My Birthday Booty

Today is the last day of my 56th year. I have now spent 56 full years on Planet Earth. Show me what you got, Rita.

Well, I'm shaking my birthday booty, and I have to say it's quite filled with lots of treasures. I've had an amazing life. No gold coins to show right now, but my life is ever rich in experience, friends and love.

First of all, I have to give gratitude for my upbringing, although stormy at times, it is a big part of who I am and I bless it.

I've had the opportunity and wisdom to follow my spiritual trail where ever it takes me and it's always taken me home to mySELF safely. I am grateful.

I had the opportunity to give birth to the three most blessed children who have since grown up to be giving, loving human beings. How much richer can you get than that. I am grateful.

I have always had a loving partner in my life and a rich and fun and yes sexy relationship. Right now I am having more loving fun than ever with Patrick Feren. I am grateful.

I've had the opportunity to laugh, love, cry, and be part of the lives of amazing people...people who actually live their lives to make the world a better place. I cannot put a price on that, either. I am grateful.

I've had the opportunity to express my creativity in multiple ways from cooking to singing to acting to writing. That means that I have spent my life expressing my God gifts. I am grateful.

So, what do I want for my 57th birthday? How do I see my life? At one time, I would have said that I want one of my scripts to sell, I want a million dollars, or I want a new home. Yes, I want all those things. I cannot deny it. But, frankly, I'm tired of wanting things. I'm finally ready to let go.

I want to live in complete knowing that I am a unique expression of God and that God is the only source and substance of my supply. If I could live in that embodiment for more than a few minutes at a time, that would be the best birthday gift that I'd ever had. The thing is, I am the only one who can give that gift to myself.

In the Science of Mind reading today, Ernest Holmes said, "Just so far as we depend upon any condition, past, present or future, we are creating chaos, because we are then dealing with conditions (effects)and not causes."

This rings so true to me. I have most recently been depending on conditions or effects to know that I am all right...that I am rich. The reading goes onto say that "...there is a Power that makes things directly out of Itself-by simply becoming the thing it makes..."

I am willing to go the distance this year. I am willing to trust this Power as the only source of my supply. It is me and I am It. I am shaking my birthday booty and I don't know what it looks like, but it feels really good. It is GOOD!

love,
Rita
