More Light, More DeLight!

How do you increase the light in your life?
Open the curtains.
Wash your windows.
Look away from darkness.
Seek happy experiences
.

My Mom wondered why my paternal grandmother would sit in the dark all day with draped windows.
As a therapist I have wondered why people stay in abusive, demeaning relationships and jobs.
As a grandmother, I have watched children play the drama of suffering until they get attention.
As a woman, I have taught people to stop complaining and start appreciating.

Humanity appears to have found a comfort zone in darkness, depression and quitting on life.
People seem to find solace in excess.  Excessive highs and lows, successes and failures, etc.
Socializing and gatherings often focus on stories of problems, illness, tragedy and sorrow.
We appear as a species to be attracted by darkness, danger and drama.

Forgive all this.
Erase it with love.
Remove yourself from negativity.
Step away from what does not inspire you.
Even in the most difficult times, there are miracles of love.
Even when in danger, there are moments of extraordinary courage.
Even in economic downfall, there is food and water, shelter and friendship.
Even when our bodies are not functioning, we can find peace in faith.

Clues to changing your outlook from darkness and despair to lightness and illumination.

·     Forgive yourself for limiting beliefs, for mistakes made, for hurting yourself.
·     Choose to love yourself now, just as you are and commit to take impeccable care of YOU!
·     Follow the path and people who are most filled with light, love, peace and joy.
·     Appreciate where you are, what you have and the good you do.
·     Seek the gifts, blessings and learning value in everything that you have experienced.
·     Trust that there is a universal Good working in your life to wake you up and enlighten you.
·     Open your eyes to see all the blessings you have right now and be openly grateful.
·     Clear your vision and look at what you love, who you appreciate and how good life is.


Yes, there is poop in the world, but you don’t have to look at it, worry about it or try to analyze “Why?”
Yes, there may be pain and problems, but you can choose to be flexible and resilient enough to benefit.
Yes, there may be a negative past that you can forgive and create a positive future.
Yes, you can choose to move forward with your mind focused on where you are going.

Today is a gift.  Be present today with unlimited possibility and seek only the light and delight.
This is your day.  This is your life.  Use all the resources you have and choose again.
The measure is in your inner joy and peace, not in what you have.
Give yourself happiness, appreciation and freedom today!

Loving you with Light in my mind and Love in my heart!
