A new year is unfolding–like a blossom with petals curled tightly concealing the beauty within. – Unknown It’s the middle of January already – how quickly this new year is unfolding! It has started out with a gift of spiritual awakening for me – you can’t get much better than that! I see God’s working as each day unfolds. Day by day, as the petals of this blossom of a new year open up, revealed is the wonder and the beauty of another year of God’s grace and God’s abundance. And with that, I too am blossoming, a new flower coming forth revealing beauty and joy within.

Yesterday Rog and I had a meeting to discuss processes and scheduling in our website design and development business. It was a productive conversation that moved us forward. Then he used the word production in querying how many websites I thought I could do each week. That triggered something in me that set off a barrage of anger and frustration, not the first time on this subject that involves money and time. I was acutely aware of my mind becoming limited and shutting down, and my heart space shrinking. Ego and fear had taken over once again. But as Rog talked to tell me his perspective about abundance and intention, I got clarity as to what had set me off. Then I was able to express it, honestly and in a diplomatic way. This was a huge step for me: getting down to the cause, giving voice to my feelings, and standing up for myself. I am aware that this episode was not really about Rog and me. It was about long-held patterns of thinking that do not serve me well and not feeling empowered. I am so grateful for the lesson and the teacher – what blessings! And, I … Continue reading →

“God guides us down the paths of life in mysterious and wonderful ways. We can’t know now how the events of this day might shape our tomorrow. But God does. From birth to death, God weaves the grand tapestry of our life. And it’s exciting to watch as His design works itself out with faith and great expectation. Father, thank You for using whatever happens to me today to shape my future for good.” – Scott Walker (Excerpt from Daily Guideposts, January 11, 2010) I don’t know God’s plan for me, i.e., why I was “re-activated” (see blog post of 1/07/10 and before) just as I don’t know why I got to the state that I was in before then. But I am sure there was a purpose behind it all – in all likelihood to be of service – and I am most grateful. I look forward with wonderful expectancy for more to be revealed in God’s Divine Plan for me. I’m on the lookout for synchronistic occurrences, guidance from Spirit and Its helpers, and all the other ways that God’s messages get broadcast to lead me to my good.

“What anyone else has or does not have has nothing to do with you. The only thing that affects your experience is the way you utilize the Non-Physical Energy with your thought. Your abundance or lack of it in your experience has nothing to do with what anybody else is doing or having. It has only to do with your perspective. It has only to do with your offering of thought. If you want your fortunes to shift, you have to begin telling a different story.” – Abraham, Excerpted from the book Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth and Happiness #313 The messages are all around me and consistent: My experience depends only on me. My life has been a pretty good one. It may not be viewed as ‘successful’ by others, but to me it has been a good one. This despite not having been given much guidance, set many goals, or been very conscious in my first three decades. Now, with the spiritual knowledge and experience I have, I can just imagine how wonderful it can really be… Guided by Spirit, knowing that I am responsible for my world, and enthusiastic about life, … Continue reading →
