My Wish For You Today

4/9/2014

Hello My Friends! Hope you are well and your week is good. Even with our struggles, it is ALWAYS GOOD!

Today, I want to offer my wish for you. Wishes are low level desires. I call them low level desires because when we use the words "I wish" it is most often used in the context of desiring something, however, not really believing that the wish will come true. I believe wishes can and do come true. Because I believe that wishes do come true, my wish for you today is the following:

I wish you love today from you to yourself.
I wish that someone you love loves you back.
I wish that you hear your heart today and listen carefully.
I wish for you a warm strong hug.
I wish that you appreciate all that you are.
I wish that you see the sun and realize you shine as brightly.
I wish that you see the moon and see the glow that surrounds you.
I wish that you see the stars and realize one of them is you.
I wish that you realize the world is a much better place because you are in it.

Until the next time,
Peaceful thoughts

International Women's Day 2014

Hello My Friends! I hope your week was productive and you moved closer to your goals. Each day brings opportunity to make ourselves better and always within making ourselves better we are helping others make themselves better as well.

Tomorrow, March 8 is International Women's Day! It's already tomorrow somewhere so why not start early. I acknowledge all of the women throughout the world who have paved the way for those of us who benefit today. THANK YOU! I especially want to pay homage to the brave women who created the path for all of us today in America and I say ALL OF US because without their persistent actions both women and men would be experiencing a different America. I THANK YOU!

I wanted to share this video by Justin Laurie that shows the timeline of how far as a nation we have come on women's issues and of course brings to light how far we still must travel. This documentary sheds light on the early pioneers who truly placed themselves in harms way to make certain that generations of women they would never know would benefit from their bravery and foresight. From these beginnings; an international movement was created and today more women than ever are free and those still living their lives under an antiquated mindset are taking small steps to free future generations within their countries.

I am so grateful and appreciative to have benefited from the thousands of women who placed the bricks where my feet can walk easier. I THANK YOU. You will never know my name, however, it's because of you that I walk taller, quicker and with peace of mind on the road that you created. The road you built is larger and with so many lanes that you would be astonished as it is greater than you ever imagined. Your small and courageous steps are not forgotten and again WE ALL THANK YOU! Happy International Women's Day my friends!

Until the next time,

Peaceful thoughts,

Remembering My Mother 1929-2011

Hello My Friends. Hope all is well with you and your week was productive.

Today is my Mother's birthday. I miss her so very much. Hazel Marie Duff Reed. She felt great pride using her maiden name and her married name. She did this without any fanfare and long before it was a popular thing to do. As with her style, she did it quietly and never explained to anyone the reason why. She carried her family name and her marriage name with pride.

I could fill an entire library of the reasons she was so very important to me. Also, I know there would be a long line of others who would want to contribute their reasons as well. However, if you knew her, you know she would wonder what all the fuss was about.

My Mother loved children. I thought it appropriate on her birthday that a child sing one of her favorite songs "Amazing Grace." This rendition is by Rhema Marvanne and is so sweet. Please enjoy this video and if your Mother is still with you...Give her a hug!

Until the next,

Peaceful thoughts,
-Dorothea

Hold On!

Hello My Friends! Hope your New Year is off to a marvelous start and you have planned your work so that you may work your plan. This is our new beginning and we have the opportunity to make of 2014 what we choose. We have the primary tool which is ready and waiting for us to command and that is our minds.

Our mind is ours. It is the one thing that is under our full direction and it is up to us to use it to the very best of our ability. It's not an easy task controlling our minds. As a matter of fact it can be downright hard at times to keep our minds focused on what we are commanding, especially when our experiences seem opposite. From my own experience; I can say, this is the time we must "hold tight to what we WANT TO EXPERIENCE and NOT ALLOW the current experience to DISMAY us.

This is the moment where the worlds "seem to collide." HOLD ON! Yes, I know its challenging! HOLD ON! Yes, I know its hard! HOLD ON! Yes, I know your tears are flowing! HOLD ON! Yes, I know you're tired! HOLD ON!

It will BREAK! We will experience what WE BELIEVE! However, this is our TEST to see if we will give in and walk away. Whatever you do, PLEASE HOLD ON!!!

Until the next time,

Peaceful thoughts,
-Dorothea
