Love, Simply Love

When we know not what to do,
When things seem to be unraveling,
When mountains are too high to climb,
When lost in depression and fear,
Just love, simply Love.

When traffic is bad,
When noise is all around,
When pollution is everywhere,
Love, simply Love.

When you have argued and fought,
When finances are out of control,
When kids are unhappy and crying,
Love, simply Love.

When you have worked long hours,
When your muscles are achy and tired,
When you are so tired you can’t sleep,
Love simply Love.

To Love is to trust.
To Love is to appreciate.
To Love is to seek the Truth.
To Love is to reach out.
To Love is to have faith.
To Love is to envision with God.
To Love is to listen with all your heart.
To love is to keep giving.
To Love is to know “This too shall pass”.
To Love is to enjoy every moment.
To Love is to find the humor.
To Love is to take impeccable care of You.
To Love is to forgive all judgments.
To Love is to be here now.
To Love is to stop the fear, anger, and tears by asking, “What else can I do with the life energy I have?”
To Love is to Let go. Open your heart. Vent in private. Expect miracles.

I am loving You,
Betty Lue

Partnerships

I have moved my offices two buildings back with same address, same phone number, now Suite #1000.
We are upstairs in the prosperity and power corner of Building “E” for Excellence in Loving Service.
We view trees out all our windows with southeastern exposure. Initially, I am partnering with a nutritionist and massage therapist and soon others who seek professional partnership, mentoring and creative collaboration to serve the Good of All. Yesterday we completed the move, decorated and feng shui’d our space. It is filled with light, beauty and Love. (Open House on December 21st.)

Who are your partners in life?
Who are your partners in love?
Who are you partners in healing?
Who are your partners in creativity?
What is true partnership for you?
How do you find willing ones to create partnership?

Prerequisites for partnership:
Common Vision or Desired Outcome
Honesty and Openness
Equality in Giving and Receiving
Willing teach and learn with one another.
Commitment to what is best for both parties.
Impeccable Self-Care.
Respect for themselves and for all others.
Responsibility: Able to Respond to what is needed with no guilt or blame.
Co-operation: Seeks to bring fairness, harmony, benefit and goodwill to all endeavors.

When you are ready and willing, your partners-in–training will arrive.
Partnerships are functional relationships.

You are my partners in Spirit,
Betty Lue

Feeling Safe

I am reminded how being safe and feeling safe may be two different things.
Are you safe in your home?
Are you safe in you car?
Are you safe with you Mom?
Are you safe on the streets?
Are you safe with your friends?
Are you safe in your dreams?
Are you safe in your body?
Are you safe in your mind?

What creates feeling safe?
Locked doors, having a gun, living in a locked community, having lots of police…?
Having faith, living a good life, having a positive attitude, knowing you are strong?
Is safety a product of circumstances, facts or faith?
Is safety a function of attitude, karma or coincidence?

If we believe nowhere are we safe, so it will feel.
If we believe we are safe everywhere, so it will seem.

“In my defenselessness, my safety lies.” (from A Course in Miracles) may mean that where we are worried, fearful, protective and defensive,we conjure up images of lack of safety in our mind and then are more likely to experience them in our experience.
Where we know, believe, and perceive safety, there we are likely to experience, “All is well”, no matter what the appearances.

When we know we are safe, we act, think, drive and live in ways that encourage safe conduct in ourselves and others. Where we believe we are safe with God, safe with faith, safe within our consciousness, we live in a manner which attracts others who are choosing the same and are willing to co-create a safe world. Safety is a product of our mind.
Loving, gentle and kind thoughts beget loving, kind and gentle emotions, behaviors and experiences.

You are safe in Love,
Betty Lue

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am so grateful for everything.
What I resist, I learn to embrace.
What I fear, I learn to love.
What I avoid, I learn to confront.
What I doubt, I learn to trust.
What I enjoy, I learn to enhance.
What I believe, I learn to live.
What I teach, I learn.
What I receive, I learn to give.
What I create, I learn to appreciate.
I am learning from everything in life.

The greatest gifts for me are forgiveness, choice and gratitude.
With forgiveness, I can erase all misperceptions in my mind.
With choice, I can choose my focus and intention.
With gratitude, I can expand what I value.

I am grateful for you in my life.

