Think On These Things...

I came across this video the other day at The Ordinary Mystic.


It speaks to the recent studies about the Power of Intention. Loving intention is proven to be a powerful, life~affirming force. It can take the form of loving thought, directed desire, focused prayer, and purposeful action.

It is important to note that we can direct this loving intention to others. There are so many people who can benefit from our intervention and intercession. To intercede, according to Webster, means "1. to plead or make a request on behalf of another 2. to intervene for the purpose of producing agreement; mediate". When we align ourselves with the Highest Good on behalf of someone else, when we agree, some remarkable things can happen.

We are wholly connected to each other and when we acknowledge this connectedness and align ourselves in Love, we become one with Divine Love. Divine Love is unconditional, embraces us at our point of need, and has the Power to restore us to our full potential and rightful place in this Abundant Universe. When we open our hearts and our hands in Love, it comes back to us in full measure. There is more than enough Love to go around. And good things follow in its footsteps.

Where there was lack, there is now Provision.
Where there was despair, there is now Hope.
Where there was brokenness, there is now Healing.
Where there was bad news, there is now a Good Report.
Where there was loneliness, there is now Love.
Where there was strife, there is now Peace.

It may not happen in an instant, but when we begin shift our focus and activate the Power of Loving Intention, we plant the seeds for miracles to grow. When seeds are planted we expect them to grow, don't we?

In closing, I'd like to leave you with these words from the Good Book:
"Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and anything praiseworthy ~ think on these things."


If we change our thoughts, just imagine the possibilities...

Thank You, Blue Ribbon Bloggers

The Blue Ribbon Bloggers have asked me to join them. It is an honor to be here and to be counted among them!

I could give you a life story...but I won't. Suffice it to say, as Bill Cosby once said, "I started out as a child..." And the rest is history. No, just kidding.

I prefer to talk with you, not at you, and not about me. I am part of a larger whole, a bigger Plan, in which you are included. I enjoy the sense of Community here. I am blessed to know many of you, if only through your writing, yet writing can reveal so much about a person. Real people live behind these blogs. Real people who have some great insights, deep feelings, and worthy words of wisdom. Real people who know the ups and downs of life just like we all do. Real people who know the meaning of life and love and fun.

I look forward to the year ahead. If the last few days are any indication of how the year will go, I know it's going to be full of wonder~full surprises and dreams come true! I want to leave you with a little acronym I created a while ago: F.O.C.U.S. ~ Focus On Creating Unprecedented Success! It's well within your reach. With God's help, all things are possible. Go for it!
