  • Live your life beautifully

    Loved Cherished Adored –

     Live Your Life Beautifully

    With your first breath, you want to take in the beauty all around you.

    If it doesn’t feel beautiful, what is the first beautiful thing you can do?

    Perhaps it is to start your day slowly.

    Perhaps it is to remember something you are grateful for.

    Perhaps it is to pick up your socks.

    Every tiny step you take with full compassion for yourself begins to create beauty in your life.

    Most of us are overwhelmed.

    Carving a tiny little corner for yourself by doing a simple thing is one way to start creating the beautiful life you want to live.

    As you are considerate of yourself, do not hurry.

    Begin gently.

    You are creating an environment for yourself which has room for beauty.

    It is important to be patient with yourself as you discern what makes a beautiful life.

    Perhaps you are not used to thinking about what makes life beautiful for you.

    Take your time.

    Look around you.

    Think inwardly about beautiful moments you have experienced.

    Are there some special steps you can take to move yourself into a beautiful life?

    Do you want to visit more museums?

    Do more creative activities?

    Take in more concerts?

    Learn a new skill to create beauty?

    Spend more time in Nature?

    Visit a botanical garden?

    As you make a a conscious decision to include more beauty in your life, you are opening yourself to the endless possibilities in the Universe.

  • Connecting to powerful action

    Shared Global Vision –

    Connecting to Powerful Action

    The most powerful action I can take is to listen within.

    I connect to the right thing at the right time.

    I have come to trust this practice.

    It is evident in everything which I do.

    It shows up on the outside when I listen on the inside consistently.

    I do not fight the fears and pressures around me, but they are naturally diluted and cease to have any power over me through my quiet, consistent practice.

    This has been taking form in my life over many years.

    There is enough power in each tiny step for me to take the next one and the next.

    I have been building a new foundation.

    It has moved me into beautiful surroundings.

    It has given me new, good work to do.

    It has given me new skills to develop.

    Everything has moved me a direction of power over my environment through connecting within.

    I am creating a new world for myself and for those who are being uplifted by my work.

    By reading and studying and listening for ideas to journal on, each  person contributes the most powerful elements to world peace.

    By not being moved off our peaceful track, or by getting back on it over and over again, we show a different power in our life.

    The power of inner peace.

    This power is infinite, it is available all the time, anywhere we are, under any circumstances.

    This becomes our focus.

    It changes our life.

    It dilutes the atmosphere in a powerful, quiet, gentle, persistent, consistent way.

    There is no stopping it.

    That is how we connect to powerful action.

  • Connecting to Guidance

    Young Persons Mentor/Uplifting Parenting –

    Connecting to Guidance

    Guarding and maintaining your inner peace has a significant effect on your household.

    It is important to take the time to do this and to create support around you so you can devote yourself to this practice.

    You will find your way through many challenges and obstacles by establishing a foundation of inner peace before you do anything else in the morning.

    You can refresh your inner peace during the day.

    You know what it feels like so you can bring yourself back on track as needed.

    You do not have to have all the answers, but you can listen within to find them.

    You are a worthy and valuable head of household.

    Everything you do to contribute to the well-being of your household is important.

    As long as you know you are doing that, your work is sufficient.

    Others may come to that conclusion soon or late or not at all.

    It makes no difference to the effort you know you are putting out.

    Your best is enough.

    Your careful attention and awareness of so many aspects of your household is enough.

    As you address them from a basis of inner peace, they have the best effect possible.

    I understand what it is to begin to practice finding inner peace.

    It does not show up all at once.

    As it does, it transforms you and it transforms your household.

    Even if everyone grows up before you are finished transforming yourself, it is okay.

    You have made an important start and it will continue growing throughout your entire lifetime.

    Your practice connects you to the Universe of Good Ideas.

    These continue to permeate those around you.

    Wherever your extended household takes you, your inner peace is having an effect.

    Because it comes from the Infinite, there are no limits either moving forward or healing the past.

    Your work is always effective and will continue to be so.

  • Connecting to the best ideas

    Your Diamond Mind –

     Connecting to the Best Ideas

    My best ideas come when I am in a relaxed state.

    I may have seen a color, a plant, or a book title.

    This leads me to an idea.

    As I listen within, I can feel the idea take shape.

    Just the act of listening impels me forward.

    I let my hands rest on the keyboard and see which ideas flow.

    By the time I am writing, I feel my connection to the Universe Which Always Has Good Ideas.

    I just borrow them.

    I let the Universe of Good Ideas play through my mind and my fingers as I type.

    This is how I began to discover the solution to my problems.

    I was stuck and depressed and anxious with no way out.

    As I began writing, originally in a spiral notebook, answers to the questions I had, appeared on the page.

    I was grateful to see this happen, because I was desperate to fix my life.

    The ideas began flowing years ago and they have not stopped.

    The main idea which appeared as I wrote was to GIVE MORE.

    I found myself writing that in double high capital letters in my notebook.

    At the time, I had just left a job and had no idea how I could give anything at all.

    The Universe began supplying ideas for me to share and it has never stopped.

    These ideas are uplifting to me and they are uplifting to others.

    By being ready to write, I let the Universe know that I am open to the ideas It has for me.

    The Universe’s ideas comfort me, guide me, and inform me.

    I have a wonderful identity.

    I am not the person the lies described from my childhood.

    I have learned how to replace lies with uplifting practices which have given me a new life.

    I am so happy to continue to receive these ideas and to share them.
