Happy new day!
Today I happened to glance at our free newspaper headlines which drew me in--I was only looking for news of my friend's passing...
Our high desert community is normally pretty uneventful as far as news goes. Now, however I find that an entire new subdivision has been abandoned by its builders with no communication, leaving homeowners 'holding the bag'.
And another article describes a road rage killing in our Safeway parking lot!
What do we do with news like this? I don't find it easy to immediately see the Good in news like this. However introspection reminds me that even these things are in some sort of Divine Order, that those involved are right where they need to be just as I would be were I the one involved. This seems unfair and unlikely, but believing it helps soften the blows and I can then get past the anger or frustration and send love to them instead.

HAPPY AND HEALTHY.COM 2nd posting!
Look what I just got in the mail from an unsolicited catalog no less!! Talk about this positive thinking working!
"Edgar Cayce indicated that cold and flu germs thrive in an overacid system. What can cause this imbalance? Poor diet, stress, and even negative thinking!
Deal constructively with stressful situations by quieting yourself within and looking for positive solutions. Try not to allow yourself to think negatively! Negative thoughts can impact not only your happiness, but your health as well.
The [physical] solution: Be sure that 80% of your diet comes from alkaline-forming foods, such as all fruits (except cranberries, plums, prunes and strawberries), all vegetables (except lentils and corn), milk, molasses, brown sugar, and brewer's yeast."
First HAPPY AND HEALTHY.COM 'meeting'!!
Good afternoon!!
This morning as I prepared myself to attend a neighborhood party the concept of HAPPY AND HEALTHY.COM was born.
It seems like many people are diagnosed these days with some type of chronic pain and sadly it appears that many of them define themselves by the degree of that pain. Therefore they get to have a 'society' into which I do not fit, never having experienced any real chronic pain and having avoided labeling myself. As I thought more about this I realized there are many societies based on similar dis-eases from addictions to abuse. While these are very valuable sources of support, I couldn't help but wonder where all the societies founded upon the Universal Laws are--at least locally. Could be just that I stay close to home and Spirit a bit too much...
Nevertheless, for those of us who focus on our chronic happiness and health there seems to be little support. So today I invite you my online family of friends to join me in the first meeting of the HAPPY AND HEALTHY.COM "support group"!
I'll go first... Recently a neighbor whom I've considered a very good friend for the past 6 years suddenly died. Letting my shock, sorrow and grief be a healthy reaction, I reached out to supportive friends finally realizing so much more about myself and even forging a closer bond with my fellow neighbors. While Dick will be sorely missed, his good works and kind, loving ways will live on because of the richness with which he blessed our lives and the neighborhood. And isn't this really what living is all about??
Since I really DO get weary of hearing myself 'talk' and knowing that an exchange of ideas is not only fun but enlightening, please send me your thoughts about what's happening for you either positive or not so positive that you've been able to see the Good in. Just post a comment that I will add as an entry if you wish--or email me with your thoughts. LET'S GET THIS HAPPY AND HEALTHY.COM "SUPPORT GROUP" GOING!!
I invite us all to look deeply at our blessed lives or seemingly difficult circumstances, getting to the Truth that lies beneath. Then as we all know so well, by focusing on that Truth we enlarge the joy and no longer can see the difficulties as impossible obstacles but mere hurdles from which we can even choose to learn and grow. AND just think how much easier it will become with others pulling in the 'right' direction with and for us...how much more really HAPPY AND HEALTHY life will be!
Much love,
Judy

A friend sent the following to me recently—no author mentioned (perhaps he wrote it himself). Again I have adapted it for our use.
Everything has to do with intentions. If it is our intention in life to live the grandest version of the greatest vision we ever held about who we are, and if that vision of ourselves is that we are loving, caring, generous, kind, compassionate, and truthful, then we will behave towards others in a way which could look like we are putting them first. The difference is that we will be doing this not for others, but for ourselves...because this is simply who we are.
When we do things for others (or imagine that this is what we are doing), two insidious attitudes can appear: Expectation and Resentment. We may begin to expect that those for whom we are doing things now "owe" us, and we may experience growing resentment if they don't "pay up."
On the other hand, when we do things for ourselves (even if that results in nice things happening for others), it will be difficult to move into Expectation, and virtually impossible to build up Resentment...unless we clearly do not understand the nature of what is occurring. That is, unless we ignore or deny that we are doing something for ourselves, and actually convince ourselves that we are doing it for another.
In truth, everything we do, we do for ourselves, because every act is an act of self-definition. All of life is a process of deciding Who We Are. Our purpose is to experience that, and to recreate ourselves anew in the next grandest version of it. This is called Evolution.
So let’s think of ourselves first at every moment of decision. Think of Who We Are, and of what we are trying to become. Let’s make the highest choice about that - paint the greatest picture we could ever imagine of Who We Are in every place and circumstance - and all the rest will take care of itself.
SUGGESTED AFFIRMATIONS:
“I make the highest choices for myself and others!”
“In doing for myself I am doing for others.”
Let’s SPEND our entire $92,000— living the grandest version of the greatest vision we ever held about who we are!

