Live A Vibrant Life!
Focus on play and adventure in your daily life. As you tackle any tasks at hand, ask yourself how can I infuse this with fun? Simply smiling more changes the vibration and allows joy to shine brightly. Find a new lightheartedness in your step and your chores will become pleasures, as you focus on laughter and play.
To create adventure, excitement and enthusiasm in your life may be as simple as taking time to watch animals, or smiling as you pass people on the street, where before you would hurry with your head down. It might be stepping outside of your box and planning something with friends and family or maybe doing something delightful that you’ve always wanted to try.
You really can turn anything mundane into something full of life and vibrancy. It’s your attitude that keeps joy from being a dominant force in your life. Once you indulge in the joy of life things not only become easier to accomplish, but it takes less time to get them done.
Animal Rescue As A Spiritual Calling
A friend recently asked me if have considered the possibility that all the animal rescue work I have been doing in recent years might be the symptom of a deep desire to heal some wounded part of myself? She also said I may be suffering from what her therapist refers to as a ‘savior complex.’ And this might stem from fear of rejection, insecurities and any other negative experiences from my childhood. I did not get defensive, but said I would ponder her remark. Actually, I am pondering what she said as I type this blog.
As much as my husband and I love all animals, it was never our intention to get as involved as we have now with our bounty of ‘rescued animals.’ In hindsight, we ended up taking in some very sick, injured, starving, and abandoned fur babies, because the small local rescue centre was bursting at the seams. I guess we found ourselves unable to bury our heads in the sand.
How To Improve Your Money Karma
Karma and money can be a very confusing and complicated spiritual matter. There are lessons in being poor and lessons in being rich. We will be rich in some lifetimes, and poor in others. Most lifetimes we will swing left and right of the middle of wealth.
The universe sometimes uses money as karma, but not always. Money is neither good nor bad. Money is energy. It can be used for good or bad.
The test for poverty is: can you be happy, healthy, holy, loving, generous and not be materialist or greedy if you are poor? The test for wealth is: can you be happy, healthy, holy, loving, generous and not be materialist or greedy if you are rich? Can you find peace no matter how much or how little money is in the bank?
All Is Well Where There Is Gratitude
I was sitting at camp this morning, thinking of all the things I had on my schedule for the day and the upcoming week. I had somehow overbooked myself, yet again. Not even four sips into my coffee… and I already felt some stress rise up in my chest.
At that moment I heard a little ‘purr-meow,’ as my cat Oscar looked at me quizzically. He always helps me to put life into perspective. We all need that honest friend who will tell us like it is, and get us refocused on what really matters. Oscar was sitting on his perch by the window. As he shifted his gaze to me, I could hear him say, “Why so stressed mama? We’re at camp and it’s a beautiful day out. All is well.”
I Am Responsible For Me
We all make mistakes. Each one of us has looked back on our life path and thought, if only I could go back and change it.
I wish I would have bought that house while it was still available at a lower price, because I would be on easy street by now. Or if I could go back and take that amazing job, which I did not realize was so wonderful at the time, due to my youth and inexperience, I could have retired with a huge pension and many benefits by now.
One of the biggest regret that comes up quite often, is wishing to go back and tell relatives and friends that we love them… before they passed away so unexpectedly. I have so much to say to them right now, I wish I would have said it then.
Live Your Vision
One of the key components of manifesting is believing you can achieve it, for without belief you have nothing but a wish. As you believe, so too shall you create. Live your vision. You may ask what does that mean? You have many desires and many wants swirling around in your mind. What exactly does it mean to live your vision?
We say to you, living your vision is a process. The first step in that process is becoming aligned with the energy of your vision. If you have created a vision, and every time you think about it, it makes you uneasy, or fearful, or afraid, because you do not know how this will happen… these are all signs that you have not aligned with the energy of your vision.
The energy of your vision is one of perfection, for you could not create in the highest order something that is not of perfection. So, let go of any belief systems or thoughts that you may not get it right, that you may be doing something wrong, that you are not deserving of goodness in your life.
Your Angels As Your Co-Creators
When we think of angels, we typically think of spiritual wisdom, guardianship, personal serenity and metaphysical insight. But did you know angels can also aid us in our creative pursuits? Have you ever heard of being inspired by a muse or divine inspiration? That is the sure sign of angels at work.
Two Archangels in particular, Jophiel (Beauty of God) and Uriel (Fire of God) are known for their association with creative inspiration. If you’re a creative person feeling stuck, or at a loss, call upon these angels for their assistance.
One of the easiest ways to do this is to create a vision board with a series of images and sayings which relate to your personal creative hopes and dreams. You may also include these two angels in your daily meditations or prayers. Or try writing an open letter to them. They are always listening and willing to help, but only if we call upon them for assistance.
