Astrological Minutes —House 1

August 15th, 2009

The First house starts with the point known as the Ascendant. This is the Eastern Horizon of the chart. If you are looking at a circular astrology chart it is the middle point of the arc on the left hand side. At the time of a person’s birth there are a certain set of stars will be on this Eastern Horizon. This is also what is commonly referred to as the Rising Sign.  Even if the stars are not visible they are there at the exact time of our birth.
 

From an astrological standpoint, as a child is born and looks towards these stars or that sign this is his or her literal way of viewing the world. It is this perception on the world that colors everything he sees. This is his way of relating the environment and the way he receives feedback from that same environment. This is a fundamental and essential part of a human being and certainly a major part of the astrological picture of a person.

Many feel the Rising Sign is the most major day to day attribute we exhibit in the world.  However, the Sun and the Moon and other planets are also of fundamental impact. For example, a person with a Scorpio ascendant or Rising Sign may see a world filled potentially with danger. They may be slow to show their feelings,  yet their intensity and sexuality would be quite evident for all to see. Someone with a Sagittarian Ascendant may see the world as a big adventure -  lots to be done and  many challenges to overcome. Generally they would present themselves as positive and bright people.

The Ascendant is essence of the First House. Who am I and how do I relate to the world out there. The First House is a Fire House. Fire is concerned with inspiration and emergence of a new desire or idea. It is natively ruled by the sign of Aries and has many of its same characteristics. The First House is the “child” of the zodiac opening his eyes to a big world out there and is the start of the journey.


The First House is very much - me me me. It’s all about a person establishing their own nature and their individual needs. When a child is first born he has to have his needs met and there is no time for thought of anyone else. Literally speaking, a child clasps his hands together trying to grab what is out there before him.  Consider this, a person really can’t go out into the world and achieve until  his own fundamental needs have been met and his own self established.

In later posts,  we will see the opposite position on the horizon, the Descendant, which begins the Seventh House and is about how one person relates to another. A Person who has many planets in the First house generally tends to come across as quite up-front , what you see is what you get. Their focus in life tends to be around establishing their identity in the world.

The Ascendant and the First House also relate to other new beginnings. So, a person with many planets here will invest much of their energy on new projects and new adventures and will have a strong initiating quality about them. Planets close to the Ascendant and in the First House strongly influence one’s character.

For example, if Venus is in the First House, a person’s passion will be for discovering who they are and as a result, they could be very self absorbed. They may also possess a great deal of charm, beauty and grace. If Mars is in the First House, the person will likely come across aggressively and will have a tremendous energy to go out and achieve new things.

That’s all for now! More later.  I’m learning a lot…and find this fascinating! I hope you do too!!

Astrological Minutes….The Houses

July 31st, 2009

The Houses represent the areas of life where the energy of the planets and their signs are projected, as on to a screen, to manifest in our lives. There are twelve houses in all, paralleling the Twelve Zodiac signs. Each of the Houses corresponds to one of the signs.

By looking at the Houses where the planets lie, we can see which areas will be the focus of a subject’s life. This does not mean that nothing will happen if there are no planets in a house, it simply means that these areas are less emphasized. The houses indicate where the energy forces represented by a particular planet will manifest.

If you look at the journey around the Houses as a journey from beginnings to endings, Astrology begins to make sense. At the start of the First House is the Ascendant, at which time something emerges, this could be anything from an idea to a person. The person, entity or idea then travels around the houses gaining experience and momentum until it returns to its original position. At this point its energy is waning and ready for something new.

  1. The Ascendant and the First House is indicative of the emergence of something seemingly from nothing. It could be the birth of a baby, with all the hopes, dreams and innocence that come with it. Or…It could be something such as the birth of a new business, village, state or country or even the publication date for a new book.
  2. During the Second House this subject takes form and establishes itself.
  3. In the Third House the subject develops mind.
  4. In the Fourth House the subject establishes feelings.
  5. In the Fifth Houses the subject discovers and hones its unique talents and abilities in the world.
  6. In the Sixth House the subject’s focus turns outwards to serving the community where it exists. The point opposite the Ascendant is known as the Descendant and is where our subject encounters the “other side.” This is the time where feedback is received from the outside world.
  7. The Focus of the Seventh House is relationships.
  8. In the Eighth House transformation occurs via a deep encounter with another  and the effect of their  values on the subject.
  9. In the Ninth Houses the subject puts everything learned so far into a greater context and searches for an overall meaning to what it has experienced.
  10. In the Tenth House the subject stands out in the Public Arena often through their career.
  11. In the Eleventh House the subject becomes involved with groups and friends and shares ideals and visions.
  12. Finally in the Twelth house the subject withdraws and is ready for the twilight of life, retaining all memories and achievements.

