Time to turn a page.

There comes a time in every one's life when it's time to turn the page.  Not everyone is ready for it when the time comes, and others are chomping at the bit to accept the change that is being thrust upon them.  There are times when one plans it all out, and other times when you really are flying by the seat of your pants.  Whatever situation comes up it's always bitter sweet.  Such is this upcoming week as my nearly 31 history in the beautiful State of Maine comes to an end.  I'm going to digress from my normal blog entry and just share with you what is going through my mind, and maybe, just maybe it will help you if you are looking at a change in the not too distant future.

To say that my life has changed over the last 31 years is an understatement.  I have experienced not only numerous mountain top experiences, but I have also lived through some of the lowest points in my life.  That being said, I would not change anything that I have gone through, and I am so very thankful for all the lessons that have come my way that have put me in the place that I am at right now.  I have grown spiritually beyond what I ever imagined.  When I first got to Maine back in September of 1988 I had never given thought to becoming a writer.  I was enjoying my Air Force career and not once did I see myself doing anything else.  When I began to write I opened up a whole new dimension in my life.  I began to see things differently and I was so fortunate that I had the time to develop, and understand the nuances of my new profession.  Now I don't consider myself the most talented writer out there, but what I do bring to my work is total honesty.  I wish I could take credit for all that I write, but those that know about channeling, know that I am just a conduit for what the Universe and Source want to bring forward at any given moment.    Writing has been my center for the last nine years.  I can tell you that sitting down to my keyboard is the best part of my day, and it is my happy place.  My desire for each of you is that you find your happy place, and you begin to do what you were created to do.  I was created to write and talk about destiny, and I am so, so blessed to have the opportunity to do what I do.

Making this move to Texas is a new challenge for my husband and myself.  Oh, and for our dog Lucy as well.  I would get into trouble if I did not include her as she is a huge part of the family.  We know that we will be experiencing new things, but I'm prepared for that.  We have given thought to moving for quite sometime and truth be told had Spirit not nudged me, we probably would still be trying to set a time to leave.  It got to the point where Spirit simply told me to "pull the trigger".  When I got that message, and I might add, a message as clear as day, I knew that the time was right.  I also knew that the Universe would open up doors for me for being willing to listen and do what was required.  There are times when each of us need a little prodding to move along, and I am no different than anyone else.  I'm just thankful that I was obedient to what was being asked of me.  If you are dragging your feet about doing something, might I suggest that you "pull the trigger".  Most people are afraid to make a change because change isn't an easy thing to understand at times.  Now I've let fear control me in the past, but I was not going to let fear deter me from doing what I knew was the right thing to do.  If fear is holding you back then you need to step back and remember who and what you are, and know that you have been given great power to accomplish things.  I needed to make my intentions known, and then I needed to act on them.  There are people out there who also need to set an intention and move forward with them.  You can sit around for years and years, and all you would have done by doing that is waste a few years.

I think deep down in the recesses of my mind I always knew I would be moving to Texas.  Now I can't pin point the exact time that I though about this the first time, but I will tell you it was over forty years ago.  Funny how we always seem to come back around full circle on things.  Anyhow, I know that my journey will be expanded by making this move.  I know that I will go deeper into my calling and my destiny with this move, and that I will say makes me very happy.  Now I'm not sure what direction I'll be heading in, but I know that the next phase of my journey is due to begin when we cross into Texas.  I am so filled with excitement, anticipation, and joy it is hard to control.  I simply know that this is something that is going to change my life, and it will have a direct impact on others as I step out further into my destiny.

What I want to encourage each of you to do is to listen to your spirit and if you are being told to pull that trigger then simply do it.  There is a freedom that comes with knowing who and what you are.  There is a freedom that comes with knowing you are a creator.  There is a freedom that comes with the knowing that you have been chosen to do great things.  Don't allow fear to rob you of the blessings that will come when you step out deeper in your destiny.

As I prepare to depart this beautiful place I have called home I will remember the countless people I have come in contact with.  I wish I could reach out to each and everyone of them, but I guess I will just have to do it in the Spiritual Realm and send out love and light to each of them.  I can honestly say that I am leaving with zero regrets.  I have learned so much and I know that my almost 31 years here has prepared me for what I am about to undertake.  I'm not sure what the next 31 years will bring, but if they are anything like the last, I am in for a very good time.

