“You are the one to witness great changes in the world. The world is hurting and the world is at its best. The world is on a way of destruction and a world of pain.  The world is meant to suffer no more. It is meant to be a vehicle of hope for all.  Love is breaking barriers to what is possible. 

 Let go of the fear there is no fear in healing.  The healing begins with a breakdown in its structure before it can heal the wounds of itself. Many will witness the change in what will happen next and that will be a way of peace among nations.  The nations are at their worst and at the same time at their best. 

 Healing will bring the people together and the governments and leaders will have to listen to all those who work for peace and fairness among men. This is the nation among nations helping and supporting each other to a better world of tomorrow.  The right time will come in building and breaking down the walls of tomorrow’s leaders. Rebuilding a better tomorrow of the people in place of the heart ache and pain of the people. 

 Let your heart sing and believe the words. You will witness big changes that will benefit the nations.  The hearts are ready for change hope and dreams to take place for themselves and their children of tomorrows.  There are so many beginnings and so many endings to the story of destruction but there is only one god and only one way that will make it possible for the world to mend. That is bringing the heart of the people back to tomorrows dreams and what is possible to create if you are ready and worthy of that change. 

Love is the only real thing you can count on. Love is unending love sees no pain. Love only creates what is imagined and what is real. Let it be so. ” Thor

I arrived at the lake to prepare for some friends to arrive for a couple days of fun.  It was raining and overcast skies.  Not a perfect setting for a bonfire and time at the lake but was assured that all would be perfect.

As my friends arrived we noticed two beautiful pelicans sitting right in front of the cabin on the lake.  I had never seen that before.  Then they explained that they had seen pelicans as they were driving to the lake.  They were beautiful, peaceful and serene.  What a message for us, for all of us to live our life in peace and serenity.

As time went by we saw a third pelican, then a fourth.  I couldn’t believe it!  Why were they suddenly here?  They had never been here for 11 years.  Even more intriguing….they were all right in front of our cabin.  They had the whole lake.

As we pondered this, we wondered if this was a message from the universe for us.  No one seemed to know.  What is the symbolism in a pelican.  So true to our lives in 2010, we fired up the computer to search for a meaning of pelicans.

Pelicans:  Abundance and plenty!!

We were astonished…..the four of us met and came together through a prosperity program. 

We were learning and understanding the infinite abundance of the universe.  That all is provided for us all the time.  It is only us that stops the flow of goodness to us.  We block the flow of abundance in whatever form (money, relationships, career, etc.) by our limited beliefs, our past, our fears and resisting what is, right now.  We all were born connected to this infinite abundance.

Our journey here on earth is about finding and remembering our home……our inheritance.

Thank you God for the beautiful, powerful message!

You may find the process of journaling helps you recognize areas in your life that you can feel good about and areas that you want to change.

Find a quiet, comfortable spot to do your writing. Spend as much time writing as you want. You can write several pages, a couple of lines or even just one word to express how you feel or what you are thinking.  Understand what’s important in your life:

Make a list of what is important to you, such as your goals, dreams and what you hope for in the future.
• You could have a short-term list related to the next few days or weeks and a long-term list related to the next month or year.
• You can decide what is most important to you on the list and try to accomplish those things first.

Create a plan of action:
• From the list you have created, pick at least one or two of the short-term items and make a plan of action for how you can accomplish them. For example, you might have on your list something related to wanting to enjoy life more.
• The plan of action might be that you would do at least one thing each day that brings you joy. This could be sitting quietly while enjoying a cup of tea, going for a walk in the park, playing a musical instrument or soaking in the bathtub.
• Also, you can pick one or two long-term items. For example you might want to learn more about a specific topic.
• The plan of action could be to get a class brochure for a local community college or to look for courses online.

It is said that we draw to us the conditions we are predominantly
thinking about. In what has become a classic, author Earl
Nightingale refers to what he calls “The Strangest Secret,” which
is: “We become what we think about.”

