Grieving doesn't end when we forget another's pain

Throughout the United States, family and friends are gathering for the celebration of Thanksgiving. Many will watch the big parades, football, play cards, eat to their heart's delight.

Yet, for many, today is a day of transformation. One that may include the pain around the loss of a loved one.

Likely there are many who will not know what this feels like. Others will know the feeling all too well.

Today is the first Thanksgiving many people will be without a loved one who has passed. Unless the loss directly impacts us, we can forget how raw the feeling in one's heart.

If you are sharing the day with loved ones who have gone through a loss in the last year, and this is the first holiday they are going through this, remember to be extra gentle, caring, loving and kind. We may forget the pain another is experiencing. 

With those who cannot share the day with us, a phone call to say "I love you", "I'm thinking of you", "I care" can be a welcome call and bring so much comfort. It is in the simplicity of reaching out, transformation continues to occur.

It is in the remembering we create oneness with our loved ones who remain. The loss of a loved one shifts our life forever. Make today a day of gratitude for the love we can still share and the memories we can continue to create.

Happy holidays to you and yours.

Please share your thoughts on how to help loved ones through the holidays if they have lost a loved one.

Are you in agreement?

Everything we do is an agreement

It is likely the agreement is one we are not even aware of, but it is an agreement nonetheless

When we wake in the morning, what is our agreement with ourselves for the day?

What choices do we make, moment by moment?Are we willing to put in the time for our growth?

The growth often happens in the silence of our voice

Silence to absorb, silence to observe, silence to receive

 

That which we believe...is!

All the skill in the world will do us no good if we do not believe ourselves to be deserving of abundance. It is as simple as that.

On Thursday, I will touch on this as I share insights on how to build a sustainable business. Not only do I believe skill is necessary, I know to the depths of my soul belief is absolutely essential to our success and abundance.

How often do people affirm all their abundance in one breath, and then in the next breath they say, “How am I going to pay the bills?”

The fact is, there is a source beyond what can be seen, touched or talked about. It is The Source. It is the manifestation of all we are deserving of. Yet, so often we invalidate that which is our birthright.

Today, at the Sunday Service of my Spiritual Center, the minister spoke of how powerful we truly are. We are only limited by our thoughts and imagination.
