Inspiring Millions to Live Positive, Rewarding Lives, through lessons that nuture your Soul

Many of us use a saying that goes like this, “I (or You) must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed.”

What a bogus statement. There is no wrong side of the bed – there is a left side, a right side, a head, and a foot, but no wrong side.

Why do we use this term “wrong side” then? It’s really simple we are obviously referring to your mood so early on in the day. We automatically know that when someone says that to us they are basically saying, “Someone’s in a Bad Mood.”

Why on earth you would choose to be in a bad mood? Now, don’t tell me it’s not a choice and then litter me with excuses of why a bad mood is justifiable – you won’t win.

I’m a firm believer that every seemingly negative experience has a positive to it and by focusing on “the dirt and ruble” AKA the negative – you chose not to focus on the “gold nugget” AKA the positive.

So whose fault is that?

Alright, so you might be asking yourself, “How then can I start the day in a good mood?”

Here are a few tips:

1. Don’t go to bed with unresolved issues they’ll carry over to the morning

2. Use the Power of Intention to Create an Outlook for the day – reuse this if you must throughout the day to re-center

Okay, so you are now saying that first task is way too difficult right? STOP making excuses – NOTHING is difficult unless you allow it to be. So, not going to bed with unresolved issues is really simple to handle – here is how.

First, if it is due to an argument with a spouse,  friend, or relative – settle that conflict then. You don’t want to go to sleep with a bad conscience so make amends before you go to bed. Here are a few options to try…

1. “Look I know you are angry and upset with me, but that is not my intention and frankly we cannot see the situation clearly if we are looking from that perspective. I understand and appreciate ….”
2. “I hate it when we argue it does nothing productive for us. I hear that you are saying … am I correct or have I misunderstood something? Wow, it was not my intention to ….”
3. “I know you did the dishes last and I appreciate that. Look, why don’t we do them together. In fact, why don’t we try and prepare dinner together and follow up by doing the dishes that way we freed up time that we can use to spend together. How does that sound?”

I think you basically get the gist of what I’m saying here.

Don’t you think by starting off that way you will be able to successfully turn around the situation? The problem with an argument is both parties want to be right and are often blinded by their quest. The real purpose to a disagreement is to see how you handle both sides of the situation. Are you going to come from a place of love or fear? Is it really that important to be right? Can you both not be right?

When you are arguing with somewhat was is important to you besides being right?

1. A Desire to be heard?
2. To be Acknowledged?
3. To be Understood?
4. To be appreciated?
5. To be validated?

Perhaps, it’s one of those if not all of them. So why not use them; “I hear”, “I acknowledge that you feel”, “I understand”, “I appreciate …”, “I never thought of it that way…”

When we validate someone we are validating how they feel, their opinions, thoughts, point of view, etc. At this juncture you will most likely notice that something was misinterpreted or misunderstood. Now, you clarify, “That was not my intention…”

There is that word again – INTENTION.

So, let’s have a few examples to set the intention of the day;

1. “I am a Divine Spiritual Being fully enamored with the tools, knowledge, and know how to handle any situation that comes my way. I will see this  situation as a glorious experience that will enable me to come from a place of love and find the almighty nugget of gold.”
2. “I am a Spiritual Being who has called forth every experience that comes to me today. I am glorified in knowing that I have the CHOICE to handle even the “darkest” of moments in a positive way by lighting my torch of Divineness . I will illuminate the darkness to see the marvels it will reveal.”
3. “I am a Divine Spiritual Being and there isn’t one single obstacle that I cannot overcome. I’ll see hope instead of despair, flowers instead of garbage, success instead of failure, and so on. I am not separate from the Divine Source – I am a extension of it. Therefore, I am ready for all things.

I could probably write a book of those, but I hope you get the idea.

So without further adieu, set YOUR intention for this beautiful Saturday!

The blackened smoke filled sky seemed like a scene from, "Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince", before the Death Eaters arrived at Hogwarts or what would loom over Mordor in Lord of the Rings. You would certainly not expect to see this scene above New York City.
For me, the scene that captivated millions as they watched on TV, eluded me because my apartment was filling up with Spirits and quickly. While it was normal for many Spirits to come to my place of residence — I knew some tragedy befell them. There was something about there presence — many didn’t understand or know they were no longer among the living.
I listen as they spoke of their final moments and I kept hearing something about a plane crashing into a large building. One of the Spirits, spoke in a sullen voice and clarified that the building was the monumental, Twin Towers. I began to hear tales of men with guns and none of it made sense until much later.
However, one thing was certain, I needed to begin crossing these Spirits over. For, three days, I can recall crossing over scores of Spirits and I knew other Mediums were experiencing the same exact thing.
The echoes of the Spirits were:
"I didn’t get to say goodbye."
"I argued with (blank) before I boarded."
"My kids … "
There were so many more thoughts and words of expression that echoed within the walls of my apartment. Mothers, Fathers, Children too, all of them in Spirit.
I can remember crying as I worked with Spirit to cross them over. It wasn’t until later on the Night of September 11th, that I dared watch the video.
Then the Unthinkable happened — we declared WAR on "the unseen". We acted from a place of fear, anger, etc. and were blinded by thinking that a WAR would bring PEACE. You cannot get a PEACEFUL RESULT from an ACT OF VIOLENCE.
Look at the WAR … It’s still going on 8 years later. 8 years of blood, death, and carnage on both sides. Innocent people losing their lives in the PEACE EFFORT.
September 11th has become for many an excuse to kill…a reason to retaliate. Yet, what is happening is we are causing more pain and loss to millions of more families on both sides.
Do you believe that those souls who left this world on that date would want blood, carnage, and mountains of bodies in their name sake? I can tell you from working with Spirit my entire life and what I know about the Afterlife without a doubt — NO.
This is the furthest thing they would desire.
America was attacked that day because our EGO is so large that we think we are the best. We prance around singing high praises of our country, our military, etc. But in doing so, we have painted a large TARGET on our heads and the heads of our citizens.
I’m not saying that America isn’t great because it is. But, why do we need to boast our opinions of our Country? We have done this for centuries and what has it yielded us — PEACE?
Is peace wondering when the next terrorist attack is going to happen?
Is peace going through security checks at the Airport, Schools, etc?
Is peace having government monitoring our conversations, actions, etc?
When will we get it? When will we understand that by separating ourselves — seeing ourselves as better than — gains these results.
When one declares to have so much POWER what happens? Someone challenges it and frankly by reports we knew about the attacks before they happened. Seems to echo Pearl Harbor …
If we truly desire peace we must see likeness where we see differences, we must feel compassion where we feel range, we must forgive when we feel we cannot, etc. This is in essence putting the, LAW OF ONE, into effect.
In these times of, Shifting Consciousness, it’s more and more important to begin to understand that there is no separation between you or I, myself or another, etc.
When we truly get that — all violence will stop, crime will cease, etc.
