Thursday's Thoughtful Thread - Simple Appreciation

Today's affirmation 'Gratitude is my only attitude'.  And one of the things I am most grateful for right now:

Appreciating the simple.

What are you most grateful for right now?

Wishcasting Wednesday - Making Miracles

I have to admit to being a little disappointed in the Wishcasting prompt over at Jamie Ridler's Studio today.  The prompt was...

Then I remembered my new transformed mind set and my affirmation for today 'love did not create this'.  I am enjoying finding and seeing the message from the universe.  There is something cathartic in having faith in reason, in there being a reason for everything.

Having experienced some acute depression over the past 10 or so years I have done a lot of mindful work.  I have read many self help books and I guess from this current miracles excursion I'm still reading and working.  I believe that some of this past work is helping ease my way along this miraculous path.

Of the inspirational folks I included in my treasury teachings from two in particular have remained with me, perhaps not constantly but on a continually recurring theme.  Robin Sharma introduced me to the idea of the holy hour - some me time in the morning that can be used to get some grounding and focusing on my authentic direction.  It's strange, or maybe not, but when I engage in this daily practise my days and life are so much calmer.  And Sarah Ban Breathnach's Daybook of Comfort and Joy brings a nice daily reminder on life's simplicities.  Today's message was about accepting real life and I love the quote from Natalie Goldberg "Our task is to say a holy yes to the real things of our life as they exist."  This reinforces my aim of using what I already have in my creativity this year.

I am enjoying 'May Cause Miracles'.  I am liking the way it splits the day up - perhaps I actually have a liking for routine, who knew?  And combined with my past work I am surrendering to what is to be in the knowledge that everything I want and need comes to me in the perfect way.

So, what do I wish for my home?  That it remain the calm and cosy haven that it has grown to be.

As all you lovely wishcasters out there wish for yourself

I wish for you also.

Tuesday's Treasures - Inspirations

Here are some treasures I’ve found over the years.

16 inspirational people that have shared some love with the world.

These are just 16 of my all stars - there are so many more and I continue to be amazed with how easy it is to connect with inspirational people through social media and the world wide web.

And today brings Day 2 of my work on miracles.

Today's Affirmation 

'I am willing to see this differently, I am willing to see love.'  

It is amazing how this different perspective can make the day go so much smoother. It's interesting to see the things we actually fear.  I have avoided putting together my 'big list' for some time now.  Afraid that there will be too much on it is one view another is the fear of actually starting.  But no more the list has been put together and now it's time to get working on it

.

Looking forward to some wishcasting and unveiling tomorrow.

Handmade Monday - May Cause Miracles

Today is Day1 of my journey with Gabby Bernstein's book May Cause Miracles.  It's based around her work on A Course in Miracles and promises to be a challenging adventure.  I have my affirmation for the day 'I am willing to witness my fear'.  I've already done a lot of work behind the scenes in my authentic journey and am looking forward to the outcome of this chapter.  6 weeks until......

May Cause Miracles

Part and parcel of my chosen journey is my continued development of my creativity.  This week I finally got round to making a case for my Galaxy Note.  I like that my creativity has a little 'me' time to it.  And that it gives me the opportunity to add something to Handmade Monday.

 

And I love that it has a greater good to it too.  Got my #imapiece piece ready for my MP and one for me ready to applique to my big pink cushion.

Being day one of week one this is short and sweet tomorrow will hopefully be a little more insightful. This week really does promise to be interesting.

Lets make lots of miracles

Usual Sunday BS

It's been a busy week and yet a pretty calm week - mainly due to a change in perspective thanks to Gabby Bernstein and a few other mentors out there.

So, that was the week that was -  it's been creative and inspired. 

I love the serendipity of today's Simple Abundance piece on An Acre of Diamonds and took the above quote from Sarah Ban Breathnach's day.

And so to my exciting plan for the week to come.  Still working on new products and some simple rebranding I'm most excited about my journey with Gabby Bernstein and hoping to bring about some miracles - the journey starts tomorrow.  I already have my meditation space ready.

This is a bit short and sweet, I' getting excited for the journey ahead.

Have a great week
