What would you consider to be living the good life? For many people it would be doing what they have always wanted to do with their lives. For others it would be the discovery of what it takes to be happy. It is important to me to be at peace with whatever occurs in my present situations each and every day. Sharing processes and epiphanies that can assist others in being more joy filled on our shared path is another preference. The list will be different for each person as to what constitutes living the good life.
For over four decades my path has been complimented with a course of spiritual studies where without a doubt it became evident to me that life is an inside job. No matter what is happening outside in the world, it is how you respond to it within yourself that really matters.
Finding ways to remain tapped into Source is another way to align yourself to stay in what is called “in the flow.” When aligned, things tend to go more smoothly and coincidences and serendipitous events happen that are sometimes unexplainable, like that phone call of someone you were just thinkin’ of or the perfect partner or job path shows up that meets your expectations with ease and little if any struggle on your part.
For many years as a seeker, courses were taken, books were read, and constantly my intention was to learn how to get to where I wanted in life. Only to finally discover that what it took instead was to shut off the world, stop watching the news, quit being swayed by the glossy magazines of “thin super models, “and to listen instead to that still quiet voice within. There resonating from deep within is where the guidance comes.
“What I mean by living to one’s self is living in the world, as in it,not of it.”William Hazlitt
Breathnach says in Simple Abundance, ” Only when the clamour of the outside world is silenced only then will you be able to hear the deeper vibration.” Pay attention, do whatever it takes to listen. Walk in nature, meditate, watch a sunset, allow that voice to be heard. And then know that when an image flickers across your mind, an idea suddenly presents itself that —Spirit is singing it’s song.

The intention of this site is to continue to share processes, insights and new awakenings as they present themselves to us. If something you read or do works for you, share your story by commenting. Building a community of like minded individuals who together can make the world a better place to co-exist sounds like a pretty good plan of inspired action.

Whenever any one of us sets out to make big changes in our lives, whether it is physical, spiritual, emotional, or intellectual, you would set a goal for yourself. These goals are results that we would like to see in our lives. Perhaps you want a better career, a more loving relationship, or a little more money in the bank. These are all results that you can achieve in your life. This is where affirmations can hurt or help you achieve your intended outcome.Results can come with consistent application of the affirmation process.
Dr. Louise Hay says that whatever we say, think or write is an affirmation. What you consistenly “tell yourself”is what you will become. In order to change the results you need to change your thoughts ( which will lead to changed feelings and actions). The simplest way to transform your thoughts is through the consistent use of affirmations.
Stella Terrill Mann, a Unity minister taught in the 1940′s to greet each morning with the affirmation, “Blessed be the morn for me and mine.” At noon declare,” Blessed be the day for me and mine.” and in the evening , say “Blessed be the evening for me and mine.”This simple yet powerful set of blessings can bring positive changes into your life if practiced consistently. As you work, affirm,” My work is a prayer for good for me and mine.”
Start today affirming a good life for yourself. Then begin to take inventory of the blessings as they pour forth into your life. So much happens to us in our daily lives that we oftentimes fail to acknowledge the blessings as they occur. Write it down to focus on it and more will come for what we focus on expands.

