“And, FYI, there is no graduation.”

“One day at a time" isn't just for people in addiction recovery. It's a perspective and mindset everyone can use to feel more grounded and less overwhelmed. Living one day at a time means staying grounded in the present—this moment, this breath to begin living one day at a time.”

“Contemplative practice creates opportunities to return to the ‘enchantment’ of the garden: the true paradise lying deep within our souls. One way to start to shift out of the obscured false self way of living is to begin to develop awareness, to awaken the senses, to look, listen, feel, and touch as the small child does—to return to one’s senses. Present-moment awareness is about creating a gap in the constant busyness of the mind. It is through such a space, new and creative possibilities are born.”

Meditation for the Day “My spiritual life depends on an inner consciousness of God. I must be led in all things by my consciousness of God, and I must trust Him in all things. My consciousness of God will always bring peace to me. I will have no fear, because a good future lies before me as long as I keep my consciousness of God. If in every single happening, event, and plan I am conscious of God, then no matter what happens, I will be safe in God's hands . Prayer for the Day I pray that I may always have this consciousness of God. I pray for a new and better life through this God consciousness.”
