“Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.” -Wayne Dyer
Live every MOMENT fully! I was pondering what the most important moment in my life has been and the constant response is the only moment there truly is, THIS ONE! As I write this edition I am doing it with presence and love. As you read this notice the beauty of life that is around you right now. I am at peace because I am here with you truly living for right now, this day, this moment.
A good friend of mine used to call me and remind me to live in and for this moment. When I would answer the phone he would ask, “Where are you, what time is it?” At first I would always say the place I was and look at my watch for the time. After some loving coaching he directed me to a slightly different answer, “I am here, it is now.” This has become a mantra in my daily life to keep me here and now. What that reminder can easily do is bring me back from the mental time machine that takes me to yesterday’s faults and tomorrow’s foes. When I am in this moment nothing else could ever matter and my life is once again changed.
Affirmation: In this moment I am one with all there is. I feel peace and love knowing that I am here and it is now!
Call to Action: Set some reminders throughout the day to ask yourself and your fellows if you are bold enough, “Where are you, what time is it?” Share with us how your life is changing in this moment. Thank you for being such a great part in my moments.

Excellent reminder of where our power is – in the here and now. It is interesting to me that I was thinking about this topic last night. That I was okay – right then – and need not worry about what was next or where I had been. Reading your post this morning is the 2nd message that I have received. It is time for me to pay attention.
The here and now!!!! I do so much better today not to live in the past or leap to the future – but this reminder is always needed…..
