Love is all around me

This is my promise.... Il canto della voce è dolce, ma il canto del cuore è la pura voce dei cieli by Valentina Photography
I am comforted and uplifted by the loving presence of my Vibrational Family and Friends in Spirit. I feel their encouragement that all is well. They focus on me and I feel the truth of who they are and the message they send me. I am encouraged. I know I am never alone and I appreciate that. I remember to look for things to appreciate and I find them. I remember that God is at work through the crack of least resistance in EVERY situation and that Well-Being is the only destination. I am doing the right things. I do feel better. I am harmonizing with Love. I am allowing more good things every day. I am intuitive. I do hear the voice of God clearly. I am a fabulous creator and deserve a fabulous life. I turn to God and let God carry me away in the stream of Well-Being. I am guided to fun and adventure. Thoughts that feel good flow easily into my mind. My heart is gladdened and I am uplifted. Above all things I remember that All Is Well. And it is. Thank you Abraham, Inner Being, All That Is, The Brotherhood of the Fifth Dimension, My Vibrational Family and Friends, my Animal Friends, Gray Eagle, Wolf and angels. Thank you. @>----

I am always connected to God

Meditation by alicepopkorn
It is this connection that I remember in my heart and mind. My body responds joyously to the stream of Well-Being that flows gently to each and every cell and through every process. I am comforted as I remember who I am, a being of Light and Love focused in this physical experience for the joy of playing in this creative mix. I orient myself to the North Star of Love and am carried away in the loving arms of my Beloved Inner Being and All That Is. I remember that all my prayers and desires are answered. I trust myself for I always reach for the Light. I allow myself to play, reach new conclusions and to come into harmony with them. I am a leading edge creator and I now remember how to be up to speed with who I am in truth. I relax as I feel the truth of these statements. It all falls into place for me. There is no need for worry for All Is Well. Thank you, Darling Abraham, my Beloved Inner Being, All That Is, Gray Eagle, Wolf, angels, my Animal Friends, and my Dear, Dear Vibrational Family and my much loved friends The Brotherhood of the Fifth Dimension. Thank you. @>----

Whatever road I choose is the right road

Dee's Deep Creek Shot Mont's OOB by Montwerx
I have remembered that there is only Now and that everything I could ever want or need has already been provided. I appreciate the good that flows abundantly into my life right Now. And with even more delight I recognize that the Universe has set it all up so that everything works in my favor.

I let go of any negative teachings from the past or warnings of the future -- those times don't exist -- only Now. I look to my own feelings and desires and realize if it is my desire it is right for me. This loving Universe supports me.

It is safe for me to say no
It is safe for me to say yes
It is safe for me to have desires
It is safe for me to choose
Life supports me in feeling good

Father Mother God flows Well-Being through paperwork, bureaucracies and every single condition in my life.

I am wildly successful in ways that bring me joy.
I am prospered in magical ways.
I am a conjurer of good things to be, do and have.

My days are marvelous, wonderful, beautiful!

Thank you Darling Abraham, Inner Being, Gray Eagle, Wolf, Brotherhood of the Fifth Dimension, All That Is, God Goddess Father Mother God. @>----

Blog Action Day: Climate change and The Law of Attraction

Most beautiful show at sea by Madeira
Mother Earth is a living being who is making her ascension into the higher vibration of the awakening, as we all are. As she goes through changes of transition, I support her by remembering that the Love of Source Energy is expressed in everything I see. I call this Love into expression in the air and sea, the earth and sky by my appreciation and the Law of Attraction brings me more. Of all things, I love feeling Oneness with Well-Being best. I love the feeling of wholeness and expansion when I am focused on the stream of Well-Being. I direct my world and my experience by my thoughts and I choose thoughts of love and appreciation. I love clouds and rain, the beasts of the field, trees and bumblebees, and the incredible balance of nature. My body and spirit are nourished by this beautiful blue and green planet. I am what I love.