OK…that’s enough for now….! Keep posted…As I dabble more….I’ll pay it forward!

Spirit Speaks…So What?

July 30th, 2009

Have you ever heard people say—”spirit told me this…” or “my guardian angel told me that”…? How about the responses…. ” SO WHAT.” “Are you crazy?” “What are you talking about?” “Big deal.” “What does it matter anyway?” “So.” So! What’s the big deal! WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL!!Well, I tell you –it is a big deal - a very big deal. Why? Before I begin to answer, let me ask you a question: Can you imagine the “sweet breath” of spirit spilling light into your soul? Or felt the soft gentle touch of an angel when you were frightened or alone? Have you ever cried out in pain, pleading for relief when suddenly you realize the agony is gone? If you can say yes to any of these, then you already know why it is such a big deal.

Life after life is a concept that is unbelievably foreign to many, many people. However, to the Spiritualist or Metaphysician, life after life is the light at the end of the road, the fulfillment of God’s promise of a kingdom existing beyond the physical world we experience day after day. It is a reality we can experience now, while still in this physical world. Think about it for a minute. Why would something as grand as the spirit of man simply terminate forever? Why should something as powerful and searching as the “mind” just cease? How could something as non-physical as the mind simply terminate? Is this our living link to the divine matrix of All That Is? Scientists tells us that matter does not cease to exist, it merely changes form. Is this true of thoughts? If the brain is a physical organ, then what is the mind?

For thousands and thousands of years man, in one form or another, has accepted “higher forms of life” …angels, deities, saints, etc. Many Catholics in the world accept visions and messages from the Blessed Mother Mary as fact. The Christian Bible speaks of Jesus appearing before and speaking with his disciples, after his crucifixion. If you recall, the Bible also tells us that Thomas had to touch the wounds of Jesus to be sure this truly was his master risen from the dead. Native American’s actively seek Great Spirit and personal spirit communication to enhance their earth walk with activities such as Vision Quests. The Buddhist actively seeks growth through communion with spirit via meditation. Then there are Hindu, and Polynesian, and Shinto belief systems of ancestor worship, based on the understanding that honoring one’s ancestors brings help, abundance, and the prospect of a better life—now.

I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture. All these people were looking for HELP to get through the life they walk in every day. Whether they could or could not hear, see, or speak to these “spirits” the fact is that they accepted that they COULD be heard and something GOOD would be brought to them. They accepted not only that spirit does speak, but also that spirit would actively participate in their lives.

When my Dad passed away, I never had the opportunity to say goodbye. I lived in Georgia and he lived in Connecticut. Not an unusual situation. It happens to lots of people. Life being life, one day I received the call that I dreaded in the dark recesses of my fears and I was grief stricken. He was gone and I never got to say “I love you” or “Thanks for being there whenever I needed you” or simply “goodbye.” After that call parts of my life died just as surely as my Dad had. With a child, husband and a job, stuffing my grief and sorrow somewhere deep inside so I could carry on with the business of life quickly was expected. That expectation had a very steep price.

Many times I woke up with a start in the middle of the night because I dreamt I saw my Dad standing next to my bed. I could feel his bright gray eyes looking at me. I thought I dreamt it. I did just dream it? Didn’t I? Each experience was so real it was painful. I wanted to cry…but couldn’t. I just stuffed those emotions deeper and deeper…and the price to renew that storage multiplied.

After years and years of this same “dream”…I had the ultimate experience…my father finally spoke to me…not in a dream…not in the dark…but in the light of day… I heard my Dad tell me it was ok…tell me he was ok……It was real. It wasn’t when I was half awake or half asleep. It wasn’t a dream or a vision. It was REAL. Can you imagine the emotion when he spoke to me and said, “Where is my daughter? Where is my Suzy? I know she is here. My Suzy, it’s ok, I’m ok.” And I could feel the rush of love from him. Really feel it. In a flash my life changed again….

