Enduring Spirit & Hope!

Well, now that the world is getting comfortable with having an amazing man in power, we can reflect a little on
what really brought us to the level of believing that CHANGE is on the way. When everyone in the world was watching President
Obama bring insight, inspiration, & hope to the future of what the majority of people were seeing as quite dim.
We face financial crisis', we face all the trials & tribulations that life brings & when the day came for an extraordinary man
to lead the way of hope - we take it & eat it up. We all want to live our best life. We all want to experience success, love,
& the financial abundance that only seem to shine on the elite of the elite.
We see & believe what we want to! The "Enduring Spirit" & "Hope" that Obama brings to all of us was ALWAYS there. We have
always had it. We all carry it with us every day. We just have someone that believes in us now! That is the difference!
It is the same feeling with your children - they are born, you are born, we are all born with the innate ability & unlimited potential to be, do, or have whatever it is we want. Along the societal way, we lost our vision, passion, courage to be authentic.
If you believe in yourself, in your children, in your country - if you 'believe' that CHANGE can happen, with all the icing to go with it; love, life, beauty, success, family, global awareness, financial gain, & so on. It is all about belief! We believe in Obama's goals for the future. We believe that he really does believe we can get there. We only need to believe in the this ourselves & we all ride on this amazing ride in unison & together. Never before has the North American continent felt so together, finally living as one!
Do not believe that this feeling of hope & unlimited potential came from anyone else but you. He is the catalyst, no doubt but the belief is all you. We were all ready to see the potential of what our future will deliver. We now have someone who is authentic in spirit & also believes in the potential of all of us!
So, go forward with your enduring spirit with the hope that we all have the ability in each thought, each word, each action to bring about greatness within us all, within your children, within the relationships of our neighbours & co-workers etc.
Each word we speak & action we fulfill all plays a role in the outcome! Believe & think peace & abundance & it is all yours!

Here is to your enduring spirit & my hope, your hope, everyone's hope has been restored for an amazing life ahead!

Peace Out,
Happy Sunday!

Sincerely,
Joanna

A "Courageous" New Year!

A 'Courageous' New Year!
By EfferVaCious on January 15, 2009 - 7:01am
I feel so inspired & wanted to share a thought...
A Courageous New Year!
It is time for change & the global conscious is now being lifted. Although we hear that financial times are tough, it is what you believe to be true that will affect what comes into your life. It is about the "courage" to wake up & take the path less travelled. To listen to your soul, your story, your spirit & live your life to the fullest. This will be a courageous year in more way than one. You will do things you have never done, you will challenge yourself in more ways than one, you will manifest more than you ever thought possible & your new limits are now unlimited!
There is a new level of consciousness happening - people are becoming more aware of 'something more' - there is a level of energy happening & it is all good! There is hope, there is light, there is power, & it is all within! From within so is without!

Live this year with hope, faith, enlightenment, & joy that you are meant to live. Live with courage to take new steps, try new things and be as creative as you were meant to be! Live with passion & live!

Think about it...

