The words of Patrick Henry: “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!”

Is our physical comfort so important that we ignore, compromise, or neglect or spiritual needs?  Do we even have a clear picture of the needs for our soul?

We are told in our operators manual that our appetites will be satisfied if we ‘hunger and thirst’ for those things that are right.  If our life plan is to search for the Truth our Master Teacher promises that if we, “…..live [his] teachings  [we] will know the truth and it will set [us] free.”  Pretty exciting stuff.

Dr. P. Blosser has some interesting starting points.

“These inner hungers must be fed through a …person’s life. Adults have a deep and joyous responsibility to feed the souls of those around them.  [We need to live  by structure and order, [have] focus and a vision, expand our soul awareness, create/give consciously, practice mindful reflection and contemplation. When [our lives are lived in this consciousness we] will reach for fulfillment and [our] souls will be fed, producing much happiness and well-being….”

Dr. Pamela Blosser has dedicated her life to teaching in a variety of fields from camp counselor to English as a second language to meditation. In 1977 she graduated with honors from the Montessori Training Center in England. Dr. Blosser presently  is a faculty member and director of the College Preparatory Camp for children.

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn’t seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.”  Anne Lindbergh

Tis the privilege of friendship to talk nonsense, and have her nonsense respected.”  Charles Lamb

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”  Movie Quote

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.”   (and to knowledge add wisdom)

The thought was shared that we might need to ‘transcend the “need” to transcend’.

The oil of Highest Potential is what I’ll use to go deeper with this thought.

It is a good place to be.  We either got here by random acts or planned acts or a bit of both.  Enjoy being here.  See what is the best to see as in the next moment you won’t be here but there.

I love looking at how differently I do life from decade to decade to decade to decade (nope I am not in my 8′s).  Some call it maturity.  Others just say, “I am getting old.”  No longer do I want to dance until the sun comes up or be with crowds of people all the time.  Now I enjoy quiet conversations with friends.  The moments of introspection that give depth to my ‘walk to God.’

I like that I have evolved into this person.  A person who assesses with honesty my value to God and society.  A person who is kind to myself so that I can be kind to others.  A person who knows that living in the moment is the only way to have true gratitude.

I believe the oil of Joy and Sacred Frankincense will enhance my depth of bliss.

Today I am going to let you know that I am glad you subscribe, Thank You.  I am glad for each of you I know personally, Thank You.  I am glad I am learning the blessings of gratitude on a deeper level.  It Is A Wonderful World when we color it with the rainbow of gratitude.

The oil of Gratitude has helped me be steady on my mission of acknowledging what I appreciate.  If you are doing the 2012 gratitude mission you have already written approximately 88.  It’s fun isn’t it??

A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

Don’t believe everything you think.

Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America?

When we have balance in our lives we are given the gift of serenity.  Living in the  moment.  Not reliving the  victories/failures of the past or projecting them onto the future gives us  this balance.

I’ll be using the oil of Present Time.

That is exactly what I did with this post and now I am scrambling.  OK today I will take a deep breath, acknowledge where I need to improve, accept I need to pick myself up and keep the momentum going.

Clarity oil will help me with my journey.

Do you find that to be true when you are doing something you don’t see the value in doing , you have no personal goal attached to the activity, or you just haven’t cared enough to do what it takes to make the task less arduous?
