Posted on by

Below is a believable, positive affirmation/prayer recommended by guest speaker, Dr. Susan Shumsky, on Manifest Everything Now, Secrets to Effortless Manifestation. Repeat it daily with confidence and enthusiasm (feelings and emotions) to make it more effective.

I am in control.

I am one with God.

I am the only authority in my life.

I am divinely protected by the light of my being.

I close off my aura and body of light

To the lower astral levels of mind

And I open to the spiritual world.

Thank you God and so it is.

Stop and Smell the Flowers

Stop and Smell the Flowers

We have such busy schedules that sometimes prevent us from enjoying the simple things in life. We get pulled in many different directions that our lives become chaotic. We rush around in a frenzy taking kids to school or to their activities, going to work, grocery shopping, working out, checking emails, etc. It is no wonder we have so much stress in our lives. We need to learn to slow down or stop and be present. We can very easily eliminate some things to allow time for unwinding and relaxation. Life goes by quick enough. Be like a child and appreciate the small pleasures in life. Here is Liam taking time to smell the flowers.

Here Comes 2015!

With 2014 coming to an end, we should consider making plans/goals for the new year.  Some of us are wanting or needing to make major lifestyle changes, while others are perfectly content staying in their comfort zones.  Where ever we are in life, we should always seek ways to improve ourselves and the way we live.  We could lend a helping hand, complain less, be forgiving, eat healthier, exercise regularly, get organized, give more, save more, and spend less, be open-minded and less judgmental, be grateful, and always be kind and loving.  When we practice self-awareness, we can be more and do more to become better.  Best wishes for a very happy, healthy, and harmonious 2015!

Celebrate the Season

As we come together for different celebrations around the world during this holiday season, let’s keep one thing in mind.  Love.  Choose to love people for who they truly are.  Choose to love people regardless of their race, color, gender, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, profession, political beliefs, etc.  Love is pure, love is positive, and love is powerful.  Love your Creator, love yourself, love everyone, and love life.

Closed Door

I’m sure you’ve heard this before, “when one door closes another door opens.”  We have to remember that when that door closes, everything is going to be fine.  Our Creator intended to close that door for a very good purpose.  Sometimes we tend to forget and become anxious and discouraged.  We need to be patient and have faith and trust until the other door is opened.  There is perfect timing for everything.  We should be grateful for closed doors and opened doors.  Because our Creator would never close one door without opening another.

Inner Peace

With the many decisions and challenges we face every day, how do we achieve inner peace?  Inner peace starts with self-acceptance.  When you feel good about yourself and be yourself, you will have peace within.  Have faith and confidence that things will work out and stay calm during a storm.  The less you react to negative situations, the more peaceful your life will be.  Take time for yourself.  Simplify your life.  Meditation is the best practice for peace, relaxation, and connection to the source of all life.

Breaking Point

Posted on by

A horrific crime recently occurred in the state of WV where four people were shot dead and the shooter ended up taking his own life.  My question is how does someone reach a breaking point in life and do something this severe?  Our minds can be very powerful and conjure up a great story, if we let them.  Our minds can even provide complete justification for the story. Now there may be some truth to the story, but our minds seem to magnify it.  To control our actions, we must be aware of what we are thinking.  Because our thoughts can take us for a ride.  Most importantly, we need to realize that not all of our thoughts are true, even though they are a part of us.  We need to ignore the negative thoughts and focus on the positive ones.  My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all involved in this incident and hope they quickly recover during this difficult time.

Today, I give thanks to God for giving me intuition to follow my heart.  I have been working on a book for the last couple of years titled, “Break Free From Your Reins.”  It is currently in final editorial review for publication.  I am so grateful to be doing what I love best.. helping others.  Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Many Teachers

Posted on by

Everyone has something to offer in this world.  Pay attention to everyone, because we learn from each other.  We attract many different people into our lives consciously or unconsciously.  By observing and/or listening carefully to others, you may be inspired by someone, or you may be reminded that not everyone is at the same level of awareness as you.  Either way, be grateful for whomever crosses your path, because there is always room for self-improvement.  My little grandson teaches me to be happy for no reason.

Celebrate Today

Posted on by

As I celebrated my 60th birthday this past weekend, I realized something.  Why do we wait for that special day to come around once a year to celebrate?  We should be celebrating every day like it is our birthday (maybe minus the cake).  Oh and be proud of your age.  We are all so hung up on looking young, but we need to face the facts that one day we are all going to get old and die.  Besides, it’s what’s inside that counts.  I still feel as young as when I was in my 30’s, but I must say, I am a lot more wiser now from my life experiences.  I believe if you have a positive attitude, you will age gracefully.  Life is good; we’re alive and well, so be happy and grateful for every day!
