I had to share this from a great Master instructor that I look up to. Thank you Tom Callos for this daily inspiration:

I must warn you (I say to myself), be very careful who you spend time with in your life, as some people bring with them a level of negativity and negative things that can end up taking the shine right off of your shoes.

Avoid people who hate. Avoid people who see other people as their enemies. Spend time with enlightened, loving, gracious, compassionate people. Fill life with art, literature, music, and with laughter, with wisdom. Avoid negative attachments. Look, always, to the light. Seek to heal. Let go of your ego, if and when you can.

I say these things to myself, today. Am I going to be (act like) a master --or will I just pretend to be (act) like one?

Anger is an acid that does more harm to the vessel it is contained in than anything it is poured over.

Excited to be at my Meridian academy today!!!

Just a quick reminder: Class will resume today January 2nd in Star and Meridian @ 5:30. See you there!
