I trust all that comes up for me today.
I now know there is no value
in hiding the truth from myself.
I choose today to know everything about me

Distancing 

Though malice was never her cause or her aim
She lashed at the vice by calling his name
No individual she could ever resent
The cause of her sorrows was where it was meant
Her anger was pointed at not a defect
But more at the thing she could not correct
Why could not the love she held in her heart
Keep him from tearing their lives all apart
Then came the day she awoken to see
Her love it had moved to a lesser degree
Enlarging her wisdom she narrowed her bounds
And added a length from his solemn sounds
His stage was now empty, there was no one to see
No more excuses no strategy
That is when he asked for the One that he knew
He could not reward he had to be true
With help from the One he saw he could live
The teacher was teaching, to him would forgive
The moral of course is we must divide
Humilities rewards from punishing pride
She had found her freedom, then gave him the choice
She gave him the courage to answer the voice
Though he was inspired, he was not alone
She had made up her mind that made up his own

Just For Today  
March 8                            Learning To Love Ourselves

"We'll love you until you can learn to love yourself." These words, heard
so often in our meetings, promise a day we look forward to eagerly-the
day when we'll now how to love ourselves.

Self-esteem-we all want this elusive quality as soon as we hear about
it. Some of us seem to stumble upon it accidentally, while others
embark on a course of action complete with affirmations made to our
reflections in the mirror. but fix-it-yourself techniques and trendy
psychological cures can only take us so far.

There are some definite, practical steps we can take to show love
for ourselves, whether we "feel" that love or not. We can take
care of our personal responsibilities. We can do nice things for
ourselves, as we would for a lover or a friend. We can start paying
attention to our own needs. We can even pay attention to qualities that
we cherish in our friends-qualities like intelligence and humor-and look
for those same qualities in ourselves. We're sure to find that we really
are lovable people, and once we do that, we're well on our way.

Just for today: I will do something today that helps me
recognize and feel love for myself.

No Ordinary Success Story

      A.A. is no success story in the ordinary sense of the word.  It is
a story of suffering transmuted, under grace, into spiritual progress.
AS BILL SEES IT, p.  35

Upon entering A.A. I listened to others talk about the reality of their
drinking: loneliness, terror and pain.  As I listened further, I soon heard
a description of a very different kind -- the reality of sobriety.  It is a
reality of freedom and happiness, of purpose and direction, and of serenity
and peace with God, ourselves and others.  By attending meetings I am
reintroduced to that reality, over and over.  I see it in the eyes and hear
it in the voices of those around me.  By working the program I find the
direction and strength with which to make it mine.  The joy of A.A. is that
this new reality is available to me.

Twenty-Four Hours A Day by Hazelden/ March 8th

A.A. Thought for the Day

We must go to A.A. meetings regularly.  We
must learn to think differently.  We must
change from alcoholic thinking to sober thinking.
We must reeducate our minds.  We must try to
help other alcoholics.  We must cooperate with
God by spending at least as much time and
energy on the A.A. program as we did on drinking.
We must follow the A.A. program to the best of
our ability.  Have I turned my alcoholic problem
over to God and am I cooperating with Him?

Meditation for the Day

The joy of true fellowship shall be mine in full
measure.  I will revel in the joy of real fellowship.
There will come back a wonderful joy, if I share
in fellowship now. Fellowship among spiritually
minded people is the embodiment of God's
purpose for this world.  To realize this will
bring me a new life-joy.  If I share in humanity's
joy and travail, a great blessing will be mine.  I
can truly live a life not of earth, but a heaven
life here and now.

Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may be helped and healed by true
spiritual fellowship.  I pray that I may sense His
presence in spiritual fellowship with His children.

Surrender

    Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God,
as we understood Him.
    --Step Three of Al Anon

Surrendering to a Power greater than ourselves is how we become empowered.

We become empowered in a new, better, more effective way than we believed
possible.

Doors open. Windows open. Possibilities occur. Our energy becomes channeled,
at last, in areas and ways that work for us. We become in tune with the Plan
for our life and our place in the Universe.

