Hi Everyone,
I’ve made a decision.
Most of us know that negative attitudes keep us down and positive attitudes lift us up. And I have been struggling with my desire to grow my business, be domestic, homeschool, grow myself, and never seem to have enough time to do it all. I’ve asked myself where can I have more time and there’s not much leeway. I have complained in my mind and out loud a several times over the past several months. But I’ve been trying not too because I’ve been trying to break myself of that limiting mindset. I’ve been trying to figure out how to break free of feeling overwhelmed and still be able to get everything done that I want, need, and should.
As a child of God, I am a cocreator in His plan. Because of God’s Love, I am given free will and the power of choice. So I have decided, rather, I have chosen that I will have it all. 
God wants me to know abundance, so ok, I accept. I will be true to who I am and as God guides me. If He has put into my heart that I want to do all these things, then I will. God does not make a path for me that I cannot travel (Ephesians 3:20). So I have the full support of God’s Love to help me. My dominating thoughts on the matter are no longer “I don’t see how I can do this”, but now they are “Ok, Lord. What’s next? I feel drawn this way, so lead the way and show me how it’s done.”
I have reframed my perspective. In doing so, I no longer feel “can’t” but instead feel “Yes, I can.” With which attitude do you think I’m going to be more efficient, productive, and happier? Can you apply similar principles to something going on in your life? What recurring negative thoughts do you have that you might be able to reframe?
Call on God’s Love to guide you how to reframe something and let it become a liberating and empowering experience. After all, if you knew how to rise above your challenge, you would have already done so. God knows what you need. Call on our Lord and know that because of God’s Love, you will be heard and answered, although not necessarily in the way you may expect. Be open and trust. Let yourself be open to listening to the Truth held in God’s Love.
Remember, Love is all that matters and God’s Love is all that we want. 
Opening yourselves to that will bring you more of what you want.
I say yes to that. What do you say?
Blessings,
Irene

Hi Everyone,
So epiphanies do happen for me in the shower sometimes, although it’s not the most common setting for my epiphanies. But this one flowed on through me this morning during shower time.
Just set your intent, and then let it happen.
This makes great sense and I’m sure it’s true, although I’m still learning the depth of its truth. If we let ourselves be true to His Spirit within us, then all His power is there to support us. If we set our intent on making the world a better place, and our heart is in the right place, then nothing can stop us because we have His full support. We do our part and God will do His, allowing us to ride His Hand as we develop our destiny.
To let it happen has nothing to do with allowing oneself to be taken advantage of or abused. It has to do with trust. When we trust in God’s Love and His process for us, then life flows. Even the challenging times show grace and His Hand in so much around and within us. Trust is that knowing that it’s safe to be open to God’s Love. And that it’s not only safe, but all that we want is to say yes and be open to God’s Love because being open to God’s Love is being open to receiving all of God’s graces and abundance.
And that trust includes trusting ourselves. As His Spirit is within us, we are infinitely connected with our Divine Lord. Opening ourselves to Him means being one with our Lord, and thus we can trust our decisions and ourselves. The key is remembering to be open to listening to His guidance, and having the pure intent of doing what is right in the name of Love.
Simple.
Not necessarily easy.
But we can do it.
Just set the intent to do so.
And then we can watch and live the miracles of God’s Love in our lives.
Blessings,
Irene

I opened an email from a friend yesterday that contained a spiritual sharing. One of the things that it mentioned was that the word Amen translates into “yes”. I did not know this. I felt it powerful and decided that I wanted to explore/meditate on this “sometime soon”. As usual, other things took up my time and I forgot about it.
But everything happens for a reason. (Thank you, Lord.) And even though I don’t know all the lessons of this one yet, I love how God works.
Tonight I began to write about something else but was having trouble letting it flow. Ok, I’ll ask God for guidance and pulled out my Bible, said a prayer, and randomly opened a page where I felt drawn to do so. I was drawn to 2 Corinthians 1:18-22, where it talks about how the word Amen means yes.
Ok, I get it. Time to mediprayer on this NOW. Cool.
So I did and here’s how I connected.
It is a word of miracles. It is the word of acceptance. When we say yes to God’s Love and His plan, we are being open to all that He wants to provide for us which is all the abundance and Truth that His infinite Love provides. By letting Jesus’s Love into our hearts, we learn who we truly are. “Yes” is about being true to the nature that God destined us to be. Saying yes to God is being the manifestation of the glory of God, because then there is nothing that can stop us from being just that.
Nelson Mandela said in his beautiful poem that we are here to manifest the glory of God.
Sounds like “Yes” is the greatest adventure of all.
And I’ll say Amen to that too. 
Blessings,
Irene
