Simple Acts of Kindness -- Powerful Acts of Grace

19 February 2013 I have been pondering a simple act of kindness in my life, it is enfolded with love and grace which I have no words. I stand in awe of the love that we are capable of sharing one between another as we grace one another's lives with kind acts or expressions. We have no clue how what we say or do affects another person. We have the power to save a life, or to take a life with a simple word or look. The intangible energy that flows between us is real, it relays messages from one to another without words or any other form of known communication. I have been sick for the last few days. My control freak personality has been keeping me up at night as I am learning to trust God knowing that I have no control over a particular facet of my life. Insomnia sets in, the body gets tired and then I get sick. It is only a bad cold, but it has knocked me off my feet. Yesterday, I was resting, actually I was sleeping/napping. I heard a timid knock on my front door, at first I wasn't sure, then it came again. I got up and cautiously went to my door, we generally do not have visitors without prior notice, so I was hesitant as to who would be there on this day. I opened the door and there stood a dear friend with a box containing dinner for my husband and me. I felt such love that someone would care enough about me to be concerned for my health and well-being. I was over-whelmed with emotions. I expressed that no one had brought me dinner out of the blue like that and that I was extremely appreciative. I spent the evening contemplating our acts of kindness and remembering Carolyn Myss's book, Invisible Acts of Power, Personal Choices That Create Miracles. I had to search for the book to look for Carolyn's thoughts about these simple acts. I am so filled with enormous appreciation knowing that my simple acts of kindness, unbeknownst to myself have created healing in others and what goes out, always comes back. One never knows the consequences of a kind word, a touch, a helpful act has upon the recipient. Often we do things for others because it is almost automatic, which is good, yet; the impact felt by the recipient is long lasting, it goes on and on in their memory long after we have forgotten. I am also reminded of many times in my life receiving acts of kindness from others that have been so exquisitely timed that I know God works miracles by using ordinary mortals as his servants. When our children were young, there was a period of several years when on Christmas Eve, there would be a knock on our door, as we opened it, no one was there, upon looking for the person who knocked, we would look down and see an exquisite Gingerbread House, delightfully decorated and left for us to enjoy. I remember feeling disappointed when the year came that we did not receive that Gingerbread House. I knew that it was time for these loving people to share this precious gift with another family and this filled my heart with precious memories of the many years we had received such a gift of grace. Over twenty years ago, our house burned, it was extremely traumatic for us. Neither Ray nor I were working regular 'jobs'. Money was tight. We had left the house, Ray had dropped me, at my sister's to prepare for a yard sale scheduled for the next day. I received a phone call from my oldest daughter telling me that the roof of my house was on fire and I needed to go home. My sister immediately drove me home. As we approached, there were fire trucks, firemen, and many neighbors and friends in the street watching with horror at our burning house. As I got out of the car, I had a thought, "This is a great blessing." Our house fire, was indeed a great blessing. It was a symbol of God's Love for us. It was an opportunity given to us to start over in many areas of our lives, to heal and to be shown that there are no accidents and that our lives are always Divinely orchestrated for our greatest good. There are many miracles surrounding our house fire, money was generously given, help was greatly appreciated in the removal of the old house and the placing of a brand new pre-fab house on the property. Great blessings were at work in our lives, gifts of grace and witness of God's everlasting love for us. These memories still flood me with awe, the times money just showed up, at the right time and in the exact amount that was needed. Each of us have experiences like mine, my experiences are unique to me. Yours are unique to you. Your experiences of Grace are personal and come in the exact right time for you and in the exact way that you need them and they are carried to you through mortal men, inspired by an Eternal God that is full of love and grace for you. You are of great worth, you are never alone, left to your own devices. Every thought is a prayer and is heard and answered at the right time, in the right place and in the right way. Dear Ones, look back on your life and see the moments of Grace that have been gently placed along your path. Give thanks for these gifts. Look for ways to share the gift of grace with others through your own simple acts of kindness. This is a principle of health and well-being, not only for the receiver, also for the giver.

