I value only what makes me feel good.

The only way that you can ever know if something is of value to you is by the way it feels as you are receiving it.

Supercook to the rescue!

Sometimes I don't know what to cook. 

I look at the ingredients I have and still I don't know...

This is where supercook comes to my rescue. 

A Woman in Charge

Today I am reading A Woman in Charge which is a fascinating book about Hillary Rodham Clinton.

There are so many things I did not know about this remarkable woman and now this well written book is a very satisfying read. 

Being harmonious with myself and those like me

One of things I gave up in the past five months was to stop persuading people I care about to think better feeling thoughts.

In hindsight, it was really none of my business to try and drag them kicking and screaming to the magnificent vista I was privvy to.

Not only were they unwilling to go, they were very resentful of me and the magnificent vista I have.

Since I have taken my atteniton from these inharmonious vibrations and focused it upon that which I am in harmony with, I am enjoying myself better than ever.

It is a relief to not have to dampen my enthusiasm or pretend to justify my blessings or be embarrassed about my deservedness.

This freedom to openly and unabashedly be who I am with those who are also coming into this understanding  is ineffable.

Well-being abounds!

I make it a point to seek out Well being within each day and do you know, it's always there? Everywhere I look it's there delighting and surprisng me.

This morning I was hoping I had some cocoa powder for some spicy hot chocolate, but I wasn't sure. Then I opened the pantry, scanning the shelves and there it was! A new box of Droste Cocoa powder!

Well being truly abounds!

I make it a point of looking for the well being and looking away from that which is not and you know what?

The more I seek out the well-being, the more I get what I want.

Evidence of my evolving life.

 

I am more relaxed.
I  get all green lights and easy parking spaces easily and effortlessly.
People are nicer than ever before.
I see more deer, fox, groundhogs, rabbits and turkeys in the garden.
The hummingbirds, cardinals and bluebirds perch on the deck railing,  
just a few feet from where I would be standing or sitting.
I am having great success with everything I plant.
We discover one new place to visit every weekend.
We always have a vacation away from home to look forward to.
This summer has been one of the best ones since I've been here in MA.
I am always discovering  really fabulous food  when we go out.
It seems that I barely ask for something and it shows up in a matter  
of days.
I can feel that my life is flowing with more ease and grace than a  
year ago.
The best is yet to be!

Remember when?

 

Remember  when some well meaning, well intentioned but extremely misguided adult would say the following:

 “It’s for your own good that I am spanking you.”

“I worry about you because I love you.”

“ I know it tastes bad but it’s good for you.”

“I know you hate to eat_____ but it is good for you.”

“Even though you dislike being with your grouchy ______, nevertheless you have to go and visit.”

“I know you don’t want to _____ but I say you must.”

‘You cannot do only what you think is good for you, you have to do as I say and forget about your feelings.”

My question is:

Just how disconnected were these people, to actually believe these statements?

Allowing Others.

 

I have the audacity to want others to have a more joyful life experience, and so I can sometimes bully them into it, because I cannot stand to see them having a limiting, mediocre life experience.

Of course it NEVER works! They have to WANT to be more joyful and I can want it for them, but I cannot make them do it, or be it or even want it.

I now accept  the fact that my only business on this planet is to personally seek my own upliftment and to allow others.

Allowing others is the most important change I have made to date.

Allowing others to be as happy, joyous and fulfilled as they wish to be.

Allowing others to be as sad, miserable, depressed, sick and angry as they wish to be.

Allowing others period.

Of course it also means that I now allow myself to be only with those who are like-minded :)

Heaven!

 

I imagine heaven to be feelings of joyousness, since it is not actually a place but a feeling.

It has got to be a feeling because we are vibrational beings having a physical experience.

My life then, is mostly heavenly!

I love life.

I love the life I live.

I love being me.

Sometimes I experience hell too, this is when I am making myself do something or think something that is not joyful.

Fortunately, I am doing less of that these days.

Heaven is where I plan on residing!

 

I am sitting here sipping my coffee and enjoying the smell of freshly cut grass. I like the textured look and feel my lawn has. It contains about three different grasses as well as clover. I love clover! I am mesmerized by my lawn. It reminds me of how I live my life. I abhor sameness. I love that every patch of grass is different. I love the uneven growth, the different shades of green, the different shapes of every blade of grass and the white flowers which dots the lawn right before they get mowed over. I shudder to think of how dull life would be if  we all thought the same.. ugh!

