Food for Thought: Life as a Process of Following a Path

February 21, 2020

I look at life as a process of following a path. The path isn’t always direct. Sometimes it is straight and you are moving along in life thinking, “yeah, this is good.” And then one day the path takes a turn. You’re good with that turn, great, keep moving. Maybe the turn doesn’t feel right. Maybe you need to sit and think about whether you want to go in the new direction or turn back. It’s still a forward motion in life if you follow the turn. Turning back might not be beneficial, because life is all about moving forward and evolving as our best selves.

Daily Affirmations: Little Miracles Happen

This week I received a little miracle in the form of some magic money. It wasn’t money I expected to ever see. But then it arrived. That little miracle made me feel very grateful. In life, I believe it is the little miracles that happen that lift us up and give us strength each day. Sometimes we don’t even recognize the little miracles when they are happening to us. But, trust me, they happen to everyone.

Today, I affirm that little miracles do happen. I open my heart and mind to the possibility of those miracles happening, and I also tune my ears to hear and my eyes to see those little miracles as they happen. I am open to receive, and I am open to believe that little miracles change our lives. And so it is, intent makes manifest.

Reflection: Who Am I and Why Am I Here

February 20, 2020

Who am I and why am I here? Let me fill you in on what I am up to… I’ve been working on my website for a couple of months now. It had fallen by the wayside while I was in school for six and half years. A month ago, I had written here that I was working on “getting back on track with my writing.” I have to say, it feels good to be back at it. One of the focuses I have had in the past two weeks now is to get back on track with writing Daily Affirmations.

I’ve been sharing other writers affirmations and then writing my own Daily Affirmations online now for over 20 years. I initially started sharing affirmations online daily on my first business website, the now defunct AromatherapyGoddess.com. The business was a new age aromatherapy and bath & body business. I made my own products and built my website and taught myself to self-market my products online reading everything I could about how to market products online. One of the common themes was that the more content you had online the more traffic you would receive and the longer you would keep someone on your website. That still holds today.

Daily Affirmations: Making a Difference in the World

We’re all here on this planet to make a difference in the world. We may not feel as though we are, but truly it is the little things that make a difference. Being kind to someone. Giving someone a hug. Letting people know that you love them and you are there for them. It is all these things and more that start us on the path to making a difference in the world. I’ve found in my own life when I reach out to help others, I benefit as well, for it truly is a gift to ourselves to be kind to someone or help someone in need.

Today, I affirm that I am here on this planet to make a difference in the world. I will reach out to my loved ones. I will strike up a conversation with a stranger and tell them to have an awesome day. I will help someone in need. And so it is that in work this and every day to make the world a better place, that intent makes manifest.

Daily Affirmations: I Have Love in My Heart

February 19, 2020

I woke this morning and sat up in bed and I smiled. I felt ready to take on the day and make it be an awesome day, because I woke with love in my heart. It’s been a while since I woke feeling that life is good because my life has been on a rather uneven keel for quite some time. But things have been shift. The keel is stabilizing and so am I. It’s taken a lot of inner work to get here. But recognizing the love I have in my life has brought me back to center.

Today, I affirm that I have love in my heart and love in my life. I am happy. I am abundant. I re-mind myself that love is all there is. And so it is that I set forth on this day and every day to share my love with all. And so it is… Intent makes manifest.

Daily Affirmations: Breathe Out Our Troubles

February 18, 2020

Life can often make us feel overwhelmed. In today’s world, we’re worried not just about our own problems but also the troubles of the world. It’s tough navigating everything and feeling like we’re on top of it all every day. Sometimes, we need to sit back and take a deep breath and exhale. And then take another one and exhale. Breath in and release. It feels so good to breath out our troubles and release them to the Universe.

Today I affirm that I can not solve all of my problems or the problems of the world in this moment. I take a deep breath and exhale and repeat. I imagine the waves at the beach, coming in slowly and then drawing back and I allow myself to simply be in the moment. I re-mind myself, that there is only now, in this moment and I am powerless and at peace right now. And so it is, intent makes manifest.
