What if because of my upbringing, I have spent my life trying to be the best child, student, employee, friend, spouse and parent to everyone in my life? What if because I felt that if I did not please you I would die, I know nothing about how to make myself happy? What if it is OK to have chaos around me and be happy doing what I enjoy? What if what I want from you is what I need to give myself first? for Debbie M.

What if I was sitting here sad, miserable and worried and imagined an enormous, cosmic, sparkling, red funnel coming down to my heart and watched it filling me with love, joy and peace? What if my heart overflowed and this energy filled my veins and capillaries until I found myself in a white bubble of joy and happiness?

What if everything we do and say is being recorded and will be played back when we die? What if we are the only judge of ourselves? What if we softened our outlook as we did the best that we could with what we knew at the time?

What if we made an agreement before we came to Earth about what our purpose for the trip would be? What if once we got here we began to have fun and forgot what the plan was? What if it is now time to get back on the original path and focus on why we came?

What if I sat next to you and compassionately asked you how you were? What if you recited all of the miseries and sadness of your neighbors and the car repairman and two actors but did not touch on the true sadness of yourself? What if these others are distractions until you can see inside yourself?

What if my being judgmental of others is a sure sign that I am judgmental of myself? What if I started to be more appreciative of others and became more appreciative of myself?

What if we can die from a broken heart? What if we love another so deeply that we cannot live without them and choose to join them?

What if body pain, cancer and death are all nothing more than experiences we preplanned before we were born? What if we prearranged this for our experience and growth to push us past our beliefs and those of the people around us? What if something good comes out of everything for everyone?

What if when I am on the right path, there is never a question? What if all I need do is focus on my insides for the answers and follow my gut instincts and life will flow joyfully?

Recently my beloved grandson left the planet in an auto accident and he has been communicating with me on a daily basis.
What if the static on the phone or the cigarette odor or the orbs of light floating in the dark room or the cologne smell or the feathers all around or the coins on the ground are all messages from my boy? What if I can now sit with a pen in my hand and watch as he sends messages to my paper? What if this is becoming so prevalent that I am amused by his power of communication and my sadness is lifting? What if he has returned to his normal state and I can walk and talk with him whenever? What if I KNOW that he is OK?

What if everyone I meet can add to my knowledge about me? What if you are sitting next to me and we stare ahead in silence and a piece of me is now eternally lost?

What if because of the new social media, many of us rarely interface with one another but merely text or email or Facebook each other as our primary means of communication? What if because we can edit and delete before we send, the other person never sees the real us? What if when we meet in person, I can see and feel how you really are? What if loneliness is the new common ailment of many?

What if I had the desire to spread some information that I found important? What if I began in my family, then my neighborhood and then my city and then my state and so on? What if I began small and it grew?

What if beings from other planets are here to help us through the next stage of the planet’s growth but we ridicule them as quacks with unbelievable, phony stories? What if they remain calm and loving and continue offering help?

What if I took the time to visualize another person as a rose to get a feeling for how she was doing?
What if she is bright yellow and cheery or wilted in the corner or all alone in the garden or taller and stronger than any other plant or broken in half or exuding a fabulous fragrance or wrapped tightly around a stick or growing there peacefully?

What if the lights are coming on all over our planet and all the little people with little integrity will soon be in the spotlight?
What if they are already like a bunch of cockroaches running about in fear?
What if those of integrity can stand tall and be seen?

What if it is important to remember how we feel when we wake up from a dream?
What if I am the only one who can interpret my dreams as I am the one who knows what each symbol personally represents? What if books and others can guide me and give me their input but the final meaning comes from my inner knowledge?
What if dreams help us balance our day and process our inner emotions?

What if so many young men are walking with their legs far separated to keep their low slung pants from falling down that they are actually hurting the balls of their hips over time?
What if women have done this for years with their high heels and the balls of their feet?

What if I watch how I interact and react with others and see where I am on the anger-frustration-rejection-guilt-fear as well as the joy-love-compassion scale?
What if as I grow, the negative numbers go down?

What if I am struggling to get a loan modification and because I am struggling, the process is giving me a struggle?
What if instead of being frustrated by all the paperwork they require, I found satisfaction in a finished application?
What if instead of worry that I might not get it, I felt appreciation for any money they will help me save?
What if I felt anger at how long this was taking and then realized that everything comes to me at the perfect time?

What if I feel that I have lost something and I search and search for this lost object?
What if because I feel it is lost and focus on lost, the object cannot show up as my vibration is on “lost” and the universe will give me lost?
What if I give up the search and allow it to show up at the perfect time and a bit later it appears?

Is guilt or fear hiding somewhere?

What if I “SEE” you doing something cruel to another person or animal and do nothing about it?
What if I might as well be doing the cruel act myself?
What if there are no coincidences and I would not be shown this act if I were not supposed to react to this cruelty?

What if there are no coincidences and the Universe is working day and night to surround me with things for my highest growth?
What if I meet someone I don’t like – for my growth?
What if I have an unusual experience – for my growth?
What if I begin to listen and smile at the lessons and gifts coming my way?