 

This morning I woke up and just felt ok.
I thought that was kinda blah and I ought to reach for something  
better...
I checked the emoscale and found I was in boredom.
I thought that was really awful until I saw what was beneath boredom:

Pessimism

Frustration/Irritation/Impatience

Overhwhelment etc.
I felt immediately better that I was only in Boredom :)
I proceeded to do some of the processes to move myself into a better feeling place.

I did The Prosperity Game, VR, Meditation, BOPA and Focus Wheel.

Half an hour later I felt eager to get on with things I was now  
inspired to do.
It's amazing to have access to so much power and control over my own life.

It's all about me, done to me, by me!

Isn't life full of wonder?

Laughter

 

I spent this week compiling a list of things that generates laughter for me.

Some of them are copyrighted, so I cannot share them here and a lot of them are downright silly!

It is the silly generators that gets me in the vortex every single time.

I believe that laughter is better than meditation  at bringing myself into alignment. I know this because of the way I feel and because of how easily I get things done or things I want.

I source laughter from  the funny jokes my mate tells me, YouTube, email jokes, sitcoms, movies, books, the antics of the wildlife in my garden,

socializing with our friends and looking for things to laugh about in general.

Worrying

 

Since I've quit worrying which is really an ongoing mind  re training project with me, I've had time to read all the books you see on the left.
I've also had time to watch countless movies old and new, as well as attend to numerous projects, participate in social events and be in active communications with my few trusted friends around the globe.
I've also found that I have no tolerance for people who participate in worry and who wants to share their worries with me.
It just does not feel good to me.

Finding harmony with my own desires

 

My ongoing work is to find harmony with my own desires.

This usually comes to the forefront when I am experiencing situations that are uncomfortable.

The more I look at or participate in the uncomfortable experience, the more discordant I become.

What to do about it?

Firstly, from looking at this this thing that I do not want, I know instinctively what it is I do want and that is what I have to find vibrational harmony with -

What I desire.

Desire is what causes the universe to expand.

It is wonderful to know that we are all free to choose the things we like and that we do not have to choose the same things.

Everyone can choose differently and live harmoniously, but that requires a very broad perspective.

Those who are not willing to share this broader view will have a very different experience.

I firmly believe I came here because I knew it was the most amazing place to be and that  I did not want to miss it!

My only work is to choose thoughts, words and actions that feel as good as this amazing planet!

Born to be selfish

 

I am proud to say that I am a very selfish being!

It took a while to arrive here too!

What a place to be!

The freedom here is indescribable!

There is no limit to the use of exclaimation marks for one thing!

It is enlightening to know that I do not have to do what they want, 

or think like they want me to, 

or say what they think I should say,

or do what they think I should do, 

or feel as they feel.

I am selfish enough to know that good feels good and therefore IS good.

Anything that feels less than good is totally unacceptable to me.

Worthiness

 

Worthiness is such a beautiful word!

I can feel the grace in it just by saying, "I am worthy!"

It is so natural to say and experience worthiness.

It feels delicious to know and feel I am worthy.

I am worthy.

I am worthy of all the wellbeing there is.

I am worthy just because I am.

I don't feel the need or see a reason to justify my worthiness.

I was born worthy and therefore deserving of everything that is good.

Worthiness is my birthright and yours to.

Are you going to accept it?

Appreciation=Allowance=Expansion

 

There is great value in looking for things to appreciate.

I find myself doing this almost all the time now.

Sometimes when I am in the company of someone new, they usually look upon me with great amusement, as I exclaim about

every 'friggin' thing around me. 'Do you have to appreciate everything?' 

Yes I do!

'Why?'

Because it makes me feel good!

Looking for things to appreciate also means I am focused on what feels good and what IS good.

 Focusing with an attitude of appreciation- upon the scenery, or the comfortable, reliable car I'm driving in, or the wonderful music I'm listening to, 

or the well kept highways and byways, or the convenience of the filling stations, or the fantastic weather or my efficient windshield wipers or the bottle of spring water that's next to me- puts me in a place of Allowance.

I can only get to Expansion from this place of Allowance which can only be arrived at from a place of Appreciation.

