Let Your Light Shine

Did you know that you're a Bringer of the Light? Well, you are! Everyone is! Unfortunately, at times, most of us let our light be covered with clouds.
"How", you might ask, "am I a Bringer of the Light? My life isn't going too well right now and I don't have anything to bring light to anybody." The answer is simple - give something. You always have something to give, no matter what your current circumstances and environment.
One thing you always have to give is your smile. And a smile brings light. A smile brightens up a room. A smile is a frown turned upside down. And best of all, when you give a smile, it not only lights up the world of the person or people you give it to, but it also lights up your own face, and better yet, your own heart.
So be a Bringer of the Light - the Light of a smile. Make someone's day...and you'll surely make your own!
Have a happy day!

Cheers,

"Age is one of my favorite things about you."

Today's blog is dedicated to my wonderful wife, Suzanne (WonderWife, for short). The quote above, "Age is one of my favorite things about you." is from the delightful and very funny movie we just watched, "It's Complicated", with Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. (Recommended viewing for all!)
That sentence stuck with me as soon as I heard it, and it made me realize how much I appreciate the wisdom and experience of age that Suzanne has brought to my life. Some people think of age as just getting old. I think of it like a fine wine - improving with age. And Suzanne continues to improve - and continues to improve my life because of it.
When I look at Suzanne, I see age in the timeless sense of beauty and love, gathering historical moments, forever expanding with the Universe, forever giving, forever caring. That's what age is to me. And that's what Suzanne is to me.
Age can be seen as physical, or it can be seen as mental - but more from the heart than the mind. I choose to see age as the accumulation of wisdom, the continual unfolding of the heart, and the constant expansion of the soul.
Suzanne brings all those things into my life. And that's why age is one of my favorite things about her.
Thank you, Suzanne, for being the ageless, timeless beauty you are. And thank you, God, for sending me my Ageless Angel.

Cheers,
Gareth Marples

A New Beginning

My Dear Readers, today I'm going to wax poetic, so relax and bear with me.

A New Beginning

A new beginning; the time has come
For all to start – and start as one,
To bridge the chasm that seems so wide
And look for the love that’s deep inside.

A new beginning, the one we choose
To overcome the times we lose,
When things go wrong and seem so bad
We hang our heads and feel so sad.

A new beginning is what we need
To start our days with joy, indeed;
To claim the light of shining stars
And bring it home where it is ours.

A new beginning, throughout the ages
Has brought more joy in various stages.
Nights of wars and days of battle,
Explosions made our psyches rattle.

A new beginning is what was sought
With hope for victory when we fought.
Now’s the time we’ve earned the joy –
Smiles for every girl and boy.

A new beginning can start today,
Winding its path and wending its way
Towards the goal of life so grand
There’s nothing in its way can stand.

A new beginning – 2010,
Let’s not look back, for that was then
And this is now with all its promise,
So let’s not be a doubting Thomas.

A new beginning is what we choose,
And life’s for winning, not to lose.
So start your new beginning today
For joy and abundance is here to stay.

Cheers,
Gareth Marples

Contrast

Good Morning, My Friends. Now that I've been officially diagnosed with Asthma, I'm relieved to know at least what I'm dealing with. Now I can comfortably return to a normal lifestyle (with a few minor changes). And that brings me to my topic today - contrast.
Asthma isn't something I wanted. However, for some reason (which I'll find out sooner or later), I've created this situation in my life. So now I know what I don't want. And from that perspective, it's quite simple to move towards what I do want. That's how life works for us all. We see what we don't want and so naturally ask for what we do want. That's how all the contrast in life guides us and directs us towards what we want most in life.
So what do you want? What would you prefer to create in your life? It's as simple as making the choice, based on your observation of the contrast between what you don't want and what you do want.
So decide what you want. Ask for it. Then allow it into your life. And the Art of Allowing is a topic for another day. Look for it soon. In the meantime, have a perfect day amid the contrast of life.

Cheers,
Gareth Marples

Are You Feeling the Cold?

Is it cold enough for you? Many of my readers live in the winter belt, and undergo the annual experience of cold weather. Some of you welcome the cold weather, especially those who enjoy the snow. For those people, may you find many joyous occasions to celebrate your favorite weather conditions.
For those who don't like the cold, like me, then we have to look elsewhere for our warmth. And where else could we find the warmest of feelings than deep down within our Selves - within our Souls.
Those who are enjoying the cold weather, are already approaching their true natural joy, because they're loving what Life is presenting them. For us warm weather lovers, we have to reach a little deeper to find our natural state. But no matter how hard or how easy it is, we always have the opportunity to seek our natural warmth.
So let's move past our current climatic conditions. Let's move beyond the feelings that our life experiences lead us to. Let's choose (and we always have the choice) to feel our natural states - warmth, peace, joy, Love.
May you all feel warm, wherever you go, whatever you do. Because you're all special, and you all deserve it!

Cheers,
Gareth Marples
