Life on life’s terms means just staying present. In the moment. Connecting with your breath, your senses, your body. Breathing. Then, praying (or whatever it is you do to connect to your Inner Wisdom or your Highest Self) and doing the next right thing. And you can start loving yourself right now, just the way you are. Consider the lilies of the field… You may have to do it a hundred, even a thousand times a day–I know I do. But that’s the way it works!

I just learned from my congressman that today is a National Day of Service and Remembrance. I went to www.911dayofservice.org.  My commitment is to extra reaching out to those who need support…and to those who need to give service. We needed to be needed. We need to take as well as give. Most of us are better at giving than receiving. There has to be both. We nurture ourselves that we may have a good relationship with ourselves; and we are also thus strengthened to serve others. I think it was Rabbi Hillel who said, “If I am not for myself, who am I. If I am for myself only, what am I?”  Love you all madly! Stay safe. Don’t let the excesses hijack you. If they do, just reel it in again. That’s all there is!