He goes on to say that it’s not really a secret at all because it
has been repeated throughout the ages in different ways. In the
book of Proverbs we read, “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.”
Among many references to this “secret” Jesus said, “According to
your faith, be it done unto you” and “As you sow, so shall you
reap” and “Ask and it shall be given you; seek and you shall find;
knock and it shall be opened unto you.”

All of these identify the importance of the thoughts that occupy
our minds and what we focus upon. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale said,
very directly, “If you think in negative terms, you will get
negative results. If you think in positive terms you will get
positive results.”

Our ills may be described as outward and visible signs of inward
and spiritual distress. To break out of the limiting thoughts and
attitudes, one must be willing to stop dealing with the physical
disorder as a thing in itself. An important principle, often
difficult to understand, is that health does not come and go,
health simply is.

Charles Fillmore, co-founder of the Unity movement, said that “real
health is from within and does not have to be manufactured on the
without. Health is the normal condition of man, true to the reality
of his being. Man has a built-in capacity for wholeness and a
tendency toward life and health.”

Let me remind you of a story in the scriptures that you are most
likely familiar with, one which illustrates the principle we are
discussing. In ancient Jerusalem there was a sheep pool which was
said to have astounding qualities. It was thought that from time to
time an angel “stirred the waters” of the pool and whoever immersed
themselves in the water during that time was healed of disease or
infirmity.

There was a man who had been crippled for thirty-eight years who
lay by the pool. Jesus must have sensed some readiness within the
man for he asked him, “Do you want to be healed?” You might
remember that the man “copped out” with the excuse that there was
no one to put him into the pool and others always got in before
him. Jesus looked beyond the man’s excuse and the appearance of his
condition and said, simply, “Rise, take up your bed and walk!” The
man did as he was bid and walked.

The man had apparently been ready; although frustrated by something
in his consciousness that had him focusing on the problem and the
circumstances around him, the healing process was already at work.

Health comes from within out. Jesus helped people draw upon the
innate power and wisdom within them, which they could use in
transforming the quality of life. It’s significant that he always
gave them something to do, which when it was done rendered them
whole.

This man at Bethesda had been involved in his illness over a long
period of time. You might say that illness was his “bag,” that it
was the way he saw himself, as a victim of circumstances. Jesus
helped him focus upon what he really wanted for himself, which was
to walk again.

We sometimes just get trapped in the “bag” of illness. This is what
has produced our state of consciousness. The healing process is to
get out of the shadows into the light.  As we read in Isaiah 58:08,
“Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing
shall spring up speedily.”

Healing is primarily a matter of changing the states of
consciousness, and in so doing change the manifestations, or the
symptoms. Our health or lack of it is often a part of our life
story that we have created and developed over the years.

In praying for health, you engage the creative process that lives
and moves and has its being in you. In this way you begin to move
toward the health you want for yourself, creating a new life-story
in which you begin to know yourself as a healthy person.

You must keep your mind on health at all times. You must think in
terms of health even when the disease is not yet conquered. Your
success depends entirely on your letting the thought of health
predominate over your former belief in disease. You must think of
God as a force in your life that “thinks” health in and through
you. Your own conscious mind in a way ceases to think and argue
about the matter. The thought of God prevails in your mind to the
exclusion of all else.

In beginning anew, in taking a new hold on life and health, do you
see that you are doing something in the way of retracing your
steps, in creating a new life-story for yourself? You turn back
from thinking of disease and holding for yourself the thought of
disease. You stop focusing on the “problem” and begin to focus on
what you really want.

The truth that God “thinks” of you as whole and well, that God sees
you as perfect and entire, becomes so powerful in your mind that
you feel you can do nothing else than accept it.

If you feel the need of some prayer or statement upon which to
center your attention as a means by which to enter spiritual
consciousness, a good statement might be:

“From all belief in disease I turn to the presence of God, the
presence of my abiding health.”

You can readily see that if you grasp the truth of this thought you
have health. You cannot grasp its meaning and at the same time
believe in disease. You might also adapt the words of Paul, “Do you
not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in
you?” (I Cor. 3:16) in this way:

“My body is the temple of the living God, filled with God’s
presence of life, strength and health.”

