Dear Friends,

Consciousness
Life is all about Consciousness. Our Consciousness is how we perceive and act in the world. Our hearts & minds create our lives.
In the ‘Daily Word’ I read
“I rise in consciousness to help create a world that works for all.
As more and more people reach their highest potential,
the whole of humanity ascends.”
As we continue to proceed in 2022, let us think about intentions or goals always evolving.

Where are you now in consciousness (thought word and deed?)
Where would you like your consciousness to be evolving towards in thought, word and deed? Life is always in the process of evolution.
We are here on earth because we have lessons to learn and karma to fulfill. On a scale of 1-10, where do you see yourself?
If 1 is FEAR and 10 is LOVE, where are you?

Perhaps this year is not just about setting outward goals and intentions, maybe this year is about setting inward consciousness
goals and intentions.
Moving toward LOVE as 10 may mean breaking down the barriers
to LOVE by asking yourself these questions.
Am I Bias? If so towards Whom?
Am I Prejudice? If so towards Whom?
Do I have a closed mind and attitude to different opinions?
Where do I stand on race and equity issues?
Where do I stand on immigrants and refugees?
Where do I stand on LGTBQ people?
Where do I stand on Republican or Democrat beliefs?
HOW can I break down these barriers to love?

LOVE, number 10, encompasses compassion, kindness, service, generosity, honesty, patience, respect, graciousness, equity, listening,
gratitude and forgiveness to name a few.

This year as we consider our goals and intentions, let us all RISE in Consciousness to help create a world that works for everyone.
The more people who are evolving towards LOVE in heart, mind and action will help everyone reach their highest potential,
and the whole world will benefit and ascend!

With Loving Kindness,
Abigail and Steve

Dear Friends,

How often have you asked the question… “Are We There Yet?”
I remember as a child my parents and I would drive from Illinois to Pennsylvania to visit my grandparents and I know along the way, I asked
“Are we there yet?” The drive seemed soooo long.

Waiting in anticipation for a loved one to arrive, a celebration to happen, or the word about who got the promotion always seems to take soooo long.
There must be something in our genes, that makes us always pushing towards the next step, the next idea, the next event as quickly as possible. We can hardly contain ourselves.

It is also a challenge to wait for a prayer to demonstrate. We are impatient because we want everything to happen now. The truth is, every word, every thought, every prayer is always answered in the NOW in Divine Mind. In God there is no delay only Divine Timing. Our human timeframe is different. We need to remember all parts of the prayer are being worked on behind the scenes. Rev. Christine Green says,
“Progress is happening on an inner level where we can’t see.”
(December ‘Science of Mind’ magazine)
In the early 90’s I prayed for a spiritual partner in marriage. I met him in 1999. The timing in 1990 was not right, my partner was still in another state and in another marriage.

Here is something to ponder. We are never there, and yet always here. Even if and when we “get there,” we are still here, at this moment in time that does not have a past or a future. It is called living in the NOW moment as Ekhart Tolle often said. When we feel the compulsion to ask “Are we there yet?,” let us turn those words around and say, “There we are!” or “Here we are.”

Let us pray, and affirm what we want by saying,
“Thank you God for All this and or something better in the right time
and in the right way!”
Doing this takes the anxiety out of waiting. This means we accept Divine Delay in all aspects of our life because God has something better planned.
Remember how long it takes a flower to bloom after planting the seed. We plant prayer seeds knowing it will bloom and demonstrate when ready.

In my car ride after asking “Are we there yet,” my parents would explain the number of hours it takes to drive and show me the clock. I could see about when we would get there. Then we would play the car games of “How many red cars do you see? Who can spot a green truck? What rhymes with……? Doing something fun diverted my attention and then the drive was a snap!

We too can divert our anxious thoughts by KNOWING God’s timing is always perfect. We have faith in the outcome KNOWING it will be right and true for us. We can move forward KNOWING and believing we are HEARD and God has answered us in the right time and way for our highest good.
SNAP!

Dear Friends,
Welcome to the New Year! I am excited about this new year and all the possibilities and potentials it holds for me, for Steve and for YOU.

There is just something about starting over, and beginning again that sets my heart and mind on a new path. It is like opening a new book and reading it
for the first time. Each chapter holds excitement and new possibilities as the narrative continues.

This New Year can open a new chapter in your life. Only YOU get to create
the STORY! How exciting do you want your story to be this year? Will it be
full of drama, mystery, romance, new skills, new adventures….? Remember what ever life in 2021 brought to you, it does not have to set the precedent for 2022.
Ernest Holmes said
“Principle is not bound by precedent. There is no law in the Universe that seeks to perpetuate old limitations, but there is a Law which responds to our greatest
vision at the exact level
of that vision.”

Every day, every week, every month is NEW. Create a new story with a new vision. Perhaps instead of writing out a long list of “goals,” this year, write a story
about what you would like your life to be, imagining fascinating ideas and people. Bring in other characters, new to you, ones you have not met yet. How would you
like them to show up? This is the time to let your imagination soar and rise above human conditions. You are the co-creator of your life. God within is your partner
and gives you the tools, (affirmative prayer, meditation, word power, competence, aptitude, skills and capability) to write, and act in your own life story.

Humans are not ideally set up to
understand logic; they are ideally
set up to understand stories.”
Roger C. Schank, Cognitive Scientist
