My friend Tracey made this comment on a Facebook post of mine yesterday and I really liked it!
There is tremendous peace in surrendering. I like to see my own surrendering as fueled by faith. In just trusting ‘what is”.
I hope that you found this as helpful as I did when I read it. ๐
I have to say my hubby is the sweetest man ever. He is constantly holding me in the light, helping me to lower my stress and to ease any demands I have upon me.
As most of you know, I am on a journey with cancer, and there are so many things I am doing to support myself and mindset and Faith are two very important ones, so in comes this perfect prayer written by my Spouse, Don Perry, whom I adore.
Don has advised me to say this many times a day and I do. ๐
Just thought I would share this with everyone in case you too can benefit from a prayer or affirmation like this.

I was doing some tidying up and ran across a book by Wayne Dyer called “A Promise Is a Promise” and it was bookmarked to this page.
It is amazing how messages find you when you most need them. This was a great reminder that I needed at this time in my life and once again I am also reminded to seek JOY as much as possible and even in those times that seem the furthest away…. I have learned that choosing JOY is a choice just like choosing Happiness. ๐
The first step in the process always is to let go of FEAR. I came up with a new acronym for FEAR:
Forget
Everything
And
REST! ๐
I like it.
So today I let go of any fear that might be stopping me from living my life TODAY and I also seek and expect to find JOY!
I hope that you too have faith and find JOY!
Much love to all!
As many of you know, I continually study topics around manifesting, creating, and on designing one’s ideal life.
No matter what I study, there is always an element of faith and trust that is necessary in the magical formulas available to us for creating what we want in our lives.
When we have faith or when we trust, it produces the energy of positive expectation and a belief or knowing that what we want to manifest into our lives, is indeed on its way.
I have learned to lead with trust and faith. For example, as a landlord I trust that I will find the perfect tenants for my units. As a business owner, I trust that I will help the people who most need what I have to offer.
Most of all though, I decided a long time ago to just trust that all things work out for me for my highest good and it works! The more I trust, the more everything flows!
When we worry, we attract more things to cause us worry. Worry is fear expressing itself and is not a pleasant emotion or energy.
Trust and Faith on the other hand, have energies of love and expansion and they feel GREAT!
Worry uses up our precious time and the sweetness of life.
Even anazlyzing the past is a form of worry and attracts more things to worry about now, in the present. We don’t need to figure out why things were the way they were, or why someone told us that when we were 7, or whatever. We can choose to use our free-will and not analyze or try to figure out what caused us pain and then in turn let it cause us more pain again today! Choose to let it go.
I see the time I have left on earth as a window and we know the window of time moves quickly. I personally want to have as much sweetness and as much JOY as I can in the time I have left. Therefore, I trust that things work out for me and I do my absolute best to banish fear and worry out of my life.
I consciously and with purpose use and manage my thoughts and come up with thoughts that are helping me, serving me, making me happy, etc. Thoughts are things and we can create any ones we want! We pick thoughts. Now how cool is that?
And as always, if you are struggling with anxiety or fear, make sure you reach out for help if you feel you need some. Reaching out for help when you need it is actually a sign of strength and it too has the frequency of faith and trust because you are sending out a message of positive expectation about getting the help that you need to feel better and that is a very good thing, so never be afraid to ask for help!
Have a great day everyone!
I was working on a presentation this afternoon for my upcoming Infinite Possibilities class next week. A portion of the class will cover the topics of Faith & Trust and the Magical Universe. In this class I usually share the story of the birth of my daughter who was born premature at 32 weeks.
I was looking for some pictures to put in the slide show and found this one which of course made my heart melt. It was the first time her dad held her little hand…. This picture is so precious to me.
This whole experience was a test of strength, trust and courage for me. I have written about it in a book that will be coming out soon.
Life often gives us times where we need to have faith and trust and sometimes it is harder than others. Now when I look at my beautiful and amazing 13 year old girl I am in awe. I am in awe of the journey, in trusting, and in the miracle of life itself.
