How do you know what is given until you unwrap the package?
How can you receive the Real gift until it is given?
How do you value what is kept in hiding?
How do you experience the gift that remains unopened?
Is it possible that you have failed to give the gift of yourself?
Are you giving to those who are unable or unwilling to receive what you give?
Have you so covered yourself in layers of camouflage that no one sees what is given?
Can you experience the joy of giving when you withhold the real thing?
Your love can only be shared by loving.
Love may not be received by those who fear Love.
Loving with conditions is not fully loving.
Love freely given will be received according to the willingness of the receiver.
Light that shines into the darkness may be feared.
Light that is shared with a need to be noticed may not be trusted.
Gifts given with the need to be appreciated or approved feels conditional.
Gift of great joy will be welcomed by the heart, if not the mind.
Yes, Life is for giving.
And you are the gift.
It is only through giving the gift of yourself that you realize the gift you are.
When you are empty, fill someone else and receive what you share.
When you are full, share from the overflow and enjoy the recycling.
When you are needy, open the flow to receive more by giving.
To have All, give All to All.
Your gift is hidden within you.
Give your whole and holy self to those who can and will receive and value You.
It is in giving that you receive.
Nothing is so valuable as giving to those who are willing to receive.
Receiving your gifts of Love,
Betty Lue

Freedom Day
Are you free?
Are you free to be who you are?
Are you free to express your most loving feelings?
Are you free to create your fabulous creative ideas?
Are you free to go where spirit calls you?
Are you free to live as inspires and enlivens you?
The answer is YES!
No matter what your fearful ego may say,
No matter what society or your parents taught you,
You are free.
If your answer is "NO", you are being controlled by FEAR.
FEAR is "anti-life" and some would say, "Anti Christ or the Evil in the world.
EVIL is "Live" spelled backwards.
Evil is believing there is something outside you, that can limit your Love, your Joy and your Freedom.
You are free to think, say and do anything that calls to you.
Whenever you let your personality and self-made belief be in charge,
you may believe you are limited, lacking and little.
We tell ourselves a lie when we buy into the mass consciousness beliefs.
We deny ourselves our joy when we let others judgments ruin our choices.
We forget we are created by an Unlimited Creator, when we allow human thought to shut down our Love.
We make ourselves sick and sad when we let the past run our future.
What do you do when you feel you are constricted by fear?
What are your freeing agents?
When you are stuck, limited, judging and fearful, what do you use?
Denial: Nothing and no one can limit or harm me. I am free.
Forgiveness: I forgive, erase, undo and relinquish all limitation, lack and littleness. I am free.
Declaration: I declare I am unlimited and free, as God created me. And this is all my mind obeys.
Affirmation: My mind automatically erases everything that is not wholly loving, unlimited and true.
Inspired choice: I listen within and choose for the Highest good.
Gratitude: Everything I appreciate increases the Good in my life.
Trust: I trust all is well and so it is.
Pick one and work with it for 30 days. Experience the change.
You are free!!! Freedom is a choice!
Loving you,
Betty Lue

Is It Fun?
Is it fun to forgive? Is it fun to clean house?
Is it fun to work? Is it fun to play at life?
Is it fun to heal? Is it fun to feel your True Love?
Life is fun, safe and easy for me.
To resist causes pain and displeasure.
To fear causes avoidance and anxiety.
To hate causes darkness and contraction.
To judge causes withhold and fear of attack.
Life can be fun, safe and easy for you.
If you are resisting, let go and allow.
If you are fearing, bless and love.
If you are hating, forgive and show kindness.
If you are judging, look beneath the personality and behavior.
Life can be fun, safe and easy.
Look for the light in the darkness.
Find some humor in the seriousness.
Sing to the sun on cloudy days.
Appreciate simple pleasures when in pain.
Life can be fun, safe and easy.
When you clean house, make it a blessing.
When you work, make it play.
When you heal, make it freeing.
When you forgive, make it your gift of love.
Life can be fun, safe and easy.
Give up your myths of struggle and sacrifice.
Let go of learned judgments of shopping or moving.
Release pictures of lifetime resentments and separation.
Undo all thoughts of fear, suffering and pain.
Life can be fun, safe and easy.
After all, life is really your game.
Life as you play it is yours to name the rules and the outcome.
So play it all, as you would have it be.
And you will agree, life can be fun, safe and easy.
Loving you,
Betty Lue

Love is Freedom—Freedom is Love
Today is another auspicious day in my inspired life.
Today is the 85th birthday of Marian A. Fisher, my mother.
Today is our relationship birthday, the midpoint between our birthdays.
Today I am speaking on the principle of freedom at the home of Truth in nearby Alameda.
Today I am inaugurating a new place for others to join in, in collaboration with Kathleen Sims and others.
Today we are beginning to move from Creative Solutions offices into a larger suite of offices, Suite #200.
Today is the day which God has made.
I am here only to serve the highest Good with everything I think and say and do.
In my freedom and defenselessness, my safety lies.
When I think I know what is really going on I get attached and stuck.
When I try to make something happen, I can feel the resistance and contraction in my mind and body.
When I am afraid that I will do or say something wrong, I am not free to speak Divine Will.
My life is only about undoing what is not Love.
It is fear that binds me and Love that sets me free.
It is Love that frees me and brings my heart great Joy.
The root meaning of "to Love" is "to free".
When we say "I love you.", we are really saying "I free you."
Are you freeing those you Love?
Are you trusting them with your Love?
Yes, my mother and father nurtured me with freedom.
My Parents taught me with freedom and responsibility.
My mother reminded me often that I am a gift of God's Love.
She told me I am God's child on loan to them as parents, for a brief time of guidance, only when needed.
And I thank her for giving me the gift of conscious loving, the gift of trust and freedom.
And yes, God sent my partner Robert to join me over 21 years ago.
Robert also is the Gift of God's Love.
Robert trusts and frees me with his Love.
Robert honors my inner guidance with his whole being.
And I thank him for giving me such profound respectful and True Love.
How are we each to receive the gift of God's Love with all others?
It is through giving that we receive.
It is through loving others with perfect trust and freedom that we fully Love ourselves.
It is through freeing others and trusting in their learning process that they begin to trust themselves.
It is through trust and freedom that we all come to remember to Love one another as God loves us.
Trusting You, Freeing You , just as I am Loving You,
Betty Lue
This 14 month old, Harper, is just beginning to walk, but is always ready to climb.
Life is like this.
Let’s explore and see how high we can climb and how far we can go.
Love trusts the exploration process, with a little help, support and encouragement.
Fear sets limits, scares us with pain, and discourages adventure.
Look to see where you encourage your own adventure, inner guidance and joyous exploration.
Thank you for joining me on this spiritual journey.
Thank you for receiving my gifts with respect and gratitude.
Thank You for supporting us all with your prayers and your contribution.
Thank you for your love and for giving your positive energy to what you value.
Thank you for knowing that we are all in this together.
Thank you for healing, transforming and co-creating our experience of this world.
Thank you for enjoying what is given with joyful appreciation for the Good of all.

