Today's Affirmation
 
"I will leave the past in the past and start fresh each day."
 
Every day is a new day, and we can begin anew.  What happened yesterday doesn't matter any more; it is in the past.  What matters is what you make of today. 
 
When you open your eyes in the morning, what is waiting for you is a day pregnant with possibilities.  It is up to you to decide what to make of the day.
 
Take a few moments before you get out of bed, just lay there and contemplate the day.  Ask yourself, "What shall I do today?  How can I make this day the best possible day?"
 
We fret far too much about yesterday and the day before that and the day before that.  When we do this, we rob ourselves of a true present.  We live in regret with "woulda, coulda, shoulda."  This serves no higher purpose.
 
Okay, so it didn't go so well.  Okay, so you screwed up.  Okay, it wasn't the best experience.  So, learn from it and move on.
 
How much incredible time we waste lingering over the past and our errors.  We are human and it is our nature to make mistakes, but learn from them and move on.
 
So, today's message is MOVE ON!  Start fresh each day with hope and the knowledge that the day is a blank canvas waiting for us to paint our masterpiece.
 
In Love and Light-Always,
Robin

Today's Affirmation
 
"Today, I will not give up; I will surrender."
 
 
Surrender.
 
It is in our human nature to never surrender. 
 
But, sometimes surrendering is the best thing we can do for ourselves.  it is a sign that we have recognized that we have no power in a situation and that if we keep moving, we will surely meet with defeat.
 
I want to clarify that giving up and surrendering are two very things:  Giving up connotes a loss of hope, a loss of faith.  Surrender indicates a  true recognition that we are powerless and that we must, for our own good, let go and turn over the situation to a higher authority-our higher power.
 
There is no weakness in surrender. only in giving up.
 
So surrender, don't give up.
 
Turn over the situation.  Step back and let the Universe do its job for you.
 
 
In Love and Light-Always,
Robin

Today's Affirmation

"Today, I will be joyful!"

Be joyful today!  If we look hard enough, we can find at least one thing in the world around us that gives us joy.  Yes, even when the rafters are falling down around us, we can find joy in something.

The Universe has gifted us with beauty because the Universe understands the demands and challenges of human life.  And in times of great distress, we can look around us and see beauty and be reminded that even though things may be rotten at that moment, beauty still exists.  Beauty and serenity will return to us.  

In fact, beauty and serenity never really go away, we just fail to see it and believe in it, and live it.

So, my darlings friends, look for beauty today, even in the face of trouble, look for beauty.  See the beauty and be joyful!  Momentary joy is better than no joy at all.

Hold your head high, and be joyful!

In Love and Light-Always,
Robin

Today's Affirmation
 
"Today, I will turn my vision inward and work on changing myself."
 
 
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,  the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
 
 
The most difficult part of the serenity prayer is acquiring the wisdom to know the difference between what we can change and what we cannot.
 
We would like to think that there is nothing that we cannot do, nothing that we cannot overcome, and although that may be true is some instances, it is not true when it comes to people.
 
We cannot change who people are or what people do.  We cannot change our loved one, our friends, our colleagues.  We just can't.  It is truly not in our power  to do so.  It is not our responsibility to try to change them.
 
They must be willing to change themselves, and we...we must work on ourselves.  We are the only ones whom we can change.
 
A close friend of mine used to say, and it is absolutely true without a doubt, "If nothing changes, then nothing changes."
 
We are constantly looking outward at others and not looking at ourselves, then what can possibly change?  Nothing.
 
But when we look inward, look at ourselves, examine who we are, why we do things, how we react, then we begin to see that there is plenty about ourselves that we can work on.  This is where our focus should be.  not on the external where we may or may not be able to impact what is happening, but internally where we can be sure that if we put the work into ourselves, we surely can change something.
 
For, today, turn our outward vision inward.  Seek within yourself what you can change.  Begin working on yourself and your personal issues.  Stop making an excuse for why you cannot, and begin making a promise that you will.  In this way, you improve the most precious gift you have--yourself.
 
In Love and Light-Always,
Robin

Today's Affirmation
 
"Today, I will let go of jealousy and manifest what I need and want."
 
There is no good in jealousy.  Jealousy makes us bitter and resentful and no good can come from this type of negative energy. Instead, we should focus of what we do have and work on manifesting that which we want to bring into being in our lives.
 