I want to thank everyone who I have had the privilege of getting to know.  I want to thank everyone who I have had the privilege of speaking to at any of my events.  I know I will have larger audiences and larger venues, and I am so thankful that I had this place as a training ground, preparing me for what is coming next.  To each of you dear souls I send you love, and I long to hear that each of you are experiencing joy, happiness, and success each and every day.  I bid you and this glorious State adieu and I wish you the very best.

I am, and that's what counts.

I would venture a guess that most people are familiar with the story of Moses and the Ten Commandments, along with the freeing of the People of Israel out of Egypt.  What most people have forgotten is the significance of "I am that I am", and what it should mean in our daily lives.  Now I am not here to give anyone a lesson in theology.  I'll be the first to admit that there are plenty of things that I don't agree with, while at the same time I won't argue about other things.  What I desire today is to bring you closer to the real you, the part of you that you may have forgotten about, or in some cases may never have given thought to.

The first question most people ask is why is this important in the first place?  I could write volumes about the answer, but suffice it to say that the reason this is important is because it is the basis for your existence.  Have you ever wondered why so many people go through struggles most of their life?  Have you ever given thought to why some seem to have it easy, while others get hit with every manner of adversity there is?  First off the Creator of the Universe is no respecter of people.  What Spirit does for one, it is done for all.  I've been witness to those who only think in the victim spectrum.  The sky is falling, I'll never be good at that, why try when all that will happen is failure.  Yea, that pretty much sums up quite a few lives out there.  Is it any wonder why these people seem to be walking under that black thunder cloud most of their life?  I'm going to say this one more time, we are created beings, and we were created to create.  As hard as that is for some people to grasp it is the absolute truth.  I've tried I don't know how many times to shed limiting beliefs out of my life.  It's sad that we have been conditioned to believe that we are simply here for a while and we just have to go along with what ever comes our way.  Once we see some light we spend years and years trying to recondition ourselves.

I could take this blog in half a dozen directions right now, so let me get to the point and maybe this will set you free once and for all.  When God spoke to Moses and said "I am that I am", he wasn't just telling him what his name was, he was telling Moses you are "I am that I am".  If Spirit was not a respecter of people back then, he still is not a respecter of people in 2019.  If Moses was the I am presence, then so are you.  Moses was intent on getting the People of Israel out of Egypt.  He understood setting an intention and with the knowledge of I am, he knew in his core that he would succeed with his mission.  Spirit needed Moses to understand what the I am presence was.  Spirit needed Moses to fully accept the I am presence in him.  Once again, this is all about you right now.  You have the same I am presence inside of you.  What Spirit does for one, Spirit does for all.   We were never meant to walk around not understanding our significance.  We have been taught so many wrong things and we spend most of our life trying to undo the harm caused by well meaning people.  

The modern day church has done more to bastardized the concept of God, Creator, Source, Spirit, then any organization out there.  God is not some Omnipotent Being who only blesses those who are willing to tithe, or swear an allegiance.  Now most of my Christian friends are going to want nothing to do with me now, but I am tired of how so many people will pick and choose the aspects of God that suit them.    We have been called holy.  We have been told that God is in us and that God is love. We have been schooled that greater things will we do then what Christ did.  So let me ask you, what have you done that is greater?  Why if we are supposed to be a Deity do we have so many problems?  Truth is we simply do not believe who we really are.  We have left the I am presence behind, and instead picked up the mantel of victim, or mortal.  We are not victims and we certainly are more then mere mortals.  I am strong.  I am abundant.  I am hole. I am love.  I am that I am.  If you are only saying that I am weak, I am stupid, I am poor, then you are only asking to be weak, stupid and poor.  Any time you began a sentence with I am you better finish it with something you really want to be.

