course it was resolved with some effort but mostly ease.
 
I’m sharing this because it’s a reminder of how easy it is to fall out of peaceful practices and to share that it can be fairly easy to be mindful and return to a peaceful state.
 
There are no rights or wrongs.  Just methods to restore the peace that sometimes hides inside of me.
 
Update: The  Let’s Be Peace book is progressing nicely,  more about that in weeks to come!
 
Grateful for each of you.

​BLOG #22 – A TECHNIQUE FOR  PEACE INSIDE
 
Recently my dear friend Emmanuel Dagher wrote about a simple technique to center and calm oneself and in our vernacular, to be Peace.  It appeared  in his May Forecast newsletter.  Emmanuel is one of the contributors in the Let’s Be Peace collaborative book due out later this year.
 
I was so taken by his simple method that I asked his permission to share widely and he agreed.  Here it is:
 
Whenever you find that the mind is getting caught up in the details and stories of life that feel challenging, here’s a simple technique that can help:
1.    Pause for a moment, and take three deep, full breaths.
2.    Close your eyes.
3.    Imagine yourself (your awareness) stepping out of your body, and see yourself sitting there with your eyes closed.
4.    Just observe yourself for 1 – 3 minutes.
5.    Bring your awareness back into your body. Start by focusing on the bottoms of your feet, and then move up the body to the palms of your hands, then your heart, then the top of your head.
6.    Gently open your eyes.
7.    Express gratitude to your Spirit self for reminding you to objectively “see” yourself.
 
As you’ve read over the weeks of this blog and elsewhere there are many simple techniques to assist you in feeling peace inside and Being Peace.
 
Comments always welcome.

​BLOG #21 – PEACEFUL SIGNS
 
You might not be thinking that things are peaceful at this time, at least not on the outside so I challenge you to look for the peaceful signs all around you.
 
Look in your home.  Are there items that remind you of being peaceful?
For me it’s many things.  The pictures of loved ones past and present.  The symbols like crystals and rocks and a carving of a little dog carved by one of my the father of one of my soul-sisters many years ago.  Representatives of the animal kingdoms smiling at me.  Lions, a Unicorn and a Green Dragon all brighten my day. 
 
Look at nature.  For me I have crows and pigeons just outside my window.   Trees and Ocean and Sand all greet me when I walk to them. 
 
Friends and Family.  Do any of them represent a peaceful world to you?
I Am blessed with many people who are exuding peace inside and are bringing peace to the world in their own special ways.  Sometimes we just have to look deeper into what they are saying or doing and sometimes we can assist them in their path to being peace.
 
As I search for peace inside of me it gets easier to find peace outside also. 
 
So I encourage you to celebrate the peace you find inside and seek signs of peace everywhere.  They are there.
 
As always, comments are welcome.
 
Love and Trust yourself.

​BLOG #20 – JOY
 
Finding Joy in all things
 
Finding Joy in everything we do
 
Finding Joy in everything we feel
 
Finding Joy inside and out of ourselves
 
Being Joy
 
Living a Joy filled life
 
Sounds a bit ‘heady’ I know but as I mature I realize that Joy is a state of mind.   I find Joy in visiting a special Tree and being near the Ocean.
 
I find Joy in my cozy apartment surrounded by the objects and pictures of those I love!
 
Learning to find Joy in all the little things that surround us is a life long journey and one that I Am grateful for.
 
Enjoy your journey.