Actively working on a plan of action and working on the manifestation of it frees us from jealousy, bitterness, and resentment and brings more positive energy into our lives.  Thus, we live more in the Light.  And it is this light that helps things grow, blossom, and bear fruit.
 
Show me a growing thing that can truly live without light, water, nurturing.  I dare say, you cannot.  for all living things, thoughts included, for thoughts are living energy, cannot grow, cannot prosper without the proper essentials.
 
So, for today, let go of jealousy.  Turn your attention to creating what you want and what you need.  Turn you attention to forming positive thoughts and sending that positive energy into the creation of wonderfulness in your life.
 
In Love and Light-Always,
Robin

Today's Affirmation
"Today, I will be courageous and change what I can change-myself."
 
 
"God...Grant me the courage to change the things I can..."

It is often difficult to tell whether or not we can change that which exists or occurs in our lives.  But being able to analyze the situation clearly is to our benefit.

There are many things we cannot change.  We cannot change people.  We cannot change who they are or what they do, even though we would like to think that we have that much power.

The only thing we can do is to ask the Universe to move in the lives of those people and bring enlightenment and breakthrough to them.

Then we must go about our business and what we know we can impact.  We can work on ourselves, we can work on events that can be directly impacted by our actions.

So, for today, take a close look at what is not working and ask yourself, "Can I do anything about this?" 

If the answer is "yes," then do something positive.  If the answer is "no," then call on the Universe for assistance, and leave the work to your Higher Power.  Focus on yourself and what you can personally do to help yourself and impact events that can be impacted.

In Love and Light-Always,
Robin

Today's Affirmation
 
"Today, I will pray a mighty prayer for the enlightenment of those whom I love who living in darkness and despair."
 
Sometimes the people that we love are living in darkness.  No, I don't mean they have forgotten to pay the electric bill or that they constantly have their blinds closed.  What I mean is that their lives are so full of confusion and chaos and denial that they just don't ever seem to get out from under that dark cloud.  It follows them around.  No matter where they go, there it is like their own personal thunderstorm.
 
But what can we do?  We have tried.  We have talked to them.  We have cajoled them.  We have yelled at them.  We have helped them.  We have done everything we can do to try to make a difference in their lives.  To no avail.  Nothing has worked.  In fact, they aren't even that interested in listening to us or to anyone else.
 
They feel safe in their denial, but what has it gotten them?  Not much.  Not much of anything.  They complain that nothing good is happening in their lives, that everything bad happens to them, that that ache and feel ill all the time.
 
This behavior perpetuates the negativity swirling around them, bringing more confusion and chaos into their lives.  And thus, the darkness continues.
 
But can we do?  We can pray for them.  Prayer has power.  Prayer has incredible power to bring about change.  And so for these loved ones, we can let them go, turn them over to their Higher Power and the Angelic Realm for assistance.  We can pray a mighty prayer every day for their enlightenment, for the bricks of illusion to crumble.  We can pray a mighty prayer that Universe moves the in their lives and breaks them down and rebuilds them.  We can pray for these things for their highest and greatest good  because we love them and we want them to have a better life.
 
So, my darling friends, pray for those that you love.  Pray a mighty prayer.
 
In Love and Light-Always,
Robin

Today's  Affirmation
 
"Today, I will choose a path of light and reject a path of darkness."
 
The spirit of the Mighty, the spirit of the ALL is all around you and fills you if you allow it.  Those who are filled with the loving presence of the ALL open their hearts and let this loving presence in.  But those who do not open their hearts to the Universal unconditional love, will remain by half and are not truly alive in the spiritual sense.
 
Man has the greatest gift Universe has to offer and that is choice.  Man can choose his own path, but in choosing, man must take responsibility for those choices.
 
This is where we see a conflict, for man does not always choose wisely but chooses impulsively or chooses not at all.  In choosing not at all, then he chooses nonetheless.
 
Be cognizant of the choices you make and the path down which it will lead you.  Use the powers of reason that the Universe has provided to think through each step of your path.
 
All paths are etched in the universe.  each possible path that man can take is already established and so man gets to choose the one that is the most appropriate.
 
But ignorance and blindness can lead man down paths that are not the best of choices even though they are available for choice.
 
Choose wisely, brethren, for there are paths that lead directly to the Source and there are others that do not lead to the Source but away from the Source.
 
Remember, we do not judge, but we do see all the paths; and there are paths that we would like to see man travel.  Choice and free will is a gift.  Use it wisely. 
 
