Courtesies at the Laundromat

I actually love being at the laundromat (especially if its quiet with no television).

It provides some time for quiet study, in a productive atmosphere.

The people there are ordinary folks.

Some are travelers with big motor homes.

Most are locals.

Everyone is there for the same purpose, just doing their laundry.

A family came in at the same time I did.

The dad stopped and made sure I got through the door with them.

Later, when I was leaving with my folded laundry, he requested one of his children to hold the door for me.

Courtesies define us and lift us up.

I appreciate them every where they happen.

Restoring Love

Whatever I appear have lost, the Universe Who Loves Me is restoring it.

All things are possible.

There is great love for me now.

There is a Universe Who Loves Me, and everything within it also loves me.

We are all part of the love of the Universe.

When we express it towards each other, we acknowledge that it exists for everyone.

There is really no excuse not to express love.

There is an Unlimited Source of love, and we can express it at any time.

Kindness is always in style.

There is always room for more kindness and love.

There are always little ways to express appreciation and consideration.

This is the appropriate way to act in any and every situation.

Impression and Release

Someone I knew in the past made a deep impression on me.

Their view, their opinion, often feels stronger than my own.

My conviction that I acted in both our best interests never wavers, although I wish circumstances could have been different.

I know that the course which was changed by my actions is having a good effect.

I release myself into Now.

Plan for Abundance

Despite your paycheck or even your lack of financial knowledge, you can still plan for abundance.

Early in my prosperity studies, I noted the language of abundance.

I began looking for ways to express prosperity and abundance.

I looked at ways I could give and began acting on them.

I looked at everyone else in terms of their expression of abundance.

I replaced old patterns of thought with new ones of abundance and prosperity.

It became more and more of a habit with me to replace negative patterns of though with abundant ones.

I began to ascribe abundance and prosperity to everyone I saw or met.

Later, as I continued my study, I began listening more deeply for my abundant purpose.

That has led to my product lines and a real sense of joy when I work on them, and a deeper listening for their release.

I continue to replace any negativity that comes up for any reason whatsoever.

That is putting me in touch with my abundance and allowing me to live more richly all along the way.

Holiday Definitions

Do not let the holidays tell you who you are, or who you are not.

Each day has good messages for us if we look for them in the right place.

The good messages come to us from within.

When we can sit quietly and regulate our breathing gently, the noise of our and other opinions will die away.

Then we can hear the quiet and the peace which let us feel who we really are.

We can step outside at a gathering to do this.

We can do it before a gathering.

Most challenging - and I am really working on this - we can do it during a gathering.

I am finding an image which sometimes comes to me in the quiet of this meditative process - a very good thing to call to mind.

That seems to give me back my own presence of mind, instead of reacting to the swirl of emotions around me.

Who and Where I Am

There is no separate “me”.

I am an individualized entity within the Universe, companioned by all the Universe has to offer.

When I run into a friend or someone who “clicks”, we are recognizing something like ourselves.

When I meet someone new or have a new experience, the Universe is sending me evidence of Its immense variety and power.

I am never alone and yet I am companioned by thoughts, events, experiences, quietness.

I am not separate, I am held, beheld, beloved, included.

I live in rich surroundings full of the Universe’s tender and beautiful creation.

I live gently there, loved, cherished, adored, provided for and nurtured.

When You Can't Work Small

I am so grateful for overriding organizational principles.

Whatever I am doing will always fit.

“Whatever blesses one, blesses all.”

“One ness, through interdependence.”

“Every child is precious.”

“Unlimited good through comes through investing in our own thoughts.”

When I put a project together and begin drawing resources together for it, the guiding strength comes from a principle such as one of the above.

Then a sequence becomes apparent, and materials get ordered and organized and assembled and distributed in such a way to carry out the principle.

Know this will happen every time, leads me to invest my thought in the study of spiritual principles so that my work will have its farthest and most effective outreach.

Patience Keeps Me From Temptation

Letting things develop in their own time shows me the power that is running the Universe.

I want to rush ahead with what I see.

But patience forces me to let the Universe fulfill Its complete view.

The Universe is taking care of everyone, everything.

It is putting everything in order, in Its own time.

I am serving a part in the Universe’s order.

When I see myself that way, things flow gently, smoothly.

They fit together.

I keep learning to let the Universe move me in Its way instead.

Then I am not tempted to do things my way.

Loving the Commonalities

I am loving the oneness we all have.

I am loving the commonalities.

I love following issues that are important to me and sharing comments with fellow readers.

It makes me realize what we all have in common.

Polls show how large groups of people think of certain issues.

They draw a picture of unity, oneness, values, opinions.

People care for one another.

We support each other.

We agree on saving the earth.

We agree on building community.

We agree on taking care of our children.

We agree on healthy food security.

We are in so much agreement, it is exciting to see how this will all shape our lives.
