Affirmation for today: “Seeing Both Sides As One.” Life can appear to filled with paradoxes. What we must remember is that it all comes from the One. See beyond appearances to the Source of Life itself.” Affirm this truth and feel these words as I read them: “I see through the eye of the Divine. I am grateful for my sacred vision, knowing God is all there is.” And so it is. This is from the SOM magazine, Practitioner Eugene Holden. This has been Yolanda Holiday with today’s announcements.