Blessing All

Everyone in our lives is a gift.
Everyone is part of our sacred assignment.
Everyone represents some part of ourselves, either seeking love or offering love.
Everyone who comes into our lives even for a brief moment is an opportunity to bless and be blessed.
Every person and circumstance we experience is part of our response-ability.
We are on the rescue squad, the volunteer fire department, the parenting team, the spiritual awakening crew.
We are here to share what we have and receive even more than we can imagine.
For each time we reach out with healing forgiveness and loving gratitude it is we who are blessed.
We benefit.
We expand our consciousness.
We learn that giving is receiving.
We recognize the world is safe, when we are safe place.

This is an awesome and wondrous laboratory and projection screen.
What we give is reflected back and often magnified with our joy and appreciation.
What we imagine and conjure up in the inventive department of our minds becomes larger than life in our relationships.
The past experiments “gone wrong” were just a chance to see as a child would, “Woops! Let’s do that differently next time.”
It is time for us to lighten up on ourselves.
It is time to enjoy what comes our way and appreciate the value of every encounter.
It is time to let go of monetary compensation as the leader and let the reality of what is of lasting value be our guide.
It is time to be a friend to everyone, but especially to ourselves.
It is time to give thanks for all that is and know with ourgratitude comes inner peace.
It is time to bless and be blessed with every breath.

There is nothing of special importance. Every moment is important.
When we are awake, it is all important…every person, every situation and every moment.
May you be grateful for the gift of your life which you give to yourself daily.
I am giving thanks,
Betty Lue

Thanking you for living your life with consciousness, responsibility and freedom.

Gratitude Everyday

We live in one of the wealthiest and most free nations in the world.
Are you rich? Are you free?
Do you appreciate the privileges you have?
Do you value the opportunities to be and do whatever pleases you?
As a people, do we complain or appreciate?
Do we value what we have or demand something better?
Is it our demands that increase our riches?
Is it a motivator to strive, to compete, to complain?
Are we greedy? Are we needy? Do we have plenty or do we lack?

What seems to be lacking is our appreciation.
What seems to be needed to realize our wealth is our gratitude.
What would give us a solid foundation on which to celebrate is our thanksgiving.

When we give thanks, we can see our blessings.
When we give thanks, we feel respect for our elders.
When we give thanks, we know where we stand.

Give thanks today and everyday.

Grateful for you and the Spirit that gives to us All,

Light Heals

Have you noticed there is less light?
Have you felt sad or depressed?
Have you found hopelessness or fatigue setting in?
Does the world seem difficult and in despair?

Light workers unite.
Calling in Light.
No need for fright,
With Love in sight.

Yes, you and I can call on “more light” both within and without.
We need those who seek to share the Good, the beautiful and the Holy with our families and our world.
There is indeed a call to clear the clutter and the pain, to regain some sanity, harmony and Good Will.
When we have more light, we see the mess we have left.
When we have more light, we have more need to forgive.
When we have more light, there is more clearing to be done.
When we have more Light, we can make everything fun.
When we have more Light we will be of Good cheer.
When we have more light, we see Love is right here.

Let us be the Light Bearers and the Love Finders.
Let us be the ones being aware of our own dark corners of unconsciousness.
Let us be the ones offering more light with our forgiveness and healing.
Let us be the ones to bring enlightenment with our choice to see the Light.
Let us be the ones to Live and let live, to give and set free all those we see.
Let us be the ones who “shine, shine, shine all around our neighborhood.”
Let us be the ones to call forth more Light, wherever we see the dark.

Bringing Joy to you brings Joy to me,
Betty Lue

Clearing Habits and Addictions

What are your habits and addictions?
Worry, judging, talking on the phone, TV, reading, eating, cleaning, staying busy, isolating yourself, using stimulants or depressants, (marijuana, alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, diet pills), exercise, sex, sweets or ??
All of us have habits which are either beneficial, destructive or distracting.
It is our choice about what habits to hold in place and which ones to clear.
Know that habits and addictions are learned.
They often handle, distract, numb or cover up inner hurt, anger or fear.
They are often used to assist the busy person to relax or the lazy person to accomplish something.
They may help the shy person become more social or cover the pain and fear of being alone, bored and isolated.
Habits and addictions are a coping mechanism to deal with the changes in life in an unconscious way.

