    We build comfort for the world by practicing consistent steps.

    We find ways of meeting world needs by listening for ideas with deep compassion.

    Community gardens are started to utilize unused city lots, and to grow food and community.

    The overflow provides for local residents.

  • Comforting My Household

    Young Persons Mentor/Uplifting Parenting –

    Comforting My Household

    When I need to comfort a member of my household, I listen within.

    I stop trying to mentally revise and reconfigure the situation, and calm myself.

    There is always an answer.

    There are so many opinions that it is impossible to sift through them all.

    The answer comes from my communion with Source.

    In this way, I have been able to find lost children, algebra tutors, transportation, and better schooling situations.

    I have been guided to track down resources for unusual needs.

    I listen within for the courage to take decisive action.

    I am impelled forward, even if it is new territory, and it always is.

    There is sure footing when I am guided from within.

    My comfort is seeing my children in safe situations with good companionship.

    My comfort is seeing rapid healing take place.

    My comfort is today’s answer for today’s need.

    There will be new challenges.

    I am comforted by the foundation of past answers.

    I am comforted by the support of others who have been in the same situation.

    I am comforted by others who have not been in the same situation, but who assure me that I will find my answers.

    I am comforted by creating order in my home.

    I am comforted by seeing my children take on more responsibility as they grow up.

    My household benefits as each member receives comfort.

    The atmosphere calms.

    We can all take a sigh of relief.

    We gather our forces for the next challenge, and the next.

    I listen within to discern the next step of comfort.

  • Comforting Ideas

    Your Diamond Mind –

    Comforting Ideas

    The ideas which comfort me the most are the ones which come directly to me.

    When I listen within, ideas appear in just the right way.

    When I tune into the Universe, a conversation, a book, a color, a moment in Nature may bring me the idea which is most beneficial to me at the time.

    I have found solutions to academic problems, relationship problems, resources for my children, business connections, all through the ideas which come to me.

    Inner listening is the most valuable and comforting thing I can do.

    It is my default position, at least once I realize that all my efforts are not getting me to my answer.

    I become a willing listener the more I see the results.

    Consistently, I am taken in a more certain and comprehensive direction when I listen within.

    This is greatly comforting to me.

    I trust my ability to receive comforting ideas to answer my needs and the needs of those who are depending on me.

    Often, the resources appear from a surprising direction and in unexpected ways.

    I am listening to the Universe, which has a much greater view than I do.

    As I am able to bring an idea to fruition and completeness, I am grateful to see the many twists and turns I had to take in order to learn how to listen.

    My listening skill is constantly being refined.

    The Universe compels this action.

    I am a treasured and beloved creation.

    The Universe provides me with the most comforting answers.

    They bring my possibilities into manifestation.

    I know that I always have this resource.

    I immerse myself in the promise of an answer.

    I drop my opinions and those of others.

    I create room and peace and calm in which to hear the answer.

    In this way, I consistently receive the most comforting idea.

  • Comforting Myself

    Pebbles of Peace –

    Comforting Myself

    I begin to comfort myself by listening within.

    That is where I find a moment of peace.

    I may have to wait for it to come, as I sit quietly.

    I am so desirous of finding peace, that I finally ignore all the noise.

    I keep listening.

    I feel a sense of quiet and peace begin to take over my mind and body.

    I am so relieved.

    I can breathe.

    I take a deep, calming breath.

    There is room for peace for me in that breath.

    In the moment of peace is a moment of clarity.

    I know what I need to do. I can take my first tiny step.

    This comforts me.

    Step-by-step, I can accomplish what I need to do and what I desire to do.

    Both are important.

    It is important for my voice to be heard.

    I am here to discover what I love to do and to share my gifts.

    By being heard, I am able to comfort others.

    But first, I start with myself.

    I am worthy of comfort.

    I am worthy of safety.

    I am worthy of dignity, and respect and consideration.

    I exist as mind, soul and body.

    Together, as one, we identify as myself.

    I am comforted by my completeness.

  • The Way to Comfort

     Take Three Deep Breaths –

    The Way to Comfort

    I am grateful to find comfort.

    Everyone I know is grateful to find comfort.

    Everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, is grateful to find comfort.

    I find comfort when I write.

    It begins with the necessity to calm down.

    Sometimes, I am so upset and so is my body.

    I sit still and listen for an idea.

    After a while, there is a feeling which starts to calm me down.

    Each idea I receive adds to my inner peace.

    Sometimes I have to take the first, tiny, uncomfortable step, for there to be room for the comfort to start to flow.

    That can be a struggle.

    I know now to just keep sitting and let the discomfort wash over me.

    When I am finally able to face my fear, I can take the first tiny step.

    That opens a door for me.

    I am grateful that I have learned to share what comforts me.

    We all face so much disturbing news.

    Inner listening is a source of inner peace, once we quiet all the noise.

    That is where the comfort begins.

    Everything we do from the feeling of inner peace dilutes the fear around us.

    We can add to the comfort of the world through our tiny steps of comfort.

    Our ability to listen within counteracts the pressure from without.

    We have right to think clearly and calmly.

    We can live in comfort through a life filled with calm and clarity.

  • Expressing my ideas

    Loved Cherished Adored –

    Expressing my Ideas

    I have to express my ideas in order to be comfortable.

    I move out of discomfort when I start to write.

    I was so uncomfortable with my life when I discovered writing.

    I started in a spiral notebook.

    I wrote all day.

    I poured out my discomfort and when I went back to type up my notes, I discovered that what I had written was the answers to healing my discomfort.

    Funny, how the Universe works that way.

    I now have several years of uplifting blog content.

    I wrote for nine years, then the flow stopped and was redirected into learning how to draw.

    Three years later, the flow started back up and I have three years of inspirational art and affirmations which I produced during that time.

    I am comforted by giving.

    I give of my heart’s rich overflow.

    What I learned through healing from my many dark years, is available to encourage others to invest in their own healing steps.

    My steps are the way I invested my time.

    How are you investing your time?

    You have many gifts to receive and to share.

    Your healing is what is giving you a foundation for expression.

    Never doubt that your voice is important.

    It is the expression of your insights and vitality.

    It is your contribution to what society needs so desperately.

    Accept the ideas which come to you.

    Write them in a journal. They are your power.

    Let them lead you into a greater feeling of comfort, first for yourself, then, for others.

  • Being So Full

    Pebbles of Peace Pathway 2.52 –

    Being So Full

    I am in love with who I am.

    I have never been so full of happiness.

    I have lots of problems which are not yet solved.

    But I can feel new power in me.

    I have never been around someone who loves herself as much as I love me.

    No one in my family ever exhibited this feeling.

    It is totally new to me.

    It is expansive and generous.

    It does not fear.

    I have come so far, I feel that there are solutions for the rest.

    I do not fear problems.

    I now know how to listen and to be filled with love as the ideas pour in.
