"One of the first things to do, is to Love everybody. If you have not done this, begin to do so at once." Ernest Holmes, Science Of Mind, Text p.298.3
Simple, eloquent, life affirming advice. Simple, yes, easy, not so much. Well, not always, not with everyone, all the time. It's easy to love everyone across the globe. Especially those people who are far, far away. The ones we never run across are the easiest to love, aren't they, because we don't have to deal with them! We can love everybody - at a distance! It's those people we bump up against on a daily basis that make it so difficult to love! Family, friends, the drivers on the freeway, the slow pokes in front of us and the speed demons coming up on our tails - those are the people that bug us.
And that's why we call it,"a spiritual PRACTICE." We are practicing all the time. We are forever being reminded to practice, practice, practice, being the Love in the world. We are forever being given opportunities to be the love in the world. We are forever at choice to, "be the change we seek" in the world.
So, just for today, let us be the love. Let us be the thing we seek. Let's strengthen our practice, like being at the gym of our consciousness, and let's give our love a work out! Just for today, love everybody.

Dog days
Summertime, filled with hot air, trashy fiction and doing nothing...but enough about congress.
How is the summer going for you? Thinking about it? Are you taking some time to check in with yourself and examine the fruits of your labor? This is the time when things have come into full bloom. The things we planted into the soil of consciousness in the spring sprouted, and are in full bloom in the heat of summer. What have you grown? And do you like what you got? Is it time to go back to the drawing board of your thoughts and set new intentions? Or is it time to celebrate your harvest of good fortune, wonderful company and delights of your manifestations?
Whether we manifested the summer of our dreams or are in the process of choosing again, I know that Spirit always supports its own expression, and we are that.
