BELIZE IT OR NOT

I'm getting pretty excited because I'm leaving today for Belize!
The Barbers are reporting 25 students and 4 are girls! This is
pretty big news. They haven't had that many students enrolled at the
school before. It's going to be a wonderful adventure.
When I get back I'll be doing a program at our church, West Branch Friends, so I'll keep you posted in case you want to attend.

If you wanted to contribute to this mission and the school you still can! Just go to my Outreach page and click on DONATE!
All of your prayers and good wishes are much appreciated.

Oh, and Hurricane Richard, you don't scare me!

Withold Judgement on Yourself, You're not done yet.

Lately I've posted a couple of photos of my bonus daughters. They are two of the smartest, funniest, most beautiful women I know! They 've overcome so much in their young lives and have given me so much! I have been able to witness their blossoming from being afraid to be themselves because of the consequences that might have, into the sensitive, nurturing, ambitious, passionate, gorgeous flowers they are now. The photos are from pre-teen years when we all feel awkward and geeky. They remind me that everyone, no matter how they feel about themselves, is a powerful transmitter for change and that we can choose what and who we will become. Thanks bonus daughters for the privilege of participating in your lives. I love you!

How to Experience Perfection

What is the feeling of perfection? Is it a noun or a verb? Perfecting something is to practice it over and over.

There was a story I saw about a man who made the most sublime noodles in China. He bent and strained his body in the perfecting of the noodles. He was de-formed by the process. Or reformed or informed but certainly not escaping being shaped by the thing he chose to do most.

What do you choose to do most? What is forming you? What are you bending to and allowing into your attention? Does it buoy you in times of stress? Does it bring out more peace, joy, love?

If we look at perfection as a thing we can never attain then why would anyone bother? Our perfection is already here. It's in the way our bodies knit together from just two other cells. It's in the way our innate intelligence knows that this part will be an eyelash cell and this part will be a little toe cell. This is the perfection with which we are made. We don't have to learn how to do it because the part of us that is connected to all of creation is our subconscious and it is running all the time. We can communicate with it through feelings and visualization or daydreams.

When you spend just five minutes thinking about a place you'd like to be or a place that you felt comfortable, loved and fulfilled, you are creating that experience cellularly as well.

Try this: close your eyes and think of a time when you experienced the most love and acceptance you can remember ever having. Give yourself some time to expand on this thought. It can be a real time or imaginary. Take inventory of your five senses in this time. What does it smell like there? What is the temperature? Are you inside or outside? Are there others with you? What sounds and colors are around you? Take your time and really experience in your thoughts and feelings of this time of love and acceptance.

Now let yourself come back to this reading. You may feel more peaceful, relaxed and warm. You are getting in touch with the perfect part of you that helps to create what you are thinking.

We are in the process of perfecting ourselves and enjoying that can be perfection!

Renee talks about OCD

Sometimes we encounter problems/symptoms that seem like they come out of nowhere. They don't. They come from past traumas and interference that has not been addressed. And those challenges can teach us about ourselves.



Do you have a challenge that you don't understand? Come in and find the cause.

No Disease in Perfection!

When one gets to the point that they are ready to really know what is going on with their health and peace of mind that's when the real healing begins! B.E.S.Technique is not a cure it leads one to the perfection with which they were made. And you know there is no disease in perfection.
