Enhancing the Lives of Others Requires Diligence

I have been blessed in business all of my adult life. Since the day I” survived” my first day as a student teacher many decades ago, I  learned quickly that we need to draw from our inner resources  to get through life’s challenges.I worked for the school system in two roles for 15 years and am thankful for so many lessons learned throughout those years.I credit the  great leaders and mentors I have had over my lifetime for contributing to the success I have enjoyed both as an employee  and as an entrepreneur for the past 30 years.

Being an entrepreneur came easy for me with a model of a father who was the consummate small business man.

I remember creating my first business at the age of 13.Now,looking back, I see how each business prepared me  for the next.

I have been blessed with being a mentor for many people starting their own businesses as well and have found that immensely gratifying.

What I realized recently however, is that when we choose to work closely with people,our internal reserves matter.

Working Together Matters

Ten days ago,while taking some time  away, and  expecting a call from one of my business partners,I received a text saying he had fallen off his bike while he was training for an upcoming hike with his son in Yellowstone Park.My first response was one of alarm, hoping he was alright and wondering how serious the injuries were.He is a boomer athlete ,yet  falls even  at our age  are  not to be taken lightly.

I held in mind gratitude for his safety and sent him and his family healing light .

I invest in people who are put on my path for a reason not just a season and he is one of those.So I went through my day but felt my energy going out to him .Not being able to communicate with him for days,I noticed my need to do something.

Whether or not he could read my texts, I sent them, prayers, I sent them , as did my family.

I remembered that when people agree to mentor one another or partner in business , they make  a commitment that requires not only a commitment of action, but a promise of mindfulness and care that is so much larger than what appears on the surface.

I know this is why I love my business.I get to invest in people’s lives on many levels, and receive from them in many ways as well.

I waited 10 days until he could receive a call.And while we did not address “business”, we connected by phone and I felt myself breathing easier.I  congratulate myself that I did not allow thoughts of fear and doubt to dominate these days.I am so grateful that he will totally recuperate and become even stronger from this incident.

Enhancing people’s lives by being “present” requires diligence of mind, body and spirit . I wouldn’t want it any other way, would you?

 

 

 

 

 

Opening to Divine Favor

I’ve been traveling this summer  making time for what matters, visiting family and friends.What follows is an experience that led me to acknowledge Divine Favor .May it inspire you to do the same.

Recently, in  preparation for the next chapters of our lives, my family and I had put our home on the market . Our realtor created a lovely portfolio showcasing our home.I brought that portfolio with me and shared it with those who wanted to see it.Our home shows like a palace,complete with  our salt water pool and  backyard lakes and veranda views.

I’ve been watching my response as people ‘ooo and aah” at what we call home,for while compared to some of their homes it is modest, to most it is extraordinary.I continually find myself saying “I’ve been Blessed”.I never want to take my good fortune for granted.

I always want to thank God for what is in my life, and recognize the power of Divine Favor.

Life has had its challenges, and those challenges have been my guide.. But lately, with discipline and practice I find myself affirming Divine Favor more than ever before.

I once remember  reading about “setpoints”.Setpoints are those  ”bars” that we set for ourselves as perceived  possible “limits”.  I think of  how I have had to counter the setpoints regarding wealth, especially after having been raised in a church which likened money to “the root of all evil”.

Today I am blessed to respond more to affirmative action and positive thinking, and I am careful to eliminate negative thoughts and fill that seeming void with “being still and knowing Divine Favor”.

This morning I read Joel Osteen’s blog about Divine Favor,it spoke of judgements others may have towards those who demonstrate financial success.I find my greatest work is in meeting and eliminating the  judgements I may still have towards myself.

My hope is that I will continue to influence lives with this knowing, as they in turn influence mine,And that we continue to influence others to experience the same.

I include a blessing video of  a great preacher, Joel Osteen. May you live in the conscious presence of Divine Favor daily!Receive a Blessing of Divine Favor by Joel Osteen

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Traveling with my mom

She’s 88 years young and sprite as they make them , that is despite the loss of the man she loved and was married to for 61 years, my dad.

As I said at their 6oth she was the living model of the part of their wedding vows “in sickness and in health”, as was he devoted until he passed and even then.

It is our annual trip back “home” where she lived until 10 years ago when she came to live with me.So now, reversing the order of things , I hold her hand as she maneuvers in and out of the wheelchair at the airport and walks onto the plane.

I came with my typical resistance of leaving home , my nest, and those I love there, including my family and fur baby.And of course, I grapple with the angst I feel when I leave my work.But then on a day like this I remember her years and as we room together, I see her reading her sports page-”go Yankees” she would say, and praying her novenas, in keeping with a long line of  female pray-ers in my lineage.

Our day at the airport was greuling what with needing to change planes and concourses, being “wheeled” there as I followed,initially to the wrong concourse and having to take a non air conditioned bus to get to the right one for our second leg of our flight.

I look at her and I wonder what life will be like when I am her age.I wonder who will care for me then.I am glad I am here to be that for her, a caregiver.I align myself with Spirit and remember we are never alone, and that assures me to live this moment well.And today as she rises to g0 to breakfast in our hotel, I marvel at the strength of her spirit and as my grandmother who lived until 102 years young would say,”thank God for good genes”!
