SOMEONE BELIEVES IN YOU
"Borrowed Visions" from "DailyOM" Newsletter
There are times in our lives when we may find ourselves facing challenges
that can seem overwhelming. The situation or task we are struggling with
seems hopeless, and it is easy to stop believing in ourselves, our goals,
and our dreams. It is during these moments that it can be reassuring and
reaffirming to turn to the people in our lives who do believe in us,
especially when we are finding it hard to believe in ourselves. An
encouraging word, a reassuring look, or hearing the words "I believe in
you" from someone who matters can help us turn our situations around in
an instant.
Everybody has someone who believes in them, whether this person is a
teacher, parent, friend, loved one, or an employer. Often their belief
can wrap us in warmth, bolster us, and offer us a supportive hand to grab
onto until we can regain our own support. Having that special person who
believes in our abilities and our worth is a wonderful gift. But when we
are feeling unworthy, it may be difficult to take in something so
precious. We may even feel like we need to do it all on our own and that
we shouldn't be asking for help. However, in letting their belief and
support impact you, you are acknowledging the part of yourself that knows
you are worthy of trust and esteem. By allowing them to believe in you,
your own belief in yourself and your abilities will start to emerge
again. Borrow their vision, and you can make it your own.
Living and Giving
Author Unknown
Whatever you give away today,
or think or say or do
will multiply about tenfold
and then return to you.
It may not come immediately,
nor from the obvious source
but the law applies unfailingly,
through some invisible force.
Whatever you feel about another,
be it love or hate or passion
will surely bounce right back to you
in some clear (or secret) fashion
If you speak about some person,
a word of praise or two,
soon, tens of other people
will speak kind words of you.
Our thoughts are broadcasts of the soul,
not secrets of the brain.
Kind ones bring us happiness;
petty ones, untold pain.
Giving works as surely
as reflections in a mirror.
If hate you send, hate you'll get back,
but loving brings love nearer.
Remember, as you start this day
and duty crowds your mind,
that kindness comes so quickly back
to those who first are kind.

GOD PROVIDES
What transpired in our topic " God provides " was that God provides everything Earth, sun, water, air, trees, animals for our physical sustainance God gives Life within us
Each creature has a certain frequency which attracts the same from the universe
But there is grace which comes through compassionate people, God realized people who show kindness, forgiveness and wisdom
Through them we can come in contact with the one within Then it is grace if we chose
We talked about karma and grace If we refuse grace, there is karma
Here is a prayer which I shared Carolyn Myss read it I don't know if she wrote it

