Preparing an Offering

Preparing an Offering
I was feeling a little low, and I decided to read some of my own work.
I chose one of the series I am working on.
I was so grateful to feel the power and momentum and inspiration in my writing.
The messages that come to me as I listen are so very precious.
I am grateful to be open to receiving.
It makes me glad to receive the original offering from the Universe.
Then I prepare to offer it to others.
I recieve the offering once again when I read it.
What a wonderful abundance!
It is a gift to be able to listen within and to receive.
I love that the gift is ongoing whenever I tune in.
I tune in when I am happy and want to increase my happiness.
I am prompted to tune in when I am unhappy and want to increase my happiness.
The offerings are always uplifting and satsifying.
They require openness and deep listening.
They require willingness to act.
The attention I give them creates a flow of appreciation to the Universe.
I honor the Universe by listening within.
I acknowledge where my offerings come from.
I am obedient and disciplined.
My consistency demonstrates my trust.
I can offer as I receive.
I can always listen.
I can tune out any doubt or discouragement as an unwelcome distraction.
I am here to uplift through my offerings.
I prepare myself daily.

Share With Confidence

Share with confidence.
I am grateful to share with confidence.
Everyone I know is grateful to share with confidence.
Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, is grateful to share with confidence.
————-
As we take our first tiny steps, we do so through an impulsion.
There is something we must say.
Each time we respond to that impulse, we are building up a practice.
This practice becomes our confidence.
Our tiny steps add up into a body of work.
We seek out ways to share, once again, impelled by the Universe.
The Universe has prepared all the steps and venues for sharing.
Our search and inner listening brings us to them.
We receive the help we need.
Everything is waiting for our discovery.
The myriad ways our discovery will serve others is yet to be revealed.
Our tiny steps prepare the foundation and then build on it.
Step by glorious step it takes form.
A service, a product, a conversation, a writing, a book, a dance, a movement.
There is a universe of possibilities.
We are dipping into several of them for a taste.
Which one activates our full commitment?
How do we feel most fulfilled?
We engage at the level of our interest and passion.
We fill in the details to make it complete and whole.
We nurture and cultivate our project.
We love it and we love ourselves.
When it is ready, we release it with confidence.

Pebbles of Peace Pathways 2.31

Where I Find Peace
I find peace in being my deep self.
When I am agitated and looking for solutions, I find I have to take myself into the mental realm and practice of who I really am.
When I get in touch with my deep self, I find peace.
It is always waiting for me there.
It took a long time to figure out what and where peace is for me.
But now that I have it, even the most habitual behavior from the past challenges me to return to my peace.
I have a practice of peace that is truly who I am.
I am an authentic practitioner of peace.
I cannot revert to motherhood, music teacher, wife, unless it it an extension of my peace.
This is a new and valuable priority for me.
It is an important new way to live.

Persist, gently

Persist gently
Whatever is in your heart, listen to it.
You are being spoken to, gently.
It is your truth.
It is what always brings you to peace.
You have a gift of your true, uplifting nature.
You are on a path of willingness and discovery.
Even when there are obstacles, you can feel there is something ahead of you that is good.
Persist.
Persist, gently.
You are being given the resources for your journey.
You are dissolving the lies that tell you that you are less than you truly are.
You are worthy.
You are beautiful.
You are gracious.
You are generous.
You are able.
You are competent.
Your heart is telling you which direction to go for fulfillment and happiness.
Trust it.
Practice the habit of listening within.
The Universe values you to send you so many wonderful ideas to share.
You create them.
You release them.
Others are inspired by them and must have them.
You are supported so well.

Love’s Embrace

Pebbles of Peace Pathway 2.30
Love’s Embrace
Even though I am doing my best to move forward, it does not appear that I am being allowed to do so.
I will have to listen for a completely new direction and keep my own counsel.
I will have to let my Higher Power completely take over.
I am living next door to an addictive negative person.
But something loves me more than any amount of negativity.
I have proved that in my own life by moving from from early childhood trauma to independent adult confidence.
Apparently, I am being given the gift of a new way.
I will keep listening for it.
I know that Love is infinite.
We are all in Love’s embrace.
All of us.
I will listen for the love that is carrying me forward.

Trust the work.

Trust the work.
Who knows when you will get “there”!
The glory is in the work.
Do it and reap the joy!
The power is in the work.
Live in that power.
The energy, the inspiration, the commitment, the happiness.
All are in the work.
Do the work because you are led.
Do the work because you are impelled.
Do the work, because it is in your nature.
Do the work because it needs to be done.
Do the work because you choose to.
Do not miss the opportunity to do the work.
What else would you be doing?
Relaxing and letting the world go by, unchallenged?
There are so many of us, all precious beings.
There are so many ways to encourage, support, rebel, heal.
All of it engages us.
All of it involves us.
We are here to be alive, to participate in this amazing work.
Let us do the work until we overpower the lies.
We all deserve the right to be happy and fulfilled.
We all have the ability to support, uplift and prosper.
There is room for our interactive, interdependent, co-operative, creative expression.
What a beautiful life for all of us!

Adding Joy

Adding Joy
I am so grateful to see more joy in my life and in my days.
I commited to discovering what I love to do and taking the steps to do it.
This has paid off over and over again and goes so much deeper into my entire life.
Even though it took several years to achieve the whole feeling, I am grateful I began adding elements of what I love to do wherever I could.
I began to look forward to collecting supplies for a project and then taking bits of time to work on it until it was done.
Often I had more than one project going at a time, because I would have to wait to figure out what I wanted to do at different points.
I was able to find others of like-mind and it was fun to work on similar ideas together.
This feeling of community broke the isolation I had been living in for so long.
Joy is an attracting factor.
It attracts you to what you love and it attracts you to others who celebrate the same kinds of enjoyment.
It is wonderful to have support as you figure out the next step;
It is uplifting to receive encouragement and suggestions as you ponder the overall effect.
Week by week, step-by-step, you create a monument to joy by your dedication.
You honor yourself in an uplifting manner.
You leave your sadness and desperation behind as you commit to a class or project.
You move yourself into the mentality of enjoyment.
You become more skillful.
You are willing to take chances and to experiment.
Your whole approach changes as you embrace this joyful aspect of yourself and make room to express it.
The more you do this, the more you move in the direction of your dreams.
And one day you live there.
