3 Prayerful Steps to Ensure Deep and Lasting Love

February 12th, 2010

It is that time of year again. Valentine’s Day or Lover’s Day. So many lovers take each other for granted so I thought I’d write a quick post about that. Actually that is easy to do over time anyhow.

I am single right now, I have been for many months now. I see so many couples take each other for granted and I know when I do find Mr. Right I am going to do my very best to not do that. Let me tell you it sucks being alone at Christmas and Valentine’s. But I also know it sucks worse to be with someone who does not appreciate you any day of the week.

So if you are lucky enough to have that special someone and you really do not want to lose them or you want to keep that spark alive try these 3 steps on for size.

This was found in Dr. Joseph Murphy’s book on Amazing Laws…..

Step One: In the beginning, God. Every morning upon awakening claim that God is guiding you in all your ways. Send loving thoughts of peace, harmony and joy to your significant other and everyone in your life.

Step Two: Grace at meals. Give thanks for the food and blessings in your life as well as give thanks for each other. Make absolutely sure no problems, worries or arguments enter conversations at the table. Be sure to do this at meals when you are away from your significant other. Refrain from talking negatively or thinking bad thoughts of that person at all meals and be sure to say grace before all meals. If you feel bad thoughts coming up for the other person just say to those thoughts, “Peace be with you be gone.”

Step Three: Prayer before Sleep. Keep the bible close by and read scriptures together. Consistently read: Psalms 23, 27 and 91. Hebrews 11 and I Corinthians 13. Pray quietly, “Thank you Father for all the blessings of the day. God giveth His beloved sleep.”

What We Give Others We Also Give to Ourselves

February 2nd, 2010

”What we give to others, we give to ourselves. What we withhold from others, we withhold from ourselves. In any moment when we choose fear instead of love, we deny ourselves the experience of Paradise. To the extent that we abandon love, to that extent we will feel it has abandoned us.” – Marianne Williamson

“It is always the case that both the victim and perpetrator who suffer the consequences of any acts of violence, oppression, or brutality. For what you do to others, you do to yourself.” -Eckhart Tolle from the book: A New Earth

”If you concentrate on finding what is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul. -Rabbi Harold Kushner

Now I want you to think about this for a bit. Give anger, receive anger. Give kindness, receive kindness.

Your task for the day or for a few days for that matter (better yet, the rest of your life) is to change what you are giving away from the bad habits of anger, hatred, bitterness, jealousy, envy, lack, and poverty. And create the good habits of thinking peace, happiness, harmony, right action, good will, abundance, and prosperity. In doing so you will find that you will be giving yourself the gift of peace, happiness, harmony, right action, good will, abundance, and prosperity.

I know this may not be easy but this is the best gift you can give yourself. The very second you find yourself thinking an ugly thought replace it with a good thought. The mind cannot think two things at the same time.

Let me give you an example. Let’s say you and a very close friend just had a falling out and you are very angry at that person. Every time that person enters your mind you focus on that angry thought. Well instead change that to focus on a positive thought about that person. I can hear you now, “I can’t find anything positive about that person!” Wha,wha, wha…too bad, you have to! Let me tell you why, this person is a child of God too, therein lies their innocence. Know that this is only helping you. This is what Jesus meant when he said “you will heap coals on your enemy’s head when you pray for them.” This may not be easy at first but once you realize the positive affect it will have on you, you won’t have such a difficult time doing so.

Know, my e-book, soon to be published will also detail this point in full. Try not to stress out on your enemy’s innocence. You’ll get there! Eventually a link to my e-book will be here.

Okay so that is your homework for this lesson. Any experiences with this lesson? Feel free to comment….

Until next time -K

News Adds Negative Vibrations

January 27th, 2010

“Early in life I noticed that no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper” -George Orwell

“Cuz when they own the information they can bend it all they want.” -John Mayer song Waiting on the World to Change

In the Science of Getting Rich for Genuises you are asked to monitor how much news you watch during a week. In fact they challenge you you to avoid the news for a week. I can tell you in all honesty that was easy for me to do. I don’t watch the news and avoid it at all costs. What ticks me off about the news is I hear something very sad and negative and then I think to myself, “What can I do about that piece of information?” The answer is usually “Not a damn thing!” And then that negative piece of information just adds to my vibrational bubble. I don’t need that so out it goes! Trash!!

