Are we “yeah sayers” or “nay-sayers”?
Are we looking forward or looking back?
Do we seek to bless or to damn?
Let us remember: ‘What we sow, we reap.’
We are creating the change with our thoughts and our words.
We are creating the future with our gratitude and our blessings.
We are begetting the Goodness that we want for All.
No matter what you judge or fear or criticize, you are responsible for your negativity.
No matter what you forgive or love or bless, you are responsible for your positivity.
No matter how you hold illness, disaster, pain, you are responsible for your energy.
No matter how you perceive your world, you are responsible for seeing holiness or damnation.
Often humanity uses thoughts, words and deeds without considering the consequences.
People think freedom of speech means we can say whatever we want without results.
People feel expressing toxic material will not poison the well. (and their wellness)
People misunderstand the creative process and how their energy impacts everyone.
Today we can make our own health care reform in our own consciousness.
We each individually and collectively can reclaim our own responsibility.
We can think, speak and act in ways that forgive, love and bless comprehensive wellness.
We can now reclaim the right of everyone to be healthy and whole….mind and body.
In our system of government, education and family systems, we have demonstrated that belittling, name-calling, threatening, demanding, judging, lying, sabotaging and subverting is acceptable.
In our righteousness, we often get consumed in seeing only our own viewpoint.
In our desire to be powerful and in control, we may impose our will and our way on others.
Fair debate and discussion, willingness to open to all sides and negotiating a reasonable path for all to benefit is always preferred.
Now it the time in our own relationships, partnerships, businesses, institutions and organizations to act in responsible and respectful ways when there are differences.
Now is the time to eliminate injustice, inequality and prejudice.
Now it the time to give everyone what we all want and deserve…… a place, time and voice to speak for ourselves and live our truth.
I am celebrating our willingness to keep on remembering to love one another in the most respectful and responsible and cooperative ways.
Life is Good and getting better.

How To Love Yourself
By Louise Hay
1. STOP ALL CRITICISMBy Louise Hay
Criticism never changes a thing. Refuse to criticize yourself. Accept yourself exactly as you are. Everybody changes. When you criticize yourself, your changes are negative. When you approve of yourself, your changes are positive.
2. DON’T SCARE YOURSELF
Stop terrorizing yourself with your thoughts. It’s a dreadful way to live. Find a mental image that gives you pleasure (mine is yellow roses), and immediately switch your scary thought to a pleasure thought.
3. BE GENTLE AND KIND AND PATIENT
Be gentle with yourself. Be kind to yourself. Be patient with yourself as you learn the new ways of thinking. Treat yourself as you would someone you really loved.
4. PRAISE YOURSELF
Criticism breaks down the inner spirit. Praise builds it up. Praise yourself as much as you can. Tell yourself how well you are doing with every little thing.
5. BE KIND TO YOUR MIND
Self hatred is only hating your own thoughts. Don’t hate yourself for having the thoughts. Gently change your thoughts.
6. SUPPORT YOURSELF
Find ways to support yourself. Reach out to friends and allow them to help you. It is being strong to ask for help when you need it.
7. BE LOVING TO YOUR NEGATIVES
Acknowledge that you created them to fulfill a need. Now you are finding new, positive ways to fulfill those needs. So, lovingly release the old negative patterns.
8. TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY
Learn about nutrition. What kind of fuel does your body need to have optimum energy and vitality? Learn about exercise. What kind of exercise can you enjoy? Cherish and revere the temple you live in.
9. MIRROR WORK
Look into your eyes often. Express this growing sense of love you have for yourself. Forgive yourself looking into the mirror. Talk to your parents looking into the mirror. Forgive them too. At least once a day say: “I love you, I really love you!”
10. LOVE YOURSELF...DO IT NOW
Don’t wait until you get well, or lose the weight, or get the new job, or the new relationship. Begin now, and do the best you can.