I am the vibration of Well-Being

Harmony & Balance by HocusFocusClick
I turn downstream with joy and am encouraged at every turn. I am so attuned to Well-Being that I can actually feel the stream of Love Energy and the presence of my Inner Being and Vibrational Family. They are here around me. It is so easy and natural now. I can feel the Energy flowing around me and through me. I can feel I am that Energy, too. I relax and let the Energy soothe and nurture my body and my spirit. I can feel that I am a Light Being walking in this physical experience. I give my body to the Light totally and completely and without reservation knowing that Love takes care of everything gently and with grace. I know the truth that All Is Well. I rest easily and enjoy this beautiful moment for Love is All There Is. Thank you Beloved Vibrational Family and Friends, The Brotherhood of the Fifth Dimension, angels, Gray Eagle, Wolf, Divine All That Is and my Darling Inner Being.

I am focused on Well-Being

Rock Gap Rd, West Virginia by David Clow - Maryland
I am effective, successful and happy as I focus on Well-Being. I ride the stream of Energy to my desires. Woohoo! I look for things to appreciate in every segment of the day and I find them everywhere. All that I desire flows into my life for my delight. I am comfortable and happy with feeling good. I love when my desires manifest and I love anticipating them. I just have fun all along the way! I open to Well-Being more and more and more. I remember who I am and how this all works and I have fun with it all. I am so healthy! My body is fit and agile, strong and vibrant with life-giving Energy. My home is peaceful and quiet. I hear the birds and the wind in the trees. The life I want, that fits the best of me is all around me. My future is bright and beautiful.

I glory in this fabulous day!!!!!

I feel the truth that All Is Well

return of the light by alicepopkorn
I stand in the feeling that All Is Well and the mists clear. I see those things that I desire. They were there all the time and now I see them clearly. I am in my rightful place, standing on the solid ground of who I am in spirit and in truth. This is what I want, this feeling, this being who I am. Now I play and explore -- riding the energy of my desires to manifestation and another and another and another! I have fun. I play. I am balanced in my joy, enthusiasm and positive expectation as I frolic in this physical experience. Life is good and I look forward to the future with eager anticipation. Above all I am at peace and centered in my true nature, a child of Glorious Goodness and Love eternal and everlasting. I am comfortable with feeling good and bask in this delicious experience of my blended state with my Inner Being. I am all that I need to be. I AM. Thank you Dear Inner Being, All That Is, Animal Friends, The Brotherhood of the Fifth Dimension, Darling Abraham, and my Beloved Vibrational Family and Friends. @>----

Dolphin Song by jervetson
New perspectives open in my mind and life. This loving Universe beckons me into the stream of Well-Being with warm living love. I am a porpoise, a surfer, an otter, a seal in the waters of life. I understand the truth now that there is only the stream of Well-Being and I am in it and of it. I understand that the techniques Darling Abe has been talking about support me in turning to the stream and riding the Energy of my desires. I understand my partnership with Well-Being for Well-Being is me and I am expressing in this physical experience so that Well-Being and I may play! We have fun together exploring this physical world and it's expression. I have big things to do and I go forth with eagerness and willingness to be the Light in this world that I was meant to be and that we all are.

I am in love with Well-Being

Peony Frosted Pink by van swearingen
I love to feel good. My Friends in Spirit nourish me with their love and I send them mine. All That Is sends me a new perspective of positive thoughts which I treasure. I feel relief as I move from one better feeling thought to another. Well-Being answers my desires again and again. There is another ship, another welcoming hand, more love, more joy, more of every good thing here in my life and more coming to me in delicious ways. Every day is a miracle of delight and joy, health and wholeness. There is a never-ending stream of Well-Being flowing in me and through me bringing all the good feelings and experiences that I desire. I am renewed and refreshed. I remember who I am and how it all works and my heart is filled with gratitude. I feel good in every way. Thank you All That Is, Abraham, Inner Being, Animal Friends, The Brotherhood of the Fifth Dimension, and my Beloved Vibrational Family.

