Breaking News!! It’s A New Day!!!  September 26th, 2024- Day 44- Today is a day that “Great Spirit” has ordained for your life and soul expression.

A girl has to do, what a girl has to do to take care of her business!

Daily Mantra:

There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

Chat for the day: 

I can hear my Mom’s voice in my hear telling me to-“Don’t put off for tomorrow , what can be done today!”  I guess that has been an impetuous for my work ethic all my life.  I operate within this framework and at the same time know that I will only get done in a day what God intended!  This helps me keep a balance -most of the time!  It is work in itself trying to keep a balance in as many areas of my life as I can.  I do understand from my life experiences, that it is important to be a “responsible adult” and take care of my own business.  It is not appropriate or fair to leave my affairs for someone else to handle or worst, have to clean up. 

We have to make an effort to “handle our business” and not fall into a trap of avoidance by entrenching ourselves in distractions.  Distractions can be bold and hard to avoid or quietly creep into our sphere to capture our attention and we don’t realize it till we are drawn away from what we should be attending to and wrapped up in “Stuff” we don’t need to be doing.  Wow!  Life can be tricky and put us in a position where we are called to really be intentional about our time and priorities. I can testify that when you are in the habit of “taking care of your business”, you can have peace of mind, that  impacts your physiological, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.  

The principle to live by that will support our destiny path is -take care of your business!

Breaking News!! It’s A New Day!!!  September 23rd, 2024- Day 41

Today is a day that “Great Spirit” has ordained for your life and soul expression.

Sometimes we have to just sit in the moment
and breathe in “Great Spirit’s Beauty and Love for us.

Daily Mantra:

There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

Chat for the day: 

Well, it is Monday morning, and I am waiting for “Great Spirit” to chime in with a message for us today.  It seems there is so much in play in our world right now that I have to be very intentional about shutting out the noise so I can be in tune with what is coming through.  I guess this is the point for all of us this morning and perhaps Mondays are the hardest day to gather ourselves up and move into a new week.  We realize that there is probably a lot of things that we will need to attend to and wonder how we will get everything done and not be exhausted in the end.

 I think for some of us we really do too much thinking and too much planning.  Somehow, we have to get to a place where we learn that it is okay to not have “plans” written in stone so that we cannot take advantage of things that would enhance our life. if we were not wrapped up in our “precious plans” we might be able to have a more vibrant and exciting life experience.  We cannot be contained in just a one-dimensional existence.  There is more to us than that.  We were created for more than just existing and going through the motions of our habitual routines.  We have to venture into the unknown sometimes and see what we have the capacity to experience and learn.  We were created to be adventurous and discover as many mysteries of this world as possible.  So, my friends, let’s step out of our box of “super plans” and live a little or if you are brave enough- “Let’s live our big lives in a more free flowing modality.” 

The principle to live by that will support our destiny path is: learn to go with the flow!

    Breaking News!! It’s A New Day!!!  September 22nd, 2024- Day 40

    Today is a day that “Great Spirit” has ordained for your life and soul expression.

    Realize the value in taking the things on our “plate of to do’s”,
    one day at a time, one task at a time, one moment at a time.
    We only get done in a day what “Great Spirit” intended!

    Daily Mantra:

    There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

    Chat for the day: 

    Everyone experiences those times in their life when they are overwhelmed and overspent.  We have those moments where we feel we cannot catch our breath or see how in the world we are going to get back in balance and back on track.  What is this balance we are trying to have in our life?  What is the track we are trying desperately not to fall off of?   Who designed the elements that make up the rails of the track?  Is the track realistic?  Have we prioritized ourselves first, or last?  Are we taking into consideration that if we don’t do “care for self-first”, that we will never be able to do our “To Do List”?  

    We have a “destiny path” and we have a “Destiny Purpose”, and the things that go into manifesting these elements of our life, will rise up over the surface of the things that at times seem to infuse themselves into our path as a distraction or for another analogy, those annoying speed bumps, that cause us to have to slow down to prevent us from damaging our car.  We then have to evaluate, what street we are going to travel on to avoid the distraction and follow through with the things we have committed ourselves to. 

     We have to find ways to handle what can seem like, mountains instead of just speed bumps, so we can give our energy to the things we are committed to.  Step into that space where you and “Great Spirit” reside in relationship and allow “Great Spirit” to guide you and glide you effortlessly through the distractions so that you don’t get trapped into a feeling of being overwhelmed and “Stuck in the Muck”! 

    Stop what you are doing. 

    Step into that sacred space. 

    Ask for what you need.

    Let go and surrender to the Master Carpenter, cause “Great Spirit” can re-craft the scenario and release you from the stress.