Just wanted to put something out there - do you believe in fate? Do you believe that regardless what you do in life, you have
a predetermined destiny or that life happens to you without your intervention it will just be what it is? Do you believe that
most things are out of your control?
When you really take all situations & look at them individually or break them down, you will see that there was a cause to that effect or outcome. You had a belief or thought that had brought about the result. All experiences in your life are spawn from your thoughts Your thoughts become your words, your actions, your beliefs, your behaviours, your habits and so on. We have such unstoppable & incredible power with what lies within that the possibilities are staggering & unbelievable to some.
As you travel on your life's journey - pay attention to every thought you incur. Does this thought benefit me? Does this thought connect with my true spirit? Pay attention to every thought & dismiss / change or banish old, negative, poor health thoughts.
Anything that is not LIFE - LOVE - BEAUTY is not benefiting you and your spiritual growth. When I say BEAUTY - I do not mean to think of becoming more gorgeous or focussing on only those that possess good looks, I mean BEAUTY in the sense of UNIVERSAL BEAUTY!
BEAUTY is everything that is created in perfection. Nature, animals, your children. The sights of this beautiful world & universe that we live within is created in perfect beauty & how often do we stop to soak & breathe it in? Do this every day & you will be filled with such intense appreciation of our world & those around you. Creating more love & zest for life from within that you will change the thoughts, words, actions, reactions, behaviours, and so on which will then change what you have coming to you....
You have now created your own fate! It takes alot of practice to focus on every thought in our busy days, but you will get to changed behaviour that no longer will negative self-damaging thoughts will swallow you up every second, you will be noticing that it will only be once a day or a few times a day and less and less. Your world will be everything that your potential has been waiting for you to wake up to and become!
We are led to believe that we have few choices in life, but only the opposite is true. You have the ultimate power of every success you have ever dreamed possible...that power is your simple ability to choose! Choose your thoughts, choose your beliefs, choose your actions, and allow only all good things to come from your being....practice, practice & you will see how
everything around you will falls into place just as you have dreamed - even in your wildest dreams - it is ALL POSSIBLE!
You have the energy & choice to be anything, do anything! You are the ALPHA ENERGY to become anything, to have anything!
It starts with a thought - & anything is possible!

Peace out!

Resolutions Smesolutions

One thing I have learned over the year is not to make an impossible list of resolutions that are just unreasonable to
accomplish. I have always been a "list" maker & "goal" setter & from my days of being in management my goals are
always reviewed, reasonable/achievable, time orientated & relevant to my internal desires.
I no longer make an additional list of things to do, or to accomplish just to ring in the New Year. I guess I feel that
since taking on a more intimate role with my spirit energy & understanding the Universal Laws, I feel that
each day is a new day to a new year & a new me. In each meditation I ask for guidance to become more loving, expressive,
creative, open, and so on. I send prayers for family & friends & people whom I may not know, but know they are having
struggle.
In each day, there are opportunities to start over. To begin again & do over. You do not have to wait for the New Year, or your next birthday or the next day off or the next free minute to change & become more connected. Life happens in every moment - why wait to make it your best life. For me, being open or vulnerable to others love has always been a big step to my own evolution. I have always lacked trust in others, and have always been the one others would go to because they thought I was the strong one. "Never let 'em see you sweat!" "Prove your abilities - fight for the right" and so on. I am a tough cookie, but I knew I was missing a lot of love in my life. Even though there are family and friends who I love & who love me, but there is usually a wall that people have to jump over to get in. That is not how I wanted to live out my life. So a year ago, when my spiritual journey began, so did the recognition of my deepest & truest facets of myself that I wanted to evolve. Becoming connected with a higher energy, and become connected with my inner spirit really helped me become vulnerable & open. I no longer have anything to prove to anyone, especially myself. I allow people to be who they are while I allow me to be everything I want to be in each moment. When I have a down moment, or a moment that I know I could have been more loving, or more open, I recognize it, do a self-check, & move on and know that I will grab the next opportunity.
You see, you don't have to be perfect at everything, or make a list to become more perfect. Take self evaluations to become more you! More loving, more giving, more able to be more you! With life as busy & crazy as it gets, you don;t need more lists to be more things to more people. It is not about the 'getting' or the 'doing' it is about the 'being!'
"BEING" is something you sometimes cannot tick off on a list as 'done.' It is changing prior behaviours to new better ones. This takes time, takes practice, take patience. Be easy on yourself - behaviours donot change overnight. When you do step out of that old behaviour & into a better one, you will feel such freedom & grace for yourself. Pride in knowing that you have become closer to your authentic you, you have become connected to spirit.
So, when people ask you "What's your New Years resolution?" What will you say?
My blessings & best to you in this wonderful day to see the best of what is, and the best you can make this next minute! Be your best today!
EfferVaCiously yours,
Joanna