If you are called to release a destructive or distracting habit or addiction, some helpful hints are:
Be aware of what your habits and addictions are.
Acknowledge or confess them to someone who will release them with you or write in a journal.
Forgive, release and let go of your limiting behaviors and beliefs.
Listen inside for how you can best support yourself in living on purpose with impeccable self care.
Affirm and state positively your new choices and commitments. 20 times daily written and spoken.
Accept the positive changes as they come into being.
Appreciate your willingness to do what is truly best for you.
Replace the limiting habits with ones that are positive.
Be gentle and forgiving of your clearing process.
Guilt tends to cause repeating the unwanted behavior.
Ask for help and support.
Honor yourself and your life journey.
Know you are helping to heal the limiting patterns of your family of origin.
When we are healed, we are not healed alone.
No shame. No blame. No guilt.
Simply claim your Highest Good.
Forgive and Choose Again.

Loving you,
Betty Lue

Just Say “YES”

Saying No” requires so much more energy than saying “YES.
Have you ever thought that “No” comes from fear and resistance?
Many times I have said, “God is the Voice that says ‘Yes’.”

In working with parents, there are many occasions in which it is quickest and easiest just to say ”No” . However, the resultant resistance and hurt is not worth the ease. Saying ‘no” often leads to more of the same…. a temper tantrum or endless questions about “Why?” or even more requests with a variety of tactics to get their own way. Children have a persistence and resilience which leads to an unlimited repertoire.
If saying “No” is your usual response to whatever disagrees with your own choices, it may be wise to reconsider.
“No” is the voice of fear, resistance, fixed opinions, being in a hurry, too busy to listen, needing to be right, and taking control.
“My way or the Highway” may tell more truth than we realize.
Our limited viewpoint may be from our egoic fear, when we could listen to the High Truth and come from Love.

When invited to respond to another’s request, it is healing to listen for how you can say “YES”.
How can you be encouraging and supportive?
How can you find a way to join with the other?
How can you be the voice of trust and freedom, the voice of Love?
How can you see from the other’s viewpoint.
How can you forgive the past and see with new eyes.?
How can you try out a new position?
How can you give the other permission to do what they want and have the full experience?
How can you let go of your own judgment and help the other explore?

To simply say ”No” often creates a barrier, a separation, a vote of no confidence, a sign of distrust, a hierarchy of command.
The healing preference in relationships which are growing in Love is to open the door to intimacy, to drop the illusion of separation, to be confident and trusting, to see what the win/win solution might be.
Look for a way to say “Yes”.
Ask questions.
Listen for their underlying goal.
Take time to clear your own past limitations.
Seek another way.
Choose a response in which everyone wins.

Loving you,
Betty Lue

Are You Home Yet?

Where is “home” for you?
Where do you belong?
Where do you feel safe and comfortable?
Where do you feel wanted and needed?
Where are you free to fully express yourself?
Where is it easy just to “Be”?
Where can you relax and feel grateful for life?
Where are you spontaneous and creative?
Where do you fit?
Where do you feel loved and valued?
Where are you surrounded with reflections of your self?
In what environment do you feel is most pleasing for you?
With whom do you feel most invited to actualize yourself.?
With what activities do you feel most enlivened?

Everyone defines home differently. Some have never experienced that feeling. Some are waiting for heaven. Some create “home” wherever they are. Some are fully at home with one person. Some create “home “ for others. In order to give, we must first have. What you want is yours to create. What you create for yourself you can model, demonstrate and create for others.

At home with You,
Betty Lue

All Relationships are for Healing

All relationships are for the purpose of healing our perceptions.
All relationships are an opportunity to heal our minds.
Whether a relationship with a love, a guru, a teacher, a child, the weather, our government, our body, creatures of this earth or a concept like mental illness, all relationships are to heal ourselves and our opinion, beliefs and attitudes.
Wherever there is a lack of love, there is a call for love.
Wherever there is fear, there is judgment.
Wherever there is judgment, there is fear.
Wherever there is fear, there is a call for Love.
Love heals.
Love releases judgment.
Love brings peace.
Love transforms our perception, just as fear and judgment distort our perception.

To heal our relationships is to let go of the past.
To heal our relationships is to look on all things and people with the eyes of Love.
With Love, we see things differently.
With Love, we acknowledge responsibility for our perception and our experience.
With Love, we know we can be love seekers instead of fault finders.
With Love in us, we trust in right outcome ins which everyone wins.
With Love in us, we never quit on Love.
With Love in us, we let go of defensiveness.
With Love in us, we are gentle, patient and tolerant.
With Love in us, we are generous and open-minded.
With Love in us, we trust in the process of healing our attitude and our mind.
With Love in us we become aware of our unconscious patterns and forgive the past.
With Love in us, we break the habit of blame and guilt.
With Love in us, we are filled with Joy and Faith.
With Love in us, we are at Peace.

