Are you believing that you are brilliant?

Are you believing that you are beautiful?

Are you believing that you are precious?

And even – MAGNIFICENT?

I mean really – really in your heart of hearts believe it?

Not just on the surface, not just because you read someplace that you’re suppose to?

But, really believe it with your whole being?

Remind yourself today and every day that you are

Special

Precious

How can you not be all that, and even more than you can know?

You are a bright shining star within a loving universe.

You’re made of love and exist inside love –

You are all love

Every breath you take is love

Every thing you set your eyes on…

Is love

Every touch is love

Every word is love

Every dark is love

Every light is love

Believe in your heart of hearts that you are – m a g n i f i c e n t l o v e!!!

Come and share what you believe yourself to be?  I’d love to hear from you.

Blessings

April Energy – Grace

“You can have the other words – chance, luck, coincidence, serendipity. I’ll take grace. I don’t know what it is exactly, but I’ll take it.” ~ Mary Oliver

While I was trying to think about the energy of April the word grace popped into my head and honestly I questioned it.  Grace?  I don’t want grace.  What can I do with grace?  I don’t even really know what it means?  What am I supposed to write about grace?

As I started to accept grace (because it wouldn’t go away) and I allowed it to just be, just holding the word in my heart and in my mind, gave me a feeling of calm, of rest, of stepping aside and allowing a force greater than me to take care of me and somehow I knew that in grace all is well.Orchid purple.jpegI don’t fully know what it means, but maybe grace is asking, let go of all the worries and stress and rest in grace, in the calm and in the knowing that you’re being taken care of. That every thing is unfolding in divine timing.  That being stressed does not solve anything.  That holding on to things doesn’t allow growth and movement – that opening up and allowing grace, amazing things will show up. So even though I don’t fully know what grace means right now, nor why it popped into my head and took such a strong hold of me, I do know that as I let go, allow and accept, as I believe more and trust more – grace – will unfold and reveal herself.  Grace.pngI know that there is a power greater than us and trusting that it is always holding, loving and guiding us is maybe a way of being aligned with grace.Blue flower.jpegAs the month of April unfolds so will grace she will unfold and show the power of her miracles, magic and gifts.Orchid purple2.jpegOrchid blue.jpegSo I’ve come to realize so far, that the energy of Grace is here to remind us that we are never alone, that the gifts of the universe are always in front of us, always gracing us, always unfolding for us.  Revealing the indescribable deliciousness of knowing a deeper truth, all we need to do is accept them, believe, trust, and know that we are loved beyond measure and – allow…  Grace!

What are your thoughts about grace?  Come, leave your comment, I’d love to chat.

All About Listening + Spring

“Can words describe the fragrance of the very breath of spring?” ~ Neltje Blanchan

I wanted to write about trusting your inner knowing.  I tried all week to write it but I just couldn’t find the right words.  I even tried to decide on the pictures to accompany the words, and that was a struggle too.  I couldn’t get the right picture, the right color, it wasn’t coming naturally and smoothly.  In the end I just couldn’t get it and before I knew it, here I am Sunday afternoon and I’m still trying to force write what isn’t coming.

Isn’t it ironic that while I was trying to write about trusting my inner wisdom, I was actually doing the very opposite.  So instead I let go of forcing and I decided to actually – trust and listen – (LOL) to my inner knowing, and go with what was my original instinct that I had for this week and post some of the gorgeous photos I took while out and about.

Ahhhhhhhh the colors, the smell, the new freshness of Spring!  What beauty it holds.     What precious gifts!…

Is this the most luscious pink, or what?

Trusting in my inner wisdom is not always easy.  Sometimes I’m blinded by that other part of me that lives in the rational realm that always wants to let me know that it knows better and says no, that’s not good enough, or clever enough, and I fall pray to it’s clutches.    I’m working hard at listening to that part of me that knows all, and always has my best interest at heart that is for my highest good and that of all.

So, welcome Spring –

I hope you found as much joy, loveliness and some peaceful moments while reading, and allowed these photos with their brilliant colors to touch your senses, as I did while writing this post.

As always, you’re invited to share your thoughts, comments, pictures.  Let’s chat.

Wishing you Spring Blessings.

Happy March Full of Possibilities!!!

“There’s joy in the mountains; There’s life in the fountains; Small clouds are sailing, Blue sky prevailing;”        ~ “Written in March” by William Wordsworth

Life is a journey of seasons and March is the season that brings forth possibilities, hope and a renewed sense of wonder and magic.Single flower.jpeg

This morning I pulled up the shade on my window and the first thing I saw were my neighbors trees with blossoming flowers and it hit me – oh wow, Spring is here.

March is the month that opens the doorway to new possibilities.  It’s the month that awakens Mother Earth, can you feel her stirring under your feet with delight?

For me March feels like I’m waking from a long slumber. I can feel a new energy in the air.  It’s time to clean house, to re-examine what I’ve planted into the soul of the universe.  What needs to be weeded out, re-thought, it’s the time to clear away and make room for something better and new.

I feel the possibilities that lie ahead, the movement of change and newness stirring.

Gift yourself the freedom to choose the perfect seeds for your growth.  Pull out the weeds, kick away any stones, break down the walls that are blocking the sun from shining on your soul’s dreams.

Set new intentions that align more with your energies to bring your dreams to life.

Now is the time for moving forward in faith.  Focus in.  Move with courage and trust that your seeds are being nourished for the highest good.  Bless them and allow the Universe to grow them.

Feel free to share your intentions, thoughts, your comments in the space below, love to chat.

Affirmation for Everyday

I am always divinely guided!

I said this affirmation yesterday morning and carried it with me like a mantra repeating it throughout the day.  I had it in my mind, in my heart and on my tongue.  I repeated it when I was stuck in heavy traffic which was making me late for an appointment.  I repeated it when I was at work and there was a situation I had to address.

Repeating this affirmation reminded me that I am always deeply loved and supported, I am not alone, the universal forces are holding me up and carrying me to exactly where I need to be and supporting me in every moment.

file-jan-18-9-35-59-pm

At the end of the day when I thought about it I could see how this affirmation really opened me up to the guidance that the universe was giving me and how I followed.

By holding this affirmation in my mind and heart I was saying – YES – I am open and willing to follow.

Try it out for yourself, carry these words with you and throughout the day affirm it to yourself and see how your day will unfold.-

I Am Always Divinely Guided!

Blessings