Grateful Completion and Happy Beginnings
The first half of 2006 is complete.
The second half is just beginning.
Everyday and every moment is fully of endings and beginning.
Good-bye and hello. Aloha and Namaste.
Opportunities for us to honor and celebrate.
When we are meticulous in our completion, we can begin on new wholesome ground.
When we are grateful for what has been, we will be hopeful about what can be.
Life is the school in which we learn that every action effects every other action.
Every word creates results with reverberate to everyone everywhere.
Nothing we think or say or do is done in a vacuum.
We are all an integral part of everyone everywhere.
“Happiness runs in a circular motion.
Love is like a little boat upon the sea.
Everyone is a part of everything anyway.
You can have it All if you let yourself be.”
Suggestions:
Finish what you start.
Or…give it away to someone who will finish it with joy.
End everything with gratitude and blessing.
Value all experiences and they will expand and enrich your life.
Leave everything a little better.
We all can clean up our language, our thoughts, our activities and our environment.
Appreciate your whole life cycle…beginning, middle and end.
Every part of your life adds value to your whole life learning.
Be happy with who you are and what you do.
Prosperity is found in realizing and appreciating your true worth.
Life is for giving and you are the gift.
It is in freely giving the gift of yourself that you remember the Gift you are.
Loving you faithfully,
Betty Lue

Letting Go
Letting go of a loved one who made their transition or died physically?
Letting go of a job or a marriage?
Letting go of a dream or belief in some ideal?
Letting go of a home or place of business?
Letting go of an old image with hair or weight loss or gain?
Letting go of addiction or bad habits?
Letting go can be intense, difficult and painful.
When we try to let go of something we want to stay the same, it is hard.
When we try to hang on to what is comfortable, familiar and fills a void, the loss causes pain.
When we struggle with questioning why and how and doubting the value of the loss, we resist.
Resistance produces pain.
Gratitude produces blessing.
When we resist what is, we judge and suffer.
When we bless what is, we feel hope and new possibilities.
Helpful hints:
Affirm: ( Write and say 20 times daily.)
Letting go is fun, safe and easy.
I no longer need to fear change.
I now am wiling to trust everything works together for good.
Write down pages of all your feelings in the letting go process.
(Or tell everything to a neutral party who is willing to listen and let go without judging or fearing for you.)
Write everything that upsets you. Your fears, anger, hurt, resentment, confusion, and more.
Talk to the person, place or circumstance ( being let go) in your mind or aloud.
Then listen to the response as though they were present to respond to you.
Forgive yourself for all your judgment, doubt and distrust in what is.
Forgive yourself and others for what you see as not loving.
Forgive everyone and everything.
Make lists of every forgiveness that comes to mind, everyday until there is no more to forgive.
Choose how you want to feel, respond and experience what is happening.
Make a list of choices. I choose….I am…..I have…….
Bless it all.
Be grateful for everything you are learning and experiencing.
Letting go can be fun, safe and easy when you allow it all to work together for your Good.
Loving You,
Betty Lue

Are You Free?
Our Preamble to the our Constitution declares:
"We are all endowed with certain inalienable rights-the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
That is so and so it Is and We Are.
We are all endowed with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
So are you free? Are you living? Are you pursuing happiness?
Do you support, encourage and facilitate life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for your loved ones?
Are you a believer in the rights of others?
More importantly, do you give yourself permission to be free in your thoughts, your behavior, your life?
What keeps us from freedom and discovering our happiness seems to be the jailer in our minds.
What limits our freedoms appears to be loyalty to others fear and judgments.
What hinders our pursuing a path of perfect happiness may be economics, need to fit or belong and fear.
Whatever binds, limits and restricts you belongs to your learned limiting mind.
Duty and obligation limits us.
Threats and demands limit us.
Trust sets us free.
We are free to choose which voice we listen to.
Do you follow the external voices of others?
Do you listen to the inner voice of forgiveness and gratitude?
Do you find comfort in the safety of conforming?
Do you find true joy in the freedom of individuality?
Exercise: (For your consideration)
If you gave yourself total freedom to be, do and have what your heart desires, what would you be, do and have with your life?
If you gave yourself total permission to pursue happiness, where would you go, what would you do and with whom?
If you allowed yourself your ideal life with no fear or worry, how would you live?
If you imagine living this life, what changes would occur in how you relate to others?
Loving you and celebrating our freedom to be,
Betty Lue

Changes Anyone?
In shifting times, let it flow and stay grounded.
Don't push the river and don't try to hold it back.
Life provides the opportunities, challenges and choices we need to clarify our intention.
Support yourself with clarity of purpose.
Love yourself with right nourishment of mind, body and soul.
Give yourself affirmation and gratitude.
Be prepared to forgive and release what seems to stand in your way.
Know all is well, for so it will be as you have decreed.
Trusting in the Love we Are,

All is Well
What we believe, we perceive.
What we perceive, we strengthen in ourselves.
What we strengthen, we encourage in others.
What we encourage in others, we build in our world.
All is well.
When I trust all is well, I free my judging mind.
When I release my judgments, I see what is.
When I see what is, I see only love and the call for Love.
All is well.
When I release my need to fix, I free myself to be.
When I know I am here to live in the Allness of Love.
I know that in me, all is well.
All is well.
No matter what my perception, all is well.
When I remember all is well, I listen within for where to begin.
When I remember Love is Real, I simply live in the Love that Is.
All is well.
Nothing to do,
Love really Love.
No where to be… here right here.
All is well brings peace to my soul.
When I am at peace, understanding comes to me.
When I am at peace, I am whole and I am free.
When I am at peace, life is fun, safe and easy.
Loving you with no agenda,

Trust, Commitment, Honesty, Respect
This was written for those who are having difficulty remembering trust, commitment, honesty and respect.
See if you can apply it to any of your relationships including those with friends, children, parents and work associates.
Remember that your love and respect for another is a reflection of your love and respect for yourself.
How you love others speaks volumes about how you love yourself.
How you speak to others demonstrates how you speak to yourself.
How you treat others belies the ways you treat yourself within.
Know that healing our relationship with ourselves heals our relationships with others.
Healing Affirmation:
I deeply and profoundly love, accept and respect myself.
********************************************
All upset, fear, anger, hurt, judgment is lack of peace of mind or mental and emotional disturbances (hurt, guilt, anger, fear, confusion, distortion, etc.)
Each person must be responsible for his own feelings and thoughts and projecting blame onto another. Each of you must accept total responsibility for your part in this melodrama.
It only takes one to bring peace.
The power of Love, real Love, Unconditional Love is healing.
You must seek to understand one another.
You know you understand, when the other person feels heard, known, respected and valued.
You must clarify your own values and share with one another.
When you find mutual values, you commit to support one another in living true to the highest values you mutually hold.
You must remove yourself from others’ influence...no gossiping or complaining to friends, family or even trusted advisors who take sides.
Every time you complain to someone about your relationship, you are breaking their trust and confidence. It creates feelings of infidelity and separation (even if not confirmed.)
Continued loyalty to one’s family feels like lack of commitment to the partnership and will undermine the quality of honesty and trust between you.
And yes, you see in another what is in you, past or present.
Both people participate with similar mistakes or activities which separate rather than bond their union.
Both of you must take this time to become aware of how you created this “mess” and this “stress.”
Then both of you must confess what you are willing to do to heal and create on a new canvas a new creation of union with fidelity, honesty, commitment, responsibility and trust without all this emotional dumping. Dumping your garbage and pain onto a loved one makes everyone sick and serves no value.
I applaud your willingness to continue to love and repair the wounds.
It is time to trust your own choices, to learn to support one another no matter what and to believe in the sacredness of your marriage.
I know forgiveness erases the past.
Love heals and creates hope, faith and new possibilities.
I believe in your commitment to heal the past and create a life of Love."
Loving and blessing our healing relationships,

Healing is Forgiving the Past
Let go and let God.
With letting go of the past, only the Presence of God is left.
With the release of judgment, comparison, attack and fear, only Goodness is left.
With the relinquishment of all mis-creations, only the gifts of Love exist.
May we each forgive everyone and everything every day
Loving you in our universal request for healing.

