DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF!

Mercury Retrograde is doing its ‘magic!’ Lol! My Droid phone I have had for only a couple of months refused to power on today. After all the trouble shooting, even down to trying another battery that was in good working condition, AT&T is sending me a new phone.

As I discovered the issue first thing this morning, the day began a bit ‘cock-eyed’. I began to get frustrated since I needed to confirm with a meeting first thing this morning. I didn’t have this person’s phone number written anywhere but in my Droid.

I heard the Angels whisper in my ear…”It is not the situation that defines a person or shows spiritual growth. It is how they deal with challenges in their path. Life is full of interesting issues. That is part of the duality on the earth. Stop and consider the best way to deal with this.”

I followed their advice and calmed down. I sent a FaceBook message asking for good energy sent. We are all here to support each other after all. I started looking for my old Razor phone and got frustrated for a bit trying to uncover it.

Then I paused and centered myself. Suddenly I remembered I still had my old HTC Tilt 2 phone. Even though it dropped calls a lot, it was usable.

Immediately I asked the angels where it was and they quickly showed it to me. I changed SIM cards, made my call and continued my day. The new phone is on its way and life is good.

The angels just showed me again, “Don’t sweat the small stuff. And everything is the small stuff!”

OPTIMISTS CREED

My friend, Lesley Williams shared this with me today. It is worth repeating. Thank you Lesley!

Just start by concentrating on 1 of these 12 affirmations.Watch as your life begins to change!




The Optimist’s Creed by Christian D. Larson

I promise myself

  • To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.
  • To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet.
  • To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.
  • To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.
  • To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
  • To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
  • To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
  • To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.
  • To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.
  • To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
  • To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds.
  • To live in the faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.

TWO MINUTE MEDITATION

Everyone has a busy schedule and during the Holidays it may seem that there is no time to wind down or to take for your spiritual growth. I hear people say, “I just don’t have 30 minutes a day to meditate!” So they continue on their mad dash of life and forgo drinking from the spiritual water of life.

Consider trying this: Invoke the Pyramid of Protection around you with a simple breath in and out focusing on it. Then sit still for two minutes. During that time allow the Love of the Divine to pulse throughout your body entering through the top of your head.

Tune into the pulsing rhythm as it courses through you, filling you with peace, balance, healing, relaxation or energy. Whatever you need most will be given to you. It is a gift freely given with no expectations demanded in return. Accept it with gratefulness.

When two minutes is up (or it may feel so good you will take more than that!) take a deep breath. As you breathe slowly out feel your pyramid being strengthened around you.

You will feel more balanced if you will take these two minutes once a day throughout the next month. Then you will discover you have incorporated meditations into your daily life!

ICING ON THE CAKE OF LIFE

Today I went for a long walk with a particular destination in mind. I enjoyed being in the space of the moment as I walked. The scurrying bodies of lizards made the sidewalk come alive, as their lithe bodies blended with the leaves. The breeze was fresh and cool, wafting across me, kissing the skin on my arms and shoulders. I drank in the beauty of the trees and flowers as I passed by.

A couple of times I paused and looked ahead to my destination. The first time, it appeared very distant. When I walked with my focus on it, I felt that I was not moving fast at all. It seemed as if I would never reach it.

Then when I shifted my focus to that of my immediate surroundings… when I again allowed myself to get lost in the beauty around me, time had no meaning. I found myself caught up in the joy of being in the time of now.

The next time I focused on my destination, I saw I had almost reached that elusive place. Instead of being caught up in hurrying to get to my destination, I had been able to enjoy a wonderful walk soaking up beautiful scenery and still accomplish my goal.

To me, that is ‘icing on the cake of life!’ And I love my icing! Everyone deserves it…what will you find to be your icing today?

COMMUNICATION

Three more days of harmonious creating positive energy in our lives, then we get to slow down and work on our communication skills. People stress over Mercury Retrograde that is coming up from the 24th-Dec 13th.

Try thinking about it this way instead. This is a time to fine tune our communications. Think before you speak or write something to someone. Don’t assume someone understands what you said in the way you meant it. Also, don’t assume your friend got your email, text or phone message. Double check on everything.

Often we just fly through life doing our thing and not taking time to think about how our words come across to another person. This is a good time to put yourself in their shoes. Feel their feelings as they listen to the words you have to say…do this before speaking the words. You may find you need to change your words…or perhaps they may not be necessary at all!

Here is a great guide. Don’t say anything unless it can go through these three checks. Is it true? Is it necessary to say? Is it kind? If what you have to say has a no answer to any one of these three…then, don’t say it.

Anael is a great orator and ally. Ask her energy to come through you before you communicate, especially in Mercury Retrograde. If you stay in her energy, you will find yourself speaking with the words of the angels!