And there is a Plan and Place for us. We shall see that. We shall know that.
The Universe will open up and make a special place for us, with all that we
need provided.

It will be good. Understand that it is good, now.

Learning to own our power will come, if we are open to it. We do not need to
stop at powerlessness and helplessness. That is a temporary place where we
re evaluate where we have been trying to have power when we have none.

Once we surrender, it is time to become empowered.

Let the power come, naturally. It is there. It is ours.

Today, I will be open to understanding what it means to own my power. I will
accept powerlessness where I have no power; I will also accept the power
that is mine to receive.

Always The Same Lesson?
by Chérie Carter-Scott, Ph.D.

Lessons will repeated to you in various forms until you have learned them.
When you have learned them, you can then go on to the next lesson.

Have you ever noticed that lessons tend to repeat themselves? Does it seem
as if you married or dated the same person several times in different bodies
with different names? Have you run into the same type of boss over and over
again? Do you find yourself having the same problem with many different
coworkers?

Several years ago, Bill Murray starred in a movie called Groundhog Day, in
which he woke up in the same day over and over until he learned all the
lessons he needed to in that one day. The same events kept repeating
themselves until he finally "got" what it was he was supposed to do in each
one. Does this strike a funny but familiar chord with you?

Lessons will be repeated until learned. When I taught high school, I always
told my students, "If you don't deal well with authority figures at home,
then you will have an opportunity to deal with them out in the world. You
will continually draw into your life people who need to enforce authority,
and you will struggle with them until you learn the lesson of obedience."
Teenagers often perceive their parents as overly strict. At the age of
fourteen, one of my former students went away to boarding school. Much to
her surprise, she found teachers and staff with the same rules that her
mother had laid down at home and that I had at school. She finally
understood.

In couples' counseling it is often noted that people who divorce and remarry
nearly always marry the same type of person they just left. Similarly, a
friend of mine named Cassidy who was a compulsive perfectionist had a knack
for attracting inappropriate men. It was no coincidence that Cassidy, to
whom mismatched socks were a horror and a torn shirt a federal offense,
repeatedly drew men into her life who dressed like slobs. She was a stickler
for manners, yet her most recent boyfriend held his spoon like Fred
Flintstone wields a drumstick. Only recently did Cassidy begin to
acknowledge that perhaps these men were appearing in her life as teachers
and opportunities to work out her perfectionist issue.

You will continually attract the same lesson into your life. You will also
draw to you teachers to teach you that lesson until you get it right. The
only way you can free yourself of difficult patterns and issues you tend to
repeat, is by shifting your perspective so that you can recognize the
patterns and learn the lessons that they offer. You may try to avoid the
situations, but they will eventually catch up with you.

To face these challenges means you need to accept the fact that something
within you keeps drawing you to the same kind of person or issue, painful
though that situation or relationship may be. In the words of Carl Jung,
"There is no coming to consciousness without pain." And come to
consciousness you must if you are ever to stop repeating the same lessons
and be able to move on to new ones.

The challenge of Rule Four is to identify and release the patterns that you
are repeating. As any good facilitator or therapist will tell you, this is
no easy task, since it means you have to change, and change is not always
easy. Staying just as you are may not help you advance spiritually, but it
certainly is comfortable in its familiarity. You grooved your patterns a
long time ago as a way of protecting yourself. Moving into unfamiliar new
behavior can be uncomfortable not to mention at times frightening.

Rising to the challenge of identifying and releasing your patterns forces
you to admit that the way you have been doing things isn't working. The good
news is that by identifying and releasing the pattern, you actually learn
how to change.

In my seminars, I teach that there are six basic steps to executing any
change in your life. They are:

awareness -- becoming conscious of the pattern or issue

acknowledgment -- admitting that you need to release the pattern

choice -- actively selecting to release the pattern

strategy -- creating a realistic plan

commitment -- taking action, aided by external accountability

celebration -- rewarding yourself for succeeding

No lasting change can be made, nor any pattern released permanently, without
going through each one of these steps. In order to facilitate your process
of change, you will need to learn the lessons of awareness, willingness,
causality, and patience. Once you master these, you will most likely find
the challenge of identifying and releasing your patterns far less
intimidating.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*One Day At A Time*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

 I truly believe that, no matter how bad or traumatic an
event appeared at the time, absolutely everything happens
for a reason - to teach us lessons in the 'scholarly
journey' of life... and that this only means that something
much bigger and better, something way more beautiful is
waiting for you - somewhere, somehow!