Back to Basics
When life gets full, takes a detour or becomes an obstacle course, go back to basics.
Slow down.
See where you are.
Give your body rest and nourishment.
Quiet your mental agitation.
Give your emotions a love break.
Feed your Spirit with uplifting stuff.
Forgive your errors.
Listen to affirming and positive messages.
Be grateful for who you are.
Appreciate those who are truly helpful.
Help someone in need in simple ways.
Have fun with a little laughter and play.
Be good to yourself in all ways.
You know when you are off path.
The more evolved spiritually, the more sensitive you become.
You have your own barometer (pain, getting sick, off balance, anxiety, money concerns, etc.) that tells you when you have forgotten your purpose and lost your way.
The more you know your spiritual path, the more easily you can tell when you step off course.
When lost, the work is not to find people to console, comfort and commiserate.
When lost, the work is to find guidance and a clear direction back where you belong.
When you miss the turn in the road, you know you erred by the bumpy terrain.
The work is to turn around and get your self on course.
During these light-filled days, we can see (feel) better what is right and true and loving.
When there is more awareness, there is more to do to clear the weeds, and tend our crop.
If we cannot see where we are going or what it is we are growing, stop, look and listen within.
Before we get up and go again, we need to clarify our direction, our function and our goal.
During these busy times with much to do, I am taking my time to stop, look and listen within.
All is well and on course and I am grateful.
Loving you and me faithfully,
Betty Lue
P.S.
Current Changes:
Just returned from 5 days in NC with my Mom and dear friends (spiritual family).
My blessed Mother-in-law made her transition (birthed into her new life) last Friday.
Celebration of Life in Rossmoor on July 1 at 2PM. She planned it herself.
Supporting Robert in preparing her home for sale within the next month.
Joining a dear friend in business partnership of expanded office space, (same address, bigger suite) July 3.
Beginning again my favorite, our Living Ministry Training Program, here in Walnut Creek, this weekend.
Offering the Sunday Service at Home of Truth in Alameda July 1, as part of my application process.
“Inventory of our diapers is not easy (17, 18, 19......)
But we sure have fun!
Grandma can even make it a game to put it all back sometimes!”

Life Expanded or Ended?
Blessings or Condolences?
Where there is no sorrow or grief, there are no condolences needed.
Life is a journey both here and beyond.
When we graduate, we do simply move on to our next adventure, school or place of service.
Everyone believes, sees and treats "death" differently.
Because "death" is a sensitive and often feared experience, it is rarely discussed openly.
For Robert and me, Jackie's journey is her next adventure, her spiritual quest answered.
Jackie and her family discussed her passing openly. There were no secrets, no unfinished business.
Jackie spent the last several months clearing out her things, setting aside what needed to go and where.
Her home was filled with 80+ years of family memorabilia, which will be totally cleared this week by her family all working together. They are honoring her love, her generosity, her sentimentality with consideration handling every piece with respect, gratitude and humor.
We took her to see movie An Inconvenient Truth (an awesome and beautiful film) on Saturday afternoon. She went to bed, skipped church on Sunday, and hospice was formally called in on Tuesday. I said my good-byes with gratitude and gentle touch on Tuesday afternoon, since I traveled Wed.AM to visit my Mom in Asheville, NC. Jackie and I loved, admired and enjoyed one another and our mutual bond, our ministry of service. We are complete with no regret and no sorrow. Jackie looked forward to her journey, and with many on the other side to greet her. She is more even present to me now, as the veil is very thin, and I feel her Christ Spirit radiating Love to us.
Her family also gathered for hugs, healing touch and respect her last four days. All her needs were and are being met. Her specific requests are all being honored. Her love is still being given and received by all of us. Jackie is happy and we are too. We know she is in good hands, at peace and in Love.
Many miracles….the stamps used on her celebration of life invitations (which Jackie wrote and made sure everyone was on the mailing list) are wedding stamps, symbolizing for us her wedding again with Marsh as they come together again. I am making note of just a little of the beautiful healing, much the same as at a birth, for this is her time, after many years of tireless service to others and total faith in God.
"I love you and bless your journey. Until we meet again, know I am honored to have know and loved you for the last 21 years. Until we meet again, Sister in Spirit, Peace of God abounds for us all."
For those who mourn, give comfort.
For those who celebrate, give enthusiasm.
For those who respect, offer honor.
For those who regret, offer forgiveness.
For those who are silent, offer prayer.
To each their own.
Jackie was moved by the few lines, "Do not stand at my grave and weep, for I have promises to keep."
And so she does. Bless her journey and let your own view of "death" consider the release from our temporary physical assignment a natural and welcomed process. Truly there is no death.
Love never ends, it merely changes form. And so energy can be neither created nor destroyed.
Loving you always,
Betty Lue

Graduation
My wise and compassionate mother-in-law Jackie has graduated.
She completed her earthly physical life and has moved on.
Her celebration of life, almost entirely planned and prepared by Jackie,
Will be Saturday, July 1, 2PM In the Diablo Room of Hillside Clubhouse in Rossmoor,
Walnut Creek, CA. Everyone is invited to the celebration and reception.
Robert, my husband and Jackie's oldest son, wrote to family:
"Mom did an excellent job of both living and dying. We (all of you receiving this and many, many more) did an excellent job of both loving her and receiving her love. Our job now is to remember that, while she is no longer physically present, she is always with us. She would not have us grieve, but celebrate."
How can it be that someone we love can leave us?
What is there to grieve if we have both given and received their love fully?
What is there to fear when we know they are always near and dear?
Where is there regret when we see they have completed their mission here?
There are many ways to view death and life.
Each one of us has our beliefs, our faith or doubt, our worries and our joys.
It is in every one of us to find our inner wisdom, the peace that is beyond understanding.
It is in every one of us to listen to the still small voice within, to receive the answers we seek.
It is in every one of us to be willing to set aside our opinions and judgments, to quiet the mind.
It is in every one of us to freely explore the vast fields of the unknown and mysterious.
How can we know what seems unknowable?
Listen closely to the wind.
Watch the stars and moon and sun move in the sky.
Be with the animals in their life cycle.
See the bird, butterfly or bee come at your calling.
Love everything with the love of its Creator.
And you will know.
God and Good is all there is.
Our interpretation that there is not seems meaningless.
Our inner sight that God is in everything, beneath the apparency, gives certainty, purpose and faith.
There are Holy (healed and awakened) ones, those who remember what is forever true, who complete this world with dignity and grace.
As they release their body, they bid us a loving "good-bye for now", for they know there is more.
As we complete our Holy work here:
there is forgiveness and peace,
there is understanding and quiet,
there is joy in the journey,
there is love for everyone and everything.
To graduate from this university, we have the opportunity in the final moment or over our lifetime to awaken our remembering.
This is our life in which to create our experience as it is.
This is our world to heal and transform with our Divine Mind.
This is our opportunity to bless what it with our Holy sight.
Loving All,
Betty Lue

My five days in Asheville North Carolina with my Mom and many friends was a great joy and peace.
All is well with us all.