I know I am only touching the surface with this subject, but I need to prepare you for what is coming.  I need you to get ready to turn the page on all that may have happened in the past, and realize that the future is going to be different.  The I am presence is what will change the world and everyone here right now and for those who will come in the future.  Christ said that he was the same yesterday, today, and forever.  Seems to me that yesterday, today, and forever pretty much covers it all.  We are no different then Christ.  Trust me that is not blasphemous to say that.  What is blasphemous is not recognizing who and what you are.  Ladies and Gentlemen if you have struggled in the past do you really have anything to loose by seeing things a little bit different?

I'm not sure why the Church of today is so bent on holding people back.  There only seems to be a list of things you can't do.  Given the choice to be in perfect health or sickness, what would you choose?  Given the choice to be prosperous or poor, what would you choose?  Given the choice to walk in absolute knowledge of all things, or total darkness, what would you choose?  Only a fool would choose sickness, poverty, and ignorance.  The time has come to let the Genie out of the bottle and see what is possible when you accept who and what you really are.  I for one am tired of always seeming to fall just a tad bit short of what I really want.  I am all things.  You are all things.  If saying that makes you feel scared that God is somehow going to strike you down for being so bold, then you really do need to know the true nature of God.  Trust me, knowing the real you, accepting the I am presence in your life is what our creator has been waiting for since the time of your birth.  Isn't it time that you become the person you were intended to be?  Think about it.

 

Much a do about nothing.

OK, we all have those moments when we forget that we are blessed and not cursed.  I know I've had people who like to remind me that I have it better then others and I might consider counting my blessings.  Comments like these tend to piss us off when we are reminded of such, but there is more then just an element of truth in the statement.  If you are constantly focused on all that can go wrong it's a pretty good bet that it will go wrong.  This weeks blog is my attempt at getting you to see that you are a walking, talking, blessing, not only to yourself but to the rest of the world.  Sadly most people have stopped counting their blessings and are only focused on their miseries.  Let's hope that I change the way you think, the way you see yourself, and the way that you present yourself to the rest of humanity.  Let's begin shall we.

I have come face to face with certain limiting beliefs the last few months.  I had gotten to the point where I began to believe those limiting beliefs.  Trust me when I tell you that this is not a place you want to find yourself in.  It took the Universe hitting me over the head with a two by four to see that I had fallen back into some bad habits, and I needed to rethink who and what I was.  I've taken much time over the last four to six months to regroup and rethink a few things.  I'm glad to report that I am on the mend.  If I can fall back into bad habits, then anyone can.  Now I don't say that to make you think that I am better then anyone else, not in the least.  We are all blessings, we are all miracles, and we are all created beings whose sole intent should be to create.  I say these things because no matter how far you think you have come there comes a time when you will be tested.

We as created beings have such power and yet so many people are oblivious to that power.  We as created beings have something that even Angels do not have, and that's free will.  This free will is what separates us from so many other things, and yet we take for granted that we have it, and sadly there are many who will never realize the scope of their free will.  Would you agree with me that we create our own reality?  Would you agree with me that our words, our thoughts, and our feelings are what drive what goes on in our lives?  Would you agree with me that we have been given power from our creator to do pretty much anything we could dream or think about?  Problem with most people who stress out about just about everything is that they don't believe that they have been given this power.  There is freedom that comes to those who discover who and what they are.  I've said this a ton of times, we are not just mortals who occasionally have a spiritual experience, we are in fact spiritual creatures who just so happen to inhabit a mortal body.  Isn't it time that you tap into the spiritual side of things and change things around in your life?

If things are not going so well in your own little world I can pretty much bet that you have not fully grasped the greatness or uniqueness of your being.  If you are allowing little things to put you over the edge I will guarantee you that you have not accepted the truth of your majesty.  If you simply can't get out of the way then you don't understand that you are in fact a Deity.  OMG, did he just say that?  Yes I did, and I hope you will hear me.  We are not simply mortals.  Christ said that we are gods.  Christ also said that greater works would we do then he did.  Funny that main street religion has forgotten to remind us of that.  The time has come to tap into the truth of who you are.  The time has come to rid yourself of limiting beliefs and finally accept your perfection.  OMG, did he say that?  Yes I did, and yes you are perfect.  Now not everything you do may be perfect but we are talking about actions and not your self, and you being here right now is in the perfection of the Universe.  Your essence, your spirit, your soul, what ever you want to call it, is perfect.  You will never ever change your spirit.  My advice is start listening to it and start doing what you were sent here to do.

