September 2021 Theme – A Life that Works Without All the Work

by millig2 · August 27, 2021

This Labor Day month we will take a fresh look at creating a life that works without all the hard labor. When we live from certain spiritual principles, apply certain spiritual practices and then leave the rest to the Divine, life really can flow with ease and grace. Each week, we look at this idea from a different angle and learn how to create a life that works without all the work!

September 5 – Celebrating Un-Labor Day
This weekend we celebrate Labor Day, a day set aside in the United States to honor the American labor movement and the contributions that workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of the country. Monday is a day off from that labor, a day to rest and rejuvenate. What if we rested from labor all the time and yet still contributed to the strength, prosperity and well-being of our own lives and the lives of others? Be with us today and find out how.

September 12 – Be the Change
“Be the change you wish to see in the world” is regularly attributed to Gandhi. But, did he really say it? And if he didn’t say it, what did he say? And what does it have to do with us, anyway? Today, we take a deep look at Gandhi’s real words that inspired this very famous quote and find a rich, new meaning for it, one that moves us to a new level of awareness of how we can easily and gracefully walk in this world.

September 19 – Say ‘Yes’ to what W.O.R.K.s
What are you saying “yes” to in your life? It may surprise you to know that you say “yes” to a lot more than just what you would consciously choose to have in your life experience. Today, we say yes to the qualities that W.O.R.K. together to create a life of fulfillment.

September 26 – Creation Rather Than Control
TRUTH: The Universe is a whole lot smarter than you might think. TRUTH: Creation is much more fun than control. Based on these two TRUTHS, today we complete our month focusing on “A Life that Works Without All the Work.”

December 29 – Love Is…We have been trained to live from a place where we play silly games to keep others’ opinions of us high. In doing so, we become so busy in living for the acceptance of others, that we forget to live for ourselves. Put another way, we are in a constant state of calling out for love. But when we are calling out, we cannot truly, deeply BE the love that this world so desperately needs us to be.
