    Spiritual Treasure Note Series 5 – #38 

    There is a sharing and a balance in my community.

    ——————

    The members of my community share with each other.

    Our combined talents and skills create balance.

    It is so much fun to teach those who are interested.

    It is so empowering to learn something new.

    Our increased capabilities strengthen our community.

    Our increased capabilities bring us joy.

  • Dream

    Meditation Drawing 3.51 Dream

    Our dream defines us.

    The more outrageous the dream, the better.

    It is drawing us into the Infinite.

    As we follow up our dream, we are led into the world of possibilities.

    This is more practical than it sounds, because the Universe has unlimited opportunities for each of us.

    As we continue to daydream, we imagine different ways to accomplish our dream.

    We imagine what it would feel like to be there.

    We surround ourselves with visions of such a life, such an experience, such a community.

    In our inner listening, we open to our Divine connection.

    We feel the Presence of Guidance and opportunities.

    When we discern that our dream is part of our inner life, we may be ready to take our first tiny step towards its accomplishment.

    In this way, we begin to build the foundation for our dream.

    As we continue to follow through, we have the opportunity to see it manifested, along with all its blessings for our community.

    I have had this happen.

    As music teacher, I imagined that it would be fun for my very young preschoolers to be able to make musical decisions.

    Supplied with crayons and manila paper, I began to experiment with symbols for sounds.

    My students and I chose the symbols we liked best.

    This evolved into a music reading readiness method for rhythm instruments, piano, violin and guitar which transitions into reading traditional Western music notation.

    It is so fulfilling to see the expanding ability of my young students as they enjoy creating original musical patterns with their composing cards.

    Because this is an idea which came to me from the Infinite, it has continued to develop.

    I am carried along by its flow, and am willing to continue learning today’s technology in order to share it.

    It is so exciting to be part of the manifestation process of the Infinite.

  • Comfort #37 Comfort of owning one’s life

    Comfort #37 Comfort of owning one’s life

    I was introduced to the idea of taking ownership for my life instead of being a victim.

    I did not see how the past could be affected by the present.

    However, I began to try out the idea of rewriting and redirecting my life in a direction I wanted it to go.

    My first powerful moment came when I realized that “I love me”.

    I discovered that I could “outlove” the negative things that happened to me.

    I began adding to that love by giving myself permission to discover what I love to do and doing it.

    This began to create new, uplifting experiences for me.

    My life took on a new upward direction.

    I have become comfortable with my new life and my new identity.

    I maintain it by listening within.

    I am always given new, comforting messages from the same Source which gave me the first one.

    I am always comforted by the fact that my consistent inner listening practice continues to guide me.

    I am comforted by the continual supply of ideas and howw to execute them.

    When I needed to learn technology, resources appeared.

    I hired an instructor, I invited artists to support me with their artwork, I looked up youtube videos, I embarked on a year-long project to create on online Inner Peace Living Retreat. 

    Each challenging step, including the step of becoming visible, was overcome.

    I tried out and discarded many other avenues until I found this one.

    This is the one that works.

    This is the one that fulfills the mandate I was given from the very beginning, “GIVE MORE”.

    Then I was given something to give!

    This flow continues as I own my life through the constant support and guidance of the Universe.

    This feeling of newness surrounds me.

    I take it in with every breath.

    I love the direction this feeling is taking me.

    I will always follow the direction of newness and freshness and happiness.

    It is taking me where I can feel  uplifted.

    It is taking me in a new direction.

    I am so grateful to find my way each day through inner listening.

  • Supportive

    Meditation Drawing 3.50 Supportive

    To achieve optimum success, we need supportive people around us.

    I have resisted this idea, having lived in isolation while overcoming the obstacles in my life.

    As I have gained new footing, I have been able to look out around me and to acknowledge my safe surroundings.

    My increasing strength has allowed me to move into the world with more and more confidence.

    With my new definition of who I am, I am able to live without fear for my survival.

    My healing work for myself has resulted in a body of work to help others heal themselves.

    The Universe has always provided the support I need.

    As I share my work, I gain increasing support.

    I am grateful for those who have been my companions as I keep taking my new tiny steps.

    Our desire to share the good that comes into our life allows us to continue receiving support.

    The right ideas and connections are continually attracted to this desire.

    The power of the deisre to receive and share good sets up an optimum flow.

    Resources appear from unexpected and surprising places.

    They fit together flawlessly.

    We must maintain our courage in order to keep moving forwad.

    The old habits and patterns are eroded by our advancing progress.

    Our optimum success is the uplfiting and healing of those who need our work.

    Our example shows that it can be done.

    Each of us has the ability to connect with the Divine and Its’ Power within us.

    Our deep, consistent inner listening provides this connection.

    Each step forward is not only for ourselves.

    We are increasing support for good in everyone who hears our healing messages.

    We can all be and do good.

    We can increase well-being for all as we move ourselves forward with our tiny steps.

    We are all that precious to the Universe.

  • Comfort of taking responsibility

    Comfort #36 Comfort of taking responsibility

    I loved the discovery that I was responsible for my life.

    Instead of being a victim, I could take control.

    I could introduce new ideas which were uplfiting and supportive for me.

    This has been so encouraging.

    I have seen the difference as I have been moved out of depression and anxiety into calm and confidence.

    I am finding my right place and right livelihood.

    The knowledge that it was up to me to choose my thoughts gave me my first hint of freedom.

    I did not know where it would take me, but I knew it would redirect me.

    I am grateful to find that my new direction allows me to make continual uplifting progress as I accept and release the inspiration which comes to me.

    I have learned to take responsibility for my time and to use it to listen within.

    Even though daily life reminds me of memories from the past, I am able to create new experiences and to rewrite my daily life.

    I am led to create wonderful new inspirational series of art and affirmations.

    These ideas fill my day and make it so uplifting.

    I am comforted by the continual flow of ideas as I listen within.

    This allows me to fulfill my responsibility for living in the present moment.

    I am responsible for taking my tiny steps of action as I am directed from within.

    The services which I need to support me become readily available as I need them.

    My life has become calmer as I move into my new flow by releasing the negativity from the past.

    I am responsible for the way I conduct my daily life, with expectation and happiness.

    I move myself away from old habits and into the present moment.

    I am willing to do what it takes to add calm to my day.

    I do not rush or create tension for myself.

    I know that I am being supported by the Universe that Loves Me.

    I listen and act in a  way which responds to that knowledge.

  • The Peace of Doing My Work First

    Pebbles of Peace Pathway 3.47 –
    The Peace of Doing My Work First

    It is a new thing to realize that my work is the most important thing I have to do.

    Not attending someone else’s meeting.

    Not being a member of an organization.

    But doing my work, developing my ideas, sharing my inspiration.

    It is an impulsion I would not wish to ignore.

    It is my most fulfilling feeling.

    It satisfies me, excites me and gives me a sense of fulfilling purpose.

    Since I am working from within to “release the hidden splendor”, there is a flow.

    I receive, then I write, I share.

    This is my day.

    Everything else flows from it.
