I’ve just returned from a wonderful trip to San Francisco. What an incredible city, with so many fabulous people, places and curiousities to discover!  Something I love about this city of rolling hills and vivacious cultures is the knack of the individuals who live there to express themselves as the unique and beautiful beings they are.

It was also great to see the play, “The Tale of the City” and recognize the significance of Armistead Maupin’s work and how he taught people to accept individuals who are different from themselves. The most unique thing about us is our uniqueness, imagine everyone accepting this reality? Imagine everyone living a prosperous life due to their acceptance of their own worthiness and right to be.

Only listen to those people in your life who encourage you to be you, to take risks and understand you can be anything. Your dreams are waiting on you to come true.

I was reminded of a saying you may know – it’s a slight variation on a more popular prayer:

God, grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change,
The courage to change the one person I can,
And the wisdom to know that person is ME.

I love this, because it’s brings a little humor to the reality of GRACE. Be still and know I AM.
In the midst of the bustle of the day, a family gathering, a workplace challenge, we have the grace to know we can be still. And in being still, we open ourselves to a higher wisdom.

In How to Speak Unity, I wrote as part of the word BEING:

“In the space of stillness, we are able to relax and let go. There is tremendous power in letting go of what could be, for it is then we are able to accept what is. Somewhere between the thoughts of what could be and what is, there is usually a more perfect solution waiting to be birthed. Our greatest insights come from stillness.”

When we’re facing a challenge, question or conflict, our own GPS (God Personalized System) will guide us.  It’s wonderful to receive good advice from trusted friends, and it’s miraculous to know we have our own best friend within. When we listen, we know. When we know, we can be sure and trust ourselves to express ourselves as the unique and beautiful beings we are!

Wishing you a beautiful and expressive summer,

Temple

I am so excited about our lives!

As I think of and thank for the incredible blessings all around me, I know that it’s through this excitement we’re telling God, ‘Yes!’ When we’re excited for the people, places and things filling and fulfilling our daily journeys, have you noticed how many more rush in?  Our good comes when and by the measure of our gratitude and enthusiasm in receiving it.

I know this is true as I experience it more each day.  How excited I am about my life is directly reflected in the level of excitement Life responds to me.

I recently had the honor of receiving a new tool from an incredible teacher and healer to start and end the day with this excitement and gratitude. It’s simple, yet profoundly sets the tone every morning and ties a nice bow of thanks to the wonder of life every evening.  I want to share it with you.

As we wake every morning, we focus our first thoughts on receiving good, allowing the magnificence and joy which is ours to receive to come.  We can do this with a single word, a physical expression of openness.  By opening our mouths wide and saying “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!” several times, we tune our prosperity consciousness, much like a tuning fork helps tune a fine instrument. In the evening, while reviewing the good we did receive (whether big or small), we open our hearts and with thanks say “Ohmmmmmm.”  These two words are guides to receiving and recognizing Good. Try it for one week, and watch the adjustment your soul makes!

And in sharing some good — I’d love for you to join me this Wednesday, June 1st as I make my debut appearance on national tv! Lifetime TV invited me to appear on The Balancing Act, a show dedicated to empowering women. What an incredible experience this has been!

Please sign up to receive my newsletter, “The Greatest Moment” and weekly updates to receive the current guest list for my radio show on Unity FM, latest speaking engagements and so much more!   (Sign up here!)

As we enter June and approach summer, I am wishing you bountiful blessings and the joy of receiving your Good!

I am so excited about your life!

Loving Life,

Temple Hayes

What a incredible life we’re living!

I am so honored to be in touch with all of the people in my life, ready and dedicated to move from Good, to AMAZING!  With that simple change in mindset, we allow God’s blessings to rush in.  I’m certain, when we open our hearts, eyes, minds and arms to the beauty and wonder Life has in store for us, it pours in through every opportunity!

In the past six months, my life has been filled with riches – new friendships, deeper relationships with current friends and family, and a wealth of opportunities to share the message which is mine to give; this IS the greatest moment you and I have ever lived. It’s hard  (but not impossible) to capture all the detailed miracles I’ve found and others have shared in this time – and I encourage you to read more about them in my newsletter, The Greatest Moment – you can sign up on my new website www.templehayes.org.

Life is meant to be lived fully and joyfully, richly and abundantly, playfully and enthusiastically — and I know you’ve each had those many moments as well. Perhaps a new love has entered your life, a new spouse or partner, a new child with eyes of wonder, love and acceptance, a new and fulfilling job – or just as significant, the knowing that your current position has fulfilled its time and newness is coming your way!  How we look at the transitions within our lifetimes, helps us in moving from good to an amazing space. AMAZING — saying it aloud reminds us to really SEE what’s around us, the many blessings so bountifully spread for us to pay attention to and treasure, to be AMAZED by!

In my new book, How to Speak Unity, I talk about blessings and how ‘each time we bless anything, we acknowledge God’s presence in everything.’  That’s so powerful to me, knowing that by honoring even the smallest things in my life, I am living large!

