(Note: The following affirmative statement is meant as a seed to be planted in our minds. May it sprout, grow, and eventually blossom into more and more good.) Deep within me resides a Goodwill Generator. This generator works 24 hours a day for the good in my life. The generator offers Good On Demand (G-O-D). My awareness of my G-O-D allows good to penetrate my world. Regardless of what I say or do, the G-O-D is working in my life. It is better for me to focus on my G-O-D than to worry about lack and negative future outcomes. I can either drag my problems around or I can hand them over to G-O-D. Not all things are good, but good comes from all, and as I surrender all, my life is renewed. Good is my advocate. The dynamic flow within constantly creates and manifests my highest good. I can relax, knowing that the all-sufficiency is abundantly supporting my life and my affairs. I focus my mind on my heart center. My heart is a light-filled miracle factory of abundantly good activity. I focus on that light as it penetrates my mind, body, and life. Due to a radical shift in perception, I am free to experience the dynamic flow of good in my life. So be it.
By Anita "Jo" Lenhart of [Note: I met Jo when I was the minister at
Connection Church in Memphis. She thought that we were a little
weird, but her attraction to the open and fun-loving spirit at
Connection kept her coming back. She eventually served as our
board president. Jo is one of the most talented women I've ever
met. She can sing, dance, drum, write, direct, and produce. Jo
is the true embodiment of creative expression. From the mental
to the physical, her dedication to life is immeasurable. Arise, shine, for thy Light has come! Let every cell dance, vibrate, and sing! The dance starts with Breath! When stuck in traffic, in a line at the store, in the waiting room, wherever – celebrate! It's a chance to do Conscious Breathing! Breathe and feel the internal dance of Joy in the million, trillion cells! Each one is a universe and, if fed with breath, they will dance for you and with you. There is no such thing as "wasted time," when you dance with the Spirit of Breath within you. (A simple pranayama: 6 counts in through the nose, hold 4, exhale 8 through the mouth. Be gentle.) When some people hear the word exercise, their eyes glaze over. People are busy; they're in a hurry. They know exercise is something they should do, but most people don't like to exercise. I like to reframe the idea of exercise to movement. When we move more, we are more flexible and healthier. Repetitive movement is not natural to our bodies. Exercise seems mechanistic – like trying to force my body into health. I try many different forms of movement as I go through the day. It's vital to your health to keep moving. Here are some easy things you can do to incorporate movement naturally into your daily life:
Try the Hand Jive for some movement, fun, and coordination training. I know it is repetitive movement, but it's a blast. Then teach it to your friends. Play together. When's the last time you played. When's the last time you did any of the five things you love to do the most? Just asking! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yj4UVp9aKl4 On January 16, 2013, the first Dear Abby columnist,
Pauline Phillips, commonly known as Abigail Van Buren, passed
away. Her work has been carried on by her daughter, Jeanne
Phillips, who is also known as Abigail Van Buren.

February 17 April 27 We will post a link when it is online. [Note: As I was reading Abby's obituary,
I thought, "I'd like to write an advice and answer column." The
same day I received an e-mail from my friend, who's also a
newsletter reader, with a question. I thought "Why not write
that column in my newsletter?" In the 1980's my friends called
me "Annie G." I always liked that name, so I'm bringing it back.
This following was written in response to the "I Am a
Coconut Nut" piece in the 1/29/2013 newsletter.] NOTE: Send your questions on life, health,
food, spirituality, and relationships to Annie
G. It's one thing to feel you are on the right path,
but another to think yours is the only path. Stand on your tiptoes at the edge of each moment.
Be steady. Stay present. This is life. Give up to grace. The ocean takes care of each wave
'til it gets to shore. |
