Today, bring to mind those who have been your teachers, who gave you something that you cherish today. These people can be relatives or friends or even people you never met but whose words you read or whose lives you read about and they changed your life. They can be alive, but for this exercise I’m choosing people who’ve gone before. (I may well be older than you, so I have a lot more people who have “gone before.”) In the next 24 hours, write in your journal what your “ancestors” gave you and what you’re grateful for from them. When you say your prayers, hold them in the Light. And when you go out into the world, use what they gave you. Pass on their wisdom so you become a mentor, too.
