Journal entry October 14, 2016 Here is a wonderful motto that I borrowed from a friend – Stay blessed, not stressed! We have a choice every day as to our level of stress. It is not “out there” but rather inside of us. It is in how we allow ourselves to handle each moment. So, pick up the reins and make the decisions – or would you rather have them made for you? Who are you giving your power to? Today is a new day – choose wisely. I am enough. I am powerful. I am loved

Journal entry October 13, 2016 Isn’t it amazing that we all started the same way? We entered the world naked, vulnerable, having to decide to take that first breath on our own. Why then do we expect others to hold us up in our life? Why do we not see that the things we want to do are in our own hands? Do we blame others if we cannot take that first breath? Stop blaming others for what you cannot or will not do. It is too easy to say “they did this” or “they didn’t do thi

Journal entry October 10, 2016 Choices, decisions are mere thoughts until we follow them with words, with actions, with commitment. The thought “I will be heard” has to then be followed by a statement either written or spoken. Set the intention – I will be heard by the Universe, by my loved ones, by those I come into contact with. What do you want them to hear? What is your message? What do you choose to expose about yourself? How real are you willing to get with yourse

Journal entry October 9, 2016 Thank you for a life of purpose. Thank you for each breath I take because it reminds me what I am and why I am here. It is in giving gratitude before the miracle that my heart and eyes are opened. We are co-creators with Source! We determine how we see our world. In letting go of fear, there is only love. In releasing expectations, we free ourselves to receive all blessings. So, today I float like the beautiful butterfly I have become – un

Journal entry October 8, 2016 The darkness of night is gone and a new day has now dawned, rich in light and promises. It is so easy to see you, God, when there is so much light – to see the beauty of your creation, the energy of all I am surrounded by. Help me to remember that all of that is still there even in the darkness, even when not visible to my human eyes. It is the same way when going through this human experience. There will be dark times. I know that in those

Journal entry October 7, 2016 My gratitude today comes in the form of forgiveness. I am grateful that I can let go of things now that I used to hold onto for an extended amount of time. Forgiveness has nothing to do with the other person. I forgive because I want the inner peace that comes from letting go. Holding on to anger and hurt is so destructive. It helps to do the visualization that the other person involved is my mirror. What I see in them is only my own reflec

Journal entry October 5, 2016 Oh my soul, I have such an overwhelming sense of love, of hope and of peace today. I thank you for my safety and those around me. Hold us in your loving arms. I have faith in your protection. Just like these physical storms, my life has been tossed about and afterward there was a fresh start. I am claiming that now. Old things will be cleared away and the new will be amazing. Help me to remain calm when the wind howls and the rain pounds a

Journal entry October 4, 2016 Gratitude has an energy about it. Just saying the word feels good. When I say “thank you” to another, it changes me inside, makes me smile, keeps me humble. When I really take the time to say “thank you” to myself, that is when my spirit soars. We are spiritual beings, so this is essential to acknowledge gratitude to ourselves. We are part of the great oneness that created universes! How awesome is that? Gratitude leaves ego behind, focuse

Journal entry October 3, 2016 We weather many storms in our lifetimes and mine has surely been tossed about by many. I give thanks today for the calmness in my life, the peace that comes from inside and radiates outward. I am grateful that I can stand steady among the bashing of winds and waves of negativity. I hold my focus on a higher vibration. I give thanks for all my experiences, my trials and my joys. I love you! The vision of a lighthouse enters my mind when I thi

Journal entry October 2, 2016 Love, peace and joy – all of these things are in me, around me, coming out as light shining into the world. I am so grateful for another day, another chance to make a difference in this world during my lifetime here. It is through touching others that I am lifted up. It is through sharing my experiences and my hope that others can see that there is light. This life we are given is so very precious. Help me not to waste one precious second of
