The Perfect Gift

December 19, 2022

It’s About Peace, My Friend.

Much of the world is lost in wanting as well as creating conflict over what they perceive they don’t have.

However, you can be a bringer of peace.

Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me and you.

When you feel anxiety, ask yourself what you’re wanting.

The perfect gift? You’re more likely to find it if you’re relaxed.

Getting the house in order or landing a business deal? If you’re feeling good, you’ll spread holiday cheer to your guests or clients – and they’ll feel better around you.

Want more business or money? When you’re emotionally calm, you’re more receptive to ideas that will bring you both. Or they’ll be drawn to you like Santa Claus to cookies.

Choose peace over:

  • Wanting approval and love from others.
  • Wanting things to be a certain way so you’ll feel safe.
  • Trying to get power by controlling stuff that’s out of your control.

When you recognize that you have ALL of these  –  approval, safety, and control  –  within you now, there’s no need to chase after them.

Imagine the peace you can feel when you:

  • Let go of people pleasing as well as wanting approval and love from others. You’ll be more able to discover that you already have approval and love within you. It’s an inside job.
  • Let go of wanting to feel safe and secure so you can realize you already are. No amount of money, nothing, and noone can make you feel safe if you don’t allow yourself to feel secure within yourself.
  • Let go of the need to defend and explain yourself. Take action to take care of yourself, and observe that fearful, inner ranting gets in the way of effectiveness. 
  • Let go of wanting to control others and situations. Nobody can give you power because you are already empowerd from within. 

Make peace your highest priority, and experience greater success.

Don’t take my word for it. Test it out for yourself.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, a Blessed Kwanzaa, and a wonderful holiday season to you!

May peace be unto you, my friend.

THE PERFECT GIFT:  being and sharing peace. And you don’t have to be perfect to share the perfect gift.


With gratitude,

Virginia

You Know More Than You Think You Do… A 2-minute read with a message from Dr. Spock

November 2, 2020

You’re programmed for low self-esteem and to give away your power.

Not just you. Everyone’s brainwashed living in their own hypnotic trance.

Part of the gig on earth is to snap out of it.

It starts innocently enough with directives like “draw inside the lines.”

We obediently follow to fit in. That’s the hook. Fit in to survive. I mean, how else can a little kid make it in this world without going along with family and society’s customs – even if they’re wacky and don’t make sense?

Here’s a popular one: “When you’re under my roof, you’ll do what I say.” Then, somehow miraculously, when you move out you turn on a switch and think for yourself.

More likely, the programmed voice in your head continues until you realize it’s an old recording.

Then you begin to see that you’ve been wanting others’ approval and someone to tell you what to do so you won’t make a mistake.

Myths start early. Do you know anyone who stepped on a sidewalk crack and broke their mother’s back?

Step back from your emotions, opinions, the way you’ve always seen things, knee jerk reactions, fear, anger, stress, anxiety, and worry.

Instead of responding to old, recorded messages in your brain that say you’re not good enough, listen to your heart and gut. Those whispers will never put you down.

In the words of Dr. Benjamin Spock,
“Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.”
