Dear Friends, as we bid good bye to Summer and welcome Fall, I invite you to take 10 minutes today to identify three “gifts” that you  received this Summer. The gifts to which  I am referring may  have been  physical or tangible gifts or maybe they were more  gifts of the heart, mind or spirit. These gifts may have been in one of these forms:

Verbal: Did someone say something to you this Summer that blessed you in such a way that you had a brief moment of seeing yourself in a new and positive light.

Non-verbal:  Did someone look at you in such a way that you immediately had a heart felt connection and in this connection felt a sense of oneness.

Physical Gift: Did someone give you an actual gift that was exactly what you wanted and in being given this gift, you felt more positive about yourself.

Physical touch: Did someone give you a dear hug that helped you through a rough day.

The gifts may have been in another form as well. Whatever comes to mind will be the right answer in this exercise. Do not over think this.

The point is this: I am asking you to begin to understand that the ONE  you are seeking is YOU.  We humans have erroneously been led to believe that the  “longing” we have for the right companion or friend or partner is simply the longing or our truest or highest self longing for us. This is a hard concept to understand. This little exercise is   a way for you to begin to connect with the part of you that is seeking you. The gifts you received touched you right where it most counts:  Within YOU.

As we do connect first with this part of ourselves, we are then to connect with all others around us in a new way. The new way does not involve “needing” the other to complete us. This new way involves connecting with another from Wholeness.  In this way, the sum of the 2 individuals is indeed greater than two.

Let us welcome Fall today from a place of inner wholeness, in this way, we are adding peace and JOY to our world rather than confusion.