My real destination

 

My real destination today is an improved feeling.

I woke up feeling the heaviness in the air which is noticeably different from the previous dry days we've been experiencing.

While humid and warm is not my perfect environment, I've got to choose to feel better first and foremost.

I decided that going to the fish market  first thing this morning, would feel better to me, so I did that.

It was a smooth easy drive with all green lights and front door parking.

I was delighted to find fresh sea scallops on sale along with all the other things on my list.

I am also starting a new cross-stitch project today which will bring my list of current projects up to a grand total of five!

This means that each day of the week I could work on a different one. 

The variety of choices makes me feel even more inspired.

Another thought I have is to mount the photos of my wildflower garden onto the cards, while I chat with my friend on skype.

Already, I am well on my way to my desired destination with these good feeling thoughts and actions.

Life is good!

I love it!

 

I do love knowing everything that has happened to me is because of my relationship between me and me.

I love knowing that no one else is to be blamed or credited for my manifestations.
It has always only been about me, me, me!
WOW!
So when the disgruntled man asked me to move my car because 'that was no place to park' I cheerfully moved it, and grinned at him when someone else promptly moved into the spot!
Others can try to ruin my day and they can succeed only if I let them.
Only if I let them!
WOW!

Vibrational Harmony

 

I am definitely in vibrational harmony today!

I felt love for my mate and the beautiful day which greeted me.

I appreciated my cup of Latte as I surveyed the beautiful flowers  in the garden and on the deck.

I felt joyous as the hummingbirds swooped in for their food.

I was eager to begin weeding the flower beds in the cool temperature of the morning.

I was absolutely delighted when my mate joined in the weeding too!

My washing machine was repaired in less than two hours after I made the call to the repair man.

I found all my favourite wines at the store today.

I heard from my best friend and I had a lovely surprise in the mail.

I believe I am tuned in, tapped in and turned on.

Life is extremely good to me because I am letting it!

Get Happy!

 

Practicing happy thoughts or getting happy is the secret to getting it all!
I am blessed to do whatever I want, whenever I want and however I want.
Mostly I do it all with a happy spirit.

Washing the sinks and bathrooms?
I usually listen to an audio book while doing the mundane chores.

Exercising?
Invigorating music.

Gardening?
Abraham cds or audio books.

Cooking?
Music

Decking?
That speaks for itself! :)

Cross-stitching?
Netflix streaming or a DVD

Computing?
MacBook of course!
(sheer pleasure just to use it as a tool)

Driving?
audio book or music

When I am not doing any of the above I am usually daydreaming in my journals using gel pens of course!

Lighten up!

 

I am appreciating all the contrasting experiences I had in the month
of June.
I got to clarify more  clearly what I did want.
I found out that I want more like minded people to rendezvous with.
I want more enthusiastic, joyful beings to romp with.
I like being with people who appreciate everything in their experience.
I like an adventurous spirit.
I like when life is looked at from an overflowing point of view rather
than half empty or even half full.
It is always overflowing to me.


I'd like for it to rain every other day.
I like the lightening storms once a month as they boost plant growth.
I enjoy seeing the deer every single day.
I love and adore silence.
I do my best creating in this feathered nest.

I like being reminded to lighten up and not be so damned perfecting!
So I've decided against ripping out a row of cross stitch because I
used the
wrong shade of pink! (I really need to lighten up don't I?)

What if everyone minded their own business period?

I gleefully  and eagerly accept that the magnificent life I am now
living is always working to accommodate me.
ALWAYS working to accommodate me, no matter how it looks.
NO MATTER HOW IT LOOKS!

As I lighten up during the course of the rest of my life I will
benefit enormously from the contrasting experiences.
I will no longer freak out over the What Is.

So here is my story:
I am enormously appreciative of my guests who were of a completely
different vibration and not.
I saw somethings which I had active in my vibrations as well and I do
thank them for pointing that out.
I remember a time when my mother was so discontented and resentful of
my father that even she forgot why.
It became a habit to complain about him and so she never stopped!
I remember when my brother refused to acknowledge that my parents
started him out with the business he now has.
It's amusing to hear him say that he created it from scratch by the
sweat of his brow. The other day when I got off the Precor machine I
felt the sweat on my eyebrows and wondered what could I create with
it? Then I thought of calling my expert brother and asking him!!!
I do so enjoy cracking myself up! 

