Core principles that guide my life; honesty, loyalty, kindness, gratefulness, compassion, integrity with my words, loving kindness.
Treat others the way I want to be treated.
Smile & laugh often…..Be positive.

I’m all about flow like the Golden State Warriors beautiful ball-movement system. They’re a transcendent high-scoring team known to play extremely fast, swing the ball to each other, and launch a bunch of 3s. It starts with Steph Curry. He’s my guy.
Flow helps me get straight to the point and keep it moving.
Core principles important to me and guide how I walk this earthly path include the Four Absolutes: Honesty, Purity, Unselfishness, and Love. There’s a slight reprieve to our heat wave, am very grateful for that. Prayers for the safety of those living amongst the tragedies and devastation of the wildfires in Canada and US. Peace to all this day. ☮️🌻
Carla, I love having some absolutes. It makes life easier. You have some great ones. The college friend I’ve told you before in Angela said on Facebook that not getting what we want is also a beautiful thing. It teaches us to be honest, pure, unselfish, and to love others. As far as the heatwave goes, I’m happy for you guys. When I get home, it will be hot again for the next week.
Speak and act with kindness.
Demonstrate respect for the dignity and worth of every human being.
Listen to understand and to learn.
Think and act for the long run.
Pay attention to who isn’t included and bring them in.
Connect people with each other, with ideas, with information–enrich and grow the webs of connection we all rely on.
I’ve been given many gifts; I have an obligation to use them responsibly to make the world a better place.
My best self shows up here on days when I write a list like this. Answering the questions helps remind me of who and how I want to be.
This question reminded me of a blog post I wrote in December 2023, when the QOTD was “What do I stand for?” The list I put together then is still valid, although in rereading I can spot the difference between that question and this one: https://biketoworkbarb.blogspot.com/2023/12/what-i-stand-for.html
“I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living for my club, my community, my country and my world.”
The True Universe is guiding me 100%. I don’t even pump my own heart or breathe myself. Who am I? I am the True universe when this false self completely dies and no longer tries to have a will. I can easily see the falseness now and by using the method of discarding all these delusions only Truth remains. I’m so grateful to the universe for allowing me to do this . Thank you and I love you 🫶🏿 so much .
The belief that connection is the cure for the world’s ills. The writer James Baldwin came to that conclusion and I agree. In an important way my life, since I began to come out of my isolation many years ago, has been about connecting with other people.

Another post, on the 4-H Pledge, also fits here https://biketoworkbarb.blogspot.com/2011/02/head-heart-hands-and-health.html. If you weren’t a 4-H’er you won’t know this, but I can still recite it 50+ years after my last 4-H meeting. A very good set of principles!
“I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living for my club, my community, my country and my world.”
”My best self shows up here on days when I write a list like this. Answering the questions helps remind me of who and how I want to be.”
Me too,
dear Barb . . .
that is quite a blog you have!
We can all do well
to live by the 4-H pledge. ♥
Willingness
♥
Carol, as someone who keeps it real, reluctance doesn’t fly with me.
I live by living in my truth, being kind, grateful, honest, and respectful.
“Loving-kindness”, GRACE, gratitude, connection, fun, compassion, liberty and justice for ALL.
I try to let kindness be my compass.
Kindness
covers a lot of territory,
dear Charlie . . . ♥
Unrelenting gratefulness, Having fun, Being kind, Finding connection and Silence.
There’s that phrase again,
dear Avril . . .
”unrelenting gratefulness”.
I love it. 🙂
Kindness,Love,Integrity
Be nice.
Live and let live. Loving kindness. Do unto others as I would have done to me. Smile, Smile, Smile.
Peace, Love & Light.
A smile for you,
dear Joseph,
on a rainy day . . .
I wish I could send you some. 🙂
The southwest monsoon flow is back in place, dear Sparrow. Maybe your wish will be a catalyst. Thank you.
I hope so,
dear Joseph . . .
namaste. ♥

Open mind, Open Heart
Yes Christina, I have also found that connection is crucial for my well being, and maybe the recipe for peace. ✌️ 😁
Yes, dear Charlie. I recall your recent response that you can talk to anyone.