Some people may see this as radical thought, I see it as a way of life, and it's a way that you might seriously consider pursuing.  Look at it this way:  you can continue down the path you are currently on and most likely things will not change for you.  Alter your path by altering your reality, a reality I might add you create, and watch things open up for you.  I would think that most people given the option to make things better would jump at the chance to do that.  We are blessed beyond measure.  It's time that you count your blessings and forget what others may say about you, feel about you.  I honestly don't care what other people think about me.  I'm quite sure that many people think I'm a total whack job because I have the audacity to put myself in the same category as Jesus, or Mohammad, or Buddha.  The Creator of the Universe is not a respecter of people.  What Source does for one, source does for all.  Sadly we have been taught that it is blasphemous to call ourselves Gods. What is blasphemous is not accepting what Spirit says about you.  What you do when you accept mere mortal status is belittle your true essence.  I for one no longer want to hold on to only part of what is rightfully mine.  I want all that is supposed to be mine by virtue of my existence on this planet right now.

It is time to count the many blessings that belong to you and begin to share the blessings with others. There is nothing you can do or say to change the fact that you are a created being intended to create from the first day of your life to the last.   There is nothing that you can do or say that is ever going to change the fact that you are here based on the perfection of the Universe.  I might suggest that you start accepting all the blessings that are intended for you and forget about what those around you tend to hang on to.  You are blessed.  You are perfect.  You have all you need to be that mighty I Am presence that the world so desperately needs.  Begin to feel who you really are and move forward with confidence that you will accomplish what you were sent here to accomplish.

Who are you?

It's a question that most people have asked themselves at least once in their lifetime, who am I? So I guess it's as good a time as any to ask you, who are you?  Now many will fidget while trying to answer this question, and others will be direct and to the point describing who they are.  If I asked you to describe yourself to me right now, what would your answer be?  I know for a fact that my answer to this question has changed over the years.  There have been times when I couldn't answer, and there have been times when I didn't want to answer.  Quite frankly I didn't want to answer the question because I didn't like who I was or who I had become.  If you have ever been in the position of not liking who you were, then more then likely you would find it very uncomfortable answering this simple question.  Well maybe not a simple question to everyone, but a question that will force you to really take an inventory of your life.

Lets be totally blunt here for a minute; you are not your body, your job, your processions.  You are not what others may think of you.  You aren't even the same person you were when you were born.  Every cell in your body has changed countless times since the time of your birth.   What thirty something has the same body now as they had when they were a toddler?  They don't!  The only constant since the day of your birth is your true essence, and that is what makes you who you are.  The problem with most people is they don't know what their true essence is.  Most people have simply gone through life believing what others have said about them.  Sadly what most people have said about you is incorrect.  The time has come to really come to terms with the real you and for once in your life be able to answer the question of who you are.

Due to circumstances brought on by my own words and feelings I found myself lately falling back into old habits, believing certain limiting beliefs.  I was prompted to re-read one of my favorite books, Wishes Fulfilled, by Dr. Wayne Dyer.  To say that Spirit was spot on telling me to re-read this is an understatement.  I'm on my second reading this time through and I will say that I am picking up even more then the first 11 times I've read the book.  What I want to say to you today is now is the best time to forget what others may have said to you and simply focus on the real you.  You see the real you is not what most people have grown accustomed to in their own lives.  Most people go through each day simply believing that they have no control over what goes on, and because of this why even give a damn about life in general.  You have absolute control over what happens in your life and if you don't believe this then you are in worse shape then I thought.  In last weeks blogs I said I was going to delve into who we really are, so I want you to tighten your belts and prepare yourself for a ride that will change your life.  Well it will change your life if you are willing to accept certain truths that up till this point have escaped many, many people.

