Say it with flowers

Being a woman, I grew up with romanticising receiving flowers from a secret admirer or boyfriend or partner. And I love receiving flowers.  All those special occasions made happy because the one special person in my life gave me flowers !  I am sure there will be those who know what I am talking about.

Love, gratitude and positive thinking

Most of us look at things that we long for, wait for events to happen to make us happy.  We are always waiting for something to happen or to get something which we feel will make us happy and bring meaning to our life.  How much further from the truth could we be.

As we wait for things to get better, that is the intention we set - waiting for things to get better - and that is the only reality we will experience.  We will only experience what we choose to and if we choose to wait for things to happen then that is the only experience we will have.

The journey is just as important

I am born,
Without knowledge, without limitations,
Innocent to the ways of the world.

Being happy is not a sin

To be happy is in your nature
It is a state of being and not doing.

We get falsely led to believe that we do not deserve to be happy,
Or maybe that it is not for us,
And when we do feel happy we start feeling guilty because of it.

Do away with and banish such thoughts for they are not true,
You are a being meant to be in a state of happiness, joy, contentment.

The temporary situations that lead us to experience the opposite of these emotions
Are only temporary as they should be
Helping us to realise what it is to be in a state of happiness.

Be in a state of happiness in whatever you experience
Even in pain and disruption be happy that you have the chance to understand, appreciate and know what the state of being happy is.

Have a blessed day

Today is my day

It's a new day
It's a new dawn, a new beginning
It's the next step to the rest of my life.

We are all equally worthy

When we think of Masters or Teachers or Gurus, they always seem to be someone who has already passed on, or in some rare cases they are here today and held in reverence by all those around.

Life is what you make of it

Life is what you make of it
It can be anything you choose it to be

You can have fun in everything you do
Experiencing life as it should be
For life is a joyful experience and will always be whatever the situation

How we decide to react to Life determines how we experience it.

My personal preference is to sing, play, dance, love through life because that feels much better than being unhappy, miserable and complaining about life all the time.

And having a positive outlook on life is much healthier as well!

Enjoy life for that is what it's meant to be.

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

Happiness is in the present

Happiness is a state of being
It's how we feel that puts us in this state of being.

We find so many reasons why we can't be happy in the present
Always telling ourselves that we will be happy when a particular thing happens
And when it does happen we are happy for a while
And then think of the next thing to happen that will make us happy.

Light and Dark

Light and Dark
One cannot exist without the other
One must experience both to know the other
Without one the other does not have any meaning.

When in the Dark, acknowledge it, accept it and know it for what it is
Remember when you are in Darkness that there is the opposite which is Light
And know that what you are experiencing in the present moment is as it should be
That only by experiencing the Darkness can you know the Light
Most of all know that the Darkness is temporary.

When in the Light, embrace it, accept it and soak in all that the Light has to offer
For when you come into the Light from the Darkness you can appreciate it and know it for what it is
A joyful coming home of all that is and everything being as it should be
You can stay in the Light and rejoice for as long as you choose
Filled with Love for that is what Light is
The experience strong because you have already experienced the opposite
For after the Darkness the Light is much brighter and you are able to appreciate if for all it is.

Till you choose to experience Darkness again so that you don't forget
Till the time you choose to come back to experience the Light again.

And so on it goes - Light and Darkness - both existing together.

Have a blessed day
In love and Light

The Power Within

Be aware
Live conciously
Know your power
Know yourself, who you really are.

Others can walk over you, hurt you or drain you of your positive energies
Only if you let them.

By living unconsciously we are allowing others to do all these things to us
And we wonder why we feel unhappy and sad.

Acknowledge yourself first
As a being of Love created from Love
You are a special being and you have as much right as the next person to experience Love
No one can take that away from you.

Stand up for yourself
Step into yourself
You are perfect just the way you are
Let no one say anything contradictory to that

You control how others treat you
You can only be ill treated if you allow it to happen.
You are in charge of your life, take the reigns and accept your power.

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

Let go, release and allow the new to come in

Let go, release and make space for better and brighter to come to you.

What does this really mean? How easy is it to let go of something that you hold on to dearly with the faith and hope that things will get better, everything is going to get sorted out, I just need to hold on for a little while longer?

Special You

A unique creation
One of a kind
There can be no one else like you

Every being on earth is here for a reason
We may not have awakened to the reason why we are here
Why we are at a certain place at a certain time when something life changing happens or not

Every minute, every day is for us to experience, feel and connect
And each one of us are on our own personal journey through this
And no one is more important than the other

You are special as is everyone else
And the path you walk is your truth as it is for everyone else

Live your truth
Acknowledge and respect other beings for being on their path
For when each being walks in truth and acknowledges the other for walking in truth
Love will flow through all

And Love is all there is within and without

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the today you dreamt about yesterday.

Yesterday, today and tomorrow are all aspects of the time and space concept of the plane that we live in.  In the Divine realm it is all the same, there is no separate time or space.  Everything is always as it is  and the Divine is All That Is.

So God is in our yesterday, today and tomorrow always and in all ways.  Why spend our time regretting what we did, wishing we could change the things from the past or looking at tomorrow and worrying about what is going to happen and how we are going to deal with all the things that need to be done.

