Change

ALL THINGS CHANGE.

SO CHANGE FOR GOOD.


Affirmations:

I forgive any and all mistakes and misunderstandings.

I choose to stop making assumptions, explanations and justifications.

I take full responsibility for all past, present and future choices I make.

I honor myself for speaking and living my truth.

I am open and willing to choose and change for the Good of All.


Change for Good


Are We Ready for a Change?

To know where to go next, we must know where we are.

To know how to be guided to our destination, we need to have our bearings.

To understand what course corrections may be needed, we must see how we got here.


When we are blaming others, we must be responsible for change.

When we are feeling victimized, we must take the reins of our destiny.

When we are distrusting our own abilities, we must forgive our mistakes.

When we are uncertain of the future, we must consistently listen within.


Have we learned from the past?

Do we know we are repeating old unconscious patterns?

Do we see how our shared stories, fairy tales and history create more of the same?

When will we claim responsibility to clear the old and write a new script for humanity?


I am ready to do my part and make new choices.

I am willing to step forward and claim I am responsible.

I know I am able to respond with my conscience and consciousness.

I know right from wrong, good from bad, and can choose a new voice for freedom of choice.


No one makes us do what we do.

We are together in this time and space to choose for ourselves.

We can pretend but we must make amends and forgive ourselves.

We are able to respond with love and release fear, respond with truth and stop pretending.


When we have forgiven, the fog will clear and illusions will be gone.

When we stand together, the woods will not block the sunlight.

When we remember what we have created, we easily can choose again.

When we hold the truth above pretense, we reveal all we need to heal.


Let us step up into a new dawn, a new year, a new reality.

Let us awaken and choose again for what we truly desire.

Let us stop wishing and create what is, with full responsibility.

Let us recognize the karma of our own unconsciousness and release ourselves to be here now.


All Is Forgiven.

Love Is Real.

We Are At Choice.

Life Is Our Revelation.


Trusting and Freeing YOU!

The Week After Christmas

 

T’was the week after Christmas and all through the land

Things were all settled, it was all pretty bland.

The gifts put away, the sales all complete

Settled down by the tube in my favorite seat.

I had my awareness written down in my book

Had my insights, ideas and whatever it took.

The spiritual lessons had been easy to share

They were all filed away (I’m not really sure where).

When deep down inside me there arose such a clatter

It was really unfair. Now what was the matter?

Away from my chair I flew like a flash

I looked in the mirror and then came the crash.

My life was unsettled with nothing the same

And the worst of it all—there was no one to blame.

When what to my wondering eye should appear

But a glowing white light, from behind my left ear.

With a little old angel so lively and quick

I’d seen him before. I was going to be sick.

More rapid than eagles his pronouncements they came

And he whistled and shouted and called me some names.

“More action and faith and tolerance and trust

Now listen within, be responsible, you must.

To topple complacency and breach the fear wall

Now dash away, smash away, drop away all.”

As leaves caught up in a hurricane fly

All of my thoughts were thrown up to the sky.

And as they were jumbled and tumbled and swirled

I knew when they landed, it would be a new world.

And then in a twinkling, I felt it all start

The seeds of awareness awakening my heart.

 

 

As I came to my senses (picked myself off the floor)

I saw in my mind’s eye, a picture of more.

A world bathed in light, from the south to the north

With every one on it aware of his worth.

No one was waiting for others to do,

Or to fix or to heal or to make it all new.

Their eyes how they twinkled, their dimples how merry

When they each played their part,

                                           the world was easy to carry.

The smile on each mouth was drawn up like a bow

Shining laughter and love wherever they’d go.

The aura of kindness bespoke inner peace

Letting each individual experience release.

Oh the bright shiny faces, wherever you’d look

It seemed—to be willing was all that it took.

To start with ourselves, from deep down inside

To give our true gifts, not to withhold or hide.

With no blame, shame or guilt for our seeming mistakes,

A little forgiveness is all that it takes.

To clean up our world from inside to out

It was simple and happy and I wanted to shout.

Once I see the Christ presence in each person’s face

We all become one, with no distance or space.

I recalled in that moment just what my gift was

To love all of my brothers, with no “why” or “because”.

And I’m here to exclaim as I set myself free

I remember the truth—It all starts with me.

Renew Your Life!

IT IS YOUR LIFE.

CARE FOR IT DAILY.


Affirmations:

I am alive alert and enthusiastic.