I don’t espouse any specific religious dogma but rather when something reminds me of our collective determination to be all were are designed to be I get excited to share with you!
Sometimes we exert a lot of energy in trying to do things ‘right’. But often these attempts actually hinder our own self-expression.
Have we ever stopped to ask ourselves what if it’s okay to do it our own way?
What if the way we speak, cook, write, dance, sing or do our work is a unique gift?
What if our focus shifted from doing things right to sharing our gifts and talents from the deepest place of love?
Has greatness ever derived from conformity? Most of us would probably answer, “No”, and yet so often this is our unconscious goal—to get it ‘right’, which means to conform to a preconceived idea of what is supposed to be.
Of course we can learn from others’ techniques, methods and ways of doing things. But at what point do we start serving the techniques or methods, or moving into irritation, rather than allowing what we are learning to help us fully express our originality?
The invitation here is to express our own unique genius in all matters. In this way perhaps we can serve our planet in the most authentic, greatest way possible.
And we all know riches will follow…
This is my adaptation of a message written by Rev. Gregory Toole from the February 2008 Science of Mind Magazine.
SUGGESTED AFFIRMATIONS:
“I rejoice in doing things just the way I do them!”
“I don’t try to fix myself.”
Let’s SPEND ALL of our $191,000—in our own unique way!

Today for any newcomers I’d like to explain a bit about what this game is about.
In a nutshell it’s a tool to help us verbalize and visualize what we DO choose to draw into our lives instead of what may be actually happening or what we don’t want. According to the Laws of the Universe, as unfailing as any physical laws, this incontrovertibly creates in physical form what our thoughts are dwelling on.
SO the idea is that we are to spend our deposit knowing there is infinite abundance and even ask the Angel of Abundance for more whenever we’d like. Some of our players have even set up deposit slips, checks and a ledger showing their income and spending!
Since we started this game on
If you haven’t already, I hope you’ll join our growing family of Wealth Creators!!
We welcome any success stories you would like to share.
And if you’d like for me to email the deposit directly to you please let me know!
Along with each deposit I share some piece of inspiration that inspires me and hopefully is meaningful to everyone. This time I’m drawing on a message from a very old Science of Mind Magazine from so long ago I don’t even have the author’s name. Here’s my adaptation of it!
Compensation is Balance
We need to never miss an opportunity to put the universe in our debt!!
It will always repay us!
The scales of life are very delicately balanced.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Whenever something is taken away, something else appears to take its place. Whenever we give, an invisible inner meter registers how much we shall be given to keep the scales of the universe in balance.
No good is ever lost. No energy is ever lost: it always reappears.
The Law doesn’t consciously work for us or against us, however. It just works to assure that everything is compensated for.
As we must face the consequences when we break physical laws, so the natural balance of things rewards us and compensates us when we keep the law.
A high consciousness of unselfish love is compensated for with harmony and peace in our lives.
A high consciousness of prosperity is compensated for with the abundance of whatever we need to live graciously.
Good deeds are compensated for with suitable rewards.
Giving triggers receiving.
Doing good for others assures us that good will be done to us.
Also, remember that virtue is its own reward, and that “loving, self-forgetting service is the shortest, the safest, the surest road to God.” (Rosicrucian adage)
SUGGESTED AFFIRMATIONS:
“I am not rewarded for my good deeds; I am rewarded by them!”
“I always do my very best to live my life in accordance with the law of compensation.”
Let’s SPEND our $90,000—abiding by the Law!

This morning—along with an extra bonus deposit--I was going to share a long time favorite article but then this message on Abundance showed up! It’s from the January 2008 Science of Mind Magazine, written by Rev. Diane Harmony—once again I’ve paraphrased here and there.
Abundance
We live in a vast sea of abundance. There is an inherent necessity for us to realize that our manifestations of prosperity are not made by attaining something outside of ourselves, but by realizing that we are swimming in abundance, literally infused with it.
When we are truly able to assimilate this truth, we realize that we have no need; that there is nothing missing. When we shift our consciousness to knowing that all Spirit has is ours, we understand that we are the infinite supply of God and all thought of lack disappears.
Rather than living from the place of believing that we “don’t have, “ we move to the truth that we represent all of the aspects of the Divine; that we are whole, perfect and complete. From here, we begin to live in the full expectancy that all we require to be the perfect instruments of the Divine is manifested at the perfect time, in the perfect space for our highest good.
Like little children at the ocean, we can learn to float on the sea of abundance, buoyed up by the living waters of God’s infinite supply.
SUGGESTED AFFIRMATION:
“I have abundance because I am abundance!”
Let’s SPEND our $189,000 in JOY—
just think what it can do for us as well as the rest of the world!!!

Hope you had HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
This month I’m highlighting my pencil drawing of this magnificent poodle Tesoro. 
His owner (a friend of Kat’s) contacted me for an 8”x10” portrait for a Christmas gift. It was a bit too late to meet that deadline, but almost… Once again it was as much a joy for me to get to know Tesoro as it was for the receiver and giver of the gift.
I am very grateful to KAT BERARD—Katalyst for Animal Wholeness, www.katberard.com for continuing to share what I do through her newsletters.
