Creation

How does creation work?
Wherever two or more of us are joined in Love, Freedom and Trust, all things are possible.

To create is to act like a creative being, think like a creative being and appreciate ones' creativity.
To heal is to act and think like a healed and holy beingness and to appreciate one's wholeness.

Healing, wholeness and holiness are all different levels of the same experience of our natural state.
Creativity is the natural function of Love, which is essentially freedom and trust.

Freedom has no limitation, lack or littleness.
Freedom is open to the infinite.
Trust has no doubt, fear, or judgment.
Trust is remembering We are One with our Creator.
We are all created by our Creator to create.
Our natural state in love is to create only wholeness, Goodness and Beauty.
When we are lost in the confusion of our fear and judgment, we may create defenses against the Truth.
When we are unconscious of our creative power or unwilling to take responsibility for our miss-creations, we may feel victimized, punished and judged by our world (a reflection of our inner self judgments).
When we blame ourselves, feel guilty or regret our miss-creations, we often block our creativity.
To create like God is to enjoy and increase our creativity with full appreciation.

Try out this exercise in choice:
I forgive myself for any and all mistakes.
I totally take responsibility for the quality of my life and my relationships.
I am a happy willing learner in life.
I freely release all fear, doubt and judgments of my choices.
Fill in the blanks honestly:
I want my life to be _________, ________, and _______.
I want my time to be_________, _________ and ______.
I want my relationships to be _________, ________ and ________.
I want my emotions to be ______. _____ and _____.
I want my thoughts to be _______, ______and _______.
I want my activities to be________, _____ and ________.
I want my work to be ________. _____ and _____.
I want my home to be ________. _______ and _________.
I want my health to be _______, ________and __________.
I want my finances to be _______, ______and __________.

I deserve to have what I want.
I am willing to have what I want.
What I want is best for myself and best for others.
I am willing to recognize and clear all blocks to the awareness of all Good in my life.
All is in divine order.
I now have what I want.
I appreciate all I have.
I give thanks that my life works.
I forgive myself for forgetting to do the work.
I am willing to take total responsibility for choosing my life.
God wants me whole, happy and free. And I am willing.
My vision for myself is the same as God's and I appreciate this is so.

Blessing your willingness to acknowledge and take responsibility for your creativity.
Betty Lue

Our creative work is simply:
Be crystal clear about what you want.
Be aware and clear all the blocks to having what you want.
(Let go of everything that does not support you in having what you want!)

No Failure. No Fault.

Life is a fail-safe Exploratorium.
Everyone will awaken.
All of us will recognize the ever Present Power of Love.
Each one of us will come home to the Truth of Who We Are.

We are One Self, United with our Creator,
At One with every aspect of Creation,
Unlimited in Power and in Peace. (ACIM)

There is no harm.
There is failure.
There is no sin.
There is no right way or wrong way.
There are errors in perception.
There is faulty beliefs and limited thinking.
There is unwillingness to see what no longer works.
There is forgetting to listen within for the highest Good.
There is attachment to what is comfortable and familiar.
There is choosing to suffer and sacrifice and despair.
There is made up limitation, lack and littleness.
There is unwillingness to forgive and undo what is not True.
There is the choice to worry, fear, judge, feel guilt and blame.
There is denial of what is.

There is learning to heal.
There is willingness to forgive our resistance to stop, look and listen.
There is only learning that Love is Real.
There is choosing only the highest and Best for ourselves and the same for others.

Love is healing.
Love is Freedom.
Love is omnipotent.
Love is creative.
Love is joyous.
Love is Good.
Love is God.
Love is Who and Whose we are.
Love created us creative.
Love is our natural state.
Love is.
With Love, all is well.

When we trust in the ego's fear, comparison and the balance sheet in life, we forget.
When we trust in the world, we get lost and become afraid of failure.
When we see the world as measuring our worth, we feel guilty or resentful.
When we believe that our success is of the world, we lose sight of Reality.

Life is for giving and we are the gift.
When we have not fully acknowledged the gift we are and received the gifts we give, our flow is diminished.
When life is not working, it is a call to stop, look and listen within.

Ask yourself these questions:
Listen within for the responses from your True Self!
(PS. It may be difficult to hear the Truth when you are invested in decisions in the past.)

Who am I really?
What is my calling?
What do I really want?
What can I do to have what I really want?
What is interfering with my easily and naturally living my ideal life?
How can I be awake, aware and enthusiastic?
What is my real work here?
What am I willing to do to clear the blocks to freedom and fulfillment?
How can I feel grateful and blessed everyday?
What is the message I have come here to receive and give?
What can I do to realize my life purpose now?

