In this month’s topic, we will explore: What is Peace? How to cultivate Inner Peace, Peace with others, Peace in community, and Peace on Earth--and truly put the “Peaces” together in order to Rise Up and BE the Peace we see in the world.

As we continue our journey through a grand rising, this month we bring our focus to our beliefs about perfection. Actually, we are bringing our attention to imperfection. We all know the phrase “practice makes perfect.” But, here is the thing… it doesn’t!

As spiritual beings we are made all-inclusive through the creativity and abundance of God. At the center of our core is every color of the rainbow. We all come equipped with a color-filled palette at the core of our being, with all colors, shades, and hues.

Higher heights take us higher than where we are right now. We can’t lift our vision and expectations with a downward gaze. We must elevate our vision upward, beyond the clouds, beyond the stars, beyond the rainbow to rise to higher heights.

If we believe in something so deeply and we decide to pursue it, we may feel a sense of freedom to accomplish it. There are no limits or barriers that can stop us. We feel like nothing is holding us back, and we are unbounded and unstoppable to express and manifest life’s creativity.

Have you ever been on fire about something and NOTHING could convince you otherwise? Where did that fire come from? As you reflect on it now, can you feel the fire and passion welling back up? Our imagination and recall can bring it and the drive behind it back to us again.

We can choose to live large or small. Our experience is a reflection of that choice. Today is an opportunity to make any necessary adjustments to achieve a different outcome in life.

Vision is a companion to self actualization. A vision allows us to know who we are and what we can create together. This self-actualization, when embraced from a larger perspective, involves creating supportive spaces that honor and encourage the authenticity of others.