Loving You always, as I heal my perceptions and see only Love,
Betty Lue

It is All Small Stuff

Life is a relative experience and an experiment in relativity.
If all you have is small stuff, some of it may seem to be huge.
If all we have is big stuff, some of it may seem small.
“Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff and it is all small stuff” is a popular quote from Richard Carlson’s book.

My life is full of stuff- selling our home in the Valley of the Moon, my younger daughter getting married in April, buying and renewing a condo in Walnut Creek near Robert’s Mom where we will live as of Dec. 11, caring for Gia weekdays from 5AM until school time leasing my own office space, beginning a holistic partnership with a nutritionist and body worker, plus others who may join us for success mentoring , planning a full 2004 schedule of counseling, classes and travel for teaching, encouraging Robert in finding a retirement lifestyle that promotes peace of mind, physical healing and creative spirit, honoring the call of the world around me while taking impeccable care of my essential Self. There is always responding to phone calls, home visits, emails, taking and offering workshops, mentoring other health-care professionals, travelling to teach and love and serve, sending prayers of gratitude to the beauty in nature, healing my perceptions of a world in crisis and transformation, and being right here with You.

I ask for your help, your conscious joining in whatever ways you are guided.
As you extend your positive respect and affirmation to me, you receive it for yourself.
What you give to me, you will expand in your own affairs .
My constant support is that of Spirit, the voice within by which I am directed, inspired and loved without ceasing.
It is with this spiritual support that I know I am not alone.
It is with this inner support that I know it is all the same.
It is by observing, experimenting and following the course of my life that I know there is no order in miracles.
It is by your thoughts, words and deeds that I know the activity of spirit on this Earth.
You are the physical presence of God’s Love for me and for those many others you support.
Love provides. Love heals. Love shares. Love remembers. Love listens. Love gives. Love serves. Love is grateful.
Love calls me to be present, aware, trusting and responding with the Highest and Best I know.
I am . … Conscious, Responsible and Free.

We are in relationship, you and I, to support, encourage, model, demonstrate, teach, learn, heal, give, receive and be together to earn our graduation.
What you share you increase.
What you give you receive.
What you pay attention to, you grow in your consciousness and your life.
I give the best I have in each situation to everyone.
I allow my inner voice to guide me on paths I cannot know or understand.
I trust I am guided, supported and well-provided.

Letting go of trying to understand, control, or figure it all out,
Betty Lue

Lack of Peace Calls for Change

I have noticed that being upset, agitated and unpeaceful is a signal that a change is coming.

Like weather which offers storms causing fear and resistance, so emotional weather has storms which we fear, judge and resist. What if internal weather turbulence is merely a signal that change is being called forth.
When we resist the changes, the turbulence may increase.

When someone is passive and compliant, there may be a need to free oneself from the unconscious position of letting it all go.
There may be an unsettling call to set oneself free to express, to forgive, to make a new choice, to speak up or change one’s mind. What worked for years may no longer work.
What was OK may no longer be OK.
What others accept may not fit with our principles, values and beliefs.

When we are upset, it is appropriate to stop and ask ourselves what is really going on.
Where are we off purpose or compromising our beliefs or values?
Watching TV while eating dinner may be OK for a period of time until we see our family no longer communicates.
Going along with our friends choice of movies may work until we have nightmares about the last one they chose.
Driving faster than the speed limit may be fun, until we see a bad accident.
Keeping our mouth shut while observing a parent disciplining a child may be tolerable, until we see some hitting or abuse.
Eating whatever we feel like eating may be great, until we cannot fit into our new suit.

When I have an inner agitation, I know that a change is coming.
It may be a change of mind, a change of attitude, a change of schedule or lifestyle, a change of association or activities.
I look forward to the change, as I release what was, without guilt or blame.

Where is it time for change in your life?

Loving you,
Betty Lue

What do You Do With Your Stuff?

We all have 'stuff' to deal with.
Life is about learning how to deal with the stuff in life.
What you do with your stuff and how you deal with the stuff that comes up for you says a lot about how fun, safe and easy your life will be.

