Breaking News!! It’s A New Day!!!  September 25th, 2024- Day 43- We are Called to be an Exponent of Our Own Lives-If Not Us Then Who Will Advocate for Us? Today is a day that “Great Spirit” has ordained for you life and soul expression.

Daily Mantra:

There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

Chat for the day: 

Well, this is something I don’t keep up with, but I realize this morning that I am not really a good exponent in my own life.  I have a real problem advocating for my own gifts and talents.  This goes back to childhood where I would be asked to sing solos in church and would feel sensitive that I was standing out and taking center stage over other people in our choir.  I was talented pianist but was reserved in performing because I felt like it was “showing off”!  I get this pattern of behavior from my parents because we were taught that humility of spirit was important.   Consequently, I guess I have hidden much of what my gifts are, and it has not served me well!  As I see other people share their gifts and find success in their efforts, I watch them advocate for their gifts with ease.  It is a sense of confidence that astounds me.  Each of us have to step out of our comfort zone and be our own big time “Exponent”- “Advocate” in our life so that our gifts shine out with the brilliance that vibrates our soul expression.  The world needs what each of us has to offer.

 As it says in Matthew 5:14-16-

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”  This verse emphasizes the idea that we should not hide our talents, gifts, or good deeds but instead use them to benefit others and bring glory to God.  So today, let’s dust the cobwebs off our talents and gifts so that the light that exist within beams out into the universe and radiates into the flame of our humanity.  Let’s live our purpose with the confidence to “advocate for our highest good” and the fulfillment of our “Divine Purpose”. 

Speak up for yourself!  Invest in your gifts! Share your gifts!

Tiny Tips for Moms and Dads #68 If You See Your Being a Parent as an Act of Having to Sacrifice, You have Missed the Gift and Lost Your Opportunity to Become the Fullness of Who You Have the Potential of Evolving to-

Parenting is by no means not a lot of hard work, but the rewards you receive from that eternal relationship out weights anything else you could invest in.  If you are so endowed, realize you have been given a “Gift”!

As a parent, I must embrace the gift of parenthood and the responsibilities of this role in my child’s life.  It is a lifelong journey in which there will be opportunities for me to build a loving and respectful relationship with my child.  Every day is a day which presents new challenges and new growth. I feel that this poem describes my feelings of being given the gift of “parenthood”.

I Realize

I realize I’ve been given the gift to be your parent and as your parent I realize this is a lifetime commitment.

I realize this means I have the responsibility to be your lifetime earthly ‘Spirit Guide”.

I realize you are a gift given to me great intention and you and I are connected by design.

I realize you are expecting me to take my responsibility seriously and understand I cannot be your friend and “Spirit Guide” at the same time.

I realize you are expecting me to love you, guide you, support you, and discipline you, with consistency and continuity.  I realize I must follow through with what I proclaim to be truth, justice, integrity, and genuine love for you, so you will ultimately develop your own sense a conscious and values.

I realize I must be very intentional in spending time with you, praying with you, playing with you, laughing with you, crying with you, listening to you, and problem solving with you.

I realize I have a responsibility to provide for you- to make sure you have all the resources and experiences you need to be a whole, healthy, happy and confident human being.

I realize you are not me and I am not you and as your “Spirit Guide” I have a responsibility to observe you and discover who you are and what “Great Spirit” has ordained you to contribute to society so I can support you on your journey to “Greatness”.

I realize you came here knowing who you are and what you must do and if I honor and respect you and if I demand that others do the same, you will blossom into your full expression of beauty and this world will be a better place because of you.

I realize I have a responsibility to be all I can be so you will know I expect you to do the same.

I realize our love for each other will last beyond this lifetime and the next and what we build with each other today will last forever. 

I realize you are my gift, and I am yours.