Use it for ends that will bring you closer to the source.  Reject those that lead to darkness and decay and thus away from the source.  for the farther you move away from the source the longer it takes to come back into the light. 
 
Do not let your base desires take over your life.  Seek within for the Light That Shines Eternally and let it be a beacon for you.  Move forward ever in the Light and bring more light into your life. 
 
Revaluate your place on your path and see where you can make adjustments so that as much light as possible shines on you and open your heart to it.
 
A life of light keeps you in the Light and thus brings you closer to the Mighty.  A life lived in darkness keeps you in darkness and thus away from the Mighty.
 
Be blessed always and seek the Light,  for in the light there is all good.  Yes, all lessons are important for the advancement of the soul, but some lessons bring more light to the consciousness than others. 
 
Ignorance is a choice you are free to make, but our hope for you is that you will not choose ignorance, but will choose the Light.
 
Be well brethren.  We are with you always.

Today's Affirmation
"Today, I will make a plan and a back up plan for myself."
It can be a really good to be spontaneous, but when we always leave things to spontaneity, things may not work out.  This is because we lack focus, and in lacking focus, the energy is scattered and not concentrated on one specific plan of action.
So, make a plan.  Have a plan.  Even if the plan doesn't work out the way you think it will, have one anyway.  It is far better to start the day with some type of direction, some goal you would like to achieve.  In this way, you remain on the right path.
And you know as well as I do, that sometimes things happen suddenly and we are forced to take a different direction.  So to ensure that you are not caught with your proverbial pants around your ankles, have a back up plan, some direction in which you can go just in case plan A doesn't materialize.
Yes, enjoy spontaneity, but have a plan as well.  Take control of your life by planning and back up planning.  In this way, you are more prepared for what might come.
In Love and Light-Always,
Robin

Today's Affirmation
 
"today I will reach out to the Universe and begin developing a more personal relationship with  my Higher Power."
 
What makes a hopeless situation less hopeless is knowing that the celestial realm is there waiting for us to call upon them for assistance. 
 
How many times do we have to bet old that we are not alone.  that we have legions of angelic help at our disposal.
 
Maybe you're not a believer of angels and other celestial entities.  Maybe you should be.
 
If you are not or if you are not sure, then I challenge you to reach out to the Universe and all it has to offer and stick with it for awhile and see miraculous changes happen in your life.
 
For those of you who are believers in angels, are you reaching out as often as you can?  Are you really relying on the assistance that is available for you? 
 
Perhaps building a closer relationship with Universe is in order today.  Maybe it is time to trust that the Universal Source of All That Is is has been encouraging you to reach out.  And maybe now it is time to more fully develop that relationship.
 
When you do reach out, when you form a closer connection to your Higher Power, you begin to feel a certain serenity overcome you.  You feel less alone and more empowered.
 
So for today, begin opening your heart and mind to the Higher Forces and see what miracles begin to happen in your life.
 
In Love and Light-Always,
Robin

Today's Affirmation
 
"Today, I will begin a personal inventory and resolve to release and to close old issues."
 
 
It is a good time to begin bringing old issues to a close.  The end of the year is only months away, as hard as it is to believe, and old issues that have been hanging around for months and are still unresolved can be worked on and put to rest.
 
Before we know it, holiday time will be upon us and then the stress and anxiety will mount with all of the preparations:  shopping, cooking, entertaining.  Don't let yourself become depleted.  This happens when we not only have the stress of holiday time, but have the added stress of leaving issues unresolved.
 
I do not believe in New Year's resolutions because they are too easy to break.  We make them, but we already know that we aren't really going to keep them.  But making a resolution now, when it is most important is much  more valuable.
 
Take the time to inventory yourself.  Look back and see what issues you have left open and close them.  Look back for unhealthy patterns of thought and behavior and action, and resolve to let them go.  With old issues resolved, you can head in the upcoming months free of some of the end of year stress and in a perfect position to consider your goals for the new year.
 
It's like cleaning out the fridge.  Just get in there and do it as unpleasant as may be.  Ask for Universal help.  You know you have a cast of angelic assistance to help you, so ask them for help.  They will come in a mighty way to carry you through the release of the old and prepare your heart, mind, and spirit for the future.
 
In Love and Light-Always,
Robin

Today's Affirmation
 
"Today, I will work on accepting those things that I cannot change."
 
"God, Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change..."-Serenity Prayer
 
How often have we striven against the flowing tide?  How often have we pushed our way against a brick wall only to become bruised?  How often have we tried to impose our will on events and come up short?
 