Some people bury their stuff.
Some people deny it.
Some people celebrate their stuff.
Others try to refine it.
Some people manifest more stuff.
Some intensify it.
Some people resist their stuff.
Some just criticize it.
Some people blame God for their stuff.
Some ask God to fix it.
Some people feel ashamed of their stuff.
Others just hide it.
What do you do with your stuff?

Do you contemplate your stuff?
Do you chew on it for a life time?
Do you try to categorize your stuff or justify it?
Do you enjoy your stuff?
Do you pray about it?
Do your treat it or affirm it?
Do you breathe through your stuff?
Do you transform it?
Do you embrace it and heal it?
Do you forgive it and a look for the gift?

If we define our identity by our stuff, why would we ever want to let it go?
Betty Lue

What Can You Do?

When someone needs help, what can you do?
Whether a physical ailment, financial distress, an emotional cry for help, relationship conflict or mental illness, we feel called to help, support, serve or fix, change and advise.
First, let your fear be forgiven and let your love, hope and faith preside.
Fear distorts, confuses, holds and affirms the problem.
Love is clear, centered, focused and affirms the solution.
Love sees and believes in the wholeness, goodness and Gift within.
What is perceived is strengthened in ourselves and the other.

What we can do is change our minds.
What we can do is offer affirmation.
What we can do is perceive Divine outcome.
What we can do is remember Love.
What we can do is trust in the solution.
What we can do is pray.
What we can do is hold the image of perfection.
What we can do is be at peace.
What we can do is be wholly present.
What we can do is know all is well.
What we can do is listen within.
What we can do is serve the other’s best interests.
What we can do is love as we would want to be loved.
What we can do is to listen to the other.
What we can do is offer our support.
What we can do is believe in the other’s right to choose.
What we can do is let go.
What we can do is know all is well.
What we can do is celebrate freedom of choice.
What we can do is Love unconditionally, serve from the heart and remember God and Good.

Loving you in doing all you can do,

Respectful Interaction

In this fast paced and often “taking for granted” world, we may lose respect for ourselves and our loved ones without even noticing. Often there are familial habits from our childhood that are unconsciously repeated in our home relationships.
Respectful communication is of value for each individual’s well being, as well as a necessity for the success of the relationship.
Helpful Reminders:
Get permission to speak before interrupting another’s activities.
Wait to be acknowledged. Knock before entering, etc.
Recognize the value of the other’s time and attention.
Don’t assume you come first.
Ask for what you want with openness to an honest response.
Recognize “No” means nothing about the degree of Love or approval.
Never go to bed without clearing the upset.
When upset, take responsibility for your own feelings.
Take time alone when needed.
Sit and ask yourself (The real reason I am upset is….. ) Let your ego vent.
Ask Spirit, “What is the real reason for my upset and how do I heal?”
Share your personal awareness with the other, when of learning value to the relationship.
Remember to consistently to say “Please” and “Thank you.”
“ I am sorry for your upset.” “I apologize for my error” is of value in healing.
Be real, open and honest in your communication.
If you have time to talk, say so. If not, say so and let the other know when might be a better time.
Make appointments for quality communication.
Plan on at least weekly conversations to take a look at the quality of the relationship and how you might improve.
Take responsibility for yourself, without trying to fix, change or argue with the other.
Arguments consume energy. No need to argue unless you enjoy it.
State you opinion or position clearly with as much emotion as you feel.
Ask the other to state their position. Let go of trying to agree.
Agree to disagree. It is natural to see and respect different points of view.
The more we respect and honor ourselves, the more we respect and honor others.
The more we respect and honor ourselves, the more others respect and honor us.
The more we respect and honor ourselves, the more others respect and honor themselves.
High self-esteem people trust sharing differing points of view without losing other’s love.
To love someone is to believe in their right to choose what is best for them.
To love someone is to earnestly encourage them to explore and discover what way is best for them.
To love someone is to trust in their choices, even though they may not be yours.
To love someone is to free the other person to live life their way without trying to control or “guilt” them into following your way.
There is much more....... (Free conscious Relating Workshop this Sunday.)
Take a look at what you can choose or change in your patterns which will have the most positive effect on the quality of your relationship with others.

Loving You,
Betty Lue

Saving OneSelf

Are you here to save the world?
Are you here to save yourself?
Are you here to serve others or to serve Your Self?