And so with a new website, a new book, a new radio show on Unity.FM, new tv media appearances just around the corner, I know it’s not the sum of these wonders that makes life so rich…it’s the small steps, the kind words, the moments friends offered help or suggestions, the gestures of love and gratitude that give such power to blessings in our lives!

It simply makes us want to sing the song aloud, ‘Thank God, for being God today!’

Loving Life,

Temple Hayes

Temple’s message begins at about the the 7min 20 sec mark. Now if you skip to that you will miss a wonderful mediation by Russell Heiland. Mediation helps us connect to the power within that is the Source of all.

Temple delivers powerful guidance in this message on Easter 2010. Now before you click off thinking Easter is over I suggest you grab paper and pen and have your mouse handy to pause while you take notes. There is a bonus…you may want to have a tissue handy. No she doesn’t make you sad …quite the opposite. When you hear her reference the park …fasten your seat belts.

If not now, When?

My belief about life has become a true passion for me in this lifetime. I believe that we are born with this amazing energy by the very nature of our being and when we die we are suppose to have as much energy if not more than we were birthed with.

This belief unfortunately is not supported by the masses. The masses teach us what to think rather than how to think for ourselves. The Fillmores, Mary Baker Eddy, Ernest Holmes and so many other New Thought Leaders almost doubled their life expectancy! It is up to all of us to be role models during a time when so many people are told what to do and what to believe. The Unity message is a message of life and rejuvenation!

The masses also teach us that every event in our lives takes more and more of ourselves away. We are taught that by the time we are a certain age, we will be very old, we are taught by some of our communities that we will die at about the same age in which our parents died or our families died. We are taught in some environments by the time we are 40ish or 50ish that we will be tired, we will be old and it is too late to dream or create or to thrive. You can see on every television channel at any given time the promotions of what you need to do for your heart and the medication you need to take to be energized or less depressed or how to replace hair or to take it way. It is one thing to be proactive and make wonderful choices in our lives which will support our youthful energy and vitality, it is another when we are coming from the energy of avoidance.

Anytime, we take action based upon a choice of avoiding or not wanting something to happen, we are bring the lower vibration of what we do not want to happen into our creativity. We as a culture avoid the idea of death so much that we do not understand from the avoidance of dying, many of us never live. Dying is natural, not living is not.

How many couples do you meet who have been together for 30, 40 or 50 years that you would actually like to model, very few? Most of them come from the paradigm that they actually survived each other all those years, rather than each and every year, having a ceremony and asking one another, how can I support you this coming year in being the best individual possible. How magical a relationship would be with another adult if each person knew it was their God duty to support the other one with being their authentic self..

The song, Hokey Pokey speaks to me as I create an image of you put your left foot in, your put your left foot out, you foot your left foot in and you shake it all about, you do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around, that’s what it’s all about. What about, you put your whole self in, you put your whole self out, you put your whole self in and you shake it all about…what would happen if you put your whole self in?

Charles Fillmore said when he was 93 years of age, “I fairly sizzle with zeal and enthusiasm and spring forth with a mighty faith to do the things that ought to be done by me.”

As you enter this year of 2010, if not now, when? Are there things in life that ought to be done by you.

It is my knowing for you that this will be your best year yet and you will give life all that you have. We are totally thriving here at First Unity and invite you to put your whole self in. Now is when in 2010.

Loving life,

Temple Hayes

I discovered through a series of miracles, 8 dynamic women who are still very special in my life today. Most of all, I discovered mirror reflections of me within them that validated me and shaped me for many years to come. I discovered my inner power and established a rich relationship with all aspects of myself. I also realized that most of life’s difficulty had been me hiding behind reasons and seasons rather than shining my light in the world.

They were great women and they were able to see the greatness within me. This was a defining moment in my life, as I moved from passion to participation and my light has been expanding ever since.

Now visualize with me an experience with dynamic women from all over the globe…a defining moment which is calling all of us!!!

Imagine having this amazing opportunity to be with 2,000 empowered women from all over the world to see your reflection, your possibility, and your light.

You will discover your MOXY (your bravery, your courage)…and the world will benefit from your expanded light.

See you there, October 3, 2009…the day that will change our lives.

Love
Temple

When two people try to lead, nothing feels right.
The movement doesn’t flow with the music,
and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.

When one person realizes that, and lets the other lead,
both bodies begin to flow with the music.
One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back
or by pressing lightly in one direction or another.
It’s as if two become one body, moving beautifully.

The dance takes surrender, willingness,
and attentiveness from one person
and gentle guidance and skill from the other.

My eyes drew back to the word Guidance.
When I saw ‘G: I thought of God, followed by ‘u’ and ‘i’.
‘God, ‘u’ and ‘i’ dance’ God, you, and I dance.

As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust
that I would get guidance about my life.
Once again, I became willing to let God lead.
My prayer for you today is that God’s blessings
and mercies be upon you on this day and everyday.

May you abide in God as God abides in you.
Dance together with God, trusting God to lead
and to guide you through each season of your life.

This prayer is powerful and there is nothing attached.
If God has done anything for you in your life,
please share this message with someone else,
for prayer is one of the best gifts we can receive.

There is no cost but a lot of rewards;
so let’s continue to pray for one another !
And I Hope You Dance
