The Choice of Active Abundance

We can live passively-waiting for things to happen or to get better, or actively-using our manifestation abilities to create the reality that we want in the next moment, no matter what appears to be happening in this one. Our life can be one of active abundance, where we are in a constant state of receiving effortless miracles every day, or passive abundance, where we seem to get what we want after a great deal of difficulty, at the last minute, receiving much of what we do not want or nothing at all.  The choice of active or passive abundance is ours and the results of our choices will be reflected in our reality.

The word abundance immediately brings to mind money and having everything we want (even those things we think are impossible). If we had abundance, wouldn't we have a lot of money and all of our current lack would be replaced with things that brought us joy? Abundance exists in all things, including what we want and what we don't want. We can't judge abundance because it's a universal principle. If we have no money then we have an abundance of lack. If we are unhappy then we have an abundance of sadness. Our lives reflect the abundance we have created in each moment and we have abundance in everything, including problems and chaos. If that is the state of our reality, then we are manifesting through the beliefs that create those things. Universal law doesn't judge between conscious and unconscious creation, it simply responds to our energy and intention.

When we engage in active abundance we use the power of our thoughts to constantly focus on what we want in our lives. And no matter what our reality looks like at the moment, we know that it can be changed. To create abundance in what we think are 'good' things we must be active in the process and that includes being willing to trust and have faith while we focus on what we want, or walking through doors that open for us. Being passive in this process, waiting for 'good things' to happen, will bring us uneven results that may not be exactly what we want.

This week, consider the kind of abundance that you have in your life right now. If it is joy, peace and unconditional love, that's wonderful. If not, what is your intention for your life and what are you doing to become an active participant in the process of creating abundance? Remember that abundance is not about money, it's about being in the flow of all of the joy, peace, love and the other wonderful, fulfilling things that you want in your life. We must be active participants in the abundance process in order to manifest it in our lives, which means focusing our intention on what we want and walking, fearlessly, through the doors that open for us. Practice active abundance and you will manifest the miracles that you deserve and desire.

Choices...

We are all faced with choices; everyday choices, life-changing choices and choices that are difficult to make. We consciously and unconsciously make choices. Many of us seek advice before we choose, validating that our intuition was right. What you have to understand is that it is YOUR choice, your path, your journey. You MUST experience life - pain, love, sorrow, joy, death, renewal.

Pure unconditional love that is innocent and always present. Now in the realms of ego, unconditional love sometimes gets misconstrued as lust and passion. When you meet a soul that is searching externally for that which fills the holes, ego is in charge, no matter what the spiritual path may be. We honor their journey without judgment and send unconditional loving energy to them.

As we travel the roads less traveled, exploring the depths of our shadow, sometimes soul separation is required for growth to occur for the individuals involved. This too is a choice that we make, yet sometimes difficult.

Until next time, Sunshine hugs and moonlight kisses....

Glorious Manifestations

"I keep my thoughts centered upon only those things that I want to see manifest in my life." I sent this message out into the world wide web and posted it on my vision board on my refrigerator earlier this week.

I have had much reflection on the brevity of these words. Realizing that without conscious effort and thought, I might easily attach a negative label on a situation or person. Upon doing that, I am then bringing more of it into my world.

Now - reassess the same situation or person - focusing on the positive; on the good qualities instilled. I now have the opportunity to bring good into my world, an opportunity to learn something of value.

Did you see the transformation? It was not the situation or person. It was my own thoughts and attitude. I now express my gratitude for the goodness of all and allowing those glorious, joyous, goose bumps experiences to manifest in my life.

Would you like to bring glory, joy, hope and happiness into your world?

Making a Difference

Wow, it has been a month since I last wrote to you. My world has been evolving, changing, shedding, renewing and absolutely in divine, perfect order.

I am on my Purpose train. OMG, what a ride, could even be an attraction at a theme park. Step right up to your Purpose train; a ride filled with bumps, sharp turns, 360 degree loops and every second is worth it. Hold on, but not too tight, there are things that are meant to fall away. They are no longer needed on this train ride. HO, there goes ego, there goes childhood angst, there goes lack of...

You see people on this train, your Purpose train, there are Gifts of the Divine. I want my world to be filled completely with them. There is Love, Patience, Kindness, Faith, Joy, Peace,Goodness, Self Control and Gentleness.

Each day I want you to look at this list with me, print it out,write it out, however it is that you will see IT. I am going to choose ONE and ask the universe to fill my heart with the gift, then ask the universe for the opportunity to give that gift away the very same day. In doing this with me my brothers and sisters, we are making a difference, we are changing our world for the better.

Can you do this with me, please?