Only when you are whole and happy and free can you fully serve others?
First things first. Our gifts have the greatest impact and generate the least guilt in the receiver when we have first taken impeccable care of ourselves. We are strongest when we are neither leaning forward nor bending backwards. When we stand in integrity, without over extending nor withholding, we are more assured of a positive result for all concerned. Consider giving to yourself first. Make sure your needs are met. Make sure you are conscious and clear when you contribute to the awakening and well-being of others.

“Giving to get” yields a mixed and confusing message. Waiting for the another’s grateful response or expecting something in return creates an imbalance for giver and receiver. The message we are giving and receiving is that we are needy and denying ourselves in giving what we need. Sacrifice and martyrdom set up guilt and fear in the receiver and disappointment and covert resentment in the giver.

Consider, all that is given is received in the giving.
Consider, everything we give to another is given to ourselves.
Consider, any help given is affirming the abundance we have.
Consider, giving is merely opening the flow of what is real and abundant within.
Consider, how we perceive another is how they learn to perceive themselves.
Consider, what we give to our brother is what we want given to us.
Consider, a drowning man cannot save another drowning man.
Yes, there are times when we are called to lay down our life for another. When done with joy, it is truly an act of Love.

Give from the fullness of Love and the gift will be unconditional Love,
Betty Lue

End of Illusion (11:11 Portal)

What is the End of Time?
When we are complete within the concept of linear time and dimensional space, we will live in no time and no distance.
All will be present right now. For the usual way of thinking, this seems a fantasy, science fiction at its best.
Imagine that what we have created here is a learning laboratory in which everything is drawn out on a visual screen, so that we can over time assess our choices and where they lead.
Imagine that we are using this paradigm as an opening to the unlimited possibility of creation.
Imagine that as we grow into full responsibility for our creations, we can assert our choice for a purity of Love and Goodness so complete all darkness and Lack of Love will disappear.

Some say how boring.
Others relate that they prefer the drama and intensity of duality.
Others comment, “Why would we have a need or desire to be or do or create anything?”
Indeed, the tension of intention generates possibility and movement.
So in the absence of something we say we want, no need to move to make it happen.

The end of time will be when we have all “gotten” what we are here for...
to remember the limitless possibility of our consciousness and the unconditionality of our love.

Yes, what we seek already is.
We are exploring and remembering what will never cease to be.
Loving, listening and learning endlessly ( for the pure joy of Loving),
Betty Lue

Forgive and Move On

When you experience betrayal, attack, being offended or deceived, forgive and move on as easily and quickly as possible.
To hold judgments, resentment and fear is to hold yourself hostage to the past.
The faster and more easily one can forgive and release the past, the more free one is to fully live in the present.

Every entanglement with the past takes energy.
Every judgment of the past drains energy,
Every ghost from the past is a distraction.
Every analysis of past events holds attention away from the fulfillment of now.
Past mistakes and shortcomings keep us in the same habit of mind that caused them.
(The past may be yesterday or the last hour!)

Where there is unforgiveness, there is unconsciousness.
Where there is unforgiveness, there is dis-ease.
Where there is unforgiveness, there is grief.
Where there is unforgiveness, there is vulnerability.

To forgive is to heal oneself.
To forgive is to open the flow of energy.
To forgive is to gain a new perspective.
To forgive is to set oneself free.
To forgive is a new beginning.
To forgive is to release negative attachment.
Forgiveness is a gift to One Self.
To err is human. To forgive is Divine.

Forgive and move on,
Betty Lue

This is Your Day

How are you spending your day?
Are you following your heart and doing what you love?
Are you following your head and doing what you must?
Are you living with inspiration or living by obligation?

How you spend this day is an affirmation of who you believe you are.
The way you spend time, money and energy confirms what you value.
When you live and give from the Spirit of Joy within, your day begins and ends with freedom and gratitude.
When you live and give for the sake of getting the money, the love and attention you want, you affirm your lack and neediness.
When you give All for the sheer joy of creating Good and offering the blessing of your Love, you experience always more of the same. How we perceive our world and our relationship. as cause and creator or at effect and victim, determines our daily experiences.

Consider giving this day to God.
Consider going with the flow, doing what comes naturally and easily.
Consider being present for yourself and others.
Consider tuning in and inviting spirit, your inner inspiration to lead all the activities or inactivity of the day.
Consider affirming and confirming the miracles of conscious loving.
Consider enjoying each moment, every relationship and all your happy creations and projects.
Consider giving your day to Good, your Good and the Good of All.

