  • Joyful generosity

     A Year Of Joy #20 – Joyful generosity

    We move ourselves into generosity through joy.

    Once we begin to make room for giving, it increases through joy.

    I love the feeling of overflowing love and overflowing joy.

    It allows me to give generously.

    I love supporting everything and everyone I possibly can.

    I am content to support in little ways consistently.

    That allows my giving nature to expand.

    I can back it up with my time and attention and money.

    I can allow it to flow through me as ideas which become writing and art.

    I can bring joy into my uplifting conversation.

    I can be generous with my understanding to others who are in pain.

    I can be gentle with my joy.

    My joyful generosity can act as a reminder of joy which always comes from within.

    There are many things which remind me of joyful generosity.

    As gardens fill with flowers, I am reminded of the generous giving found in Nature.

    Color, shape, scent, all add to the joy.

    Peaceful communication adds to joy.

    Harmony as we all travel to work or school adds to joy.

    We bring joy with us and we share it generously when we give respect and dignity to everyone.

    It is a relief to communicate with the expectation that our needs will be met.

    We all love to give the best service possible.

    Our joy expands as we give it.

    We can be generous with our time and attention and our expert knowledge.

    People feel comforted by what they receive with integrity.

    Our day fills with joyful generosity through our active intention to uplift ourselves and others.

  • Listening Deeply

    Pebbles of Peace Pathway 4.31 – Listening Deeply

    The long, deep, calming breaths that we take are life-sustaining.

    Not just for the oxygen they bring in.

    Not just for the heartbeat they regulate.

    They are the acknowledgement that all is well.

    That the only requirement is to be steady.

    There is nothing else we have to do.

    Though our world may be rocked, the Universe is still calm.

    We still have access to our Inner Guidance.

    The disruption of our lives may be sudden or it may be gradual, but change is going to happen.

    We still have this deep inner guidance that is always there for us.

    Returning to listen for it, is a step toward peace in itself.

    More than a storm warning’s message, it tells us where we need to go.

    We go deeper in thought and reflection and we listen there.

    All is well.

    We let the message within be delivered to us.

    We listen and then we act on that knowledge.

    All is well.

  • I trust my intuition.

    Love Note 1.19 – I trust my  intuition

    I am discovering a sense within me which is always responsive to solutions.

    I naturally feel the right direction to go.

    I may be in my car or studying when an idea comes to me which is uniquely appropriate to the situation.

    I have learned to listen to my intuition and to take action when I am motivated to do so.

    Sometimes, an idea is introduced, but it is not time to take action on it.

    I watch as the evidence and resources pile up until it is time to take action and then I do so.

    Each time I think about the idea, I enjoy it and nurture it.

    When it is the right time, I am naturally moved to action.

    I can trust my intuition because I know how to listen calmly and patiently.

    I can feel the presence of the idea, and I simply know what steps to take.

    I am deeply engaged in listening and not in promoting my own opinion.

    That way I can hear the direction and act on it.

    I appreciate the living thoughts which I experience and the gentle nudges I get when it is time to present an idea.

    I am companioned by the sense of presence and timing, which I attribute to intuition.

  • Still

    MD 4.33 Still

    I am still as I listen within.

    I wait to hear today’s message of uplifting harmony.

    I follow stillness with mindful reflection and go back into stillness.

    I want to be sure to hear the message without any interference or distraction.

    I guard what I allow to come into my thought.

    I stay away from dramatic news cycles.

    I am here to add peace to the world.

    I guard the purity and innocence of my thought.

    I affirm the right for everyone to stop the wave of fear by taking a deep breath and moving themselves into a moment of peace.

    I do this for myself several times a day.

    My clear message comes through when I do this.

    The Infinite Divine has many solutions.

    There are answers, and they are being enacted as people become conscious of them.

    Each day of awareness creates powerful, active solutions.

    They come from a deep place of trust in the enriching power of deliberate action according to law.

    All law which creates well-being for all comes from the Universe’s Care For All Of Us.

    It is immediate and far-reaching.

    We are never left without help.

    Many of us have manifested help and Guidance individually throughout our lives.

    Now we are doing it collectively.

    Our daily practice of stillness allows peace to permeate our being and the atmosphere around us.

    We create trust in Good and watch it dissolve its opposition.

    We take part in the many tiny steps which create good, harmony and well-being for all.

    We proceed from stillness every time.

  • Uplifting joy

     A Year Of Joy #19 – Uplifting joy

    Joy is always uplifting.

    Our daily practice of joy transforms our life.

    It gives us a new way of looking at everything we do.

    We fill our hearts with joy and we let it overflow around us.

    When we are shocked by a tragedy, we must take the time to regain our peace and our balance.

    We listen to our hearts and feel the fulness of our love.

    Even in grief, we have the power to remember a moment of joy to uplift ourselves.

    Love fulfills our heart and we let it overflow.

    We can uplift ourselves through love and we can find our joy once again.

    We put on joy from within.

    When we focus on love, we find joy.

    We turn from elements which depress us and find light and joy from within.

    We are that precious.

    We live in a joyful and loving Universe.

    It has provided an unending spark of light and love and joy which are always within us.

    We draw on it to uplift us in our grief or depression.

    Soon we find something to add to our spark within and make it brighter.

    We turn to this and the spark of light and joy and peace grows.

    We are able to uplift ourselves each time.

    We gain the comfort of being able to find our peace and our joy.

    We live in the promise and fulfillment of this act every time we do it.

    We learn to uplift ourselves consistently.

    We become transformed by this process.

    Joy is there for us; it is possible.

    It is our practice of uplifting joy which comes to characterize our life.

  • Synchronicity

    Pebbles of Peace Pathway 4.30 – Synchronicity

    We prepare ourselves for what is important in our lives when we take control of defining our desires.

    When that priority becomes consistent, things begin to align with it.

    When there are many factors to define and to embrace and include and love, it may require more thought.

    When that thought foundation is laid, and everything that is needed has been loved into place, the Universe brings Its immense resources to bear, and manifests our desire.

    This appears as “synchronicity”, where everything falls into place at the same time through forces beyond our control.

    This is the most peaceful way to work.

    Replacing panic and crisis management with the ability to trust our desires and to cultivate them without any doubt and without a timetable, lets the Universe move everything into place at Its appointed time.

    We are the vehicle for our particular expression.

    No one else can express exactly what it is that we desire.

    Even if two people were offering the same services next door to each to each other, the Universe would provide a clientele which has a defined and abundant preference for each one.

    When we cooperate with the Universe, this destroys fear of competition.

    “Synchronicity” begins to operate more and more consistently as we do our part.

  • I love the strength  I bring to us.

    Love Note 1.18 – I love the strength  I bring to us.

    When I express my high ideals, I bring strength to myself and to my community.

    When I create expression which uplifts and inspires, I move us to higher ground.

    When I stick to my course and serve my higher purpose, I unite with those who see my work and who are uplifted by it.

    I feel the power of my unique individuality to unite us and bring strength to higher goals.

    My high ideals, expressed in art and in action, dilute the downward tendency of our harassed population.

    High ideals reside in all of us; the more we express them, the more reality they create.

    We can strengthen the power of unselfish and generous goals and move ourselves and others toward them.

    There really is no lack as we strengthen our ability to give belief to the good in all of us.

    The solutions found by others who have considered the world in a generous light have benefitted all of us throughout time.

    By doing the work we love, we create that possibility for others.

    We help create community which supports individuals to be their best selves.

    We create interdependence which strengthens and unites in an uplifting and inspiring way.

    My one effort ripples outward to those who are receptive and strengthens and inspires them.
