Quote: "We are each gifted in a unique and important way. It is our privilege and our adventure to discover our own special light." --- Mary Dunbar Oh yes, a link to the image or you can copy and paste the url into your browser This week's "Something Extra" - Acknowledge Your Self-Worth Uncovering Hidden
Treasure My mother-in-law sat on the beach in Aruba and reached for her cold beverage nestled in the sand by her chair. She miscalculated her grasp and instead, her hand dove into the sand and she pulled out a glorious 14K solid gold rope necklace. Teams of salvage hunters spend
millions of dollars, countless years and untold hours searching for lost treasure, more often finding it elusive. How is it then, some people find treasure when not seeking it, and others hunt and never find anything even when using elaborate calculations? The dichotomy of old sayings, "It'll show up when you least expect it," versus "Persistence pays," provides Spirit an opportunity to
intrigue us in our journey and increase the value of things we desire but cannot yet manifest. Hidden vs. Missing When something is missing, it means it once existed in our life and it's no longer there. When something is hidden, that
means it's still there, but we can no longer see it. In life, how do we distinguish between the two qualities of perceived lack? In both instances, we experience a void - we can't touch or feel what we want. From misplaced car keys to hidden clues, we struggle with filling the void with what we already know - that which once existed - instead of moving towards something better.
The qualities of things hidden range from stifled emotions to disguised authenticity and integrity; to secrets about ourselves we don't want the world to see. Missing things usually represent what we need to learn. If life repeats the lesson over and over for us, then we clearly missed the
point of the lesson. Missing means a gap, a space, an emptiness for something which once served as a part of us, or for something we need to learn to complete the circle. Hidden Meanings... Hmm... What does our writer want us to
know? Let's read the rest of the article: Have a marvelous
