Remaining Calm

I take my first deep breath of calm and remember that there is room for good for everyone.

I take my second deep breath of calm and remember that everyone I know sees that there is room for good for everyone.

I take my third deep breath of calm and remember that everyone I don’t even know, all over the planet, sees that there is room for good for everyone.

———

As I watch the heightening frenzy, I feel the deep calm within.

I know that the ability to emotionalize seems very powerful indeed.

It is a kind of drunkenness, an addiction.

Those who respond to the addiction are losing command of themselves and their best interests, as in all cases of substance abuse.

We can continue holding the ground, not only for ourselves, but even for those who are vulnerable to this addiction.

It feels as though the perpetrators of the addiction, the “dealers”, are very powerful, indeed.

However, there is a deeper, more powerful influence than emotional addiction.

It is the calm security of the truth.

No matter what temporary highs are being handed out, over a much longer term, the calm truth will come to light and take its rightful place.

Hopefully, there is enough awareness now to counter the emotional addiction and other fraud being released.

As I take my deep breaths of calm, I feel the power of being in the right place at the right time.

Let us commit over and over to taking the action that our awareness tells us is good for everyone.

Let’s give respect, and upliftment and empowerment to everyone who holds good in their heart and in their vote for all members of our community.

Organizing Peace

I am experiencing a new kind of peace through organizing my affairs.

I have recently enjoyed the peace of having everything ready when I go into creative mode.

I am organizing my projects differently now, as I switch into a priority order.

In weighing each project, I am sifting through what makes my work unique.

Do I need to create something organized by someone else, or am I ready to concentrate fully on my own work?

It is an interesting paring away of many things which I love to do.

I am making room for what I love to do best.

I am preparing to concentrate my efforts in ways which will benefit me most, along with my outreach to others.

Resources are pouring in, as they do when the focus is precise.

Step-by-step access to presentation outlets are being revealed.

Although I find myself resisting, when I apply my priority order, each situation resolves itself.

I feel the certainty of fulfillment as I gain focus and concentration.

I feel the peace of that certainty.

I am able to be all-inclusive, from project creation to release, with this new peaceful sense of priority order.

Legitimate Fear

A legitimate fear is not a panic attack.

When you can see the pattern’s negative evolution, you do not have to follow it, nor endure it.

When you are around someone in such a deep conviction of despair that there is continual self-sabotage, your need is to lift yourself up and out.

As a child, you may develop coping skills.

Later, you will be compelled to find healing in order to thrive.

Even a nation can be affected by the people who intentionally spread fear.

This is the time to look within and to listen for what you know is true.

You can combat much of the fear by noticing the difference between the lies and the truth.

Then you can direct your own life accordingly and build on what you know to be true.

If it looks like the lies and fear are becoming overwhelming, listen within once again, and below all the fear, you will find guidance and direction.

You may be guided to take action in a particular way.

You will be able to maintain your own safety and that of others as you continue to listen for guidance and to take action.

There are infinite resources within to keep you safe.

Depend on these instead of the fear which is being spread.

Take simple or radical action when and how you are guided.

You will defeat your fear and contribute to the establishment of an overall feeling and practice of well-being.

Living and Thriving

When something takes longer, even much longer than you expect, it is not because it is being delayed.

It is because you are being required to build a really strong foundation.

All the things you need to take the next step have been being built while you were living and developing your life.

Until everything is in place for thriving, it is impossible to move freely.

You also cannot force nor delay a move that is happening on the Universe’s timetable.

You will find yourself caught up in ideas and actions which you did not direct.

Things will resolve themselves in ways which you did not anticipate.

You will be lifted into your highest dreams.

You will find that you are living a life of purpose.

Connections will occur which are outside your field of reference.

You will release many precious things in your present life in order to move higher.

Your sense of sacrifice will allow you to let go in order to serve a higher purpose.

Your ambition will focus in the direction of your intuition.

You will allow yourself to be led.

Even what is beautiful in your present life must go as you rise into a higher sense of your being.

You will willingly take the next steps with a clear sense of direction.

You will let your Higher Power fulfill your life.

Working in Good Company

One of the things I enjoy the most is working on projects in the company of good friends.

The conversation is supportive and helpful.

We enjoy noting the progress on each of our projects.

There is a comfort of feeling the same about our work.

Although we are different ages, we have the same feeling about what we are making.

Each of us has evolved our work from something we love.

It may be something for ourselves or something for someone else, but it is something which satisfies us to do.

We work with our hands, with color, with design.

Some of us are very precise.

Some of us are very creative.

Some of us are working in a new direction.

There is always support, always knowledge, always help.

Generous attitudes lead the day.

It is something being so close in mind and in emotion.

We are cut from the same cloth.

It is a love for what we do and for each other which creates the balance.

It is good to work in company like this.

Follow-Through

Following through on one dream leads you to others.