TO THE WONDERFUL WOMEN IN MY CIRCLE
When I was little, I used to believe in the concept of one best friend, and then I started to become a woman. And then I found out that if you allow your heart to open up, God would show you the best in many friends.
One friend is needed when you're going through things with your man. Another friend is needed when you're going through things with your mom. Another when you want to shop, share, heal, hurt, joke, or just be.
One friend will say let's pray together, another let's cry together, another let's fight together, another let's walk away together.
One friend will meet your spiritual need, another your shoe fetish, another your love for movies, another will be with you in your season of confusion, another will be your clarifier, another the wind beneath your wings.
But whatever their assignment in your life, on whatever the occasion, on whatever the day,
or wherever you need them to meet you with their gym shoes on and hair pulled back, or to hold you back from making a complete fool of yourself ... those are your best friends.
It may all be wrapped up in one woman, but for many it's wrapped up in several... one from 7th grade, one from high school, several from the college years, a couple from old jobs, several from church, on some days your mother, on some days your neighbor, on others your sisters, and on some days your daughters.
Dearest Brothers and Sisters,
for the longest time I thought that Spirituality and money did not mix. I always had two separate worlds for it. Money meant greediness, therefore could never be in the same world as God. It took me all these years to finally understand that God meant for me to be wealthy and because of my difficulty in not accepting this gift, I always struggled financially. This is the first year of my life, that I accept the gift of financial stability. I believe that God created me (all of us) to be successful and enjoy its fruits. When I am wealthy, I will be able to be more serene and do God's work. I will be able to dedicate myself to the less privileged. I will go to my honeymoon. I will buy a new car. I will pay my bills with no problems. I will be able to give financially. I will be able to do much more...... To be financially secure or wealthy is God's Gift and when we are able to accept and receive its fruits, its a sign of Spiritual growth.
"Find a person who is passionate about their work and you’ll likely find a success. Some found that passion early and steered by this bright star; others found it almost by accident, simply by doing what felt right and letting that lead them wherever it would. The important part is that they found it.” Ivan Misner
Four words for success
Want to learn four simple words that will ratchet up your success? They're not magic, but they are powerful.
The words, according are "What-Can-I-Do..."
The four words that will create power and guarantee success are: 'What - Can - I - Do". Uh, that's it? Yes, those are the four words that create unstoppable power.
Here is what I mean. For any given problem or situation you have choices. You can either ask "why does this always happen to me", or you could say, "why does this have to happen now", or you could say, "when will somebody (else) do something about this", or you could say this:
"What - Can - I - Do that will turn this situation around?"
"What - Can - I - Do that will stop this from happening?"
"What – Can - I - Do to take action right now?"
"What - Can - I - Do to get me one step closer to my goal?"
A variation of those four words and ones that are equally as powerful are: "How - Can - I - ...? Complete the phrase and you'll see what I mean. For example, "How - Can - I -
take action now that will change the status quo?" "How can I - do things differently and get a better result?" "How can I - change my behavior?"
What is your dream? And more importantly, What-Can-You-Do?

And the final one -- Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge.
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife.
Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,
"Nothing, I just helped him cry"

Yes POSITIVE people are indeed POWERFUL people! In every aspect of life, if you are positive you will do more, see more, achieve more, and be HAPPY more!
This week is my last week of running basketball camp (for the summer). It is so interesting to see all the different personalities and attititudes of the children. And it never fails... those that are the most enthusiastic and positive seem to ALWAYS improve the most and have the most fun! It is inevitable. At the end of each camp I give out awards... some are skill related ("Best Shooter", "Best Ball Handler", etc) and others are attitude related ("Hustle Award", "Spirit Award", "Sportsmanship Award", etc). It is great to see the reaction of the children that are presented with the "Spirit" or "Hustle" Award, it is clearly more significant then the others!
So when we are off in the world doing our jobs or taking care of our families, lets think about which award we strive for....
Attitude is the small thing that makes a big difference!