    Breaking News!! It’s A New Day!!!  September 21st, 2024- Day 39                     Ain’t Got Time to be Idle!  I am Up so High I Can’t Come Down Cause I’m Do’in What I’m Called to Do!  How Bout’ You!

    Yep! I belong to them, and they belong to me! 
    Happiness is answering “Great Spirit’s” “CALL”!

    Today is a day that “Great Spirit” has ordained for your life and soul expression.

    Daily Mantra:

    There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

    Chat for the day: 

    When you have answered the “Call” for your destiny purpose, your life is joy filled because you are not drifting and unsettled in your life.  You can envision the possibilities for your life and plan how you will activate your talents to accomplish what is ahead of you.  It does not mean that you will be saved from challenges and that sometimes the unexpected will come your way to set you off our course.  But once you are fully engaged and committed to your “Call to Action”, trust me you will somehow find the tenacity to pursue the path before you.  The “Call” comes to us only when we are ready for it.  Remember too, that everything you need to do your “Work”- “Purpose”, you are already endowed with and every lesson you have encountered has been preparation for your “Destiny Journey”.  Be excited! Be curious!  Take the adventure of your life and be fully you and fully engaged. 

    The principle to live by that will support our destiny path is: Answering your destiny “Call”!

      Breaking News!! It’s A New Day!!! September 20th, 2024- Day 38

      Today is a day that “Great Spirit” has ordained for your life and soul expression.

      There is nothing that we can’t push through to get where we want to be!
      The road might be rough, and there are obstacles to climb but with our
      Relationship with “Great Spirit”

      Daily Mantra:

      There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

      Chat for the day: 

      It is really an amazing character trait to conduct your life from a place of being self-motivated.  Empowering yourself to take command of the destiny path you co-created with “Great Spirit”, supports your ability to chart the course you want to take on your “Divine Destiny Journey”.  You have within your power to use your gift of discernment and make choices.  The important element of the success in this process is that the passion and motivation to forge forward with your decisions must come from and through you. 

      No one else has the responsibility of igniting that spark of excitement and will power to manifest the things you want to accomplish in your life but “YOU”!  We have to tap into our “Soul energy” and use it as our fuel for life.  What we need is there, but sometimes so much is buried on top of it because of the challenges that have assaulted our life experience or the people and their actions in our life, that have stifled our belief in ourselves, that we have to dig ourselves out of the negative emotional pit and rise up on our own accord.  I believe when the human spirit is nurtured, loved, and respected, there is nothing we cannot do!

      The principle to live by that will support our destiny path is: stepping in my power to be self-motivated.

      Breaking News!! It’s A New Day!!!  September 17th, 2024- Day 35- Today is a day that “Great Spirit” has ordained for your life and soul expression.

      Kindness is innate when we are children,
      but it has to be nurtured so that it continues to be part of how we treat ourselves and others.

      Daily Mantra:

      There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

      Chat for the day: 

      We are all so consumed with trying to make it in this world that we forget to extend ourselves beyond what we think we have the capacity to do.  We forget to be kind to ourselves and if we are emotionally depleted, we have difficulty being kind and thoughtful of others.  We can be curt and distant withholding of our emotions that if expressed can be just the act of kindness someone needs.  It is amazing the feeling of joy that wields up in you when you see what your act of kindness does for someone.  It does not have to be big ovations of things that can bring a sense of joy and feeling loved and appreciated. 

      It is simple acts of genuine kindness and thoughtfulness being shared with someone else that is a reciprocal experience.  This human connection is the fuel that drives our lifeline of being a part of humanity.  We need each other.  We need kindness to quiet the flames of hatred and “isms”, that are plaguing our lives on so many fronts.  We need the gentleness and kindness to counteract the stuff that is tearing us apart.  We yearn for kindness in our interactions with one another.  We have the potential to be the agents of kindness in this world, we just have to show up for one another.

      The principle to live by that will support our destiny path is: kindness

      Breaking News!! It’s A New Day!!!  September16th, 2024- Day 34. Today is a day that “Great Spirit” has ordained for your life and soul expression.

      Celio is completely active in his life
      because that is what children do.
      How did we as adults,
      let this gift slip through our fingers!

      Daily Mantra:

      There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

      Chat for the day:

      Well, I asked my grandchild Celio what I should be writing about today in respect to “Breaking News- It’s a New Day”, especially since this blog is based on his greeting to us since he was 2 years of age. He told me to write to you about “Being active in your Life”! Wow I thought to myself! Something that seems so natural and automatic for human beings and yet, the more in depth I thought about it in relationship to how we are living our lives as adults, what must it look like to children. I think there is a difference in being busy in our lives in contrast to being active in our lives. When we are busy in our lives that is when we are on automatic pilot, going through our day handling all the important and sometimes trifling things that pop up to kidnap our attention and our ability to feel and reflect what we are doing and why we are doing the things we are engulfed in. When we are active in our life, we come from a place of being intentional about being present in the decision to respond, intentional on how we will respond, intentional on our expectations of how what we are doing is beneficial to ourselves and others, and intentional on evaluating if we have made the right decision.

