Have you ever given thought to how much you love your life?
How blessed you are to breathe?
How wonderful the sun feels on your skin when you walk outside in the fresh air?
I could list the wonderful things about life for days and it would still have no end. Feeling Gratitude for my life is what helps me stay centered in the Beauty and Grace that fills me. Gratitude is a simple way to honor the gifts that are brought into your life. Being humble and giving thanks brings perspective to how simple life can be or better yet how simply wonderful the little things in life are with each breath.
My health is one of the many things I show gratitude for daily. Nothing can go forward in my day if I'm ill as well as it can if my health is in perfect balance. This is my truth and I honor it more with each breath. Remaining centered, focused, and balanced in the flow moves Divinely when my physical body is healthy and well. Giving thanks for my health allows me to honor the Divine for the gift but also my body for all the functions it preforms every second without so much as a conscious thought on my part. Think of all that your body does for you each moment and think how much more it could do if you gave it better food, more water, and of course exercise and stretching. Starting with Gratitude helps move onto making healthy changes for the body.
My personal time with God in prayer and meditation is another important function I find myself not being able to live without and for this I also give thanks. Slowing down and sitting in quiet time with myself and God brings a greater perspective to how full and beautiful my life is at all moments. Having this time to honor, pray, and give thanks helps me focus on what really is needed. Allows me to solve issues that need my heart and minds attention. At the end of the day it allows for release and assists with that which needs to be handed over to the Divine for healing and treatment.
Creating a gratitude list, writing in a journal, taking time for prayer and meditation are all ways to start your love writings to God and to your Divine Self. It centers, it creates, it brings into the physical world things that you once took for granted. I find that by moving into Gratitude at least twice a day brings more of what I give thanks for into my life. It is as if I am weaving my web for the day and I start it by filling it with Grace for all I have been given and right before I lay my head down to sleep I complete my web for they day with one more silent gratitude list just to remind me how blessed I am wrapped up and surrounded in the Love and Light of God. The in-between time is mine to weave and create-the end points the guides for a brighter day and a more God-centered life.
Make a choice to start your lists and see what your heart and soul show you. You might be surprised at the things that come to mind that you are grateful for. You also might help create a peaceful time just for yourself. You might create a time for spiritual connection that you never considered. There is no better time of day to start this practice than right now. Hear the calling of your soul to move into a place of gratitude and do it with the Grace that is blessed upon you with ever breath. Smile, your light shines and this is one loving gift you give to the world that only requires a thought of happiness.
My person truth:
My path of service begins each day with Gratitude and my Breath. Each day ends the same.

Grace
God is within all of us.
I Am that I Am.
Knowing this concept and allowing it to take root, fill your life, and transform you takes dedication and faith that what is happening really is always for the better of all. Releasing judgement, self-centeredness and hatred are huge steps to allowing the seed of love to grow within you. Our culture has been breeding into us for a lifetime to do the above mentioned ad nauseam. All the tabloids, beauty magazines, and trashy newspapers fill our time with gossip, unrealistic concepts of beauty, and most importantly information that doesn't provide any importance except to perpetuate the negativity. Releasing the need to hear about the lives of others is one big step into stopping yourself from judging others. Removing yourself from the TV or discontinue reading beauty magazines will help stop the cycle of self-centeredness. Allowing the Grace of God to flow through your very being and heal old wounds and create new life patterns will help you to release anger and more importantly help you to avoid any feelings of hatred.
I have taken these steps to assist in my transformation. I have almost completely changed my whole life to sail in a different ocean than mainstream media and the general populations concepts of how life should be enjoyed. I'm happy I'm doing things differently and I'm also happy with how others do things. My prayers are for changing the world for the better. My prayers are for peace, love, a healing for Mother Earth, and a Divine Healing for all that live here and now. Our jobs as souls on this planet is to help welcome and manifest the new world. We have to make changes in our lives to allow this shift to happen. Honoring your calling is how you take your first step.
I love being fully surrounded by my sacred space in my home. I feel the pulse of the earth, I smell the scents on the wind and in my sacred oils. I know in my heart that Angels and Ascended Masters smile down and give thanks for my courage and sincerity as I hold sacred time for meditation and remain open for more information to flow. I have been doing some meditations from a great author read book called Channeling Grace by Caroline Myss. I love reading or listening to books that ring my bells so to speak. When I hear or see words written that describe the experiences or messages I have been receiving it is a great confirmation as to my connection with the Divine Mother/Father God, the Angels and Ascended Masters. Hearing Grace be described as Caroline views it and believes it to be helped to expand my understanding of how this Divine Love works for others. I had been finding it difficult the last few weeks to stay stationary and really focus my meditations. I would find myself falling asleep or receiving information which would distract my original intention which was to remain empty and just breathe. After finishing a guided meditation I realized I had just visited God. It is that simple. I had sat in the emptiness of my being, in a dark and totally silent place and held space with God. My experience was very sacred to me so I will keep that to myself but the outcome was one of total bliss. I wish this experience for everyone. I wish for you to quiet yourself and visit God. Really show yourself that you love this life and honor who and why you are here and give yourself the gift of God.
