Word for the Day: Monday, April 30, 2018

The Word for Today (Monday) is Innocence.  A Transition from Guilt to Innocence?  That's one thing our Court Appeal Processes are about!  But don't forget the other Connotation of Innocence:  "The Innocence of Little Children".

Word for the Day: Sunday, April 29, 2018

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Forgiveness. Asking Forgiveness for my Transitions? Transforming into someone who can be Forgiven? The answers may be quite surprising!

Weekly Themes: Week of 04/29 to 05/05/2018

The Themes for this Week are Transition and Transformation.  Both of these mean Change, but in different ways.  You have a Transition From something To something else.  But you Transform Into something.  It's subtle, but can you see the difference?  Anyway, Transform well.

Word for the Day: Saturday, April 28, 2018

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Authenticity.  An Authentic Project?  (As opposed to a Fake one?  What do you expect:  A "Certificate of Authenticity" for your Project, just like you might get for a Dinner Plate from the Franklin Mint?)  Probably, the best thing to do, at this point, is to forget the Project, and simply, be Authentic unto Yourself!

Word for the Day: Friday, April 27, 2018

The Word for Today (Friday) is Interpretation.  So how do you Interpret a Project?  [And, also]  Can you make a Project out of Interpretation?  (Yes!!!)  And keep in mind, that, more than "just" a Project, Interpretation can become an Awesome Career Choice.

Word for the Day: Thursday, April 26, 2018

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Socialization.  A Socialized Project?  (Wow!)    That said, it's good to Socialize, and even Better to Socialize in Person.   But Facebook Socialization is good, in a crunch.   :-)

Word for the Day: Wednesday, April 25, 2018

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Concentration. "You Complete what you Concentrate on". That is true, whether the Project in question "precipitated from the Sky", or was Self-Initiated. Concentrate well!

Word for the Day: Tuesday, April 24, 2018

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Acceptability. Are you Acceptable to yourself? Do you consider yourself to be Acceptable to those, around you? Are the Projects you work on, acceptable to those, who might come into contact? What does it mean to be Acceptable, anyway? Suitable? Agreeable? See, doesn't sound so bad!

Word for the Day: Monday, April 23, 2018

The Word for Today (Monday) is Generosity. Generosity helps the World go around. And if you are working on a project (whether precipitated from "somewhere", or originated by you, yourself), keep the topic of Generosity, in the Specs. Because the success, or failure of your Project depends, at least partly on the people around you, and you look better, if Generous.

Word for the Day: Sunday, April 22, 2018

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Sharing. And, no matter how your Project began, isn't it Human Nature to want to Share it with others? There may, even be benefit to that, as unexpected help can result. Share and Share alike!

Weekly Themes: Week of April 22-28, 2018

The Themes for this Week are Precipitation and Initiation.  Like three weeks ago, we are back to Projects.  But here, we determine if the Project ¨dropped out of the sky¨ (like rain or snow does), or if it is, voluntarily started.  The Google Definition of Precipitating includes the word, ¨unexpectedly¨, suggesting that your new Project might not have, even been what you wished to work on!  So why not ¨Initiate" some Projects of your own?

Words for the Day: Saturday, April 21, 2018

The Words for Today (Saturday) are Overview and Perspective. A great way to Discover the meaning of a Topic is to get the Big Picture View, or Overview of it. In an Essay, this is often a few paragraphs, near the beginning, labeled the "Executive Summary". This can change your Perspective (or attitude) towards the topic at hand.

Word for the Day: Friday, April 20, 2018

The Word for Today (Friday) is Reflection. Reflecting on a Discovery? [or] Discovering a Reflection? (Close, but these aren't the same). Remember that there are two, main meanings of Reflection: A Process, a bit deeper than Review, or what you see in a Mirror. And don't only look in a Mirror, but also in the "Virtual Mirrors", which people around you can be.

