  • Continuing Peace in the World

    Shared Global Vision –

    Continuing Peace in the World

    We add to the peace in the world every time we go into the world in a peaceful manner.

    It may be a challenge to maintain it, but peace is where we start.

    In our work routines, our errands, our provision for our household, we reference the deep peace we establish each morning.

    In our inner listening, we receive strong, gentle messages which allow us to govern our day with peace.

    The gentleness is always there.  It is an ever-Presence.

    The strength is also there.

    It is never broken, and remains a reference point for all our actions.

    We find that our peace attracts helpful clerks and cashiers and salespeople.

    We are directed to parking spots.

    Little conveniences show up out in the world when we enter it with peace.

    We can add peace to the news we hear.

    We can take a deep breath and know there is a solution which is available as people tune into it by filling up with peace instead of fear.

    Our place in the world is determined by our peace.

    It is wonderful to read about the solutions which are being developed by people in every field.

    As they do their research and listen for solutions, answers show up.

    I am grateful to be able to search for these news stories and to find them.

    There is so much compassion in people who are looking for and finding solutions.

    That is what they are open to.

    We receive what we are open to receive.

    From the order and peace in our home, we can be open to solutions in the world.

    We can take our own steps as they are revealed to us and we can support those who are already taking steps for continuing peace.

    As we nurture well-being for all, those are the solutions we are open to receive.

    We receive them and others join with us to implement them.

  • Continuing Peace at Home

    Young Persons Mentor/Uplifting Parenting –

    Continuing Peace at Home

    We establish peace in our home by routines and getting the support we need.

    This establishes a base for beautiful surroundings within the home.

    Our practice of inner listening establishes peace within ourselves.

    This is where all the decisions originate, in peace.

    When we are led by peace, we see to the running of  the home in an effective manner

    All the anticipated needs are provided for.

    We have a strong foundation from which to deal with the new challenges which inevitably come in from the outside world.

    We are here to add stability to this world from our overflowing calm and peace within our home.

    We filter out what does not belong inside and immerse ourselves in the rich peace which greets us.

    By noticing the contrast, we are ready to move into our practice of peace.

    As each family member returns home, we take a deep breath of peace to bestow on them.

    This is where we belong, in an atmosphere of peace.

    From our deep resources within, we draw forth more peace to fill up our household.

    Whatever is disturbing can be addressed through peace.

    We can maintain our space and our vocabulary.

    We can promote an uplifting level of conversation as we discuss what is appropriate.

    We can respond with grace when we are challenged.

    There are many ways to do things, and this is the way which we choose to share in our household.

    We are promoting peace and health and harmony.

    We are confident in our stand.

    We have our support and routines and rest.

    This gives us good balance.

    This gives us continuing peace.

  • A Postive and Beneficial Effect

    Pebbles of Peace Pathway 3.13 –

    A Positive and Beneficial Effect

    Why does writing these ideas down have such a positive and beneficial effect for me?

    As I am searching for answers, I release my thought to find them.

    Since I want to live better, my thought “within” always comes back with something good that I will accept.

    My goal is to have a more enlightened way to approach my life, so that is what I receive back.

    As I read inspired writers, it gives me a greater sense of my worth.

    As I explore a different view of my worth, I am finding it.

    Each culture has definitions of worth.

    I am finding that my worth is in what deeply satisfies me.

    From my readings, I find that is the case with others of many different cultures.

    That is worth knowing.

    How we define ourselves and how we define our satisfaction is how we define our worth.

    Since I have found other writers to help me assess myself and redefine my sense of worth, I imagine that I am also contributing in this way.

  • Power of Peaceful Ideas

    Your Diamond Mind –

    Power of Peaceful Ideas

    Ideas which bring peace to us expand to bring peace to others.

    When we learn to live a life of peace, it counteracts the disturbances and violence of the news.

    We learn to reject what does not bring well-being for all.

    We learn to continue to expand our peace even in the midst of the news and advertising harassment.

    We have a life which characterizes the inner listener.

    We are prepared for whatever may come through quiet, habitual, daily listening within.

    The ideas which we share are peaceful ideas.

