For Everyone’s Sake

Drop in on yourself, cultivate nourishment

Become familiar with your amazing richness

Drop regrets and resentments

Drop doubts and limiting beliefs

Create ripples of joy

Share hope and appreciation

Know you are love itself

Infused by the Divine

Dare to live and to give  

Dare to receive, to love and to be

Drop worries and future concerns

Check yourself out, set yourself free

Powerful beyond measure

Liberated from fear and inadequacy

You are more than your history

Much more than you can imagine

You have all you need

What you seek, seeks you

Call it, see it, create it

It will be graciously granted

How you do this

How you will change 

How you will create a life you love 

Will pave the way for others

Soon, they too will drop in 

Nourish themselves, setting themselves free 

Living a life worthy of the divine within them 

A dream life of quality and grace in everyday reality

What’s That Your Signaling

Thinking about you

sending you love

remembering your strength,

your beauty, your creativity

wanting to remind you of your gifts

and the many times you offered them unconditionally

Think perhaps you don’t want to be bothered

acknowledging these things right now

preoccupied with dying

you’re unwilling to accept love or appreciation

signaling me with your eyes and hands

“sit, be silent, forget these things

forgive me, forget me, let me go” 

all very difficult things for me to do

I, who have been so loved and blessed by you

I wish I could relieve your pain

the physical, the emotional, the spiritual

I wish I could set your spirit free

help you ease into the comfort you seek

even as much as I would rather have you stay

I would help you leave, help you to go in peace

Such a dear heart, such a caring loving heart

open to family and strangers alike

you’ve always been there at everyone’s side

easing their pain and offering them love

wish now you could accept as much

and receive from me and all of us present

our gratitude, our love and our appreciation of you!

Dream Builder Vision Workshop

When I taught school I had a BIG RUBBER RULER on my desk 

that read MIS-TAKES.  I’d say to my students, 

“When a ‘mis-take’ occurs ... everyone has the right and the opportunity 

to take it again.”  In my classroom the MIS-TAKES became opportunities 

to redo and renew learnings and discoveries. 

When the phone went “dead” in the middle of our FIRST

Dream Builder VISION Workshop this past Wednesday night, 

Dale and I lovingly embraced that Mis-Take. 

TODAY, we are contacting persons who were on the phone with us 

on Wednesday to thank them for their participation and their patience. 

TODAY, we are also purchasing a conference phone that will keep this 

from happening again. Because this is Memorial Day weekend, 

our phone will arrive by the end of next week.

IF you were one of these folks, please consider re-joining with us 

on WEDNESDAY,  June 4th at 8pm EDT when we do this again 

with more joy and without interruption.  You already have the phone 

and the access code.  If you need that information again or if you are 

new to this call, write to us and we will send you this information. 

Finally, in asking ourselves the bigger question, 

“What GOOD will come of this?”

Here is what Dale and I came up with:

1) “Doing this Dream Builder VISION workshop over again

on Wednesday June 4th, 8pm EDT, will give us the opportunity 

to do it better and it will be FUN”

2) “TRUSTING folks will show up for us 

as we present work we love doing is a good practice” 

3) “This makes a great story to share and enjoy with others”

4) “Perhaps folks on the call this past Wednesday night  

will invite others to join with us on June 4th and help us share

the good news of Dream Building”

Thank YOU, for your support, participation and patience.  

We hope to engage you Wednesday, June 4th, 8pm EDT 

in our SECOND phone Dream Builder VISION Workshop!  

LIGHT, JOY & LOVE,

Nancy & Dale Gallagher

What If

What if instead of complaining, comparing, putting ourselves down

We lifted our spirit and gave thanks for all we’ve got and all we’ve done

What if instead of counting ways to criticize ourselves and finding reasons 

for why we aren’t good enough, we’d consider appreciating and celebrating

who we are and who we are becoming?

What if instead of reciting limiting belief such as, 

“I’m too old, I'm not smart enough, I’m not educated, I’m afraid to fail,” 

We’d detoxify our spirit offering ourselves a dosage of courage, hope and love?