My connection with Well-Being sustains me and fills me with hope and life

Nymphaea sumptuosa by van swearingen
Above all things, I remember that I am always connected with All That Is and there is nothing in heaven or earth that can change that. This knowledge sustains me in times of troubled thoughts and conditions. I hold to this truth which leads me to the Light that is always present. Only Love sustains me. As I walk towards that warm Love the wrinkles of conditions are smoothed and my path is clear to me. I look for things to appreciate as I go through my day and I am provided for abundantly. I practice Well-Being techniques which encourage the Energy of Love to renew and refresh my mind and heart. I can feel this encouragement emotionally and my body responds with life-giving joy. I feel hope. Enthusiasm calls me to continue on this path. Even in what seems to be darkness there is only Light for It is the only truth. I am that I am. I am a beloved child of God and I claim my inheritance of this beautiful, wonderful kingdom of God's creation in Spirit and in Truth. I relax. All is truly well. Thank you, Beloved Friends in Spirit and in Truth, Abraham, Inner Being, and Loving Source. @>----

In appreciation

I love everything about nature. The soft drizzle that nourishes the fields and the geese that walk gracefully in the rain. The breeze that tickles the pond sending ripples that reflect the light. All the critters that go about their business of loving and making a life for themselves. The birds that sing -- stretching on their toes and opening their beaks wide to sing with every part of themselves. Life is beautiful in expression.

I live in blended bliss

Apophysis-Butterflies by HocusPocusClick
My vibration is a joyful hum in harmony with my loving Self, my Beloved Inner Being, my personal expression of the Well-Being that is All There Is. I turn to things I appreciate to see and do and enjoy. I think loving thoughts. I make good choices. I remember how to play in this world, to see the platform of past creations that are around me, to selectively sift what pleases me, and shoot off those rockets of desire for more. I am an expression of the Well-Being that is All There Is and I take joy in each and every moment. I create my own world and that world is good, very good. I have abundance of every good thing. I do make the right choices for me for health, happiness, wealth, love and fun in every way. My body is strong, agile, and fit. I look beautiful. My skin is healthy and my body is robust. I am balanced in every way. There is only fun here for me and I go forth to play and enjoy the day.

@>----

I am confident and comfortable where I am and eager for more!

Scoot & Sunday at Bellever by oddsock
I am confident because I know that it's a sure thing. I am comfortable because I know that all I need is already provided. I am excited because I enjoy the ride on the stream of Well-Being and I can feel that good stuff coming. The Universe loves to play and so do I. My body is strong and healthy, agile and fit, and I am filled with the most wonderful feeling of Well-Being. I have all I need or want. I am nourished by the wild beauty of nature and mother earth. I am a loving person to myself and others and I have warm relationships of the heart. I am a blessing and I am blessed. My natural expression of Well-Being uplifts others. I enjoy the ride that is this wonderful life experience. Thank you, Dear Abraham, Inner Being, All That Is and all of my Friends in Spirit and in Truth. @>----

I remember how this works and have a lot more fun with it all

Alexandra by jurvetson
I remember that I never get it done and I relax and enjoy the journey. I remember that it's a sure thing and I look forward to the gift of each moment. I remember that we each create in our own dimension. I have everything I need and everyone else has everything they need. I remember that I have loving Friends in Spirit to support and assist me. I remember that my true nature is love. I remember that I am safe and loved and that this life is meant to be an adventure. I remember that joy is my purpose and I choose thoughts that fill me with happiness. I remember that there is so much fun I want to have and that it is mine. I remember all that I appreciate and love and I am uplifted. I remember how extraordinarily beautiful this world is and my heart is touched by the beauty I see. I remember who I am and that the truth is love and I am comforted. I remember that summoning the energy is what the journey is all about. I remember how to summon and ride the energy. I remember how to have fun. I remember how to love myself. I remember how to allow myself to be loved. If I look back Abraham and my Inner Being remind me to turn around. I remember. I say Yes! I am optimistic. I am happy.

