The Universe has Taken Your Darkness

I found the following letter immeasurably inspiring.  Isn't it truly amazing that it is when we lose ourselves only to rediscover ourselves once more, that we are presented with the challenge of accepting ourselves in order to become who we would like to be.

The Universe has Taken Your Darkness ... Frolic in The New Colors of YOU!!!!

When you fully surrender to your new life and the direction your life is taking, as you hand your soul to the universe, the moment you are in will become serene. ~~ Stress, suffering, anger, mourning, and loss will melt under the candle light of the supreme energy.


Your future starts when you look into the mirror and see your own light eminating from you, because you have become the you that YOU wish to be. You have decided to become one with your true, honest, loving self. Now make the decision to use this new truth-knowledge to become a better you who knows not only who you are and what you are, but how to begin your new journey's ambitions.


The Universe has taken your darkness, created a fiery storm and from that storm a double rainbow shined a colorful light where the rain & clouds once were. This is the Mother Earth telling you to clear all darkness from your spirit and soul and not create rain clouds of doom. Wrap yourself in the aura of the double rainbow, frolic in the new colors of you, prominade your kind humanness and relationships that follow will evolve with ease.

The Mayonnaise Jar

This inspirational story was sent to me by a dear friend, and I felt motivated by it to more intensively explore how I prioritize my life's purposes.  It is with this in mind that I am sharing this tale with all my friends.

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, 
When 24 hours in a day is not enough;
remember the mayonnaise jar and 2 cups of coffee.

A professor stood before his philosophy class
and had some items in front of him. 

When the class began, wordlessly, 
he  picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar
and start to fill it with golf balls.

He then asked the students if the jar was full.
They agreed that it was. 

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and  poured
it into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. 
He then asked the students again 
if the jar was full. They agreed it was. 

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else 
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes."

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively filling the empty space between the sand.
The students laughed. 

"Now," said the  professor, as the laughter subsided,
"I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. 

The golf balls are the important things - God,  family,
children, health, friends, and favourite passions - Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full."

The pebbles are the things that matter like your job, house, and car."

The sand is everything else -- The small stuff."

"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued,
"there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life."

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff,
You will never have room for the things that are
important to you."

So... 

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.
Play with your children. 
Take time to get medical check-ups. 
Take your partner out to dinner. 

There will always be time to clean the house and fix the dripping tap."

"Take care of the golf balls first -- 
The things that really matter. 
Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. 

The  professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked."

"It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.."
