I have an embarrassing story to share, but it has a happy ending. Here goes.

I like to rescue glass pieces from thrift shops, paint them, and give them new life as art.  

A few days ago, I was in a Goodwill store and I found a pristine butter dish. I had it in my left hand as I used my right hand to reach for a wine glass on the second row of a high shelf.

Crash! I accidentally knocked over a martini glass which had been on the front row of the shelf. Glass rained down and shattered on the floor. Did I break one glass or more? No way to know.

I felt terrible! I couldn’t believe I had created such a mess.

A very nice guy came over and swept the glass off of the concrete floor. I apologized over and over for breaking the glass.

I looked at my hand. I still had the top half of the butter dish, but I only had half of the bottom tray. It must have been hit by the martini glass and joined it on its way to the floor. Wow.

I gave the remaining part of the bottom piece to the guy to throw in the trash.

I decided that the least I could do was purchase the top half of the butter dish for the full price.  

I got in line with my $2.99 butter dish top. When it was almost my turn with the cashier, an elderly woman who was paying for her items asked if that was the only piece I had. Yes, it was. She asked how much it cost. I explained that it was $2.99 for the butter dish top. I had broken the bottom -- yes that crash was mine. She proceeded to pay for my purchase!

This was so nice of her. So unexpected.

She left. I was flustered. I grabbed the receipt and followed her to the parking lot.

I yelled, “Excuse me!” She turned around and I thanked her for paying for my butter dish half. I said, “That was very kind of you. You were spreading a little love in the world and I appreciate that. I’ll spread some love too.” We hugged.

Very sweet moment. I felt the love. One person elevating the world. Thank you.

My mood changed from embarrassment over having broken the glass, to joy at the idea that someone would extend kindness to a stranger.

This incident reminded me of a few channeled messages I had recently heard about how we change the world, one little thing at a time.

One message advised us:

“Infinite possibilities lie within you. You may feel that your purpose is not as valued and needed as someone else because you have not created some new invention, something great and big. That is not true. The very space that you hold is different because you are in it.”

A second message:  

“When people talk about a purpose and a mission, everybody's looking for something grandiose. For the most part, that's not what of our lives are -- one big purpose of changing everybody's lives. That's not the way that most of us are. It's the little things that we encounter throughout our life that are part of our mission to change other people's lives, whether we know it or not.”

A third message (edited):

“Remember that the things that you have put out with so much love and so much good intention, do come back. They might not come back from the individuals that you have directed them to, but the open arms, the open extension and friendship that you have put out for years will come back to you. The love continues to filter, to flow, and to be, and will come back to you and yours with peace and tranquility in the pattern of your life.”

Then, I found a quarter in the street!

It was a good day.

The world news is always disturbing. I guess it wouldn’t be “news” if it wasn’t about something awful or shocking.

So, today, let’s look at something a little more optimistic. A little more magical. A little closer to home.

We are here for an adventure. We are here to experience the joy, and the trials, of physical life. One of the joys is our ability to create whatever we want. We can take a non-physical idea and turn it into a physical thing, like art, or a novel, or a scientific breakthrough. It’s easy to lay back and be discouraged by the state of the world we see on TV. But, there is more to life than the big picture of whatever makes the news. We are creative energy in a body.

Looking out my window, I see that my neighbor’s saguaro cactus is blooming! So pretty. Large white flowers high atop the peak.

Looking at my Facebook feed, I see birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations. People are celebrating milestones. The big, wide, world can be demoralizing, but our more-intimate family and community world can be enriching.

Now, I’m going to tell you a story that I’ve heard from two people. This is a reminder to look for the wonder in life (and death).

Two people told me about their sick, elderly mothers who had passed away. After the deaths, all they seemed to remember was the person being ill, going downhill, then slipping away. They remembered trying to help the person feel better, but not succeeding.

In one case, the deceased mother came to her son in a dream and flashed photographs of the good times they had experienced together. Scenes of parties, health and family. Or, maybe, they were just photos of her in a healthy, happy state. This slide show restored his ability to see his mother as the vibrant woman she had been in life.

The second person also had a dream. After a long illness, her mother had died. All she could think about was how sick her mother had been and how her mother had suffered. One night, her mother came to her in a dream, looking great and carrying a suitcase. Her mother said she was fine. All healed. Make-up on. Hair looked great. My friend asked where she was going, but I don’t think her mother answered. She was off on adventure to another world.

This dream reset the way my friend remembered her mother. After that dream, she was able to see her mother as healthy and vivacious. She never again thought of her mother as being sick.

Dreams. Sometimes they seem so important. Most of the time, we can’t make sense of them. Occasionally, they are life-changing.

My point? Look for a bit of beauty and wonder in your personal world. Whatever you focus on will expand.

Today, I am sharing five quotes from psychics regarding the importance of our attitude towards life. We continually receive messages that life is an adventure. It’s something to enjoy. Any path we take, is the right path for us. It’s all very reassuring. Here we go:

1) “On the greater scope, all paths lead to a higher knowing and a higher awareness. In your personal lives, not only is looking for the highest and best your answer, but also showing up every day from your highest and best so that your energy radiates to such a degree that it doesn’t matter what is, or is not, around you. Energy is transmuted and raised because of your presence, your loving energy, your being-ness. That is who and what you are, and what you bring to every situation. It is not what you do, it is who you are from your highest self.”

2) “Be grateful for this life, this opportunity to be here. It is a grand adventure, one that you should look at, smile, and say, “Yeah, what a ride.” Keep on keeping on. There are greater things to see over the next hill. Across the ocean. Everywhere you look, there is something new to see, something new to do. Look forward with enthusiasm. Attract to you whatever it is you wish to see or do. Play with it. Have fun with it. Make that the name of your game. A game, yes, a game of play. A game of joy. A game of life. You make it what you wish.

“Go forth, roll with the flow, the ups and downs. Those are just the waves in the ocean. It’s natural. They come and go. If they were flat all the time, it would get boring. Look for the wave to stir you up, to surf upon, to see how well you can ride that wave. A big smile on your face. See what good you can bring from it. Something good can come out of every situation.”

3) “Keep your thoughts focused on your goals. On the positive. With determination to get there. You won’t let anything step in your way. You will get it done, whatever it is you wish to do. You will get there. What is it you wish to manifest? Divinely perfected bodies? Of course. Grand adventures? Of course. Toys to play with? Why not? The more the merrier.

“Share this love, this joy. Set the tone of joy and laughter. Allow that to revolve into your world, helping to raise not only your vibration, but that of everyone around you. What a blessing that is to give. That is your gift to give. That brings great joy to your heart. Allows more to flow in and flow out. You are in the flow.”

4) “Some of you feel that you have literally been on a roller coaster of life. You have had your ups, you have had your downs. Some have been too high and some have been too low. Know that you would not have missed it for anything. The road has a way of balancing out. What goes up, must come down, and it is all okay. It is the ride of life. Yes, it is true that there is a balancing. For those who were not so nurtured, you will have your nurturing. For those of you who have had plenty of nurturing, you will be in the position to nurture others. That is the flow. That is the gift. That is the blessing. Now, what it is that you wish to share and leave as a legacy to others?

5) “Your path is your path and it is perfect no matter what turn or branch you take.”

Enjoy your day.
