We have all heard it before… ‘happiness is an inside job’. 🙂 And we can never be reminded enough.

We are more powerful than we can even imagine. We just need to own it!

Miracles & Moments

Maggie Holbik, Offering Inspiration for Living Freely and in JOY!

“Miracles come in moments. Be ready and willing.” Dr. Wayne Dyer

I am forever amazed at the miracles in life. These are the moments that I say ‘move me’ but when I think about it, it is more so the ones that stop me in my tracks and take my breath away. 🙂

And these are usually simple things. I might be looking for something and as I say it in my head ex. “Where are my glasses?”.. and my eyes land upon them.

My favorite miracles are the ones I witness every day in nature. The perfect shape of a maple leaf. The soft edges and smoothness of the rocks that I pick up on my beach. And the fact that every day there are new ones rocks and new miracles! Gifts and miracle galore!

A picture that I took of pebbles on the beach and a perfect maple leaf lying in the middle of the pebbles.

Today is Thanksgiving for my American friends and family and what a perfect time to be thankful for the miracles in life.

We have been in turbulent times but the true beauty of it all, is that we are remembering about the things that matter and the miracles in life.

YOU my friend, are a MIRACLE. The gift of your eyes reading my blog post is a gift to me! And I honor that gift and the miracle of you. Thank you.

Happy Thanksgiving to all and I hope that each and everyone who reads these word will take time today to appreciate the miracles before them.

Blessings

Maggie

P.S. As a side note, when I was going to go look for pictures for this blog post ie. a rock one and a maple leaf one, I remembered that I had the perfect picture! I took this one and it actually placed in a photo contest for a 2002 calendar…. and it is the featured picture for November, 2020 and is open to this page on my wall right now!!! Ha ha ha. I just found this so funny and another sign of a miracle… it was right there in front of me the whole time!!!!!

EnJOY the Moments

Oh, the moments in life. They go so fast do they not? The sweetness comes when we can be present in every moment and do so with an open heart that is a conduit to both give and receive love and kindness. My friends, I wish you all many lovely moments. I love you all!

Handling Dilemmas In Your Life

Maggie Holbik, Offering Inspiration for Living Freely and in JOY!

“When faced with a dilemma, take a moment to sit with the issue. Don’t rush to decide what to do. Intend to let Divine inspiration flow to you, and it will be so.”

Christiane Northrup, M.D.

We All Face Challenges & Dilemmas

Let’s face it, we all have to face challenges and dilemmas in our lives.

I have learned that the less that I ‘push through’ but more so that I allow things to flow toward a solution, the easier I handle dilemmas. Just like a river flows over and around debris and obstacles, so it is for us in the earthly world as spiritual beings.

Trust is one of my favorite words and forces. I trust that things will work out and that solutions to dilemmas will present themselves. And when I trust and I believe this to be true, it happens. 

I use TRUST as a verb and I expect good outcomes. This is what creates the natural flow to solutions.

So the magic formula is to drop resistance or another way to say this is to stop arguing with what is.

Next is to use trust as a verb and trust that things will work out and that solutions will present themselves.

And lastly, believe. Believe that things are always working out for your highest good because when you believe it, it is true for you. Very simple.

And never forget that life really is this:

“It’s all make-believe”

So with that said, I for one, make-believe in my story that things work out for me. I use MAKE -BELIEVE as a verb also.  Something to think about.

Have a great day everyone!

World Kindness Day – Do These Two Things Today! ♥

Maggie Holbik, Offering Inspiration for Living Freely and in JOY!
World Kindness Day 2020

Today is world kindness day and here are two ideas for you for today.

#1 – Be Kind to Yourself! ♥♥♥

The world needs more kindness right here and right now and it starts in this moment. The first thing to do, is to be kind to yourself. Do whatever you need to do to show yourself kindness right now.

Tell yourself that you love yourself, you forgive yourself, you appreciate yourself, you adore yourself, you have compassion for yourself, or whatever comes to mind that is kind. Just do it!

It is very, very important for us to activate the vibration of kindness within ourselves because it not only helps us but it helps and heals the entire planet and all of the beautiful people who are our brothers and sisters.