Everyday I awaken with wonder about what I will learn.

I love my life and my life loves me.

I freely choose what is highest and best for me.


Renew Your Life!


What do you do to renew your Spirit?

What do you do to inspire yourself?

What do you do to feel enthusiasm?

What do you do to be happy every day?


Your life energy is your responsibility.

Only you know how and when to fill your tank.

Only you can make the choices which benefit you.

Only you can assess and address what inspires you.


You have a life and it is yours to use well.

You have a mind and it is yours to inspire.

You have a body and it is yours to keep fit and energized.

You have emotions and they are yours to make happy.


This is your job to explore, observe and choose what works.

Nature, meditation, recreation, creativity, inspiration, contribution may work.

Exercise, competition, achievement, education, empowerment, building may work.

Relationship, intimacy, connection, partnership, healing, listening, quiet may work.


Do you know what works for you?

Music and art, writing and design, varying forms of creating beauty inspire and renew.

Finding someone to love and be loved, creating a family and connection may inspire and renew.

Healing and service, caring and helping, making people happy may inspire and renew.

Introspection and contemplation, wisdom and knowledge, prayer and meditation may inspire and renew.

Hunting and fishing, hiking and outdoor adventures, camping and rock climbing may inspire and renew.

Building a home, planting a garden, restoring antiques, making old things new may inspire and renew.

Creating a party, planning a wedding, rearranging your living room may inspire and renew.


May these ideas begin to inspire you to renew your Spirit.

May you research the various ways you have chosen to give yourself respite and rest.

May you look at the high points or moments in life when you felt most alive and aware.

May you see what fills your mind with appreciation and makes your heart sing.

 

Each one of us needs to have new beginnings and moments of sheer delight.

Each one of us must find our own way to gratitude and praise, feeling delighted to be alive.

Each one of us deserves to feel joyful and at home, safe and trusting, free and happy just to be.

Everyone can find our own way to renew our spirit and be alive again with love in our hearts.


Our gift to one another is to free ourselves to live with Spirit.

When we give ourselves regular renewal and daily inspirations, we will encourage others to do the same.

When we deny ourselves what is needed, we deplete ourselves and often become resentful and negative.

Let us forgive ways we have depleted and denied ourselves.

Let us freely give to ourselves and others what inspires, delights and enlivens us to live on purpose and in love.


Loving one and all, 

Betty Lue


Your life is your gift.

Unwrap it and enjoy it.

Take care of it.

Your Life is your most precious treasure.

Be Who You Are

BE THE LIGHT YOU ARE.

RECEIVE THE LOVE YOU SHARE.


Affirmations:

I live in Love and Love lives in me.

By the Grace of God, I am blessed with Gifts to be given.

Blessings abound for those who share Eternal gifts.

I forgive myself for any way I limit myself and my gifts.


Awaken and See


Not Who We Seem To Be.


There is something more within us.

There is more coming through us.

There is more to know than what appears to be,

We are more than meets the eye. 


Look beyond the body and you can see.

The great mystery is unfolding now.

Awaken and see what cannot be seen.

Listen and you will know what is the underlying show.


See the invincible.

See the all knowing.

Trust there is more to be revealed.

Heal with your heart and the mystery unfolds.


Breathe the Breath of Life into your body.

Speak the Words of Wisdom from your heart.

Know the Powerful Creator deep within you.

Trust the Divine Spark of Love that has created you.


You are the voice of healing.

You are the words of forgiveness.

You are the Love that remembers to be kind.

You are the presence of infinite wisdom in all minds.


Get reconnected and you will awaken.

Rise up with new almighty revelation.

Speak the works of celebrations.

And you will realize the touch of the Almighty.


Reveal your True Self to your self.

Stop concealing the Greatness and Graciousness within.

Live as the example where Real Love begins.

Give your heart and Mind to God and Goodness now.


The world we know seeks our jubilation.

The ones we know want only to be seen.

The Caring we feel is wanting only to heal.

When we heal our minds, we all heal humankind.


This is our time to stop conforming to littleness and lack.

This is our time to take our victimization back.

These are the days we have come to see.

This is our time to set one another free to be.


What can we know but let it all show.

We can serve no one when we hide the Light.

Let’s claim our Divine Inheritance and remember All is possible.

Let us conceive and believe All Goodness and mercy for All.


See the Light with delight,

Betty Lue
