It started off as a favor, “Can I bring my puppy, Baxter to work today?” And in the days that followed, everyone kept asking, where is Baxter? So he started making an appearance at the office a few days a week. Now, I can’t leave home without him. He knows the morning routine and as soon as he hears the car keys, he is waiting at the door. When we get to the office, he makes a bee line into every office to see who is here. He greets you as if he has never seen you before, so excited and happy, it can’t help but put a smile on your face. I mean seriously, do you get greeted by anyone in your office with such positive energy? The difference in the office atmosphere when Baxter is here, is incredible. The moral is much higher, the motivation of the sales team has increased and the boss is much calmer. But beware when you enter, he we might look cute and sweet but he will surely greet you at the door with a loud excited vocal bark and crazy twitching tail. And be cautious of where you step as the office floor is now covered in toys and treats. We are not sure who has more fun, the employees playing catch on breaks, or Baxter chasing the balls or toy squirrels up and down the halls. When things are busy, he knows to lay low, but when it’s time for Lunch, you better watch out, he will be glued by your side. When tension in the office gets high, Baxter will zero in on you and demand your attention, as if he knows petting him, will soothe the mood and ease the tension. It is a win win for us all. He might not be a “Certified Therapy Pet”, but in our office, he most certainly deserves the title of “Therapy Pet”.

For the Lord has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his suffering ones. (Isaiah 49:13)
We call upon God whether we want guidance or reassurance for a decision, comfort for a loss, or encouragement for a new endeavor. Any anxious thoughts or feelings fade away as we rest in the indwelling Spirit that has always been and will forever be our everlasting source of comfort.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds.
I center myself in the peace of God within. The light of God burns brightly within me and I direct it toward my loved ones like a flashlight beam. Energized by appreciation for the people who have blessed my life, I shower them with love, peace, light, and appreciation.
I hold to the Truth that my loved ones are always enfolded in God’s love. As I pray, I affirm their needs are met already. I rejoice knowing they are discovering their own indwelling divine nature.
They have everything they need. With a grateful heart, I release any doubts or concerns. My dear ones are divinely guided, supported, and loved in everything they do.

When we resist indulging in a self-centered view of the world, we can replace it with a worldview that takes every living being into account. – Dalai Lama
No one is truly alone in this world. We are all dependent on others. The food we eat, the houses we live in, the clothes we wear, are all provided through the hard work and contributions of others.
We are interconnected with all beings, as I realize I begin to appreciate their presence. I am able to feel empathy for others, be kind, caring, and supportive. I look beyond myself and am compassionate toward anyone who is going through a loss, a challenge, or needs a listening ear. As I practice empathy, I live with an open heart and offer a helping hand.

Teach me your way, o lord and lead me on a level path. (psalm 27:11)
We are a student of life and God is our teacher. Our Divine Teacher instructs us in all we need to know at the right time. The course of study is lifelong, sure and true. Let us embrace the joy and fulfillment of learning. When a life lesson comes, take time quietly and listen to our divine guidance. Open our hearts to the still, small voice and ask what path to follow, and what we need to learn. As we listen within, we hear the words “This is the way.” We are gently guided to our highest good. As we recognize and understand our lesson, give thanks for our growth. For we are never alone, our Divine Teacher is always with us.

Now that you have purified your souls by your obedience to the truth so that you have genuine mutual love, love one another deeply from the heart. (1 Peter 1:22)
I am grateful to belong to my community. By attending church events, sporting events, or charity fundraisers, i connect with others. But true community does not depend on shared activities or beliefs, kinship with others is God-given. Through prayer, I remember our innate oneness with all people. In the Silence, we enlarge our sense of community. It then deepens feeling of kinship by participating in organized prayer efforts whether for local or global causes or simply pray for everyone who is suffering. My heart overflows with love for others, which comes from God. I rejoice in my bond with all of humanity.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do with your might. (Ecclesiastes 9:10)
Any type of work can be constructive and worthwhile. Any activity is satisfying when it is a labor of love. As we keep a spiritual perspective and mindful awareness in all that we do, our workday is rich with opportunities for personal connection and spiritual expansion.
Martin Luther King Jr. said, “All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance.” With spiritual awareness, any type of work can be done in a way that expands one’s consciousness and uplifts others.
Our DAY IS RICH WITH OPPORTUNITIES FOR SPIRITUAL EXPANSION AND SERVICE.
