Listen to the joy in your heart and look at how much peace you have brought into the world before you. – Francesca (5 years old!)
How much joy are we producing? In what fashion are we enabling peace around us? What can kids teach us?
Today I AM childlike. I see what’s possible through kindness. I seek and find joy. I spread joy. I AM peaceful inside and out.

To him who is in fear, everything rustles. – Sophocles
How many fears are we harboring? How many of these fears are actually conscious ones? How many lie deeper still? What do these fears cost us, our life and family? How would our life be if we were calm, peaceful, at-ease and fearless!? When do we plan to answer and act on some of these crucial questions?
I AM at peace. I AM a child of God. I AM protected and safe. Life is good. All ends well. I breathe deeply and appreciate each moment and all surroundings. Love is my very nature.

It’s not your work to make anything happen. It’s your work to dream it and let it happen. – Abraham
Universal energy is in motion. God is experiencing himself through his creation including us. We are creative beings that make stuff happen in time and in space. The way to make stuff happen is to dream it up first and then allow creative energy to work through us and others to manifest the vision. We dream and then allow the energy to flow…
Today I AM a dreamer. I dream and then I let go. I allow God’s energy and love to flow through me. Everything works out for me. The right people walk into my life and the appropriate circumstances fall into place for me. Life really is good!!

You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover will be yourself. – Alan Alda
Many of us don’t realize how much input comes in daily from our intuitive faculties. It’s actually a barrage, but for the most part we aren’t tuned to it. Also how to figure out what comes in via intuition vs. our own thinking? A great way to develop this muscle is to act on what we think is spiritual help coming from divine sources. One major clue as to the source is whether the action we’ll perform due to this info is pursuant to Truth, Beauty and Goodness. And whether it leads to greater love…
Today I AM blessed by my divine parents. They shower love at me constantly along with guidance on the next best step. I AM cherished and am increasingly able to God’s will on earth. Life is interesting and very fulfilling.

Your first relationship must be with yourself. – Neale Donald Walsch
We must be peaceful first, we must be comfortable in our own skin first, we must know self first, before we can be truly happy.
1) Peace comes when the constant chatter in our mind begins to slow down and when we understand that we’re ultimately safe in God. Practice meditation.
2) Self-respect arrives when we accept ourselves just as we are, even though there’s lot’s to improve. It arrives when we’re not too concerned about what others think of us. Practice affirmations, recognize your own beauty.
3) Self-knowledge arises when we observe our habits, our tendencies, our assumptions and what drives us. Practice awareness.
When we have peace, self-respect and self-knowledge we know that true happiness can be sustained through a selfless approach towards others, an approach that leads to service.
Today I AM focused on me. I find peace. I like myself. And I AM aware of my tendencies and proclivities. I know I must be happy first. I flow with God’s love today.