You, meaning you, only you, singularly you, are not just a human.  You may believe you are just a human, but you are so much more.  You have inside of you all the traits, all the attributes, and all the abilities that every enlightened person from the beginning of times has ever displayed.  Christ made the statement that we have God abiding in us, and he went as far as saying we are god.   If God is in us then how could we ever be anything but god?  Now many of my Christian friends are going to have a difficult time with this, but they are the same people who are walking around wondering why the world has pooped all over them.  We are created beings and we were meant to create.  Sadly most people are only creating things in their life that they really don't want.  God said to Moses "I am".  If God is "I am" and we are God, then doesn't it make sense that we are "I am" as well?  If you can't wrap your head around this, then you are going to continue to struggle with all the things you say about yourself.  How many times have we talked about I'm sick, I'm tired?  What about I'm not loved, not strong, not talented, not this, not that?  We have bombarded our world with a whole list of what we are not, instead of saying what we are.  I am strong, I am healthy, I am prosperous.

I for one have been round Robin Hood's Barn one too many times as it relates to understanding my true self.  I guess maybe it took hitting rock bottom to figure out I didn't want to be a bottom dweller any longer and I'd better get with the program and start believing what I have somehow always known, but just needed to be reminded about.  It's not going to be something you change overnight, I mean you've been saying "I am not..." for so long, but just try to start saying all the things you are.  If you will align your words with your feelings, then your feelings are going to start helping you manifest those things in your life that you truly desire.  As Dr. Dyer says in his book saying I am strong is a whole lot stronger then saying I am weak.  If you can begin to hold true to the "I am" presence in your life then you will see things begin to change in front of your eyes.

So when I ask you next time who you are why not come back with "I am a genius", "I am loved", or "I am in the best place in my life".  Ladies and Gentlemen we have spent too much time saying all the things we aren't and not enough time saying what we are.  If you want to feel good, believe good.  If you want to have the best job then say you have the best job.  If you want to turn the world on its ear then stand tall and accept that you are "I am" and watch as things take on a whole need light in your life.

We can't change yesterday but we can change how we see today and tomorrow.  If you see today and tomorrow as beauty, as love, as joy and happiness, then guess what today and tomorrow will bring you?  I am that I am, and for right now that is what I desire most.  I hope you will join me in changing our tomorrows by changing what we say and think today.

Greatness, Greatness, Greatness

http://www.flickr.com/photos/51602667@N06/12095362376

I have been doing some soul searching as of late.  I had found myself lingering in self pity, and that is a place you never want to find yourself if you can help it.  In trying to live we often fall prey to what others say to us.  In going through our day we often fall victim to words and thoughts that are nothing but death sentences.  What I had to do was begin to see me for the real me.  I had forgotten about my own greatness.  I had run away from my own uniqueness.  I had bought into the woe is me scenario, and I had almost forgotten who and what I was.

I'm writing this today in the hopes that I can spare you some of the torment that I have gone through.  I'm writing this today because there has never been a better time to recognize the greatness inside of you, and just what that greatness can and will do for you.  I'm sure that most of you have heard the saying that today is the first day of the rest of your life.  Far too many times people hold on to the past.  Maybe holding on to the past is a crutch for many.  Face it, if you hold on to the past one never need worry about the future, or even the present.  Not what I would recommend, but it is something that many, many people have gotten pretty good at.  We can never change the past.  Yes we can learn from it, but change never.  We can't actually know what is going to happen tomorrow. Certainly there are those who are able to see into the future, but is that 20/20 sight or just intuition?  If we can begin to focus on the here and now, focus on who we are, focus on what we are, then and only then will you be able to navigate this thing we call life.

Our greatness has been relegated to the background because we have been taught that we always need to be humble, and not braggers.  Hey I'm just like most people who can't stand being around people who always have to brag about their house, or fancy car, or how much money they have accumulated over the years.  Sadly these people have gotten their self-worth by what they have obtained in life.  Greatness, as the picture correctly says, is not measured my what you have, but by your gifts.  Sadly many people have never taken their gifts to the limits and thereby never know just how great they really are.  Well I'm here to tell you that it's time to brush off the dust and take those dreams and visions for a spin, and see if you don't come back with a new appreciation for who you are.

