Greetings! ,
Years ago, in a business management training program, I heard the following fable:
"This is a little story about four folks named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
"It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done."
At different times throughout our lives, we have all experienced being an Everybody, a Somebody, an Anybody, and a Nobody. An essential question to consider today is: Which one am I being most of the time? In my home, in my work, in my spiritual center, in my community - how am I showing up?"
Every one of us has gifts we bring to the altar of Life. This is because we are all a part of the Divine Plan, and there are no redundancies in Spirit. Our gifts are unique and can only be expressed by us.
Gandhi beckoned, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." This month, we encourage you to contemplate what change you wish to see, then take deliberate action from that place of authenticity.
As a current New Thought chant declares, "You are the one that you've been waiting for, you are the one who makes a difference. You are the one who you've been waiting for - you are, you ARE."
Thank you for being a Somebody in our world! You ARE the One who can make the Difference....

At DuPage Center for Spiritual Living, we're celebrating our 35th anniversary by offering free, content-rich executive-level programs that help build connections and community, while they showcase our state-of-the-art meeting facility.
Join us on May 17th, when we'll welcome award-winning speaker, author and coach, Kelly STANDING. She'll share hands-on, use-them-now techniques to make even rusty or reluctant conversationalists more confident.
While you build your small-talk skills, take a look around. Consider all the ways you might use our facility for gatherings of up to 100 people - business meetings, service and social clubs, book clubs, study groups, support groups, retreats, rehearsals for speakers or musicians, meditation or office space, worship, weddings and civil union ceremonies.
We know you'll give the evening "Two Thumbs Up!"
Free. Open to the Public. Call 630.653.2222 to register.