From that point I began healing those old wounds of grief and loss and opening internal doors that I had kept so firmly locked for so many years. It’s funny. I always thought I was moving forward. Yet, for all those years I hadn’t been able to pursue two of my life’s passions—writing and sketching. My creative flow—well it had simply ceased, hidden behind one of those locked doors deep inside of me. Then with those few words, “My Suzy, it’s ok. I’m ok,” the floodgates opened! I was returning to synchronicity with the Universe I had allowed myself to doubt for so many years. Hearing my Dad reaching out to me from the world of spirit changed my life in a most beautiful way.

Again, I didn’t hear this in my head, or in a dream, and I wasn’t alone. I was visiting Camp Chesterfield with a couple of friends in the early 90’s. We decided to attend a public demonstration of mediumship in the cathedral. I was able to hear my Dad through the mediumship of one of the wonderful accomplished mediums at Camp Chesterfield in Indiana. Understand me. I was not the only one who heard my Dad.

Ah. Do you hear the rustle of doubt in your brain? Perhaps the objections of a discerning doubter? It is ok. I consider discernment of supreme importance. However, I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that I was hearing from my Dad….because he called me Suzy. No one else in the world called me Suzy. He never called me Donna or Donna Sue. It was always Suzy. The medium delivering the séance had never met me, and no one even knew my Dad’s pet name for me. It was one of those things I kept tucked away, deep in some recess of my heart.

I surely don’t want any misunderstandings about this incredible phenomena. The voice coming through the medium didn’t sound like my Dad. Actually, the medium was a woman. However, the personality was unmistakably my Dad. The Greek accent was my Dad. I felt my Dad’s energy as strong as if he had been sitting next to me.

I am a medium, which means I communicate with spirit, and my mother, who is now in spirit, was also a medium. Actually, I can’t remember when I didn’t see, hear, taste, or feel spirit. None of this process was unusual to me. I had discoursed with spirit guidance for years…for which I hold great gratitude. Yet, this simple natural function of hearing the living spirit of my Dad made a profound change in my life. That simple act is part of the reason I pursued the ministry and became publicly active with my ability to communicate with the world of spirit. Think about it - I knew about spirit communication, my belief system fostered spirit communication, spirit communication was an integral part of everyday life, so this was not a new concept or practice for me…I knew all these things…and yet, that one simple act of communication had changed the direction of my life!

Now to get back to my original point…

Once you have an experience with the loving spirit world, life changes in so many ways some subtle, and some not so subtle. For one thing, fear of death is just GONE. For another, your heart opens to a NEW level of love and understanding as you begin to realize that what you do does matter in the grand scheme of the Universe. New meaning and understanding appear in everyday things. Sounds really corny doesn’t it? But it’s true.

Now, does this happen overnight? It could. It might.

So you see, it does matter that we can see, hear, and feel spirit. It matters because that simple, natural process is a resource for living life; a resource available to anyone, a resource that is part of God’s plan and governed by Natural Law, a resource older than time. When you pray, aren’t you hoping that someone or something “hears” you? What do you expect in response?

We live in a world resplendent with resource, and to bring us this help…SPIRIT SPEAKS.

Are you listening?

Astrological Minutes….The Zodiac

July 26th, 2009

The term Zodiac denotes an annual cycle of twelve stations or “signs” along the ecliptic, the apparent path of the Sun across the heavens.  The Zodiac divides the ecliptic (see previous post) into twelve equal zones of celestial longitude. As such, the zodiac is a celestial coordinate system taking the ecliptic as the origin of latitude, and the position of the sun at vernal equinox as the origin of longitude.

Although the zodiac remains the basis of the ecliptic coordinate system in use in astronomy, the term and the names of the twelve signs are today mostly associated with horoscopic astrology.


 

Astrological signs represent twelve equal segments or divisions of the zodiac –the houses.  According to astrology, celestial phenomena reflect or govern human activity on the principle of “as above, so below”, so that the twelve signs are held to represent twelve basic personality types or characteristic modes of expression.


 

In Western and Indian astrology, the twelve signs are associated with constellations, while in Chinese astrology there is no connection with constellations, as it is simply the line of the equator that is divided into twelve equal segments.


 Western and Asian astrology emphasize space, and the movement of the sun, moon and planets in the sky as they pass through each of the zodiac signs. By contrast, Chinese astrology emphasizes time, with the zodiac operating on cycles of years, months, and hours of the day. The significance of the ascendant (rising sign) is a common feature of all three traditions. The ascendant is simply the zodiac sign that was rising (due to the rotation of the earth) on the eastern horizon at the exact moment of a person’s birth.

