As we cycled to the library this morning, a couple of encounters made me realize once again how people tend to sabotage themselves with their beliefs and speech.

The first, a lady, came up to me as I parked my bike. She said, “You’re not worried about just leaving your bike here? Aren’t you afraid someone will steal it?”
Two words, "worried" & "afraid", gave me an insight into her life. Both powerful words that will draw more of the same to her.
She then proceeded to tell me how she was always afraid to leave her bike because of the expensive Bionx kit.
I explained the principles of the Law of Attraction and how she was likely to draw the very circumstances she was so afraid of if she kept maintaining that thought pattern. The blank stare told me she didn’t get it so I told her about a security code she could enter into the Bionx system to disable it.

The second encounter was with another cyclist outside a grocery store, who wanted to know about recumbent bikes. Later, we met him again as we waited in a very busy intersection to head home.
He gave us the url for a website and said to be sure to look at the "10 Ways of How Not to Get Hit By a Car" article. My first thought was that the best way is to get that thought right out of your head.

I immediately turned onto a sidewalk and towards a path less travelled.
Knowing how these energies work it made me uncomfortable to see where his thoughts were going while standing in a place with so much traffic.

Awareness of these principles of Universal Law allow us to use them for our benefit instead of for our detriment. However, the awareness first needs to be there before we can use these timeless laws.

Watching the local news I heard a panel discussion about our Canadian athletes making a poor show on the medals podium.

The next day in a store I heard two radio announcers saying "Canada is just not bringing it." My first thought was 'How insensitive.' I can only imagine the years spent to get to be one of the competitors, years of hard work, discipline, and determination. How must these athletes feel when they hear their own media trashing their efforts?

As the host country, shouldn't we be happy for whoever wins the medals, regardless of where they live? They have all put forth the effort required to reach this point. They have earned the right to be called the best in the world. Hats off also, to all those who gave it their best.

In the true spirit of these Olympic games let us appreciate the skills of all the winners and celebrate their success for a job well done no matter what flag they are waving.

Bouquets of flowers especially roses, greeting cards, balloons, champagne corks popping, a little guy with a bow & arrow, red hearts and of course chocolate---lots of chocolate.

It is always nice to spoil and honour our loved ones. It is a good time to be grateful for our blessings.
My husband and I have a further relationship with Valentine"s Day. We became engaged on this day. Exactly one year later we were married on this day. That was 40 years ago and so far so good. As we reach this milestone it is a time for a bit of reflection.

What makes a union last this long? We must be doing something right.
Stepping into it I assumed it would be a lifetime commitment and that is still in effect.
Love is the binding force.
Allowing is also an important part.
Allowing the other person to be who they are without trying to change them.
Allowing them to grow in all aspects without needing to control the journey.
Allowing yourself the same in kind without judgment.
Just allowing.

Let's raise our glasses high and toast to a day filled with love and good wishes.

Cheers!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

Someone asked me what I thought was the most important thing about Universal Law. I had to give that question some thought because there are so many benefits to understanding these principles. Also, any one benefit may be of varying value for a number of people depending upon the journey and the teachings each of us has chosen to experience.

However, if there is one paramount point everyone will appreciate it is that these principles of natural law are at work all the time.

Whether we are aware of them or not, choose to acknowledge them or not, understand, recognize or use them, make no mistake these elements are working all the time.
No one can turn them off.
No one is excluded or favoured.
The key to these principles comes with recognition and understanding allowing us to use them to our benefit if we so choose.

We become co-creators of circumstances instead of victims of circumstances.
Life doesn't just happen to us. We take an active part in designing the roadmap for the journey ahead.

Just this one aspect of universal law can have a great impact on our daily experiences as the Law of Free Will, Law of Creation, Law of Cause and Effect and Law of Attraction do their jobs, according to our thoughts and the choices we make. This knowledge can bring us a step closer to co-creating with the universe.

So, if it has to come down to just one aspect, it would be this factor.
These laws are at work with or without our involvement but they exist for our use.
They exist to provide self-empoerment.

Take charge!
