Are You Awake? 

Do you want to sleep on the job?
Are you lulled into lethargy by lack of stimulation?
Or are you over-stimulated, using numbness and sleep as your defense?
Are you looking for the most comfortable way to live?

Life is fun, safe and easy when I have learned to be happy with what is.
Life is fun, safe and easy when I listen within and follow with full trust.
Life is fun, safe and easy when I let go of making up scary stories and worries.
Life is fun, safe and easy when I free myself of distraction, detours and delays.

Jump in and move through.
Be prepared for the surprises in life by keeping focus.
Clear the fear with instant forgiveness and faith.
Enjoy the ride by expressing fully.
Be peaceful and flow with change.
Immediately forgive any mistakes.
Appreciate everything you value.
Honor all beings and their process.
Heal the past with blessings of kindness.
Respect all life and do no harm.
Pay attention to what you love and what loves you.
Breathe in the Goodness that all ready is.

These are just a few of the reminders to STAY AWAKE!

Loving you, 

Betty Lue

Mother Earth 

Earth Day is officially April 22, this Thursday!

Do we acknowledge the source of sustenance from which we all benefit?
Do you honor what is given to us everyday as the resource of all life?
Do we give homage to what is ours without expectation or demand?
Do we appreciate and bless what blesses us with air, water, food and resources?

Most natural peoples have a full appreciation and respect for the Goodness of the Mother.
Most farmers are truly aware and appreciate the livelihood they receive from the Earth.
Most children find fascination and joy in playing with the many wonders of nature.
Most naturalists are consumed with the privilege of studying the many miracles of the natural world.

So what is it with the rest of us who live mostly inside our four walls, avoiding too much sun?
What is it with modern culture that artificially consumes Vitamin D and uses sun-tanning skin dyes?
What is it with the need to go faster and stock pile excess and use more than we need of everything?
What is it that causes us to take  for granted the bountiful and beautiful gifts of Mother Earth?

Kill bugs with pesticides.
Fertilize overused soil.
Eat radiated and preserved foods.
Drink chemically enhanced water.
Consume animal products .
Eat fast food with loads of fat and sugar.
Raise livestock and poultry treated poorly.
Pay more for the packaging than to the farmer.
Cut down trees to build homes and towns.
Put into our air and water substances that are toxic.

And still we expect the Source of our Good to bless us with abundant Sunlight and endless resources.

A little gratitude goes a long way……..
Let this week be about showing respect and appreciation for our wondrous resource.
Plant a tree.
Pick up trash.
Abstain from the processed foods you know are not the Best.
Say thank you when you prepare and eat your healthy salad.
Truly see and appreciate the budding flowers and trees.
Drive out to the country and watch the birds and wildlife.
Feel joy and wonder at the play of shadow and light.
Take some pictures of all the beauty that you see.

The more we fully appreciate the Abundant Goodness that already is, the more we have.
The more we appreciate, the more we can see and receive.
The more we appreciate, the more we conserve and use wisely.
The more we appreciate, the more secure and blessed we feel.

And so it is that this week, we can truly appreciate the Blessings of Mother Earth.
We are blessed.
Betty Lue

Chorus of Robert’s Song from many years ago.
We thank you Mother for your Love.
We thank you Father for your Light.
We do receive your Blessings.
And we Love You.

Inspiration 

What keeps you going?
What makes you happy?
What fills you with joy?
What spiritualizes your life?

The work in life is to be fully alive.
The work is to live abundantly.
The work is to clear the way to live with Love in your heart.
The work is to live with appreciation and open-mindedness.

What supports you in being fully alive?
What encourages you to play and create?
What gives you the inspiration to live to the fullest?
What inspires you to give freely unconditionally from your heart?

This is how you are inspired.
Everyday in every way fill yourself spiritually.
Everyday in every moment receive inspiration from All That Is.
Everyday in every choice, allow yourself to be grateful.

Being Special comes from loving ourselves especially well.
Specialness is found not in another relationship, but with Love for yourself.
Being Loved the way you want comes only from loving yourself in the ways that are Best for you.
Being Loving is found in living in Love and giving with Joy to all you encounter and all you do.

How can you not be inspired by a life that is inspiring?
How can you not enjoy each moment when your life is filled with inspiration?
How can you get lost when you let the lightheartedness of joy and gratitude lead?
How can you not feel fulfilled when you fill yourself with the Love of doing Good?

