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

Today's Affirmation

 

"Today, I will set a boundary and stick with it.  I will not relent."

 

 

One morning, as I looked into the mirror, I saw a woman staring back at me that I did not recognize.  She had my eyes and nose and mouth and hair, but there was something about her that was unrecognizable. 

 

I stared into her eyes and said to her, "How did we get here?  How did we come to this point where we don't even recognize each other?"  The answer was far simpler than I realized at that moment.  The answer was Boundaries and Limitations.

 

Over the years, I had modified myself according to what others wanted, what others needed.  I had become, not a better, more mature version of myself, but someone who did not know when to put herself first, to take care of herself.  I became the ultimate doer for others and I atrophied, wrinkled, and dried up inside.  I gave until I didn't even realize what I had done.  This was the woman staring at me in the mirror that morning.

 

It is essential for our personal health and well-being to determine what our limits and boundaries are.  Before, I thought that by setting boundaries and limitations I was selfish, and that thought made me feel guilty, and it went against everything I had been taught in my very traditional childhood.

 

But that morning, staring at the stranger in the mirror, I realized that I had been wrong.  I had drawn a line, but that line keep moving farther and farther back until my back was against the wall, and there was nowhere else for me to go.  I was spent.  I had given all that I had and now I had nothing left for myself.

 

Maybe you recognize this story.  It is a common one.  Maybe this is your story today, right now, and you are wondering, "What the hell do I do now?"

 

For me, I had to contemplate the empty shell that stared back and ask myself, "How do I fix this?  How do I bring this emotional and spiritual corpse back to life?"  I began to see this person as someone who needed my help, and since I was a helper, I could help her.  I could care about her.  I could nurture her and nurse her back to health.

 

It took a long time to resurrect her, but it was worth it.  And that is something you need to realize about yourself.  YOU are worth it.  YOU are just as important as everyone else in your life.  In fact, Maybe you are even more important, because if you weren't, no one would have relied on you to do the job for them, to give to them, to do for them at the expense of yourself.

 

I began with baby steps.  I began with taking a hard look at myself and asking myself, "What do I need ?"  It dawned on me that the invisible lines that were my boundaries no longer existed, and I needed to reestablish them.  Slowly, I began to say 'No," or "I'd like to but it isn't a good time for me now."  Slowly, I began to focus more on myself and become more consciously aware of my own energy level and what was best for me.

 

I knew I would piss off some people with my new focus.  And I did.  Those who had always been used to me doing for them without question, became angry and said some lousy things, but I shielded myself, and realized that they did this because I would no longer allow them to use the manipulation they had always used to get me to do what they wanted.  Little by little. however, as I stuck to  my guns, they relented, but they tried different techniques to manipulate me into giving in to their needs.  I held steadfast.  Eventually, the dust settled, they relented, and I recovered.

 

I have found, that if I am not vigilant, that I can get myself right back into that situation if I am not careful.  Recently, I made a pact with myself.  I created two categories:  Essential and Nonessential.

Each day I take the time to evaluate what is essential for me and what is nonessential.  I let go of the nonessential and focus on the essential.  So far, I have managed to keep myself focused and free of all kinds of commitments that would deplete my energy and commitment to my priorities.

 

I want this story to be a testament to you that if this is your story too, you can resurrect yourself.  You can give yourself a chance to recoup your losses.  You must be brave, however, because people will resent that you are finally maintaining a boundary, and are saying NO.  But don't relent out of guilt.  Hold steadfast to your commitment to have a boundary. 

 

Give it a try.  Try one incident, maybe with a colleague, since you have less invested in a relationship with a colleague than with a family member or close friend.  Stick to it and see what happens.  Let the results empower you.  If they get pissed off, then you know you are doing the right thing.

 

Good luck.  I will send healing and powerful energy your way to help you maintain your boundary and your steadfastness to it.

 

In Love and Light-Always,

R
