As I write this, a snow is gently falling, candles are burning nearby, some jazz is softly playing, and our old black cat Gallagher is in his place atop the computer monitor staying warm. Who could ask for more?

But why ask? Asking will get you just that, the "asking". Science of Mind has taught me about accepting what I desire, and I accepted this scene. Not exactly, but I accepted the environment in which to transcribe my column and here I am before you and turned the details over to the Universe. Transcribe? Yes, what gets put down comes through me and onto the screen, I just accept it and there it is.

It appears as we are going to talk about acceptance, perhaps it's what Spirit and I have chosen for me to clarify. You see, this column is wonderful in that it is a great tool for my own personal Inner growth. By sharing thoughts, we all grow and learn by listening and contributing. I am blessed at my workplace to be surrounded by creative people, and when we are work together in this way, we accomplish great things. Each day, I treat for my fellow employees to foster creativity and co-operation. I accept this for me and for them. No details, just the condition.

Turning over the details to God is where I'm at. Letting go and letting God! It's easy when you don't have to apply it to yourself (hey, we're in control, right?). Isn't it? So, starting now, and every Now. I know that all the situations and conditions in our lives are what we have accepted into it through Spirit. We can accept good, better, and the best - each has a lesson for us to learn and share from. And the best part is, it all happens as you are ready!

In Love, Light, & Laughter
