Hop in Gratitude
To express her gratitude, my daughter, Jannah, gave me this sweet drawing that she colored. Isn't it fun?
When she gave me this drawing, her large eyes stretched even bigger. She couldn't contain the excitement she felt when giving it to me, and that's how she is when she gives me or anyone anything. It is so beautiful how she hops when she talks to me, or when she is doing something that makes her feel good. Her enthusiasm is contagious! In return, my voice goes an octave higher, and I respond with the same enthusiasm. It's not forced; her energy transfers to me, reinforcing the truth that we are all connected.
So, today, for my gratitude practice, I am going to give of myself anyway I can with such enthusiasm that I hope to transfer it to all I come in contact with today. This light energy is infinite. Here are a few areas that first comes to mind based on the errands and tasks I need to do today: buying groceries - writing a resume for someone today as a form of service, not pay - paying a couple of bills - reading and critiquing other's writing as a source of encouragement.
The power to give is the same power in which we receive things. As I read somewhere, it's one running faucet, steadily moving and powerfully providing. There is no separation. All we need to do is move with the harmonic flow of the Universe, transferring all the love-thanksgiving we can hold in our hearts. In this type of living, we have no attachments to expectations. We let things be as they are. Yes, go with the flow in gratitude and thanksgiving, and watch how beauty manifests in your life in a variety of forms. Will you be enthusiastic and hop in gratitude with me and Jannah today?
Love, Liberty & Light

Pass the Rock
Recently, I went for a walk in the park. White Oak Park is such pretty scenic view. It has rolling hills, but you can see over them, as far as your eyes will take you. I walked admiring this view, blessing each person who passed me. I like to walk against traffic so that I can look into the faces of the people I bless.
On this day, I saw an elderly man walking, leaning to one side. He had a good stride going. We greeted each other with a head nod. Immediately, I thought he had such kind eyes. I said, "good morning." He stopped, and I had to back up a few steps to face him. He gave me a rock, and said, "I'm passing this rock to you. We don't have a torch so I'm passing this rock." I said, "OK." I held the rock in my hand. It was dirty, a black and grayish color. I looked for a sign or something that I should know about that rock, turning it around and around. He laughed, and said, "I'm leaving now. So, be sure to pass it along. The rock is what you put into it." I smiled at him, and my heart danced at the thought. I said, "I will definitely pass it along."
During my last lap around the dirt trail, I felt it was time to release the rock to someone else. I held it, blessed it, and allowed my entire body to fill the energy of love and gratitude. Then, I saw Rebecca. I stopped her and explained the rock to her. The feeling and words came through me like a burst of energy. My enthusiasm was contagious; she squeezed the rock as I told her how she is the Divine expression of love, and that her life is hers to live to the fullest. I said, "You have a purpose. Listen to your heart and soul, and go for it." Her head moved up and down while I spoke to her, as if she were drinking a love potion. She gave me a hug, and I thanked Divine Source for that elderly man and Rebecca. It had been my first time ever meeting them both on that trail.
I read somewhere that incredible stories happen everyday, all the time. By being in the present moment, a wonderful miracle happened to me, the elderly man, and Rebecca; our kindred spirits accepted that rock on that day in our lives, which allowed us to recognize that we are one. Rebecca said, "I don't know what I will say or who I will give this rock too, but I can't wait."
The rock represented living in the moment to me. I am grateful to have shared this miraculous moment with the elderly man and Rebecca.

The Dancer
When you feel like you can't move, dance. When your heart is occupied with pain, dance. When you are in doubt or feeling worried, dance. Dance because you are celebrating your life; you are the perfect divine expression of peace, greatness, love and joy!
(Jannah striking her pose before she went off to her dance recital. The theme: "I wanna dance." It was such a fun and exciting day with the family!)

Love Is What We Are
"Love is neither learned nor taught. We are created in and of love. It is what we are." - Eric Butterworth
Sometimes I don't feel like I am love; sometimes I don't feel like loving, especially when I'm faced with a perceived challenge. I feel irritated and frustrated, and I think I know why at the time. But then, I sit in the reality--what is real to me. I look within, only to find out that I am actually irritated with the idea of the challenge; so, I pull the challenge apart, piece by piece, in my thoughts, deciphering it.
You know what I find? I find that I'm attached to a specific outcome of the perceived challenge. When I release and let go of the attachment, I feel free. When I open my mind and heart--relaxing my shoulders, my back, softening my heart and mind, and letting go of expectations--love shines through; I feel Divine Presence all around me, in me and through me.
I feel my light shining; I feel the love glowing. Even in perceived darkness, I see the light. How? I am carrying it with me, lighting my path, and for this: I AM grateful to be love. Love is what we are.

