 In the absence of longing, in the absence of doubt—in the absence of obstacles and shortages and problems—will be the solutions and abundance that you seek. And the evidence of your Vibrational shift will become obvious in two ways: first, you will feel better; and next, physical evidence of financial improvement will begin flowing to you from a variety of different directions. Esther and Jerry Hicks  |

 Oct 02, 2014 Visualize now, yourself, throughout all of your ages. From childhood, when you were a joyful, alive, vibrant, wonderful child . . . through the growing-up years . . . to your current age. . . . And surround yourself in this beautiful light. . . . You of all ages . . . this is all of you, there is no time. . . . You are safe. You are surrounded in light. Send yourself this light, this love. And bring all of these images of you into your heart . . . so that you are complete. And there is nothing to fear. You are safe. . Brian L. Weiss M.D. |

 Oct 03, 2014 EVERYDAY MIRACLES There is within each of us the possibility of magnificence. Every moment is an opportunity to make it manifest. Let the spirit awaken you to a miraculous life. Joy is our goal, our destiny. We cannot know who we are except in joy. Not knowing joy, we do not know ourselves. When we are without joy, we grope in the dark. When we are centered in joy, we attain our wisdom. Marianne Williamson |

 Oct 04, 2014 Metta, or lovingkindness, is one of the most important Buddhist practices. Simply stated, metta is the heartfelt wish for the well-being of oneself and others. When describing metta, the Buddha used the analogy of the care a mother gives her only child. Lovingkindness is also understood as the innate friendliness of an open heart. To practice lovingkindness meditation, sit in a comfortable and relaxed manner. Take two or three deep breaths with slow, long, and complete exhalations. Let go of any concerns or preoccupations. For a few minutes, feel or imagine the breath moving through the center of your chest in the area of your heart. Metta is first practiced toward oneself, since we often have difficulty loving others without first loving ourselves. Sitting quietly, mentally repeat, slowly and steadily, the following or similar phrases: May I be happy. May I be well. May I be safe. May I be peaceful and at ease. After a period of directing lovingkindness toward yourself, bring to mind a friend or someone in your life who has deeply cared for you. Then slowly repeat phrases of lovingkindness toward him or her: May you be happy. May you be well. May you be safe. May you be peaceful and at ease. Joan Duncan Oliver |

 Oct 05, 2014 We all know people who have passed on. See their light shining, and let their love surround us and soothe us. Each one of us has an infinite supply of love to give. The more we give, the more there is to give. Yes, sometimes it hurts to feel, but thank God we can feel. Let us be comforted and be at peace. And so it is. Louise Hay |

 Oct 07, 2014 Many people in this world have tremendously good qualities. There are those who lavish benefits on humanity and whose humanitarian projects have been crowned with success. There are also people who have realized their aspirations through great effort and steadfast perseverance, and still others who possess many talents. Rejoice from the bottom of your heart in the accomplishments of these people. Wish for their good qualities not to wane, but on the contrary to continue and flourish. The ability to feel joy in the most positive qualities of others is the best antidote there is to discouragement and to a dim and desperate view of the world and of human beings. It is also the remedy for envy and jealousy, which are reflections of the inability to rejoice in the happiness of others. Matthieu Ricard  |

Thank you Monty, I just don't have enough hands and hours in a day. I have 5 types of arthritis and my body doesn't always allow me to do what I want to do, I just do what I can, on any given day. I love doing them, love the kids and animals, they are so inspirational and always bring a smile to my face. I was posting them on another site and copying them here, but had to stop them there too. Will see about trying to continue doing them. Have had trouble doing the daily affirmations too, will turn it all over to my God and will ask for some additional energy and awareness. My gratitude list has gotten old too. I have been very busy with doctor's appointments and life has been catching up to me, so maybe it will slow down and I can do some catch up.  Thank you for your continued participaction on the board.  |

 Oct 23, 2014 Learn to accept prosperity instead of exchanging it. If a friend gives you a gift or takes you to lunch, you don’t have to immediately reciprocate. Allow the person to give you the gift. Accept it with joy and pleasure. You may never actually reciprocate with that person. You may give to someone else. If someone gives you a gift that you can’t use or don’t want, say: “I accept with pleasure and gratitude.” And pass it on to someone else. It’s okay to be prosperous; there is no shame or guilt—just joy and acceptance. Louise Hay  |

