    How I support my family

    In my early morning work, I move myself into the infinite as I connect to my Source.

    This is where I draw upon the strength and harmony to move through my day.

    I will encounter many different personalities and circumstances.

    I need to be centered as I begin my day.

    This is the atmosphere I am creating in my home.

    Before I start my day, I see each family member in a state of harmonious creativity.

    Each person has the ability to create their day in a harmonious way.

    I give them a vocabulary of peace.

    In the morning, we study spiritual teachings.

    I introduce the idea of the Infinite, all-present, all-harmonious Source.

    We tune into It by learning concepts of divine Principle, divine Love, divine Mind.

    These are the values which inspire us to express our highest character.

    We draw to us what we focus on.

    It is important to focus on uplifting concepts.

    These are what carry us through our school day and work day.

    These are what establish a healthy home.

    Everything we encounter throughout our day will measure up against our core character concepts and how we put them into practice.

    We arm ourselves against the invading concepts of confusion, disturbances and disruptions.

    Our vocabulary of peace, integrity, honesty, excellence, discipline, and commitment fills up the space in our mind and in our day.

    It enables us to do our work without getting pushed off course.

    It enables us to get back on course by setting our own standard.

    Whatever does not support that standard does not belong in our day or in our life.

    Supporting my family means living by my high standards and practicing a strong and uplifting character.

    The more I do that, the more I support my family.

  • How I support myself

    Loved Cherished Adored –

    How I support myself

    Learning to love myself is the practice which turned my life around.

    Learning how to support myself has been the next most valuable skill.

    I  support myself by honoring my desires.

    Discovering what I love to do and doing it is the way I began to support myself.

    Taking tiny steps is the way I support myself.

    I cannot begin if the goal is too big.

    It is okay to have a big goal, but tiny steps are the way to get there.

    I support myself by being aware of my environment.

    I need a calm environment.

    I cannot stay for long in a loud group, even if it is fun.

    I leave when I cannot participate in a fun manner.

    I support myself by honoring my skills.

    One of my skills is the joy of learning.

    I approach new things with joy and eager enthusiasm.

    When I cannot embrace the feeling of joy, I find a different way to learn.

    I support myself by making beautiful things.

    I love to sew, quilt, weave, draw, and write.

    I have set up my studio so that I have room to do each of these things.

    I easily move from one station to another.

    I can work on one project for a while, then move to another.

    I can develop the things which I enjoy in a manner which supports me.

    I support myself by learning things which are difficult and complex for me.

    In order to expand my knowledge and my ability to share, I need to learn technology.

    I repeat the steps over and over again until it is possible for me to do them.

    I break the steps down into the tiniest imaginable particle in order to get started.

    I read the directions or watch the tutorial over and over again, until I have the courage to take the first tiny particle of a step.

    When I cannot do something, I find a way to honor myself in a supportive way.

    This is how I support myself.

  • My business is fulfilling its’ purpose

    My business is fulfilling its’ purpose

    From the very beginning, I have been listening for my new business.

    It is the fulfillment of the directive, “GIVE MORE”.

    I have been learning what to give and how to give more.

    The Universe has been filling me with my purpose and the means of fulfilling it.

    It has led me to expand my skills, increase my outreach, and to communicate more clearly.

    I am the messenger of all I receive from the Universe.

    I exist to listen within and to receive and to take action.

    My business is defined by my relationship with the Infinite.

    It leads me to the exact resources to fulfill my mission and purpose.

    It inspires me.

    It encourages me.

    It strengthens me.

    I am defined by my action and the effect it has.

    I am led to create in a way which reaches those who can most benefit.

    I am given consistency of expression.

    I am given variety of expression.

    I am given effective expression.

    All this serves to convey the message of inner peace.

    We all have this relationship to the Divine when we take on the desire to explore it.

    We are, each one of us, so very precious.

    We each have our own individual purpose to fulfill in expressing aspects of the Infinite.

    We are all unified in this purpose as we inspire and encourage each other.

    Our business prospers as we take our tiny steps toward fulfillment.

    We erase doubt as we move through our fears and see evidence of our changing character.

    We are more uplifted and we uplift others.

    This is our expanding purpose.

  • Gentle Action

    Pebbles of Peace Pathway 2.39 –

    Gently and consistently following through on a plan is a practice of peace.

    Being led to each new step.

    Taking simple steps and learning not to question.

    There is an order here.

    The procession gently waits while I do my part.

    Then, my part complete, it moves on.

  • I am confident about where I am

    Young Persons Mentor/Uplifting Parenting –

    I am confident about where I am

    Even though I can get thrown off balance by all the new things that are happening, I can return to my deep self.

