Affirmation for today: “Acceptance.” “Acceptance is letting things be just as they are. This doesn’t mean that we have to invite them to dinner. We just accept that this is what’s going on. Accepting the paradoxes of life can catapult us to living our lives on purpose. Affirm this truth and feel these words as I read them: I accept that my life is good. I am the love of God, shinning the power of the Infinite everywhere I go I accept this as my purpose. And so it is. This is from the SOM magazine, Practitioner Eugene Holden. This has been Sheila Mitchell with today’s announcements. Enjoy Your Sunday.