I realized that I had been visited by many Angels, many Ascended Masters, I've even had the honor of being in the presence of the Divine Christ Energy twice when I needed it most. I just never reached out and ask to be with God directly. As I said at the start, we all contain God within us. We all have our fill of this Divine love- how it flows from us and into us remains solely on how we utilize this love and allow it to fill our days. Requesting to be in the presence of God is not something you do on any special day or time. It only requires one thing- faith. Once it happens you will never be the same. I'm not. I can't ever go back to my vision of this life, world, or universe and not have that feeling of complete pure love for me and all that is and all that will ever be.
Change yourself for you. Change yourself because you can. Change yourself because you owe it to you to live the most fulfilling life you could ever imagine. All you need is faith and a moment to honor the seed God left in your heart the moment you were created into this universe. Light the fire and allow it to burn out all that isn't Divine by nature and watch yourself transform into the beautiful being that God has always held you to be.
I love each of you. I honor each of your paths and pray for your health, love and life- always.
Namaste,
Leah

Projecting Truth
I am always working on projecting Love, Grace, Happiness, Joy, and Serenity. I want to be the change I want for the world. I wish for the day when I don't have to think of it so consciously during harder times or difficult situations. I want to be the face of God so naturally that I have to stop and realize how far I have come.
I came into this lifetime to channel the love of God into my world and all that I come in contact with. I came into this life to help the children of this new Generation find a voice and use it without fear or regard for the masses that don't believe in a better tomorrow. I came into this life to make a difference and I create a new shift in consciousness every time I stay centered in the Divine Love. I reach out and help those that seemingly appear to want otherwise. I smile, really smile with my soul to everyone I come across regardless of their demeanor. I always give it my all. Being weary is no excuse for not shining my light as brightly as I possibly can. I am human and my physical body has boundaries however my soul does not and so when this body is done and needs rest I honor its request and send my spirit free to do the work that needs to be done sans this physical temple.
I think life feels more rewarding when I know I'm making a ripple in the big pond of life. My daughters are learning by example and they are now starting to show the first buds of these lessons. Their nature is so pure you can feel it in their presence. They don't know there are worldly limitations created by a society that no longer understands the pulse of the new world. They only see the beauty, they only feel the love. I watch as they run to trees and hug them or see a flower and scream for joy at its very presence in their world. They learned these things by listening to their inner voices- not because they witnessed these acts by another soul. I only gave them love and spoke my truth in whispers while they grew inside me and in front of me. I honor the gift I have to give them. This Divine Love has taught me that it has no end, it only grows the more it is freely given and released. It wraps itself up in ribbons of light and touches all that it sees. My daughters soak it up, dance in it, and giggle as it tickles their very core before exiting to dance again. They are filled with a pureness that can only be described as perfection and the Divine Love is their gift to hold onto for a lifetime. I live my life full of Love, Grace, Happiness, Joy and Serenity because it is my birth-right, my honor, and my gift to give the world. My two little girls will grow to know it only as their truth from the moment they took their first breath. That very idea breathes new life into a world that needs the hope of their souls to spread like fires, purifying the vibrations of the world and creating a new paradigm that holds the promise for better tomorrows.
You must have love in your heart before you can hope. -Yoruba Proverb

Live with Purpose
Since the beautiful Summer Solstice I have found a peace- a quiet space- that brews up within me and empties like the tides. I have experienced deep pain. I have touched the very fibers of my dark side and burned them in the summer sun. I have felt the relentless vibrations from the planets above rain down and spin my insides demanding change. I move with the flow, I enter the deep when shifted. I call to the Masters and Angels when it gets to be too much. I breathe. This is the time for acceptance of our callings. This is the time to honor and acknowledge the voice within that softly whispers. This is the time to learn to ride the wave and find the safe place when all else feels full of chaos and emptiness.
I have stayed open for the last new moon to allow for intentions to manifest as needed. The Lunar/Solar eclipse series we are currently moving through has left me all but ripped to shreds and moving with the flow is the only way I can live in sound mind and body. I have become acutely aware of my surroundings. My physical body and spirit have melded more into one through this transformation and I am more in touch with the words that whisper on the winds. I hear the call for change from the heavens and gently bow in acceptance. I create each day with prayer and move through it with love. For the last six weeks I have heard the following phrase repeated and so I have taken it on as my mantra- 'Live with Purpose'.