Astrological Assumptions

July 22nd, 2009

Astrology is such a fascinating science!  There is a whole wonderful language of numbers, beyond the language style we consciously use yet they are so intimately connected.  Look at the astrological  natal (birth) chart of Elvis Presley below for reference. There are circles, quadrants, pie slices, all kinds of geometry. This is just a place to begin. Don’t disavow it until you know enough about it to make that decision. That’s only rational…right? SO, let’s begin at the beginning.

There are 5 great circles represented in your astrological chart. The center of these circles is the earth, which of course is our perspective and focus. Anything other wouldn’t be meaningful to us as Earth inhabitants. Instersections with these circles mark points of reference on your astrological chart with other “heavenly bodies.” Let’s take a moment to learn about how it all begins.

 

 

 

 

Rational Horizon

Stand facing due south. Look outward past the tress, mountains, etc and visualize a point in space (the celestial sphere). From that fixed point imagine a line heading South around the earth  until it moves north and connects back with the fixed starting point. This is your Rational Horizon. On a Natal (Birth) Chart it respresents the rational horizon at the exact time of your birth at the specific location of your birth.

Meridian

Still facing south, look up, directly overhead into the celestial sphere, extending your vision out into space to a point you fix. This is called the Zenith. Visualize a  line moving from the Zenith from east to west, going around the earth, until it reaches a point directly opposite it (this is called the Nadir) and continuing around until it reaches its starting point, the Zenith. This circle divides the earth evenly into the two hemispheres represented in your chart. This is a line of longitude.

Prime Vertical 

Look out into space (celestial sphere) to your Zenith. Visualize a line moving east to west passing  behind the earth, past the Nadir until it reaches the starting point at the Zenith. Where this circle crosses the Rational Horizon it creates the quarters of the Rational  These are the 4 quarters represented on your chart.

Celestial Equator 

The Earth’s equator simply extended outward in space.

The Ecliptic 

This really doesn’t exist. This is the apparent path of the Sun’s journey around the Earth during the course of the year. The Sun moves in a wide path from the Tropic of Cancer to the Tropic of Capricorn moving in a motion much like a sine wave. Even though technically it doesn’t exist, is a very important reference for specific points in creating your chart.

  • Where the Ecliptic crosses  the horizon in the East is represented as the Ascendant on your chart. 
  • Where the Ecliptic crosses the Meridian in the South is represented as the Midheaven  (Medium Coeli) in your chart.
  • Where the Ecliptic crosses the horizon in the West is represented as the Descendant on your chart.
  • Where the Ecliptic crosses the  meridian opposite the Midheaven is represented as the IC (Immum Coeli) on your chart.
    • Immum Coeli is Latin for bottom of the sky.

FYI: The Ascendant is opposite the Descendant. The Midheaven is opposite the Immum Coeli (IC).

More Information:

Midheaven or Medium Coeli

According to modern astrologers, the Midheaven or Medium Coeli is the zenith of a path in the sky traced by the point of intersection between the ecliptic and the Meridian (a line of longitude) of a single terrestrial location. Although the actual point of intersection moves back towards the horizon (to the south in the northern hemisphere) with the Earth’s rotation, the Midheaven is fixed as the highest point in the horizon any planet can reach at that location

Ecliptic Plane or The Ecliptic

The ecliptic is the apparent path that the Sun traces out in the sky during the year. As it appears to move in the sky in relation to the stars, the apparent path aligns with the planets throughout the course of the year. More accurately, it is the intersection of a spherical surface, the celestial sphere, with the ecliptic plane, which is the geometric plane containing the mean orbit of the Earth around the Sun.

The Ecliptic Plane was so named because a Solar eclipse can only occur when the Moon crosses this plane. Its position changes over time, so must be accompanied by an epoch, usually defined as 1950.0 or 2000.0.The ecliptic plane and the celestial equator intersect each other in two diametrical imaginary points called the vernal and autumnal equinoxes.

The plane of the ecliptic and the plane of Earth’s orbit are the same, and are not fixed or constant. The plane can be disturbed by the gravitational attraction of other planets, thus changing the celestial ecliptic and the pole of the ecliptic. The latitude of the stars also change, as the plane of the ecliptic varies in degrees. Using both the plane of the ecliptic and the plane of the Earth’s equator, the positions of stars may be defined.

