As I feel more safe and secure within myself,
my relationships become more safe and secure.
As I trust myself and the choices I make,
my connections become more trustworthy.
The more faithful I am to myself,
the more my world reflects that fidelity.
As I honor myself,
my interactions in the world become honorable.
And I realize that the universe is an honorable place,
Of which I belong.

This is a beautiful piece of intuitive wisdom.

"The stunning revelation of connecting to who we are on the inside; how we feel, what we see when we pay attention to our inner world. How this discovery has a direct effect on our experience of our outer world. Living in both worlds with consciousness, is how we recognize the Flow in our life. Once you recognize Flow, you turn a switch on inside your world that now allows you to influence and increase your Flow. You have now become so much more, and the container of who you used to be is not large enough to hold you any longer."- The Flow Messengers

The Power Of One
One song can spark a moment,
One flower can wake the dream.
One tree can start a forest,
One bird can herald spring.

One smile begins a friendship,
One handclasp lifts a soul.
One star can guide a ship at sea,
One word can frame the goal.

One vote can change a nation,
One sunbeam lights a room.
One candle wipes out darkness,
One laugh will conquer gloom.

One step must start each journey,
One word must start each prayer.
One hope will raise our spirits,
One touch can show you care.

One voice can speak with wisdom,
One heart can know what's true.
One life can make the difference,
You see, IT'S UP TO YOU!

This was so beautifully said- sharing was required.

If you look in to a mirror and see your reflection...if your reflection's face is frowning, you don't go over to the mirror and try to make the reflection smile. You know the only way to get your reflection to smile is for you to decide to smile first. If you want to see the world from a different perspective- YOU are what is required to change.

How long before we can see the world from a different perspective with a collective consciousness?

"We are collectively ALL a part of Flow, intertwined and connected to each other no matter the distance. We all move and although the shores may offer different views we have a collective purpose. Imagine what will happen when we all move together..." The Flow Messengers

What a beautiful sunny day! Ever notice the sun shines on everything. It doesn't discriminate. It contributes to all living things, the planets and the cosmos continually and consistently. With this kind of contribution, all life gets to choose what it can receive...to flourish or perish, to be warmed or burned or to step out of the light. The choice is always ours. If “All That Is” is making the same contribution to you, what would you be willing to receive? What is possible as you are supported by all the stars in the universe as well as every atomic particle that exists?

“Flow provides us with everything we require, It only requires us to move. The choice of how we choose to move and with whom is ours”- The Flow Messengers

Thank you to WonderBob for today’s inspiration.

"Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't"- Margaret Thatcher

“No matter how powerful you think you are: power only begins with a thought…it is then followed by action which is fueled by desire, passion and purpose and another thought and more fuel. Thoughts may continue to arrive, they however are only markers to measure your distance traveled along the way. It is the feeling that creates the desire, passion and purpose that allows the action. Next time you are pondering whether you are strong enough or powerful enough to accomplish something, check in with your feelings, adjust as necessary, knowing that the feelings are what creates the fuel for the action to occur, moving you forward for the thought to evaluate your progress and eventual accomplishment that may then be expressed in words if you so choose.”- Julie O’Gara

“Flow has no limits. It includes all thoughts, actions and feelings. It is your choice and sequence of choices that determines your individual journey. What are you choosing today?”- The Flow Messengers


To a Day Fueled With Emotions,

What are you moving towards? Right now, in this moment, how would your life change if every one of your goals were realized? How would this affect you? Your loved ones? The World?

Sometimes, a shift in perspective, allows us a new space to touch the sense of meaning we require in our lives. Maybe, a little re-drafting of your goals to make them more positive or in alignment with new dreams that are a truer reflection of who you are and the values you hold nearest to your heart may be in order.

Your goals can anchor you in your life and help you find meaning. Often times your goals represent the individual you wish to become. When you create goals that are nurturing or beneficial to others as well as yourself, you extend your essence into everyone that is touched through your accomplishments. The Universe conspires on your behalf, the results of you achieving your goals has such far reaching effects and the ability to shift so many.

