My cousin recently mailed me copies of some DVDs that contained footage from films that her father had taken over the years.
Almost everyone in the DVDs had passed on and a lot of the footage contained my uncle’s in-laws and friends – people that I no longer remembered or never knew.
So over the weekend I edited the films down to just one DVD to pass on to my own children and grandchildren. The edited DVD contains my grandparents, parents and family.
Within the edited footage, I added freeze frames with text about the family tree connections and who the people in the scenes were so that my grandchildren would hopefully value the film.
As I looked at footage of my parents when they were newly married, of my grandparents still young, of weddings, picnics, vacations and holidays – I thought of how the films always showed them all smiling, happy and celebrating life. But was that how it really was?

How badly to do you want what you say you want?
I had a friend tell me about something that she wanted that had still not come to fruition.
“Have you considered whether or not you really want it?” I asked her.
Often when we don’t get what we wish for, we find that deep inside we either don’t really want it, or aren’t willing to do what it takes to achieve it.

Beware the Voice of The Trickster

Even if that person has moved on or passed on, their “voice” may be governing your life based on what you think they think you should do or be.

Tapping into the Stream of Consciousness
I awoke this morning thinking about Albert Payson Terhune.
I often imagine tapping into the Creative Intuitive Stream as I write — that stream he had tapped so well. I’d imagine what it must have been like to live and write at Sunnybank… a beautiful home with a large veranda, a gazebo overlooking Pompton Lake – collies running in the yard. Just lovely –and a writer’s dream home.
But in addition to this ideal setting – what was it about Terhune that helped him create so many wonderful books? Whether consciously or not – he was tapping into a Stream of creative consciousness.

Are You Headed Towards Your Highest Path and Purpose?
Last night I had a dream in which I was given a free pass to fly anywhere I’d like to go.
In the dream, I went to see a Travel agent who looked like the actress Marg Helgenberger on the CSI television show.
She showed me a large wall map and said, “Where do you want to go?”
“I don’t know,” I said.
She peered at me and I felt flustered.

If God is all there is – everything – then isn’t God (the I Am, Creative Source, Consciousness, Vital Energy) also money?
If God is the ocean – is God not also the $50.00 note?
Money has gotten a bad rap. Money is just a piece of paper. Money is just electronic 1s and 0s in your online account.
Money is energy. The same energy as a rock or a feather or the wind.
