I’ve been on a luscious 6 week break, to give myself time to recharge and reset. During that time, I’ve transformed my chaotic office into a peaceful and Zen work space.
As I sorted through papers that were sitting on my desk, I came across a letter that had been sent to me many years ago. This friend had compiled inspirational messages and sayings that he thought I would enjoy reading. For many of them, the author is anonymous, but the truth can be heard between the words. Enjoy!
Intuitively pick a number between 1 and 9, and see which inspirational saying and oil blend is choosing you today:
1. No one has the authority to hate another or to condemn him.
You have a choice – to love and serve him, or to keep yourself free from him.

3. If a man does not keep pace with his companions,
perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.
Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away.

8. I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year:
“Give me a light that I may tread softly into the unknown.”
And he replied: “Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God.” That shall be better than light and safer than a known way.
– from King George VI’s 1940 New Years’ Message
Oil Blend: Surrender
