"Recovering a Sense of Strength" Continued

Last week we looked at our goals, and did a goal search. This week we are looking at our childhood, our colours, and more of our desires. On page 147 there is a quote by Dr. Joseph Murphy, "Your desire is your prayer. Picture your desire now and feel it's reality and you will experience the joy of the answered prayer." This is the teaching of "The Secret", of Wayne Dwyer, of Eckhart Tolle, and many other spiritual leaders. Our thoughts create our world.

• Task 2: New Childhood...What might you have been?
  
• Task 3: Colour Schemes...Pick a colour and write a few sentences describing yourself...
  
• Task 4: List five things you are not allowed to do.
  
• Task 5: Style Search...List twenty things you like to do. 

* Mary Cassatt, "Mother and Child"

 

LESSON

I was thinking of you all and think we all can relate to this poem:)
Connie

LESSON

by Grace E Easley

They said "you'll never make it",

And they thought that they were right.

But I kept on plodding onward,

Because I hoped I might.

And they shook their heads in wonder,

That I lacked the sense to quit,

But I held my chin up higher,

And I didn't mind a bit.

They said "you'll never make it",

As the problems multiplied,

But I had to make an effort,

And to know at least I tried.

So I dug my heels in deeper,

Though sometimes my spirits lagged,

And I shouldered what was lightest,

And the rest I sort of dragged.

And I found to my amazement,

At the ending of the day,

That what they said I couldn't,

I had managed anyway.

It only took three little words,

"Lord help me", and I rid

myself of doubt, and all they said

I'd never do...I did.

Actually, I had been praying for guidance, because of some self-pity personal issues,when I came upon this poem in some old papers. I knew when I read it, it was God's answer to me:)

Traditional Ceili and Set Dance Classes will commence this Wed. at the Irish American Assoc. Northwest Jersey Cultural Center in Rockaway........http://iaanj.com/events.htm
If you never experienced them, they are similar to square dancing. It's exercise, and great fun.
