  • Now is Peace

    Pebbles of Peace –

    Now is Peace

    I take my deep breath and I breathe in the peace.

    I feel it permeate throughout my whole body, soul and mind.

    Now is peace.

    In this moment, I have moved myself into peace.

    I can do this wherever I am, at any time.

    I can move myself into a feeling of peace and clarity.

    I do not have to rush to make a decision.

    I can make a decision in peace.

    I am not hurried, but I am always where I need to be.

    Such is the power of peace.

    I choose to leave the disturbing cycle of news and to live in a peaceful place of Guidance.

    I am always certain to be in my right place, doing what is mine to do.

    I am here to uplift and to live in peace.

    My contribution is discerned through inner listening at every possible moment.

    Even though I may think I know what to do, I can always listen and take higher action.

    My moment is always in the Now.

    The past no longer enslaves me to its view.

    The new possibilities are for peace, within me and all around me.

    This is true for each person.

    As we create our peace, it permeates into the atmosphere.

    We are redirecting the course of the world.

    We are choosing peace.

    We are choosing universal well-being and comfort for all through inner listening.

    We each have this power.

    Let’s see what happens when we do it collectively.

  • Where I stand now

    Loved Cherished Adored –

    Where I stand now

    In this moment, I stand on who I am.

    Who I have demonstrated myself to be.

    What my goals are, what my accomplishments are, my inner thoughts, my outer actions.

    I stand on my new perception of myself as loved, cherished and adored.

    I stand on my present happiness and the happiness I can expect.

    I stand on my identity the way the Universe sees me.

    I am so grateful to be in this present moment where I can vector myself anywhere.

    I am not a person living in the past.

    I began telling myself that I live in beautiful surroundings long before it happened.

    I began telling myself, “I  love me”, the most powerful thing I have ever learned.

    I am standing on the ground created by those actions.

    My inner listening has teamed me up with my Source.

    I get my information and identity from inner Guidance.

    I  take my tiny steps of action over and over again.

    My new life is the result.

    I can acknowledge many stepping stones on my way out of negativity and fear.

    That is the only significance of the past to me.

    Opportunities were created for me to move myself into a new view, and I have done it.

    I embrace myself where I stand now.

    I am grateful for the peace and the inspiration.

    I am grateful for those who have done the work and pointed the way.

    I am grateful to do the work and to add my voice of encouragement.

    We can create a new life for ourselves.

    We can love ourselves enough to take the tiny steps over and over again to form new habits.

    This connects us with the Power to change our lives.

  • Passionate devotion to ideas

    Your Diamond Mind –

    Passionate Devotion to Ideas

    It is so much fun to come up with a new, effective idea.

    This happened to me over and over again as a music teacher.

    During my morning spiritual study, I would listen for what I needed for the day.

    I had three notebooks, one for spiritual ideas, one for errands, and one for music teaching ideas.

    During my study, I wrote down the ideas that came to me.

    It was so much fun to implement them.

    I still retain my devotion, even though I am no longer in the classroom.

    There are new ways to express the ideas which come to me.

    My goal is to share inspiration and peace.

    This is possible in many different ways.

    Uplifting conversation is one of the ways which is available.

    We do not have to be stuck in the distressing news cycles.

    We can take a deep breath and listen within for a different view.

    We can be led to take tiny steps in an uplifting direction.

    We can build a completely new life through our tiny steps.

    I have.

    I love to be engaged in uplifting expression.

    In addition to writing, I have learned how to draw.

    My main drawing experience is what I  call “Meditation Drawings”.

    It is a calming expression for me, and came to me when I was experiencing debilitating panic attacks.

    Other things I enjoy with passionate devotion are weaving, sewing, and making textile art.

    When we pay attention to our intuition, it guides us to fulfilling expression.

    It is our communion with our Higher  Power, the Universe  Who Loves Us.

    It is our way to express our purpose in the world.

  • Passionate Peace

    Pebbles of Peace –

    Passionate Peace

    I live in a peaceful world.

    It is through my inward communion with my Higher Power.

    Even though I hear disturbing news, I am able to address it differently.

    I take a deep breath and listen within.

    My deep breath moves me a step away from the disturbance.

    I am able to hear someting else, the Presence of peace.

    This has guided me when I needed to find a lost child.

    It has directed me to take a different route home.

    It has given me a new life, step-by-step, with long-term healing.

    I am dedicated to this new life.

    It is my passion.

    I am able to hear messages of calm, even in the  middle of disturbances around me.

    I share these messages so that others may find calm.

    My dedication tells me that something else is possible.

    It is possible to move away from stress.

    It is possible to find a new way of doing things.

    I do not have to figure out the answers.

    Passion and Commitment

  • What I am passionate about

    Loved Cherished Adored –

    What I am passionate about

    My passions are my commitments.

    I am committed to writing every morning.

    I am passionate about sharing the spiritual ideas and messages which come to me.

    The first thing I do is listen within for what I am to share.

    This has come about through my own need for healing.

    As I dialogued with the Universe in order to figure out how to fix my life, ideas began coming to me.

    I wrote down my thoughts in a series of spiral notebooks for years, and then began posting them as blogs.

    My mental questions always came back as spiritual answers from the Universe.

    This led me to think along different lines which have changed my life.

    Instead of fixing the old life, I have been moved into a completely new one.

    I am living on what feels like a completely different timeline.

    I was passionate about my old life, distressed, disordered, diseased.

    I am no longer stressed, my life has a different kind of order, and I am healthy.

    My order is my priority.

    I have discovered what I love to do and I am doing it.

    I am aligned with who I am.

    I am able to make healthy choices about what I do, and how I do it.

    I listen within and am Guided.

    I have an unlimited, wise Source.

    I love me.

    That is how the Universe sees me and how I see myself, as loved, cherished, and adored.

    I maintain my commitment.

    I am faithful and inspired.

    I live a life of joyful devotion.
