Notes from Jackie

I recently had a new family visiting my home…a mother duck and her 12 ducklings! They were born in my backyard and have taken up residence until such time as the ducklings are ready to fly. I noticed them when the entire family went swimming in my pool. I was entranced with these little fuzz balls, all following mom and then trying to branch out on their own. But mom didn’t coddle them. She would leap up on the concrete ledge and then leave her fledglings to hop again and again until they were strong enough to gain the ledge themselves. It reminded me of us humans and how we try and try again until we can finally reach that place of growth…how we strive to be better human beings, learning our lessons and pushing ourselves until we have made a significant shift. What a pleasure to be able to shelter this little family of wildlife and to remember that we are just another of God’s wondrous creatures!

Manifest Message

Spendthrifts cannot succeed, mainly because they stand eternally in fear of poverty.  Form the habit of systematic saving by putting aside a definite percentage of your income.  Money in the bank gives you a very safe foundation of courage when bargaining for the sale of your services.  Without money, you must take what you are offered, and be glad to get it.
