Guidance and Light



Elisabeth Kubler-Ross wrote, "People are like stained-glass windows.  They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within"

Be guided by divine light, in good times and in difficult times.  This light will shine upon your personal path, lifting you in confidence and building on your inner strength.  Allow this to move you forward without fear, anxiety, sadness or concern.

As you become more in tune with this divine light, allow yourself to be more conscious of God's direction for you, leading you to wise decisions and choices.  Be confident that all will be revealed at the right time and in the right way.  

(Paraphrased from the Daily Word 8/20/16)

Wishing you sunshine and strength throughout your days!

Sharing Hope and Joy with you today.....

"The Blue sky opens up
further and further,

The daily sense of failure
goes away,

The damage I have done to
myself fades,

A million Suns burst forward 
with light,
when I am seated firmly in that world." 

Kabir poem

I AM joy! I AM life! I AM love!

The Power of I am.....

"I am" holds such power in our lives!!!

But we often use it to tell ourselves (and others unfortunately) all the negative things we feel about who we are.  When we look in the mirror, stand in front of others, compete, work hard at our jobs and in school, etc we often continue to point out the "flaws" about ourselves.

Yet today, is a new day to make a different choice in our lives.  Today is a day for us to start to use "I am" to recognize the wisdom, compassion, beauty, love, hope and peace of who we are and never let that go!!

With each step in our journeys, we are told how we should feel, what we should do, what steps to take next, and where "everyone else" is at the point we stand at during this time in our lives.

Now it is time to remind ourselves of how absolutely wonderful we are no matter what challenges may be happening in our lives.  And each time you state a positive note about yourself, your unconscious will work with you and your body to take that in to work in your favor.

So, grab a pencil, some notecards and write 5 "I am" statements on several cards.  Put them on your mirror, the inside of your front door, the dashboard of your car, etc and read them out loud every day.

These are hugs to yourself and you surely deserve them!!

My "I am" statements are:

I am loved.

I am courageous.

I am grateful.

I am radiant.

I am blessed by God.

Believe in the power of words, believe in you!  

Wishing you continued joy in all your days...