‎ IS YOUR SOUL CALLING YOU? Do you have yearnings in your heart that are nudging you to make changes in your life. A different job, move to a new location, a change your vocation? These kinds of feelings are connected to your Soul's purpose. You are being called to step into your life purpose. Your life purpose is connected with agreements which you made before you descended to the earth for this lifetime. Your agreements could be with people, to live in a certain area, to work in a vocation that is tied with these agreements. Your agreements propel and guide your life in a direction that will enable you to fulfill your purpose. Living in alignment with your purpose is where one not only connects with their joy, one is also able to live abundantly, synchroniscities become a daily part of life. The Universe we live in is governed by Eternal Laws which are important for us to learn to obey. As we align with our Soul's purpose we also align with the Laws and our lives begin to work in a way that up to now may have been frustrating us. We now see the freedom that comes when one follows their intuitive guidance and flow with their agreements. The Goddess Inanna calls these desires 'The God Codes'. These codes are encoded in our cell tissue, every cell of our body knows what they are. The codes are intelligent and are connected with our guidance system, our intuition and our feelings, and therefore our heart and our other organs and especially the indocrine system, the immune system and the pituitary and pineal glands. You health is also indicative of whether you are following you guidance system to it's fullest. Many times a person will become ill because they are not living a life that is congruent with the God Codes. I have experienced this for many years; living with dysfunctions of the body, ilnesses and depression. As I have learned to align with my own personal 'Soul Purpose' I have found that the closer I come to living congruently, the healthier my body is. I have discovered this mostly on my own through trial and error and yet I know of many teachers that teach this principle as a Law of Health. I believe that this is how Jesus Christ was able to heal his followers. As he taught them, they aligned with the Truths he taught, they received witness of that Truth and came to him for healing, because they believed and had aligned in their hearts the healing was possible. I have also experienced this as a healer working with clients, as they are able to change the way they look at things, change their belief systems, their bodies follow suit and they are no longer plagued by the ailments that they had when they started seeeing me. My clients learn empowerment through their choices and consequences. Choice and consequence are the way that the world flows. It is based on natural and eternal law, what is truth for one is truth for everyone who walks upon the earth. These laws are not only for one culture, one country or continent. These laws are Law equally for every living person upon the face of the earth, those that have lived, live now and will yet live. As we learn to live our lives connected to the Laws are lives work and flow as they were intended. I ask for God's love to be with you and witness that which is of Truth and witness to you through your guidance system your Truths that you may connect with your Soul's call and answer accordingly. Blessings ~

THE POWER TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE
I have been spending much time over the past month deliberating how to fulfill my purpose. I am a spiritual teacher. I am an empathic healer, I work with the Divine Feminine Energy to asisst others in bringing balance into their lives. I have been doing this for many years, over 30 years to give you a close number. I have known for a very long time that I need to put my thoughts down for others to read, for in so doing, my words would open a person to investigate making new choices which in turn will lead them into a happier life. A life filled with passion and joy. My problem has been my own doubts. What can I possibly say that would help someone else. Oh, I know that I have been doing this for years, working with clients one on one is different than just spewing forth in a more general manner. As I work on a person one on one spirit reveals to me what the person needs to hear, where I need to work on their body, who might be present to assist them on their path of healing. When it comes to just sitting down and writing all of a sudden I get a block and feel insecure while at the same time, it really is no different, the words still flow, spirit fills me and here I am writing. The quote at the top is for my benefit in writing this. I must move forward, I have stayed stagnant for much too long arguing with myself, because I know for a surety the Gods do not argue with you. One choice carries the power to move mountains. To change the course of your life to fulfill the measure of your creation. This is power unlike anything of a temporal nature. I know this to be so true from my personal experiences. Each time I have finally given up my resisitance to what spirit has been telling me for sometimes years, I discover that my life would actually have been easier had I surrendered much sooner. So here I am, saying 'yes', and it feels good and the words are flowing. What a concept ~ I was reading Carolyn Myss this morning, in her new book Archetypes she was talking about Abraham Lincoln having the archetype of a 'leader'. He knew in his youth, she wrote, that he was born for some great purpose. I believe we all have such feelings inside of what it is that we would do if we had the courage to step out and fulfill it. Often life will take a twist or a turn, a serendipitous coincidence. Because the Universe is governed by Law, we cannot outrun our those thoughts, feelings, dreams that come to us at moments of quietude. I have not been trying to outrun my purpose, yet, I have been avoiding it. I have allowed other things to get in the way of writing, yet my feeling small and inadequated will not change my purpose. I have found that it is becoming stronger as I mull it over in my mind and ask the question, "How do I do this?". I am told it is much simpler than it looks. I am to put one foot in front of the other each day and risk what I think and do that which I know is important. That Dear Ones, is exactly what is intended for you to do also. What ever it is that is calling to you, is what you must answer to. You already know within your heart of hearts what that is. Be willing to take a look at it and to make the choice to enter into the arena. Nothing is ever accomplished by those who sit on the sidelines, as I have been know to do over the years. The one choice I made over three years ago has propelled me into taking more risks than I have ever imagine. I volunteer to do things I used to avoid. I have found fulfillment in my music, which I find interesting. As I sit and play the piano even for my own enjoyment, there is much more emotion within the notes than every before. I am learning to stand in the Truth of Me, not asking for validation, nor needing validation from anyone. I have an inner peace which fills me with joy as I follow the beat of my own heart and live my life according to my purpose without regard to what someone else might think. That is freeing, I know understand the statement that the truth will set you free! It certainly does. Let us each choose to live more from our passions and our purposes for this will help to bring balance to the world for we will cease blaming others and begin taking responsibility for ourselves.
