Reclaiming My Fortune

I had the feeling yesterday that I was reclaiming my fortune.

I have been studying the ideas of prosperity and abundance and getting a deep sense of well-being throughout every aspect of my life.

I have switched to doing what I love to do.

I have found amazing friends who are committed to the same kinds of things I am and who value community.

I am living in beautiful surroundings.

I am receiving coaching in mindfulness.

In short, I have removed all of the things I found disturbing about my life.

As I was going through my meditation writings and drawings to prepare an order for the printer, I realized that I am translating my sense of prosperity and abundance into another form of manifestation.

This is a natural, although unplanned step, at least by me.

I am letting Universe take over the “how” of getting things done, while I focus on what I love and sharing it.

I am even releasing myself from some duties which do not let me operate at my highest level.

I no longer try to do everything, just the things which are unique to me and that I love.

This is giving me balance and a lot more forward motion.

It is leading me toward reclaiming my fortune.

We Prefer Integrity

Integrity helps us keep our balance.

We know we will be pushed around, nor will we suffer for genuine interest when integrity is the basis for our business.

Relationships built on integrity are long-lasting.

Integrity is the foundation for good business dealings.

We stand on solid ground when we make our offers with integrity.

We know we can come through with integrity.

We can trust wth integrity.

We have a basis for future growth when we start with integrity.

We can add more to the situation when we start with integrity.

Integrity uplifts us and all with whom we have dealings.

We can relax because we know we have a good thing.

We also remain eternally vigilant to insure the purity and integrity of everything in our lives.

The strength of purity and integrity in our lives carries us beyond our daily business dealings and into the realm of trust and happiness.

Integrity is one of the best qualities we can cultivate.

Choosing Chatter, Choosing Quiet

I knew that I could choose to listen to the chatter going on around me on the media, but I decided to involve myself in the quiet.

I am taking time to notice details in botanical photography from a site I really enjoy.

(https://portraitsofwildflowers.wordpress.com/2017/12/29/claspleaf-twistedstalk/)

I continued adding to the warp I am creating on my weaving loom.

I mixed the ingredients I had gathered on my kitchen counter to make almond meal fruit and nut bread.

I have gathered my drawing materials together for a series of cards I am designing.

I am being more consistent about putting compost into a bucket by the back door.

There are many ways to engage in quiet and orderly activities and not to be rushed and pushed.

To follow a routine mindfully is a way to choose quiet.

There are no new decisions to be made.

One is free to listen while moving gently and purposefully.

I can maintain my balance and poise.

I can begin my day in the way I wish to maintain it.

I can continue swimming quietly in an ocean of political and economic upheaval by choosing the option of maintaining my peace.

What My Happiness Depends On

My happiness depends on the images of thought which I cultivate daily and hourly and in every moment.

When I let my imagery fail, I fail to be happy.

It is worth the extra work of turning towards uplifting thoughts and internalizing them, and then letting them externalize in my life.

Despite the horrifying examples of public so-called leaders, (not someone to be following!), I have a higher image of what can be accomplished.

I have a higher image of the value of each one of us.

I have a higher image of the ways in which we can employ ourselves to continue to be uplifting forces in our own country.

I have a higher image of the beautiful and precious children in our country and of their unlimited potential.

Surely we can find ways of bringing out our own higher values and practice them despite the short-sited governmental policies.

Greed is not a force compared to kindness.

Selfish is not a force compared to generosity.

Policy is not a force compared to citizen’s healthy self-interest.

We can all live in such ways as to continue our own uplifting courses of action and be led from our higher nature.

This is what our happiness and well-being depend on.
