Dear Friends,

As you know, I love spending time early in the morning praying and meditating before the day begins. I feel at peace and anchored in God. My prayer treatments are good and yet the other day I felt completely overwhelmed by events, activities, responsibilities that were mine to do. I needed some of these things lifted off of my plate or transformed into something easier. After my prayer treatment I pulled out my list of “Words for God.” It reminded me of Emmet Fox’s book “THE GOLDEN KEY” where he says when you have a problem, turn away from the problem and think about God. I looked at my “TO DO” list for the day and immediately SURRENDERED all on the list and read through my words for GOD. As I did so, I could feel the peace and quietness within me, and I breathed easier.

Each day I have written out my “To do List” as a Golden Key prayer treatment, I wrote and thought about God and All God is before the prayer treatment and after. I use my list of 84 words/ideas for/of GOD. It was amazing. Not only did I accomplish what was on my list, some responsibilities were actually taken off my list.

My morning prayers for family, and others are also Golden Keyed. It is as if I am creating a GOLDEN KEY Book End. I start with knowing Who God is and who I am as a God being and then I end with Who God is to me again. Thinking about God before and after prayer treatment, for me, is magical and answers affirmations, requests and brings forth manifestation and demonstration in a beautiful and often surprising way.

Writing prayers in my journal solidifies the prayer to be acted upon by Divine Mind. It keeps it clear in my mind as well as what it is I need help and support with.

GOLDEN KEY

Dear Friends,

Welcome Autumn!

I remember in the Midwest how beautiful the trees were as they began to change color. It was like their last “hurrah” before the leaves dropped and the branches became bare. It was sad to see the beautiful, colorful leaves go and yet I knew it was time to rest, renew and let go. The seasons of the year are brilliant. Each has its own purpose and message. We too can live in the seasons of our life!

I was reading a wonderful article by Cylvia Hayes from the “Spirituality and Health” magazine. She said,

Of all the seasons,… Autumn most clearly reveals the divinity and glory woven through all nature. The Autumn trees once verdant and full, shed their leaves, surrendering what is no longer useful to survival. It is not an act of death but of preparation that readies them for a more resilient life in the months to come. That ‘letting go’ demonstrates a divine wisdom that renewal requires release.”

The thought of the falling leaves preparing for a new and greater life reminded me of how I can and we can let go of “stuff” that no longer serves us. Nature is truly our teacher. When we clear out old ‘chachkis’,  clothes, books or ‘things in the garage we might use someday,” we are really benefitting, uplifting, and renewing ourselves!

Not only can we ‘let go’ of stuff we can ‘let go’ of outdated beliefs that no longer serve us as well. Cylvia says,

“Fall invites us to the sacred work of discernment, of letting go of the mental clutter, physical distractions and spiritual illusions that no longer serve our highest purpose. We must drop our beliefs and behaviors that sap our vitality and hinder our becoming. “

What behaviors or beliefs will you need to let go of this Fall?

What is hindering you?

• I am not strong enough to get through this challenge.
• I am not good enough for the job or promotion.
• I am not a good public speaker.
• I am not a good…..whatever.

What if you changed those words as your silent meditation everyday and say:

• I AM strong enough to get through this challenge.
• I AM good enough for the job or promotion.
• I AM a good public speaker.
• I AM a Divine Being and have ALL that I need to do, be and become here on earth, at this time and place. What I had once was indeed wonderful, and now I let go what no longer serves me.

Today let go of the old habits, old “stuff”, old beliefs and allow the NEW to take form in your life. Nature is our teacher. The Brilliant leaves of Fall are here for a season and then drop, to be restored and renewed for an even more glorious life.

Shedding the old and Bringing in the new.

Abigail and Steve

Dear Friends,

PEACE begins with a smile                                                                                               –Mother Theresa

PEACE is not the highest goal in life,it is the most fundamental requirement.          -Sadhguru

PEACE cannot be kept by force, it can only be achieved by understanding.               -Albert Einstein

This coming Sunday, September 21st is the International Day of Peace around the Globe. It is the day we stop for a moment at noon our local time and BE AT PEACE, Think Peace, Plant Seeds of Peace, Anchor PEACE in our hearts so we can be the strong holding ground for Peace.

Anchoring PEACE in our hearts and minds reminds me of the time I was sailing and we had to anchor our 28′ sailboat in a cove, inlet or bay. If we did not get the anchor in strong, our boat would drift out of the harbor or island protection and be tossed at sea. ANCHORING was indeed important for our health and well being.

In my everyday life today, ANCHORING PEACE in my heart, mind, soul and body is a daily practice with meditation, affirmative prayers and solitude. As sleepy as I am in the mornings, going to my “special” chair is a must. I love being there and communing with God. This anchors my day. I often write out prayer treatments for people and situations that may be challenging or tumultuous. After affirming GOD as PEACE, GOD as Who I am and Who they are, and GOD as the answer to All Prayers, I am At PEACE. I can feel it in my heart, soul and body.

Today ANCHOR yourself in PEACE. The International Day of Peace is a reminder of how important YOU ARE to creating PEACE on this Planet.

When we all take a moment this Sunday at noon to think PEACE, BE PEACE we are creating a MIND WAVE of PEACE CONSCIOUSNESS that goes around the world and affects Everyone!

Send Love, Send Light Send Peace

PEACE only happens when there is PEACE in your heart.

Anchoring in PEACE, Shalom, Salam, Shaanti, Paix, Paz, Pace, Heping,

• I AM Faith,
• I AM Strength
• I AM Wisdom
• I AM Love
• IAM Power
• I AM Imagination
• I AM Understanding
• I AM Will
• I AM Order
• I AM Zeal
• I AM Elimination
• I AM Life

Here is a beautiful morning affirmation.

“I am the living expression of divine power. I embody love, wisdom and strength in all I do.” –Rev. Jacquie Fernadez

Reading Rev. Jacque’s article in “Spirituality and Health,” reminded me of WHO I AM. I had just written down all the challenges Steve and I have had during 2025 so far; house, health, doctors, insurance, car, family, others coming up, and I was ready for 2026 to begin! However, looking back I realized how we embodied the Power of God, the Love of God and the Wisdom and Strength of God within us to move us through each experience.

Jacque’s article also talked about the 12 Powers of God and how these 12 Powers live and reign within and through us for we are not just Divine Potential, we are the “Divine Framework!” of God. I had never heard it written like that before and it resonated with me greatly. God is my Divine Framework! God is YOUR Divine Framework. The definition for “Framework” is:

“A framework is a particular set of rules, ideas, or beliefs which you use in order to deal with problems or to decide what to do.”

So what are these rules, beliefs and ideas? They are the 12 Powers of God within man. It is our divine framework and nature to use and activate at any time.

This reminds me of a TV show, “Touched by an Angel,” where one angel forgot who she was and unfortunately landed in a mental institution. Another angel came to her and reminded her she is never forgotten and she is an Angel of God. Once she remembered, all her angelic powers were restored.

We are never forgotten and are often reminded of WHO WE ARE.                               “Divinity in human form.” -Ernest Holmes.

When challenges occur REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE, the Divine Framework of God. The 12 Powers of God are within you. Activate them, bring them foreward, speak them, and declare:

• I AM Faith,
• I AM Strength
• I AM Wisdom
• I AM Love
• IAM Power
• I AM Imagination
• I AM Understanding
• I AM Will
• I AM Order
• I AM Zeal
• I AM Elimination
• I AM Life

“YOU were born already equipped with everything you need to live a life of purpose, peace and power.” Remember and Restore!

That is your DIVINE FRAMEWORK.