    I know who I am.

    I know where I belong.

    I am where I belong right now.

    As I look at my surroundings and listen within, I can make any changes I need to.

    I have what I need in this moment and in all the other moments.

    I am making wise decisions.

    I am taking action in the best way I can based on what I know.

    Their developing strong character is a constant and ever-present guide.

    They gain confidence and definition where they belong.

    I can trust the Guidance of the Infinite in their lives.

  • I empower myself and others

    Meditation Drawing 3.24 –

    “I empower myself and others.”

  • I am where I belong

    Take Three Deep Breaths –

     I am where I belong, and I know it.

    Everyone I know is where they belong, 

    and they know it.

    Everyone I don’t even know, 

    all over the planet is where they belong, 

    and they know it.

    ———

    It is important to realize that right where we are, right now, is where we belong.

    We do not have to stay here for very long if it is not pleasing and supportive of us.

    We belong where our thoughts and ideals place us.

    We have control over those thoughts.

    When we become conscious of what we are thinking and the habits which we have accepted, we can begin to replace them.

    Immediately the Universe begins to act on our behalf.

    It leads us to take one tiny step and then another.

    As we realize we deserve better, we have taken that first step.

    We deserve to be happy.

    We deserve to be the priority in our own life, even if millenia denote otherwise. 

    Our presence demonstrates our authority.

    We have power backing up our unique identity.

    Discovering our authentic self is the point.

    It validates our powerful, unique expression.

    The discomfort we feel is a gift.

    It begins to move us where we belong.

    Listen.  Trust.  Act.

    The alternative is unacceptable.

    We are developing the strength to express our gifts.

    This is where we belong.

  • The answer you are receiving

    Loved Cherished Adored –

    The answer you are receiving

    When you are making progress in your own life, 

    and  you are not connecting with other people the way you used to, 

    or even the way you would like to, 

    you are getting an answer.

    The Universe is connecting you to where you need to be.

    It is not where you used to be.

    The Universe is connecting you to the people who belong in your current life.

    Not the people from your former life.

    We all retain the feeling of connection from the past.

    If it were useful or productive or positive, it would be happening now.

    Once you engage in your connection to the Universe, life is different for you.

    Connections from the Universe are productive, positive, and useful and happy.

    You no longer relate to people the way you used to.

    You are in a new place in your own mind, and in your new life.

    Wish everyone well, and move on.

    You have done the work out of your pain and anguish.

    It has compelled you forward.

    Trust that work.

    Let the Universe continue to inform you.

    You have a place which loves, cherishes and adores you.

    Become immersed in that place and in that feeling.

    This is where you belong.

    You have outgrown your old place and your old relationships.

    You are ready for better ones.

    Take your new steps.

    Become skilled in your new way of living.

    You can trust your feelings.

    Which feels better?

    I can trust my feelings which move me toward the peace and happiness I desire.

    They exist.

    They are real for me.

    I can find peace and I can move myself into happiness.

    I may take many trial steps to determine my direction.

    I have no responsibility toward anyone else.

    My life is too precious.

    That is my only goal.

    I can discover the truth of myself and take my tiny steps toward this goal.

    I am worth it.

    I have important gifts to share.

    The steps I take toward my freedom are vital to developing my power.

    This world is my peace and I can demonstrate it.

  • Moving back into now

    Your Diamond Mind –

    Moving back into now

    Trying to reconstruct or reconnect with the past is futile.

    You are a new person now.

    Live in the joy and satisfaction of who you are today.

    You have taken the rigorous steps of reinventing yourself through your new connection with the Universe.

    You are feeling a new sense of being loved, cherished, adored, appreciated and recognized.

    You have taken the steps to move yourself to a new place, mentally, emotionally, and even, perhaps, physically.

    You belong in your new, beautiful environment.

    Of course you can look back to the past and make comparisons.

    But do not spend very much time there.

    Where you are is the important thing that is happening.

    You moved away from your pain and replaced it with joy.

    You moved out of your anguish and replaced it with appreciation.

    You moved out of your frustration and despair and replaced it with fulfillment and happiness.

    These are your new companions.

    With these qualities, you attract those of like-mind.

    They, too, are in a state of appreciation and recognition.

    They are happy to greet you here.

    They are the ones who surround you now, and make your transition one of completeness and happiness.

    The old style feelings belong to an old style of living.

    The new present style is your present reality.

    Live fully and embrace where you are.

    Let this feeling fill you completely.

    You have done the work to move outward and upward.

    Enjoy your new view.
