At Your Service

My friend’s mom passed away recently. I wanted to write something in her honor, but each time I started, it wasn’t quite right. So I trusted it would come in its own time.

This morning I was meditating and focusing on my solar plexus chakra (above the navel, below the chest). I pictured its bright yellow warmth and its power to transform our spiritual energy into physical presence. And there she was! I heard her clearly…It’s what you DO that matters.

Today’s inspiration: Serve

How to do it: Start right where you are.

• Offer a smile to a stranger.
• If you like someone’s shoes, tell them.
• Hug your spouse.
• Hug your child.
• Send a text to your sister.
• Call a friend.
• Smile at yourself in the mirror.

Repeat: Make it your goal to serve someone every day this holiday season. Keep a list on your phone of the things you do. Don’t worry about having the purest love or intention, just DO SOMETHING that makes someone happy. Love often follows the action.

You count too: Remember we are all one. Offering love to yourself is every bit as important and impactful as offering love to another.

Be inspired. Go forth. Create your day.