There is no point regretting the past, because you can't go back and change it, accept things as they are; learn from the experience and then keep on with your life in confidence that what you experienced was what you had to, to make you the person you are today.  And don't waste your time fretting and worrying about tomorrow; just know that God is already there taking care of everything that needs to be taken care of.

Enjoy today for what it is, a beautiful time to be in the present moment; to be grateful for all that you had and have in your life; to be thankful for being where you are and the experiences that you have; for appreciating everyone and everything around you; to see the beauty all around; to see opportunities where others may not and act on them to make a success; to live life consciously in the present moment.

For if you live well in the present, you will be able to look back at your yesterdays with happiness and look forward to your tomorrows with anticipation and excitement for what is to come.

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

Life goes on

You are happy
You are sad
You are in love
You are alone

You feel the world is a wonderful place and you have everything you could ever wish for
You are facing difficulties that you could not imagine you would ever have to go through
You have your faith that all things will work out and it will all be well

You go through life experiencing all kinds of situations and emotions
Months, years, decades, it goes on and on

You are caught up in all the euphoria that life brings you
And sometimes all you want to do is just sit back and let everything get the better of you

One thing is certain as you go through it all
You will get through this day and the next day will come
And you will look back at all the todays that you dreamt about yesterday

And through it all life goes on, it always does
It will never stop, not even when you have passed on
For from death comes new life
In a new form
And Life will go on

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

A miracle

What is a miracle?

This is one meaning I got from a dictionary:
"An extraordinary and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore attributed to a divine agency".

How, where and when do miracles happen.  Some of us can list a number of miracles that have happened in our lives, while some of us will not be able to remember any or will say that they are still waiting for a miracle to happen to them.

Why is it that for some of us miracles happen all the time and for others it does not?

I believe it is all about what and how we perceive a miracle.  We can take each moment of each day as a miracle - being thankful for every step we make, all the blessings that we have, all the situations that we experience (whatever it may be), and then we see miracles everywhere.  It can be a small thing as getting a parking space in a very crowded place, a welcome discount you got for something when you were short on finances or it can be something big that impacts our life in a positive way when we least expected it to.  And on the other side of the coin, we can keep waiting for a miracle to happen, telling everyone that you have never experienced a miracle - and that is exactly what you will experience - the waiting for a miracle to happen.

I take each moment in my life a miracle - I am so happy and grateful to be here writing this, for everything that I have experienced so far, for it has given me the awareness to be able to sit here and write.  I have experienced so many miracles, a lot of which I did not think of as a miracle when it happened.  I only realised the miracle when I looked back at the event.  I kept waiting for miracles to happen and missed out on experiencing them when they actually happened.  So now I have changed my perspective and attitude to miracles - I acknowledge that my life is full of miracles and that is exactly what I am experiencing now.

Miracles are there for everyone to experience, it does not matter who or where you are.  Just open your heart and your eyes to experiencing them and you will.

A little Love goes a long way

Love is available in abundance
It does not cost anything to share it with another
It is there for each and every being to feel and be one with It.

Every being that has not felt Love longs for it
It does not matter what their age is, where they are from or even how economically well off or not they are.

It's so easy to share Love
It's so simple to share Love
All it takes is kindness and compassion towards another being.

And the beauty of sharing Love is
That all beings benefit and experience the joy and happiness of Love.

When you act with Love, you make another being happy and loved
And at the same time, you too feel Love within you.

It's a win win situation for all involved.

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

You are complete

What are you searching for?

We are always searching for something: the perfect partner, love, a better job, a better life without difficulties and pressures, the list is endless.  We all go through life trying to fill the void that we feel within us, looking outside ourselves to fill what we feel is missing.

Your true self

Be true to yourself
You are the centre of who you are
And what you are within is what you show without
If you are not happy with who you are or suppressing who you are to please others
It will only reflect your unhappiness without
You may be able to conceal for a while
But there will be a time when you cannot anymore

You will have to face yourself
You cannot ignore your true self forever

Face yourself, know yourself
Love yourself
And that is what you will reflect out to everyone all the time

And if there are those who are unhappy with who you are
Then they are not meant to be in your life
Release them with love and move towards those who love you for who you truly are.

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

Love will heal you

There is so much love and beauty all around
We only need to open our heart to the connection
It's amazing how you feel when you are connected with nature
The love flows effortlessly
You feel light, like the burdens have been lifted
You can see with more clarity
You are open to the energy from the Universe
Spend as much time as you can in nature
She will nurture and heal you.

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light

Starting the journey

Image source: Foundation for A Better Life's facebook page

When we have a vision, a goal,
We don't just have the thought and get to the end immediately.

We go through the journey from the first thought of our vision,
To the end when we realise and achieve the goal.

The journey can be a very easy one, or one filled with successes and failures.
As we focus on our goal when we are on the journey,
We should not forget to enjoy the journey and the experiences we have along the way.

Give thanks for all the successes along the way,
And for the failures as well,
For it's the failures that help us grow and adapt ourselves to keep going till we realise our goal.

Don't get disheartened when you fail, its just a way for the Universe to show us that we may not have been on the right track,
That we just need to change lanes a little to keep us on the road to reaching our goal.

The journey is as important as the goal, and unless you decide to take the first step and try, you will never know what you can accomplish.

Enjoy the journey, accept what comes to you, receive it with love, share it freely, keep what is for you and let go of the things that don't serve you anymore.

Have a blessed day
In Love and Light