What is Your Job?
Gone to my Mother's in North Carolina June 14-18.
Happy Father's Day on Sunday! Back on Monday!
Don’t hesitate to call me if you want some time.
Loving you, Betty Lue
What is your job here?
What have you committed to do in this lifetime?
What is your holy work?
What is your life purpose?
Where you are unsure or complacent, you are at the effect of life circumstances.
Where you sit and wait for external signs, you are like a man adrift in the sea.
Where you have lost your compass or forsaken your path, you have left your True Identity.
Where you exist and survive in this time of uncertain changes, you have lost meaning and value.
Life is a complexity of possibilities, so keep it simple.
Life is a maze of unknown twists and turns, so set your goal.
Life is a kaleidoscope of colors so marvel at the patterns.
Life is a roller coaster ride through peaks and valleys, so celebrate the journey.
Find a simple mission, a north star for your compass, a passion, a purpose or goal.
Set your course and support yourself in living each day with an inspirational direction.
Whatever lifts your spirit and keeps you happy will drive your ship to its rightful destination.
Where you are joyful and living with purpose, you will inspire, motivate and better your world.
I am here to be a loving reminder.
What I do and say,
What I write and share,
How I live and give demonstrate my Real Job, my holy work.
While I may have said it differently, or described my life in other ways, it always comes back to Love.
Teaching Love to those who are love is really reminding those who forgot.
Living Love is really remembering the Love that already is.
Giving Love is simply Being the Love I Am.
I trust you are living your Purpose as well.
If you need help in remembering, listen within.
Search for what has meaning and value to you.
Ask yourself what would make your heart sing and your mind create.
I am loving you,
Betty Lue

Is It Time?
Is there time to waste?
Is there time to spend?
Is there time to play?
Is there time to mend?
Have we learned enough?
Have we given our all?
Have we gotten stuff?
Have we had a ball?
It is time to go?
Is it time to stay?
Is it time to wait?
Is it time to play?
Have we earned our wings?
Have we tried to fly?
Have we asked to be free?
Are we ready to die?
Death is the dropping of our body.
Death is the freedom from form.
Death is a spiritual choice, not yours or mine.
Death is the freedom to be, the end of time.
My dear mother-in-law is in her transition process,
Birthing into a new and old familiar way of Being.
She is relaxed and at peace.
She has faithfully served all.
She has completed her work and cleared her space.
She has planned her celebration of life, including invitations, music and place.
Jackie Waldon is a gift of dignity and grace.
She has given the world her kindness and generous heart.
She has reminded us all there is nothing to fear.
She has given her life teaching God is always near.
I am honored and privileged to know her, love her and share this time with her.
All is well with her now, then and in eternity where there is no time and all time.
Are we conscious of our choice?
Have we chosen our contributions?
Do we listen to our inner voice?
Have we given our all?
Are we satisfied everyday with a life well done?
When we know we are whole, the life game is won.
Remembering Love,
Betty Lue

Inconvenient Truth
An Inconvenient Truth (A new well done documentary, at our local theater)
Yes, you probably already know and have your own beliefs about the environment and global warming.
Yes, you probably care about our planet and what we leave for our grandchildren and their future.
Yes, you probably have heard doomsday theories and have become complacent in your comfort.
But please, don't miss this documentary film.
It is absolutely clear, beautiful, inspiring, awful, scary and amazing.
I highly recommend that you buy the DVD (available in a month) and share it with friends and others.
Yes, we recycle.
Yes, we have a hybrid (part electric car with 45+ mpg.) and another high efficiency Toyota.
And yes, we need to keep looking for the best place to live with the least commute.
Yes, we can do more, just by being conscious and respectful of the earth changes.
Purpose for our Youth (Another current topic observed and requested)
Have you noticed for many youth and young adults, there seems to be a lethargy and lack of purpose?
Have you perceived the glazed or unconscious look in some of their eyes?
Are you amazed by the lack of respect and responsibility they seem to demonstrate?
Could it be we are giving them a sick world with confusing messages and values?
How are we inspiring those who watch our depression, anxiety, alcoholism and TV consumption?
How are we teaching those who perceive our obesity, unhealthy habits and materialism?
How are we modeling enthusiasm, creativity, possibility thinking with our worries and fears?
How does media portray the good life of glamour, youthfulness at all costs and obsession with money?
The days of family meals seem gone, prescription drugs ads are common and legal drugs are the cure for unhappiness.
Getting drunk is acceptable on the weekends, having a daily pastry and latte is essential and fast food is the only way to please everyone in the family. This sounds awful, wasteful, not fun, unhealthy and potentially endangers our culture.
What can we do?
Find a cause…any cause that we really believe in and live it fully.
If our cause is family, support the family in every moment. Make it a passion and a purpose.
If health is our cause, demonstrate and model healthy living on weekends and when no one is looking.
If our cause is spirituality, make it obvious that we are committed to lead an inspired and positive life.
If our cause is to be more giving, then give fully and freely where it will be most helpful and beneficial.
To teach living with purpose, we need to individually and collectively live with passion and purpose…
without abandoning our responsibilities and commitments to ourselves and our loved ones.
To support others living on purpose, we need to feel free to ask others their goals, their preferences,their hopes and their dreams,
their beliefs and ideals and then support others in being true to themselves.
We can only support others’ self realization without sacrifice (making them feel guilty), if we are actualizing are own dreams.
Give the best you know to those you love.
Live the best you know to love yourself.
Life is for giving.
It is in giving that you fully realize the gift you are.

Let’s teach our children skills.

t’s teach them to love themselves.

Let’s teach them to have good manners.
Let’s teach our children by being a good example.
Yes, you probably already know and have your own beliefs about the environment and global warming.
Yes, you probably care about our planet and what we leave for our grandchildren and their future.
Yes, you probably have heard doomsday theories and have become complacent in your comfort.
But please, don't miss this documentary film.
It is absolutely clear, beautiful, inspiring, awful, scary and amazing.
I highly recommend that you buy the DVD (available in a month) and share it with friends and others.
Yes, we recycle.
Yes, we have a hybrid (part electric car with 45+ mpg.) and another high efficiency Toyota.
And yes, we need to keep looking for the best place to live with the least commute.
Yes, we can do more, just by being conscious and respectful of the earth changes.
Purpose for our Youth (Another current topic observed and requested)
Have you noticed for many youth and young adults, there seems to be a lethargy and lack of purpose?
Have you perceived the glazed or unconscious look in some of their eyes?
Are you amazed by the lack of respect and responsibility they seem to demonstrate?
Could it be we are giving them a sick world with confusing messages and values?
How are we inspiring those who watch our depression, anxiety, alcoholism and TV consumption?
How are we teaching those who perceive our obesity, unhealthy habits and materialism?
How are we modeling enthusiasm, creativity, possibility thinking with our worries and fears?
How does media portray the good life of glamour, youthfulness at all costs and obsession with money?
The days of family meals seem gone, prescription drugs ads are common and legal drugs are the cure for unhappiness.
Getting drunk is acceptable on the weekends, having a daily pastry and latte is essential and fast food is the only way to please everyone in the family. This sounds awful, wasteful, not fun, unhealthy and potentially endangers our culture.
What can we do?
Find a cause…any cause that we really believe in and live it fully.
If our cause is family, support the family in every moment. Make it a passion and a purpose.
If health is our cause, demonstrate and model healthy living on weekends and when no one is looking.
If our cause is spirituality, make it obvious that we are committed to lead an inspired and positive life.
If our cause is to be more giving, then give fully and freely where it will be most helpful and beneficial.
To teach living with purpose, we need to individually and collectively live with passion and purpose…
without abandoning our responsibilities and commitments to ourselves and our loved ones.
To support others living on purpose, we need to feel free to ask others their goals, their preferences,their hopes and their dreams,
their beliefs and ideals and then support others in being true to themselves.
We can only support others’ self realization without sacrifice (making them feel guilty), if we are actualizing are own dreams.
Give the best you know to those you love.
Live the best you know to love yourself.
Life is for giving.
It is in giving that you fully realize the gift you are.