I want to stop here for a moment and make a statement.  More likely then not this is going to spit in the face of tradition, but I've never much cared for a lot of tradition, especially when it deals with people, and knowing our true self.  Our self-concept has been eroded over the years by a whole list of what you can and can't do.  We have been told that certain things are not possible, and we have been laughed at when we desire to really soar with the eagles.  I've often said that we have not, because we ask not, and we ask not because quite frankly we simply don't believe.  We don't believe in our own greatness.  We don't believe that we have the ability to move mountains.  We shutter at the thought that we can create something out of nothing simply by believing in our greatness.  We have been conditioned to only see ourselves as mortals and nothing more.  We have been conditioned to believe that we have to go through tough times and there is no escaping the fact that we will never be more then we are right now.  I'll be the first to admit that I have fought limiting beliefs in my life for years. I've had to open up old wounds in an attempt to heal them so that I can once and for all take my rightful place as a creating creative being.

My gifts were placed in me because my destiny was placed in me, and these gifts are what I need to fulfill my mission here on this planet, at this appointed time.  I am not a mere mortal, and you my friends are not simply mortal.  You have inside of you a greatness that very few people probably know about, including yourself.  This greatness is not given to you because you earned it.  This greatness is not measure by what you may have done, or what you may do in the future.  Nay, nay, this greatness is in you because you are alive today.  This greatness allows you to create your reality.  This greatness is what will change the world.  I think if you asked most people if they would like to achieve or accomplish something great, most, if not all would say sure.  How many people do you know that are hiding behind their failures.  How many people do you know that are holding on to someone else's coat tails, as a means to experience joy and happiness, if only in a "Gee I hope I get there someday" mode?

We were never created to simply sit back and watch the world pass us by.  We were not placed here in this time to simply go with the flow and hope that someday we might, in some little way, experience true happiness.  We were created so that we might show the rest of the world what greatness truly looks like.  We were created to create everything our heart desires and to know total happiness and joy.  How many of you reading this today can say that you know complete happiness and joy?  How many people do you know that will be honest and say there is more out there, and they want the "more"?

Over the next few weeks I am going to focus on opening up your mind to your true greatness.  I am going to focus on waking you up from the inside so that your out side starts reflecting the greatness within.  The ability to create things has slowly but surely been erased from out thoughts and replaced with an idea that we are only supposed to have so much and anything above that is nothing but greed.  If greatness is a sin, then send me to hell right now, because I desire to walk in greatness.  True greatness is not going to be measured by what you occupy, or own, or even measured in what others think of you.  True greatness is coming to terms with who and what you are, and why you are here right now.  My desire is to continue to grow in my understanding of my own greatness.  It is in getting to know the real me that I am able to help you begin to see the real you.

Greatness is not bragging to others, greatness is walking in your destiny, in your passion, in your own little world which was created just for you.  It is time my good friends to set aside past descriptions of who and what you though you were, and begin to really come to grips with who and what you are.  I want to soar with the eagles and I want to change the world. This is my destiny, and my greatness is what I have to walk in my destiny.  It is time you found out about your greatness and begin to share it with the world.

It's time to identify with the real you!!

Reality, what a concept.  Sadly there are so many people who have lost touch with reality. I've gone through my own times of not knowing reality, or at least not accepting reality.  I'm giving you fair warning that this week's blog is going to be hard hitting.  It is not intended to hurt anyone, rather it is being written to equip you.  Let me start off by sharing what I believe to be absolute truth.  Many people who have had conversations with me in the past will remember me saying these things, but just in case we have never had the opportunity to speak, this will tell you a bit about me and why I am the way I am.  First and foremost, and this should not come as any great surprise to anyone, I believe in destiny.  I believe everyone has a destiny, and I believe that the Universe will do everything to get you to your destiny, whether you go kicking and screaming, or accept it willingly.  Second, there is no way that you will ever separate yourself from that which created you.  Just as you can never change your biological mother and father, you will never be able to completely separate yourself from the Creator.  Now whether you want to call the Creator God, or Source, or Spirit, it matters not.  Something created you, end of story.

