“The boy reached through to the Soul of the World, and saw that it was part of the Soul of God. And he saw that the Soul of God was his own soul. And that he, a boy, could perform miracles.” -Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist--- Words to live by...

In 2011, I am going to start thinking in terms of “when” not “If.”  I am going to start asking “Why not me?” instead of “Why me?”  I will allow myself to feel worthy and good enough instead of letting the same old fears and insecurities creep in.  Life is meant to be good. I am good and I plan on letting myself enjoy the wonderful things that are in my life right at this moment and the wonderful things that will come into my life this year.  I am a worthy of all of the magical blessings that I receive and I deserve to be nothing less than 100% happy and joy filled.  I am happy because I choose to be happy.  I seek happiness and it seeks me.  I will allow myself to love and be loved because I am a lovable person who people enjoy being around.  I will see love and the act of loving as a strength instead of a weakness and realize that just because I love someone I do not have to lose or compromise part of who I am.  I will follow my bliss and start making choices that make me feel whole.  I understand that because I seek monetary wealth, that does not make me a superficial or materialistic human being and having money makes me a more free human being.  Money is a good thing.  Loving and being loved is a good thing.  Desire is a good thing and manifesting is a better thing.  I am a powerful being that is beyond this world and understand that my entire goal here in this life, on this Earth, is to be present, happy and send out light and love to expand the consciousness of the Universe.       

We are all a part of this loving and thriving Universe that is everlasting and abundant and deserve nothing but happiness and love.

Sending you joy, light, and love. 

"Be realistic. Plan for a miracle." -Bhagwan Shree Rajineesh

Ah, miracles.  Those little pieces of magic that float around us daily that most of us are so consumed by our own lives that we have almost become blind to see.  We block our own ability to see, not just the good things in life, but the GRAND things in life.  But, here's the good news....we are never not fully able ,with just a change in perspective, to be able to not only be a receiver of miracles, but a creator of miracles.  It truly is amazing how many miracles start to show up daily when you remove the blinders and start showing gratitude for the small bits of magic that show up in your everyday life.

I recently started a book that I have been saying that I needed to start for a couple of years now.  Some may say I'm a procrastinator, but I prefer the term "late bloomer."  This isn't a book that one just stumbles across at Barnes and Noble and it most certainly isn't a book you force yourself to read.  I truly believe that it is one of life's grand miracles that shows up exactly when you need it and I believe it's a book that all of us are called to read at some point.  The book, which is entitled "A Course in Miracles," is just what the title explains, a course, fully including a student workbook and a teacher's manual.  I am only a few pages into it, but I already know I won't be the same person when I finish reading the last page of this book.  It is one of those reads that grabs you by the gut within the first two pages and you know that somehow, somewhere it was predestined for you to find this book, in this exact moment.

Isn't it funny how life has a way of giving you exactly what you need, exactly when you need it?  You know, I guess it isn't that funny at all, because I have known that this is the way God, the Universe, Source (whatever you may call it) works for quite sometime now.  In our human bodies, it's sometimes hard to remember that God's timing is never off, never skewed, and most certainly never late.  All of us, every now and then, forget to plan for the miracles that are destined to show up.  And when we aren't looking for them, it makes it very hard for us to see them, but it doesn't mean they aren't happening.  It's law. Maktub, or for those of you that don't speak Arabic..."It is written." Expect them, plan for them, and know that they are coming because they are already on their way.

Sending you light, love, and many, many miracles.