The following were received from Al-Anon, yet some are taken from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.
I am sure that no matter what fellowship you call home, you will be able to utilize them in your own life.
Step One:
Today, I ask for help with my "ism"
Denial has kept me from seeing how powerless I am and how my life is unmanageable.
I need to learn and remember that I have an incurable illness and that acceptance is the only way to deal with it.
Step Two:
I pray for an open mind so I may come to believe ins a Power greater than myself.
I pray for humility and the continued opportunity to increase my faith.
I don't want to be crazy anymore.
Step Three:
God, I offer myself to Thee
To build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt
Relieve me of the bondage of self
That I may better do Thy will
Take away my difficulties,
That victory over them my bear witness
To those I would help of Thy Power,
Thy Love and Thy Way of Life.
May I do Thy will always!
Step Four:
Dear God,
It is I who have made my life a mess.
I have done it, but I cannot undo it.
My mistakes are mine, and I will begin a searching and fearless moral inventory.
I will write down my wrongs, but Ill also include that which is good.
I pray for the strength to complete this task.
Step Six:
Dear God,
I am ready for Your help in removing from me the defects of character which I now realize are an obstacle to my recovry.
Help me to continue being honest with myself and guide me toward spiritual and mental health.
Step Seven:
My Creator,
I am now willing that you should have all of me, good and bad.
I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefullness to you and my fellows.
Grant me strength, as I go out from here to do your bidding. Amen.
Step Eight:
Higher Power,
I ask Your help in making my list of all those I have harmed.
I will take responsibility for my mistakes, and be forgiving to others as You are forgiving to me.
Grant me the willingness to begin my restitutions. This I pray.
Step Nine:
Higher Power,
I pray for the right attitude to make my amends, being ever mindful not to harm others in the process.
I ask for Your guidance in making indirect amends. Most important, I will continue to make amends by staying abstinent, helping others, and growing in spiritual progress.
Step Ten:
I pray I may continue:
To grow in understanding and effectiveness;
To take daily spot check inventories of myself;
To correct mistakes when I make them'
To take responsibility for my actions;
To be ever aware of my negative and self-defeating attitudes and behaviors;
To keep my willfulness in check;
To always remember I need Your help;
To keep love and tolerance of others as my code;
And to continue in daily prayer how I can best serve You, my Higher Power.
Step Eleven:
I pray to keep my connection with You open and clear from the confusion of daily life.
Through my prayers and meditation, I ask especially for freedom from self-will, rationalization, and wishful thinking.
I pray for the guidance of correct thought and positive action.
Your will, Higher Power, not mine, be done.
Step Twelve:
Dear God,
My spiritual aakening continues to unfold.
The help I have received, I shall pass on and give to others, both in and out of the Fellowship.
For this opportunity, I am grateful.
I pray most humbly to continue walking day by day ont he road of spiritual progress.
I pray for the inner strength and wisdom to practice the principles of this way of life in all I do and say.
I need You, my friends, and Program every hour of every day.
This is a better way of life.
I will to will your will, not mine be done. Amen!
Prayer can be a thought. Be careful of what you ask for.

Start Over
When you've trusted God and walked his way,
When you've felt his hand lead you day by day,
But your steps now take you another way...
Start Over
When you've made your plans and they've gone awry,
When you've tried your best and there's no more try,
When you've failed yourself and you don't know why...
Start Over
When you've told your friends what you plan to do,
When you've trusted them and they didn't come through;
And now you're all alone and it's up to you...
Start Over
When you've failed your kids and they're grown and gone,
When you've done your best but it's turned out wrong,
And now your grandchildren have come along...
Start Over
When you've prayed to God so you'll know his will,
When you've prayed and prayed and you don't know still,
When you want to stop cause you've had your fill...
Start Over
When you think you're finished and want to quit,
When you've bottomed out in life's deepest pit,
When you've tried and tried to get out of it...
Start Over
When the year has been long and successes are few,
When December comes and you're feeling blue,
God gives a January just for you...
Start Over
Starting over means "Victories Won";
Starting over means "A Race well run";
Starting over means "God's Will Be Done";
Don't just sit there... START OVER.

Count Your Blessings
When you are in trouble, do you find
that you feel you are all alone
When your heart grows heavy with burdens
and you feel you can't go on
When you think you are the only one
that has this pain
Count your blessings and look around you
and don't you dare complain
I complained about having no new shoes
to put on my feet
I grumbled that my wages were just not enough
until I looked around and saw a blind man holding a cup
Reach out to the man who needs some help along the way
Think little more of others
and not so much of yourself
If you have two coats and a man has none
God will surely bless you
for giving him one
So count your blessings one by one
and Thank God for most precious gift of all
His Precious Son
He's there to comfort us in trouble and sorrow
if we stop and Thank Him for all He has done.

Daily Guru WHAT DO YOU FEED YOUR MIND? "I then remembered why I avoid the 'news,' if that's what you want to call it. Our 'news' is a misnomer, and it's more like 'the ongoing train wreck you can tune in to at any time when you want to divert yourself from your purpose and your happiness... lose your faith in humanity... and go from feeling like things are pretty good to feeling like the world is going to sh*t and why bother going on, I mean really?'" -- Ali Brown Our beliefs create our reality. If we wish to live happy, healthy lives, it's vital that we feed our minds healthy, nourishing material. The negative, sensational focus of today's 'news' media hardly serves to enlighten us about the true state of the planet. Let's open to our limitless potential by keeping our focus firmly on what uplifts us. -- John Robson "The world is not dying. It's not falling apart. It's changing. I personally believe that pessimism is an indulgence, despair an insult to the imagination. There are wonderfully positive things out there." -- Wade Davis  DO YOU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF? "We cannot rise higher than our thought of ourselves." -- Orison Swett Marden What do you believe about yourself? If you are experiencing a lack of something in your life, chances are that you hold a belief in your subconscious that says you aren't worthy of having that quality. Write in your journal the answer to these questions for yourself: -- John Robson Where are you not good enough, not worthy enough? How willing are you to receive? -- John Robson "We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit." -- e. e. cummings  |
