What's your story?

I thought that since I am in perfect health and experiencing a particularly joyful life today, I would blog about it.

The more I talk about my good life the better it gets.

This is one of the laws of the universe which I am very fond of.

I am thrilled it is Saturday and I get to go shopping for my forthcoming vacation.

I am excited about shopping for swimwear, sundresses and strawhats!

How lovely to be wearing light clothing in warmer weather.

I am enjoying the most delicious Belgian chocolates.

I loved watching the Opening Ceremonies of the Winter Games last night.

I love how good I feel in my body and how good my body feels on me.

I am looking forward to rendezvouing with our friends next month.

The cookies I made yesterday were a big hit.

My potted chives are growing nicely.

I enjoy my LOA ipod apps.

I love the big box of tea I received from my English pals.

I am basking in the appreciation of the wonderful compliments my traveling jewelry is receiving.

Life is good and getting better!

I'm an addict

I think I am addicted to feeling good and the U is my supplier!

Last Monday I did a Placemat Process for the fun of it. I thought it was a waste of paper to just ask the U for 5 things, so I kept asking until the right side of the page ran out.

Then yesterday afternoon, I was settling down to some cross- stitching and noticed the page on the floor, so I picked it up and read it through. Immediately I was filled with thrillbumps (this is the manner in which Source flows through me when I am in perfect alignment) as every single thing on the U's side had materialized!

I was absolutely stunned. I don't think I had ever seen my list manifest this fast.

To be fair, I have been cultivating my skills as a creator for a while now, but sometimes I slip into being sloppy and lazy about it. I guess when things are going well and there is no contrast I tend to slack off. Anyway, this month we are focusing on only processes in my Wellbeing Group, so I guess I have been quite diligently focused and this could be one reason why I am locking on to the signal more frequently.

Either way, it is a wonderful feeling to not just see the manifestations but to feel so exhilarated about everything and nothing!

I'm also seeing energy more now and this is even more fun!

It is true that nothing absolutely nothing is more important than that I feel good. Feeling Good. Feeling as good as I can feel and then feeling better than that!

Feeling so good that when I raise the blinds I see the family of deer feeding in the back garden! This is the pay off for cultivating good feelings and it is so worth it!

Appreciating the ornery ones!

Be grateful and count your blessings!

Have you heard this before? I grew up with this piece of crap and let me tell you it is one of the most self limiting beliefs you can ever practice.

So stick your fingers down your throat and bring this up and out of your system right now!

You finished?

Here's a tissue, wipe your mouth and fingers and go forth and tell no one.

If only it was that easy!

So what did this belief do?

The well meaning adult who imparted this bit of rubbish to us meant that we were less than good, less than deserving to begin with.

Therefore no matter how mistreated and ill treated we were, our only job was to say "Yes'em" and "Thank You".

It was their job to treat us with as little respect or regard as possible, and it was our job to respond with the greatest respect and regard for they were our Gods and Goddesses and we were absolutely non-deserving, bothersome little brats.

We had to be grateful that we were meriting some form of physical or mental abuse because, well, it could be worse. So be grateful damit and count your blessings.

The thing that causes this universe to expand and us to evolve is desire.

Desire that is born when we live a contrasting experience.

The trick here is to run with the desire part and leave out the rest. 
This is what seperates those of us who are living extraordinary lives from those who are living lives of quiet desperation.

When I was growing up I had much contrast and I could not complain to a single soul because they were all Gods and Goddesses who said, "Be grateful and count your blessings!"

I was sent to bed without dinner because I couldn't find Botswana on a world map. Be grateful and count your blessings at least you had a bed!

My mother quarralled every single day of my life.

Be grateful and count your blessings at least you have a mother!

My cousin imprinted her teeth on my fleshy forearm.

Be grateful and count your blessings at least you have a cousin!

School is not teaching me anything I am interested in.

Be grateful and count your blessings at least you have a school!