Thank you, Darlings. @>----

I have fun today

beach feet by Micah A. Ponce
I play, I frolic, I have wonderful day dreams, I do things I want to do when I want to do them. I eat delicious fresh food :) I read words that entertain, inspire and delight me. I have fun watching movies and visiting with friends. I'm healthy, I'm happy, I do everything right and I feel good all along the way. I'm in the groove, baby! I don't have to do a single thing today except feel good. That's it. That's all there is. I don't have to worry about things done or undone, missed or lost or found, hidden or out in the open for everyone to see, up in the air or buried deep -- because itz all good. I'm copacetic. I'm living, breathing harmony. I am the golden hum that fills the air on a beautiful day. The cells in my body and every level of my being vibrate in tune. I am a living symphony, poetry in motion, beautiful to behold. I am everything I could possibly be and more. I am All There Is and All There Is is me.

I blend and harmonize with Love

Cherry Blossom Fairy by HocusFocusClick
Well-Being flows gently through me today. I remember how this all works. I remember that all that I ask is given with joyfilled love.

I claim my power

The Mighty Kings River by Laura Travels
I am a master deliberate creator. I claim my power. I claim my wholeness with Well-Being. I am good and all that I desire is good. I extend my vision to the world in which I dwell and love flows through it all -- a beautiful, clear sparkling river of love flows through it. All Is Truly Well.

I remember who I am

Today I thoroughly understand. I bask in the good feelings and remember they are the song of my Inner Being calling me to my desires. This is the alignment that I seek, the joyous vibration that is truly me. Now I have fun! I am a master creator, a magician who conjures forth delicious experiences, loving feelings to bask in, and delightful things to have and do. Life rolls out a red carpet, holds out it's arm and escorts me to a banquet of delightful experiences. All those lovely things I desire come to me. I treasure them and enjoy them. I share them with others generously. I am happy, satisfied, and whole in my beingness with my Beloved Inner Being and Source Energy. I truly enjoy this physical experience in this body and appreciate every breath, every movement, and the wondrous working of every process. I am now finally who I want to be -- I am my Self living this experience, a golden glowing expression of Love Energy manifested and walking this earth.

This is the time, right now, for I have awakened and remember who I am.

All Is Truly Well.

Money throws a celebration for me

Young clown throwing confettis at me by looking4poetry
I bask in the center of a rich and generous Universe. Money forms a joyful parade and marches into my life in big floppy shoes, wigs and funny hats. Benjamin Franklin rides a Founding Father's float and throws $100 bills at me. George Washington and Alexander Hamilton bring me big bags of money as they do intricate parade routines in little black cars.

Money has fun on it's way to me. It sneaks into my purse when I'm not looking, waits in anticipation and jumps out yelling, "Surprise!!"

Money lines up jostling and snickering behind the lottery ticket I buy. What a happy, noisy lottery ticket!

Money throws a celebration for me. It shoots off dazzling fireworks to delight me. It buys me gifts.

I am a magnet for money and it comes to me flying with beautiful fairy wings, clumping in brown work boots, and tap dancing to me across a wooden stage. It sits comfortably as it rolls to me in a big hay wagon pulled by percherons. Money drifts and twirls merrily around me from a clear, blue sky. It sings and dances it's way to me. I am free. There is abundance of every good thing.

I bask in the center of a generous and loving Universe where all dreams are treasured and every good thing that can be imagined is granted. I relax in the warm glow of eternal and never-ending Love.

Through me to you and through you to me. Join in the comments if you want to play, too. :)

All Is Truly Well.

$100 bills

My Winnings by IrisDragon
Isn't this stack of $100 bills fun?!!!