Yes, these are all the same question being asked in many ways!

Yes, You can have the life you want.
No, you cannot control others or your world.
You can change your mind, choose your emotions and commit to Love it All!

Loving you,
Betty Lue

Fun, Safe and Easy Relationships

Monday Night Relationships Coaching Circle is receiving a lesson each week to encourage practicing a helpful loving reminder in their relationships. I offer this one for your consideration.

Before understanding comes Peace.
Relationships will be fun, safe and easy, when you are peaceful.
To be peaceful, you must be true to yourself.
Sacrifice yields inner conflict with expected reciprocation and resentment.
True integrity, taking care One Self, yields inner peace.


When we are taking full responsibility for our own happiness,
When we are living on purpose and following our heart,
When we are in love and happy with our lives,
We are peaceful.
When we are peaceful, happy and true to ourselves,
What others are doing, is simply that, what they are doing.
There is no upset, no expectation, no demand or threat, no need to have others conform to our needs.

Every upset is simply a wakeup call, telling us we are off path, not on purpose and out of integrity.
Peace comes from living our own life according to our inner guidance, following our heart.
Only when we are at peace, not judging, blaming, hurting or afraid, can we fully understand another.
Only when we are really loving ourselves and true to our purpose, are we at peace with others.
Only when we let go of sacrifice, trying to get Love, and being dependent, can we fully unite.
Only when we are make peace inside, can we be peaceful outside with those in our lives.

All work in relationships is an inside job.
First find inner peace, be at one with yourself.
Then you will experience easy healing and freeing love for others.

Loving you,
Betty Lue

PS
Yes, this means giving up specialness, neediness, dependency, comparison, assumptions and expectation.
Yes, this means honoring your own needs and filling them with the guidance and help of Spirit.

The new Relationships Coaching Circle will begin on Wednesday evening September 13 at 7:15 PM.
You are invited to attend for the whole 10 week series or drop in when you are available.
Your investment is $25/week or $200 paid in advance for the series.

Can You Care for Yourself?

Are you dependent on others?
Do you need others to entertain you?
Do you need others to approve of you?
Do you need others for company?
Do you need others to provide for you?
Do you need others to listen to you?
Do you need others to motivate you?

How do you need others to care for you?
Who do you need?
How much do you need them?
What do you need from them?
Do you ask or demand what you want?
Do they deliver what you need?
Do you accept their "No" as easily as their "YES"?
Do you let go of asking those who have nothing to give?
Do you give to those who have nothing?
Do you keep going to the dry well, expecting a flow?

Do you know how to give to others?
Do you let giving bring you joy?
Do you know how to receive from others?
Do you receive with genuine appreciation?
Do you feel grateful for all gifts of love?
Do you truly value whatever is given?
Do you give according to how you have received?

When we are dependent, others are aware and usually stay away.
When we are needy, usually others are cautious about their association.
When we are complaining, often others will leave to avoid our negativity.
When we are never satisfied, usually others quit trying to give to us.

Do you know how to care for yourself?
If you were not loved well or were deprived, you probably do not know how to love yourself.
If you were expected to satisfy others first, you may not feel safe in caring for yourself.
If your nurturing parent was needy and demanding, you may have learned to be needy and demanding.
If you have no model f appropriate self care, you may not have a picture of how to love yourself well.

Essentials for Balanced Self-Care
Quiet time for spiritual connection.
Time in nature for resonance with the Earth Mother.
Meaningful and productive work for a sense of value and fulfillment.
A healthy and healing relationship, (partner, friend or family member) with mutual respect and love.
Gratitude for everyday living.
Creating beauty and goodness for ourselves and others.
Respect for humanity and those with whom we connect daily.
Rest and recreation for renewal and enjoyment.
Education and inspiration from which to grow and develop a greater sense of life purpose.
Selfless service with joy for those who come for help.

I am encouraging those adults who are dependent to develop independence first.
From independence, healthy interdependent relationships will emerge, when we have discovered our own worth and self love.

Depending on God, Spirit within,
Betty Lue

Even at this age, they are actively developing independence.
To trust in the love and safety in your world supports being free.

With independence comes love, gratitude and mutual respect.

Age one and two are key for learning to believe in yourself.

The minute they could do it themselves they were happy and free!

Conscious Communication

Are you responsible?
Do you stay conscious?

If you knew every thought is transmitted to everyone everywhere, would your thoughts be more kind?
If you knew every word you speak is teaching children everywhere, would you speak with more respect?
If you knew every action, in private or in public, is known by all people, would you clean up your act?