At some level of my being I knew I was born deserving and I was already a blessed being.

It was not something I had to earn. I was born deserving.

So when I heard this coming from these people whom I thought of as Wise and All Knowing, I realized it was I who held the Keys to the Kingdom.

I loved myself and knew that I wanted a different life from the life they were trying to mold me into.

So every single time they fed me that piece of crap "Be grateful and count your blessings." I decided to do so - with my newfound understanding.

I said to myself, " I am grateful for this experience of having to go to bed without dinner, because I would never treat another kid like that.

I would never withhold food as a source of punishment because I was unhappy with myself." This is what it feels like to go to bed hungry when others are feasting one wall away. It was not a feeling I was likely to forget, nor ever impose upon one other.

I counted my blessings too:

I am glad I know differently.

I am glad that this person is showing me how NOT to be.

I am glad that I know about myself and how I want to be.

I am glad that this is creating a new desire for me to have the freedom to live a joyous life, free of the self-loathing all these adults are demonstrating around me.

I want a better life for myself. I want to live happily ever after. I want to be surrounded by love and appreciation. It will be the only currency in my life.

I will have people who are nicer to themselves and to me. I will have people who are uplifting, kind and appreciative like I am, like I was born to be.

Of course I did not use these words back then, but I did have the feelings of what I wanted and that was enough. It is not our words but our feelings that manifests our desires.

Today, I am indeed living happily ever after. I am wealthy in all ways.

My life is mostly blissful and it is as a result from all that contrast I grew up with.

I am appreciative of all the ornery, unhappy, self- loathing people I ever encountered, for they all showed me what I did not want to become and as a result what I did want.

You might be asking how come you lived a similar life and you are not wealthy with well-being.

Could it be that you spent your thoughts resenting them and plotting revenge instead of dreaming of only what you wanted?

My Personal Beliefs☮

A Birth Certificate shows that we were born into this physical world. A Death Certificate shows that we were once here in physical form and that we have returned fully to God/Source/Non-physical, where the larger part of us is always residing.

I Believe...
That whether or not you choose to embrace my beliefs, they are true for me and that is all that matters!

I Believe...
I cannot become poor enough to help poor people get rich and I cannot get sick enough to help sick people get well.-AbrahamHicks
We are each responsible for how we choose to feel and what thoughts we choose to have. Our physical manifestations are letting us know!

I Believe...
That every 'death' is a choice and all it really means is that we have returned to the fullness of who we are in nonphysical form. All the more reason for us to seek joy over anything else!

I Believe...
That my willingness to allow myself to experience joy and well being is the only credential that matters.

I Believe...
That my life is constantly evolving and I get to decide what I want to experience in every moment.

I Believe....
Two people can look at the exact thing and see something totally different, because we are each a unique being who came here for the joy of the diversity.

I Believe...
That I am a powerful creator and that I create every single experience in my life, I also know that no one else can have any influence in my life. It's all my doing.

I Believe....
That my background and circumstances
may have influenced who I am.
Ultimately I am responsible for who I am becoming and everyone and everything else is off the hook!

I Believe...
That any heart break or sorrow I feel is never about the other person and always about me and my connection to Source/God.

I Believe....
That when I truly love myself as God/ Source loves me, the subject of forgiveness becomes irrelevant.

I Believe....
That maturity or a life is not how many years I've been here, but how much joy I've allowed myself to experience.

I Believe...
That anger is a blessed emotional signal that tells me I am in opposition to what I want.

And that, I have a right to be angry and those who don't like it better stay out of my way.

I Believe....

That life is good and well being abounds!

I Believe...

That my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time, as long as we are both focused on mining the joy.

I Believe...
That heroes are the people who listen to their own guidance system. This way they can never do anything that is detrimental to another. Ever.

I Believe...
That either you are a deliberate creator or not; you can decide for yourself OR you can let others decide for you.

I Believe....