What if instead of hiding in darkness we could walk out into the light

feeling happy about things we’ve done or things we’ve tried to do 

especially when we know when doing them we’ve done our best 

What if instead of blame and shame we’d embrace a new belief

that we are always whole and worthy of love and that our best,

as imperfect as it may sometimes be, is actually good enough

What if we could set ourselves free of "if, when and maybe then"  

what decisions might we be making right now? 

What plan, what spontaneous action or interaction would we allow?

Dream another dream and take steps with confidence and pride

Realize your time is now and that you’ve only just begun

You are the “Godseed,” the same “Godseed’ that is in a blade of grass

caught between cracks of a concrete sidewalk 

That tiny blade of grass that is strongly pulling itself through to the sunlight

You can remain young or you can grow old and die  

You can choose action, interaction and make your dreams happen

You can honor yourself and love who you are

You can realize once and for all, you are the one you’ve been waiting for 

Your time and your day is now, awaken to yourself, awaken to YOU!

Eyes Wide Open

She opens her eyes wide and seems surprised

to find herself still in her bed and at home

surrounded by her family in familiar surroundings

she wonders why God is not hearing her prayer

How could HE not know by now 

that she's been ready for months

Preparing herself and her family for her transition

talking everyone into celebration  

asking us to sing that song, "Don't worry be happy."

She made it to her 95th birthday

she's outlived her parents and her siblings

she's missed her beloved husband for over 20 years

and no one really knows how’s she’s managed 

to handle the pain of the death of her first born son

In her own words, "she's lived too long"

she's been ready for a long time to go home

to join others there she’s loved and missed 

she’s been eager to enter into eternal rest and peace

continuously thanking and blessing those present

she reminds us to be in the now and willing to forgive

to love and strengthen family ties

remembering the importance of togetherness 

and to help one another whenever possible

EYES WIDE OPEN, your mantra lives on in us:

“Forget the past and build a stronger today for yourself 

Know a better tomorrow is on the way for you and for your family 

It’s ok to remember me, but right now, let me go of me and set me free  

Feel joy for me as I journey home reconnecting with those I love 

Know I will watch, pray, bless and love you forever from above.”

Snow

Angels falling all around

white flakes gently touching the ground

each divinely shaped and free to roam

landing softly on tree tops and roof tops

on human heads, shoulders and on the ground

winter's here

get ready to receive

blessings from above

relax

breathe

and feel the touch of God

Go now

walk outside

be healed!

