An Apology

9/30/2013

Hello My Friends!

I hope this day and this week brings all that you are deserving of and feel worthy to have.

I must apologize to you. On Friday, September 27th, after finishing my thoughts to you, I failed to sign off with my usual closing. I considered deleting the blog and re-sending, however, I decided against that. My reason for not re-sending was that I "needed" to see that I was "not being in the moment." I was in such a hurry to move to the next "number on my list" that I forgot to sign off in the right manner. You will notice that I didn't close with "Until the next time and Peaceful thoughts." I was unhappy that I had not taken the time to ensure that you always are getting the best from me. And not signing off in the right way could be seen as "not the best of me."

After I thought about it, I was happy that it happened because it showed me that the "love of what I do is in the details." I was so concerned about completing my list as opposed to being concerned for the "now." The "now" is where the love is. The "now" is where good things happen. The "now" is where our growth is. It's right "now."

I promised myself that I would keep an "eye" on not being obsessive about completing the tasks that lay in front of me and instead keep an "eye" on being in the "now." Because as contrite as it may seem: Right now is all we have!

Until the next time!

Peaceful thoughts!

Stay In Your Lane

9/27/2013

Stay in your lane. Sounds simple enough right? Well, for many of us, it can be a challenge to stay in our lane. But what does that mean "to stay in your lane"?

Since Shakespeare stated in Hamlet that "brevity is the soul of wit", let's be as concise as possible: To stay in your lane means:

Beginning each day with gratitude.
Ending each day with gratitude.
Saying "no" when it's appropriate.
Saying "yes" when it's appropriate.
Holding yourself accountable for your actions.
Holding others accountable when it pertains to you and you only.
Keeping your thoughts free of clutter.
Keeping your thoughts focused on your goals.
Treating others as you wish to be treated.
Using your "gifts" to the best of your ability.
Forgiving yourself and others.
Not judging yourself or others.
Loving yourself.
Loving others as you would love yourself.
Staying the course of what you know to be true.

These few "lane stayers" should be enough to keep you focused on your lane. It seems to me, if we used any of these on a daily basis, we would have no problem staying "between our lines" as we travel our paths.

As a matter of fact, we would become so focused between our lines, we would most likely be more helpful to others as we would find that our path is free of "bumper to bumper" problems and unnecessary aggravations and congestion.

H.U.M.P Day!

9/25/2013

Hello My Friends!

Today is Wednesday and that means HUMP Day; the day that allows us to reflect on what we have accomplished this week and the opportunity to continue forward with what we have planned.

However, I think that HUMP Day should mean:
H: How
U: You
M: Manage
P: Possibilities

Ask yourself: Are you managing all of the possibilities that come your way? This would mean those possibilities that you know you should be taking advantage of and those you may feel or believe are out of the realm of what you believe is possible. Are you exploring options that yesterday seem far fetched? Are you giving some consideration to what you may feel is "out of your reach"? Are you "doing all that you are aware that you can do"? If not, it isn't too late!

See everyday as H.U.M.P day. Awaken each day as a child would; when they know a special day is on the horizon. Come to the new day with the thought of all the possibilities that await for you to manage. When the possibilities arise, take advantage of them as best you can. Some may speak from the ego, however, they will fade into nothingness. The "real" possibilities will have merit and you will know what's real if you are paying attention.

Today is truly H.U.M.P day. Enjoy the HUMP as you enjoy your day!

Until the next time!

Peaceful thoughts!

A Great Week!

Hello My Friends!

Wanted to wish everyone a great week! Today is Monday and we all have goals we wish to reach this week. Some of our plates are "fully loaded" and we become weighed down at the thought of what we either need to do, want to do or must do. You can become weary "just thinking about it."

Well, be realistic in what "you agree" to do this week. There are some things that are a priority and others that aren't. I know it can be a challenge as we want to tackle everything and be free of our list. Quite possibly you have made the list too long for this week and a few of the items can wait. Only you know what "must" be done.

If you find that you have placed too much upon your plate "remove" some of the items to allow yourself "breathing" room. However, don't allow this removal to be your escape for not accomplishing what you know should be taken care of.
Procrastination is an entirely different matter!

Until the next time!

Peaceful thoughts!

86,400 Seconds

9/20/2013

Hello my Friends,

Hope all is well with you and your loved ones.

86,400 seconds represents one day. Those 86,400 seconds represent 86,400 moments.

Moment by moment is all we have. Everything that we wish to be, do and achieve is actually moment by moment. That's all we have. A single moment. It seems contrived and simplistic; however, it's true. We only have moments.

I hope that during the course of the 86,400 moments you are doing what it is you love to do. I hope when the clock nears 86,401 that you can look back on those moments and say with a full and loving heart "great job" on using those 86,400 moments to your advantage.

I hope that the 86,400 moments you were given today were used to serve your purpose which hopefully is for the "good of all."

Until next time,

Peaceful thoughts,
-Dorothea

All Is Well!

Finally, all the "kinks" are out and "all is well." As with any new venture, there are small details that one must deal with and that is where our "character" is tested. Dealing with these issues can bring about frustration and impatient; however, we get a glimpse of where we are on our spiritual journey when these issues arise. We get the opportunity to see if we are "walking the walk" instead of just "talking the talk." It's our "pop quiz." Things "pop up" and in that moment we are in the "quiz." These pop quizzes are for our benefit and I have learned to appreciate them. If they didn't arise, we would move through life assuming that "all is well" and we had moved past trivial concerns.

I've had several "pop quizzes" bringing this site to you and I admit I didn't always pass with flying colors. However, I can say that the quizzes were extremely beneficial and I learned I still "have work" to do.

I look forward to communicating with you on a regular basis. I will post 3 times a week and really anticipate your comments. I desire to learn from you and hopefully you will learn a "little bit" from me. That's what it's about! All of us helping each other as we move through this earthly classroom.

See you the next time!

Peaceful thoughts!