We have all been the victim of well intentioned people who have tried to teach us certain things.  These people were conditioned by the generation before them, and they were conditioned by the generation before that, and so on and so on.  In society's desire to raise a village it has destroyed a vision, a dream, our imaginations.  We no longer think about what we are, but what we aren't.  In reality we were created to create.  We are not mere humans.  We in fact are identical replicas of that which created us.  Until such time as you can accept your divinity, all the bantering about is going to add up to a huge zero.

I was prompted by the Universe to pick up a book that I hadn't read in about three years.  Prior to this I had read the book at least ten times.  Dr. Wayne Dyer, one of my favorite authors and speakers penned Wishes Fulfilled.  I've been stressing about a few things and the Universe knew I was stressing.  I followed the prodding of my Angels and I will tell you that reading this book this time is like reading it for the very first time.  It is cementing things in me that I thought I had already firmed up, but come to find out, not as firm as I thought.  My reality as of late was not based on who I was, it had become who I wasn't.  I had forgotten that I am presence in me.  I had forgotten that I am is who I am, and I had forgotten the power in me once accepting my I am presence.

We as humans have been sold a bill of goods in regards to who we are.  We as humans have been lead down a path of doubt, limiting beliefs, and in some cases well out of the realm of possibilities.  If we were created to create why are so many people living lives of utter nothingness?  If we were created to create why are there so many people who lives in squalor?  If in fact we were created to create why are there so many people who simply have given up on their dreams and aspirations?  People give up because they have been taught that not everything we desire is really for us.  Quite frankly if you have a desire for something then there is a reason for it, and I for one would never stop until I had what I desired.  Our words, our thoughts are what create our reality.  If you are always walking under that black thunder cloud it's quite possible that you have settled for it.

I've written about the I am presence before, but just like so many things in our life there comes a time when we need to re-examine some things.  I needed to re-think a few things in regards to my life.  I knew I was in a dangerous spot when little stupid things would send me over the edge.  Quite honestly I had forgotten who and what I was.  I had gotten away from believing in my true self and had fallen victim to what much of society has fallen victim to, and that is complacency.  I no longer believed that I was strong.  I would say I was weak.  I no longer believed I was prosperous, no just your average Joe always wondering when the other shoe was going to drop.  I had to start by saying I am strong.  I am prosperous.  I am loved.  I am all that I was intended to be, and I am perfect as the universe is perfect.  My reality has been taken away from me by my worries, my fears, and my doubts.  I am so thankful that I listened to my spirit guides and picked up this magnificent book again.  I look for times to read, and I read, and read, and read.  When I finish it this time, I will read it again.  I no longer can accept anything less then my authentic self.  You should accept nothing less then your authentic self.

I strongly encourage you to figure out who the real you is and run with it.  I absolutely know what is ahead of me, and I desire for each of you to fully understand what is ahead you.  There are days when we simply need to be reminded a few things.  There is no shame in falling short from time to time.  If you fall short simply keep going.  I know people who are so worried about falling back a step or two that they never take an initial step.  If you are ever going to be the person you are supposed to be then you have to move forward.  Certainly you might take baby steps, but s step is a step, is a step.

I want to encourage you to think about your divinity.  It's not blasphemous to think you are a god, what is blasphemous is not recognizing that God is in you, and you were created by God.  When we fail to accept our greatness, our divinity, that is blasphemous.  When you fail to accept the real you that is blasphemous.  When you simply walk away from the real you, that is blasphemous.  My dear friends God spoke to Moses and for the first time we knew the name of God.  I am that I am.  The I am presence in your life is who you are.  If you can't separate yourself from your earthly parents then why in the world would you think you could separate yourself from your creator?  It's time that each of us know I am.  There is much to do with the time you and I have left, why not make the most of it by taking what is yours, has always been yours, and will always be yours?  It is time to identify with the real you, and allow the real you to bless those around you, and change the world while you're being who and what you were created to be.

Sometimes we just need a reminder.

Ever have one of those days when you just find it hard to trust?  Ever have one of those days when it's damn near impossible to think about today because you are so worried about the future?  Have you ever had one of those days when you just don't feel like the universe is on your side?  If we were being totally honest I'd venture to say that most people would say yes to at least one of the above described scenarios.   Well I'm here today to provide you with a little reminder.  This reminder is something we all need from time to time, present company included.