Word for the Day: Thursday, April 19, 2018

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Study.   Discovering a "Study"  (One Definition:  "a room used or designed for reading, writing, or academic work")?   [or]   Studying your Discovery?   (That fits, better, the Spirit of these Words and Themes).   Remember that, based on the "finite time", in a "physical day", you need to be Selective in what you choose to Study!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, April 18, 2018

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Absorption. Discovering that you were Absorbed? (I hope not!) Discovery through Absorption? (Yes, using the tenet: "Keep you Eyes and Ears Open and your Mouth Shut!") I don't always "Announce myself", when entering a Room, unless requested. In the "Michael Teachings" [Google it!], there is "Observation Mode", which is used often.

Word for the Day: Tuesday, April 17, 2018

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Review. Reviewing our Discoveries? [or] Review as *part* of the Discovery process? (In my opinion, both occur). But *do* see the importance of Review in your Life, especially a Review of each Day, which is best performed, shortly before going to bed at night.

Word for the Day: Monday, April 16, 2018

The Word for Today (Monday) is Experimentation. So how does Experimentation connect with Discovery? After you get through the Theory of your Discovery, you want to see if you "got it right". Some people liken Experimentation with Trial and Error, which *can* be correct, but not always. If you have a pretty good idea of what you are looking at, you will design the Experiment, so that you have a good chance of getting it right the first (or second) time. Have fun!

Word for the Day: Sunday, April 15, 2018

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Recognition. Recognize what you Discover? This actually is a great idea. Try it!

Weekly Theme: Week of April 15-21, 2018

The Theme for this Week is Discovery.  So what does it mean "to Discover"?  According to Google, it means to "find (something or someone) unexpectedly or in the course of a search".  So what "unexpected items" are you (we) going to Discover  *this*  week?  If nothing else, I don't expect Boring!

Word for the Day: Saturday, April 14, 2018

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Resolve. "I Resolve to Locate my Resolve"! Oh well: It's been quite a week, hasn't it? Just remember that you can make Resolutions at any time.

Word for the Day: Friday, April 13, 2018

The Word for Today (Friday) is Courage. And yes, I believe it takes Courage to live in certain Locations. For example, do you want to move to Antarctica? How about Death Valley, California? I could go on, but I think you get the point. One thing to remember about Courage, is that the best kind can, at times, be the Courage to say "No"!

Words for the Day: Thursday, April 12, 2018

The Words for Today (Thursday) are Strength and Empowerment. Does your current Location help you to feel Empowered? I'll give a personal example of how Time of Day can make a difference. Several years ago, when I lived in New Jersey, I took a bus into Manhattan's Port Authority Bus Terminal, arriving a little after 5 pm (to attend a concert). At that time, it was "Afternoon Rush Hour" and I felt, not only Empowered, but also completely safe. After the concert, I caught the last Bus back, at 1:20 AM, in the same Location. I felt very "small and powerless"! Fortunately, the bus was on time and I made it home on time. Empower yourself!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, April 11, 2018

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Competence. Are you Competent to live where you are? Most Locations require Competence of some variety, to be able to thrive. For example, she US States of North Dakota and Alaska (as well as others) require the ability to exist in extreme cold, and what that includes (such as Ice, Snow and perhaps Blizzards). Some warmer states (i.e. Florida and Alabama) have regular Hurricanes and Tornadoes. So be Competent!

Word for the Day: Tuesday, April 10, 2018

The Word for Today (Tuesday) is Endurance. So what does Location have to do with your Endurance? Think about it: Would you rather Endure a day at, say, Disneyland, or a Day inside a Volcano? Or how about a Day in Australia verses a Day in Antarctica? Or a Day in Death Valley, California verses a Day in San Francisco, California? You get the picture?

Word for the Day: Monday, April 9, 2018

The Word for Today (Monday) is Fertility. Location is important with this, also. Quite literally in fact, when we look at the "usual connotation", as people have been arrested for "Being Fruitful, with the intent to Multiply" in public places. Stay home for this! But always keep in mind the other connotations, of our Word. For example, I recommend developing and maintaining a Fertile Imagination.

