LIFE IS LIKE COFFEE - Author Unknown

-
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS!!

A group of college alumni went to visit an old college professor.  After awhile the conversation turned to the stress of life, careers, and relationships.  The professor excused himself to get coffee for the group.  When he returned, he had a full pot of coffee, as well as cups made of porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some were plain looking, some exquisite.  He told his guests to help themselves to the coffee.  After everyone had cup in hand, he said, if you notice all the nice looking expensive cups have been taken up leaving the plain and cheap behind.  While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourself, that is the source of your problems and stress.  Be assured that the cup adds no quality to the coffee.  In most cases it's just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink.  What all of you really wanted what was in the cup.  But you consciously went for the best cups, and then you began eyeing each other's cup.  Now consider this.  Life is the coffee, the jobs money and position in society are just tools to hold and contain life.  And the type of cup we have does not define nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes by concentrating only on the cup we fail to enjoy the coffee. Savor the coffee not the cup.  The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything. 

Live simply,
speak kindly,
care deeply,
love generously. 
The richest person is not the one who has the most but the one who needs the least!!!

Manifest It All!!!

-
Manifesting is different than wishing........Wishing is simple and overused, we wish our hair was longer, we were taller, we were sleeping while sitting in boring meeting.  Manifestation is our way to really get what we want and need for our higher good.  For our mission our purpose to help us and allow us to experience things we focus on to bring into our existence for growth and joy if done correctly.  Manifestation can and is a great learning tool and if we look at all we have manifested with intent of joy we can learn to manifest nothing but happiness. Manifestation can also represent the old cliche, be careful what you wish for you just might get it, especially when we yearn for something we had, but let go and then manifest it back into our lives.  Everything we currently have in our existence, we manifested.  The pillows on our couch, the trinkets on our mantels, etc.  Have you ever took the time to look around and really see the things that you manifested at one time yet hav

SOUL PURPOSE

-
I have found lately that all of the turmoil my mind has caused me was in a desperate attempt to find out my purpose and reason to be a participant in this world.  Was I here to save the whales?  Find a cure for cancer?  Was I important enough to have a purpose......I mean I hear it all the time that everyone has a purpose.  I was finding that I was becoming increasingly anxious in finding out what I was here to do, I mean what if it had eluded me for so long that I have wasted my time doing something I shouldn't have been doing?  I don't want to have to start over again, to have to come back and repeat the pain when I could have just done it this time around. So I have been asking and asking and then so defeated when it doesn't come back quickly.  I know that the answer has been there and given to me over and over.  I was just looking for more or a different answer I guess.   I found that purpose doesn't necessarily come from what you do, but purpose is actually what

Self Judgment

-
Judgment comes from our experiences, from the way we view the world, comes from our "beliefs" that we have learned and ultimately hold as our truths.  Wouldn't it be beautiful if we could release the judgment we hold in our heads, especially the judgment we place on ourselves.  I've been traveling down a path that was carefully orchestrated just for me.  I created it and when it became mundane or boring I added more.  Picture a  path in the middle of a beautiful open space.  At the beginning it starts just like the yellow brick road in "The Wizard of Oz" (I relate to the lion.....another blog :) ).  It is beautiful, big, and seems to go on forever.  There are portions of the road when I look further down the road where it seems to vanish (I know now those are the dips in my journey).  I can see a beautiful light, rainbow (I love rainbows.....they are magical) and the beauty from the light helps me continue.  I made sure the light came from above so even w