What a wonderful life I’ve had! I only wish I’d realized it sooner.” Collete
Many of us have experienced how life’s lessons can be presented to us through pain, loss and struggles. Few of us realize that it is these difficult times that teach us most. It takes practice to see good in something bad. When we intentionally focus our mind on what possible good can come from the challenging events then amazing things can happen.
How many times have you had one of those days where nothing seems to be going right? As long as we live on this earth we will have days that go just as we desire and the opposite where everything seems to happen in a less desirable manner.
Sometimes we are having what Lynn Grabhorn talks of in her book,”Excuse Me Your Life is Waiting.” that which she calls a negative energy orgy. It is simply you closing yourself off to the energy of your higher self. The valve is closed—shut tight— and you are not feeling the positive energy of this incredible Universal Power or God Source. The positive flow of this “feel good “ source of good stuff is shut off. It is also what the teachings of Abraham call the CONTRAST in life or more specifically some of what we do not want in our life. This— we eventually learn is what leads us to discover that which we do want. From being smack dog in the middle of what we do not want, a “rocket of desire “ is launched for our new desires. We can also get to a place eventually where we can bless these bad times which gave us a gift by showing us the clarity to know what we really do want in our lives.
Although you feel really lousy—you have been here before and it is no big deal, you must allow yourself to have this kind of “ down in the dumps” day. Really go on and have it. Give yourself permission to experience and to feel all the negative “icky” sensations so that nothing gets stuffed down inside your self.
Now, on the other hand if you want to escape these vibrational gloomies, then one easy way to do that is to allow your eyes to look at the smallest, most insignificant thing you can find to “jump start” your physical smile.
Do What Makes YOU Smile: Reach down inside yourself and feel the feelings of that little thing that forces you to smile. Maybe it is an animal looking at you and loving you, or a plant in your garden, or the sunshine pouring in your window, or your favorite old ragged chair in your favorite reading corner, or maybe it is the book you are reading. Feel and flood feelings of appreciation to it for just being in your life. Wrap it in love as if it were the greatest treasure of your entire life which was lost and has now been found.
Sing and Dance: If this doesn’t do the trick then put on your favorite dance music and begin dancing around the house. Sing some silly song like,” Happy Days are Here Again,”( even though you would rather be in your chair crying). As they say, “fake it till you make it.” You will be amazed at how quickly your mood can change for the better.
Change the Scenery: Another course of action is to change the scenery and take a walk— nature can do wonders to cure what ails you.
Positive Self Talk: An additional strategy is to give yourself a positive little self-talk, “ Don’t worry things will get better, You will be feeling better soon. Life gives you the downs so you can more fully appreciate the ups.”
The bottom line is take one small gentle loving step at a time when you are feeling down. Give yourself a little here and a little there. It may take a couple of hours or a couple of days and eventually you will feel the resistance lessening and a “click” where the valve to that “feel good “ connection is open and flowing back again into you. You are again turned on to the infinite possibilities of life.
Remember that life offers opposites and it is in these paradoxes that we are given a better understanding of the things we truly want in our life. Sometimes we are led to a less than pleasant experience to first wallow in before the light shines on things we love.
Gabrielle Roth says it beautifully in the following excerpt:
“When we experience moments of ecstasy—
in play, in art, in sex—they come not as
an exception, an accident, but as a taste of what
life is meant to be…ecstasy is an idea, a goal,
but it can be the expectation of every day,
Those times when we are grounded in our body,
pure in our heart, clear in our mind, rooted
in our soul, and suffused with the energy,
the spirit of life, are our birthright.
It’s really not that hard to stop and luxuriate
in the joy and wonder of our being,
Children do it all the time.
It’s a natural human gift that should be
at the heart of our lives.”
No matter how lousy you are feeling, remember that we always have a choice. So turn on the flow of “feel good “ by finding one tiny thing that has you begin to feel a little bit better. Because there is a choice in every moment, make it your goal to reach for a better feeling thought.With enough practice, soon you will find that you will be able to look at those challenging times to find the gift that they were to you.

What we humans typically do is focus on those things in our lives that we don’t want or like. Put another way, we tend to argue for our limitations.
Some of you may have been introduced to the law of attraction which paraphrased means that which you focus on is attracted or drawn into our lives. Dr. Louise Hayes says that anything we say is an affirmation. Each time we speak, write or think something we affirm that as truth.
The Bible presents this idea a slightly different way in the law of harvest. You reap what you sow. Examples of this include when you plant a seed of kindness and generosity toward others, then the same kind-hearted and generous people are attracted to you. When you repeatedly are angry and bitter, then you find yourself surrounded by mean and hateful individuals. When love and joy emanate from you, loving joyful people come into your life.
” Whether it’s a positive or negative vibration, the law of attraction will give you more of the same.” Michael J. Losier
With this common pattern or way of being, if it pleases you—carry on, continue with what you are saying, thinking or affirming. For example, my choice is a joy filled life. If your life is other than what you want, PAY ATTENTION!
” You get to choose what you want, but you must get clear about what you want. This is your work.” Rhonda Byrne

Our lives have been a series of serendipitous events. We have been reading and studying an assortment of spiritual and scientific books that have created for us lives that we could not have imagined in previous years. Upon the continuous improvements, we devoted ourselves to sharing what we have learned so that others could be the benefactors of our generosity.
“My potential is unlimited.”
” I know that I can create miracles in my life.”
We appreciate the many teachers who have blessed our lives and we simply intend to ” pass on” what we ‘ve learned. Thanks to each of you and Source, God, Goddess, All-That-Is.
