Daily Affirmations: I Will Not Be Deterred

February 11, 2020

With each new day, we have the opportunity to start over. The canvas is fresh and we can decide how we want to color our day and our life. We’re all here to make a difference in the world. We’re all here live our best lives. We can decide how we want our day to affect us. We can reject negativity that is thrown our way, we can decide to rise above the obstacles that impede us.

Within every wall that blocks our walk of life, there is an opening to escape what holds us in. Don’t let the walls keep you from moving forward. Find an opening and discover a different way.

Today, I affirm that I will not be deterred by negativity, obstacles or walls that keep me from living my fullest life. I have the power to move forward each and every day, and in that power rests my ability to color my world and the world around me with love and light. And so it is, I set my intent and recognize… Intent makes manifest.

Daily Affirmations: Today, I Affirm That I Will Find My Way

February 10, 2020

Sometimes the path seems so obscured. We’ve lost track of where we’re going and how to get there. It’s only natural that in life we have times that cause us to lose focus, retreat into the dilemmas and circumstances of our lives that bring us down. Sometimes we drift so low that we feel trapped in a abyss of darkness, barely able to see the light. Everything that we’ve learned becomes a distant memory, as we sort through the mire that brought us to our knees.

Even when we start to feel our strength return, and our minds clear from the fog of sadness and sometimes depression, we still struggle to get back on track. This is where we learn to walk again. This is where we learn that we can’t rush back into action. We can and must move slowly to regain our footing and find our way once again.

Today, I re-mind myself that though the path may seem obscured, and though I have been to the abyss, I am slowly moving forward into the light once more.

Today, I affirm that I will find my way. Each day as I grow stronger, the veil of mist that obscures the path, lifts a little higher, as do I. And so it is, in my trust that all things do pass, I affirm the path I am looking for will be revealed.

Food For Thought: Light and Darkness

September 7, 2016

Sunset on the Merrimack River in Amesbury, MA

Sometimes we see things so clearly and other times they are obscured in the darkness. At work in our lives there are are always forces, seen and unseen, some are in the light and some are clouded by darkness. There are shadows at play. There is light dancing delicately upon our view asking us to join it at play.  (more…)

Reflections: Affirming Direction

September 6, 2016

Summer is winding down as the first week of September has brought a preview of the colors of fall to the banks of the Merrimack River and beyond. The other evening after attending the wake of an old friend from high school, I decided to drive down to the Parker River National Wildlife Refuge as I had the camera in the car.

Before I even got to the Refuge, I was struck by the late day light on the west facing wall of the iconic Pink House on the Plum Island Turnpike. I quickly veered off the side of the road, parked my car and grabbed the camera. I took numerous shots with both a 70 – 300 mm zoom and a 10 – 24 mm wide angle (both Nikon).

The light was breathtaking. The wall was illuminated with a golden glow that mingled sweetly with the fall tones of the marsh grasses and brush around the house. As I walked back and forth along the roadside with the camera taking shots from different angles with my two lens I suddenly realized there was a Red-tailed Hawk sitting on the chimney of the house. My spirit bird had come to visit.

Always tuned to the energy of the wild creatures and other forces of nature, I was grateful for the visit of my messenger, the Red-tailed. (more…)

Daily Affirmations: Make a Difference

April 18, 2016

Today, I re-mind myself that we all can make a difference in the world if we try. And so it is that I ask this day and each day forward that I may be a conduit for good and change in the world. I set my intent to make a difference, first on the smaller scale of those in my life, and then reaching out to the wider platform of the Universe, that I might inspire and enthuse others to be of like mind. This is my mission today and every day, to make a difference. May I light up someone’s life with joy and happiness. May I bring someone peace and solace. And so it is… Intent makes manifest.

Daily Affirmations: My Happiness is Not Dependent on Anyone But Myself

April 11, 2016

Today, I re-mind myself that my happiness is not contingent nor dependent on anyone but myself. I am comfortable in my being, at home with my self, at peace in the world around me, and I am blessed with a keen understanding of what works for me, in my life. As I go about this day and each day forward, I set my intent to the deepening of my own self-reliance. In this, I ensure that I alone am responsible for my inner peace and happiness. In this, I seek to find the strength in each moment, the joy in the most fleeting of gifts, the peace in my own heart and mind. These are blessings of independence that empower me. And so it is… Intent makes manifest.
