The universe has been sending me little clues for about a month now about how important it is to spend time remembering who I really am. This could include prayer, meditation, reading a book, going to church, spending time with other people or nature and really feeling the presence of the being I am spending time with.
We can go through life just doing what needs to be done every day or we can wake up and live life. The difference is astronomical! Today the realization of how this works came to me in this example. An athlete takes the time regularly to sharpen the skill they have been given. They spend large quantities of time exercising, practicing, going over past games, making plays in their minds, etc….I could go on and on. These are actions that they put forth to get what they desire to cultivate in themselves and bring forth for the world to see.
In each of us there is a divine spark. This divine spark that is within us is also a part of God. This is who we really are. How many of us take the time to nurture this spark and bring it forth for the entire world to see? We are here to enjoy, love and be abundant. Do we do this? Do we believe this? Maybe on Sunday?
Today just for a bit, spend time listening to your thoughts. Do you love to yourself? Do you love others? Are your thoughts kind? Are you actions kind? Just changing a few things can make all the difference in your life. Take time today and look into the mirror and realize that you are perfect. You are a divine spark of God individualized. Take time to remember that and be grateful for your life. Pray, read, go to church, do something to help you to remember often. Daily take a few minutes to remember. Love yourself and as you do love will flow from you to others who are in need. Our time here is short…remember to remember.
The spirit in me bows to the spirit in you. Namaste.
I love you

Fear got you down? No problem!!
When boundaries are present, there is fear – when wholeness and unity is recognized, fear cannot exist." -- James A. Ray
Fear is defined as "an emotion experienced in anticipation of some specific pain or danger (usually accompanied by a desire to flee or fight) ". (Google Web Definitions).
The key word here is in anticipation of! Funny thing is that we have the flight or fight response for life threatening dangers but most of us use fear to paralyze us in our daily lives when there is NO real danger of losing our lives!
In today's society many us get stuck in ruts due to self-limiting thoughts. These thoughts are unproductive and limit our natural abilities to achieve goals. We talk ourselves right out of being successful! Have you listened to how you talk to yourself today? Take a minute and really listen to your self talk. Are you limiting yourself? Do you have confidence in your abilities to succeed at anything and everything or do you have doubts concerning your abilities?
These doubts are nothing but fear! Oh yes, fear hides well behind the pretense of being rational and realistic thought. However, limiting thoughts are not realistic or rational at all! There are unlimited possibilities in this universe! You can do, be and have everything that you want if you just believe!
Truth of the matter is fear limits! People don't try new things because they are afraid of failure. The difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is how they perceive failure. Successful people look at failures or mistakes as an opportunity to learn and grow and not as a negative!
Lets take a look at ways to overcome that fear!
1. Change your perception! This is can be done in a number of ways including using affirmation and meditation to change your beliefs! You can make your own affirmations and keep them posted in place where you see them often! Here is a free meditation that I discovered on line that helps with overcoming fear. This meditation has you visualize all the fear leaving your body never to return. Use any other method that works for you to change your limiting thoughts and put an end to fear. Just remember you can do anything! Henry Ford said "If you think you can you are right. If you think you cannot you are right."
2. Take action. Start moving toward your goals! Small steps if needed but do something.
3. Persist, Persist, Persist. If one action does not produce the desired results try a different approach. Keep trying until you get the desired results.
4. If you are feeling fearful or not getting the desired results don't criticize yourself. Simply put do not take it personally. Learn from the experience whatever it is. You can either have a cup half full or half empty at any moment in your life. Every cloud has a silver lining - look for it always!
5. Give thanks! Gratitude is very important and give thanks for it all and not just the things that you perceive to be "good". Give thanks for you life with all of the ups and downs and enjoy the ride.
If you are enjoying the ride there is no time to be afraid!
Bless you all
I love you.

Focus! Focus! Focus!
Ready to get started? Ready to spend some time? Here are some suggestions to help align your focus and start the change in your life. It is easy! Treat it like a game, let your inner child enjoy the experience!
Realign your focus so that you are always thinking on what you truly desire? Plan your day around it! Reading, writing, and speaking about the things that make you feel good brings these things into reality! As you think about these things throughout the day and put those thoughts out into the universe your actions will automatically become aligned with reaching those goals! Magically, your life will unfold and actions that need to be taken will be easy and effortless. Some people call this inspired action, some call it the flow of life, and others call it connecting with life or God. It does not matter what you call it, the point is to take the time to co-create consciously instead of creating unconsciously!
Here are a few simple ways to align your focus. Pick and choose from the list and use the techniques that feel right to you! I personally try to incorporate all of them into my daily life.
1. Write Daily! This can be as simple as a gratitude journal or as complicated as a full blown journal. Writing is powerful! I have a gratitude journal and use it every night to focus my attention on the things in my life that I am grateful for. As I do this the universe automatically sends me more things that I can be grateful for!!!
2. Notes and lists. Did you ever notice that if you make a list you get more done? Funny how a list gets done but how sometimes thoughts about what should get done are forgotten. Jack Canfield suggests in his book Success Principles that you make a list of five things a day to accomplish in order to reach your goals. Life is nothing more than an accumulation of small steps!!!!!!!!
3. Meditation. Daily meditation is one of the key steps in this process. in my opinion. This in itself the most important thing that you can incorporate into your life. You can manifest everything your heart desires with positive thinking, vision boards, and the rest but true inner peace is achieved by going within. Remember that meditation can be as simple as prayer or just being aware and doing one thing at a time, or it can be as intrinsic as yoga. You must find the road that is comfortable for you.
4. Bring your desires into everyday conversations with other people. This practice reinforces your intentions and focus. This does not mean that you must say I am in the process of manifesting a boat! You can just simply say I am looking into purchasing a boat, or I have been considering a boat. These types of conversations not only reinforce your intention and focus but also has the potential to open doors necessary for you to achieve your goal.
5. Vision Boards - I have included a picture above of a vision board. Vision boards serve the purpose of keeping your goals in your face on a regular basis! Everyone should have one! Put it up where you will see it everyday.
Never say NEVER!!!! I CAN AND I WILL! If you doubt yourself you will fail - Know that you will succeed, live that you will succeed, breathe that you will succeed. Know that you have already succeeded!
Sending you love and light! Feeling and enjoying your success. I love you!
