Blood Moon

As I'm sure you all know, last night was a Blood Moon, Super Moon, Harvest Moon and full moon.  It was also a total lunar eclipse.  The eclipse itself was interesting to watch.  Now add the red, blood moon, amazing!

As I reflected about what I had just experienced, what struck me was how this event connected people.  My "facebook friends" were posting pictures and comments.  My nephew in Maryland, my niece in Illinois, my son and his girlfriend in California, friends in Honduras were all looking at the same event at the same time.  People all over the world were looking at the same moon at the exact same time.  World wide, we were All looking to the same sky.  We were ALL enjoying the same  celestial gift.  In spite of our perceived differences, for a magical moment in time, we were all united.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could do that all the time?  Wouldn't it be like heaven on earth if we could all focus on the ways that we're alike instead of the ways we're different?  Is that even possible for us - the human race - to do?  I don't know the answer to that.  I just know that I'll alwasys treasure that wonderful, magical moment in time when we did.

Please!

The other evening as I was closing the curtains at dusk, I saw the most gorgeous sunset.  It took my breath away.  There were beautiful shades of color from pinks and peach to deep reds and oranges.  I stepped outside so I could see it better and just absorb the beauty.  As I was standing outside, I noticed several cars driving around and people just walking by.  I wondered if the even SAW this magnificient gift that was given freely for everyone to enjoy.  It appeared that they didn't see it.  That made me sad.  I know I must sound like a broken record, but I just want to remind everyone to PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE look around you each and every day.  There is so much beauty out there.  And it's free.  It doesn't matter if you are a billionare or don't have a penny in your pocket:  the beauty if for EVERYONE!  Please take time to see it, enjoy it, appreciate it, and be grateful for it.  I promise you, it will enrich your life.

Love,  Paula

Wayne Dyer

This past week the world lost a bright light, Wayne Dyer.  But did we really lose him?  I don't think so.  He lives on in his family, books, teachings and videos.  I was fortunate to have the opportunity to attend one of his seminars several years ago at Lily Dale, N. Y.  What an amazing day that was!

In his honor I would like to share 10 of his most inspiring quotes.  Enjoy!

1.  "Change the way you look at things and the things you look at change."

2.  "You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with."

3.  "When you have the choice between being right and being kind, just choose kind."

4.  "Practice being the kind of person you wish to attract."

5.  "Anything you really want you can achieve if you really go after it."

6.  "You cannot always control what goes on outside.  But you can always control what goes on inside."

7.  "If you believe it will work out, you'll see opportunities.  If you believe it won't work out, you'll see obsticles."

8.  "You have everything you need for complete peace and total happiness right now."

9.  "Circumstances do not make a man, they reveal him."

10. "You are not stuck where you are unless you decide to be."
