Welcome!

     Sit right down with me for a good Cuppa Light! A Cuppa Light is Java for your whole being! Most of us begin our day with some morning rituals including grabbing a cuppa something to get our physical bodies going. I wanted inspiration for my spirit and mind as well. I found that if I sincerely needed uplifting moments, they would come.
     They came in dreams, something I’d observe, emails people sent, or things they would say. I’d read a book, and there was a quotation or passage that lifted or helped me know the right thing to do. I learned how to recognize, and work with the different parts of myself, and how to help others do it as well. I created this website as an inspirational place, A Cuppa Light for your whole being. If you're in a hurry just read the blog below or click on "A Little Cuppa". Maybe one will be just right for you!  Invite your friends to come recharge with a good cuppa light.
    Add your flavor to the Cuppa via the guestbook below. Share something that inspires you, and write about it in the guestbook. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

Enjoy!

Mother's Day and More

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers everywhere. Thank-you for allowing souls to use your bodies to come to the Earth plane. I read years ago that that is the only obligation a mother ever has to give to her child. Without a willingness, either unconscious or conscious, the child can’t use the mother as a channel. Thanks especially to my mom, Marjorie Bradstreet Marshall Roberts Bamman,  who went way beyond the basic requirements and cared for my physical needs, encouraged me mentally and led me to Bible School when I was 6, and saw that I had a basic understanding of the Presbyterian religion before I left home. It was a good start Mom, and I’ll love you forever, even though you are once again in spirit/mind form.

 

Arthur DeFries, a late Hawaiian wise man told me that if a man didn’t have a good relationship with his mother, he wouldn’t have one with other women. Paul Solomon stated that we pattern our relationships after our parents. It pays to work them out, but we need to be fair. Parents get blamed a lot for the patterns that they “give” us. But I know from having three completely different children that even though I was the same, and loved them all as best I could, each of them drew out different things in me.

 

In studying “A Course in Miracles” I’ve discovered that a lot of our pre-entry to earth patterning is set within our minds before we arrive on earth and begin experiencing the 3D world. For example, one child may be very willing, maybe too willing to try new things even if they could be dangerous. That mother might be perceived as “always slowing me down” or “not trusting my judgment”, and a pattern could develop as needing to push limits.

 

Another child may arrive with less courage, and need extra coaxing and soothing. It may strengthen a bond between the mother and child, and create a pattern of being trusting of others, and able to have intimacy in relationships, or create a pattern of being dependent upon others.

 

What I’m suggesting is that we own our “stuff”. Abraham, through Ester Hicks tells us that the Universe is always giving us what we ask for vibrationally. It might be that a mother was hard on us, but we had a part in the relationship. At any point we can just stop and say, “I want to change this. We can focus on what we would like to experience in our lives, check it out with Beloved, to see if it really is in our best interest, and if it is, we can proceed to draw it to us, feeling it get closer and closer to us, as if we were about to get on an airplane and fly to Europe which I will be doing in less than 24 hours! I know it’s coming. I’ve taken the steps, and I look forward to a joyous adventure.

 

I’m taking The Game over there, and will see how it fares in the circles I find. I’m not creating a rigid itinerary. I’m allowing Spirit to lead. I had an interesting experience today. I met a friend whose family came from Lucca, Italy. I’d considered going there and to the Cinque Terre, but was mentally going the other way toward Venice in my mind. He emailed me some information, and I’ll let you know what transpires. Have a happy everything!

National Day of Prayer

The first Thursday in May is the United States' National Day of Prayer. The Interfaith Roundtable of Kaua'i sponsored a Prayer Event at the Civic Center Rotunda. After chanting and prayer by Aunty Hana Montgomery, Our Mayor Bernard Carvalho decreed and signed a Proclamation claiming today as Kaua'i's National Day of Prayer, and sang "Let There be Peace on Earth." He stayed to hear all of our prayers. I prayed as minister of the Fellowship of the Inner Light. The prayer follows:

 

Beloved Creator,

 

Thank You for Your limitless love, and creating us to be like You; loving, thoughtful beings. Thank You for Your endless forgiveness as we make mistakes and learn through trial and error what Love really is and isn’t.

 

Guide our hearts and minds to remember that you created us all to be loved by you, to love one another, and to love You. We are your children, and the sheep of your pasture. Help us remember that You love us all equally as Your children, and want us all to live peacefully and joyfully together.

 

We know that requests for You to take one side or another against anyone in the greater family of man are meaningless to you in the greatness and completeness of Your love, although prayers for the healing of our human family are heard and answered.

 

So we pray for the awakening of our individual hearts and minds to recognize the power of love and acceptance, which is eternal and more powerful than any weapon. You gifted us with the kingdom of heaven within our minds and souls. Give us the faith and discipline to quiet our loud self-preoccupied minds, and listen to the still small voice within that guides us to  Your Loving, healing Presence. 

 

Bless the people of the United States of America with Your vision for us. May we see beyond our limited vision of what we think are good choices for us, and step into the knowing of what is best for us as a people, a nation and for the world we live in.

 

Guide our political leaders, spiritual leaders, parents, and teachers. Bless them with your wisdom and guidance, as they lead us to greater peace on earth and good will to men, and fellowship with all beings that you created.

 

Help our scientists learn the best ways to care for our generous Mother Earth, our universe, and our bodies.

Help us to forgive at all times and in all ways, and remember our true nature as your Spiritual Child.

 

Thank-You Beloved for your Limitless love,

 

Amen