When Not Right
What do you do when something is just not right for you?
What do you do when you eat a food that doesn't taste right?
What do you do when a medication or supplement causes a bad reaction?
What do you do when massage or bodywork hurts?
What do you do when charged incorrectly at the store?
What do you do when someone speaks to you with disrespect?
Acknowledge yourself for noticing.
Ask within what is the appropriate response.
Respect yourself for needing to care for yourself.
Take responsibility for responding with respect and gratitude.
Treat the other as you would want to be treated.
Be honest with commitment to what s best for all concerned.
Place no blame on anyone. Simply state what is true for you.
Offer appreciation for the other's willingness to hear you.
I ask myself, if there is value in speaking up.
I always spit out food that does not taste right. (Discreetly of course.)
I don't take meds that cause odd sensations in my body. ( I take no medications.)
I let the practitioner know if I am uncomfortable. ( This helps them be more aware,)
Whether I am over or under charged, I let the sales clerk know. (Ethical business benefits everyone.)
I listen within to see if I can facilitate greater respect. ( I always speak respectfully in return.)
I may say aloud, "I really appreciate conscious and respectful service."
In our culture, often aggressive, angry or unconscious people are powerful and get heard.
To teach the patient, kind and gentle person how to be assertive is a fine art.
When we are wanting to develop more respect, responsibility and cooperation, we need to learn.
The assertive person is willing to listen and to speak without condemnation.
Said once with clear intention and focus, our message is powerful and will resonate.
Sometimes there will be a defensive response.
It is important to simply acknowledge, "Thank you for hearing me."
To be defensive, to explain or justify in response leads to argument or disharmony.
To simply acknowledge gratitude for the opportunity to share is helpful.
The outcome we want is for people to be sensitive, caring, fair and respectful.
Therefore, it is important for each of us to demonstrate our sensitivity, caring, fairness and respect.
Blessing our journey together,

Being Truly Helpful
Respect differences.
Understand all of us earth travelers are at differing levels of consciousness.
Know that what you see may not be perceived by others.
Be willing to suspend your judgments.
Seek and see the wholeness, goodness and love within everyone.
Answer when questioned with clarity about awareness of what will be received.
Wait with patience and kindness for others to experience their life consequences.
Speak out only when asked or there appears to be potential harm to someone.
Recognize values differences.
Give what will be welcomed.
Take time to listen and really understand.
Be willing to give without sacrifice or expectation.
Listen within and follow what is guided by love and genuine joy.
Everyone is learning.
Everyone is teaching.
Everyone is doing the best they are able and willing in each moment.
Everyone is following their own learning opportunities, beliefs and emotional willingness.
All are exploring and experimenting in life.
There is no right way to be, to behave, to live: each individual is choosing their own way.
We recognize that some genuinely want education and to be offered creative possibilities.
We learn that some want inspiration, to be inspired and motivated to heal and change.
We get that a few are choosing a similar path as ours and will benefit from our help.
We realize that no one is the same as we are, nor can anyone take our place.
Therefore, the work of one being truly helpful with healing, counseling, teaching, etc. is to wait to be invited, asked, appointed to share our knowledge, inspiration and guidance with others.
And when we are asked, we wait again to clarify exactly what, how and when our help is needed.
When we know, we know and proceed with respect for ourselves and for those to whom we give.
Being truly helpful is a fine art.
Proceed with respect, care and gratitude…and you will be asked again for help when the time is right.
Betty Lue
With our children, there are some other implicit assignments. More tomorrow.
Grandpa’s little helper, Lila.
Every child is filled with joy when they are given the opportunity to be truly helpful.
Let us make sure we encourage, value and truly appreciate everyone’s willingness to be of service!

No Conscious Commitment
If you have no mission, no life purpose, no inspired direction, how can you be successful?
If you are in the sea of life with no paddle, no compass and no rudder, where can you go?
If you are adrift, at the effect, purposeless, a survivor in life, how can you be confident?
To be successful, you must commit to something.
Commitment yields success.
Partial or periodic commitment yields periodic and partial success.
Total commitment yields total success.
In a culture of commitment phobia, there is a tendency to hesitate, to doubt and withhold.
With a history of hurt, humiliation and dependency, there is motivation to wait and do little.
Without giving, there is little chance of receiving.
Without committing there is less likelihood of true success at anything.
Consider committing to the highest Good in all things.
Commitment to God is the same as your commitment to yourself.
If one is lacking, the other will be as well.
Commitment to one's partner cannot be anymore authentic than one's commitment to oneself.
When our commitments to our physical well-being, finances, marriage, job, parents are in conflict,
our energy is dissipated and no one gets our best.
When we are living and giving with limitation and lack in one area, all areas lose.
Being committed truly means giving your all all the time.
Being committed means to put your whole self into your commitment.
Being committed means to choose to recognize and release all blocks and limitation.
Being committed means never quitting.
Being committed is a gift we give our selves and our creator of a life well lived.
If you want to really commit, put your commitments in all areas down on paper.
Clear and correct anyplace where your commitments are oppositional or not in alignment.
Declare the one overriding commitment that covers them all.
Name and claim, daring to challenge yourself by living your commitment totally at all times.
If you find resistance, you might want to ask what benefit do you get from being limited?
What benefit do you get from not being successful?
What is the gift to you in not wholeheartedly committing?
You may be surprised are the answer.
Loving you,
Committed to our awakening and inspired living,
Betty Lue

Standing Up or Lying down in Life?
Do you take life standing up or lying down?
Are you bending over backwards or moving on?
How we approach our life determines how we experience everything?
Victims find victimization.
Heroes find people to save.
Caretakers find needy people.
Lovers find lots to love.
Fighters see opposition.
Happy people enjoy what comes along.
Achievers get a lot done.
Athletes challenge themselves.
Needy people always see limitation.
Babies look for mothers.
Complainers seek caring listeners.
And more.
If you stand up for yourself, do you push others down?
If you stand up for yourself, by yourself, do you help others stand up too?
If you stand up for yourself, do you value others standing up for themselves?
If you lie down and surrender, do you feel wounded, hurt and humiliated?
If you lie down, do you trust in the learning and blessing that comes?
If you lie down, do you enjoy the rest and demonstrate true forgiveness?
If you bend over and take it, do you play victim and seek vengeance?
If you bend over, do you martyr and sacrifice hoping they will change?
If you bend over, do you realize that co-dependency weakens both parties?
If you move on, do you walk away in triumph and not caring?
If you move on, do you value the gifts of healing and blessing along the way?
If you move on, do you appreciate your demonstration of trust and freedom?
Just a little to ponder, while you choose your approach to life.
Remember, it is your life. You are the chooser. Your attitude determines your perspective.
See life from a higher viewpoint and you will experience life as fun, safe and easy.
It is always our own choice, when we trust life the life journey enough to set ourselves free.
There are no limits except in our limited thinking.
Enjoy the freeway.
Travel at your own speed.
Go in the direction that calls to you.
Goodness and Love Be With You,
Betty Lue
Can you imagine what it means to be supported by those who encourage, trust and free you?
Can you imagine how fun, safe and easy life can be with support when needed and freedom when requested?
Can you imagine how happy, capable and confident you will be with real love in your life everyday?
Why not begin today to give all this to those you love?
What you give you will receive for yourself!