Every thought, word and deed is teaching all the universe.
We are not alone in what we do. There are no secrets.
Our directed energies affect everyone everywhere.
We are a part of everything and all that is.

To be responsible, we must be able to respond to what comes our way.
To be responsible, we must be respectful and loving with what we do and say.
To be responsible, we must be full of care for what is given us to do.
To be responsible, we must listen to our hearts and be forever true.

This weekend I am offering a facilitation workshop in conscious communication.
The two primary teachings are:
1) Pay attention to what you pay attention to.
2) Bless everyone and everything.

To be awake requires that we take responsibility for our thoughts and heal our judgments.
To be aware requires that we be responsible for our words and how we communicate.
To be conscious requires that we spiritually choose those activities that serve the Good of All.

Being a conscious messenger is a higher calling requires being awake and aware and total responsibility.

Loving you,
Betty Lue

Too Much or Too Little?

Do you recognize when too much is too much?
Is there effort, competition, push or striving?
Or is there ease, support, flow and willingness?

Do you realize when too little is being given?
Is there withhold, fear, judgment and conditionality?
Or is there generosity, forgiveness, appreciation and joyful giving?

With attention to our experience, we can know when we withhold the flow.
With consciousness of the moment, we can feel when we are trying to get our way.

To allow what is to be is key.
To free our energies to see what is asks only that we let go of needing to know the outcome.
To appreciate our willingness to be fully Present, in Love, empowers what is to heal and be.

Life asks that we be here now, celebrating each moment as it is.
Nothing to do…except see and free all the blocks to fully being here in Love, as we truly Are.

Loving you, loving me, as we all choose to Be,
Betty Lue

Miss So So (Sofia, Gia, 8 mo. old sister) loves her Grandpa Robert.
PS He is the one who takes most of these delightful photos.

Watch children at play and rest, simply being.

They take in what gives them pleasure.

They move away from what hurts or depletes their energy.
They love, laugh, learn and let go easily moving on to the next moment.

Be as a child, happy and free,expressive and authentic, giving and receiving Love.

Rest, Create, Work and Play

There is a Be, Do Have Rest Abundant Cycle which I teach in my Conscious Communication work.

To have Inspiration and Vision, we must first be still and quiet the Mind and rest in the silence.
To effectively produce, achieve or manifest, we must first have inspired vision and direction.
To fully play, enjoy and be grateful, we must fulfill our chosen work and agreements in life.
To truly rest, we must support others and feels supported with our gratitude and full appreciation.

When there is judgment and fear blocking any aspects of our life, we limit our abundant living.

Balance in life is essential.
Awareness and forgiveness clear blocks.
Focusing on whatever our current stage is with full attention is vital.

Rest well.
Create with Joy.
Do what is yours to do.
Love and appreciate your self and others is what gets done.

Life will be abundant for you!******

Loving you well,
Betty Lue

Are you wide-eyed, open and curious about all the Goodness you will enjoy each day?
Are you ready and willing to love everyone who comes offering Love to you?
Are you ready to receive the very Best and forget the rest?
You will be happy, and healthy and free!

Healing Tools

Changing Your Mind Changes Your Life

When the mind gets stuck on a belief a thought, belief or perception, our inner light (life force) shines through the belief and projects it onto our emotions, our body, our relationships, our job and finances. Literally, what we believe is out-pictured in what we experience.

When the mind is given (learns, hears, empathically takes on) a belief at birth, it begins to accumulate evidence that what it hears is true. False Evidence Appearing Real=FEAR. The mind gathers information to prove itself right, thus building a case to continue the limiting belief and limiting life experience.

When you look at your life, what do you see?
When you shine a clarifying light on your life patterns, what repeats itself and/or stays around is the faulty and limiting belief which you are here to forgive, clear and heal for all generations, past, present and future.

We are the conscious healers of our time,
here to be truly helpful in releasing humanity from the errors of our thinking, judging, misperceiving, and believing.

What do you use to do the work?
Are you too lazy, too afraid, hurt, angry or blind to know what to do?
Have you allowed what is untrue, unloving and unwise to take over for you?
Forgive and Choose again.
It is your mission, if you choose to accept it, to heal what is not real.
-To love, not leave your ego.
-To surrender to the power and presence of Love and Goodness in You.
-To be a happy willing learner in embrace and love fear into nothingness.
-To practice daily whatever spiritual tools are best for you.

Take your choice and add your own to this powerful healing and freeing list.

