Daily Affirmations: Optimism

October 17, 2014

“There are times, when the weight of problems are so heavy in our lives that it is difficult to stay focused and positive. In those times, I re-mind myself how important it is to practice optimism throughout my day. Each time I find myself feeling weighted down with problems, I affirm to myself that there is no room for negative thought or negative actions in my life today, tomorrow, or any day, from this day forward. Instead, I look to the positive outcomes of all of the problems in my life, noting that positive thought brings about positive outcome.” – Pamela J. Leavey

Daily Affirmations: Change

October 15, 2014

Change is inevitable. We see it all around us every day in every aspect of our lives and the lives of everyone we know. We see change at work, we see change in nature, we see change so constantly that sometimes we miss the subtle nuances that bring change forward. Some of us have the desire to be part of the change, to make a difference in the world by helping to facilitate change. To make a change in the world we must often change our own thoughts and actions so that we align with the change desired. To be catalyst for change, we must be willing to change our own selves, listen to others and commit to making a difference in the world.

Namaste… Pamela

“From the very core of our being we desire contentment. For harmony each individual’s identity must be respected.” – The Dalai Lama

Today, I re-mind myself that my contentment is not contingent on others in my life and the world. And, I reaffirm my commitment to acceptance of all people who touch my life.

Namaste… Pamela

Reflections: A Branch to Hold Me

August 5, 2014

I am a typically upbeat person who believes that happiness is a choice. However, sometimes the weight of life drags me down, just as it does everyone. In those times I have a tendency to long for something more in my life–a shoulder to lean on, a branch to hold me.

Like the dogwood, getting its strength from the limbs of the tree, we all subsist and draw strength from the branches and stems that hold us up in life. I’ve been a flower without benefit of that which holds me up for a very long time. Still I blossom and grow. Yet, there is that knowledge deep inside of my soul that recognizes that this flower is still like every other flower that flourishes best when there is sustenance not only within but without as well.

Reflections: Gratitude for Life

Every flower is the perfect reflection of petals of life that unfold on our journey. Nature holds so many lessons for the enquiring mind as we move through our lives. As we take time to appreciate nature, we are in fact taking time to appreciate ourselves and give up our striving, even for a short time, in effort to be one with all of the abundance around us. To walk in nature is to walk in gratitude for life.

Food For Thought: I Am Abundant

When the flower are in bloom we see it as abundance, for it is rich and full of life. Our own abundance blossoms, blooms and wanes like a flower, for that is the cycle of life playing out continually as we walk our path.

In those times when the flowers have gone dormant, and abundance seems a distant memory, I summon my gratitude for all that I do have and I re-mind myself, “I am abundant, I have love… I am abundant, I have money.” Gratitude is the food for thought that gives substance and sustenance to our abundance. To recognize that and give thanks for all that we have, is a powerful statement of acceptance that opens the door to the blessings of the Universe for the creation of all that we need.