Telling the Truth Sets Us Free
Wowie! Zowie! What an experience I had last evening!
For two hours, I was interviewed by God, disguised as four beautiful human beings!
I was in the Presence of those seeking to select a half time minister for a small local new thought church.
Their intention was pure. Their commitment was sincere. Their willingness to be present was inspiring.
While I went to the interview as a faithful servant of Spirit within, I came out of the interview with a passion and excitement for keeping the flame of Truth alive in this community Home of Truth.
Needless to say, I was moved, inspired and strengthened by our time together.
Rarely have I been interviewed and never with as much desire for sincerity, clarity and total truth.
Thank you God!
Much could be said about what transpired among us, but the bottom line is: I felt seen, met and heard…..
While I know our egoic minds were and are evaluating, comparing and perhaps doubting.
I have no doubt that Spirit will guide the direction and outcome of this time well spent.
I see where my life has led me . I know what I am to do.
And I recognize how rich we are when we live and give in Truth.
I was asked: "What is your Truth, Betty Lue?"
This is my favorite question and is rarely invited response in everyday encounters.
"How do you handle conflict?
How do you respond to someone judging you have erred?
How can you commit to a project, place or purpose, when you so frequently have moved on?
What would keep you from performing your functions as a minister of Truth?
How do you see yourself as a follower?
What are the new thought principles you live by?
How do you see yourself living prosperity principles?
What are your strengths and weaknesses?
How can you ensure the messages of the new thought pioneers, the Rix sisters, live on?
How will you encourage the active leadership and participation within the church?"
And more.
I noticed in the afterglow, I wondered whether I had fully disclosed the commitment I have to listening and following my inner Voice, living as I am guided day by day. And then I gave it all to God.
I affirm that God and Goodness are the Presence, Purpose and Power in my life.
I know I am being schooled, healed and undone wherever I am mistaken.
I trust that every place in which I find myself is the right place for my highest growth and contribution.
I seek only to serve the Highest Good for All in everything I Am and All I do and all those I serve.
I celebrate being here now and know it is All Good.
Encouraging the thousands who read these reminders to follow your inner voice, even where it seems impossible, irrelevant or unexplainable.
Just show up, pay attention and tell the Highest Truth you know without attaching to the outcome.
This is the Gift of Abundant Living.
Give life your All.

True Communication
Judgment separates people.
We attach to our perceptions and cannot afford to be mistaken.
We make the mistake of holding our judgmental opinion or position.
We see, believe and defend the judgment we have made.
True communication invites intimacy and union.
We open fully to seeing from the other's viewpoint.
We listen first without defenses, assumptions or opinions.
Communication facilitates coming together with the intention of respect, understanding and love.
True communication requires respect.
Respect is the willingness to look again.
Respect gives us another's perspective.
Respect opens the door to mutual understanding.
True communication asks us to be able to respond.
True communication is the coming together of both parties to respond to the needs of both.
True communication is the willingness to listen within to the deeper calling of all concerned.
True communication is responding with what is for the highest good of both.
True communication comes from Spirit within.
True communication comes from the forgiving heart.
True communication seeks to extend peace.
True communication is a gift of loving kindness.
True communication dissolves all separation.
True communication sees the wholeness and goodness.
True communication brings a union of souls.
True communication comes from God.
When I have not forgiven, I forget what is true.
When I have forgotten the truth, I have forsaken my Self.
When I have forsaken my Self, I am lost my faith.
When I have lost my faith, I must first seek God within.
I seek, serve, sponsor and support true communication.
Please forgive any errors in my judging mind.
Forgiveness is our gift to one another and to ourselves.
Forgiving myself for forgetting what is forever True.
Loving you,
Betty Lue

MisPerception Yields MisUnderstanding
Don’t forget : Free (by contribution) Holistic Clinic on Saturday and seminar on Impeccable Health Care on Sunday. (See Below)
Also the Inspirational Fellowship begins this Sunday from 8-9:15 AM at my offices at 140 Mayhew Way, Suite 1000, PH
Judgment gets us in trouble with ourselves and with others.
When I judge, compare, expect, wish you were different, I am getting us both in trouble.
When I judge anyone for anything, everyone realizes I may be judging them, too.
When I am judging, I am implying that I know what is best and right for you.
My judgments mean nothing.
I do not know what anything is for.
I cannot know your perspective, your past, your position, your process.
It is impossible for me to know what is true for you.
I forgive myself for judging strangers, friends, nations, leaders, doctors, anyone and everyone.
I forgive myself for judging us as one people and one humanity.
I forgive myself for judging ( a form of attack) on myself and others.
I know that each one and everyone is doing the best they know in the moment.
I see more clearly, when I love more purely.
I love more purely, when I free my mind from my misperceptions.
I cannot see, because I am blinded by my own fears and defenses.
When I free myself from self-judgment and forgive all my mistakes, I can easily forgive all.
It is possible that the errors in my mind are simply guilt projected onto others.
It is possible that the mistakes I see are my own reflected back to me.
It is possible that the world is a constant reflection of my own mistaken projections.
It is possible that with true forgiveness I can erase all errors in my mind and see truly.
What would I see if I were totally forgiving and forgiven within myself?
I would see a heaven of love and joy and peace.
I would see relationships filled with ease and harmony and kindness.
I would see lives of goodness and giving, wholeness and healing.
I would see laughter instead of tears.
I would see adventure and creation instead of fears.
I would see me in every you.
I would see the way we really are when we remember only LOVE.
Respecting our journey into awakening together in perfect Love,
Betty Lue

I forgive myself for judging strangers, friends, nations, leaders, doctors, anyone and everyone.
I forgive myself for judging us as one people and one humanity.
I forgive myself for judging ( a form of attack) on myself and others.
I know that each one and everyone is doing the best they know in the moment.
I see more clearly, when I love more purely.
I love more purely, when I free my mind from my misperceptions.
I cannot see, because I am blinded by my own fears and defenses.
When I free myself from self-judgment and forgive all my mistakes, I can easily forgive all.
It is possible that the errors in my mind are simply guilt projected onto others.
It is possible that the mistakes I see are my own reflected back to me.
It is possible that the world is a constant reflection of my own mistaken projections.
It is possible that with true forgiveness I can erase all errors in my mind and see truly.
What would I see if I were totally forgiving and forgiven within myself?
I would see a heaven of love and joy and peace.
I would see relationships filled with ease and harmony and kindness.
I would see lives of goodness and giving, wholeness and healing.
I would see laughter instead of tears.
I would see adventure and creation instead of fears.
I would see me in every you.
I would see the way we really are when we remember only LOVE.
Respecting our journey into awakening together in perfect Love,
Betty Lue

