“In total surrender of the ego, the transformation of our vibration unfolds by itself to levels far beyond our imagination” – Annette Duveroth

It is often discussed whether or not destiny and fate are real, or if we come here with complete free will to create our life however we choose. Technically we can see the evidence of both. We hear stories of how people were in the right place at the right time to discover someone or something that completely changed their life.

People have dreams or premonitions of instances before they happen, which can only lead us to believe that some circumstances are fated to occur. On the other side of the coin, we see people who waste their entire lives on an addiction or in a dysfunctional relationship only to just grow older, get sicker and eventually just die, which leads to the question, “Was that really their destiny?”

Couldn’t a few better choices in their life have led them down a path that would have eventually led them to a happier and more fulfilling life?

If you have traveled to Mexico then chances are that you’ve seen the vibrant, scarlet-hued herbal tea known as hibiscus. Commonly referred to as “sour drink” in Iran, hibiscus not only is a refreshingly tart brew but also has been used worldwide as an effective medicinal beverage. Rich in vitamin C, alkaloids and bioflavonoids, this bright-red elixir is traditionally used for supporting respiratory and cardiovascular health, lowering blood pressure, maintaining fluid balance and alleviating insomnia.

And now, contemporary research has validated the herb as a health-promoting tonic in a variety of areas.

You have so many faces of God; no one of them is right or wrong……..yet they all reflect the one Universal Energy that embraces you in Unconditional Love. ~ Creator

SELF ACCEPTANCE Look into the mirror; what do you see? If you like your face, you will smile back at yourself. If you look at your face and notice what you consider to be imperfections, there will be no smile. We suggest you continue to look into the mirror until you can embrace your imperfections as perfection.

Beauty truly is in the eyes of the beholder. Practice beholding everyone as a perfect spiritual equal. Practice observing Nature in all her glory, noting how everything works perfectly together. Practice seeing perfection in all events surrounding you. Know that each of these events offers you an opportunity to be more loving and accepting. As you begin to see yourself and all else as perfect, your ability to love unconditionally will greatly expand.

Not only acceptance, but the underlying knowledge that all is perfect is the basis of love. Learn to love one another without conditions. When you notice imperfections in things around you, embrace them and look for the beauty in them. Know within every event there are opportunities to express love and acceptance. It is by doing these things that your path on Earth will lead you to joy in every moment.
