The Gift

As the Holistic makeover is coming to a end, lots of friends and family have asked what did you learn, and do, what did you get out of this progress. I never realized the impact until I was done with my coach, and toward the end of this great experience, and this progress of searching. Searching for my self would be my greatest gift of all. I really expected so much more I thought as my last session was a day away. All these questions were coming up from deep inside, questions I have asked many times over. I still felt a sense of emptiness. I felt like a failure of some sort, how could this be so hard, and why does it have to be hard. With all this help and still I feel the way I do. The next day after my closing with my coach their was a break through of my own. Ive realized the truth of who I really was and where I was going. This was the work I was to do for so many years and now it was just a matter of owning up to it. Yes, "THE GIFT " the God given gift to work with the elderly and mentally challenged all these 26 years of my life. It all made sense now all I had to do was except this gift from God and finally I was ready to do just that. A joy came over me like I can not explain, I started to write everywhere in my home, at work, the bathroom, I kept getting insight about receiving your God given gifts. I always wanted something to write about well, I sure had more than enough now! I have noticed a shift in every way I look at everything inside of myself and outside. I have a bright future ahead of me now, from me finally excepting my gift things are coming to me, I do not have to do anything but ask for them now. This is the world to live in. I feel finally complete. I have now started writing my book ( a dream Ive had for years) the writing comes so easy on a subject that you truly experienced, went through, and learned by, and most of all want to share with so many. I want to help others see their gift in life that they may have not noticed as a gift. We all come with many gifts in this life time, but their is one that fits right with your soul , and comes easily. Don't cover it up, make excuses not to use it, and most of all see it, see it so clearly that their is nothing you need to do but offer it to the world and let it do the rest. I already have the name for my book, yes, you guessed it "THE GIFT"

Come back soon, Blessings, Laurie

The interview with God


I dreamed I had an interview with God.

“So you would like to interview me?” God asked.

“If you have the time” I said.

God smiled. “My time is eternity.” “What questions do you have in mind for me?”

“What surprises you most about humankind?”

God answered... “That they get bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again.”

“That they lose their health to make money... and then lose their money to restore their health.”

“That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future.”

"That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never lived.”

God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while.

And then I asked... “As a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn?”

“To learn they cannot make anyone love them. All they can do is let themselves be loved.”

“To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.”

“To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.”

“To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love, and it can take many years to heal them.”

“To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most, but is one who needs the least.”

“To learn that there are people who love them dearly, but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings.”

“To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.”

“To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another, but they must also forgive themselves.”

"Thank you for your time," I said humbly. "Is there anything else you would like your children to know?

God smiled and said, “Just know that I am here... always.”

This is one of my favorites. Please go to the web-site and watch the movie presentation it will bring tears to your eyes. Just put in "The interview with God" in your search bar.

With much Love, Laurie
