• Becoming Aware of My Gifts

    Loved Cherished Adored –

    Becoming Aware of My Gifts

    I become aware of my gifts through listening within.

    The ideas which show up consistently are a guide.

    These indicate my gifts.

    They show me my purpose.

    I am ready to express my gifts through the challenges which I have overcome.

    I have established practices for listening for solutions.

    I am grateful to receive my gifts.

    I know how to employ them for the most benefit to those who are ready to receive them.

    They, too, have been being prepared by the challenges they face.

    They are ready to receive solutions by learning to listen within.

    As they perceive their own messages, they are empowered to take the steps to implement them.

    We gain the gift of authentic trust.

    We know when to act and how.

    We become aware of what is aiding us to accomplish our goals.

    We know that it comes from knowledge beyond our experiences.

    We learn to move in unity and community with the ideals which uplift us.

    We receive the gifts of well-being for all.

    We all participate with our skills and willing attitudes.

    We are solving the problem of fear and circumventing its results by our response to peace.

    We take action through our tiny steps to accomplish our goals together.

    We receive the gift of peace over and over again.

    Our community becomes known for its peace.

    We are able to live consistently uplifting lives which include well-being for all.

    This is the gift that distinguishes our community.

  • The Benefit of Our Experience

    Pebbles of Peace Pathways 3.12 –

    The Benefit of Our Experience

    Some of the benefits of our experience are that we will not do it that way again!

    When we give our children the benefits of our experience, we want to share the best with them.

    However, sometimes the benefits we share are the ones we are not so aware of.

    Watching their parents struggle with the daily grind inspires some of their children to do better.

    Watching their parents live a good lifestyle makes some children feel entitled.

    It is impossible to predict what will stand someone else in good stead.

    Knowing that we have given the gifts we have, really and truly is enough.

    Naturally, we will continue growing if we demand it of ourselves.

    So we can continue to change our whole outlook if we desire it and do the work.

    Who we will connect with is not known at the time, but it will be those who are willing to see us and themselves in a new light.

    Mainly, we are the ones who benefit from our experiences.

    And we can choose the way that will go.

  • The ultimate gift to the world

    Shared Global Vision –

    The ultimate gift to the world

    Our ultimate gift to the world is our trust that all the love and care and experiences we are infusing will create a balance of well-being for all.

    The world is a creation of our collective acceptance of its conditions.

    We can change those conditions as we build up the momentum of conviction through the focused steps we take together.

    We begin through getting to know our neighbors.

    It becomes important that we act together to create uplifting conditions and surroundings for everyone in our neighborhood.

    We choose to do this through our compassion and our willingness to get to know each other.

    We let this feeling spread throughout our community, making sure we include everyone in a demonstration and manifestation of well-being.

    We choose to see and communicate with our surrounding communities.

    We take action together to include everyone in well-being.

    This is so encouraging, others join us and contribute their skills and experience.

    We share our knowledge and encourage others to learn the skills we can teach.

    We interact together across a range of ages and skills.

    We welcome everyone who is willing to learn.

    We create a feeling of upliftment as we pay attention to the people we meet and talk to.

    We build a wave of trust one by one as we get to know one another.

    We focus on ways to create community.

    We choose a gathering place and a project.

    We acknowledge what can be done as we plan and take our first steps together.

    We plan for well-being for all.

    This is a new feeling, as we release fears of limitations and create a wealth of action.

    We “see” each other in a new light.

    We are full of expectation and hope as we complete our first project together.

    A new energy creates a new foundation.  We are all part of it.

  • The ultimate gift at home

    Young Persons Mentor/Uplifting Parenting –

    The ultimate gift at home

    The ultimate gift at home is harmony within the household.

    I am so grateful on the many occasions when this occurs.

    So far, it is in bits and pieces as we become used to our new routines.

    We scramble around to fit our many activities in, so there is usually a rush.

    Gradually, though, the calm of an orderly household is becoming evident.

    We live in a clean house which we all maintain.

    We spend time together in conversation, in reading aloud and enjoy family game night.

    We are aware of each other and how we can be supportive.

    Every day brings in more opportunities to reestablish harmony.

    Our routines form the base.

    On top of that base, we can correct misapprehensions, offer comfort and correction for misunderstandings, and especially create a feeling of safety and recognition.

    We spend the necessary time to do this.

    What comes into the home is filtered thorugh our appreciation of one another.

    We choose to spend time together.

    Even though the pressures of work and school and community organizations is considerable, we choose to spend time together doing things we particularly enjoy.

    This is the ultimate gift.

    We build a foundation which is secure through practice.

    We arrange our affairs so that we are rested and focused.

    We know there will be challenges to our time.

    We choose our priorities.

    We create the community to support us.

    We are able to resist being drawn and pressured in all directions.

    Our home is our haven.

    We value this feeling. We create the gift.

  • Receiving the ultimate gift

    Your Diamond Mind –

    Receiving the ultimate gift

    I am always grateful to listen within for the ultimate gift coming to me from the Universe.

    Every idea which I receive uplifts me and those in my frequency.

    The gifts I share create a powerful wave of love and dignity and well-being for all.

    There are no limits in the Universe.

    We can all learn to drop our fears of limitations.

    We can launch our hope and see it fulfilled as we all become convinced of the uplifting direction to go, for well-being for all.

    Every direction which values harmony among citizens and nations supports well-being for all.

    This is an energy which gathers force as it gathers in everyone who has this hope.

    The hope turns to conviction as we see the results of our grassroots movements in communities and neighborhoods.

    When we refuse to see anyone without, and desire to see everyone with what they need, we turn our ideals into action steps.

    We support the love that everyone has for themselves and their families.

    We reject the feeling of desperation that limitations have placed on families and communities.