Word for the Day: Sunday, April 8, 2018

The Word for Today (Sunday) is Stability. Do you live in a "Stable Location"? (Not all people do and I feel for you if not). But is Stability the "End All"? Seeing that it's only the Word for Sunday, not necessarily. (For example, I like a bit of Adventure every now an then). But it's at least important enough to keep in mind.

Weekly Theme: Week of April 8-14, 2018

The Theme for this Week is Location.  Location, Location, LOCATION!  But where are we, anyway?  We typically reside in a town or city.  If we are in the United States, the next level up, is typically a County.  Usually, there is a State or Province, before we get to a Country.  There may, or may not be a "collective of Countries" like, for example, the European Union.  Then (usually in order), a Continent and Hemisphere, before we all get to be Citizens of Planet Earth.  But that's not all!  Because we belong, in order, to a Solar System and Galaxy (ignoring what we learn from, say, Star Trek, where the Galaxy is sub-divided into Quadrants).  And then, we complete this thought experiment by belonging to "the Universe".  Right?  Not necessarily, especially if you follow the Multiverse Theory of Quantum Physics!  So Location is a bit more complex than you thought.  Have fun!

Word for the Day: Saturday, April 7, 2018

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Release. Release *from* completing a Project? (Sometimes, especially if the Project is deemed to be bad, in some way). [but] Release *by* completing a Project? Indeed, what a wonderful feeling this type of Release can be! Because over the years, I have found that I find it easier to initiate a Project, than to complete one.

Word for the Day, Friday, April 6, 2018

The Word for Today (Friday) is Aspiration.   "I Aspire to use my Imagination, to help me to create the best Composition I ever have".  Okay, you don;t have to go *that* far, but you get the idea!    :-)

Word for the Day: Thursday, April 5, 2018

The Word for Today (Thursday) is Contrast.  And yes, every good Composition should have Contrast in it, lest it get Boring.  But don't Imagine *too* much Contrast, or else people might get frightened!

Word for the Day: Wednesday, April 4, 2018

The Word for Today (Wednesday) is Adaptability. Also known as Flexibility, this can be helpful in many ways, including with any Projects you may be working on, especially if they are Imaginative ones. Why? Because Imagination works better, if you are Flexible about where it takes you. For example, an Inflexible person may use Censorship on their *own* Imaginative output, by disallowing certain topics that might come up. You don't want to do that!

Words for the Day: Tuesday, April 3, 2018

The Words for Today (Tuesday) are Agility and Grace. An Agile Composition? [or] Graceful Imagination? (Both can work). I've brought this up before, but I still get questions about it: "How do you develop and maintain Agility and Grace?" A couple of things come to mind, especially Yoga. But also, you might want to Google "Walking the Labyrinth". (Hint: You don't rush through one of those!)

Word for the Day: Monday, April 2, 2018

The Word for Today (Monday) is Acceleration. Accelerated Compositions? (Maybe) [or] Imagining yourself Accelerating? (Sure...) Now, if you learn Time Management, and apply yourself to that Composition mentioned earlier, there's no reason it can't completed faster. These things can work. But one note of caution: Excessive acceleration of motor vehicles can result in Speeding Tickets.

Words for the Day: Sunday, April 1, 2018

The Words for Today (Sunday) are Patience and Tolerance.  And some of these projects (whether dropped from the sky, or imagined into existence, take patience to complete.  And the result may not be, exactly as originally thought of, which requires tolerance.  Have fun with your projects!

Weekly Themes: Week of April 1-7, 2018

The Themes for this Week are Composition and Imagination.  These are not the same, though there are similarities.  They are both ways that a project can begin.  A Composition is typically assigned by someone else, such as a teacher, who often sets the topic.  But if a project begins as a burst of Imagination, that makes it quite personal.  That said, the next set of steps are the same:  The steps that lead to the completion of the project.  And, either way, the details are up to you!

Word for the Day: Saturday, March 31, 2018

The Word for Today (Saturday) is Acknowledgement. Balanced Acknowledgement? [or] Acknowledging Balance? (Better). But I *do* Acknowledge the importance of a Balanced Life, as well as all people who helped me to achieve it. For Balance is the key to an effective life, as well as an effective world.