And remember the beautiful quote from the late Ram Dass, “We are all just walking each other home”. So let’s walk in kindness I say. 🙂

#2 – Reach Out & Be Kind to Someone Else! ♥♥♥

Right now reach out to someone and show them an act of kindness. Send them a message, make a phone call, or give someone a hug and tell them you love them. It does not matter what act of kindness you do, just do something.

I often think of the stories you hear where one small act of kindness changed someone’s day or even sometimes saved their life! Whether it was a random smile from a stranger of someone helping someone at a time of need. It all counts and every act of kindness is a HUGE act of kindness.

So go right now and don’t wait another second .... go and do that act of kindness to brighten someone’s day. It will affect both you and them.

And may we remember today and everyday moving forward that every act of kindness is indeed a HUGE act of kindness.

Picture of a pair of hands holding the world and my quote: “Every act of kindness is a HUGE deal!”

The Angels are Here NOW!

Maggie Holbik, Offering Inspiration for Living Freely and in JOY!

Today is 11:11:2020, and it is a powerful day for manifestation.

Lately I have been sharing a bit around how I am feeling that a HUGE shift is happening and signs are everywhere to confirm all of this.

On Monday of this week I saw the most vibrant rainbow that I have ever seen. It was so big and so close that it was impossible to capture the entire thing in one picture. And it was also a double rainbow!

Here is a snip of it and of course the picture does not do it justice.

Now the extra cool sign that came today was the result of a new online summit I am in, called the “21-Day Angel Adventure” with Lorna Byrne where we got to meet our guardian angel, and we did get to do that yesterday! 🙂

Anyway, in our Facebook this morning, one of the members shared this wonderful post and it was an AMAZING sign for all of us and I am sure it will be for you too!

Here is what Abhishek, one of our members shared with us:

“So, I was on my terrace, watching the video replay, and asked the angels for an irrefutable sign. I looked up at the sky toward my right, and saw a cloud-formation that somewhat looked like an angel. But not so well defined.

I told my angels… “Nah! That would not do, I need a sign that is obvious, a sign that I simply cannot deny!”

The next moment I turned my head and looked at the sky to my left, and when I saw this, I was left speechless.

I want to add that apart from these wings-shaped clouds, the sky was cloudless. This formation seemed to appear out of nowhere.”

Are those not amazing signs? I sure think so!

And it gets better, when I went to look at this post in the group this is what I saw so I took a screenshot.

Now if you know me you know I love the number 333 especially. I believe that when we see this number, we are getting extra support from the divine so it was perfect for me to see this!

I hope that you are as inspired by this siting as much as I was and I am so thankful that Abhishek allowed me to share these pictures with you.

A Mindset Shift on Making Decisions

Maggie Holbik, Offering Inspiration for Living Freely and in JOY!
Picture of dart board with 3 red darts in the center with the quote “Make decisions from where you are going not from where you are at now”. Allison Matson

I heard this quote today and I love it. It reminds me of don’t look behind you, because you are not going that way!

This is what I love about Life Coaching as well. It is about helping clients to move into the future of their choosing.

My quote on Life Coaching “A coach fills a new need, that is different from the role of a consultant, an advisor or a a therapist. And the role of a coach is to move you into the future of your choice”. Maggie Holbik

Our best life story has not been created yet. I hope you fully embrace the idea of making decisions from a place that you are moving toward.

Have a great day everyone!

Start Every Day with this Song~

Maggie Holbik, Offering Inspiration for Living Freely and in JOY!

I have a good friend named Paul Luftenegger. We met through Facebook and I can’t say enough about Paul or his music. My life has changed for the better since meeting Paul and I am forever grateful to Facebook for this gift. And of course to the divine orchestration that occurred to make this happen. 🙂

This morning I took time to watch and listen to one of his music videos of a song he wrote called “Universal Love”.

I can’t watch and listen to this video without being moved to tears. It makes my inner being remember that nothing else matters, just Universal Love and Love Expanding Love.

When I listen to it, all of my cares and worries fall away and I remember ‘Who I Am”.

I am going to make it a goal to listen to this often if not daily to remind myself of who I really am.

I hope that you too enJOY this beautiful piece.

The song “Universal Love” by Paul Luftenegger
Paul’s website ‘bee kindness’

I hope that you take time to enJOY Paul’s music and other uplifting music, poetry, art, pictures, writings, or anything that moves your soul in a good way.
