Daily Reminder # 615

Who would think that such a sweet face could be a
perverse torturer of sleeping humans.....

I'm in a good mood today. I think it's a hold over from the movie last night. Really do recommend it to everyone. It was rich in "feel-good-ness."  My mood is good despite the fact that Tara dedicated her morning to trying to get me out of bed.  She uses a combination of head butting, sneezing on me, squabbling with Angel, and turning the radio on to encourage me to rise. Alas, for her, I'm at least as stubborn as she is. Pressure tends to have a reverse effect on me. Try to push me into something and even if I already want to do it, I will resist with every fiber of my being. No doubt stems from a childhood in which I seldom got my own way in anything.  But I  ramble.  This evening the Universe guided me to a PBS (wasn't planning on watching anything intelligent) and Wayne Dyer's newest program. He's written a new book called WISHES FULLFILLED. I always find him inspiring and entertaining. He has a good sense of humor and a  kind of simple pragmatic way of talking about esoteric topics. I hadn't realized that he had been diagnosed with lukemia not long ago and went on a voyage of healing... Anyway, it was interesting and inspiring and rich in food for thought. One of the things I thought was very clever was he talked about the Biblical passage in which Moses asks God his name and God replies, "I AM THAT I AM." Dyer draws from this that whenever we use the phrase, "I AM," we are invoking god, so what we follow those words up with matters and that speaking in positive ways about yourself and how you are invokes those things into your life. He says it much better, though.  A number of his PBS programs are available on Netflix.  I'm going to share a video clip from one of his other programs here because he always makes me feel better and hopefully will inspire something in you as well.





and then I found this on PBS... and it's embed-able! Yippee!

Some things I'm grateful for today: (Items in red are pre-gratitude, an effort to invite abundance into my life, to recognize it when it comes my way and to receive it with love and gratitude and to let the Creative Forces of the Universe know that I'm open and ready to embrace as much as life is willing to offer me.)