Perhaps this is a familiar story for you.  Perhaps you feel frustrated and angry because all of your efforts have yielded nothing.
 
Perhaps this is because what you were trying to impact is outside your realm of control.  You have wasted precious energy on something that you cannot possibly impact or change no matter how much you may want to change it.
 
This is a time to evaluate the situation and ask yourself:  "Is there anything that I can possibly do the impact this situation?"  If the answer is "No,"  then it is time to work on acceptance.
 
Acceptance is a hard lesson because no one want to feel that he or she is ineffective.  It makes us feel helpless and frustrated.
 
But, by being totally honest with ourselves, recognizing those things that really do fall outside our realm of control, we become, not more frustrated, but empowered.  We know it isn't us that are faulty, it is the nature of the situation.
 
By recognizing what we have no control over and accepting that we have no control, we can then turn our attention to what is within our realm of control-US.  We may not be able to control other people or external situations, but we can control ourselves.  We can take a good, long, hard look at ourselves and find that which needs mending, remediating, updating.  And then we can focus our energy on doing it.
 
So, for today, dear friends, open y our awareness.  Stop periodically through your day, and ask yourself, "Can I effectively enact change on this situation?"   If so, do it.  If not, move on.
 
In Love and Light-Always,
Robin

Today's Affirmation
 
"Today, I will carry on.  I will determine what I need to carry on and ask Universe for help in making it so."
 
Carry on.
 
In the midst of all, carry on.  It is so easy for us to withdraw and let life pass us by.  We see others doing and achieving and we look at them and wonder how they do it.  Well, perhaps the answer isn't so simple, but a simple answer is-Carry on.
 
Earlier this week, I wrote about ownership, about owning our lives, claiming them and taking responsibility for them.
 
Today, the message is the same.  When we make the choice to carry on, we make the choice to be in charge of our own lives.
 
How easy it is for us to look around us and say, "I can't."  Instead, we should look around us and say, "I can."
 
When we do this, we let the Universe know that we are ready to carry on, to move on with our lives.  And when we give Universe the signal that we are ready, Universe will step in a mighty way and help us make things happen.
 
So what will you do today that is a message to the Universe that you are ready to carry on? 
 
Perhaps a list would be appropriate.  Make a list or timeline of what it is you would like to see manifest in your life.  Maybe it is a book you've written or a business you have started.  Maybe is the sale of your house or the healing of a child.  Maybe it is better work environment or an rejuvenated relationship.  Maybe it is to cast codependency and disentangle yourself from an unhealthy relationship.
 
Whatever it is that you need to carry on, Universe will put its hands on it and begin to make it happen.
 
Be clear and reasonable with what you want to bring into your life.  Winning the lotto is an interesting concept, but seriously, how many other people are asking the same thing?  How reasonable is it?  Isn't it more reasonable to ask the Universe to bless you with abundance and prosperity?  It is.
 
So, for today, CARRY ON.  Begin considering what you need to do so, and begin making it happen.
 
Enjoy a wonderful weekend.
 
In Love and Light-Always,
Robin

Today's Affirmation
 
"Today, I will carefully consider what I am manifesting, and only manifest that which is for the highest good of all."
 
 
Greetings, Lovelies,
 
We are here this morning for you.  To give you counsel and brings tidings of joy to you in times of great duress.
 
Do not let your hearts be saddened when that for which you are striving seems not to manifest for you.
 
There is a timeline in universe that you may not understand.
 
We who dwell in this realm understand the cosmic interplay of events, the cause and effects of all things.  We can view much more; thus. we understand more of the cosmic continuum.
 
We know that there are times when you are disappointed when what you have prayed for seems not to come or it seems as if the Universe has not answered your prayers.
 
But this is not the case,  Universe always answers prayers.  But it is important for you to understand the nature of prayer.
 
Many times, multiple forces must come into alignment in order for a certain outcome to come about.  Events are like dominoes and in order for all the pieces to fall, they must be aligned and fall precisely at the right time or the outcome will be premature.
 
This takes time, so be patient when asking Universe to manifest for you.  Continue to pray for what you want if it is your highest good. 
 
There are times when Universe averts your requests because what you are requesting may run counter to your highest good and it is Universe's role to protect you from that which is not for your highest good.
 
When universe answers your prayers, there are times when you are unsatisfied with the answer or you think that Universe has abandoned you because you did not get what you prayed for, but understand this:  Universe does answer all prayers, but perhaps the answer you received is not the answer you wanted. 
 
