November 10, 2025 Joy, Peace, and Ease
My Mom is reading a book by Sara Landon and Mike Dooley:
"The Dream, the Journey, Eternity and God".
One of the passages says:
"Focus on Joy, peace and ease,
there you will find freedom, it's a higher dimension."
My Mom said that the book is a bit mind-expanding,
in terms of human life and being open to taking a look at,
more than what we see that is right in front of us.
You'll have to read the book to get a better understanding,
but what my Mom can relate to and stand behind,
is that when we are in a place of Joy,
when we are at peace,
and when we are at ease,
our lives seem easier,
our minds more clear.
When my Mom first started judging,
there were many times that she found her mind racing,
with all the issues being discussed in court,
by one side or the other.
At those times, she would step off the bench,
go into her chambers,
roll out her yoga mat,
lie down,
robe and all,
and deep breathe for a few minutes or longer.
She would wait for her mind to settle,
so that she could think clearly.
Then she would go back into the courtroom,
in a relaxed state,
and make her decisions.
My Mom also thinks that "Going with the Flow",
or trying to be "One with the Universe",
on the regular,
requires us to settle,
to listen,
to try to be in tune with the energies that tug us,
this way and that way,
all day long.
Do you think you have a "higher self"?
A kind of spiritual you that is connected to,
whatever "divine" source,
that keeps our world together?
And if so, do you make decisions,
or try to make them,
in "union" with that "divine" source?
Where am I going with this?
Well, maybe to share this.
My Mom has a gum issue (not the chewing kind),
that she has been hoping,
would resolve itself with a little positive energy,
and hydrogen peroxide.
While reading the book this post started out about,
she thought,
"let me ask ascended spiritual teachers/angels etc.,
the direction I should take".
(My Mom has a little phobia about the medical profession,
even though she was a nurse,
or in spite of that.)
Well, she "put it to them", asked the question,
and lo and behold,
she was awakened at 1:00 a.m.,
with a distinct plan,
as to how to have the gum issue addressed.
And,
she couldn't fall back to sleep,
for many hours.
So, she took the time to count her Blessings,
and all the things she loves about her life.
What she was doing, was connecting with,
Joy, peace and ease.
Whether spiritual teachers, or angels,
helped my Mom to make some decisions or not,
she feels more relaxed about this gum thing.
And what follows a relaxed state?
An ability to think more clearly.
With less of the phobia fear factor.
While she was counting her Blessings,
while she waited for the sun to come up,
she decided to further lift her energy,
good vibes, relaxed loving state or whatever....
so she looked at
some of the 30,000 photos she has on her phone,
which made her smile very big.
Here are some of them:
Darling Lois of course, from Sarasota, Florida
Matteo, fresh from a pumpkin patch in Westwood, NJ
Beautiful Betty from South Lake Tahoe, CA
Robin's Alfie, peaceful right?
Handsome Wiki, from Gardnerville, Nevada
Our latest full moon, taken by Bonnie in South Lake Tahoe, CA
Bonnie said that the moon,
took a long time to rise over the ridge,
but that she enjoyed the moon's presence,
as "she" hung around and Blessed Bonnie.
Isn't that a lovely thought?
Puppy Mosey, from South Lake Tahoe, CA
Mosey's sister, Stella
Oh, and my Mom's newest greeting cards.
They're part of her autobiographical series.
Seeing them makes my Mom very happy.
Let us know what you think of them.
My Mom's plans for the coming year,
will include cards as a thank you for donations,
and perhaps signed copies of our books.
We've got ideas!
And.....speaking engagements!
Watch out!
Things are happening around here!
Changing your focus from doom and gloom,
to happy and grateful,
sure makes for Joy, Peace and Ease.
Ahh...yes
Living life easily.
We recommend it.
