The Art of Self-Love

Self-love and conceit are not the same thing. 

Self-love is a genuine appreciation of your human body, your talents and skills and the opportunities for learning that you've taken advantage of so far. 

Conceit is about competition and fear of scarcity. 

When you love yourself, you recognize those around you as family and see them as equals. You know that there will always be enough and that you are a Beloved Child of the Divine.

The Angels honor the Divine in all things. That is why they are always around and always available to help if you call.

If you loved yourself, as the Divine and the Angels love you, you would never fear anything ever again.

 

Count Your Blessings and Watch Them Grow!

There is magic in this world, if you but have eyes to see!

Instead of looking off to far horizons or greener grass, look at what is beneath your own feet and in the palm of your hand. Fill yourself with wonder at the many gifts that are given to you: life, love, the beauty of trees and flowers and fresh air. 

When you do this, things like, enough food to eat, a job, a car and free time become extravagant luxuries which fill you with joy.

Do this and you will always feel blessed beyond belief!

Angelic Endings

When you cry because of a closed door, you may blind yourself to the beautiful gateway the angels have opened for you.

Sometimes the angels help you to release something  you have been holding tightly to. It might be a relationship, a job or a physical object. 

When you ask for help, the angels will always answer. Sometimes it seems as though they are taking from you when they are actually emptying you arms of a burden they carry so that you are free to embrace the new and amazing things they are bringing your way.

HONORING THE FLOW

I did a quick run into Aldis yesterday to pick up some oranges. You know how it goes, though. You always end up with more groceries than planned…but it is Aldis, so all is well!

No matter that I had a quarter in my van (for Aldi purposes and my cloth bag) I forgot them both! As I approached the carts, I decided I had better dig out the quarter in my purse and get a cart. Digging a quarter out of my purse can be a daunting task! Lol!

I looked at the cart next in line and saw it already had a quarter in it! I thanked the Universe that I didn’t have to rummage my purse and took the cart.

I got enough groceries that made it necessary for me to push the cart to my van. When I took my cart back, I could have taken the quarter out and been a quarter richer. Chocolates at Café Unique are a quarter each right now, so it would buy something!

However, I reflected on the natural flow of the Universe. This wasn’t really a case of paying it forward, but of honoring the flow. My friend and mentor, Andrea deMichaelis of Horizons Magazine shared the following mantra with me: “My cash flow is never ending, Twice as much as I am spending.”

The emphasis to me is the FLOW…allowing the flow of finances to come to you and then share them back out with others.

So I honored the Flow of the Universe and let the quarter stay in the river of Abundance for All! (One less chocolate won’t hurt me. Lol!) It is the principle that matters, not the amount of money considered here.

When I got home and got my mail, I had a check for a phone reading I had scheduled to do. Then when I went to buy chairs for my new classroom, the guy took $20 less than he had originally said.

These were nice confirmations of rewards of Honoring the Flow!