Asking for prayers...
I am asking for prayer for my friend, Selah, who is on her healing journey. Please pray today and affirm your prayer on tomorrow. Thank you!
We know that her mind and body are ONE, whole, complete, and the perfect manifestation of Divine Presence. Her breasts are the breasts of God; her body is the body of God. Therefore, any outside interference can be removed by simpling speaking, knowing and feeling the truth! It's our power. The truth is that Selah is the image and likness of God. She is the invisbile and visible; and we are grateful for her perfect healing and for her life. And so it is. Amen.

Healing Project for SeLah - Can you help?
Peace and Blessings!
Do you know of anyone in your life that has shown deep, unwavering love for God’s Creation? I do. Her name is Selah. She is my wonderful friend, my true sister, and a passionate supporter of humankind; now, she needs our help.
Selah has used her blog, Necessary Room, to help hundreds of people in need. She has brought people together from around the world, allowing people to use Necessary Room as a platform to give, to love, to heal, and to establish beautiful friendships. “Practice Kindness” is how Selah explains her online projects to uplift the sick and love the forgotten. One of my favorites is, "Selah’s Angels", a project established to send an anonymous card to encourage those who are battling cancer.
Now, it is time to help her; Selah has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Because she believes in natural healing, she has decided to attend the Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida. Total cost is $5,000.00. Her health insurance will not cover the cost.
Will you help Selah continue to help others, by helping her? If everyone can give a little something, it will go a long way.
You may send electronic donations via www.paypal.com to: Roxannbc@aol.com or you can mail donations to:
72 Fairview Oak Place

Will you post this announcement on your blog? Thank you.
Thank you, in advance, for your love, support, and prayers. I started a non-profit organization for people who want to heal mind, body & soul; It is called Light, Liberty & Love, Inc. Stay tuned…

Jump-Start!
Walking to my car inside of the parking garage at the university one evening, I saw a young male standing near his car; the hood of his car was up. He said he needed to jump-start his car. I offered, but I told him that my car battery was under the back seat. Even though he was anxious to leave, he opted to wait on his friend because we didn't want to deal with removing the backseat in my car.
Recently, I began to worry about something that I had no control over. I had to reach out to my family and friends for reassurance that everything was fine at that particular moment. Just like that young man in the parking garage, I needed a jump-start to remind me that ALL is well.
At different times of our lives, we need a jump-start to remind us how blessed we are. When I've just come through an experience where I've learned something that allows me to truly live my life the way Divine Presence intended for me to live, I have the opportunity to see someone else's experience and challenges with love, offering unlimited support. You see, we are all connected, and we have the ability to recognize the beauty, strength, and courage in each other. So, when I'm feeling a little unsure, I know I'm loved. I know my jump-start is coming, and I expect it. I know where to go and ask for my jump-start, if needed.
Do you need a jump-start? Well, here it is; peace, love, joy, beauty, prosperity, abundance, well being, perfect health, and wholeness are yours. I know this to be the truth because these attributes are of Divine Presence, and you are IT's Expression.

God Appreciates You
I started to write a topic about love. Then Jannah, my daughter, chimmed in with her idea of what I should write and the title. Listening to Divine Guidance, I typed exactly what she said.
Love and Peace loves you.
Love and Peace loves you and everyone.
Everyone appreciates Peace and God.
Love and Peace loves you and carries you.
Jannah and I love everyone, and we love you. Happy Holidays!

Light Moments
My brother told me recently that he doesn't ask anyone for help because he doesn't feel comfortable with others thinking he owes them something for their help. I listened closely and tried not to interject my ideas. I have to admit it was difficult to remain quiet, but I did. We then started discussing how he seldom has a bad day. He said, "Every day I wake up is a day to be happy so since I awake every day, I'm happy." I smiled. I am excited to hear his words echo in my heart.
Instead of focusing on his perception regarding "receiving help," I am thrilled that I am able to appreciate with love my brother who is happy every day he wakes up. I choose to celebrate his life by accepting his growth and evolvement as is.
Sometimes we don’t need to project our ideas, beliefs or even truths on to anyone. All we have to do is listen sometimes and allow Divine Love, Intelligence, and Beauty to shine through. I see my brother’s little light shining so brightly. This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine! This was my lesson.
