Adding humor to our life is a wonderful way to bring in more balance. Seeing the amusement in even the most challenging aspects of life lifts our spirits.
Having a change in perception is the result of adding humor to our life. Instead of seeing the glass as half empty we see the glass as half full. This has a positive ripple effect in other areas of our life.
Growing up as the youngest and only girl with 4 brothers in a lower middle income family in the Bronx was not easy. Gang wars took place at night in our neighborhood. My brothers were consistently adding humor to our life by cracking jokes about everything.
Laughter is what got our family through the hard times. From their humor I learned to not take myself too seriously and to look at the brighter side of life. That is why I felt uplifted being around my brothers. Now I continue to focus on adding humor to our life at home with my husband and with our adult children.
Funny Prayers
In preparing for this article I came across these funny prayers. Hope you find them humorous, too. Enjoy!
"Dear God,
So far today, I've done OK. I haven't gossiped, or lost my temper. I haven't been greedy, crabby, mean, nasty, selfish, bitchy or overindulgent.
And I am very grateful for that.
But dear God, in a few minutes I'm gonna get out of bed, and then I'm probably gonna need a lot more help.
Amen"
"Dear God" by The Great Cosmic happy-Ass card Company http://www.greatcosmichappyass.com/index.htm
"Dear Lord,
Help me to relax about insignificant details, beginning tomorrow at 7:41:23 a.m. EST.
Help me to consider people's feelings,even if most of them are hypersensitive.
Help me to take responsibility for the consequences of my actions, even though they're usually not my fault.
Help me to not try to run everything - but, if you need some help, please feel free to ask me.
Help me to be more laid back, and help me to do it exactly right.
Help me to take things more seriously, especially laughter, parties, and dancing.
Give me patience, and I mean right now!
Help me not be a perfectionist. (Did I spell that correctly?)
Help me to finish everything I sta
Help me to keep my mind on one thing ... oh, look, a bird ... at a time.
Help me to do only what I can, and trust you for the rest. And would you mind putting that in writing?
Keep me open to others' ideas, misguided though they may be.
Help me follow established procedures. Hey, wait ... this is wrong ...
Help me slow down andnotrushthroughwhatido.
Thank you, Lord.
Amen "

For more than 28 years I have been helping many people from all walks of life and across the world, including India, China and England. Some clients prefer to come see me in person for an Intuitive Reading. However, the majority of my clients call me for phone sessions.
Intuition is unlimited as God is unlimited so it doesn't matter whether you are in the same room with me or in Hong Kong! My intention is the same - to serve as a channel of clarity and healing to assist you in all areas of your life. Doing this work makes me truly happy and I blessed to be able to help people and do what I love.
When you set up an Intuitive Reading in Seattle or a phone session with me, it's best to write down your questions ahead of time. This helps focus your intention on what it you want guidance for in your life.
At the beginning of your Intuitive Reading, I go deep into a meditative state and ask Spirit to allow me to be a clear and pure channel of love, healing and guidance for you. The answer to each question flows through me in words and pictures and the information received is spiritual in nature, yet practical for every day life.
I encourage all of you to:
Live your true potentialr
Feel your own wholenessr
Experience inner peace and joyr
Express your creativityr
Be who you really are- perfectly human and perfectly Divine