The most important reason for feeling good!

 

These days I am really focused on feeling good about myself. 

I have got to do this because it is how I vibrate the positive energy that is vital to attracting the positive things I want in my life.

Therefore my  very wellbeing depends upon me feeling as good as I can feel most of the time.

I have the longest list of wants and I do so want everything that I want to manifest for me.

The only way to do it is to adore myself.

You see, if I don't like Me or if I find fault with Me or if I criticize Me in anyway I am effectively saying a resounding "NO" to all the things that will manifest for me otherwise.

Good to know isn't it?

My 15 minutes of Imagining my daily life

 

"We're going to give you a very powerful statement: Everything that you will some day live, in terms of life experience — and by some day, we mean as soon as right now, tomorrow, the next day, or some day — anything that you will some day live, you have first imagined. Because nothing will manifest in your experience without the imagination process happening first."

Excerpted from the workshop in Houston, TX on Saturday, January 5th, 2002 Abraham-Hicks.

I enjoy awakening to birdsong and deer feeding in the wildflower meadow these mornings.

It is blissful to sip coffee and watch these playful, frisky, joyous, beautiful, graceful animals come and go as they please.

I love how the cats stroll through the garden like nobody's business ( it isn't).

I enjoy merging with the silence and my thoughts of wellbeing.

I eagerly anticipate what each day will bring and what I want it to bring.

I love having a view of the ocean from my window and the cool breeze that filters throughout the house.

I love the acres of wildflowers and the view of the mountains off in the distance.

I am enjoying the peace and solitude  I get from daily living.

I love going out in the garden and tending to my plants on a daily basis.

I love re connecting with my SE and the earth in this manner.

I love how the garden inspires me to more creative in every avenue of my life.

I enjoy having wonderful appreciative people around me.

It is so beautiful to share the joy of daily living with other like minded people.

I love being able to decorate my home tastefully and simply.

I love my sense of style!

I love shopping for ingredients to prepare delicious exotic dishes.

I love the scenic routes to the shops.

I love how easygoing my life is.

I appreciate my wellbeing.

I love living and moving and having my being in this place.

It is wonderful to be here and to have all of this at my disposal.

I love that I consciously enjoy all the good that comes my way and from it I get to want more!

I love the new planters I have!

I am appreciating my new Viking kitchen along with the spaciousness of the work areas.

I love having a housekeeper as well as a kitchen helper.

I love that we are traveling more than ever before.

I enjoy road trips with Andre and I am so glad he loves to drive.

I love our new car. It is comfortable and silent and a breeze to drive.

I love the reliability of all our cars and vehicles.

I love my neighbors!

I love and enjoy there presence.

I am blissing out on the deck amongst my beautiful blooming flowers.

I love the fragrant ones and the colourful ones and the thorny ones and the tiny fragile ones.

I appreciate my gardner more than anything else.

I love that he knows exactly what to do and when to do it .

I love that he loves gardening!

I am blessed to have at my disposal every resource the Universe has to offer me.

I love this feeling of freedom and wellbeing that I have generated for myself.

I love the evidence of all of this!

When I see the deer I know it,

When I see the birds I know it,

When I get all green lights I know it.

When I do not have to wait at the check out counter I know it!

When I have front door parking, I know it!

I have so much evidence of wellbeing!

Life is truly good and getting better.

I wrote the above for 15 mins. Facts seamlessly mixed in with fantasy! :)

My three cups of tea...

 

This photo instantly raises my vibrations to infinity.

The daily photo posting is not in my best interest.

I started out this year, thinking I would post a photo a day as a picture diary.
It is easy enough to take a snapshot or two of my daily activities.
However it is not  convenient to upload and post the photos on a daily basis here so this project has come to an end!
I will continue to post photos of my trips to my photo blog.

My father wrote his autobiography and I am now in the process of transcribing it to it's own blogsite.
I find it to be very fascinating since it describes his life before me!

I also like the idea of continuing my journals here, because I already have a tote full of journals and I don't really want to have extra boxes for my next relocation.

I am also looking to digitally store all my 'kodak' print pictures as well.
Virtual Storage seems like a viable option for me at this time.