    Neighbor to neighbor we expand the reality of our conversation and contact and action.

    We evolve into comprehensive communicators.

    We “see” our neighbors. We “see” our communities.

    We connect through their visibility to us.

    Innovative solutions appear as we jointly create them.

    Resources are shared in new ways.

    Imaginative steps open up.

    Skills and expertise are applied.

    Everyone is uplifted and included.

    We have a wider experience of well-being for all.

    There is greater peace around us throughout all our communities.

  • My ultimate gift of peace

    Pebbles of Peace –

    My ultimate gift of peace

    My ultimate gift of peace is my ability to bring myself back into a peaceful state over and over again.

    As I face disturbing news, I have a choice.

    I can get upset, or I can look for my deeper peace within.

    When I listen within, I am able to access solutions.

    That is my better choice.

    When I feel the message of peace  begin to permeate my entire  mind, body, soul, I  know that I have found the way to gift myself with deep harmony.

    Deep harmony characterizes my work and my life.

    I become convinced of the power of life-practice along the lines of well-being for all.

    I refuse to accept the idea of limitations, because there are always solutions.

    Solutions are right here, right in front of us, utilizing the reousrces which we already have.

    Our deep peace connects us to them.

    Our deep peace goes out with the conviction of right action for implementation.

    This conviction is an energy-gathering force.

    We are in a position to receive the most effective steps to activate solutions.

    We are inspired by the energy of this conviction.

    Well-being for all is achievable through universal desire.

    Everyone is open to the solutions which are now appearing through our conviction.

    Old habits of fear and limitation drop away.

    Conviction of well-being for all lends power to our daily steps in that direction.

    We are gifted with our conviction and the appearing of steps along so many lines.

    We participate with our uplifted attitude.

    We support steps being taken to restore dignity and respect for everyone.

    We gain momentum as we see the lives which are being given firm ground.

    This is the right direction to go.

  • What is our ultimate gift to ourself?

    Loved Cherished Adored –

    What is our ultimate gift to ourself?

    Our ultimate gift to ourself is patience.

    We will get there. Pressuring ourselves does not work.

    There is work that is being done and we are being impelled forward by it.

    Our desire to solve our problems and overcome our challenges brings in the energy to do it.

    The first steps are the most difficult.

    Convincing ourselves to do it despite our long history of discomfort requires tremendous energy.

    Even though it looks like a tiny thing, it is powerful desire which has set it in motion.

    The next steps are hard, too, but the opening has been created.

    How we proceed is up to us.

    It is up to us not to return to the level of discomfort even if it  is only a tiny bit different.

    Continuing patiently and determinedly with our tiny steps continues to create the new path which will lead us out of our present circumstances.

    New steps appear in new directions as we release our fears bit by bit.

    Our goal is to live well, to create a feeling of well-being for our day-to-day life.

    We can do it.

    We can take the deep breath which allows us to listen within.

    Our new circumstances come from the breath of calm we connect with over and over again.

    Our level of discomfort is our motivating factor.

    We can continue to create a moment of calm and trust for ourselves with our deep breath.

    Each deep breath strengthens our connection and our conviction.

    We stop looking at our circumstances, which are already well-established in our thought.

    We focus on the feeling of the deep breath.

    Graudally, we create the new circumstances as we listen to Guidance and take our steps.

    Breath. Listen. Act.

    This creates a new habit and a new life.

  • Fear Diet

    Pebbles of Peace Pathways 3.11 –

    Fear Diet

    I am discovering how to maintain my sense of peace.

    There is a strong contrast between things that contribute to my feeling of well-being and things which do not.

    I am not talking about a superficial sense that things are all right.

    I am not talking about being able to keep my peace within regardless of what comes at me.

    I am considering ways of maintaining my peace and contributing to a feeling of protection all around me wherever I am.

    I want that feeling to be available for others around me, too.

    So as I notice what pulls me away from my peace within, I am making decisions about whether to include those things in my life or not.

    So many little things are ingrained that I did not notice many of them at first.

    But now, they are starting to stand out in contrast to the things which are peace-giving.

    I am considering how to break my little habits which include disturbing things in my life so that I can make more room for peace and let it overflow.

    I will go on a fear diet.

    This will give me more room in my thoughts to attend to what is important to me.

  • Unconditional sharing

    Shared Global Vision –

    Unconditional Sharing

    As we experience the greater order and harmony in our lives and household through inner listening, we are able to contribute from our harmonious base.

    Everything which we do expands harmony in the world around us.

    This is the way we acknowledge our place in the world.

    We are not defined through outward measurements.

    We lead expansive, fulfilling lives thorugh our gift of giving.

    We give our time, our attention, our uplifting and inspired attitude.

    We do not participate in the harassed and pressured lives we are goaded into accepting.

    We are not driven by the constant disturbances and imbalances that are the news cycle.

    We find our inner peace and we live there.

    This is what expands around us.

    We share our unconditional acceptance that we are able to uplift through non-judgement.

    We share our ability to do kind deeds for those in our immediate vicinity.

    We share our ability to participate in uplifting neighborhood and community activities.

    We contribute our ability to organize, to support, to encourage, to appreciate, to respect.

    All these contributions change the character of our surroundings into one of acceptance and cooperation and abundance.

    We expand our practice to the next neighbor, the next community.

    We become part of a grassroots movement to lift up and improve our outlook through compassionate contriubtion to each other’s lives.

    We begin to see the roots of well-being for all.

    As we draw together to create well-being for all in our community, we catch the thread of how to expand that attitude through practical steps.

    We become more aware of opportunities for cooperation.

    We establish avenues for communication.

    We build trust as we take on mutually beneficial projects.

    We create a new standard of accomplishment.

    We are accepted in a new, continuing role.
