the flower in the mud

when in doubt, call on the Universe!

have you ever found yourself depressed or simply sad, unable to get out of that funk?

i know i have. whether or not we care to admit it to ourselves, depression is something that is real and we've all been there. it's okay -- this morning's reading focused on softening those places within ourselves that have hardened and give ourselves permission to release it and let it go. 

which means, i had to go back to those thoughts and those places within myself to say -- okay, this is what it feels like, now God, take it away....

this is precisely when faith comes in! we have to know that when we pray and ask for God's light to shine on our hard places -- they will be become soft and eventually fade away. trust that. 

this morning, when reading about this process, i began to think of myself as a flower -- stuck in the mud, unable to detach from the grips keeping me where i was. i began to be thankful for my mud -- and the holding, because without this trapping, i wouldn't have been led to recognizing it and drawing myself closer to Spirit in order to break free. 

this mud -- represents the trappings of my sadness, and i, the flower -- is what the world needs. the world needs to see my beauty and my light!! and it needs to see yours. this process is a daily, mental challenge. my intentions of being free from worry, doubt and fear have to be real in order to manifest. so, i am committed and staying committed. 

miracles DO happen. 
that's the magic

xo, me.  

i am + i have

ciao Universal beings!

how are you? good, i hope. 
it's tuesday, but definitely feels like a weekend day for me o_0 not sure why lol but i welcome the more relaxed feeling. 

anyway, i watched a video from Agape's Sunday service yesterday and it really spoke to me. 
Rev. Beckwith spoke of using language that affirms what it is that we know about God and the power it holds in addition to the power inside of us. 

I am and I have.

When i thought about starting sentences with I am and I have, it was so obvious to me. Yes! of course I am going to change the world and I have everything I need...already, to do it. 

I believe that. 

I welcome this challenge today, because:

Divine insight frees me from fear and doubt and worry.

Self-love and acceptance is the starting point in all my relationships.

Gratefully and gracefully I live these words of truth.

these are affirmations for this week and i find them very fitting to opening ourselves up for more and more abundance and greatness that we are ready for!!

i am excited about the greatness coming my way -- you should be too :))

xo, me. 

alignment.

good evening Universal beings!

i hope your day has been beautiful. mine started with a power cycling class and needless to say, i feel excellent. i am so happy to be exercising again! stepping back from my computer and leaving my phone is a MUST at least three times a week lol

i woke up this morning with a really clear mind. last night i had the opportunity to speak with some creative minds who are all doing exceptional things in their lives. i have been blessed with amazing opportunities to speak with people who are DOING things and not just talking about them. so, it's been pretty inspiring to get a taste of their energy and really feel motivated to continue on my own projects. 

with my new found interest in filmmaking, i met a teacher + filmmaker that has agreed to speak to me about the field and i'm hoping i'll be able to shadow him in the near future. the Universe is really aligning me and i'm excited about it.

this is what i mean when i say get ready for the leadership from Spirit. your heart will let you know when you're heading in the right path and i believe that we all have the choice to open our eyes and minds to what's being given to us. it was by no mistake that i met these amazing souls last night -- it was purposeful and i'm ready for it. 

this process is going to stretch me and just like any advice i would give to a friend, i'm going to now give it to myself. and i'm going for it.

so, i'm off to do some writing!

this is the magic ;)

xo, me.