That we are totally responsible for how we feel and what we think and that we can change our feelings by choosing a different thought.

I Believe....
That I should keep going for as long as I enjoy it and when I am no longer enjoying it, it is time to quit. Quitting something I no longer enjoy is the most spiritual thing I can ever do.

I Believe...

That you should always know your worthiness and your deservedness because that is who you truly are..

I Believe...
That what others say and do is none of my business.

I Believe...
That when a relationship no longer serves us, it is time for us to move on.

I Believe....

That no matter how good a friend is, I am totally responsible for how I feel and I cannot ever hold them responsible for my feelings.

I Believe...
That all relationships are eternal, regardless of where we are physically.

I Believe...
That you can do something that takes you out of your natural state of well being and that it's a wonderful signal for you to return to your state of wellbeing.

I Believe....
That I am exactly where I was meant to be and I am eager about my unfolding.

Happy 80th Birthday, Pappy

May you continue to Ask and Recieve.

May you know your Worthiness.

May you fulfil the purpose of your life

which is to live joyously.

May you allow in your well-being with every breath you take.

May you always find things to be happy about and ignore everything else.

May you follow your own guidance.

May you focus only upon what you want.

May you focus only upon things which pleases you and causes you to smile.

May you come to know yourself as God knows you which is pure love.

May you know these things so that you can be amongst the few who is truly living as God intended.

We are all One.

Just saying 'no' to everything may be good short term politics but it's not leadership.

President Barack Obama.

Last night, our President gave the best SOTU address I have ever heard from a President.

He spoke to the people. He spoke to the Congress. He is the only people's President I've seen on my watch.

He understands the simple fact that we are all one. Now he has to try and convince the opposition we are all one.

Once we accept we are all one. We can get on with living the lives we have dreamt about.

For those who choose not to accept this, they will continue to dream about the lives they want to live.

Fortunately for me, I have been living the dream.

What about you?

For today and its blessings.

I love my life today because:

My mate brought me coffee in bed, a ritual I look forward to on weekends.

I have a fridge full of green, red, yellow and orange vegetables at my disposal.

Even though I live in a cold climate just now, my home is warm and comfortable.

I have a wealth of tools  at my disposal  to make myself feel even better than I do right now - and writing this list is one of those tools ☺

Ever since I began following Dr Oz advice on eating less calories, I have been feeling weller than I ever did!

Yesterday I spent the morning walking round Walden Pond and it was pure bliss and today I woke up recalling that blissful time.

It is Sunday, my doodling day, where I do whatever I feel like doing...

I have a dishwasher,  a refrigerator, a gas cooker, a washing machine, my own car, my own gym room, my own woods, a telephone in my own home, I know the neighbors on either side of me and the mail comes to my door on a daily basis.

I live in a quiet, peaceful, fresh air environment.

I have access to any information I want  via the Internet.

For today and its blessings, I owe the world an attitude of gratitude.

Doily

My plan is to spend more time in the vortex of my wellbeing.

This doily in particular brings me right in. My dearest friend Roberta made it for me.

She guessed at the colors and the size.

It turned out to be the most beautiful and appropriate thing for this glass table in my parlor.

I love to sit in this room and admire all the works of art in here. The sofas are soft and cozy for curling up with a good book or for just quiet conversations.

This is my relaxation room, where I go to feel my blessings and bliss out.

It is also a room where I journal my desires, knowing they will come to fruition.

It's a sort of allowing room if you will.

2010 Resolutions

I have and am learning how to live from my own life experience. I pick and choose what I want and how I want to live based on my feelings of joy and satisfaction.

In 2010 I plan on:

1. Keeping only cheerful uplifting people in my life.
2. Learning new things on a daily basis.
3. Discovering and enjoying more of the world.
4. Living simply.
5. Enjoying the things I have.
6. Cherishing my health and wellbeing.
7. Appreciating! Appreciating! Appreciating!

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!