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.

There are many tools for healing, clearing, undoing and erasing past false learning and programming, patterns and beliefs.
The real work is to USE them consistently.
I invite you to take charge of your mind and your life.
What you believe you see and make so in your life.
Be wise in choosing only those beliefs which create more goodness, wholeness and Love in your life.

Together in Love,
Betty Lue

What Do You Want

DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE NOT READY, ABLE AND WILLING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR LIFE!

You experience what you want (believe you deserve, think you can get or call it your karma), whether you accept it or not.

You can have a problems and see it as a valuable lesson or as a curse.
You can have financial downturn and see it as an opportunity to simplify your life.
You can have relational discord and see it as a wakeup call to trust and accept the differences.
You can have a sudden loss and see it as an invitation to appreciate what you have.

To take responsibility for what we have in our lives is a big leap for those who are used to seeing themselves as victims in life.
To blame circumstances or God or our parents or the weather or germs or authorities in our life is to relinquish choice, control, power and effectiveness.
To take full responsibility is to own I am at cause.
To take responsibility is to say I know what I want and I let go of everything that is not supportive.
To take responsibility is to take impeccable care of my mind, body and spirit, so I can choose consciously.
To live responsibly is to cultivate and trust my relationship with my inner Self, my creator Self.
To live responsibly is to let go of all the obstacles to freedom and trust within me.
To live responsibly is to simplify, clarify and embrace what is, receiving the gift in everything.
To live responsibly is to enjoy the life I have and to forgive what I do not enjoy, letting go with ease.
To live responsibly is to relinquish guilt and blame, shame and resentment.
To live responsibly is to make conscious choices for the highest good of All.
To live responsibly is to keep my word, to give my best and appreciate all beings equally.
To live responsibly is to seek nothing and give everything.
To live responsibly is to listen in the stillness for the Voice of Consistent Unconditional Love.

When I believe I have not chosen what I have, it is time to forgive my self and those I blame.
When I believe I have not chosen what I have, I can take responsibility for not knowing how.
When I believe I have erred in what I have, I can forgive my errors with gratitude for learning.

Everything can be undone, reversed and erased with forgiveness.
All things work together for Good.
It is in my willingness to be appreciative of my learning that I expand my consciousness.

Watch your thoughts.
Listen to your inner messages.
Notice how you talk with and treat others.
Pay attention to images you watch on your inner mental screen and your TV, video and computer screen.
Heed your affirmations to others.
Actively seek all the contrary messages you give to yourself.
And remember, whenever you have part of you saying YES and part saying NO, you go nowhere.

Wow, we really are responsible for the experiences in our lives.
We really can change our lives for Good.
We really are able to have what we want so we can share what we have.

We are the same, You and I. All of us are in this together to learn with and from one another.
Betty Lue

Take time to learn from everything and everyone.
Happy willing learners enjoy all life’s experiences.

Truth

What is true for you may not be true for another.
The mind sees what it believes.
If you hold a belief that black cars are beautiful and white cars ugly, this will be your experience.
If you "know" that teens are rude, you will not only perceive rudeness, but will encourage their disrespect by how you think, speak and act toward them.

We generate our perceptions based on our judgments.
Our senses obey our mental control center.
Our minds screen out what does not agree with its programming.
When we are judging, we are not neutral and cannot see what is.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Truth is in the mind of the perceiver.
When we see without prejudice, it is easier to see what really is.
Love, awareness with non judgment, heals our perceptions.

Our beliefs help create our perceptions.
Our perceptions and experiences we call our truth.

What I know, as the guiding principle in my life is:
A Creative Power that is All Good and Loving created Goodness and Love.
Therefore, my truth is that beneath all errant behavior is the potential for Goodness and Love.
My perception is that those who have forgotten their true Creator have gotten lost in false beliefs.
And as humanity fell into belief in evil, we literally and collectively built an "anti God Truth".
To make our mis-creation "right", we continue to gather evidence against the "evil" we created.
The solution for me is to trust in the innate Goodness and Love within All That Is and the rest, the made-up Truth, will dissolve into the nothingness from whence it came.

(Yes, I counsel, coach, affirm, pray, write, travel and teach to awaken humanity, so I am an active loving reminder!)

My Truth, as I choose it to be for me:
What is not Love is merely the call for remembering Love.
To Remember Love is to Return to Wholeness and Holiness.
This is the ReUnion of our selves with out True Self,
the ReUnion of the children with Our True Parent or Creator,
and our ReUnion with all Life.

In Reunion, All is One and One is All.

