  • I embrace the messages which tell me I am loved, cherished and adored along my life-path.

    Life-Path/Story-Maze #51 – I embrace the messages which tell me I am loved, cherished and adored along my life-path.

    The messages which tell me I am loved, cherished and adored come from the Universe of infinite possibilities.

    They counteract any negative messages.

    These messges inspire the tiny steps which move me into a life of abundance and prosperity.

    The effect these messages have had in my life impel me to share them.

    It is possible for all of us to feel loved and cherished and adored.

    When we listen within and take the tiny steps consistently, they lead us into a more secure life.

    Our more secure life allows us to share the possibilities through cooperation.

    We are led to do uplifting community projects.

    We are led to improve the skills of those around us.

    We are inspired to take a stand for the untapped talents within all community members.

    Our spirit of cooperation leads us to become a leader.

    As we bear witness to the power of the Infinite in our own life, it is a call to action for so many others.

    As we move out of negativity through the power of listening within and taking tiny steps, we see its’ effects around us.

    We see its’ effects in the inspiration we create in the lives of many more.

    Being loved and cherished and adored is a reality.

    It became a possibility when I questioned the direction my life was going.

    That question opened me up to a new Universe.

    This new Universe had a different message for me.

    A compassionate message.

    A message which gave me hope.

    A message which continued manifesting itself until I moved myself into a different way of living.

    There is a way to live in the Universe Who Loves Us.

    When we listen within and take our tiny steps, it becomes  inevitable.

  • Create

    Meditation Drawing 4.14 Create

    You are the artist of your own life.

    You create it according to how you see yourself.

    You can change your view at any time.

    Regardless of how you have viewed yourself in the past, you can redraw and rewrite your life.

    You do it through desire and language and action.

    Your desire leads you to put the life you want to lead in words.

    As you listen to your new words, you are led to take new action.

    You have new feelings toward your new action.

    You are happy, fulfilled, successful.

    My new words were that I am loved, cherished and adored.

    This led me to journal in a way which expressed those ideas.

    Later, I took the action of starting a blog.

    This led to me sharing my ideas more widely.

    This led me to more visibility.

    I received positive responses to my inspirational posts.

    I learned to draw.

    I added art to my meditations.

    I learned how to create ebooks of my collections of meditations and art on a particular topic.

    This led to a shop.

    Each step of creativity builds on the previous one.

    The consistency of inner listening continually brings new ideas which can be put into words which can be put into action which creates your new life.

    As long as you maintain your desire for an uplifted life and nurture it, it will feed you with more ideas in the direction of your desire.

    Take your deep breath, and remember how precious you are.

    Then listen, write and take action.

  • The Last Stand

    Pebbles of Peace Pathways 4.11 –
    The Last Stand

    Once all the illusions are stripped away, there is only the original lie.

    I was surprised at its vehemence, and the conviction and strength with which it reacted, to deter me from my goal.

    But I had built up such a conviction of light, love and a sense of the divine within me that I was only a witness to that battle.

    It made its last stand in my mind.

    I was shocked and surprised at its hatefulness.

    No wonder it had to hide for so long.

    If it had been seen and exposed for what it was, it would never have been allowed to stay and work its secret ways into my life.

    But pouring in the light and developing the conviction that, despite all I was taught during all the child trauma, I do, indeed, love myself, did defeat the enemy of the first lie.

    And I am whole.

    I am now on my own calm ground, in peace of my own mind and in peace of surroundings which I choose for myself.

    I have that power.
