My Daily Affirmation January 23rd

Reflection on an Affirmation

I haven't posted in the last few days largely because I was upset. It doesn't take much to shake my confidence so my mood dipped into its usual spiral. So when this card turned up today I had to wonder just what constitutes the past - is it your childhood, years ago or could it be as recent as yesterday? I think it can. Affirmations aren't a cure-all but they are a welcome tool in living.

I know the person who upset me had no intention of doing so, she was just thoughtless, it is MY reaction that is my problem. Am I so low in self-esteem that I still need other people's approval? I suppose I have to be honest and answer yes so today I am using this affirmation to work through my reaction. The hardest person you need to forgive is yourself. So today, I am forgiving myself for my past.

My Daily Affirmation 19th January

Reflections on an Affirmation


I've just finished posting my article on Signs, Symbols and Sychronicity and this is the card that turned up:
affirmation card - listen
affirmation card - listen
And I do! I think I have always had a need to share what I learn and learning to listen to the whispers life sends is just one thing I am passionate about. I love the idea that, as Gill Edwards says, we can live magically, just by paying attention. 

Of course as always I ended up making a card of my own - with a promise to myself and to the Universe
affirmation card today I will listen
My affirmation card: Today I will listen

What does it mean for you? Are you lending a listening ear to a friend or something else?

There is a saying in metaphysics, if you listen to the whispers life won't have to shout at you. 

I believe that all around us are messages, whispers sent by the Universe as hints and clues to help and guide us. 

If our role on earth is to evole, to follow our own path towards - if not enlightnment then at least to learning life lessons - these messages help us along the path. You can make the choice to actively listen to the whispers by paying attention to signs, symbols and any incidents of synchronicity that appear in your life. 

Here I discuss what all that means to me and how you too can use them on this journey called life.

My Daily Affirmation Sunday 18th January

Reflections on an Affirmation


Today - I am blessed - in more ways than one...
I am blessed affirmation
Affirmation: I am Blessed
For the first time in days, I woke without vertigo and for that alone I am humbly grateful. OK my balance and spacial awareness are still shot and I have to watch how I move my head, but I am getting there and so much better I feel positively euphoric.

But the card I picked is also a reminder all the good things in my life not least by my two lovely cats. They are a constant joy and they also help to keep me humble. It's hard to be anything else when you have been trained by cats.


What are you blessed by today?

My Daily Affirmation 17th January

Reflections on an affirmation


Sometimes I don't know where the cards have come from that appear in my basket and that is so with this one -
A poem on the secret of life
A poem on the secret of life

I don't know who wrote it or how I came to have it but since it seemed less of an affirmation than an inspiration I picked out another card - guess what...

affirmation card - change
Affirmation card for change
Don't you just love it when the magic comes together?

OK  confess I groaned when the change one came up - if you have been travelling this path for any time you will know that change is happening all the time and there are times when I at least just want to be comfortable with where I am right now. But in reality - change is the only constant as they say. I made the constant choice at the beginning of this year to take more charge of my life, my reactions and my path and for that to happen, I need to be open to change. So... today it looks as if I am giving the universe permission to help me make any changes necessary for my higher good. And yes, I am paying attention to the first card and trying to accept every day as a magnificent adventure.