Life is meant to be enjoyed.
Are you enjoying the life you are giving yourself?
Do you reach for the sun?
Do you enjoy the flowers blossoming in the spring?
Do you love to see a baby laugh and coo?
Do you remember to bless your food and all those who brought it to your table?
Do you give yourself permission to do what you really want at least an hour each day?
Do you look and in the mirror and like what you see?
Do you value what you have and treat your life with respect?
Do you remember to thank everyone who serves you and helps you?
Do you interact with your family and friends with open love and appreciation?
Do you sing whenever you feel like singing and dance with the wind and life’s changing winds?
Do you love You with a Love that is True always?

I do!
Betty Lue is always Loving You and Me and All!

Loving You 

“Loving You”
This is my customary salutation …. because it is True for me.

I love You.
I love the Essence of You, the Authentic You.


I trust you in your life journey.
I trust you to learn and heal and grow.

I know you change attitude, emotions, awareness, life history, seasons and experiences.
I know you are an ever-changing energetic being who is always evolving.

I free you to be the best you can be in each moment.
I free you from pleasing me.

I encourage you to please yourself.
I encourage you to fully support your purpose in Being.

I celebrate with you your successes.
I celebrate all the learning and growth, service and contribution you are choosing.

I forgive and erase with love any and all mistakes.
I forgive and release our forgetting to be grateful.

I believe in you and your inner peace and possibilities.
I believe you can do whatever you choose with vision and determination.

I perceive you as empowered with the vision of your inner Light.
I perceive you healed, whole and holy, living your Truth.

I respect you for being willing to “go for it”.
I respect the Goodness that you live and give.

I honor the Goodness, Beauty and Love within you.
I honor the creative expressions of Love that you give to our world.

I thank you for being in my life, now and always.
I thank you for Being on this sacred journey with me.

I remember we are all in this together, all One.

I bless you for being the Love You Are.
I bless your life for showing the Way Home.

Loving you,  

Betty Lue

Give Where It Counts 

From the Tao Te Ching
“The way of man is taking from those who lack and giving to those who abound.
The way of Heaven is taking from those who abound and giving to those who Lack.”

If you are lacking, receive from Heavenly Sources.
If you are abundant, give to those who are ready for the blessing.

To pour our energies into getting more has little real lasting reward.
To invest resources and energy on those who truly benefit is a great blessing for all.

Life is a flow of giving and receiving.
To slow the flow with fear and judgment limits what is natural.
To open the flow with freedom and trust allows abundant Goodness.
Give with gratitude and joy and you will receive gratitude and joy in the giving.

To have All, give All To All.
This refers to true giving of Love and Peace, Joy and Freedom, Enlightenment and Vision.
Money provides a temporary experience of comfort, security, food and shelter.
Lasting comfort and security, resting in Eternal Goodness that already is and comes from within.

Consider using your worldly treasures to provide a place of undistracted Peace wherein you can live.
Consider letting the world be your laboratory in which you experiment with how to live at Peace.
Consider allowing the playground of your life to be a place to practice, giving and receiving.
Consider removing all obstacles, fears and doubts to fully being the Love You Are.

April 15 is Tax Day.
How do you tax yourself?
How do you use you self-made taxation? ( “I have to pay for…….:
Are you respectful of all your resources using them for the highest Good?
Have you considered giving a portion of everything you receive to benefit others?

We must learn what we “earn” is our “earnest money”, our investment in the Good we seek in our lives.
We can invest in creating a world around us that supports our highest vision for everyone.
We can build a future for ourselves, our families, our communities and our world that benefits all.
We can share what we have for the Greater Good without losing anything and gaining everything.

Seek within to receive what you have with full gratitude.
See all around you the benefits of the Love You Are.
Enjoy the dividends of your investment in your own Goodness.
Give attention to that which blesses you and blessings will abound.

Whenever I am given the opportunity to give, I ask within : “What is the best way I can love and serve?”
When I have more than enough of anything (wisdom, love, money, ideas), I ask “How can I share this?”
When I share and give, I always receive again that which I have given.
When I am respectful and grateful for what is given and received, I amplify its value and benefit.

And so it is, that I commend you for your true giving nature.
For it is in giving that you receive.

Life is for giving.
You are the Gift.
It is in giving that you realize the gift you are and the blessings you have bestowed.

Loving you, 

Betty Lue

All Good 

Everything Good comes from Good and must return to the Goodness from which it comes.
All Abundance comes from the Universal Abundance Account of Good It Self.
Use it only for Goodness Sake and you will increase your Abundant Flow of Good.
The work is to not divert, block or misuse the Good we receive, as it flows to us and through us.

What does this mean in practical terms?
How does one apply these rather spiritual statements?
How do you receive all Good and only Good?
How can you let go of the past and open the flow to Peace and Prosperity Now?

