Life Packaging

We’re spiritual beings living in a human body, even though our packaging seems different, we’re very much the same.

We have all had the experience of encountering someone whose life seems so completely different from ours that we can almost imagine we have nothing in common. However, if we go deeper into observing, we will see that we all have the same things going on in our lives. It is as if our different lives are in essence the same gift, wrapped in an infinite variety of containers, wrapping paper, ribbons, and bows. Everybody experiences loss, grief, happiness, excitement, anger, and fear. Everyone can have money issues of one kind or another, and everyone struggles with difficult choices.

Our lives show up differently for each one of us because we each learn in different ways. One person may need to learn the value of money by having too little of it, while another may need to learn by having more than enough. We each learn about work and love, with experiences that are tailored to our particular perspective. Even as it appears that some people have it easy while others are in a continual state of struggle, the truth is that we are all learning, and it is very difficult to tell, when looking only at the exterior of a person, what’s going on inside.

This is one of the many things that can be so valuable about cultivating relationships with people from all walks of life. As we get to know those who seem so different from us, we get to really see how much of life’s challenges and joys are universal. We begin to look beyond the packaging of skin color, clothing preferences, and socioeconomic differences, hairstyles, and the cars we drive to the heart of the human experience. It is important to honor and value the differences in our packaging, but it is just as important to honor the gift of life inside each one of us, and the fact that, no matter how different the packaging, the gift inside is the same. ✨✨

@kittengirl,

Good morning in California be safe with your family. Kitten sending kitty hugs to you and
the kitties. ✨✨

@shoelady60,

Good day in the ‘burgh. ✨😘I am glad your Hockey Team is winning.

How are things today? I believe your area is colder than OZ. Yikes!

Stay nice and warm. ✨

I am about to make another donation to Goodwill I have been working on various areas
of my house and it is a big house. I try to give what people really need like blankets, coats,
etc.

Blowing a kiss at Jake’s Canvas. 😘✨I miss him too.

How are the birds in your birdhouse? ✨

@71flowerchild,

Good day in Texas I am a wee bit concerned now about you and the family. I hope all
is well. Just drop a short line if you can. Give Jewell and Little D a nice OZ pet. 😘✨

@taci,

Good morning in S. California and may this week be safe for you and your family. ✨
I say this with concern as the new variant is getting to almost everyone even if they
have been vaxed. I would like to see it just go away. So far my family is alright just
weary but safe. 💕

I hope you and yours can enjoy the snow trip. Taci I am thinking of your mother. 💕😘✨

If you see this cutie along the way just smile. Happy Trails to you. 🎶🎶

@oodiebom,

Good day on the Gulf Coast. 😘😜I almost passed out when you wrote you had the A/C
on in the kitchen. I had the heat on it’s like we live in different worlds. 😜

When we are playing Trivia I have to be aware that when you say 10:00 question it is only
9:00 in OZ. I am an hour behind you and Taci and the girls in Cali are two hours behind you.

The time zones can be crazy. 😜Anyway OZ has sun today so it’s not so bad. WE do have
things coming later in the week.

Oodie I know everything looks nice in your home. I can’t believe you have two more homes
to do again one day. 💕How is your husband doing today? I do hope he finds his important
things. This too shall pass.

@xango,

Good day in Sunny Florida. ✨Well OZ has some sun and I will take it. 😎

What’s cooking today? It’s nice you can go to your freezer and heat something
great to eat. 😜I made hubby leftovers for his lunch at work he loves it. 💕

Here’s to a great week. 😘😎

defg,

Good morning in Maryland may this week be a good one for you and hubby. ✨
