Your most authentic self is not who you currently are, but rather, who you desire to become. You are the author of your life’s narrative. You have power to determine the stages of life you will be on and the characters you will play.
Today is my birthday.
I have favorite days of the year. Thanksgiving - for the food and the sentiment behind the holiday. New Year’s Eve, a time for reflecting and looking forward. And my birthday, a time to say goodbye to who I was yesterday and to plan for a new and improved version of me for tomorrow.
Yesterday I wanted the world we live in to be a better place.
I wanted us to disconnect from everything and connect more with one another.
I wanted us to find a universal commonality that would show us we are all in this together.
I wanted to us to discover that the answer to longevity and health is not to focus on what is wrong with us and our world, but instead to envision the future and the life we want.
Yesterday I embraced the belief that change is as simple as a new idea going viral.
Yesterday I hoped everyone would grab ahold of an innovative concept, a new life design and take it to heart.
Yesterday I believed this new outlook, this conjecture would be a novelty, a miracle cure, and yet as old as dirt which had always been here, right under our noses. but just overlooked as insignificant.
Yesterday I wanted us to keep an eye on the prize. Not the problem. Because when you decide what you want, the universe conspires to make it happen.
Yesterday my aspiration was to help those who only saw guilt
and anger, and sadness remorse when they looked at their journey through their
past.Yesterday I wanted to show those who were in despair, believing their life was a stagnant pond, that if they continued on their path, they would be like the raindrop which believed it did not make a difference in the flood or in the drought. Where would we be then?
We are all connected.
Today, my birthday present to myself?
I am looking forward to tomorrow and engaging my newest improved plan in hopes of inspiring others to follow their star, connect with those unlikely others who will become the wind beneath their wings and to soar into their future in which they have envisioned.
Because we all know you go where your eyes go.
You may think it is difficult to plan for tomorrow during these life changing times. You ask, “How can we plan when we don’t know what tomorrow brings?’
Did any of us ever have a crystal ball? Could any of us see the big picture? No. We only thought we could. The illusion of being in control is just that, -- an illusion.
Self-distancing? Sure!

Did any of us ever have a crystal ball? Could any of us see the big picture? No. We only thought we could. The illusion of being in control is just that, -- an illusion.
Self-distancing? Sure!
But we can no longer distance ourselves from our problems and the struggles of others. We cannot sit back on our haunches and throw money at our degrading lifestyle and culture in order to fix it.
Money will not repair the world consciousness in which at this moment 80 % of the global population suffers from depression and stress. And that rate was rising at an alarming rate before COVID19 struck.
Neither can we continue to look to our government for solutions.
We must cease looking outside of ourselves for the answers.
We need to disconnect from the noise, be quiet and look within.
From the bottom of my heart, more than words can say it is my wish to save our planet. Overly ambitious? I think not.
We have been so focused on the tragedy of the COVID19 pandemic we have forgotten to see the heroes. Those who have succumbed to this devasting illness are our heroes! Their sacrifices have made way for a new enriched future.
Our skies are bluer our hearts are bigger, and our compassion is stronger. We are connected with one another.
We’ve been afraid far too long even before this virus came into being, but we are not born to be a fearful people. It was killing us.
And now look how far we have come!!
My plan for tomorrow? As only one raindrop, I hope to continue sprinkling inspiration and faith to convince you that anything is possible if you…..
Be still.
Go within
Listen
And believe that what you hear is your way.

And now look how far we have come!!
we are coming
together We are slowing down and going within for our solutions. Each of us is
listening to an answer that is unique only to us. We are coming together. We’re
believing in miracles, loving our heroes, and giving, not money but ourselves, our
time and our hearts in order to make someone’s life better.
My plan for tomorrow? As only one raindrop, I hope to continue sprinkling inspiration and faith to convince you that anything is possible if you…..
Be still.
Go within