The process of life is to undo what is not true.
What we believe we will perceive.
If you believe your supply is limited, that is what you will generate.
Believe you wholeheartedly deserve and are grateful for the Good that is yours.

Forgive, erase, clear, undo, release the past, yours and your family systems.
Clear your mind of what you judge to be limiting, lacking and belittling.
Erase what scares and contracts you with fear, so that you can feel loved and open to Infinite Love.
See your inheritance as from The Infinite Unlimited Supply rather than from the limitations of humanity.

To celebrate and appreciate is to increase, invite, enjoy and honor the Good available to All.
To be thankful and to respect what your receive everyday (air, water, earth, food, shelter) is honorable.
To utilize everything for Goodness Sake is to be a conscious and respectful steward of what you have.
When we deny, denigrate, defile or waste the Good that is given, the supply diminishes in our disrespect.

Prepare and eat and bless the food on your table.
Be grateful for the home you live in, the transportation you use, the bed you sleep on, the air you breathe.
Live in gratitude and enjoyment of what you have with respect for its value and you will have more.
Life in judgment, fear and ignoring the blessings you have and they may diminish.

What you value, give attention to increases.
If your intention is on what you don’t have, that too will increase.
To the degree we are focused on Good and only Good, we experience more Good and Only Good.
When we are focused with thoughts and words on bad luck and lack, we experience more of the same.

The white board of our mind is ours to clear.
The inner creative computer can access paths to fulfillment or paths to disaster.
We are at the controls and can choose to clear the fear and choose again for supply.
We are capable of undoing the limiting conceptions and perceptions and creating anew.

Affirmations (to be written and spoken or chanted 20 + times daily, until you clear limiting beliefs)
I know I am Good and I live and give the Highest Good.
Today I fully open to receive All Good and Only Good.
Everyday I choose to use the Good I receive to be used and given for the Sake of the Highest Good.
I am willing to be a channel and a messenger of Good for All, including myself.

Loving You,
Betty Lue

Parenting and Other Attachments 

Written mostly in response to concerns of a mother of older teen.
It also applies to most special “love” relationships.

Attachment is the source of all suffering and disappointment.
Emancipation can be painful when a parent (person) clings or is needy.
Freedom is our natural state.
When we deny freedom to ourselves or others, we are inter-fearing in their flow.

Ask yourself whether you can trust your parenting (relationship) skills.
Ask yourself what you were doing as a teen and throughout your life
Are you projecting your judgments of your choices and behaviors onto others?
How does your past behavior generate your thoughts about your loved ones?
How is your parenting alike or different than your parents?
Most important, ask the loved one what he/she wants her relationship to be with you?.
Ask your loved one what he/she believes they are ready to be responsible for?


Love is freedom, and trust....
Freedom to make choices.  ( For a young child, “Do you want milk or juice to drink?”
For older teen “What time is appropriate for you to be home?”

“Do you see this as the best choice for you?”
For older person, “ What is the best choice you can make in this circumstance?”

Fear is restriction and doubting.
Do you love and want the best for the loved one or are you afraid for him/her?
Trust frees the other to make choices and learn from their choices.
This does not prevent you from giving more information, as does a consultant.

Most of us know the answers to all our questions, when we calm our emotions and are at peace.
We may ask others for agreement on how to let go and emancipate ourselves and others.
We need to forgive our judgments of our own “mistakes” to allow others to make their own.
I trust you have modeled for others how to correct mistakes along the way and to learn from everything.


Most of us are teaching our loved ones what we expect from them (fear might happen).
People often fulfill our fears because we have taught them falsely.
We can teach our loved ones by example to be responsible, to trust themselves and to choose wisely.
We can model trust and freeing ourselves to learn by making our own choices and always learning.

Know I love you and trust in your Love.
I do not trust in fear and self doubt.
I trust in the Truth in you as God and Good for everyone and everything.
“I easily let go and free others to be the best they choose to be.”

Loving you,  

Betty Lue

¤      I love you      ¤
and I know you love me too.

LOVE IS FREEDOM
The freedom for you and I to be who we are.
The freedom to live life as we do.
The freedom to make mistakes and learn from them.
The freedom to express our own truth as we see it.

LOVE IS TRUST
The trust that there is a constant flow of love,
no matter what.
The trust that, in spite of life’s problems,
we believe in and support each other’s right
to live as we choose.
The trust that in adversity,
there is healing and learning and gifts of love.
The trust that under conflict and emotional expression,
there is love

I love you and I trust you.
I free you to be all you are.