My husband and I are about to undertake a major move.  Even though I know it's the right move, at the right time, and for the right reasons, there have been so many hurdles that have had to be navigated.  Truthfully, I have felt as though the Universe has been playing games with me, and it's been hard to focus on the now because I have been so immersed in the future.  As  a human being we all face struggles, or what we perceive as struggles.  As a human being there will be times when we doubt, when we fear, and even times when we want to run away.  If you are there now, or have been there recently count yourself in good company.

Trusting in the Universe may not always seem like an easy thing to do, but it is the right thing to do.  If you believe in the perfection of the Universe then you must also believe in your perfection.  I know how difficult it can be to say one is perfect when all you see in front of you is turmoil, fear, and a little doubt sprinkled on top of it all.  All the Universe needs you to do is have hope.  If you can hope, then that hope will eventually turn into belief, and once you believe, then all things are possible.  Trusting in something may not always seem easy, but trust is the first step in embracing who and what you are.  Trust is knowing that you are here in this place, at this time, knowing that you have a destiny.

How many times in the past has your trust been tested?  I'd like to believe that most people have trust in something.  We tend to trust until such a time as that trust is either betrayed or tested to the outer limits.  No matter where you may find yourself right now, trust is something you must hold on to.  Once again, this may seem impossible, but in reality it is really your only option if you want to move past whatever it might be that is holding you back.  I've often written about limiting beliefs.  Limiting beliefs are those thoughts and feelings that tend to get in the way of us having what we truly desire.  If one can not see themselves as successful then it's doubtful that you will ever walk in the success that you were created to walk in.  Limiting beliefs were thrust upon us by others who thought they knew best.  Sadly these limiting beliefs were passed on to them from others, who had them passed on by others, and so on and so on.  We have been conditioned since birth to believe certain things, or in some case no longer believe in certain things.  Sadly the things we no longer believe in are the things that we were always meant to have and walk in.

As I sit here writing this week's blog I am having to remind myself about hope, about trust, and about my destiny.  As difficult as it has been for me over the last few months I have come to the point where I have had to step out in faith and just do what I know is the right thing to do.  You to will ultimately have to make the decision as to what is right for you.  I can always tell when my faith is being tested, when I forget about hope and destiny.  I have a very short fuse when I am stressed.  I tend to get bothered by the stupidest things, but the small stupid things seem like huge mountains in front of me. It might be a driver in front of me who doesn't seem to have to be anywhere in particular and is just creeping along.  My frustration might show up because someone said something that just didn't sit well with me.  Normally little things don't bother me, unless I have lost hope, trust, and faith.  We all have struggles, but we all have the ability to get over them if we can just remind ourselves of a few important facts.

Fact Number One:  You are perfect in your design and in your true essence.  Fact Number Two:  You have a destiny.  Fact Number Three:  There is nothing that can change your true self.  What happens to most people is that they have allowed all the things that are going on around them to alter their perception of who and what they are.  Sometimes you just have to dig your heels in and say no more. I've been there when all I wanted to do is end it all and say to hell with destiny.  I've doubted the Universe.  I've cursed the Universe.  I've wanted to run away and just hide somewhere.  Even though I thought I had given up hope, there was a little burning ember inside that would not, could not, go out.  Just when I thought all was lost that little ember began to burn again, and I was officially off to the races.  My dear friends please accept this little reminder, not because you are needy, but because you are deserving.  We all need to hold on to hope.  We all need to believe that we each have a destiny, which means we all have a place in this Universe.  Open your heart and listen to what is being said to you.  If you are in need of reassurance then it will come to you.  If you are in need of a little extra hope, then believe it will be there for you.  If all you need is a little kick in the pants to move you along, I am confident the Universe will orchestrate that little kick for you.

Let this reminder simply be a testament to who and what you are, and a reminder of how important you are to the rest of humanity.  Remember to trust, then believe, then step out.  Your journey is not over, it is just beginning, and everything starts with hope, trust, and belief.  Be strong and show others just how strong you are.
