Why Bless the Day Ahead of You

For a very long time now, blessing my day ahead of me has been a part of my daily routine and I can tell you from my own experience that it really works. Ordinary days become extraordinary days.

When you’re blessing the day ahead of you, and giving thanks in advance, you’re inviting in and collaborating with the Universal forces to bring about the best highest energy for you and for all.  You’re being deliberate in your request and you’re setting yourself up for a divinely filled and guided day.

This is what I do.

Every morning I call on all my angels, spirit guides, my animal spirit guides, my ancestors, all the celestial beings who are of the highest light and energy who are with me, and I ask for their protection and help in blessing my day ahead of me. And I thank them in advance for my day working out perfectly.

I bless myself and every one that I will come in contact with.  Everyone that will have a thought about me that day.   Everyone that I will pass on my way, whether I know them or not. If I’m going to work I bless everyone.  Every meeting I will be having, and everyone who will be at the meeting and I give thanks in advance for how perfect every meeting has turned out. I envision everyone happy with a smile on their face and love in their heart. While I’m asking I’m also giving out love from my heart for the day ahead of me. I say – I love everyone and everyone loves me. And it always turns out that way. Somehow during the meeting at work the perfect words come to me and I can always feel the loving positive energy in the room.

I bless my house my car the road I’ll be traveling on and all the cars and the people around me that are on the same road. All the trees the rocks the animals the sun…I feel myself inside a loving light and I extend that light out into the day ahead of me.

OK let me stop here and confess, I’m not perfect and I don’t remember to bless my day every day, but I feel that’s ok too because when I don’t remember it’s when I see the difference in the energy of the day which then reminds me of the magnificence that happens when I do.

It only takes a few minutes but it will make a huge difference in how your day unfolds. This intentional blessing is very powerful and when your intention is pure and from your heart, you ignite an energy that will serve you and everyone in miraculous ways.

Do you bless your day ahead of you?  Is it a practice you would like to start?  Love to know, leave your comment below and lets chat.

Bright July a Month to Love Yourself

I open the space of July to allow the miracles to pour into me.

I allow for magick to be born and for Divine Love to reveal Herself.

I open to the brightness of July, I cleanse myself of old negative energies and I open to new bright energies that serve me in a greater way.

I let myself trust and believe in the mystery of life.

I let myself move into the loving grace that awaits me, and I let myself love me.

I deserve this love.

I am one with this love.

July

July is a month of ME.

Make yourself a priority.

Pencil yourself in to your calendar and schedule yourself for a daily dose of me time.

What do you need right now?

Meditate.  Listen to music.  Laugh. Buy yourself a present just because.

Listen to your body.

Elevate your thoughts about yourself.

Do one nice thing for YOU daily.  (This doesn’t mean you don’t love the world, or your family.)  Sit by yourself and have a cup of tea.  Put your feet up.  Take a nap.  Go for a walk.  Listen to your inner voice.

Appreciate and honor your body. When you shower do it with loving thoughts for every part you wash.

Trust is Your Spiritual Magick

Open yourself to trust and you open the doors to your spiritual magick.

Trust and the miracles will show up

Trust and the magick will appear

Trust in the Universal Force we call God, Allah, Buddah, Divine Mother…

Trust that you are being held in love

Protected and guided, all the time

Trust in your inner compass

Trust in your self-expression

Trust in infinite possibilities

Trust in your higher self, in your truest authentic self.  It will never steer you in the wrong direction

Trust that when you ask for something, that it is already so – trust that all you have to do is get out of the way and allow it to yourself

Trust that when you open up to receive – open your arms wide and you will

Trust

White & red flower.jpeg

From a very young age I was brought up to believe not to trust anyone, not the friend, the neighbor, the stranger in the street.  Not anything anyone wants to give me, no one, and most definitely NOT GOD. Life is hard, cold, unforgiving.  By the time I was four I was filled with the horrors of the Holocaust, words that poured out of my mother’s mouth, tears that ran down her face, emotions and feelings that poured out of her and found their home inside of me.  Warnings that were hammered into me by my father.  And of course they knew, they lived the horrors they stood witness to the killings, they lost their entire families, everyone they loved and everything they knew and by some unknown miracle they survived.  I didn’t know what to do with all of this, so I kept it locked inside and I lived by that code of – don’t trust.

Learn to get out of your way and let Universal Force open the way for you. Trust and follow your path, trust that everything will unfold in divine timing just the way it’s meant to, for your highest good and that of all.

Trust in the invisible knowing that all is well for you even in times of hardship and famish.  Trust in that this Universal Force will catch you when you fall, hold you, protect you and is loving you even when you refuse to acknowledge It.  Trust that this Universal Force is with you, has always been with you, is a part of you and will never be without you.

Trust that no matter what, no matter how much you push It away, if you take one step towards It – It will take a hundred steps towards you.

I’ve done a lot of work to get to this place of trust, and still I have to admit that my heart is not always open to trust in that unknown invisible energy that is the All Loving.  I’m not always trusting in my inner voice.  I still hold back, I still can’t let completely go at times, I still question myself and Divine Mother.

And I have to remind myself to –

Trust in the gift that is my life – Trust that I am one with Divine Being.  Trust that my heart knows what I yet don’t.  That when I follow and trust, the magick happens and the miracles flow.  Trust.

Do you trust? How do you trust?  Feel free to leave a comment and share this post.

Lets Get Real…

“The beauty that is within you cannot be contained…it will be reflected without; let it shine forth.” ~ Eileen Caddy

One of the hardest things for me has been to open up about myself and write about me. Oh I can talk very easily and tell someone about myself, no problem.  And at times even disclose secret things, but when it comes to writing them something happens to me, I freeze, I block, I can’t seem to get the words from inside to flow out to the page in the same way that I can get the words to flow out from my mouth.

