The Greatest Gift

The holiday season is a time when we do a lot of giving and receiving. One gift I received was enjoying lunch out with Jane Foster. Jane had 22 malignant tumors on her liver when her surgeon closed her up in 1999 and told her he could not keep cutting on her. He said she […]

Kaleidoscope

Last evening I attended my brother-in-law’s wedding. He has been a care-giver for many years for the woman who is now his wife. The hospice spiritual care coordinator performed the ceremony. Theirs is not young love, and the decision for them to marry is not something everyone will understand, but it is precious none-the-less. When […]

The Voice of Assurance

Google Maps and 70×7

Tears were right on the surface for me today.

“I know where I was 51 years ago today! Happy birthday to our sweetest darling,” I sent email to our daughter.

“Thanks for keeping me!!!!!” she responded.

I quickly wrote back:

That made me cry….

You were not a planned pregnancy, […]

Divine Connections

Today, I will stop straining to know what I don’t know. To see what I can’t see. To understand what I don’t yet understand. I will trust that being is sufficient, And I will let go of my need to figure things out.

Affirmations: I do not know what is the truth for you. I know what is mine to know in each moment. I trust in my inner guidance to guide me to what is best for me. I easily forgive and release what is no longer the best for me. Betty Lue’s Loving Reminders
