Could you use . . .

a mental rest
a relaxed body
a breathing space
a clearer mind
smoothing out of emotions
a wiser way
a grateful heart?

I know I could!!!

So, to be perfectly honest with you, I am not peaceful at this moment.
Thus, I am calling out to all of you for help.
How can you help me? How can we help one another?

I was hoping today was going to be a day in which I experienced some of these very possible things anyone can experience in the list above.

My day began great! Woke up earlier than usual and couldn’t get back to sleep so I decided to go for a walk before the St. Louis July heat set in. Good decision! I congratulate myself for following INspiration on that one. 

After breakfast and getting laundry going, I decided to have some morning quiet time which has become a rare event because I usually work instead! Poor decision. Not following INspiration who simply is calling me to rest. But today I truly do stop. Good decision!

Next, I wrote a post that felt truly guided by inner Wisdom, but then I let my peace of mind be destroyed. The story isn’t worth passing along. Though I will say that I was forcing myself to NOT follow the inner Wisdom I received. That will destroy your peace! I can’t, at this moment, seem to get past my lack of peace. And, as I teach in Pause, I will not repress my lack of peace or spew it all over someone else.

Rather, I will go within to this light that sparkles brighter than any fireworks ever could to receive help,

AND

I will go to others, like you, to ask for help from
your inner light. 
together we can pause ~
together we can get out of our own way ~
together we can open the door for the TRULY HELPFUL Fireworks, ~
the inner light and love we all carry and share ~
together we can follow thIS light and love, so that ~
together we can be the light and love FOR one another and
be the light and love FOR the world ~

I can’t do this alone, none of us can,
nor are we supposed to do it alone.
Why else would we all be here? 

Taking a few moments to go through this
Pause for Peace of Mind Practice below
can help all of us, because it
can shine a light from within each ONE of us
all over ONE another and all across this world we share.

Peace be with you, You are the light FOR the world,

Mary . . . and thank you FOR HELPING.

HOPE YOU ENJOY TODAY’S HAPPY 4TH OF JULY PAUSE!
