"Believe in yourself as the physical instrument through which God (Spirit/Energy) operates.
Absolute dominion is yours when you have sufficient self-mastery to conquer the negative tendency of thoughts and actions.
Ask yourself daily; "What is the purpose of the power that put me here?"
"How can I work with the purpose of life and liberty in me?"
After having decide these questions endeavor hourly to fulfill them. You are a law onto yourself.
If you have a tendency to overdo anything; eat, drink or blame circumstances for your misfortunes, conquer that tendency with the inward conviction that ALL POWER is yours. Eat less, drink less, blame circumstances less and the best there is will gradually grow in the place where the worst seemed to be.
Always remember that ALL is yours to use as you will.
You can if you WILL; if you WILL, you do.
God the Father (Spirit/the Universe) blesses you with all He/She has to give.
Make good Godly use of it."
From Your Invisible Power - The Religious Science of Judge Troward by Genevieve Bertrend
Italics are mine.
Be willing to open your mind today to the truth spoken here, and in gratitude accept your good!
In and through all things Love is the message that Spirit would have us know; that we are loved, that we are love and that love is always the answer. Let the words you read here be a message for you today from the Universe that created you, perfect as you are.

Step by Step
"The secret of getting started is breaking your complex, overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one."- Mark Twain
On some mornings it's harder to get started than on others. And sometimes its those hard to start days that end up taking off and being the best or so I tell myself.
My cat Rosie woke me nice and early today. Thanks Rosie. ( She takes her duties very seriously some days, one of which is to ensure I am up and at it before 6am! ) so I took myself out for a walk in the coolness of the day knowing the pleasant temperature wont last here in Montrose, California for very long.
I became aware very quickly on my walk of two things - that a new local free paper was being distributed, they were everywhere, and that it was 9/11. Eight years since the twin towers collapsed and changed our lives forever on so many levels. Although my life was not directly impacted by the loss of a loved one I spent a few moments with those who had as I walked the pavements of my neighborhood. The grief and transformation the losses wrought on their everyday lives will be brought to the rest of us today so we might remember the preciousness of those lost and those that remain. I am reminded to not waste a day.
As I looked at the newspaper I picked up I am struck by the courage and faith of the people responsible for putting it out there. Flagging economy or no, they are going out on a limb to fulfil a need they see in our community. Life and hope springs eternal.
I think of the cycle of destruction and renewal and how it never stops, it can't as long as there is life. So to you and to myself I say go forward, one small task at a time and know the preciousness of today. Allow the evolution of that life work its way through you in whatever stage it appears, as destruction and loss or renewal and new beginnings. You cannot hold back the cycle of life.

Love is everywhere.
"Love is in the air, in the rising of the sun,
Love is in the air, when the day is nearly done,
and I don't know if you are illusion, don't know if I see truth,
but you are something that I must believe in, and you are there when I reach out for you." Lyrics by Tom Jones
Love is everywhere, really, it's true. Look for it, don't stop looking till you see it.
So often we decide where love is to be found or how it should appear and then miss it completely when it stares us in the face because it doesn't look like we decided it should. Love is not just romantic, like that great Louis Armstrong song says, its in babies cries and blue skies, trees of green, cluods of white...why? Because of what these things evoke in us. These are miracles, joys free for the having. Friends shaking hands, they really are saying "I love you." If we listen really closely we can hear it. Love really is not something external to us, it's in us to discover by being aware, listening, waiting, allowing it to show itself to us.
Listen awhile today, see what you hear on the deepest level of life. It really is a wonderful world.
Enjoy...