Remembering the Love We Are,
Betty Lue

Change Encourages Freedom

When we fear change, we try to control situations.
When we fear change, we resist and experience pain.
When we fear change, we may experience confusion.
When we fear change, we may get stuck and stagnant.

When we love change, we will create new experiences.
When we love change, we will be flexible and adaptable.
When we love change, we will be energized by the unknown.
When we love change, we let go with freedom and trust.

When we fear, we can forgive our fear.
Where we fear, we can heal unconscious patterns of the past.
When we fear, we can give ourselves reassurance and comfort.
When we fear, we can invite ourselves to open to trust.

Each one of us can resist the natural changes in life and feel stuck.
When we fear, we lose control.
When we fear, we reinforce our pain.
When we fear, we feel victimized.

When we love, we gain control.
When we love, we release our pain,
When we love, we feel part of the change.
Each one of us can accept the natural changes in life and feel free.

Loving the changes in you and me,
Betty Lue

Our Real Work

To play at our work offers a light filled life.
To be serious, stuck and stressed is heavy.
We all have real work to do here, but it is far from the arduous routine of working for a living.
Our real work is to experience and inspire happiness, wholeness and meaning in our lives.

Our real work is to be happy and at peace.
Our real work is to be in love, a space of trust and freedom.
Our real work is to take responsibility for the life we have.
Our real work is to enjoy the life we choose.
Our real work is to blame no one including ourselves.
Our real work is to see what is without fear.
Our real work is to offer our conscious blessing of love.
Our real work is to clearly experience the Presence of Love.
Our real work is to forgive our misperceptions.
Our real work is to respond with Love to all calls for Love.
Our real work is to give and receive the best and bless the rest.
Our real work is to listen within and follow the guidance of spirit.
Our real work is to teach and live what we are learning.

Our real work is to Love Unconditionally, Serve from the Heart and Remember God.
Loving you,
Betty Lue

Life Is a Playground

We are kids learning to play together.
Children making choices,
Children deciding what to do next.
Kids laughing and enjoying the experience…..
This is the life we will have, if we see ourselves free.

The inner adult demands, "How do I earn a living?
How do I feed my family and pay my bills?
What about my part to play and saving the world?
How do I stay safe and feel like I belong?"

We are all players in the exploration of our lives.
Look around and see what lies in your playground.
Are your favorite things in good repair?
And do you dare to take time off the adult duties?
What do you love to do?
Swing so high you can almost fly?
Slide down and around and run around to slide down again.
And do you go splat at the end or jump up and begin again?
Do you just love to climb and swing and hang from those monkey bars?
Just exercising your agility and flexibility and showing off, too?
How about the sand box…Digging for treasure in a never ending search.
Are you building castles that disappear when someone else comes along?
Or building roads and towns and caves and moving around trucks and cars and people, too?
How about just sitting on the edge and watching others play?
How do you do your playground day?

If you pay attention to your life, as you play it,
You will see the themes, the patterns and outcome too.
We are just kids all here playing…
Until we figure our what to do.
We love to explore and discover and know…
That is our calling, how we heal and how we grow.

The outcome is clear.
We choose the games we play.
We all go home after a hard day's play.

We can ask ourselves,
Am I playing my life as it feels best for me?
Do I like the way I am relating to others?
Do I enjoy the work and play that I do?
Am I living my life my way or yours?
Do I know what I want and enjoy what I do?
Am I happy with myself and to myself be ever true?
Do I like doing the same thing over and over?
Do I go splat when I fall and jump up and begin again with joy?
Am I learning and growing, discovering how to be true?
Am I enjoying the feeling of healing the hurts and losses?
Am I taking responsibility for the freedom to choose?
Am I mastering this playground so no one can lose?

Loving the play,
Betty Lue

What is Your Gift?

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

Celebrating the life of Jackie Waldon today at 2PM in the Diablo Room of Hillside Clubhouse in Rossmoor.

Offering Sunday Services at the Home of Truth, 1300 Grand Ave. in Alameda on Sunday at 10:30AM.

Moving Creative Solution Offices to 140 Mayhew Way, Suite #200, Pleasant Hill this weekend.
We are joining Kathleen Sims in our new co-creation, Center for Conscious Living.
This suite is the former home of Shared Potential for 13 years.
It will offer more space for groups, classes, and fellowship.

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,
Betty Lue

Tuesday, June 27, 2006

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,
Betty Lue

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,
Betty Lue

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.
Betty Lue

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

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

PS
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.
Betty Lue

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,
Betty Lue

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
