Today Do Something That Pleases You


I am so pleased to say that I have met yet another person in my life whom I like very much already.  Today I sent her the message "Today do something that pleases you".  It rolled out of my mouth as naturally as I am a writer and as naturally as I have been taught to motivate others.  I know that this message will be received by her at the very moment that she needs it.  The timing is not mine and I am not the giver of good, however the timing is Spirit's time and behind that timing is a force that I have nothing to do with other than the fact that I am the messenger.  I feel honored to be that person who shares the message.  I am happy to pass the message along.

Today and every day we must do something that pleases us.  I would also say that this thing that you do, whatever you decide to do to please yourself be something special to you in that moment.  Sometimes you have to sit in silence and think about what that special something is.  At other times it will come to you via another person. Whichever way it appears that doing what pleases us is not just healthy it may be the difference between living well and living in hell.

There are many things you can do to please yourself.  Cook a wonderful meal, buy some flowers for our bedroom, pray, take your children out camping or take a long walk in the forest preserve.  It is not as important what you do as just getting up and doing it when there are times when we want to hide out.  When there are times when we don't want to get out of bed because our heart is heavy around something or someone.  Start with doing one small thing that is meaningful to you and even if it does not seem to be meaningful at the moment.  It will surprise us that by putting one foot in front of the other may lead us to what pleases us and will be a loving act.

All of this might prompt you to think about what you will do today or tomorrow that pleases you.  Doing something that pleases you each day will become more and more important to maintaining your life in a healthy space.  Doing something each day that pleases you becomes more natural for you the longer you do it.  This prompts me to think about what I will do today that pleases me and I have some ideas already.  I wish all of you do what pleases you today and each day of your precious life.

A Seasoned Vs Old Person

Those of you who know me personally might be aware that I don't use the word "old".  I don't think that people should be referred to with a word like old and I believe that as we live longer lives we are wiser and that we can be looked upon as "seasoned".  For me the word seasoned means that we have lived a good life and that we have gone from one season to another experiencing life and the many ups and downs of it.  I don't see the word old as one that honors any human being for their acquisition of wisdom and the things they have been able to overcome.  I for one consider myself a seasoned man not an "old man". There are so many meanings to the word old but the one that I am not in agreement with is the connotation that older is less than and younger is more important.  Unfortunately we live in a world where youth is celebrated and seasoned people are looked down on.  The thought is that younger people are more attractive or that they are m...

Your Skirt Is Over Your Head

I am uncertain as to how many of my readers know what I mean about putting your skirt over your head.  All I know is that my sister once said it and I think I heard it in a movie once.  I do know that in the movie "Mermaids" Cher who played the mom had some great lines about being a woman and just having a good time with life.  In one of those what should be famous lines Cher's daughter played by Winnona Ryder says: "Don't you think yoiiu are too old for that dress?"to which Cher responds with: "Don't be silly Charlotte, a woman is never too old".  In another part there is a stunning young man waiting on their porch to welcome them to the country area where they moved and upon setting eyes on him Winnona Ryder who is Charlotte is mezmerized by him.  Cher suddenly turns around and says: "too bad your hell bent on becoming a nun".  To say that Cher truly pulls the dress over her head is really minimizing her role in this movie that I wo...

Visualize It, Manifest It.

Let me just excuse myself from the non-believers as I know you are out there and the mere idea of believing and then achieving seems silly.  If you are one of these people, you should stop reading now and simply not waste any time because if you don't believe in yourself then you will not understand how manifestation works.  This blog is not just about believing and then getting what you believe in but more importantly how to go from the thought of being your highest self to actually being your highest self. And so if you believe, even a little, keep going because this is about having what you want in life ether spiritually, emotionally or physically.  Here are some ways to get there: Setting Your Intention: The very first thing to do when you want to manifest something (joy, money, relationship) is to set your intention.  You can set your intention by speaking of what you want in a way that feels intentional. An intention can sound like this: My intention is ...
