DOING THE WORK
GETTING CLEAR
  
It can be difficult to get clear about what you do want until you clear out what you don't want.

Unfortunately, we can become so focused on what we don't want that we obscure what we truly desire. This week our work is about getting clear.
 
     
           
                               
  
CALLING IN
THE GOOD
  
 
Using a sheet of lined paper complete the following statement 9 times. 

 

  

"I don't want:

_________________________.

  

Instead I choose: _________________________"

    

Opportunities, relationships, even
money flowed my way when I
learned to be grateful no matter
what happened in my life.

Oprah Winfrey

 

Gratitude means giving thanks from your heart.  When you do this, energy flows from your heart and activates certain responses from other people as well as the Universe. If you pay lip-service to gratitude or feel you ought to be thankful, you words and thoughts do not draw the same response.

 

. . . When you send out heartfelt thanks to the Universe for the blessings you have received, the divine energy lovingly responds by giving you even more blessings.

 

Heartfelt gratitude is a key to abun- dance. It unlocks the great resources of the Universe.

 

Diana Cooper

A Little Light on the Spiritual Laws

 

Thank you is the bridge from where you are now, to the life of your dreams.  . . . When you understand that the Universe is within you, and by its very nature it is for you wanting you to have more life, more health, more love, more beauty, and more of everything you want . . . then you will feel genuine Gratitude to the Universe for everything you receive in your life and you will have established a personal relationship between you and the Universe!

 

. . . The more genuine Gratitude you feel toward the Universe for everything you receive the closer your relationship becomes with the Universe.  In that moment you can reach the level of unlimited abundance from the Magic of Gratitude.

I TAKE THE LEAP!  

 

Dear Creator,

 

I acknowledge You as the Master Protector of my life.   I know God that You are the Chief Operating Officer in my life, and that the desires of my heart are placed there directly from You! 

 

As I exhale fear and inhale courage I confess that I am ready to take the leap; I am ready to elevate and go to the next level.  I confess that there is a part of me that believes I will fail and that things will not go my way. I am choosing to keep my eyes on You and take this leap anyway! 

 

I take the leap and trust that what comes forward is in Divine Order - trusting that what I desire will manifest or something better according to Your will and my absolute, highest good!  And even if I receive a "NO" I trust that, that "NO" means a New Opportunity is being divinely carved by You.   I am open to receive all that You intend for me to receive!  I open my mind, my body, my spirit and my emotions to receive ALL that I desire, or something better. 

 

I claim that the divine right people will be placed in my path, that the divine right resources will be made available to me and that I will leap at the divine right time.  I am success!  I am soaring!  I am leaping!  I am living in my purpose! I am walking under Your guidance and perfect will!! 

 

God, I thank You for all of the opportunities that come into my experience; I thank You for the stretch out of my comfort zone!  And I thank You for the reminder that no one has ever died from taking a leap of faith under Your covering and protection!  I let it be so, and so it is!

 . . . gratitude is more than a word or a gesture.  Being truly grateful for the gift of life must be an experience.

 

We must learn to experience gratitude as an experience of being alive.  When we become grateful to this degree we will begin to notice the small things.

 

Gratitude is a state of consciousness.  It is an experience of living in a state of joy.

 

Gratitude is like a magnet that attracts more of it to itself; the more grateful you are, the more you will receive to be grateful for.

 

Electricity does not care if you believe in it or not.  When you want to experience light in a dark room, the only requirement is that you flip the switch.  The electric current moving through the wires does not care if you like it, if you know how it works, if you believe in its power.   . . . Life works the same way.  It does not care if you like it.  Life is not concerned about convincing you that it is good or abundant. Life will not stop because you do not believe in it.  And whether you believe in life or not, you will not rust or fall apart if you stand still for five years.   The only requirement for you to live a full and valuable life is for you to flip the switch, to make the connection.  Gratitude is the connection between who and what you are and the full magnificence of life.

Tattooing . . . Is It For You? 

 

  • A tattoo is a form of body modification, made by inserting indelible ink into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment.

  •  

    Usage of the terms "skin art", "tattoo art" "pieces"and "work" is gaining greater support with mainstream art galleries holding exhibitions of both conventional and custom tattoo designs.
