WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?

“You cannot do kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson

We may not always know it, but the things we say and do leave footprints on the souls of others. I saw a poster that said,  "You may not think that the kindess shared makes any difference, but to someone else it may have made  a world of difference."

Interesting thought, positive or negative words and actions make a difference.  Would you rather leave kind and loving footprints on the soul of another, or do you want to stomp on someone and leave painful memories? I am sure that most of us remember a special kindness that someone shared with us, and sadly enough those words that were said in an angry voice.

Remember to be mindful of what you say and do as you go throught your day.

"What we are sending out, we are getting back."

What is something that someone has said or done for you that  still remains in your heart?

Love and light,

Sandy Smith,

 WHY WORRY?                                          "Worry is the dark room where negatives are developed."                                                                 Raymond Charles Barker,      -- The Power of Decision Oh that hamster wheel late at night, just spinning with all of the things that happened yesterday, and the things on your calendar that you still need to accomplish. Will the wheel never stop? How do you dismount from the wheel?  I have discovered that worrying about the past is pointless. If it was an accident, I cannot undo what happened. I may think of it as a learning experience as to what I might do the next time to avoid an accident. As to the future, it hasn't happene...

 BE KIND TO YOURSELF "Things always get better. When you believe this, it becomes true. In the same way as you don't believe it doesn't get better, it doesn't get better."   Sandra Lindsey Smith, -- "Life's Garden Grows" Have you ever noticed how readily we rush to forgive other people for the minute, negative observations they say about themselves, but it is much more difficult for you to forgive yourself for the very same tiny thing you say about yourself? All the, "I AMs" that come out of our mouths are packed with the potential to show up in our lives exactly as they spring from our mouths. So, no: "I am so stupid"; "I can't get my hair to look right; or, "why do I even go in for this job interview, I can never express myself well under pressure" NO! Those are not the, "I AMs" that you want to spring from the depth of your soul. Instead, "I could have done that a different way", "...

  RELAX INTO THE FLOW "A good diet, refraining from excessive desires, and daily meditation all lead to peace of mind, and this peace of mind is beneficial."     Little Book of Inner Peace,    --The Dalai Lama What happens when a person is caught in a rip current in the ocean? A lifeguard would tell you to swim parallel to the shore and that would break the hold of the current. When panic sets in it is sometimes very difficult to remember that idea of relaxing enough to swim parallel to the shore. Isn't that true about the challenges that we go through in life? We get caught in the idea of events becoming more than we can handle. When it occurs to us, that  Spirit surrounds us, moves in, through, and as us, we can remember to relax into that Divine Presence, and a shift happens. It allows us to respond, rather than react to the situation. There are many times that I have been so focused on the problem, that it takes me a little time to say, "God...