No matter the position of the plane of the ecliptic, the Earth’s axis is not perpendicular to it and is always inclined at the same angle to it.

Celestial Sphere

In astronomy and navigation, the celestial sphere is an imaginary rotating sphere of “gigantic radius”, concentric  with the Earth. All objects in the sky can be thought of as lying upon the sphere.

The Road Not Taken

July 16th, 2009

For the past many days one of my favorite poems has been running through my head….a bit here…and a bit there….The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost. If you haven’t read it…you just might enjoy it too. For me, this poem symbolizes my life because I have been at many crossroads in my life and often chose those paths grassy and wanting wear….and it has made all the difference in my life.

We all hit those points where we analyze our actions, our choices…and even fret about where we go next or even where we are headed now. At the moment I know I am moving in the right direction…and that I have peace. Do you?

What do you think it would take for you to feel peace? Would you make a change in your life if you knew for certain the change would bring you inner peace? What if you weren’t so certain? Would you still be interested?

Do changes in your life come about because things simply seem to happen and voila…your life has suddenly changed? Or have you instigated the changes? Are you happy? Unhappy? Have you taken responsibility for your life? What influenced you if you made changes?

What does peace mean to you? Have you ever thought about it?

How different is your life today than it was  two years ago? Last year? Six months ago? Yesterday? Why?

Time is funny…You can read a book and it has one meaning for you; read it again a few years later and it has a different meaning for you. Your life experience has changed in that time.

In spite of all those questions I just posed to you, don’t fret about choice. Inevitably you will have to make choices and inevitably some choices will be made for you by circumstance. The point is…you will never really know what your choices mean to your life until you have lived them!

So, don’t be fearful of change…just live it. Just as many people believe that the often quoted The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost is about being a non-conformist and encourages individuality..and on the surface it does…but the fact is from the author’s perspective and life……it really says you never truly know  what changes really mean in your life until you experience the results of those choices.  

So, stop worrying so much…accept the changes..and then live them…You just might be pleasantly surprised!!

I have been at many crossroads in my life and where I had choice I often chose those paths less often trodden by others….and it has made all the difference…I know that now…but I sure didn’t then!! Neither will you. 

The enjoyment of life is living it…not fretting about it! Get living!

Points to ponder….

June 2nd, 2009

Prayer has been in the forefront of my thoughts…..Interesting. It seems everyone has a different view of the role of prayer in one’s life…or… whether it should have a roll….or shouldn’t. 

Yet, when push comes to shove….and fearsome obstacles and situations appear smack in the middle of the road before us…..Praying for help seems to be our natural human response.

Ask five people what they think about prayer…and you may receive five different responses. Although the subject of prayer may come up….Did you ever stop to think about what prayer is? How to work with it? Why to work with it? Really. I mean have you ever thought about prayer when there wasn’t a dire situation facing you??? I don’t mean a casual thought. I mean those kind of discussions we run through our mind and talk to ourself. We do that trying to decide what kind of car to buy…Or deciding if we should even consider trying to take a  vacation… Or if we’re going to join that local gym. Why not have that kind of mental activity about something that can be such a tool for our development as members of the community of man?

Well..I’m not going to tell you what to think or feel about prayer…but I am going to give you some points to ponder….Points related to prayer. Points that hopefully help you on your own inner journey and spark those deep inner conversations with the spirit of who you are.

I can’t claim all these are original thoughts…but as loving thoughts received from my friends at Figueira in Brazil.

  • In prayer we become connected with the souce of Divine Love and radiate that love to others. 
  • In prayer we are able to enter the temple of knowledge that resides within our spirit.
  • To pray expands the heart so that infinite love will fit into it.
  • Through prayer we learn how the inner self works to guide our outer life.
  • Healing can be found in love and prayer.
  • To pray is to feel the inner self permeating us gently and allowing it to ignite us with its love.
  • We crross two doorways in the path of prayer: that of acceptance and that of love.

Much love to you all….

Why Does Love Seem To Disappear?

May 16th, 2009

Why does love seem to disappear? Were does it go when it leaves? Why does it leave?These are questions I have asked myself and spirit hundreds of times…for myself…for those I care about…and for clients.

The answer is generally the same….more questions! “What were you expecting? What did you expect love to be? Do you know what love really is?”

