Everything Matters

Each morning during my quiet time I read from the Science of Mind Magazine. This morning I found a wonderful article and wanted to share some excerpts from my reading. The article - Everything Matters - is basically assuring us that everything we do matters, no matter how large or small. It is a wonderful reminder to honor all of our work and to know that we make a difference, even in what we may consider our smallest act.

The article starts with a quote by Emerson, "...to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch... to know that one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." He then adds the following quote from Spiritual Liberation by Michael Beckwith, "The vibrational imprint of your character will be a legacy in every corner of the cosmos." Wow, the vibrational imprint of our character - it says nothing of accomplishments or fame or fortune - just our very character. The way we treat each other, the words we speak to each other, the love we show, the gifts we give - large and small.

I am reminded today that everything does matter; every thought, word, and deed is sacred and important and makes a difference. Everything matters!

Emmanuel's Book

Wanted to share something from this amazing resource I am using in my daily spiritual practice - Emmanuel' Book. The book was compiled by Pat Rodegast and Judith Stanton and has an introduction from Ram Dass. Here is what spoke to my heart this morning.

"Your truth is your power.

The truth is the most freeing discovery you can make.

To be free of the fear of death,
to be free of distrust, of limitation,
to be free to be who you really are-
these are the gifts that you will receive
by paying the price of introspection and honesty.


Human life is a most difficult classroom
until you learn the simple fact
that your truth is your power,
your salvation, your fulfillment,
your purpose and your way.
Once you can truly believe that
life becomes the joyous and abundant garden
that it is meant to be."



My prayer is that we all know and live our truth right here and right now. Peace and blessings.

Good Morning

I wanted to share something that I found in my quiet time this morning. It is such a wonderful reminder of who we are.

"You fight your way through the demons, stand before the holy of holies, and when you rip away the veil, there's nothing there but a mirror."
