Each second you can be reborn. Each second there can be a new beginning. It is choice. It is your choice.  – Clearwater

rut

In our daily routine we fall in a rut. The result is fear and confusion. We lose our selves in the maelstrom created by our own thoughts.

pause

If we pause we’ll know that truly each day, every moment for that matter, heralds a new creation. We must embrace this creation, continually, because it includes us. We would be born again if we didn’t hold on to thoughts about yesterday and tomorrow. Let’s arrive to the ever-present glory of the Now moment!

Where Peace Abounds…

Leave a comment

Hear blessings dropping their blossoms around you.  – Rumi (the untold story)

our mind

Where is our mind right now? Is it exhausting on the worries of daily life? Is it being scattered by the routine that runs us?

still

Beauty and love abound. It’s the very undercurrent of all that is. This magical world is cleverly hidden under the hubbub of the mind and this world. It emerges just as soon as the mind becomes more still. It’s us who fail to notice and enjoy the ever-present peace underneath it all…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM still…

How To Change What-Is…

Leave a comment

Offer a vibration that matches your desire rather than offering a vibration that keeps matching what-is.

  – Abraham

what is

Often we’re not happy with what is. Our relationships are in a mess, the health is off and things are just not right. How can we change the status-quo? The wise admonish us to be happy now, but how?

gratitude

There’s only one guaranteed way of getting there. And that is to acknowledge the biggest and the smallest things that are working for us, right now! Let’s express gratitude for everything from our eye-sight, the beautiful sunshine to the relationships that are working. Let’s be continuously thankful and experience our ‘vibration’ change, and that’s an end in itself…

Daily Affirmation: Today I AM joyous about what’s working!
