What a Kind Word Can Do

I don’t think this will be a surprise to anyone, but giving away a kind word is free. A positive kind word will definitely inspire an inner shift in how we feel. Just think of how you felt the last time someone gave you a compliment out of the blue, telling you – great job…you look beautiful…I bet that felt pretty good, It most likely lit you up and put a smile on your face. 🙂

A positive kind word can change someone’s day or even days. So, let’s dole it out, let’s give it freely from our heart, it’s free, especially now during the holiday season when we’re all so busy rushing about trying to get it all done, and maybe feeling a bit stressed with all that is on our to do lists. Receiving a kind word can uplift our spirit and create a sense of well-being. Just a simple – thank you – coming from the heart can touch someone in a special way and transform their day.

And you never know, your kind word may have a ripple effect, that person now may turn around and do the same, and change someone else’s day.

So let’s do it, my kind word for you lovelies is – You are AMAZING!!!

Kindest Blessings

The Secret of Affirmations

“Affirmations are the beginning point of change.” ~ Louise Hay

I wholeheartedly believe in positive affirmations being transformational.

2affirm I first learned about affirmations from Louise Hay, and to be honest at first I was afraid to say them. Saying positive, uplifting, encouraging, or healing words to myself felt like something taboo. I didn’t know it then but, by making that conscious decision to say them, even while I was filled with fear, taboo fear, I was beginning on a journey of healing and changing my life in ways that I couldn’t even imagine because I started to tap into the law of the universe in a positive way.

As I grow my affirmations change to support me where I am at. I change words, I let go of words, and not a day goes by without me affirming who I am, what I am, and how I am. To me an affirmation is a declaration that I affirm about myself. I’m telling the universe, this is the truth of who I am, and what I want, and how I see myself. And then I believe wholeheartedly in the magick of the affirmation I’m declaring. This is the big secret behind every affirmation, no affirmation will work if you say it, but don’t believe in it, if you say – money flows to me easily and magically – and inwardly you believe completely the opposite, this will never work, guaranteed it will not. And of course you have to take action here and do the work, you can’t just sit on your bed and say an affirmation and expect fire works to go off.

Affirmations have helped me to overcome challenging, self sabotaging, negative thoughts. Realize dreams. Change negative energy at work. Help me heal, eliminate stress…they have been transformational.

Magick and miracles have appeared in my life because of affirmations and they can make a difference in your life too.

I’d love to hear from you.

How & Why Choose a Word for the Year

A few years ago, I started this practice of having a word be my guide and companion for the year. I chose my first word “breakthrough” because I needed to break through all the walls that I had built around myself, (to protect myself) I now started to feel like I was locked up in a place where I hid myself to be safe from a cruel world. I needed to break out from all the beliefs that weren’t really my own, beliefs that I acquired since childhood from others, that I took and made them my own and was guarding them with my life. I became those beliefs until my life started to change big time, and I started to question them, they no longer fit my awakened consciousness. Those beliefs didn’t align with who I was becoming, but I couldn’t pry myself loose from them, they were at the core of who I was for over fifty years. Up to that point I never questioned them, I just believed them and lived by them. I needed to free myself in order to grow, to expand, to find out who – I am.

empowered

The following year I also chose my word, after that every year words just appeared and chose me. They’re always the perfect words for that year, and they always show up around October. These yearly words are my mantra, my guiding principle throughout the year. The word that showed up for me this year is “Empowered” and WOW! I’m already feeling the effects of the power this word holds within it. Things have already started to shift inside of me and I am already empowered with a new higher vibrational energy. My mind has opened to greater visions. People, courses and books that can support me on this new path have already shown up. I feel that I have opened a new door and am on a new higher more empowered way.

Why have a word and how to get one:

The idea for having a word to guide you is to have a central focus that you can lean on.

