This blog was created from a peaceful and loving mind and heart. I would like to share some of my experiences and point of view as I continue to walk inward on the journey of Life. Many young people need to hear about our experiences. Come share your ah ha moments and how you arrived where you are through the Grace of God. Oh, let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O, God... Psalm 19:14
Peace a state of mutual harmony between people or groups; and in personal relationships. (2) non-warring conditions of a nation, groups of nations and the world.Dictionary.com
Peace is what most of us want and are working towards. Let peace begin with you.
Meditation
Contemplate on: Peace
Affirm: Let peace begin with me. I am at peace.
Path to Silence: Take 3 deep cleansing breaths. Go into the silence for at least 3 minutes. Lovely LadyFran
Calm: Freedom from agitation. Still or stillness. Tranquility, Serenity.
When we say... be calm, it does not mean that anything will change just by being still. I think we know that we can not do anything in a state of chaos. This is why we need to calm ourselves. In this calmness, peace is revealed. Love is also present. We are now on our way to a solution to whatever the problem is. We can now see and feel in ourselves or whomever is helping us, at that particular moment, that all is well.

I treated my grands to pizza yesterday and usually I fall off the wagon and eat with them. When I ordered their pizza, I ordered one where I put only vegetables on 1/2 half of the second one.
For my dinner, I prepared chicken and steamed vegetables. When the pizza arrived, everyone was looking forward to opening the boxes and eating pizza. It looked unusually good. I had one small taste and then I served the pizza to them and I ate my prepared meal. It felt good to stay with the plan.

I have started my gratitude jar. I have much to be grateful for each day. One of the things that I am grateful for is being able to adapt to change. I did not say that I adapt easily to all change but I can say that I am on my way. It is amazing when you change your perspective on things, those same things begin to look different. I feel at peace, calm and I am quiet and still. I feel present in this moment.
Meditation: Contemplation: I am present in my body in this moment. I am at peace. I am still. I am calm. I breathe slowly and I am one with the Holy Spirit. I am aware of my oneness with Spirit. Take 3 deep cleansing breaths. Be in the moment and just sit and breathe for at least 3 minutes. Lovely LadyFran
One day I noticed how cluttered my house was. It is so easy for things to accumulate. Once I made up my mind to get rid of the clutter, it was a good feeling just to make the decision to do so. After the things were donated or put in the trash, I felt very light. I realized later that I was preparing for something new. This is true for letting go of thoughts that no longer serve us. We are preparing for something new.
Meditation: contemplate on, I release those thoughts that no longer serve me. I think only positive thoughts of peace, love and joy. Take 3 deep cleansing breaths and go into the silence for at least 3 minutes. Lovely LadyFran
Someone shared that they went to make a layaway payment on merchandise that was being kept in a store. An anonymous person paid their balance off along with others.
I just said to someone not even a month ago that we would start to see random acts of kindness. I believe this is going to become more and more frequent. Isn't it said, after the storm comes the calm? We have been seeing some ugly behavior from people recently. Even if there is more ugliness, the calm is definitely giving us a glimpse of what could be.
Meditation: contemplate on, I am shining my light in the world for all to see. I hold steadfast in my faith that peace, respect and harmony is manifesting right now. Take 3 deep cleansing breaths and go into the silence for at least 3 minutes. Lovely LadyFran
