Today's Message - Choices by Marilyn Dixon Pfanstiel
Tonight I was invited to two events which were scheduled at the same time. I had to make a choice...in fact, I had several choices - not to go to either one, go to one, or the other, or to go to both. I decided to go to both of them. One was a reception for my new art teacher's exhibiting her artwork so I enjoyed my new art friends. The other was a group who had met for six weeks last fall and discussed Eckart Tolle's Book The Power of Now and continues to meet monthly to discuss various books or videos. The movie chosen to show was ordered through the mail and had not arrived. So the host, Gene Brockopp, retired psychotherapist, showed his second choice, the movie "Sliding Doors". It was about the choices we make daily and how they effect our future. Each moment we have choices presented to us...sometimes others make the choices for us and other times we allow them to make choices for us. Sometimes we decide to do nothing at all... which is also a choice. But sometimes, the choices we make have life altering effects on us...what friends to have, what school to attend, what vocation to pursue, who to marry, whether to have children, what to do when we retire...on and on...
Tonight I choose to be happy! Choose what is right for you. Marilyn

From the Mailbag:
*So much to read and think about. So wonderful to get this idea to have collect poems, and so much so it been a place to return many times to. My compliments for a place to spend quality time on. Pepita from Sweden

the hard work. Steven of New York

want you to know that your giving of your time (as I have not been doing as of

*Editors Correction...one of last months quotes...
"Whatever your belief, the universe will support and validate that belief by attracting the circumstances, situations, opportunities and people into your life that will reinforce that 'version' of reality." Darryl Anka from Diane Dean White [email protected]
Marilyn, I did NOT send this to you...I don't know a Darryl Anka, but perhaps Bob Johnston on Ripplemaker does. I would never use the word "universe" rather talk about God and what He does in others lives. PLEASE, correct that! Thank you, Diane Dean White
*Editor's Note: Please send in your comments and suggestions...all
welcome.
I made a choice to communicate with you...thanks for sharing. Marilyn