“Your Word of the Year sets an intention, a theme per se, for how you want your year to flow.” ~ Elizabeth Rider

Reflect on what you need most that will most support you throughout the year. Do you need to feel peace, joy? Do you want to feel more empowered or brave or silence, or community? Maybe you want the word “goal” to help you in reaching your goals. Or a word that will help you open more to your creativity, or tune more into your intuition. Do you want to expand, bloom, grow? Do you want more self-confidence, self-love? What values can you identify that will move you forward to where you want to be. What word represents that? What word has jumped out at you here while you’re reading?

There is no limit to words and there is no right or wrong here. You can have more than one word, mostly I get my main word and then two or three more words show up later. If you feel that the word you’ve chosen is not right for you, change it, you don’t have to keep it for an entire year. Instead of New Year resolutions a word can be your constant reminder for what you want to manifest. A reminder to stay on course towards creating a more positive, sweeter life.

How to recognize your word:

Once you set your intention for a word, whether you decide on a word or a word chooses you, you will know. It will grab a hold of you, and it will not go away. It’ll suddenly be everywhere, it’ll be in your thoughts, you’ll hear it in songs, you’ll see it on a billboard, the covers of magazines, you’ll hear it spoken; it’ll pop up in a book you’re reading. You will know it.

What to do with your word:

Once you get your word write it down, commit to it. Honor its presence and believe in its power.

You could draw a symbol that represents it. Make it your screen saver. Write it on sticky notes and place them in different places around your home, on your bathroom mirror so you see it first thing in the morning, on your fridge. You can also create a vision board with your word, decorate it. Write out why you chose that word. The possibilities are endless. You can do all of these or none, but the one thing that I strongly suggest you do is write it down and place it where you will see it every day, and say thank you to your word.

Celebrate your life, celebrate your word, celebrate your year ahead!!!

I’d love to know, do you have a word for the year?

3 Ways to Tune into Your Intuition

Have you ever had a feeling that seemed totally crazy and made no sense, only later to find out that you should have followed that feeling? This has happened to me many times, I get a gut feeling about something like take a sweater to the restaurant but my rational self kicks in and tells me that’s crazy it’s 100 degrees outside, only to regret later that I didn’t listen to my self and bring a sweater because it’s freezing inside the restaurant.

trust

I think most of us have had an awareness of our inner knowing, our intuition, a time when we had a feeling in our gut and we just knew something without knowing how we knew it, but we rationalized it and questioned it and later regretted that we didn’t follow it.

Your intuition is your inner compass, it’s your own magical north star, and it always wants to guide you for your highest good. Unfortunately we’re not taught to listen to our own self, we’re taught to seek advise and listen to outside influences.

If you want your life to flow more easily than it’s time to get tuned into your intuition.

Here are 3 ways to get started:

Tune into your body, when you get that feeling stop and pay attention to it. Mostly it’s a gut feeling, a knowing that you get. If the sun is shining but your gut is telling you to take an umbrella with you, take it.

Sonia Choquette who is a world renowned six sensory spiritual teacher, says that the best way to begin is to “get a small pocket notebook that you can carry with you at all times. Every time you get a hunch, gut feeling “AHA!” moment…jot it down in your notebook. Don’t let your ego censor, judge, discriminate or in any way edit the information or feelings you receive. Don’t worry if your vibes feel silly, irrelevant, irrational, or stupid; or if you think that what you feel is nothing more than your imagination. Write it all down anyway. Your mind will see that every vibe you have makes sense in one way or another over time.”

Trust – when you get that mystical feeling about something, trust it, even if it makes no sense in that moment. Follow your inner feeling. And by the way trusting yourself will build up your self-confidence.

Your intuition is not loud, it’s subtle, it nudges you quietly, it warns you when you’re in danger, it guides you to what is best for you. It’s a knowing that you get that cannot be explained, you just know things. While the gardner was here last week I had a gut feeling that the new guy helping him messed up the sprinklers, I knew this before I had solid proof.

It’s important to bear in mind that there are other energies working within you, for example there’s your rational mind and your ego so learn to distinguish between those and your intuition. The more you become aware of and follow the urgings of your intuition, the more connected you’ll be with your inner knowing, and following your inner knowing is showing up for yourself. The more you show up the greater your life becomes.
