All things happen for a purpose. My past experiences also had purpose. I have learned from my past and am now free from it. I choose to completely release the past and live in the now. I am grateful today to be alive. Let me live each moment of this day attentively, consciously and intentionally, with an open mind and an open heart. This day let my hopes for healing of mind, body and spirit become visible in my life. I am grateful for my body, for each breath I draw, for the blood in my veins, for the cells of which I am composed. May I treasure this body with every act of eating, breathing, sleeping, feeling. I am grateful for the people I know and have known, friends living and dead, those I love and see, and those I love and no longer see; for love that is stronger than death and for love that never ends. Each day help me to connect with the diversity of human creation, young and old, positive and negative, every race, gender and orientation. Keep me passionate and engaged in creating a world of justice, and free from poverty, where everyone is valued, loved and free. May my awareness of mortality inspire me to live abundantly, here and now. Let my life be a prayer, my dreams a reality. I achieve my goal with joy, ease, and peace. As I look upon my words, I know that the world is shifting to bring forth everything on my list. I now see opportunities, I now have ideas, and I now have the means to accomplish everything I desire and it feels wonderful.

I'd like to share my time and space with people who are honorable, accountable and stand true to who they are and possess the true meaning of integrity character and substance. People who treat people the way they want to be treated in every spectrum. People who are real with themselves and love to love.

Always,
Mary E.