Happiness is a Choice
When you judge, you cannot be happy.
When you are unhappy, you are judging.
When you are forgiving of all judgments, you will be happy.
When you are unforgiving, you will be unhappy.
Vacations Create Stress
Change causes stress to the physiology and the psyche.
Adaptation to new circumstances demands extra energy, attention and effort.
This is a challenge to one's mind and body.
When we encounter many changes and needs for adaptation, there is additional stress.
Stress can be strengthening when it challenges us to stay conscious and committed to principle.
Stress can be distressful when it overwhelms us with anxiety, judgment and lack of confidence.
The work on vacation is to stay conscious and committed to spiritual principles of forgiveness and love.
The growth in life comes through experiences that seem to challenge our willingness to let go and Love.
Parents Need Vacations
Kids need parents who have given themselves impeccable care.
Kids need vacation only from stressed parents.
The challenges in life for children usually are from caregivers who are distressed.
As caregivers for all the children in the world, we owe them our best and most happy, healthy selves.
What Am I Learning?
I learn from every life experience.
I learn from everyone I encounter.
I learn from inner listening and outer observation.
I learn from both doing and undoing my creations.
Children Are Obvious Teachers
Children are sensitive and subtle beings.
They respond to small changes in the energies around them.
To be more respectful of children, we can provide more harmonious energy.
To love our children and support their loving, we must be truly awake and aware of our contributions.
To be awake is to realize that our love heals.
To be aware is to know our fear begets fear.
To be conscious is to maintain our own happiness.
To be happy with children is to love and enjoy life each moment.
Lessons the Last Three Weeks.
When to be silent and when to speak up.
How to care for those who have no voice.
How to flow with changes and challenges easily.
Creating peace within and around me.
Loving children well by seeing their wholeness.
Being with people rather than getting them to be with me.
Seeking to understand others first.
Convincing no one and demonstrating by the quality of my life.
Clarifying what others are trying to say to me without assumption or guessing.
And so much more.
Glad to be back with you.
Writing these Loving Reminders is a gift to me as well as to you.
Loving you and I well with a vision of our true oneness, wholeness and Love,

Remember?
Tired and happy to be home 19 hour flight time, laundry done, Robert is the guest Minister at his Mom’s church today, local theater this PM, enjoying our own bed and glad to be at the keyboard sharing with YOU! Betty Lue
What do you remember?
On this our Memorial Day, what do you remember?
Whom do you keep in your mind and heart?
It is usual to give our thoughts to those who have fought for our freedom
I also give my thoughts to those who are free, free in thought, word and deed.
I give my attention to the visionaries, pioneers, builders and doers, the worker-bees who have given to all.
I honor my ancestors and fore fathers, all peoples who have endured and cooperated and created.
Let us give homage and love to everyone without judging their contributions.
*************************************************
When you go on vacation, you vacate the usual and leave the everyday stuff behind.
When you leave, you have the opportunity to learn and grow or vegetate and relax.
When you go away, you can free yourself or be burdened with fear and need to control.
When you travel, you can go with the flow or be frustrated and besieged with anxiety.
I choose to practice what I teach everywhere.
I am here to be truly helpful.
Whether at home or away, I continue to practice being loving, helpful, peaceful and happy.
(And Yes, I learned many things as usual from my experiences.)
What you remember when you are away reminds you of what really matters to you.
When you go on vacation, you have the chance to forgive and choose again.
When you go on vacation, your can judge, compare and dare to be discontent or just enjoy what is.
The challenges of vacation come when we expect perfection and find ourselves judging.
I love the invitation to simply accept what is without projecting my judgments on life.
I love the opportunity to accept my role as "well" of peace and simple assurance.
I love being new with every one and noticing how much love can do.
I care most about remembering Love.
Love is my natural state.
When I have forgotten to Love, something has gone wrong.
On vacation, when we leave what is expected, scheduled and planned, we have an opportunity to choose.
What I choose to remember is to be grateful for the Good in my life.
What I choose to remember are all those I love and who love me.
What I choose to remember is how much I love to listen within and create.
What I choose to remember in quiet moments before sleep or early AM are those who have loved well.
What I choose to remember are the good times, the loving expressions, the opportunities to enjoy life.
What I choose to remember is how blessed we are to live where I do, always able and willing to love you.
I missed creating these reminders and communicating with you.
I missed music and the company of mindful beings.
I missed coaching and counseling with my friends and spiritual family.
The babies gave my great joy and being with the simplicity of our life.
However, there is happy work to adapting to new ways to wash and dry clothes, to cooking with limited foods, to having no car, to limited language to share, two babies to prepare foods for, carry and needing help to walk and more.
But there was always the opportunity to smile, say Thank you and to give a blessing.
I love you,
Betty Lue

I Love My Life
I love my life and my life loves me.
I am blessed, as I bless everyone I see.
My life works and yours can, too.
Give yourself to Love and Love will give to You.
How can you join me?
Take a moment to love what you see.
Open your mind and let yourself be.
Reach out with love, a hug or a smile.
Give those you encounter your best for awhile.
You can be busy accomplishing things.
Give yourself to what makes your heart sing.
Just do what you love and love what you do.
Then your whole life will always love you.
Everything you see is a product of your imagination.
So observe your creation with full appreciation.
And if you find it all too much or too little,
Change your perspective for a new point of view.
Forgiveness and gratitude
Are truly the key.
Forgive what you don’t want,
And let the rest be.
How Can You Help Me?
Give freely to what inspires you.
To Thine own Holy Self always be true.
Take time daily for a Divine appointment to listen within.
Walk around in life with a big silly grin of contentment and peace.
Give thanks and praise, time, energy and money to what you love.
Where you give attention, you increase that to which you give.
Eliminate negative thinking, wrongful speaking and unhealthy living.
Know you are blessing everyone everywhere with your positive changes.
I join with you, wherever you are serving the Highest Good for All.
Loving you mightily,
Ever True B'Lue

Love with Wisdom
I will be out of the country (no email or phone access) from May 14-28.
The twins, Harper and Lila, and their parents, my daughter Hilarie and Daddy Erik, are taking Robert and I to Spain, outside of Barcelona, and also on the isle of Menorca. We are given this gift of travel with these “almost walking and talking one year olds” to learn how to live life fun, safe and easy...loving everyone and enjoying everything. We also may teach them a thing or two about being silly, giggling a lot and being curious about the beauty we see everywhere!! While gone, go to my web site www.lovingreminders.org for past reminders archived there or better yet, listen within and write what you hear and feel!. Loving you. Know you are always in my heart for we are One in the Heart of God, the Goodness that simply IS.
Betty Lue
Listen to your heart.
Your heart encourages you to follow the most loving authentic path.
Trust your gut.
Your body tells you when you have neglected or ignored a wrongful position.
Respect your mind.
Your mind reminds you to find what is highest and best for all concerned.
Honor your Spirit.
Your Essence guides you to bless all that is with the Love You Are.
Your whole being resonates with health, happiness and confidence when you are fully Being.
Your holistic Self is alive with optimism, enthusiasm, creativity and vision when you are integrated.
Your more powerful, effective and transformative Self is renewed by your willingness to heal and grow.
Your True Essence shines through the words and deeds of your everyday life blessing your world.
You are here learning to be the bountiful beautiful Goodness of God.
Your are here earning your wings to fly high and free above the fearful chaos of the world.
There is a Real world beyond this world we see in the media.
There is a True safe haven, a home base of healing and Love, that lives within each one.
There is a peaceful possibility that serves you well when you still your mind and open your heart.
There is a loving voice to guide and direct you to safely navigate the storms of life.
Listen within when you mind is open and quiet.
Listen within when you are filled with delight.
Listen within when you resistance is gone.
Listen within and you will hear God's Song.
You are here to be happy.
You are here to be free.
You are here to give Love.
When Love is Who you Be.
********************
Affirmations are to be spoken and written ( at least 20 times daily) for 2 weeks.
Affirmations are to be used to clear away the mental resistance to what is possible.
Affirmations are the mental laxative to free the unconscious blocks to creative living.
Affirmations are the most effective way to let go of limiting programming you cannot see.
I now forgive everyone and everything including myself. I send my light and love to all those in need. I receive the light and love I give as I give what is true. I trust the universe is offering me the perfect Job now. I easily leave every place I go with the best I have. Letting go is fun, safe and easy.
Some jobs (relationships, challenges, issues, transitions) are easier than others.
But all have a holy purpose: To love away the darkness by shining your light.
When we start catching the darkness it is time to remove ourselves. And seek the Light.
When you see the Light, you will perceive all things differently.
When you see the Light, you will find the healing and Goodness within.
When you see the Light, you will bless all things, and fully appreciate your Self.
Always loving you and encouraging you to practice, everyday with everyone.