Even if the first dream did not work out, all your effort and investment is building a foundation for the next dream.

When you enter into the realm of dream-making, you are creating a contract between yourself and the Universe.

You bring to the contract your resources, your imagination, your passion, your desire.

The Universe meets it with Its greater resources, the development of your dream into a possible reality.

Even if your original dream did not come into being the way you expected, your investment into the realm of imagining what could be gives you a different kind of currency.

When you follow through by investing your planning and purchase of materials, land, renting a space, opening a booth, your action and sincerity are creating a different kind of world.

As you spend time in that world, your deepest desires begin to take form even though you cannot see them yet.

At the right time, when all the elements have come together, the most appropriate version of your dream will manifest itself.

Your habit of taking action, devoting resources and planning to your dream-realm, combines with the Universe’s resources to make your dream a present reality.

Then things move really fast.

You are empowered to take all the next steps in an efficient and fulfilling way.

You can see your dream approaching as you intersect it at the right time with all the right resources.

Trust your dreams.

You are creating at the first step of a beautiful reality.

Stepping Stones

When starting on a new adventure, it is good to have your foot on one stepping stone as you reach for the next step.

That way, it doesn’t feel like you are stepping into thin air.

As I pack up and donate the contents of my house, I feel as though I am on solid ground while preparing for the next step.

I feel good as I lighten my load of possessions.

I feel the promise of newness and fresh views.

The temptation to feel insecure is met by remembering why I am making the change.

It is wonderful to be in the process of following through on a dream.

In my past travels, there were always solutions to whatever was required.

There were wonderful new experiences just in dealing with everyday life.

I always love opportunities to meet new people.

Each location has its own rhythm.

Landscapes, food, transportation, cityscapes, new language sounds, learning to integrate into a new language.

These are some of the ways new experiences take shape.

Moving into the new rhythms takes some time.

Each little bit of language makes it easier.

Each time a route is walked, the new rhythm is established a little better.

Each one is a stepping stone to the next.

After a while, a new platform is built.

The new platform keeps expanding with every new experience.

More communication and understanding results.

The world grows a little more accessible.

There are new friends everywhere.

This is what I look forward to as I move from one stepping stone to the next.

What is Planted in My Garden

In my garden, I have planted annuals and perennials.

I have plants which will grow in sun and in shade.

I have flowering shrubs and berry bushes.

I have heirlooms and rarities.

Everything that is growing in my garden has the best conditions, soil and location, that I can provide.

I keep it watered and I add nutrients through composting.

I keep it weed free through mulching.

In the garden of my mind, I have annuals and perennials.

I have memories which I cultivate.

I have new events which I participate in and evaluate.

I give my ideas the best conditions in which to prosper.

I eliminate obstacles to action and enjoy my accomplishments.

Through my thoughts and actions, I create the best atmosphere for myself and my community.

I want everyone to have the best conditions possible through utilizing all the community’s resources to live well.

Our community is only as beautiful as the conditions we create for everyone, just like our gardens.

Release Through Releasing

As I move on into a new venture (or adventure), I am tempted by the lure of my possessions.

I am learning to let this process of releasing be easy.

It is the most natural thing to release what we no longer need when we move onward.

I realize the joy I experienced as I gathered materials for fun projects, many (lots) of which I did not complete.

What I can keep is the joy, and I can release the materials.

All I need is what currently part of my development.

I can release everything else.

This is streamlining my process while allowing me to be very grateful.

I am finding many opportunities to give, a very freeing experience.

Instead of being overwhelmed, I can celebrate both receiving abundantly and sharing generously.

I can sense my own clarity in this new stage of my life.

There is deep calm along with it.

I am enjoying the sense of certainty and security even as I step out into something completely new.

There is an efficiency of effort which is developing.

All the long years of spiritual study and learning new skills are producing this sense of release and adventure.

What a delightful way to approach new possibilities!

Finding Balance During Change

Although it is satisfying to establish routines, sometimes it is necessary to make changes.

When those times come, it is possible to find balance through keeping your priorities in mind.

As I have been preparing for change, I have found it unsettling to go through my possessions, even though I don’t need so many of them any more.

Apparently, my possessions have set up some kind of attachment.

Even though I feel led to release them, some part of me finds itself clinging to them.

I persist in my clearing because I am happy with my decision to live lighter.

Later, realize that I am making room for something more fun and beneficial.

I regain my balance.

I am able to release so much and to give it away where it can serve its purpose in another setting.

I love the space I am creating in my life for more freedom.

I am finding new balance and clarity as my new priorities are given their place.

My new role is not so familiar, but I am committed to it.

I can feel the balance shifting as I continue in my new direction.

I embrace more happiness.

My experience is expanding.

I am able to include new possibilities that I was never able to see before.

I can see myself in new situations.

My balance is shifting from what I have accumulated in possessions and experiences to living in the moment.

It is a new point of balance and I like learning it.
