  • Proceed with joy

     A Year Of Joy #36 – Proceed with joy

    When we ask for joy and wish to share it, it increases.

    We move through life with joy as we create an expectation for it.

    We bring our considerable resources of joy through living consistently with uplifting intent.

    We only want to include what is uplifting for us and for all mankind.

    Joy means sharing generously.

    We share with our overflow of joy when we realize it comes from our divine Source.

    Joy is unlimited.

    We can proceed confidently with joy.

    We can correct our course when we get distracted from joy.

  • Everyone Can Be As Happy As I Am

    Pebbles of Peace Pathway 4.47 – Everyone Can Be As Happy As I Am

    Although I started out happy, many problems piled up and I had to find my way to happy again.

    As I realized my life was not turning out the way I had thought it would, I began a rigorous and desperate search.

    The idea of “GIVE MORE” came to me repeatedly.

    I searched and studied to discover my purpose and also to figure out the message of “GIVE MORE”.

    As the answers came, I found I didn’t value them.

    But the same answers kept coming, so I decided to listen to them, and to finally take action.

    That action has continued to build until finally, after several years, I have a body of work to release.

    And I love it.

    I love the work that I have been led to do.

    I love its purpose.

    I love its power.

    I love the feeling that I am involved in “right livelihood”.

    As I have valued the answers that came (and still come) to me and acted on them, they have placed me in ideal, beautiful surroundings.

    I look forward to releasing more and more as I love and value myself and my ideas.

    I have become very happy with who I am and what I do.

  • I overflow with the joy of life.

    Love Note 1.36 – I overflow with the joy  of life

    I am living in the flow of doing what I love.

    Ideas which come to me are happy and uplifting.

    I am seen for who I am.

    I am in the company of wonderful ideas and I love presenting them.

    I love seeing the results of someone being affected by my uplifting messages.

    It is a privilege to do what I love to do and see such welcome results.

    My own life is so full of joy that I am in a constant flow of creativity and abundance.

    It spills over into my day.

    I am able to live in a balanced and calm way and to accomplish what is important to me.

    I have learned the skills to get myself back in balance when a distraction or a disturbance overwhelms me.

    I am able to remain faithful to my commitment to do what I love to do because it is the reason I am here and I love to fulfill my purpose.

    Who knew that there were such wonderful possibilities for me?

    My practice is expanding gently and consistently and powerfully as I listen for more ideas based on the continuous flow of inspiration which comes to me.

    My ideas are grounded so strongly that they are a firm base for expansion.

    I experience pure joy as I work with them.

    They delight me and I am completely wrapped up in creating and expressing them.

    I am in a secure and beautiful place as I continue to listen for and express my ideas.

  • Foresight

    Meditation Drawing 4.49 Foresight

    In the middle of chaos and turmoil it can be hard to see clearly.

    We can access our deep intuition through listening within.

    This puts us in touch with what we need to know on a timely basis.

    We can take Guided action to meet the demands of the day.

    We listen in order to be totally prepared for whatever may occur.

    We may find ourselves taking unexpected action only to realize later that it was preparation.

    We may find ourselves moving in a new direction.

    Our individuality places us where we are most useful.

    We provide uplifting service at any time.

    We add calm everywhere we go.

    Because we are in tune with our Higher Power, it may appear that we have foresight.

    We are simply maintaining our inner clarity.

    The Universe is always providing Guidance.

    We maintian our contact by taking the many tiny steps which come to us.

    We are willing to listen within daily, hourly.

    We trust the peace we feel.

    We move toward peace and eliminate disturbance.

    We release fear and agitation by maintaining our focus on our inner Light.

    We place ourselves in the place of peace over and over again.

    We breathe peace.

    We breathe harmony.

    We are responding to the power of the Divine to place each one of us where we need to be.

    We include the safety which is ours through Guidance.

    We are able to plan thoughtfully.

    We make room for the peace which is our spiritual birthright and we see it mainfested.

  • Joyful awakening

     A Year Of Joy #35 – Joyful awakening

    The desire for joy and happiness was a powerful wake-up call for me.

    Having done the work, I now wake up into joy every morning.

    We awake to our higher nature, when we desire a better way to live.

    When we discover there is a way to make this happen it is a joyful relief.

    Then we have to practice.

    We have to find our way.

    The repeated desire for joy points us in the right direction.

    We know to listen for new guidance.

    Listening within provides the Guidance.

    We connect to our higher nature and to our Higher Power.

    Each step we take awakens us to new possibilities.

    We become convinced there is a possiblity of joy for us.

    There is a new power in the feeling we bring through “I love me” statements.

    We begin to build a new and certain foundation.

    Joy is part of the life we can create.

    Let us focus on joy to bring it.

    Each tiny step is taken with the idea of joy.

    We awake in the morning with expectation of joy.

    We retire at night having done all we can to pay attention to joy.

    We write in our Joy Journal.

    We envelop ourselves in joy like a comforting blanket.

    We immerse ourselves in beautiful surroundings.

    We find what gives us joy.

    We make joy our first priority.

    We notice how our life has shifted when we consistently awake in joy.

  • Gently Led

    Pebbles of Peace Pathways 4.26 – Gently Led

    Harsh experiences of relationships and places breaking up are sometimes the ways we are gently led to peace.

    Desperately clinging to the wreck is one of the indicators we receive to tell us we must move on.

    After analyzing and dissecting how and why things went wrong, being amazed at their consistency and having no way to change, redirect, or correct, I finally got off that cycle to nowhere.

    Using some of my new vocabulary of going “within”, I discovered I could hear a different direction.

    I was forced, i.e., gently led, to keep listening and taking the steps in my new direction.

    This direction is so completely different from anything I have ever heard of or experienced and so completely fulfilling in a different way, that resolving any of my previous conflicts would have provided nothing in the way of getting here.

    I can see now that I was being given a gift of supreme discomfort and frustration and unfairness.

    I am now in an entirely different Universe of connection, fulfillment and prosperity.

  • I am so grateful for my happiness.

    Love Note 1.34 – I am so grateful  for my happiness

    I have discovered the way to find happiness and I am so grateful.

    I have discovered what I love to do and I am doing it.

    It has taken many steps to come to this conclusion.

    I have been amazed to discover the possibility and how to achieve it.

    Learning to listen within to discover what I love and then to do it without compromise has required courage.

    I know what it feels like to be connected to who I am.

    It is completely different from being obedient and disciplined.

    I have moved beyond that into the flow of wonderful harmonious ideas which truly express my individuality.

    This has been done through many gentle steps.

    It is a part of me which has been revealed despite the confusion of living so far outside of who I really am.

    I am grateful to discover it.

    I find it agreeable to be in harmonic resonance with my individuality.

    I do not have to talk myself into doing and being something that I am not.

    My new discovery has opened up new doors for me.

    It feels completely natural to be going in this new direction.

    All the groundwork had been laid by simply following the new steps I was given.

    My new path has led right up to a new door and I am grateful to step through it into my new enjoyable and happy life.
