…one must be able to follow.
During the years when I was a frequent ashram denizen, I was privileged to offer hours of selfless service. Selfless service was defined as an offering without attachment to the results. So whether it was my responsibility to wash the guests’ bedding, clean the bathrooms, chop vegetables, or lead an evening program, I immersed myself in the service to the very best of my ability without expectation of acknowledgment or reward.
Although these tasks might seem routine and mundane, I always benefited from even the briefest stint as apprentice. All these many years later, I’m still able to fold bedding into neat packets without assistance,Β and public speaking holds no terrors for me because I was instructed to imagine I was offering the most delicious plate of chocolate chip cookies fresh out of the oven!
If a brief training in folding sheets has stuck with me and helps keep my linen closet neater all these decades later, imagine the benefits we would all reap with a more willing apprentice in the oval office.
A great message here! I agree with you 100%. Your messages are always good.π
Thanks, Cheryl. I like being the messenger! π xoxoM
Cool!
I hope it doesn’t stay a wishful thinking π
With this occupant, I feel it will remain wishful thinking. Nonetheless, I’m willing and able to stand in my own power and hold Love and Light for All. π xoxoM
That’s good to know βΊοΈ
I love this, it’s very inspiring!! π
Ah…good! Love to help! π xoxoM
Very interesting to learn about your time at an ashram. Thank you for sharing this, and for sharing the chocolate chip cookie idea. I have a fear of speaking to a crowd. That is a good thought to remember.
Remember, Lori, we are all, and each, perfect expressions of the One. With this in mind, talking to a crowd is, in Truth, no different than talking to your Self. The difference comes into play when perceiving the crowd as the Other. π xoxoM
The current occupant is a taker. He has taken his entire life and continues to do what he knows best.
That’s been my observation over the past forty years! π xoM
i’d feel better believing

LOL! At least I know how to do it! π xoxoM
