The Golden Goose: Where True Gold Lies
Dear Diva,
I remember as a child being fascinated by a small aspect of a much larger fairy tale in Jack and the Beanstalk. I guess I have never really been enamored with conquest and really thought that Jack was a thief, but I loved the hen that laid the golden eggs.
The original source of course was Aesop, who told a tale with a moral core in The Goose that laid the golden egg. A man and his wife had the good fortune to possess a goose that laid a golden egg every day. For a while they were happy and lived well, but then they became impatient with how quickly they were accumulating their wealth. So they thought that if the goose could lay such a fine egg of gold, it must be lined with the precious metal. If they cut the goose open, they could get the gold all at once. Of course we all know what happened, the goose was just a goose and there was no gold inside.
For Aesop, the moral of the story was much wants more and loses all. I think there is also a hidden message, true gold comes from the process of creating.
If you are at all like me, and I think you are, we are very, very hard on the goose. Instead of recognizing all the golden eggs she has laid, and being thankful, we, like the greedy man and woman in the story, expect more, more, more. It is time that we honor
the goose and forget about the eggs. If the goose is well cared for, the eggs will come, won't they! Here are 7 lucky tips for the care and feeding of the golden goose:
Wherever you are right now in your life, please stop for a moment and hear this truth. The true gold lies not in the outcome or accomplishment, it is in the process of creating. When you give yourself a little space and care for the golden goose inside you, you will once again lay a golden egg. Don't worry, there is no where to go, you have everything you need for the blissful life you desire. You just forgot where the true gold lives-inside of you.
All the best,
PS To help you remember the gold that you are, I've created some postcards for you to download. Two to keep and two to share with another Golden Goose that needs encouragement. To download your copy, please go to Golden Eggs
Special thanks to D. L. Ashliman for the translations of Aesop's Fable, The Golden Goose. http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/goldfowl.html#aesop

The Diva Word for the Day
is SWEET
Today's Daily Diva Word is SWEET. Today is the day to SWEETEN your life just a little. We get so used to our daily life, we get into patterns that eventually become a rut. What can you do that would remind you to be SWEET to yourself? Do you have the same type of coffee or tea every morning? What if you tried something new today? Is there a special restaurant that you want to try out for lunch, but haven't for a host of reasons? Take a different route to work, go to the library for a new book, sit at a coffee shop and relax. Life just speeds on by, each and every day. To be SWEET to ourselves is to remember that this is it, the real deal. Take a few minutes dedicated to remembering just how SWEET life is, It's a precious gift to yourself.

You, my dear Diva, are a Golden Goose. Each day you lay multiple golden eggs throughout your life. They are often disguised as meals for loved ones, staying a little later at work to help your boss or co-workers, volunteering at the church or PTA, working on your cross-stitch or scrapbooking or on a passion of your heart. Everything that you do, each and every day, that brings a blessing to another is a golden egg. Like the goose in the story, you know how to lay the eggs. How well do you care for the goose?
