Harness Your Power: Share with Purpose

I find that the Universe brings the most unusual people onto my path to serve.  And, sometimes service comes in sharing the simplest things.  There is a girl I met in my neighborhood who has a small baby.  She needs food and encouragement.  As I've cooked this past week I made extra portions.  What joy this small offer of kindness and food brought to this young lady. 


I used to think that serving others meant doing big things.  But now, I am seeing that Mother Theresa was right -- it is small things done with great love that change our World.

I see that I can't take care of all the needs.  So I've been guided to investigate the many non-profit organizations in the area so that as people come into my life, I can connect them to the resources they need.  I am amazed at how many individuals and organizations care so deeply for the lives of others.  I am happy to be growing my network so that I can be part of sharing my time, energy and resources with purpose.

What small things are you being called to do for your family, friends and community?  You do have a calling.  Open your eyes this week and ask, "How can I serve?"  Be prepared.  You will be guided to simple ways to show love to others.  In doing this, you will receive so much joy in return.

Giving and receiving are truly the same thing!
In giving we receive.  In receiving we give the gift of accepting another person's desire to give.

With love for you as we share ourselves purposefully with the World,

Harness Your Power: Learn From the Animals and Birds

So many people around the World are experiencing challenging financial circumstances. Walking through financial difficulty can bring heart pain, sleepless nights and intense stress levels. Feeling sick to your stomach, losing your hair (literally) and being irritable is not the way most of us want to live. Yet, when the fear of the future and the guilt of the past races through our mind incessantly, it is hard for us to be our best.

As I meditated yesterday an idea flowed into my mind: How much do we really need anyway? We can learn from the birds, animals and insects. Do they have gigantic houses full of "stuff"? Do they have cupboards filled with extra food? No. They know something, they have mastered and integrated a concept that I believe the World is being guided to: Live one day at a time trusting that your needs will be met. Trust the Universe. Fry flee. Scurry along with joy and energy.

I have moved through an interesting process the past few years. At the outset, I was visualizing a huge house, tremendous wealth, a lifestyle with all the "extras." As I've been healing inside, I have begun to see that more than anything material, I want peace, freedom and love. My focus has shifted to wanting the flow of abundance to rush into my life so that it flows through my hands and out to the World. I want to be the most effective, loving person I can. How I want to feel is more of what I focus on than what "stuff" I want to have.

Having nice things and enjoying life is wonderful. I love to enjoy these things but I see that what I truly desire is something much deeper. I now trust that the Universe will bring to my life the perfect arrangement financially that will enable me to most effectively help others and enrich my life experience.

I see clearly how little I really do need to be happy. The verse from the Bible rings so true to me: I have learned that no matter what state I am in, I can be happy. Happiness is an inner state and has very little to do with what I have.

So, those are my musings this week. I trust it will give you something new to consider.

When you see a bird flying in the air, ask the Universe to help you soar higher.

When you notice an animal scurrying along, affirm that the Universe will supply you with what you need one moment at a time.

There is plenty for all.

A big hug,

Patricia Omoqui.
