Wonderful You

It's important that you take care to nurture yourself at times like these even when it is most difficult for you to do so. The fact that you struggle to accept and love yourself isn't unique to you; it is a common condition that afflicts many of our children. This saddens us as we want nothing more than our children to be happy, healthy, and filled with joy and light.

Though you do don't feel love for yourself, it's imperative that you act as if you do. Treat yourself gloriously, as a King would treat a Queen. Lavish riches upon yourself in whatever form you desire as you are more than worthy of treatment such as this.

Turn inwardly to the fount of your being and gaze in wonder at all you are. I tell you the truth--if you go looking for wonders within yourself, you will surely find them as they are everywhere and can be readily seen. Do not minimize the good that you do or fail to recognize the brilliant being that you are.

Life is complex and full of mystery as well as contradiction. Just because you struggle in one area, doesn't mean that you are incompetent in another. Glorify in what you can do and work on that which you need to improve. Do not let the need for improvement diminish the good that you do elsewhere as that is silly and unfair to you.

There is more to you than you are aware of. If you but open your eyes, you will see yourself as we see you: a child of beauty, grace, love, and light.

Blessings to you now and always my child.

Heart

The sun is always shining somewhere upon this earth. So it is with happiness. Whether you are aware of it or not, happiness is always within your grasp should you reach out and claim it as yours. There is no wrong or right here, but why choose to be unhappy and filled with dis-ease when you can be filled with love, light, and joy just as easily.

There is no magic equation here, only the desire to open yourself up to the magnitude of life. Open your heart, and all will follow naturally as everything begins and ends with this, the heart. If it doesn't pass through the heart, then it is of no real significance and has no bearing on your life. Too much emphasis is placed on the brain and knowledge is a shallow sibling to wisdom which is born through the love and agony of the heart. There is nothing greater than the workings of the heart; those who walk this path are truly blessed for they open the eyes of all those around them.

Connecting to the heart must occur after you have fully accepted the current condition of your heart. If it is broken, you must mend it. If it is shattered, you must gather the pieces and repair it. If it is hollow, you must fill it with joy, love, and light. And if it is dark with despair, you must bring the light and happiness of life into its depths. All this can be done through us as we want nothing more than for you to be at peace and enjoy the beauty we have placed all around you.

Walk suredly as you are loved and tended to by the One who is the source of All. There is nothing greater than this.