Miracles happen when we give the miracle of our Love,
Betty Lue

Harmonic Concordance..

What is there to heal?
What is there to see?
What is this New World we are co-creating?
Where do you and I begin?

To bring harmony into our consciousness we must recognize and acknowledge where there is disharmony. To be in accord with our fellow beings and all life, we must confess our conflicts, hurts and resentments. To build a new way of being in relationship, we must clear the old, confusing and unhealthy ways.

Wherever there is pain is calling for healing.
Wherever there is fear, there is a call for love.
Wherever there is sorrow is a call for comfort.
Wherever there is war is a call for peace.
Wherever there is loneliness is calling for friendship.
Wherever there is hunger is a call for real nourishment.
Wherever there is hardship is a call for gentleness.
Wherever there is lack of purpose and meaning is a call for inspiration.
Wherever there is heartache is a call for forgiveness.
Wherever there is ignorance is a call for education.
Wherever there is attachment is a call for letting go.
Wherever there is sin is a call for spiritual redirection.
Wherever there is arrogance is a call for True knowledge.
Wherever there is fatigue, rest is being called.
Wherever we feel lacking is calling for living abundantly.
Wherever we feel little, we are called to recognize our magnificence.
Wherever we feel limited, is calling for us to be free.

You see, in the end, where there is a need, there is simply a call for loving intention and attention.
Listen within and you will hear how to respond to the Call.
Goodness is calling You. Listen and take responsibility.
You are free to respond, only when you are willing and able.

I am willing to be conscious.
I am willing to be responsible.
I am free to choose how to respond.

Loving you,
Betty Lue

Ready to Ascend in Consciousness?

What do you need to forgive?
What do you need to heal?
Where do you want to make amends?
Who do you need to appreciate?
Where do you need to respect yourself?
Why is it you are not wholly loving you?
How can you come to peace?

To be ready for the freedom that comes from ascension in our minds is to
find honorable closure with what has been in the past. We are each
responsible for the quality of our lives. When we are willing to take
responsibility for what we experience, we begin to ask how we can forgive
ourselves and choose again to create a better way. As we seek to let go and
love again more consciously without guilt and blame, we experience the joy
of freedom and co-creation.

I seek to be inspired.
I seek to support myself in being inspired by inspiring myself and others.
I choose a life that is filled with Spirit and remembering what is whole
and Holy.
I seek to realize and know God in You and me and All That Is.
I seek to enjoy the gifts of Spirit in each day with a gratitude and
open-mindedness.
I seek to embrace myself in more kind and gentle ways, being patient with my
process, forgiving my mistakes, healing self-made wounds and freeing my
mistaken limitations.

I am whole Now. I am happy Now. I am free Now.
Choose again and experience the freedom of choice.

Loving you,
Betty Lue

Doing Time?

Why are you here?
Are you “doing time”?
Is life a prison for you?
Are you serving a life sentence?
Is there a way you feel trapped in life?
Are you paying a debt to society?
Are you here to save or serve others?
Are you bored and seeking adventure?
Have you found meaning and purpose?
Is this a school which inspires you?
Are you creative and free?
Are you learning and growing?
Are you contributing to a Higher Purpose?
Are you observing and intrigued?
Are you playing with possibilities?
Is there honesty, fairness, and benefit for you?
Do you wish you could be somewhere else?
Are you waiting for a pardon or release?
Is there mental suffering in daily life?
Are you ignored, criticized or depended on?
Are you the jailer or the inmate with others?
Have you been judge and jury?
Who or what are you hoping to change?

What can you do right now?
How can you change the quality of your life ?
How can you think, speak and act that will awaken you?
How can you lift your consciousness to be totally willing?
Are you willing to be wholly responsible for your whole life?
Are you willing to forgive the past?
Are you willing to be conscious, responsible and free?
In your willingness is your freedom and joy.
In this lies the peace of God.

In peace,
Betty Lue

The End of Blaming the Guru

The time of setting up someone or something to save us is over.
The time of making someone better than you is done.
The time of giving credit to others for your healthy choices is finished.
You are to shine like the Sun and the Son.
Give yourself credit where credit is due. And take full responsibility when that belongs to You.