Making a new beginning in health may call for your reconstructing
your whole outlook upon life. Truth is to be applied to every phase
of your physical life, to every organ and function of your body.
There must be no part of your body or your mind where you do not
consciously know that God exists. Prayer is your means of assuring
yourself of this.

By prayer you keep out of mind such adverse beliefs as would keep
you from knowing your highest good.

There is one principle to be remembered in praying for health. You
must pray in the thought that in the presence of God is the actual
presence of your health. You can fashion your prayer to make this
clear to your consciousness in whatever way prayer can best be
understood.

Remember at all times that in praying for health only results
count, not obligation to some routine or plan of prayer. What
result do you want to create? A teacher, writer, or healer may be
able to direct your steps Godward, he or she may give you such
directions as will make your own way easier, but he or she cannot
make the final step for you or chart it for you.

Whoever you are, wherever you may be, whatever your need, you stand
in the place of vantage. In God’s sight you have always been, are
now, and always will be whole, well, perfect, entire. Your health
and perfection are the most natural and most normal thing in your
life.

Turn your eyes at this moment to that inner presence of God within
you where you are seen as whole and well. Remain true to God’s
vision of what you are in Spirit and in Truth, the truth of your
own innate health and perfection.

God is Blessing You, Right Now!

Remember that friendship is a wise investment,
Life’s treasures are people…together.

Have health and hope and happiness,
Take the time to wish on a star.
And don’t ever forget for even a day…
How very special YOU are!

This was one of my most profound lessons as a cancer survivor.

Yet the core of our being, our soul, is LOVE!

We lose ourselves in this thing we call life. We forget who we are and what we came here for. We begin to believe we are all these experiences we are having. Through our experiences, we form beliefs and then we live out these beliefs over and over.

But we are not our thoughts, beliefs, and experiences. They exist outside of us.

We have a choice every moment to love and accept ourselves and create the life we choose. So many of us spend our time hoping, wishing, planning and scheming for our lives to be different than what they already are. We have used so much energy and time trying to create situations other than the one that we have, and end up missing the life in front our noses today.

It is absolutely necessary to love our life and ourselves exactly as they are right now. Loving whatever is present in your life today is one of the greatest secrets to manifesting more love and abundance in your life. Be grateful for now and everything in now.

Reconnecting to my heart, I began to see ME again, and remember ME. I peeled away layers of thoughts, beliefs and experiences I accumulated through my life. I saw at my core I was love. But did I really love ME? Until I loved and accepted me completely, I knew I could never truly love another, and I knew I could never truly be well and alive and a cancer survivor.

When you connect to your heart and live from the inside out, you will see you are so much more than you can even imagine. Because at your core you are love itself.

The more you love and accept yourself exactly as you are, the more love you get from others, and the more loving, empowering, and abundant experiences you will have. Loving yourself is the greatest way to improve yourself, and as you improve, you improve your world.

“I accept, approve, appreciate and love, myself exactly as I am.”
You are love, and you are powerful beyond belief.
Live Your Greatness!

Love is hard to know until we experience it in the depths of our being.  Love is known when we know ourselves again. 

This is how the dictionary defines love.

“Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection and attachment. The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure to intense interpersonal attraction.”

It points us to the feelings and emotions we experience once we discover our spirit.  Words used to describe love fall short.  I don’t believe we have human words to describe the all-knowing and infinite.

“Once we master the ability to slow down thought and support stillness within our day to day, then love will reveal itself within a deep feeling and knowing that love is all that you are.” Genie O’Malley

Through my journey, the wisdom I was given is profound.  I realized I cannot truly heal until I love myself unconditionally.

Love is the first step to everything in life.  That is the foundation of everything we create and get in our lives.  Too bad that isn’t the first subject taught in kindergarten, before the ABC’s.

I heard those words of wisdom flying home from Houston.  I heard and wrote the words.  To be whole, I had to heal body, mind emotions and spirit.  But that was at the beginning of this journey.  I had no idea what that meant.  I had no idea where that profound wisdom was going to take me for 14 years.

It really seems all so simple.  Why do we make it so hard? 

Because we are human!