      When we are active in our life, we are alive not just physically, we are alive spiritually and we feel the significance and see the beauty in our life.  We are better able to deal more effectively with stress because we operate in a way that we pace ourselves and realize that we don’t have to do everything that comes into the sphere of our life experiences, and that ultimately, “we only get done in a day what “Great Spirit” intended us to accomplish and experience on this “divine life’s journey”!  Oh, what a relief it is to approach life by being “actively alive and engaged in our life!  The quality of life when experienced with your soul expression is a totally different reality.  It can actually bring more joy and peace in every cell of your physical body.  Take hold of your life! Activate your ability to be in full expression of who you really are and how you want to live each day! It’s your life!!!!

      The principle to live by that will support our destiny path is: Being active and involved in our life.

      Just a day in the park!
      Today is a day that “Great Spirit” has ordained for your
      life and soul expression.

      Daily Mantra:

      There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

      Chat for the day: Sorry this is posted late, but it was my day in the park!

      This is a lazy day!  This is a day of rest, relaxation and reflection!  It is a day for getting some much-deserved coffee from our quiet intimate little café.  It is a day to go to the kid’s soccer games and order lunch to be delivered to the park.  It is a day to forget about laundry, cleaning house, and organizing for the week ahead.  Sometimes we just need to take of ourselves and do the things that make us feel good.  We get so absorbed in everything the world throws at us and we spend so much time in a “fight or flight” modality of living, that we at times cannot catch our breath.  Now is the time to infuse a day to carve out for fun and joy for our self and our loved ones.  It is time to get off the treadmill that has consumed our lives.

      Figuring out his next move!
      No matter what the circumstances we can
      overcome life’s challenges because we are “RESILIENT”.

      Daily Mantra:

      There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

      Chat for the day: 

      I had no choice but to write on resilience today because the word has been “at” me for two days!  When something “Great Spirit” is trying to get across to us, you better tune in!  So in terms of resilience, it is a crucial element to have in our “Tools for Life Box”, if we are to not only to survive, but to thrive and live our lives in some measure of peace and joy.  I am not kidding you when I say the word resilience in now haunting me.  I am looking at a French series and have to use the subtitles.  What comes blurring across the screen? You got it – “RESILIENCE”!!! so something must be at hand that we all need to attend to!  I believe that nothing is by chance but by design and if we manipulate or demean that “divine plan-blueprint for humanity” we lose our way. 

      We have areas in all of our lives that we need extra support with.  It helps when we have a family or community to engage with that can walk with us during the challenges that show up and take us off guard.  We are never going to be in keep control of every aspect of our lives, but we do have the power to be resilient, heal, and move forward in our lives.  We can not let people or things diminish our “souls light” which reflects our inner beauty and power.  Stand in your divine power and tenacity.  Be determined and intentional about your ability to protect yourself from the negative vibrations of others and the challenging ups and downs that try to distract you from what you know about yourself and your faith.  Dig into that big tools of life skills you were endowed with and pull out the elements that will carry you through all your life experiences. 

      You got this! And you are not alone!

      The principle to live by that will support our destiny path is: Resilience

      Breaking News!! It’s A New Day!!!  September 11th, 2024- Day 30 Today is a day that “Great Spirit” has ordained for your life and soul expression.

      What path will you choose, the path that was ordained as your “Divine Destiny Path”, or the “Path” that answers to your “ego”.

      Daily Mantra:

      There is nothing you do not have the potential of accomplishing and manifesting that are the true desires of your heart.  We are each entitled to live a full, joy filled, and purposeful life.  Take hold of who your “divine identity” is, and your “divine life’s destiny plan and journey and will bless you and the world will be blessed.

      Chat for the day:  So often we veer off the path of our “Divine Destiny Path” and allow our ego to overshadow our “Divine Purpose”.  We have to come to an understanding about who we are and who we need to be in order to be in full expression of our true identity.  We need our ego, but it must be in balance to the other elements of our identity.  When it is out of balance, we tend to make decisions that are not in our best interest and it takes off our “divine path” into uncharted waters that can infringe on our “divine purpose”. 

      Our ego has the power to restructure our “divine identity” to the point that we lose the authenticity of our “soul expression”.  The elders use to refer to this state of “over done ego”, as “being beside themselves”!  When the ego takes over there is a struggle to stay grounded, but we have the power and insight to know what we must do to keep it in “Check”.  Life is work isn’t it, but oh so worth the investment!

      The principle to live by that will support our destiny path is: Keeping my ego in check!