This does happen.  So carefully consider what you are praying for.  Consider if it is in your best interest and for the highest good of all.  Ask for nothing that brings harm to others for in doing so, you create karma that will later be needed to repay and the goal of the soul is to move forward, not back ward in evolution.
 
We, the Angels of the Divine Sisterhood, have much more to share with you.  Bur for now, contemplate prayer, manifestation, and careful deciding on what is and is not for your highest god.
 
Blessings our darlings.  We will be here again with other messages for the universal source when you are ready to hear them.
 
Many blessings."
 
 
 
In Light and Love-Always,
Robin

Today's Affirmation
 
"Today, I will take full ownership of my own life."
 
Ownership.  Each of us must OWN our own life.  We cannot look to others to constantly take care of us or take responsibility for us or do for us that which can do for ourselves.
 
Our lives are our responsibility.  We cannot blame others when our lives go awry.  We must stand up and claim our lives.  We must be the ones to make the decisions that concern us and not make the decisions that we think others want us to make even if we think they will not agree. 
 
Part of ownership is being willing to do what is right in our own hearts instead of constantly seeking approval from others.  There will be times when others do not agree with our choices, but if those choices are sound, meaning that we are led to them by our intuition, then we owe it to ourselves to make those choices.
 
If we are not true to ourselves, then we are living someone else's life and missing out on our own lives.
 
Time for a reevaluation.  Look into the past.  Look for patterns of lack of ownership.  Don't be afraid.  It will take courage to take ownership and some may fight against you or oppose you, but don't cave in.  Stand steadfast. 
 
Say to yourself, "This is my life.  I own it.  I claim it.  I will follow my intuition and be true to myself."  In this way you will begin to feel more empowered, to become who you really are and do the things you really need to do for your highest good.
 
Start today.  Don't wait.  You will thank yourself later for making the choice to own and participate in a life that belongs to you.
 
In Love and Light-Always,
Robin

Today's Affirmation
 
"I am part of the whole that is God."
 
 
"Once again, we come to you with this message:  Man is Divine.  Man is made from the same energy as all celestial beings.  Man is God on earth.  not a god, but the essence of God.
 
Each man embodies a piece of the spirit that is God, and so man is Divine.
 
All the efforts of the Higher Realms are intended to bring man back to his essence.  To get man to recognize his inner being as part of the God Whole.  Each man, woman, and child makes up the totality of the whole of God.
 
We in the celestial realm welcome you back to your glorious beginnings and it is our role to counsel you to reach this knowledge and come back into harmony and balance with all things.
 
We know this is difficult because the human mind cannot understand the whole, but only sees the part.  But being part of the whole is true nonetheless.
 
Bring your heart and mind into accord what is good and true and pure.  Work toward this end
choose paths that will lead you back to the center of who you are.
 
Be part of the jet stream that is the Divine source of all that is.  In this way you move toward your destine as and reclaim your identity as celestial."

In Love and Light-Always,
Robin

Today's Affirmation
 
"Today, I will invite angels into my life and accept their loving assistance."
 
Look for angels in your life.  Look for the signposts that are answers to your questions.  Look for the wisdom of friends.  Listen to the tiny voice inside that offers guidance.
 
All of these are angel voices. 
 
Angels are here for us.  They love us and want us to reunite with the Universal Source.  They know, as we may not, that we are divine. that we embody the same Divine energy as the Source.  We were created from the Source, and that in the end, we will return to the Source of all that good and true and pure. 
 
Our earthly journey is a short one, and with each lifetime, we encounter the lessons that we need  to bring us closer to our true selves.  And the angelic realm is here to help.  The angels are God's ultimate gift to us.
 
Our Higher Power knows how difficult the earthly journey can be, and that we cannot possibly do it alone.  So why do we constantly think that we are alone or that we have to face our challenges without any help at all.
 
We don't.  Acknowledging the existence of angels and asking for angelic help brings them instantly to our side.  They want to help us, and they do, if we ask.
 
Invite them into your life and see the difference it makes to have the celestial assistance that may be missing from your life right now.
 
Don't wait.  Just ask, "Angels, come into my life and help me."  The more you invite angels into your life, the more assistance you get, and the more assistance you get, the easier the challenges are to overcome.
 
 
Be well and enjoy a growing relationship with angels.
 
In Love and Light-Always,
Robin