    They generate peace when they are practiced.

    We live in a way which promotes well-being for all.

    No one is left out.

    This generates peace.

    When we are all able to contribute our skills and talents and gifts to creating a peaceful community, we all do well.

    We all know each other.

    No one is left in isolation.

    We value and respect everyone.

    We are all worthy.

    We look for opportunities for self-improvement and for opportunities to offer skills development through sharing our knowledge.

    Whatever is needed in our community can be met by those who are willing to learn new skills.

    With this community-wide practice, we have an overflow of gifts to share.

    We invite other communities to develop their local resources.

    We invite them to practice daily inner listening, individually, and collectively.

    Whatever is brought for common cause can be acted on in a way which contributes well-being for all.

    This is the greatest gift for all of us, at any time.

  • Steps in Peace

    Pebbles of Peace –

    Steps in Peace

    Our peaceful steps show that we can make progress calmly.

    We learn to take them as we receive inner guidance.

    We practice our tiny steps daily until they are a habit.

    This is the way we get things done.

    There is no doubt that we will take them.

    We are listening to our inner guidance, not the outward world.

    We are not overcome by the disturbing news or harassing advertising.

    We take our tiny steps in peace.

    We create more peace.

    We live in our present moment.

    We are not dragged down by the past.

    We have our own inner upliftment.

    It is so beautiful we want everyone to have it

    We show the way by our tiny, consistent steps of peace.

    We encourage through our example.

    We note the distance we have come.

    It is enormous.

    Being able to move from depression, anxiety and despair is a tremendous accomplishment.

    Tiny steps create the new foundation for our life.

    They change the direction of our life and fortify us.

    They give us confidence and deep peace.

    We are able to do big things the way we do small ones.

    Everything is a tiny step backed by the power of the Divine.

    There are no limitations.

    Everyone can join in.

  • I take the next step along my life path.

    Life-Path Story Maze #1 –

     I take the next step along my life-path.

    My life-path evolves step by step.

    When I am unsure of my path, I listen within.

    The message that comes to me is in the deep peace of quiet listening.

    All day, I can continue to receive the messages which guide my steps.

    Here I am.

    What is the next step?

    I am Guided from within.

    Perhaps, the message is to wait patiently.

    Perhaps the message is to take a tiny step.

    Step by step, my life-path is revealed to me.

    I may be quite far along my life-path before I realize the shape it is taking.

    Only from the perspective of much listening and acting is it even visible.

    The uncertainty which caused me to listen within has changed to sure Guidance.

    I approach my day differently.

    I can see that I have a connection to the Divine.

    That certainty changes things.

    I have a direction from within.

    I am not motivated by outward things.

    My sole goal is not to accumulate; it is to express.

    What is it that I am to express?

    Gentleness and kindness in everything.

    I must be gentle and kind to myself before I can express it authentically to others.

    I build my path on gentleness and kindness.

    Each tiny step increases the gentleness and kindness in the world.

    By listening within, I am worthy as I take my next step.

  • More inner peace

    Loved Cherished Adored –

    More Inner Peace

    The peace we are seeking comes from within.

    It is always available to us as we listen for it.

    It is not connected to what is around us.

    It does not happen through following the directives from outside our heart.

    We are all impelled from within to find what is most satisfying.

    This is the gift we have to offer.

    This is the feeling we want to maintain for ourselves.

    This is the feeling which surrounds us and which uplifts those who tune into it.

    Our inner peace is the most valuable gift we have to offer.

    It lets us think clearly.

    It lets us convey ideas effectively.

    It lets us live with conviction.

    It lets us change our circumstances.

    We are most attracted to what is lovely in our life.

    Our inner peace lets us spend more time there.

    We are able to convey this peace through our daily actions.

    We are able to live in harmony with our improved circumstances.

    We are able to live a completely different life freed from fear or limitation.

    There are no limitations on the inner peace which we can learn to cultivate.

    We can express it in every step we take as it becomes more of a practice.

    We become more sure of ourselves and live with confidence.

    We share our wealth of confidence.

    We live without dread even in changing times.

    There is always an answer through inner listening.

    This is how we share our inspiration and peace.
