the universal language
When we learn to accept one another, with all our differences and variations of the human spirit, then we will see how “alike” and wonderful we are as a race of red-blooded People!
After all, it doesn’t matter what color you Are, as long as your blood is red!
Sound familiar?
So, what to do? Get angry? Cry? Scream? May I make a suggestion?
I disappear into the bathroom with my smartphone, log onto a shopping website and fantasize about a beautiful, glowing blue Chakra strand bracelet on my arm, while I’m sitting at my favorite Café, drinking my favorite drink…with my favorite friends!
Lucky for me, I actually have a Lapis Lazuli crystal sitting on the bathroom window-ledge, I turn-on the water & by the way, the sound of running water sounds “mighty” soothing!
Inhale, exhale, relax. Open your eyes, come out of your loneliness, & laugh with the children!

Some things, I just cannot handle! Take these heavy cares off of me… They are Yours, Lord.
Help me now! And I see You working. Thank You!
Early church tradition affirms that apostle Peter was the author of this letter, First Peter.
Indeed, the purpose of this letter was not to provide a record of the life of Christ, but instead, Peter was encouraging Christians with the comforting spiritual realities behind the persecution they faced.
Peter wanted to emphasize — JESUS, THE OVERSEER & CHIEF SHEPHERD — of all Christians, and when He appears, those who have a relationship with Him will, also, be glorified.
7 casting all your care [anxiety] upon him, because he [“Chief Shepherd”]
cares for you. https://youtu.be/qkOFKPJQ6a8
13 Peace to you all, who are in Christ Jesus. Amen.
I encourage you —
…to memorize Philippians 4:6-7.
“In nothing be anxious;
but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.”
That word…Entreat, appeal, beg, petition, beseech, plead, invocation, request, solicit, urge, pray!!
And the peace of God, [there’s nothing like it; you can’t buy it!]
which passeth all understanding,
• shall guard ..shall keep…
• … your hearts (Yes, your heart hurts, but only for a while),
• and your mind & your thoughts, (You’re preoccupied with the heartache, but only for awhile),
enjoying life…smiling and sharing more love…in Christ Jesus.”

Life is a congregation of choices & decisions.
What will you choose today?
When my strength is just not enough, I’ve got a Friend Who will never stop fighting for me!
Take a minute to just breathe & relax.
Concentrate on a soothing, glowing, warm light radiating from your heart out into the world, then that same light returning again to your heart!
You deserve the best life has to offer. So, simply accept the gift of a better life, claim it, & act as though you are the Receiver of the Best of Life! 
There’s a simple way to overcoming fear of singing in public, and using a microphone to amplify your Vocal Gift!
This is what happened to me…
Time: 1968
Place: New Orleans, LA
Sitting in the back row of the choir, one day, I began to daydream about being in front of the microphone, singing to a crowd.
I listened and enjoyed the soloist, as she led the choir in rehearsal, and looked forward to Sunday morning, when we’d all get to “show-off” our talents!
After rehearsal, I went home, went into my bedroom, closed the door, and stood in front of the mirror, holding my hair brush as though it were a microphone. Then I got an idea…
I chose my favorite album, put it on the Hi-Fi,
…and when the music began, I resumed my place in front of the mirror, holding my hair brush, and singing my heart out! No fear. No worries, or cares about how I sounded. Just free, carefree, joyous singing.
Before long, the bedroom door opened. Only, I didn’t hear it, nor did I hear anyone enter the room. Instead, I continued to sing, as my intruder took a quiet seat on the side of my bed.
When the song ended, I heard, “That was lovely.” 
I turned in surprise, and all I could manage to say was, “Mama!” I don’t know if I was embarrassed, or just annoyed.
But after hiding for so long, the very thing I wanted to share,
…here’s what I discovered.
…the power of belief works to attract into our reality, those things that we think about!
(Remember, I had been daydreaming about singing in front of others, without fear or hesitation!)
“What things so ever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” Saint Mark 11:24
Do you Have a deep desire?
Try God. Believe. Pray….Be Grateful. Then…
Do this:
If you truly believe that you have already received the thing you desire, your actions will reflect it. (This rule, actually, refers to everything! That’s how the Law of Attraction works!)
Think it, Do it, & Have it!