Just two or three days after I first discovered Abraham I found a crisp $100 bill on the sidewalk. There was no one around -- no cars or houses near. It was just laying there and Ben Franklin was looking at me with that little smile of his. So I picked him up and took him home.

Then two or three weeks later I was looking for something in my desk, lifted the plastic pencil tray and there was another $100 bill under it! I didn't move the tray a lot, but I had looked under there several times before. Maybe I had stashed the bill there and it had been stuck to the bottom of the tray -- or maybe -- just maybe the faeries of the Universe put it there.

Then I started getting $100 bills as birthday and Christmas gifts. I told my niece one time and she said, "Oh you and your hundred dollar bills!"

Yeah.

A $100 bill seems like such abundance to me. I like looking at this generous stack and thinking of the fun spending it. House on the beach? Yes! Cabin in the woods. Sure! Abraham cruise. You got it!

I can feel those packs of crisp $100's in my hand. I can feel the weight of them as I pick up packs and let them fall back into the pile. I can feel the bills against my fingers and hear them rustle as I fan the end of a pack with my thumb.

Can you?

Abraham-Hicks: All your dreams remember you

We have seen all of the humans who have lived all of the lives and we have never seen anything with the potential of what you all stand on now. The potential for joy in this time/space reality is beyond anything that anyone has ever lived.

If we were standing in your physical shoes (i.e., big suggestion), we would be milking it, we would be using every excuse that we could possibly find to connect to the energy that is really you.

And in doing so, every fleeting little dream that you ever had would be flooding into your experience like butterflies saying,

“Here I am” “Here I am” “Here I am”

Remember me?, you dreamed me when you were 12 Remember me?, you dreamed me when you were 18 Remember me?, you asked for me yesterday Remember me? Remember me?

Because every one of them remember you.

Every desire that you've ever held has been coded with your vibration and has been making its way to you.

And you don't have to get them all at once, you wouldn't want to get them all at once, they've been strung out in a perfect array to give you a never ending unfolding of perfection.

You don't need all of your meals at the same time, you wouldn't want that. You want them to come and be satisfying as they come. And so it is with orgasms and so it is with empires and so it is with compliments.

In other words, this is a life giving experience.

This is not your life, this is life living through you.

You are the livers of all of this, you see.

Abraham-Hicks, San Diego, CA, 2004

Today I live in the calm peace of my soul

Today I am tuned in to the vibration of Love itself and joy is my experience. The Love that is my true nature attracts soothing, inspiring words, moments of beauty in nature, and experiences of connection with those I meet. I float in the stream of Well-Being and the Universe responds by lining up even more lovely adventures to savor. I relax and know that all is well.

Appreciation for the truth of how it all works

My heart is overflowing with appreciation for the information from Abraham. I am eternally grateful that Love is the only stream that flows. I am much happier since I attracted this information and it is just getting better and better. I am so glad to remember that joy is my true purpose for this life experience and there is so much joy to be had in this beautiful world. We truly live in Eden -- all is provided abundantly and lovingly in a dizzying variety of ways. And Abraham says there is more! The Universe is constantly expanding to answer our desires. There is no limit. If we can dream it, the Universe can deliver it in this life experience. What a mind expanding thought that is!! In this beautiful, eternal moment in time I am loving the fresh, clean, cool air coming through my windows. I adore the geese and ducks that fly in to wade in the flooded field outside my apartment to forage for food and visit with each other. I appreciate my peaceful home and all of the stuff I have to comfort and entertain me. I look forward to cooking my lunch and anticipate the delicious smells and the even more delicious taste. My body is healthy and I am comfortable. And I appreciate this transformational moment in time where we are all moving to a new consciousness where we live this truth: we are spiritual beings...beings of love...who come whooshing into this earth experience for the joy of the ride.

Yes we can - Barack Obama, music video by will.i.am

In celebration of the inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama: For the hope he inspires and for his call to all of us to be co-creators with him in manifesting our vision of a better world.



