May we remember and be grateful for the gift of our lives and the gifts in our hearts…among them: compassion, joy, and beauty — Charlene Costanzo
When I read this from Charlene today, I realized that God did not have to give us life — but He did anyway — and now that we have this gift, we get to figure out what to do with it??? Mark

Dear Garrett, my friend, Mike Dooley, who writes on behalf of “The Universe” sent this note out recently. I took his note and fashioned it to send this thought to you:
“When our Spirits arrive here on Earth, having been drawn from the ether of space as expansion products of God, we arrive here as pioneers into illusion, adventurers into the unknown, and lifters of veils.
By coming here, we are deemed courageous, heroic, and exalted by legions in the unseen.
In coming to Earth, we live our lives giving beyond reason, caring beyond hope, and loving without limit; we reach, stretch, and dream, in spite of our fears.
These are the hallmarks of divinity – traits of the immortal – our badges of honor. Our unseen hosts remind us to wear them with gratitude and faith as great as what they feel for us.
In so living here, we will notice our light illuminating darkened paths and lifting broken spirits, as we go about our days pointing the path of lives heavenward.“
We witness many lives on our planet demonstrating great courage while simply living our daily lives. As we continue living here let’s keep up the courage to continue here while we are here and remember to, “Be not weary in well doing” as we do so.
“If you’re not afraid of losing, you’ve already won…”