As Only A Loving Mother / Daughter Would

She reaches up from her restraining bed

and pulls me closer to her as best she can

kissing me numerous times on my forehead

telling me how much she loves and cares for me

Kissing me and blessing me as she must have done when I was born

gently touching and holding my face in her hands

her eyes softly gazing into mine and I know

she’s preparing me for her departure

as only a mother could, as only a loving mother would

again and again, kissing and holding my face in her hands

telling me how grateful she is for my birth

preparing me now to go on living without her

smiling at me through her pain

inviting me to smile back at her and not to cry

It’s our last goodbye and we both know it

probably as beautiful as was our first hello

gentle, tender and physically expressive

both of us ever so grateful for this time called life

as only a mother and a child could, as only love would

I’m loving the feel of her hands on my face

her soft lips on my forehead

the air of her breath on my neck

finally both of us smiling, as she lays there dying

I tell her how grateful I am to her, for her love, her life and mine

as only a loving daughter could and a loving mother would

Beyond Best Friends

Beyond best friends

closer than family

your friendship means the world to me

your trust in me

your honesty

your insistence, persistence and loving reassurance

towards my welfare and my aspirations never cease to amaze me

Watching you grow

beyond your own expectations 

no longer surprises me 

as much as it might, at times, 

be surprising to you

For me, you are the promise and the realization

of a beautiful flower blooming in the garden of your life 

Your abandonment of fear and rejection

your appreciation for newness and discovery

your willingness to give and to receive

warms my heart and inspires me

When I think of the future

I laugh, I smile, I’m happy

I see us walking around the lake together

Celebrating graduations

Talking of co-creations

Gathering and enjoying our families and friends

I see us caring and helping one another

in any way we can

Growing deeper, closer and older

in this microcosm of cosmic wisdom

of everyday life and extraordinary possibilities

Dreams

Amazing all that’s happening right now

from life to death mysteries

to everyday possibilities

and it goes on

it flows without effort

it flows where it’s called

it goes without saying

life has a heart of its own

I thought I understood so much

I thought I had figured most of it out

not so fast, I’m reminded, not so fast

another day, another challenge

another opportunity

to get creative and transcend

the issue, the situation at hand

a new friend is made

an old one has died

days and nights

filled with mediocrity

unbelievable pain

absolute beauty

and awesomeness

take it all in

don’t miss any of it

there’s just so much of it
and soon enough

it will all be gone

close your eyes,
sense, experience the gifts

this day brings
breathe in gratitude

recognize who you really are

You are the light source

the wholeness

the beauty of eternal time

the joy of divine love

the genius and the playful being

forever entertaining yourself and life

YOU, always hoping to give or to take in
a good and hopeful performance

coming through and coming home

life goes on with and without YOU

life is as life does

You are the dream
You are the dreamer
You are the dreaming
You are ALL that IS!

Tuesday’s Prayer

Of what I knew there’s so much I did not tell you

not because I didn’t want to tell you

but simply because I did not think of telling you

I did not think of it as important or valid at the time

And I wonder if you too now also wish we both had said more to one another

More of what we knew, our everyday life discoveries, our concerns about our future

Perhaps, like me, you also did not know how much or how deeply to share 

Life flew by quickly and now years since your death

I still find I have so much I want to share with you

So much I wish you could share with me

How well I remember the many times we shared love

times we offered or received joy and appreciation  

times we engaged in life’s joys and celebrations

times we faced sickness, grief and pain together

times we laughed and cried sharing dreams and realities

Tonight in silent communication and in prayer

I‘m asking God to help me get through to you

to help us build a SOUL / HEART bridge 

whereby we could reconnect and communicate  

Tonight I am asking God to grant us a little bit of heaven 

asking HIM to bring us into close proximity 

lovingly gliding us through invisible physical boundaries  

and allowing us to visit and chat for a while

Remembering you tonight, I feel a peacefulness 

a belief that God has already granted me my prayer

and that HIS love is guiding us closer in Spirit time

“SPIRIT” to feel, experience and “see” one another 

“SPIRIT” to honor and to smile with the other

“SPIRIT“ for imaging messages and reconnecting 

“SPIRIT” for loving and giving thanks 

And I must say,

I’m experiencing a smile coming from deep within my heart 

I’m sensing you close to me, feeling your loving energy 

Eyes open or shut, I’m “seeing” our eyes meet 

I’m filled with awe and gratitude for God’s gift to us tonight

while realizing there’s no need for words in our sharing

All is perfect feeling and honoring the loving in our togetherness 

REST IN PEACE, my dear sweet friend

Until we meet again!

Tea with angels

At the moment I started to cry I heard the door bell chime

One angel moved towards me offering me his shoulder and his hankie 

while another walked into my home and proceeded to hug me saying,

“hello, it’s ok, I love you”

Slowly, I regained hope and found myself in my kitchen

having tea with my two highly compassionate angels

This was definitely the universe’s way of reminding me  

I am not alone, there’s strength for me in others who love me 

when I felt weakest, most vulnerable and alone 

a few kind words and some hugs brought me back home 

to my heart and to my senses 

My spirit became lifted and I was able to release and let go 

of that overwhelming pain, fear and confusion holding me captive 

I was able to release, receive and allow in the love of others for me

and slowly I began engaging and responding in present reality 

Hugs, hot tea and comforting words

loving touches helping me to dry my tears  

friendly smiles reflecting back at me

“you’re valuable to us, we love you”

How very nice being rocked, feeling loved  

cradled in caring arms and pampered  

moving gently from darkness into sunlight  

thank you, my angels, for your kind love and loving
because of you I am comforted and I am healed

Today’s Gifts

This morning

I am aware

how blessed I am

how wonderful is my body

and how grateful I am to it

My eyes, my ears, my hands. my face, my torso

my ability to think, to feel and to create my life

how amazingly beautiful is everything

given to me freely

through one act of loving

by two people before me

through God’s grace and design

I exist and can participate daily

in this journey called LIFE

Today, awed and appreciative of all that is

I give thanks as I celebrate my sense of being

deeply honoring the rich Life Source that flows 

through me and everyone and everything around me

Today, I celebrate the earth, the universe, the cosmos

the beauty in the changing seasons

I celebrate that I can entertain the familiar and the new  

the present, the past and the future

I celebrate knowing how blessed and gifted I am

I celebrate how loved I can feel and can be

Today, I celebrate my every BREATH

my pulsating HEART and my LIFE ...