When designing goals, professional glory or financial success although rather evident and immediately in front of your view; are somewhat limited. When you incorporate others and a higher sense of purpose into your dreams, the vibration increases, and your goals are more visible to the higher realms. They are not shrouded in the individual energy, they are awash in a global light that shines collectively much brighter and signals to the Universe how strong your intentions are.
Consider significance when crafting your goals, your success then echoes deeply across all the levels of you, and directly touches the soul of your being.

So, gently, once again…what are you moving towards?

“Flow only has one rule-to move. Speed and direction are variables that we choose, consciously or not. Our alignment with our purpose and goals that support that purpose are course corrections. Knowing that you must move, what are you choosing to move towards?”- The Flow Messengers

Affirmation: In Every Step of Every Day, I Choose my Course. I know where I am going!

Bountiful Blessings,

Imagine for a moment that you are a young child and you are beginning a project. You have everything you can imagine to work with; crayons, markers, scissors, glue, pom poms, the stick on eyes that move, clay, dried up grass, popsicle sticks, wood blocks, glass beads, shells and you list goes on and on.

With so many choices, sometimes we forget that prior to creation, there is a feeling, and then a thought. Following the next feeling, another thought. As the thoughts and feelings come together we create. The "stuff" to build with is not how we create, we create with our imagination- inside- long before we experience the creation on the outside. Sometimes we move the creation from the inside to the outside and we continue our creation there as we try different things. This is where we are designing our life...on the outside, after we have created it on the inside.

As you look at your life...you may decide you want to create something different. You know the feeling that even though this is what you want to do- you don't automatically have a next thought on what you are suppose to do to have a different life? This is because you are attempting to design your life without creating it first. Then the only thing that changes is the outside, because the changes made on the outside only affect the outside. If you want real change you must go inside and create it first. Creating from the inside, automatically provides the opportunity to change the inside and the outside at the same time. So when you decide to design your life, the life you want and deserve- remember to create first!

"Flow has a divine order. While its direction may change, even reversing itself on occasion. The order is always divine and perfect. Sometimes our perspective is what requires the adjustment for understanding to occur"- The Flow Messengers

May you Witness the Divine Order of Flow in Your Life!

"View change as the one constant in your life. Welcome it. Expect it. Anticipate it."- Denis Waitley

Growing up, being aware of change was experienced one of two ways. The first, was pretty much from a position of unintentional non-awareness, as each day moved into another, there may have been gradual change, usually so subtle you didn't even notice that something was different. That was until you reached back in your memory banks to compare it to how something used to be before. The second way, typically involved a significant or drastic change that occurred in a very short space of time, with equally extreme consequences. So growing up, I learned to either not notice change, or to be flipped out and have my world turned upside down because of it.

Fast forward... adulthood. My two models of change hadn't changed much, until I started to watch other people and listen to other people's stories and realized that there might be a third or even a fourth alternative way to handle change. When growing up, I didn't have parents who had an alternative way to view and or handle change, therefore I learned what they knew (inherited belief by history).

As I have explored, usually consciously and with awareness to find a "different way" to experience change, quotes like the above one by Denis Waitley entered my life. Suddenly it was possible to view change as something that would always happen. Although I didn't require control of the change, it was suddenly empowering to know that I could acknowledge it, welcome it, expect it, anticpate it and even plan for it. Wow- I had stepped into a whole new world and perspective. Realizing that my childhood beliefs had really taught me to fear change, to feel I was subject to its whim and there was nothing I could do about it. I felt powerless and afraid of change.

Isn't it interesting how when we allow another's words, to move us ever so slightly, our entire experience of life may shift. This is what happened to me.

Every once in a while, I forget what I now know and get caught up in my childhood belief of feeling helpless and powerless. Through quotes like these, I am quickly reminded that my choice of how I handle change is also allowed to change...

"Remind yourself, that you define who you are every day- some days it will be very clear, others not so much. Within each day... remember you hold the power to change any of it."- Julie O'Gara

"Flow reminds us, we can travel in any direction we choose. However, when we attempt to return where we used to be, it requires an extraordianry amount of effort, not only to get there, but also to remain. If we are meant to return to a vision of the past, Flow will take us there by moving us forward, not backwards."- The Flow Messengers

Welcome, Expect, Anticpate & Plan for Change!