Just the other day I had a client in my studio talking on and on about the crisis in Haiti. Yes it is sad, yes I wish I could physically do something to help them, but there is only one thing I can do for them and that is pray. I don’t dwell on the issue because it won’t do any good anyhow. Besides, I don’t watch the news to avoid hearing about things I can do nothing about. And like George Orwell stated “no event is ever correctly reported in a newspaper”. So who’s to say it is the truth?

Now I know there are some of you out there who freak at the thought of missing news. You may think that you are going to miss something or that you are going to become some uninformed citizen. But I promise you, as a non-news reading citizen myself, if you must know it you will know it.

For example, let’s talk about the weather for a minute. In Houston we had a major cold snap a few weeks ago. Most people knew about it a week to 10 days ahead of time. I don’t watch the news and I knew about it a week ahead of time too. The same client who talked on and on about Haiti, told me about the horrible cold weather headed our way and how we had better be prepared. Okay, so I was warned. God, the universe, or my higher power made sure I knew about what I needed to know about because I trusted in it.

So trust that you will know. Don’t waste your vibrational bubble listening to the news. Let’s put those negative folks out of business. Or better yet let’s start a positive news campaign. Hey, and just maybe that will put an end to the vicious circle in the first place. Now that’s an idea!!

Soar Upon the Wings of Eagles

May 2nd, 2009

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. -Isaiah 40:31

Eagles are symbolic creatures of humans behavior. I love eagles and will refer to them often.

I love Joyce Meyer’s book Never Give Up. I bought that book upon a calling from God because I was at a point in my life where I was being tested dearly. On many occasions before, during, and after reading that book I wanted to give up. I especially struggled with giving up during and immediatly after reading this book. She talks about eagles and their behaviors often in this book. I will too.

You can buy Joyce’s book here:

Betty Scott, my angel, is one who loves eagles too. I will be helping Betty start her own website/blog like this one. When I do she will be blogging about eagles too.

The eagle is bold, strong, courageous, fiercely devouted and has many wonderful characteristics. Charles Prestwich Scott rightly observed, “Eagles come in all shapes and sizes, but you will recognize them chiefly by their attitudes.” Among its other admirable traits, an eagle is loyal and committed, a reliable mate, and a devoted parent. An eagle has sharp, keen eyesight and knows how to fly efficiently by riding the thermal currents of the earth. This bird dwells on the rocks in high places and is confident enough to fly alone and to stand alone in life when necessary and to be strong against the storms, spreading its wings and soaring above the clouds and storms of destruction.

Joel Osteen also preaches often about eagle behavior. I am right there with him. Be ready to read more about eagles and their relation to us…..-Kathie

Reap and Sow Activity

March 27th, 2009

Galatians 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Okay so I just read an article by Natash Dern about reaping and sowing. Yes I will be including ALOT of her stuff on here. Anyhow, I thought I’d share this with yall. It is really a novel idea and let’s try it ourself.

She tells us to get a treasure chest – a little trinket box. And everytime we have a positive thought to deposit it in the box and collect the jewels and spiritual trinkets of our lives. She says, Your jewels in your treasure chest consist of …”Compassion, love, forgiveness, kindness, peace, trust, personal power, etc. Your treasure chest will literally be filled with your innate goodness and value. It will contain your daily achievements, good thoughts, good deeds, good wishes, good qualities and good intentions. Go ahead and fill your treasure chest with all your goodies, and watch yourself transform.” We are to write these down on post it notes and place them in this box. I like it!

On the opposite side of the coin, she says that we are also to create a trash basket. We are to write down all our negative thoughts and throw them away. She says, “The power of writing it out frees your mind from the burden of the negative thoughts/feelings. Every time you do this, you are symbolically getting rid of toxic investments. This act validates your intentions to sow and reap abundance in your life – physical, mental, emotional, financial and spiritual.” Yup, I like!

I am going to start doing this. Let me know how this works for you….