God can weave a beautiful tapestry from even the most
tangled thread of a shattered life.. It's just a matter of
"hanging in by the fingernails" with the hidden strength of
character that we all have deep within us...and which is
only severely tested in trials and tribulations. Like the
'pearl of great' price, which is produced by the great
irritation of the oyster. This suffering breeds our great
strength of character, which is within every one of us.

It's not what happens to us in life...it's how we react to
what has happened to us...and our success will largely
depend on our ATTITUDE to life: by remaining optimistic and
open to new opportunities in the face of hardship, when all
seems lost. Continue to do your part to open new doors
amidst your trials and tribulations. All we need is FAITH to
keep going.  So many miners gave up within inches of finding
the gold in the seam of life.

 I have an absolute faith in a Power way beyond ourselves,
God, Life, Spirit of the Universe, Higher Authority,
Infinite Intelligence, the Ultimate Source, the Creator
(whatever you wish to call Him/It).

 However, I also believe that God, first helps those who help
themselves. He may steer the course of our lives, but we
have to take action and start peddling.

 He always gives us HOPE and LOVE when we may think we have
nothing left...and God, Life Force, the Universe wants what
is best for us and for us to be fulfilled and happy.

 That, I believe, is why , I believe God always conspires to
deliver when we want something with all our heart and
soul. God can make our wildest dreams come true -ones that
are far bigger and more magnificent than we could ever have
dreamed ourselves.

A Little Bit of Joy
Author Unknown

A True Story

Twenty years ago, I drove a cab for a living. It was
a cowboy's life, a life for someone who wanted no
boss. What I didn't realize was that it was also a
ministry. Because I drove the night shift, my cab
became a moving confessional.

Passengers climbed in, sat behind me in total
anonymity, and told me about their lives. I
encountered people whose lives amazed me, ennobled
me, made me laugh and weep. But none touched me
more than a woman I picked up late one August night.

I responded to a call from a small brick fourplex in a
quiet part of town. I assumed I was being sent to pick
up some partyers, or someone who had just had a fight
with a lover, or a worker heading to an early shift at
some factory in the industrial part of town.

When I arrived at 2:30 a.m., the building was dark
except for a single light in a ground floor window.
Under these circumstances, many drivers would just
honk once or twice, wait a minute, then drive away. But
I had seen too many poor people who depended on taxis
as their only means of transportation.

Unless a situation smelled of danger, I always went to
the door. This passenger might be someone who needed
my assistance, I reasoned to myself. So I walked to
the door and knocked.

"Just a minute," answered a frail, elderly voice.

I could hear something being dragged across the
floor. After a long pause, the door opened. A small
woman in her 80s stood before me. She was wearing
a print dress and a pillbox hat with a veil pinned on
it, like somebody out of a 1940's movie.

By her side was a small nylon suitcase. The apartment
looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the
furniture was covered with sheets. There were no
clocks on the walls, no knick- knacks or utensils on
the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box
filled with photos and glassware.

"Would you carry my bag out to the car?" she said.

I took the suitcase to the cab, then returned to
assist the woman. She took my arm and we walked
slowly toward the curb. She kept thanking me for
my kindness.

"It's nothing," I told her. "I just try to treat my
passengers the way I would want my mother treated."

"Oh, you're such a good boy," she said.

When we got in the cab, she gave me an address,
then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?"

"It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly.

"Oh, I don't mind," she said. "I'm in no hurry. I'm
on my way to a hospice".

I looked in the rearview mirror. Her eyes were
glistening.

"I don't have any family left," she continued. "The
doctor says I don't have very long."

I quietly reached over and shut off the meter. "What
route would you like me to take?" I asked.

For the next two hours, we drove through the city.
She showed me the building where she had once
worked as an elevator operator. We drove through
the neighborhood where she and her husband had
lived when they were newlyweds.

