AFFIRMantra 2. Love.
Love
AFFIRMantra: a positive declaration you believe, you speak aloud, and which vibrates to the core of your faith.
Love is all the Good I am.
As GOD is Love, you are Love. I am Love. This is the image of Spirit in which we are made: Love. This is the Love that is a whole lot of “un’s”. Love is unconditional for it has no requirements. Love is unqualified for it is without exception. Love is undeniable for it is that of which we are made. All those good “un’s” and it’s a shame that you (or I) can make love unbelievable….but only if we choose to.
Love is unlimited in its forms. Between two individuals. Parent for child. Among close friends. For pets and sunsets. Peace between tribes. What fills the heart at harvest.
Set no limit on your perception or reception of Love. Know the Truth that is Love. Know that you were made of Love and that you are constantly and continuously recreated by the ever-flowing stream of Love that is Spirit.
Love is all the Good I am.
I hope you find comfort using this AFFIRMantra to know the Love you are. Say it aloud with your voice. Hear it with your ears. Feel it in your heart. Know it as your truth.
Love and blessings,

AFFIRMantra 1. Joy.
Joy
AFFIRMantra: a positive declaration you believe, you speak aloud, and which vibrates to the core of your faith.
The joy I am flows in me.
The joy we know is the joy we are. It is perfectly true to state: I AM Eternal Joy. Your joy is not something that happens to you; nor is it anything that you must look outside yourself in order to find. As joy does not come from things you possess, neither is joy “something” you possess. No, joy is your very being.
We are created of joy. Spirit is joy as Spirit is love and peace. We can enjoy continually reminding that we are joy.
The joy I am flows in me.
I hope you find comfort using this AFFIRMantra to know the joy you are. Say it aloud with your voice. Hear it with your ears. Feel it in your heart. Know it as your truth.
Love and blessings,

Expressing Thanks.
Expressing Thanks… Every Day
Happy Thanksgiving.
I’m aware as I am thinking, typing, even quietly expressing thanks aloud, I don’t need to reserve it for this single day.
Giving thanks truly is a happy thing. The release of expressing gratitude for anything — big, small, life-changing, smile-making — brings back a feel good.
Notice that today. Notice that tomorrow. Notice that the day after Christmas. Notice that when spring arrives.
Today we’ll feel wonderful being among friends and family, focusing our celebration on the long lists of all for which we are thankful (including the table loaded down with food).
I plan to take a breath each time I say (or silently reflect) “I am thankful….”. I plan to let myself zero in on how expressing thanks allows me to feel. I know it will let me feel wonderful in many ways. I know that will happen many times today.
I also plan to invest attention on expressing thanks and how it lets me feel beyond today. Every day doesn’t seem too often!
Living, Loving, Giving GOD,
speaking our gratitude need not be reserved,
not saved for any one specific day
or reason.
Sharing our thanks for the infinite blessings
you share with us
shall not be limited to a national Thursday.
Releasing the joy we know from all you let us
be and do and have
gives us more joy the more often
we say, “Thank you, GOD!”
Expressing thanks is more to let us feel
the joy of thanksgiving
than to let you know we notice all you give.
And so we can enjoy every day
as a day on which we say, “Thank you, Sweet Spirit!”
And so it is.
Amen. Amen.
Love and thanks!

Expressing Peace. Finding the Moment. 101.
Finding the Moment for Peace
Finding the moment for active peace on Saturday wouldn’t seem difficult. The weekend comes at once, looked forward to, and often captioned by a long to-do list. And though today was already full-scheduled, it was a joy to find the moment for nothing but peace this morning.
Heavy rain, possible hail, slight chance of tornadoes were all in today’s forecast. I was quick to put a peaceful run into the schedule.
I loved that it happened before the rains arrived.
The thick, white cover of clouds made my slow, mindful run feel it happened under a warm security blanket.
As the snake-winding sidewalk unrolled beneath me, I passed cypress trees and scruffy oaks and an occasional magnolia. Felt like my breath brushed their boughs.
Turning one corner the delightful scent of cedar — rich and strong — greeted me. The flower beds and tree circles had been recently mulched with cedar chips.
And I never had to hurry; running fast was not the objective. Knowing the peace to do the day’s to-dos with abundant peace and more abundant joy: that was the objective.
Objective fulfilled. How was your Saturday?
Sweet Spirit,
Saturday is peaceful, peaceable, and peace-loving
just as any other day. Thank you for that.
Thank you, too, for extra time to create ways
to know the peace that flows from you,
from the Peace you are.
Whatever we may choose to do that brings us peace–
run, garden, shop, sleep, cook, visit, create–
reflects and produces the joy we know
as expressions of your Love and Joy and Peace.
With thanks for Saturday–and every day–
we enjoy the peace you let us make.
And so it is. Amen. Amen.
Enjoy Peace. Express Peace.
