Whatever we focus on is bound to expand. Where we see the negative, we call forth more negative. And where we see the positive, we call forth more positive. Having loved and lost, I now love more passionately. Having won and lost, I now win more soberly. Having tasted the bitter, I now savor the sweet.

I tell my mother I went to God in spite of my religious education. I feel that my religious education was inadequate, but that doesn't mean that Judaism was inadequate.

You don't need a new life, just a new lens through which to view the one you have.

Everything we do is infused with the energy with which we do it.
Marianne Williamson
Image
A level of anxiety and tension and outright fear that so many people have felt, not only during the recession but during this slow economic recovery since. This made me very much want to up the conversation about how miracle-minded thinking applies to that area of life.

Ego says, Once everything falls into place, I'll feel peace. Spirit says, Find your peace, and then everything will fall into place.

Our barriers to love are rarely consciously chosen. They are our efforts to protect the places where the heart is bruised.
Marianne Williamson
Image
We must keep in mind that where the road is crooked, God makes it straight, and where our hearts are wounded, God makes us whole. As we open our hearts in purity and simplicity, admitting to God that we are completely powerless in the area of our problem, His illumination redeems us.
