Consciously Creating Your Day and Truly Living it

"This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it" 

~ Psalm 118:24

If you had just discovered that today was the last day of your life how would you choose to live it out? Who or what kind of people would you choose to be around to spend the last few precious hours of your life with? What kind of thoughts would you keep? What memories would you choose to focus on in your final hours? What experiences from your past would you want to recall in your mind to hold on to that impacted your life the most?

Would you waste the last twenty four hours of life dwelling on all the negative things from your past? Or would you choose to use your final hours more wisely by resolving to clean your emotional house through forgiveness of all ills of the past and opening your heart to fully experience and express love again one last time?

Well, why wait until the last day of your life to do all the above. Why continue going through your day being pushed, pulled, reacting to and ingesting whatever is thrown at you from your external environment? This doesn't have to be your reality anymore. You have the power within you now to consciously create the kind of day you desire to experience. And it all starts by consciously choosing what you want to see, experience and feel about your day regardless of what happens around you or what anyone says or does to you.

Another way to set your best day in motion and truly living it is by controlling what goes into your consciousness from the first moment the day starts. For example, instead of turning on the tv or radio before you even brush your teeth or have your coffee, try taking a few minutes after waking up to sit still, be quiet and get centered. Even the holy scriptures tells us in Isaiah 30:15, "In quietness and in hope shall be your strength".

So tomorrow when you wake up, try being still for a few minutes. Listen to the small voice of your spirit whispering words of wisdom to your soul. Connect with the vibration of love in your heart center. Focus on the rhythm of each breath you take. As you inhale and exhale allow the feeling of gratitude to permeate your entire body. Embrace the realization that you are experiencing the presence and power of God in each breath of life you breathe. Close your physical eyes and consciously visualize how you want your day to unfold by first seeing it unfold as you desire through your minds eye. Then release that vision and the desired outcome of your day to the universe. Go on about your day trusting in the divine process to work out all the details in a perfect way.

Why continue coming home at the end of the day frustrated by people and things outside of you. Choose to no longer allow things outside of you, and your thoughts about how you feel about what's happening outside of you, to dictate whether your day is good or bad. Decide for yourself how you wanna feel about your day by deciding the kind of day you want to have from the moment the day begins.

 After all, every creation starts as a thought visualized in the mind before manifesting in the physical.  Yet, for those who may think this sounds like a bunch of metaphysical mumble jumbo. Remember, the highest creation ever manifested began as a thought in the divine mind of God. That  most powerful divine thought I'm referring to was manifested in the physical expression as the human race, which includes you and me.

With that said, I invite and encourage you to take a listen to the short video excerpt attached below of an online seminar by spiritual enlightenment teacher and author,  JZ Knight, for more insight on, Consciously Creating your Day and Truly Living it. Then go create the kind of day that will bring the most peace, love, joy, honor and fulfillment to yourself and those around you. While your at it, embrace the goodness of the day as if it was the last day of your life. See it...believe it...achieve it!




Until next time...I surround you in Love & Light! So remember to keep your love light on.

Dare to Stretch Your Faith: A 40 Day Challenge That Will Transform Your Life

Although I have many things in my life for which I deeply appreciate and feel grateful for, I have to admit that I'm still not yet where I'd like to be. Nor do I feel I'm expressing at the level of all that I know I have the potential to become. Truth is, no matter how much we accomplish or how much older we get, as long as we are still alive and on the journey of  this human experience there is always room for growth. There is always more we can learn to help us evolve to the next level of spiritual awareness to become a better version of ourselves.

There is always room for us to learn how to love more deeply and unconditionally. We can always learn how to be more compassionate and express more patience with ourselves and others. There is always room to over come some fear we're secretly struggling with that's blocking us from achieving a goal, realizing a dream or living at the level of spiritual awareness we would like to be at. We can always learn how to experiencing a greater level of joy and happiness in our lives. And no matter how spiritual we may consider ourselves to be, there is always room to stretch our faith a little bit more. I know this all rings true for me. If any of this sounds like you too then this Inspirational Love Note is written just for you. 