When we give someone or something responsibility for our happiness, our health, our salvation, we also can blame them and excuse ourselves when we are not receiving what we have asked for. This dual edge sword places consciousness, responsibility and authority outside our own lives and designates another to provide for what we need.
Yes, we all have pieces of the hologram. Yes, we all are teachers for one another.
Yes, we all can offer suggestions and creative solutions.
Yes, we all are walking together on the path to greater awareness of our Oneness and Love.
Yes, we are healers and supporters, cheerleaders and friends.
Yes, we can all choose to say YES or say No.
But when it comes right down to it, only You can choose what is right for You.
Only You know where you are in your life journey.
Only You are responsible for your consciousness. To be conscious is to be wholly responsible.
Only You can make the choice to love or to fear.
Only you can be cloudy or clear.
Only You can choose to give and receive Love.
Only You will give yourself the best and forget the rest.

As I have watched the myth of the guru, the worship of outside authority ( doctor, teacher, preacher, sports star, money, the rich and the famous), I have seen how we give credit and place blame. I have seen how we place on a pedestal and then pull out the rug. I have seen how easy it is to admire and then crucify. I have seen how to stay unconscious by gossiping, complaining and finding fault about the principal or director, the board, the spouse, the government, the weather, the law, the x-ray or test rather than take responsibility for our choices. Rather than give authority to another person or thing, take full responsibility for your choices. No one and nothing can choose your state of mind, your state of consciousness, or your state of Love.

Now is the time to be conscious and responsible. Now is the time to give full credit to yourself for choosing who and how your trust, who you let make decisions for you and how you choose to live. Taking responsibility can be frightening to our ego when we are unhappy with the life we have. Taking responsibility for our lives can be exhilarating with freedom as we forgive our past unconsciousness.

Loving you mightily,
Betty Lue

Shift is Happening

Are you noticing changes within?
Are you seeing the unexpected in others?
Are you feeling the pull to express or heal ?
Are you being urged to create your life anew?
Are you being called to make amends?
Are you feeling feisty and assertive?
Are you needing to rest and renew?
Are you noticing the intensity in others?
Are you seeking the High Truth in All?
Are you aware of some inner shifts?


Some say, the veils are thinning between the illusion of duality and the
reality of unity.
Some say, these are the “end times” and some will ascend while others will
hold their course.
Some say, we are in a very dark period and need to remember the Light and
Love of God and Goodness within.
Some say, we can use this and all time as an opportunity to heal the past
and awaken to perfect Love in the present.
Some say, this is the time to wake up and take responsibility for all we are
and have and do by being fully conscious and at choice.


The possibility now, as in all time, is for us to awaken, to be open and
willing, to stay true to our Higher Calling, to live in Love and give with
Joy, that All might see and seek the Love of God within.

We are here now.
We are free now.
We have chosen now and can choose again.
Forgive what was and choose for what will be.

NOW!

Bless you and your willingness to be free.
Betty Lue

This month of November is being designated as a significant time in human
consciousness. November 8th full moon eclipse and Nov. 23 Solar eclipse and
other dates as well. All is an excuse to show up, pay attention, tell the
High Truth and detach from the outcome.
Let Go with forgiveness, gratitude and blessing.
Let God and the intrinsic Goodness within All be the guide for our lives.
Blessed be all.

Time to Let Go and Flow!

Changes are here.
Life is to clear what is inter-fearing with our full self realization and inner peace.
Wherever you have attachment, let go.
Whatever is distracting, detouring and delaying let go.
Wherever you are confused and disillusioned, let go.
When you are hurt or in grief, let go.
When you have counted on an outcome, let go.
When you are angered or impatient let, go.
When you have judged or criticized, let go.

To be in the flow is to wholly let go.
Letting go asks of us our Trust in the Highest Good.
Letting go seeks to be free of what does not serve.
Letting go is a choice to be in love right now.
Letting go is a gift of mind to relinquish control.
Letting go really asks nothing and gives us everything.
However, the illusion is that in letting go we will lose everything.
Remember, what is meant to be yours always returns.
What is real cannot be lost.
What is a gift and a blessing can never leave. I
t is always with us as a gentle loving reminder of the Goodness and Love we are.
Letting go is fun, safe and easy So let go.

Letting go daily,
Betty Lue

PS This past week has been a time of trying on 3 new email systems and two new servers. Email lists hopefully will be in tact and full working order in another few days. Apologies for double mailings or none at all. Let me know if there is an error in your mailings and I will attempt to correct. Letting go and going with the flow. Always loving you.