She had me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse
that had once been a ballroom where she had gone
dancing as a girl. Sometimes she'd ask me to slow
in front of a particular building or corner and would
sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

As the first hint of sun was creasing the horizon,
she suddenly said, I'm tired. Let's go now."

We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
It was a low building, like a small convalescent home,
with a driveway that passed under a portico. Two
orderlies came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up.

They were attentive, watching her every move. They
must have been expecting her. I opened the trunk
and took the small suitcase to the door. The woman
was already seated in a wheelchair.

"How much do I owe you?" she asked, reaching into
her purse.

"Nothing," I said.

"You have to make a living," she answered.

"There are other passengers," I responded.

Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug.
She held onto me tightly.

"You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,"
she said. "Thank you, Dear."

I squeezed her hand, then walked into the dim morning
light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the
closing of a life.

I didn't pick up any more passengers that shift. I
drove aimlessly, lost in thought. For the rest of that
day, I could hardly talk. What if that woman had
gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient to
end his shift? What if I had refused to take the run,
or had honked once, then driven away?

On a quick review, I don't think that I have done
very many more important things in my life. We're
conditioned to think that our lives revolve around
great moments.

But great moments often catch us unaware -
beautifully wrapped in what others may consider
small ones.

Feelings on the Job

I'm furious about my job. Another man got a promotion that
I believe I deserve. I'm so mad I feel like quitting. Now my
wife says I should deal with my feelings.
What good will that do? He still got the promotion.
                                            -Anonymous

Our feelings at work are as important as our feelings
in any area of our life.
Feelings are feelings-and wherever we incur them,
dealing with them is what helps
us move forward and grow.

Not acknowledge and feelings is what keeps us stuck
and give us stomachaches, headaches, and heartburn.

Yes, it can be challenge to deal with feelings on the job.
It may be appropriate to take our intense feelings
to someone not connected to our workplace and
sort through them in a safe way.

Once we've experienced the intensity of the feelings,
we can figure out what we need to do to take care
of ourselves on the job.

Sometimes, as in any area of our life, feelings
are to be and felt and accepted.
Sometimes, they are pointing to a problem in us,
or a problem we need to resolve with someone else.
Sometimes, our feelings are helping
to point us in a direction.
Sometimes, they're connected to a message, or a fear:
I'll never be successful . . . I'll never get what I want . . .
I'm not good enough. . .

Sometimes, the solution is a spiritual approach or remedy
Remember, whenever we bring a spiritual approach
to any area of our life, we get the benefit.

We won't know what the lesson is until we summon
the courage to stand still and deal with our feelings.

Today, I will consider my feelings at work as important
as my feelings at home or anywhere else. I will find an
appropriate way to deal with them.

God's Love

All's right with my world!
I can't pay my rent,
My roof's falling in,
I'm starting to feel like a squirrel.

A still little voice inside me that says;
"Today's a new day,
Get up off your butt,
You'll see life in many new ways!"

Just to be grateful is the way I will start,
My son is in jail,
It just had to be,
I still have this love in my heart.

For things everchanging is what stays the same,
The rent will get paid,
The roof will be fixed,
And God's Love will ease all the pain!

Dragons & Daydreams

Often judged to be destructive
mythical  dragons hid in caves
protecting jewelled treasures
deep in mountain  sides in the midst
of wilderness lands Untameable, unreachable,  unknowable

Ancient teachings say that dragons
have spiritual  power
as wise mentors 
to show us the Way

I see them as  whimsical creatures
that inhabit the metaphysical land
not just an  imagining
but a potential force for positive change
A soul strength  at our disposal

We each have our own personal power dragon
I  truly believe
to whom we assign either timidity or
an adventuresome  spirit...

If it be tame, mild, a retreating entity;
if it be  forward, persistent, owning true integrity
depends entirely on the path  we choose
as part of our daily choices
as part of the integrating  process
the peaceful truce we make with our  nature/imagination

Dragons within make friends
with children,  move mountains
and protect secret treasures
Dare to  believe

With love, 
Stella