Short on Time?
Meditation is running into reality. It does not insulate you from the pain of life. It allows you to delve so deeply into life and all its aspects that you pierce the pain barrier and go beyond suffering.
Bhante Henepola Gunaratana, "Mindfulness in Plain English"
Be concise.
Do what is essential.
Even 2 minutes of quiet is better than none.
Say "I Love You" with eye contact.
Give and receive a smile or hug.
Pay attention to what is right in front of you.
Tel the highest truth.
Find something positive to say.
Give your best self.
Take time alone in nature, just to smile at the beauty.
Sing a happy song in your heart if not with your voice.
Be grateful for what you have.
Breathe deeply into your body and receive the life force.
Respect other's differences.
Teach courtesy by being courteous.
Be quick to forgive wrong-doings, yours and others.
Harm no one by erasing hurtful thoughts, words and actions.
Heal your past woundedness by remembering to believe in yourself.
Remember the One who loves you, your Source, wants you to be happy.
Happiness is your purpose here.
When you have made yourself unhappy, you have erred.
Forgive yourself and choose again for happiness and inner peace.
If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.
-Thich Nhat Hanh, "Being Peace"
Always loving you as I choose happiness and peace,
Betty Lue

Always loving you as I choose happiness and peace,

Living or Dying?
Are you dying to let go, rest and ease out of physical life?
Are you finishing the projects you started here?
Does the future look cloudy or grey with little delight?
Are you letting go of jobs, homes, relationships that no longer serve you?
Are you actively releasing the clutter and undoing commitments?
Are you relinquishing duties and obligations?
Are you glad to be done?
OR
Are you excited about your future?
Are you looking forward to all you can and will do?
Are you really living?
Are you alive with enthusiasm and expectancy?
Are you enjoying the creativity of your life?
Are you free to express yourself with song and dance, with words and deeds?
Are you beginning each day with curiosity and wonder?
Do you feel grateful for the beauty, goodness and wholeness in which you live?
Are you filled with awe at the Love and Light within You?
Whether living or dying, climbing or declining, you know which direction you are going.
When you are conscious about the choice to really be here or let go and move on, you are certain.
In confidence, you can easily move on without regret, handling anxieties and concerns.
When you are living, you easily release what holds you back with limitation and delay.
When you are dying, you easily release what keeps you going and growing to rest in trust.
Most are caught in self-made purgatory, stuck in between, afraid to choose.
In doubt, distrust, victimization, you might see yourself as never the chooser and always the loser.
Losing whatever you choose, to live or die, both seem unfortunate.
Purgatory is a state of ‘Damned if you do and damned if you don't’.
You know there are choices to be made, but are stuck in fear of making a mistake….again.
Sometimes there is a learned punishment and penance being paid by one who has erred.
Sometimes there is fear of reprisal by those we might hurt.
Sometimes there is belief that God Him/Her Self might find us flawed.
Sometimes there is just an unwillingness to face the choice to live or to die.
Sometimes we are just doing whatever we can to get by.
Some truth out of the B'Lue:
There is no right or wrong to be feared.
There is no way which ends your life.
To die is to be born again (here or wherever you choose).
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
Life is eternal.
When we let go of our physical life as we know it, we can recreate it to begin again anew.
When we hang on to what was formerly true, we keep experiencing the same thing again.
Mini-deaths, changes and transformation are occurring all the time in this time/space continuum.
Enjoy the choosing or suffer with being stuck.
Get on with living or with letting go.
It is all coming home to the Higher Truth of the One You Are and Know.
Loving us all, whatever we choose,
Betty Lue

Letting Go for Love
We think of what we want as things and people who come and go.
We think of what we want as pleasures and events of achievement.
We think of what we want as time to play and do the things we don't give time for.
We think of what we want as what we do not have or may lose in life's fickle game.
What happens when we release our grip and allow the winds of change to play?
What happens when we let it all go is nothing less than freedom and true joy.
Is we are free to create but yet another day.
The child who paints a picture lays it down without a thought to create yet another.
Monks build glorious creations from grains of sand, one at a time, and then sweep it all away.
We can easily let it all go and be glad for the creating, the enjoyment, the beauty and goodness.
To value what is illusive and temporary is fun, but to hang on is futile.
"Attachment is the source of all suffering", according to the Buddhists.
"More light and clear the clutter" are the primary tenets of Feng Shun.
"Release what never belonged to you", except in your mind, eliminates the pain of losing.
"Let Go and let God" comes from those who know.
Letting go is fun, safe and easy.…easy enough to say…
But for those who believe they are what they have, it hurts.
Letting go of fear and clinging leaves only love in its wake.
To release it all and find the blessing is the Joy of life.
What can you let go today?
What are your ready to forgive?
What is it that has a fearful grip on you?
What can you allow to pass on by?
To trust what is real and true will always be a part of you,
To cling to nothing and be sure of everything will cast no shadows on your mind.
To fully enjoy this moment now without holding onto yesterday will leave you free.
To be grateful for the experience of visioning, creating, experiencing and enjoying is true prosperity.
I love you and release you and all to your highest Good.
I need but lose my mind from things of this world to perceive but what is mine for all eternity.
I cling to nothing and am blessed by everything./
My life works because I am willing to listen, learn, love and let go.
Always loving and letting go,
Betty Lue

All Is Well
When we seek the Blessing in what is, we receive the Gift.
When we seek the mistakes in what appears to be, we can always find something wrong.
When we stop looking by criticizing the surface scratches, we miss the intrinsic deeper value.
When we seek healing, wisdom, goodness and beauty, we cannot fail to find it.
Life offers us many experiences from which we learn what we really value.
When we appreciate what we value, we experience increase.
When we take for granted what we value, we may experience decrease.
Life teaches us to seek for meaning and value through appreciation.
To trust the learning value of all things, we come to recognize our valuable creations.
To celebrate our lives with freedom to create, experience and enjoy, we increase our aliveness.
To fully enjoy what our lives offer, we must open our being to fully learn and appreciate.
All is well when we believe and perceive all is well.
I am happy to be back with you in this way.
I love learning and value sharing with you.
I celebrate our healing and growthful relationship.
I know all is well no matter what appears to be.
I am loving you and loving all endlessly.
Blessed be, Betty Lue

I am finding a way to sit down in my little chair.
Watch what happens when I finally do it myself!!
See my sister Lila watching me?
This is a little tricky at first!
Now comes the good part!
She lets me know she loves me!!!!!

Life is Good
When you look for the Good you find it.
When you look for the bad you find it.
Most of us spent years in education being judged by what was wrong.
The emphasis was on the one or two errors on our pages of work rather than the 95%+ that we just fine.
The same is true in medicine, accounting, law and our relationships.
The focus is on finding and pointing out the flaw.
It seems like we are taught we must be perfect.
When we make an error we are to be judged and corrected.
Try today to look on yourself and your life with love appreciation and willingness to see the Good.
It is amazing how much good you can find!!
Loving you,
Betty Lue
Tomorrow I am off to Palm Springs for 5 days to offer Ta'I Chi Chih and Practical Feng Shui to California Marriage and Family Therapists. Always together in Spirit!