If you can't view the YouTube video in this post, here is the link for the uplifting Yes We Can Barack Obama music video by will.i.am.

It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.

Yes we can.

It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.

Yes we can.

It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.

Yes we can.

It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.

Yes we can to justice and equality.

Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.

Yes we can heal this nation.

Yes we can repair this world.

Yes we can.

We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.

We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics...they will only grow louder and more dissonant ........... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.

But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.

Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea --

Yes. We. Can.

Yes We Can: Then Illinois Senator Barack Obama's January 8, 2008 concession speech to Senator Hillary Clinton in the New Hampshire primary.

In appreciation of weather

Sun and Snow by Melle Plante

Today is crisp -- very crisp actually with a wind chill below zero - the air is fresh and clean. The sun is shining on a layer of new snow, the sky is clear and blue, and trees provide a dark counterpoint in this light-filled world. How could I not feel joy today? Cloudy days are full of wonder, too. The cumulonimbus clouds build up in impressive thunderheads as the warm, moist air rises thousands of feet to the stratosphere. The warm showers late in the day refresh the earth and clear the air. Lenticularis hover like spaceships over mountains and towns. From flat, slate gray slabs that cover the sky to billowy white pillows, clouds are ever changing. The light hitting them changes constantly, sometimes producing the beautiful "God's Rays" that shoot down to illuminate the earth. The rising and setting sun reflects gold, red, lavender, purple and every lovely shade between to create a beautiful moment...and another...and another -- just for your pleasure and mine. The weather all works together with nature to provide just the right conditions for life. The cold and snow kill germs and bugs while providing the cover and protection for plants and trees to hibernate for the winter. The warm rains of spring nourish new growth. The heat of summer, and rains, are needed for that push to complete the cycle of growth and on to fall for harvest. The animals, bugs, reptiles, birds -- all of us enjoy the fruits of weather. The beautiful skies, the nourishing rain and sun, sunsets and sunrises. Each moment is new, never the same, never to be repeated. Presented for our enjoyment by a loving Universe working in perfect harmony and balance. Always ours to enjoy -- for a moment or a day.

A rampage of well-being on creating

There's nothing like the delicious sensation of creating. I love thinking about a new idea. I try out different strategies in my mind and play with them, revising them as I go along to be even more pleasing to me. Then there seems to be a point of explosion when it's ready and action must take place! I lose the separateness of being in the world and regain my connection with my Inner Self as I focus on bringing my vision into my world. There is a pure joyful energy flowing through me that wants to be expressed and I mold the clay of the physical world to match it. As I work, I feel my way and make any changes to my creation until all my feelings are smooth and flowing. My creation is whole and complete. Done. There is nothing more to be added. And yet, it is incomplete. There is always more to be done, but not with this creation -- the new energy will be with the next idea -- the next creation. I am left with a feeling of happiness and joy. I love the ephemeral quality of creating. It's like a flower that blooms to be enjoyed for this moment. And there is another. And another. And another. An eternal garden to be experienced. I don't have to hold onto anything at all, but just to walk from one delicious experience to another. I love that anything at all could be a focus for me. Making up my own recipe. Writing a post. Drawing. Photography. Or just losing myself in the moment by stopping to watch a beautiful sunset. I love the feeling of success when the manifestation feels complete. I love that surrender to joy in the experience of creating and I feel eager for more. As I wrote this I realized that this is what Abraham has been describing as the process for all of the desires we have in our life. Look at anything you do that is creative. Do you take it for granted because it's easy? You probably do it for the pleasure of creating. How amazing to think that everything is that easy! Castle or button. Red car. Winning the lottery. A relationship that makes our heart sing.

Thank you darling Abraham, for reminding me of what I knew when I first came into this world -- that life is meant to be a joyful, delicious adventure that I live just for the fun of it.
