You are never stuck, no matter what you might have been taught.

Once you learn that you can be whatever you want to be everyday.

Explore, experiment and try out what feels right and good for you.

In each circumstance, you may adapt to what fits in or what stands out.

In every relationship, you can play the part that they want or what you want to be.

In every stage of life, you can be think and talk and behave in the way that works for you.

Choose what you want to think and say and do.

Choose how you want to impress or express or depress

Life is a grand dress-up party where people make up who you are.

Life is a costume parade of ways individually want to play to belong and fit in or stand out and be noticed.

Life is a joining of folks who are remembering they are unlimited in how they want to play.

Be awake and aware of what is just right for you and watch how it works.

Trick or treat everyday.

Show up. Pay attention. And Live Your Truth.

Whatever costume you wear, I see You, I know You and  I Love You!

Be appreciative of the life you have and your will live life abundantly.

This is your time to choose always and only creative solutions with joy.

Loving you, 

Betty Lue

“In optimism there is magic. In pessimism there is nothing. In positive expectation there is thrill and success. In pessimism or awareness of what is not wanted, there is nothing. What you're wanting to do is redefine your relationship with the Stream. We do not ask you to look at something that is black and call it white. We do not ask you to see something that is not as you want it to be and pretend that it is. What we ask you to do is practice moving your gaze. Practice changing your perspective. Practice talking to different people. Practice going to new places. Practice sifting through the data for the things that feel like you want to feel and using those things to cause you to feel a familiar place. In other words, we want you to feel familiar in your joy. Familiar in your positive expectation, familiar in your knowing that all is well, because this Universe will knock itself out giving you evidence of that Well-being once you find that place."   Abraham

When we block or stop or withhold love, we feel unhappy and sick.

Getting Free

(By Setting Others Free)

It is not unusual for us human beings to secretly wish and hope that the people we’re close to don’t become too magnificent. We don’t really want these significant others to be too free or too powerful or too creative or too successful or to dream too wild a dream. We actually prefer that they stay small, “manageable”, non-threatening, tame. After all, we don’t want to be made to feel uncomfortable or inadequate or diminished or challenged by the boldness and joyfulness with which someone else lives his or her life.

But, until we are willing and actively desire that the key people in our lives be totally free and powerful, we cannot be free and powerful ourselves. So, here is an affirmation-prayer that may help us begin freeing others, so that we can begin to free ourselves.

I, _____(your name)_____ want you, _____(his or her name)_____, to be the highest, clearest, most powerful expression of God that you can be. I would not limit you in any way, knowing that only as I encourage you to expand, explore and grow, can I myself be free. So I fully support you in being and expressing all that you are.

I want you to go where you feel called to go, to speak and act as you feel guided, and to express yourself in whatever ways seem right. There is nothing I do not want you to do, for I know that all movement is contained within God and always leads us to Him.

I am at peace with whatever decisions and choices you make, no matter how they may seem to affect me. Since I know that God loves and supports me perfectly, I know that however you choose to be with me must be a manifestation of that divine love and support. Because I trust God, I trust you. And because I trust you, I trust myself.

So, be free, be powerful, be unlimited. And know that I, _________, want you, _________, to be the highest, clearest, most powerful expression of God that you can be. I fully support you in being all that you are.
