I am a beacon of light in an ever increasingly friendly world of love and support. I also recognize other beacons of light and enjoy being around them and feeling the warmth and direction that comes from them. I enjoy interacting with everyone that comes in to my space and expect to expand and learn from each person and each situation. I speak my truth quickly, knowing that it is simply my truth. I know that the light and direction within is divine and is implicitly trustworthy. My words and my actions are always in harmony with each other. I do what brings me joy in each moment, knowing that life is about joy and love. I love myself and others, and actively forgive and see the best in all of us. Namaste is a way of being for me and I actively act from, and seek out that spot in each of us, from which we know who we are.
I speak my truth as it occurs. I speak with love and compassion (both for myself and others), knowing that the consequences will be perfect. I speak directly to those that are involved and listen intently to them. I feel the great satisfaction of knowing the integrity of my communication and my true thoughts. Other people admire me for speaking my mind, even when it doesn’t agree with their feelings. People enjoy being around me and know that whatever I say to them I will also say behind their back. People trust me implicitly.
I constantly find ways to support myself, my wife, and my daughters in living more closely to our vision of who we are. I support each of us in our own vision of who we are. I acknowledge the power of individual direction and ask question rather than giving answers. I know that each of us have our own answers within and the greatest support I can be is to ask empowering questions and assist them in finding their answers. My personal answers come quickly and effortlessly as I love and accept myself, and listen inside.
I fine tune my intuition. I trust my intuition. I act, speak, and play on my intuition and inner direction. I know that in the future I will see the wisdom of the taken action. It feels good to be at peace with myself and know that no matter what anyone else thinks, I am in integrity and am authentically who I know myself to be. WOW!
I enjoy my morning and evening routines and experience great peace and satisfaction from them. I take time in the morning for me. I spend at least 5 minutes in one of my joyfully forms of meditation. I feel centered and ready to face whatever opportunities will come my way today. At night, before going to bed I look in to my caring blue eyes and express gratitude and satisfaction with the day. It feels good to be ending the day honoring myself, others and all that has gone on.
I write in my journal at least twice a week and share most of those posts in my blog. I know that all of what I write will be of benefit to someone. All of my writings help me to think clearer and tap in to that universal truth. My willingness to be vulnerable and express my feelings serves others as well. Many people have had similar experiences and benefit from me speaking them. They also value the solutions I find. I become a beacon of hope for others. I like that I am able to help others. That being said, I’m also clear that my job is to help them ‘remember who they are’ and help them find their own answers. I derive incredible joy from seeing others find their answers, whether they look like my answers or not.
I am enough. I am grateful for all in my life. I forgive myself for erroneous thinking and playing small. I embrace who I am and play 100%. I am a unique part of the universe. I accept my gift and freely share it with the world. I love and accept myself as I see myself right now. I love and accept others as I see them right now. I AM LOVE!

Thanks for sharing your visions with me. I think visions allow us to get out of crisis mode and begin speaking words of hope and courage. When we believe in the power of our vision, when we speak our vision into being, with words of hope and love, we have a gleam in our eyes and lightness in our hearts. Encouragement is the power to save not only our future but our selves. Holding a vision for us to grow into, embraces our power to create a livable future.
A vision that re-describes reality and adjusts our vision, like the kind that you have created, has the power to end the ideas of the self-centered, self satisfied crazy mind that clings to its false truth about being under resourced, rejected, lacking strength, lacking wisdom, without family, left to fend for themselves, and impotent in the face of death. A vision has the power to end the world that the mind has created out of these limiting beliefs.
A world where I have been so wrapped around the axle of the circumstances demanding my attention that I have felt bit like the tin Man, who looks like a person but is hollow on the inside.
A world where life where: life seems to be nothing more than one battle after another. Sometimes it's a battle just to survive and I don't know how I am going to make it. Sometimes it is a battle to take one more step forward. A world where purpose and passion are lost; the needs of others have been allowed to overwhelm me. A world in which I have found myself sleep deprived, overscheduled, and neglectful of my health, my spouse, my friends and my spirit.
In times like those the lofty goals which were once my beacon and destination and motivation have vanished beneath the fog of working, living, and then working some more. I started down a road of settling for less and less in my life. Circumstances have tightened and choked the wind out of my lungs. Instead of fighting to keep the fire inside me alive, I have are allowed the embers to die by becoming addicted to a life without dreams, without hope. I have at times resigned myself to live my life in ways that are far beneath my potential and character; to an existence without dreams, to living in a parched desert of indifference where nothing can grow. I have found myself in places where I have stopped giving, so I stop getting back... I have in times like these forgotten to remember Gods vision for my life.
"Abide in love, live in joy." Jn 15:9 What a great vision for our lives. A vision that energizes challenges and inspires. Yet how easily and often do we choose to dwell on the promises of culture. Far too often our dreams and visions are shaped by the false security of the illusions of what we think we possess. Too often the content of our dreams and visions are little more than 3D TV sets, and Talking Elmo Dolls.
Feeling and looking good are important -- But beneath the cosmetics, the hair cut, the nice threads, the job, salary, family, and cat; beneath all of the layers of our activities, commitments, leisure and work is a soul. Beyond the wall to wall carpet, the viral videos, the internal chatter of the mind, is the souls desire for happiness which will not be satisfied by money, sex, power, better sex, chocolate or mind blowing sex. "Over the margins of life comes a whisper, a faint call, a premonition of richer living which we know we are passing by." --Thomas Kelly The fire of the soul cannot be extinguished, it wants to go beyond the story of I am hurt and sad, and something is wrong with me, it wants to go beyond fears and doubts, it wants to wake up, to be conscious of pure love and the joy that attends pure love.
"Abide in love, live in joy." Jn 15:9
Abiding is not an American ideal. We know about exploring, pushing farther, achieving, moving on, improving ourselves. We are raised on iconic images of pioneers --building a cabin on the prairie, and moving on, taking it to the next level, the metaphor of "journey" is the current prevailing image of what spirituality means.
To a seeker mentality, "abiding" can sound more like "sit down and shut up," rather than an invitation to rest. In a world of extreme mobility, it is precisely those whom abide that should be most capable of welcoming wandering spiritual seekers.
How it is that we abide (meaning to settle in with, to remain constantly and continuously) in love? An image for joy is "a deep, deep well". This is a source of joy which continues to provide sustenance and peace despite what ever might be happening on the surface. These waters are never affected by life's daily changing scenes. For me this is truly abiding. We are God’s children in the world; to bear the Christ consciousness is to abide in the Spirit and embody the presence of love and joy.
“It is necessary for a soul to grow and be enlarged until it is capable of containing God within itself. But the dimensions of a soul are in proportion to its love.
Love, then, is the measure of the soul. Souls are large that love much, small that love little; as for the soul that has no love at all, such a soul is itself nothing. Without love, says Paul, I am nothing.” --Saint Bernard
“Hope is hearing the melody of the future. Faith is to dance to it.” --Rubem Alves

May you experience the extravagant dimensions of your own love; and experience ever more deeply: a full life, full of peace, full of joy and full of bliss.