Here is one thought on "It is Strong to Serve":
Behind you is a power beyond your comprehension.
God only waits for His children to be willing to be a channel.
He only waits for you to serve, knowing that you are nothing without serving.
May the channel open wide and the Light flood through!
By your mental direction it can go forth to heal the nations, to heal the whole world.
Sayings of the White Eagle
Dear Quiet Friends,
Our circle has been quiet lately. I've been thinking about us lately
Today, my husband gave me money to go shopping before he and my son left for work
Yeppie I thought, going shopping, but I just sat at the kitchen table, resting my head in my right hand. I felt bored, but so much to do. I cleaned my bathroom and was ready to go shopping, yeppie I thought, but I sat again at my kitchen table, with my head resting in my left hand. I thought about dinner and went through my South Beach Diet Book, and got some recipes for dinner. I could go food shopping but just wasn't suppose to. I could go clean the dining room, my hutch is so dusty from all of winters messy coats of dust. A big job but once I got into it, I cleaned and was like speedy Gonzalas. I even did the chairs and dining table. Well, in my flurry of work, I spilled my coffee on the table in which I noticed an old chart of our Circle and a small book by my master, Metaphysical Meditations. I thought to myself, Ok, when I'm done, I will gaze upon the book, for me or for us, our circle, and will surely find something to do with us. Well, with music playing in the background, I cleaned and cleaned and couldn't wait to be done. One of my chairs was missing so I thought it was in my meditation room, I quickly checked and when I did, I was taken back by the beauty of this room. Smiling and taking in the vibrations as if it was my first time in viewing a holy place, I was elated. I did not wholly step in but leaned in to read a message leaning on my guru's picture that I had put there some time ago. I think I got it from our group, no matter but when I read it, I knew I was coming in to do a meditation and to pick a passage from Metaphysical Meditations. This is what I cut out.
IT IS STRONG TO SERVE
TO HEAL THE WHOLE WORLD
Behind you is a power beyond your comprehension;
God only waits for His children to be willing to be a channel;
He only waits for you to serve, knowing that you are nothing.
May the channel open wide and the Light flood through!
By your mental direction it can go forth to heal the nations,
to heal the world. Saying of White Eagle
Well, needless to say, I quickly ran into the dining room full of excitement to finish and I cleaned myself up and went to turn the cleaning music off, it was "Nobody get's to much love anymore, it's much too hard to come by, I'm waiting in line" by the Bee Gee's, I grabbed my book and went inside my long awaited holy place.
Smiling all along like a child, I sang to God, I breathe, my thoughts went into the Bee Gees, I went back to God,
After a little while, feeling blessed by feeling his love, I opened the book and read, pg67 NEVER LOSE HOPE,
three paragraphs down, The joyous rays of the soul may be perceived if you interiorize your attention.
These perceptions may be had by training your mind to enjoy the beautiful scenery of thoughts in the invisible, intangible kingdom within you. Do not search for happiness only in beautiful clothes, clean houses, delicious dinners, soft cushions, and luxuries. These will imprison your happiness behind the bars of externality, of outwardness. Rather, in the airplane of your visualization, glide over the limitless empire of thoughts. There behold the mountain ranges of unbroken, lofty, spiritual aspirations for improving yourself and others. Nothing more to say. I only hope that you can feel what I am trying to say in words.
In loving vibration, Debbie
Overcoming Fear
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brillant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we're liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

Love and Abundance Beyond Conflict
Good communication, communication, communication.
Say I am sorry, repent, be positive, be calm and still. Do not allow the conflict to mean so much rooted in childhood, where and when did I experience these feelings first? Repeat positive affirmations for a week or so. This will change the past negative memories and help healing to take place for example: I am always at peace, I choose to create another possibility or meaning for my life.
On About Clearing:
Dear sisters,
Create some quite time over the next couple of days to reflect on vision for your life and what you want to create mentally, emotionally, spiritually as well as physically.
Within this meditation acknowledge to yourself to successfully create the new we need to be honest about what doesn't serve us, what we are willing and ready to let go of. Notice how these issues are connected - many times mentally and emotional clutter translate into physical clutter.
Be ready to share what came up for you in this process and what clearings you want to see in your life. What are the steps you are committed to taking to create these clearings and what would this look like over the next couple of weeks.
As a suggestion, we might 'buddy up' so that we can support as well as be supported by another sister in taking these steps in our lives and create the opening for abundance on all levels.
Blessings to all!
Love,
Amalyah
On ideas about anger and the power of our mind from Elisabeth's friend, Irene, a caretaker for elderly people.
Dear Sisters,
Here are some thoughts about anger, which is easy to use and people know how to respond to it, usually with more anger. But by trying to use love I can see how much more powerful its effect is. I may get easily angry at my loved ones at home, but I can't really get angry at patients. Whenever some mentally challenged patient screams at me, I try to look him or her in the eye and say "I love you", or something along that line. It helps, mostly they stop.
I always have to ask myself what came out of my mouth in the last 24 hours. Did I speak healing words or were my words angry or unpleasant? I know that if they were words of dis-ease, I have to look inside of myself for their source.
Talk to you soon.
Irene