I don’t know why that is, well I do. Mostly it’s because before I even start writing I’m judging, deleting, editing, criticizing every word before I even let it come into my consciousness if that’s possible.

Purple 2.jpegAnother reason stems from my childhood. My parents were both holocaust survivors, and from a very young age my father would warn me every single day not to tell anyone anything about me or my family. If anyone asks he would warn me, tell them “you don’t know” – These words made me hide myself away afraid to let anyone see the real me, “I don’t know” became my mantra for my life. My father passed away when I was thirteen years old, but his stern warning has stayed with me my entire life.

And then there is of course Miss Perfectionist at work here.  I worry over what people will think, how they will perceive me and that stops my words from flowing.  Instead, my writing becomes stiff, doesn’t sound like me and is laced with high fluting words that I probably would not use in normal every day conversation and this all because I want to look and sound intelligent and interesting and brilliant and clever… on paper.

Knowing all this has not made a difference, I’m still stumped and freeze and can’t write about me, my story, from my heart.

Pink summer flowers.jpegSo I decided to commit to myself and practice writing about ME every day.  Practice opening up, taking myself out of the way and allowing my divine inner self out.

I keep on thinking about what Anne Lamott says in her book Bird by Bird about the need to let go and write those “shitty first drafts” how we need to have those (and I’ll probably have lots of those) to gain clarity into our second and third drafts.  And for me a way to remove those blocks and get to the space of brilliance within.

So this is a start towards a more deeper conversation here, and a deeper more real blog. It may not happen every week, but I hope you’ll join in on the conversation and let me know how it makes you feel.

I’m getting real!

Blessings

Take In Beauty Everyday

There’s beauty and magic all around us in the everyday ordinary things, but often we fall into our daily business and we don’t notice the simple things right in front of us that hold magic locked inside them.

Red flowers gate.jpeg

You are a magical being and you have natural creative abilities that you can access to create a sweeter life everyday.  For me just a simple thing as stopping for a moment and taking a photograph with my cell phone of a tree that catches my eye, a flower that’s on display at the supermarket , noticing the pavement I’m stepping on, or a sign that captures my attention – just the act of stopping and snapping a photo, elevates my energy, makes me feel happy and changes my whole day.

Wheel.jpeg

Unlock the beauty that surrounds you and give yourself a treat, a gift each day of creativity and inspiration.  You don’t have to be a professional photographer, or a creative anything to find a moment to stop and rest in beauty. It will elevate your mood and elevate your energy.  When I’m in that moment I’m totally alone inside myself, as if nothing else exists.

You will create more balance and harmony in your life when you stop and pay attention to the nature around you.  Make a conscious decision to become aware of your surroundings and find at least one thing each day that calls to you, and you will be amazed at the wonders you’ll discover.

Start your day with this intention, look around you see what jumps out at you, there’s beauty everywhere.  Tune into your intuition and allow it to guide you, you will get that feeling that says YES LOOK STOP.  Embrace that moment of wonder that the universe is pouring out to you.  Whatever it is that you notice, take a moment and thank it for being available for you.  Snap a photo if you want to.  Write a few words, or hold it in your imagination.

And you know what they say, practice makes perfect.  With every day that you will honor your creative energy, and be tuned into your intuition, you will notice that you’re automatically tuning into the nature and the wonder of this mystery.  This photo of tulips on sale at the supermarket was my bliss today, it put a smile on my face for the rest of the day, how gorgeous is this?

So bring some enchantment into your everyday,  get creative, get inspired, every day find a moment of beauty to rest into, let it capture your imagination and warm your heart.

I invite you to come and join in and share your everyday sweet beauty here in the comments below.  And feel free to share this blog post.

Beauty Blessings

Making Real What You Really Really Want

When you have figured out what it is that you really really want…

Pink tulip.jpeg

Than invite commitment into your life and go after your ‘want’ with intention and determination.   Don’t just leave it lay for later or for tomorrow or for when after you read another book, take another class.  For when you will deserve it or lose 50 pounds.  Honor your ‘want’ now.  The more you commit and make the time for what you want, keep it in the front of your mind, see it inside of you, f e e l  it.  The more you think about it, write about it, dream it – the more the universe will put magical things along your way for your ‘want’ to become a reality.

When you really really know what it is that you want and you take action towards it, even small steps (and every step counts), when what you want is for your highest good and that of everyone else, than the entire universe will conspire to bring your ‘want’ into reality.

Red tulip.jpeg

You’ll see words or hear a conversation, or a song that will hold just the right message  that you needed to know right now.  Synchronicities will be abound.  Doors will open in places where you never knew they existed, the universe will arrange that.  The more you bring what you want into view into your mind into your sphere, the more solid your ‘want’ will become the more chance it has of manifesting.  You’re talking it, writing it, thinking it into being a reality and you need to do this without fear and complete trust and faith and belief that it is already so.  Every time you have doubt you’re pushing it away from you and every time you have love and faith and a sense of yes for it you’re bringing it closer to you.

Lots of tulips.jpeg

So yes, find out what it is you really really want and bring it to life, bring it forward.

Give thanks in advance for already having it, envision yourself in it, owning it, being inside of it, deserving it.  Go after it with determination and a willingness and openness to receive your ‘want’ because the magic of it all is that it already exists in the ethereal.  It is already so.  It’s already a part of you – your ‘want’ is just waiting for you to meet up with it.

So what are you doing to meet your ‘want’ into reality?  Let us know, love to hear.  And feel free to share this blog.

Grateful Blessings