Attached below is prayer of faith from one of my favorite books in my personal library, Until Today! Daily Devotions for Spiritual Growth and Peace of Mind, by Bestselling Author, Inspirational Speaker, New Thought Spiritual Teacher and TV Personality, Iyanla Vanzant. I have been using this prayer for the few days during my daily prayer and meditation time and have already seen results in my life. In addition, I have been led in my spirit to take a challenge of  faith by continuing to say this prayer for the next 40 days and see how God proves Himself by helping me grow in my faith and transform my life from the inside out.

I invite you join me on this journey to greater faith and life transforming experience by committing to take this 40 day faith challenge as well. It's easy! And it only takes about 5 minutes of your time every morning and every night with potential results that I'm sure will prove to be well worth your time and effort.

Just use the prayer I've shared with you below, by Iyanla Vanzant, and say it every morning upon awaking and every night before retiring to bed for the next 40 days. Beware however, this prayer is a very powerfully written prayer. And as with any prayer for transformation in your life, if you say it with conviction believing in your heart to see results, things may suddenly appear to go wrong in your life circumstances. If this should happen, don't stop doing the prayer.

In fact, that is the moment you should dig your heels in deeper and continue the prayer with even greater conviction of heart because that is sign it is working. Whenever begin doing spiritual work that stretches us beyond our comfort zones and moves us to a new level of personal growth and development, there is often the appearance of chaos just before the new order sets it. Another way of  conveying this concept is the old saying, it's always the darkest just before the dawn.

So hang in there because should you take this challenge it's important that you stay committed and not break the 40 Day chain of thought, as it takes 40 days for the spiritual transformation to be completed. And there are various ways that transformation may take form in your life. It may be a mental transformation where you begin change your perception about a person or situation in your life for the better. Or an emotional transformation compelling you to forgive something or someone where your unforgiveness has been keeping you blocked or holding you back from receiving your own blessings and greater good.

It may also come in the form of a transformation in a long standing health situation you've been praying to see turned around. Or a relationship transformation you've desired to see mended and have harmony between you and the other person involved restored. Then of coarse it may be a physical transformation in the form of a job you've been in need of suddenly manifesting. Or a breakthrough with a goal or dream you've been waiting to see materialize finally start to move forward showing signs of success. My point is, there is a myriad of ways God can prove Himself and transform your life through your commitment to taking this 40 Day challenge to stretch your faith.

Remember, when you take one step toward God, He will take two steps toward you. So consider your commitment to taking this 40 Day Faith Challenge one very big step toward God on your behalf.

I'm excited to take this challenge with you. I'm also looking forward to hearing from you and sharing with you all the wonderful life transforming changes that I'm expecting to see unfold in my life and yours as we take the next 40 days to stretch our faith together. You can share your comments and feedback on the transformations that begin to occur in your life as a result of taking this challenge either here on my blog or in my Inspirational Poems & Love Notes group page on FaceBook if you're already signed up as a member there. Don't forget, as with anything in life, it only works if you work it.

Prayer of Faith:

"I now call the activity of the Holy Spirit into every cell, every tissue, every organ of my being. I invite the Holy Spirit to lovingly transform every energy, every belief, every idea, every understanding, every decision, every expectation, every judgment, every motivation and every behavior, bringing them into alignment with the perfect will of God, so that I may take the next step toward the divine plan for my life.

The Spirit of a Trooper

A Poem Tribute To My Late Cousin:
 Vincent E. Lang

Sunrise - May 4, 1959   Sunset - August 18, 2013

My cousin was trooper…

And nothing less,

An extraordinary being who continued

to give his best,

while overcoming more than his fair share

of life’s most challenging test.

My cousin was a trooper…

I tell you no lie,

And all the fond memories I have of him

makes it hard to say good-bye.

For he was more than just another

cousin you see…

He was a man who lived a life of integrity,

with a beautiful soul and the kindest personality.

One of my favorite cousins he was to me,

who I was proud to call my family.

My cousin was a trooper…

There’s no doubt in my mind,

Not an ordinary trooper…

one in a million…one of a kind.

Through all his long-suffering I never

knew him to complain.

Where most people would have given up

somehow he was able to maintain…

a spirit of faith, hope & love,

despite his long journey of declining health

and much enduring pain.

So in exchange for his attitude of gratitude,

and positive prospective toward life,

God sent him a triple blessing

all rolled up as one...

A guardian angel in the form of his

care-taker, friend & wife.

Yes my cousin was a trooper...

To that I can attest,

And the flag in my heart now

flies at half-staff

As we lay him to his final rest.