Today is my late mother’s birthday. I will forever remember this day in the year 2005. It was the day that I found out I was pregnant. This was the biggest surprise that I have ever had in my life, and the best surprise of course. ๐
I was absolutely shocked the day I found this out and it seems like it was just yesterday and a thousand years ago at the same time. It has been such a JOYous journey. Of course there have been the ups and the downs, but the JOY has been immense.
Sivanna was born premature at 32 weeks weighing 3lbs 15 oz. I can still see ‘my little bird’. She was so tiny and we fed her with a syringe.
1) Vulnerability
2) Faith & Trust
Not only was my little girl so young and vulnerable but so was I. I felt fragile and my whole world as I knew it changed in that moment when she was born. What I thought would be a JOYous time was actually a very fearful time and I had to have Faith & Trust and that was not easy. One thing that really helped me through this time was a voice that spoke to me one night before I even knew that I was pregnant, but was pregnant… The voice said “Don’t worry I am coming and everything will be okay”. I will never forget the night I heard that energetic voice while gazing at the stars from my hottub. Those words were a catalyst in my getting through the 39 days of Sivanna being in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) until I brought her home.
Another thing that helped me was her Dad who would say “Honey, some day this will just be a memory”. And that turned out to be true.
When I look at this picture and into my eyes I see the fear and yet I see the strength that got this woman through this to what is now just a memory. There were so many great lessons through this struggle and I appreciate every one. I believe in life the greatest trials lead us to the greatest JOYs.
I am forever amazed and how tiny her hand was. A sight I will always remember. That tiny little hand now makes art, scratches my back and also holds my hand. โค
I am also grateful for so many things in my life. I am grateful for my daughter Sivanna Rose. I am grateful for the amazing health care that we received in this beautiful country. I am grateful that that fearful time is indeed now a memory and I’m excited. I am excited for another day on earth. I am excited for what lies ahead for myself and my family.
And Mom, I send you Happy Heavenly Birthday wishes. It will always be special to me that your birthday was the day I found out my life was to be forever changed with the gift of a daughter of my own.
Today, while organizing some things, I dropped a packet of seeds and they fell onto a table. I think they are zucchini seeds. I marveled at how these tiny, tiny, seeds become gorgeous zucchinis. In that moment I reflected on the miracle of all living things and that we too come from a tiny, tiny, egg that meets a tiny, tiny, sperm. All of this is miraculous to me!
I also thought about how the seeds produce and they make more seeds to recreate the miracle. WOW! I hadn’t really pondered on that before in such a way and I opened myself up to the profoundness of it.
It got me thinking…… this is like our ideas and our dreams. If we have ideas (seeds) but we don’t plant them, they die and they do not grow and they do not reproduce. This is huge. So then how important is it to nurture your ideas, wants and desires? Super important! These seeds can create worlds but we need to plant them so they continue to give.
I also thought about the biblical saying about the faith of a mustard seed so I googled and there are a few but this one wowed me: ” “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; and this is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, it is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that THE BIRDS OF THE AIR come and NEST IN ITS BRANCHES. “
This one kind of brings it all home for me. If we can produce life from a tiny, tiny, seed and life is a miracle so be it when we ‘sow it in our field’ or our mind! If we can have the faith of a tiny, tiny, mustard seed, which is smaller than all other seeds, but when it is full grown, is larger than the garden plants and becomes a tree (larger than life) and then the birds can nest in it’s branches …… the seed feeds the cycle of life and rebirth. WOW!
I have a whole new respect for the power of a tiny, tiny, seed. I will remind myself that my thoughts are tiny, tiny, seeds that can grow to huge proportions and that can do great things in the world! I will use them wisely and I will have faith in the power of tiny, tiny, seeds. ๐
Be sure you plants seeds that you want to grow. Let’s not die with our seeds still in us, shall we? ๐ Happy Gardening!