It seems so simple yet most of us don't live our everyday lives with purpose. We eat, drink, and move through our days almost in a zombie state doing the same things over and over again. Living with Purpose requires more thought, more inner prompting to move from one thing to the next. Multitasking is hard to do while living in the moment. Living with purpose requires us to say each day 'I will do as I am guided, be the Face of God and share my Love along the way'. I have worked this new mantra into my life slowly. It wasn't easy to allow myself to slow and take every moment into account as being unique. Especially the tasks I preform everyday. My ego self also took offense as it often does when another task is taken from its grasp. After one full moon cycle I was able to make the shift. I woke one morning and decided it was time to live the fullness of the day. After that is has grown more and more fulfilling to doing everything with purpose. I eat with purpose. An idea that is needed in my life right now. I was amazed at how much better I felt when I stopped, listened to my bodies needs and then filled them with the foods requested. This simple act of honoring my body has allowed me to feel more energetic and assists with my bodies given nutrition requirements day by day. I also walk with purpose. I slow myself down and walk more consciously. I exercise and honor my body and make adjustments to my speed when required. I listen to the needs of my joints when a road is too hard or a hill too steep. I also hear when my body just wants to move, dance, be free to stretch. Today I was guided to imagine love flowing from my being as I walked. So on my morning walk I imagined my love float on the breeze and touch those that walked the same path. What a wonderful thought to share my spirit and love with others unknown to me. Helping, healing, reaching others with only the intent of love- theirs if they so choose to allow it.
Prayer has helped me live with purpose. I can express to the Mother/Father God my love and gratitude for each day and each night. I honor this body temple that was given to me to have this human experience. I honor my spirit as holy and a piece of God. Prayer not only for me or my loved ones but for all. Giving the gift of praying for those that need it regardless of their religion or awareness is honoring humanity and a service you can provide to this world you live in. Living with Purpose requires gratitude, acceptance, complete surrender, trust, and hope. I will always believe the best in humanity because without that hope and belief all seems lost. I trust life is moving into better times and better spaces because there is no other way I want my children or myself to live. Living with Purpose means I am doing my part each and every moment to make my prayers, my dreams, my hopes a reality. I create a ripple in the waves of vibrational space and time. Forever touched by my love this world is one drop closer to peace, love, and healing.
Live with Purpose. Live in Purpose. Honor your Divine Self.
Touch the stars and know you are never alone.
My prayers are always with you.
With much Love & Light,
Leah

I AM that I AM
I first heard 'I am that I am' said at a spiritual retreat I was on a few years ago. It was the first spiritual gathering I had ever attended and I was in my element but also very overwhelmed. I realized how closed up I had kept myself for so many years. The meaning of this statement went right over my head. I researched it later and realized its magnitude. I didn't however get 'it'. I didn't understand that I was God as much as God was me.
This last week and a half has been huge for me- another major transformation. Maybe it is better put that I have fought my way out of my cocoon. As I have sat on the tree of life letting the sun dry my wings I have become profoundly aware of my God-Self. Staying centered in my own body and soul the Grace of God fills me- completes me- with ever breath. I have found a center that is unlike any center of peace I have experienced. I can now see it clearly when I move away from it. I drench myself in Love the moment I wake and bathe in it at any moment by simply breathing in and becoming conscious of the Grace that fills my life- my being. This process is new and so I have to be aware of it at times moment by moment. I do not ever want to leave it- ever again. To be in the Grace of God is not a gift that was given to me. It has been my birth right from the moment I entered this body. I was only required to accept this truth and take it into my being. Pause for a moment and realize what I have just said because this truth is also your truth. If I could give one ounce of this Grace to each of you for just one moment you would want to bathe yourself in it daily also. This shift of thinking however is a path that is walked alone. Self-Love has been the key to my awakening. My breaking free to become the beautiful multi-colored butterfly that I am. This last month of building up my Self-Love has been a struggle, a hardship, a magnificent process of healing. I could not have asked for a more profound outcome.
I view myself now with a renewed sense of how truly powerful the Love of God is and how truly powerful I am by just changing my thoughts and focusing my intent. I have moved mountains of pain and heartache. I have removed toxins, cleared myself of lower vibrating energies, and continue to remove all fear based cords, memories, and programing. This process was done through my soul and with the assistance of mantra, affirmations, and prayer. I also received assistance from higher vibrational beings that I requested help from who lovingly received my prayers and assisted where they were needed. I trusted the process. I moved with the flow and always believed the outcome would far out weight the short term pain or discomfort. I owed myself this because I am a child of God. To honor my wonderful being I have to provide a solid foundation from which to grow from. My path of service is one of a lifetime. I now know that while I walk this path alone physically I will never have to be alone spiritually.
I look around on this tree of life that I am perched on. The sun is shining down warming my wings. The air is warm and full of wonderful smells and full of life. A life energy so tangible I can feel it embrace me in my new form. Sultry and smooth it caresses my skin urging me to take flight. I see myself and notice the crystal like color of my soul radiating off my body. I am ready.
I am that I am.
Love & Light,
Leah
