Dreams (and *Miracles and Magic*) Wanted


Assignment: If there were no rules, no limitations, no boundaries, no hesitations, no restrictions, no lack, no hesitation, no resistance, no opposition, etc. what would we create?  What would you create?  What would you change in the world? Where would you place your efforts?  What kind of impact would you have?  Yes, you have endless financial support, so do with it what you will. 

Don’t bore me and don’t bore yourself with the traditional wishes of a million dollars.  Dream bigger than that!  Some say that anything is possible.  Well, what is anything?  What does anything look like?  Can you imagine creating something that you’ve never known or seen?  Can you make something so magnificent that words cannot describe it?

Take some time in the next few days to….

Visualize

It’s time to unleash that creative genius, that dreaming mischievous child, that renegade who won’t see limitation of what is, but imagines the possibilities of what could be!

Take some special time in the next few days – especially on Thursday/Friday, October 23/24th, 2014, when the universe is sprinkling a hell of a lot of **fairy dust** on your dreams.  Get your ideas together and envision them coming to light at the perfect time. Take advantage of these powerful energies of possibility, expansion, creativity, magnificence, magic, and MIRACLES!

Create whatever you want. Imagine it’s yours because it’s on the way…….

 
 


PS - I'd ask you to share your ideas, dreams, magic, and miracles, but I know that words could never do them justice, and they just cannot be contained or verbalized.  I get it....

Passion for Compassion

The dictionary definition of compassion is, “the sympathetic consciousness of others' distress together with a desire to alleviate it.”  It is the understanding or empathy for the suffering of others. Compassion is the emotion that we feel in response to the suffering of others that motivates a desire to help.

The Dalai Lama has said, "If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.”

In my own growth and learning process, I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to connect to some wonderful individuals who, in fact, teach the importance, components, and behavioral aspects and practices of compassion.

To observe the powerful ability of compassion, practice seeing everyone as a reflection of yourself.  You only want the best for yourself and others, so you will interact with others in a way that you wish for others to interact with you. 

If someone is in need of comfort, you are there to offer it, and vice versa.  If you see yourself as a constant source of support, love, and comfort (no matter what is occurring in your life), you are well on your way to living a life filled with compassion. 

Once that part is mastered, the practice of compassion can also be extended to those who you would otherwise turn away, such as anyone you consider an adversary, someone for whom you lack respect (or vice versa), someone who disregards you, or someone who does not show compassion towards you.

Compassion is a powerful energy that can be applied to any situation, and your unconditional love (especially when coupled with continual acts of forgiveness) enables you to care for others – regardless of the situation or interaction. When you do this, you are a model for others to extend their offerings of compassion – all without judgment for anyone or anything. Honor all individuals as you would honor your family, friends, children, and yourself.
 

The same basic truth remains unchanged: We are all here to learn and support each other as we grow, face challenges, and celebrate successes. – together. No need to carry around or hand over unnecessary baggage to others!             

 
~ If I show compassion for you, then you show compassion for me. ~

*Until next time, bathe yourself and others in compassion, forgiveness, and unending love. These are some of the greatest gifts that you can offer.*

Are you Creating Chaos or Masterpieces?



 
It has been said that our thoughts are comprised of energy.  Thoughts become formulated in our minds in response to our environment and all of the stimuli that exist in our everyday lives.  If we understand the importance and implication of this fact, we might do very well to be more mindful of what we allow to cross our minds!  

Imagine that moment by moment, every thought that enters your mind is instantly manifested in front of you.  What if your thoughts were automatically formulated into clay models?  What would you be molding and carrying around with you?

Here’s a simple comparison of daily outcomes driven by thoughts:

Scenario 1
 
·        You begin your morning by dreading another long day at work
·        You preemptively state how bad traffic will be, and there’s probably an accident or construction or another delay ahead
·        You gripe internally about how long the line will be to wait to get coffee
·        You just know that your annoying co-worker is going to ‘throw you under the bus’ today

Outcome:  Exactly what you said would happen - did.  See the irritated green monsters above. J

Scenario 2
·        You look forward to another day of life – no matter if it’s a full day of work, a vacation, day, or a weekend day
·        You just know that there will be no traffic to hold you back either heading to work or somewhere else
·        You look forward to seeing who is in the coffee shop to start their day and, out of curiosity, you wonder what is going on in their lives
·        You welcome any interaction with any co-worker because nothing can get you down!  Who knows what they are dealing with – it might be much more than what you have on your shoulders.

Outcome: Optimism and positive thoughts gather together to bring delight into your day.  See that happy butterfly with free-flowing energy and beauty?

Another simple way to remember this advice is shared quite well in the fortune cookie I ate earlier today, “Emotion is energy in motion.”

Become a master of your thoughts!

A T O M (A Time of Miracles)


Looking upon the vastness below, I see endless bright, shining lights emanating across the planet / galaxy /universe. 

Akin to a stream of beautiful Christmas lights or a network of intricately placed flashes of brilliance, they shimmer brightly and signify the magnificent light of LOVE, PEACE, and RADIANCE.  

Glimpses of the perfection of the universe flash before my eyes.  A following vision displayed a very clear and brilliant “A T O M” spelled out in front of the vastness of the surrounding stars.     

I shared these lovely images with a dear friend of mine, and as I shared my experience with her, she received a message from her higher guidance.  They whispered into her ear, “It’s a Time of Miracles.”  So that’s what ATOM represents!

I couldn’t agree more……