One Answer to Many Questions

What will you gain complaining right now?
Will it end your misery and your pain?
Will it make the hurt, the disappointment go away?
How will more worry grace your day?
Will it change what you’ve already decided you cannot bear?

What about your SOUL, your INNER STRENGTH, your BEAUTY?
Are you remembering them right now?
Will creating less energy and less possibilities prevent your moving forward?
Will this augment or lessen your inner Divine source and power?

Feel for a moment, stop your everyday thinking
Feel from within, invite yourself to acknowledge and to remember
You are a child of God, a child of this amazing Universe
YOU are the Universe and the Universe is in YOU

Your negative thoughts are emerging from a small part of you
Coming from your conditioning, they want to get your attention
Their familiarity feels good, you already know how to feel depressed and bad
They are not about bringing you joy, lessening your fears and emotional pain

Allowing them to take over, to continue their negative chatter
You may cease to be, they have nothing to lose
You may get sick and you may die
For just as you may have already thought, “they’ll bring the death of me”

Put a smile on your face, get happy, get healthy, become inspired
Wake up to that beautiful LIGHT BEING of BLISS that you are
Wake up and allow yourself to feel love and compassion
Remember there’s more to today than that old patterned thinking

Touch, feel the love and the loving in YOU and in others around you
Seek out experiences that emanate caring and loving
Co-Create with God events enhancing joy, bringing out your hope and love
Get rid of thinking pain, place issues and events not worthy of you far away
Move courageously forward, head towards the direction of your dreams
Breathe in the lure of becoming and grow as you will, grow as you must

You know what to do, you’ve been here before
Recognize and realize there’s a much bigger YOU
than that minuscule part that’s unhappy and complaining right now
Bring out past and present images and stories of joy and transcendence
Review desired outcomes and welcome in future dreams

Talking and Listening

Some people think they are very wise 

Sensitive to themselves and others

Honest in their communication

They tell you everything currently happening in their lives

They talk on the phone with you for hours 

Write you lengthy e-mails and share their deepest emotions 

they voice their life disappointments, lost relationships 

heir fantasies, hidden desires and wishes 

PLEASE, try not to INTERRUPT them 

Or get them to STOP TALKING just so

they can LISTEN TO YOU 

What makes you think, 

“It’s your turn or It must be your turn to talk?”

Isn’t listening what real good friends do?

REMEMBER who called first

Who sent the initial e-mail

Feel reassured, they wanted to talk with you 

You’ll be all right, just hold on tight

your past, your present, your future

won’t suffer or be denied

Wait until they are through talking

allow their one more issue and emotion   

Breathe and listen as good friends do  

Realize, after all, they are the ones 

who first wrote or called YOU 

Appreciate the fact that next time

it might be you who’s writing or calling them  ...

The heart of the matter

Do what you mean

mean what you say

keep the heart of the matter

alive and strong

add awareness and trusting

mix in simple acts of kindness

allow love to flow

in the oneness of spirit

eternal flames burn

keeping us warm

as together

we journey

home ...

Inspirational Rain

Woke up this morning to the falling Spring rain
Wondering what this magnificent day will bring
Setting up how I will work and how I will give
Asking God’s blessings in this journey called life

I can today learn, understand and demonstrate
qualities in me harmonious with universal laws
I can today create and experience positive energy
that ultimately brings goodness for me and for others

Connecting, reflecting, correcting and respecting who I am
I welcome today’s goals, dreams and desires
while attentively listening to that small inspirational voice within
as I let go of past doubts and limiting beliefs

I get to choose today the feelings and the experiences
I will greet, meet and serve while actively deciding
which supportive people, places and actions I will attract
that will nourish and cherish me as I reach desired results

With an open mind and a compassionate heart I move forward today
With delight and appreciation I listen and watch as each falling rain  drop
adds its unique sound and substance to a water puddle forming outside

now enticing me to come out, get wet, step in, skip merely about and play
