  • Joyful destiny

     A Year Of Joy #42 – Joyful destiny

    You can create a joyful destiny by creating joy in your daily life.

    Take tiny, inspired steps with joy.

    Take tiny, scared steps with joy.

    Take tiny, courageous steps with joy.

    Take tiny steps.

    They will add up and make you very happy.

    A joyful destiny is full of many joyful moments along the way.

    You carry your joy with you.

    Focus on a moment of  joy.

    Let that be your default memory.

    Let it be the start of your foundation.

    A joyful foundation is a sure way to build joy into every step.

    Think about what you want to include in your journey.

    Pack a lot of joy in between all the other layers.

    You are the one person who can decide your destiny.

    Everything else is what you accept or reject.

    Pack so much joy that you can hand it out in packets to everyone you meet.

    Pack lightly, except for joy.

    Pack lots of joy to carry with you.

    Joy does not weigh you down.

    It makes everything light.

    Your tiny steps will build your confidence into long strides.

    Your route, meandering or direct, will be just right.

    Build in lots of exploration for more interest.

    Take your time.

    You carry your destiny within you.

  • A Spiritual Message to Make Me Feel Good

    Pebbles of Peace Word Wall 5.1 – A Spiritual Message to Make Me Feel Good

    That’s what I am listening for.

    The message that will make me feel good is this:

    We are not at war.

    We respect everyone and everything that lives on the earth.

    We choose to share our resources widely so that everyone can live well.

    We choose to respect that everyone has rights and needs.

    We choose to respect that those needs are fulfilled in different ways for different people.

    How can I help?

    Do I just need to stay out of the way?

    I feel I need to share these ideas in all the ways that I can express myself, through  blogs, children’s songs, conversations.

    Let us all evolve and develop and grow in the ways that let all of us live well.

  • I shine in the radiance of loving what I do.

    Love Note 1.42 – I shine in the  radiance of loving what I do.

    There is a radiance to doing what I love.

    It goes beyond the simple creation of ideas.

    The manifestation is a radiance which shines throughout the whole creative process.

    Inspiration and purpose give power to my expression.

    It is a process of consistent devotion and constant expectation.

    As I take my materials in hand, I have a strong desire to begin arranging them.

    Different patterns appear, different combinations of shapes, textures, placements.

    It is an absolute ecstasy of creativity.

    Feeling this joy, I design and create.

    This is the manifestation of my individuality and purpose.

    I have a place and am recognized for my style.

    I am uplifted and empowered.

    I feel the Presence of a rich and strong and comforting Higher Power which guides my life.

    I am relaxed and unafraid.

    I have room to create.

    I gather my riches around me and am satisfied.

    My Studio is a place of joyful expression for me.

  • Pause, for peace

    Meditations and Affirmations 2.3 – Pause, for peace

    Peace comes in the little pauses we take when we do not respond to harrassments.

    As we take our first deep breath, we give ourselves a moment of clarity.

    We can think towards a peaceful solution in our daily life.

    We do not react in traffic.

    We do not pressure others.

    We do not create a crisis for ourselves or others by being disrespectful.

    We pause to allow room for peace.

    The little peaces multiply throughout the day until we can tell we are having a good day.

    We defuse, de-escalate and generally disappoint disruptive forces.

    We prefer kindness and consideration, both to receive it and to give it.

    The little moment, the pause which allows someone to go first, adds to the peace.

    It is everyday peace.

    Politeness in line and when interacting with others adds to the peace.

    We can be impatient, but it is more productive to be patient.

    We can give ourselves a moment to remember an uplifting affirmation.

    We can start a conversation with someone else who is in line.

    We can slow down our breathing to relieve tension.

    There are many little ways to pause for peace.

    It is a conscious practice to add peace to our day.

    It is considerate of our body to practice peace.

    Peace lets us move into joy.

    Peace lets us move into appreciation.

    Peace gives us time to look at our surroundings and to be conscious of how we are acting.

    We add to the beauty of our community by pausing for peace.

    Mulitiplying our peace creates harmonious community.

  • Shout out joy

     A Year Of Joy #41 – Shout out joy

    I can shout out joy.

    I have so many ways that I express joy in my life.

    I am grateful for this radical change.

    Joy comes in quiet ways and bubbles up and gains momentum until it is a shout.

    This comes from daily practice of joy.

    Joy becomes a permanent facet of life.

    It is anticipated.

    It is welcomed.

    It is a practice.

    Devoting one’s life to joy means to embrace it in every way.

    Express joy and let it overflow into the lives of others.

    Inspire others through your joyous life.

    Let it be known that joy is available to everyone who is ready to listen within to their Provider.

    There is special joy for each one of us.

    It is related to our individuality.

    This special joy is meaningful to each one in a unique way.

    It is something to develop and practice.

    When it gains its strength through your expression, it is something, you, too, can shout about.

    The beginning joy must mature through your consistent trust and developing confidence.

    It must gain in surety and certainty through your devotion.

    You willingness to take tiny consistent steps builds your habit of joy.

    When you are filled with joy and give it generously through your overflow, you will know it is time to shout.

    Download your joy from the Universe Who Loves You.

    It has your signature on it.

    Shout it out!

  • To Feel Good

    Pebbles Of Peace Pathway 4.52 – To Feel Good

    After being surrounded by lies, it is good to filter them out.

    Hearing what is good matches our vibration with the Universe.

    In all the self-improvement literature, it stresses walking away or getting out of situations which act to our detriment.

    It is important that we surround ourselves with positive environment, both within our own thoughts, and all around us wherever we work, do business, socialize, and with family.

    I am learning more and more to do this for myself.

    In certain cases, because I have a preferred outcome, I don’t do so well.

    But the more I learn about feeling good within the body I occupy and the life I am living, the more consistently I come back to the inevitable conclusion to let go of my preferences.

    I am gaining more insight on my real role in this world and the importance of carrying it out.

    Everyone else is also involved in discovering their role and carrying it out as well.

    We all have all the resources of the Universe.

    These resources are being bestowed richly and are all helping raise the consciousness of all of us.

    Yes, I am back to the important step in order to feel good of always, always trusting the Universe.