Those questions made, and always make, me think. Hmmm? What do I think love is? What is the experience of love for me? Hmmm…time to ponder 

For me it is peace. Love is peace. Love is that wonderful state of being that even when things may not be exactly as I envisioned…I still feel love. Not hurt because things have changed. Hurt doesn’t change love. Hurt changes how we experience love. Control changes how we experience love. Experience changes how we experience love. Love itself doesn’t change. Love isn’t a person or place. The ability to be loved is the greatest gift we receive…and the ability to love the greatest gift we offer.

According to the wisdom of MsTulip, one of my spirit guides, created my byline…
“Love is the light of Spirit. Spirit is the essence of Man.”

For me…love is that beautiful space within me that is full of light….it doesn’t judge, it dosen’t control or seek to control…it is kind…it is compassionate…and it simply always is if I choose to recognize it.. And for me..simply being..in that light of spirit…is peace.

So you see…..love doesn’t disappear. It doesn’t go away. It doesn’t leave. It is our illusion of love that disappears. Love never leaves us…for love  always resides within us…even if we are afraid to acknowledge it…even if we let life’s experiences block it. Love doesn’t go anywhere….it stays within waiting for us to let it shine again. For love is the gift of God.

So…..What is love to you?

Wishing you bright days,
Donna

Just thoughts…..

April 27th, 2009

I just returned from a week of teaching students interested in obtaining healing certifications, mediumship certifications and ordination at United Metaphysical Churches in Roanoke, VA.

The days were long…..starting in the very early am….and not concluding until around 9pm in the evening. Students had homework and studying. Insturctors had preparations for each day’s classes and mentoring for students. Yet…something special happened for everyone during this week. It may sound old hat or even cliche…but the confluence of spirit was something to behold. It made the days fly by!

I’m not saying that previous seminary weeks weren’t nice…but this one was different. For the first time in a long time I saw people put all the usual aside…and come together as friends and become a family.

People from all parts of the US  attend these weeks….Michigan, Indiana, North Carolina, Virginia, South Carolina, Washington DC, West Virginia, Florida…just to mention a few. Each one with a different background, a different association, a different familiar group, a different path….Yet, you would never have known that some of these people met for the first time this past week.

It was beautiful.

No differences existed. Each one respectful of the other. Everyone open to the loving energies. Each one eager to learn. Each one genuinely happy to be exactly where they were…and with each other. All of them creating ways to get together or stay in touch in the interim before the next Seminary Week.

Just as an aside….usually when volunteers are requested…well..a room can become instantly silent as each person tries to become as invisible as possible. Especially when they are being requested for clean-up duty! Not this group. More volunteers than needed generously appeared to help with the cleanup for each meal…three meals a day….for seventeen meals!

I kept thinking…how simple… how beautiful. These people have very different lives, very different backgrounds, very different life experiences….yet….they all melded into a harmonious group of loving, kind spirits. Their differences became the glue for bonding and acceptance. I saw lots of smiles and heard lots of laughter….even though the academic program is not an easy one. Without prompting or difficulty, they quite naturally found the common ground they all stood on…and  used it as the manna to nurture each day and each moment.

Old friendships were renewed…..and new ones created…New information was learned, new experiences created ready to be stored away as beautiful, happy memories…and new spiritual common ground spontaneously formed. Everyone excelled at their pursuit…fueled by the simple acceptance of love, honor and mutual respect.

This was so organic… I couldn’t help but be struck by it.  If it was so simple and natural ….why can’t this energy be created…anywhere?

The first minute of your new day…..

April 6th, 2009

Sometimes spirit whispers interesting things in my ears. Things I should give more time to. Things I should have thought of on my own….but didn’t. Tonight was just one of those times.

The conversation was simple…short…and sweet…”The first minute of your every day is the MOST important minute of the rest of your life…..What are you doing with yours???”

Then they were gone. 

Hmmmm. It made me think. Just what did I do with the first minute of my day…today? I couldn’t remember. I usually wake…excited because I am breathing and have another day and give thanks for the coming day. Today…I couldn’t remember exactly. What exactly did I do? Think? Say? Did I do anything? Would it have been a better day if I could remember? Did I lose a day I could have done something wonderful with?

I don’t know. But I will tell you this…..the words of spirit…are still ringing in my head…

What did you do with your first minute of the day? Do you remember??
