Week of August 19th, 2007

How to Use This Site:
At the beginning of each week I will ask for blessings and guidance and then randomly pull or write my thoughts for the titles below. Hopefully I have pulled from a variety of topics that will be of inspiration to you today! Read them all or scroll down until you find a topic that interests you. I hope you enjoy yourself and I hope I have brought a smile to your face and heart today! And please feel free to leave a comment or to email me. Blessings to all. I love you and have a great day! (Note: Whether you are a Christian, Buddha, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, Agnostic, Atheist or any other sector of manmade religion, know that I say my prayers and share with you my thoughts in honor of all human beings, no matter what they call their own personal God. And that in my writings, the word GOD is what I personally use to relate to the almighty spirit of one; who encompasses everything and everyone within this universe and anywhere beyond the scopes of our imagination. The One who sets the laws of life (at least for me) and has always been there to guide, teach and protect me. So please use the name that brings you closer to your own heart as my messages go out to al, who wish to read what is in my heart.)

Inspirational Saying for this Week : by S.L. Jones - © 8-19-2007
When life seems like it's holding you back; STOP! Take a deep breathe, look and see the picture around you. What do you see? Maybe the path you're on has come to a dead end. Maybe it's time to turn left or right and start a new path where new things will open up for you! Maybe your still living in the past, so therefore you're in-reality holding yourself back and refuse to move forward. The universe does not stop! The grass will continue to find a way to grow, no matter how many obstacles have been put in it's path. Like when you look down at a cement sidewalk and through one small crack you'll see that blade of grass, still trying to shine! So to you my dear friends, be the grass and know you will grow again! You may not have asked to have your life cemented up, so search until you can find that crack again and push your way through so you too can shine!

Today’s Prayer: Lead by Rev. Sharon L. Jones
Dear God:
There are so many things we don't understand. There are so many challenges we have to face on a daily bases. There are days we wonder, wow, how did we ever make it through? But isn't it amazing, that we do! God if you can hear our prayer this week, help us to remember that through difficult or challenging times you are there and are carrying us. When we get angry or discouraged, shine some light our way so that we see hope, remind us not to be afraid to ask for help as we go out in the world this week, give us the strength, courage and peace to make this week a successful one. In your name God and through Jesus we pray. Amen.

Tarot Card for the Week: The Magician - reversed
The Magician for the most part represents self. How you see yourself, how you use your magic powers from within to create who you are. When the magician is reversed, pay attention, are you lacking confidence in yourself or others? Are you deceiving yourself or maybe some one is deceiving you? As the magician you have the power to create your own personal successes or failures. Because this card is reversed for the week, look around you; are you deceiving yourself? Like a magician deceives his audience! Be kind to yourself this week and no that you do have the inner strength to create magic in your life and to make your dreams come true. When you start thinking more positively, you will find magic in everything.

Playing Card Divination: Three of Clubs
The Three of Clubs could represent a temporary setback or unpleasantness in ones life. (Remember the word Temporary If you are feeling something’s up, you may be right this week. Is someone gossiping or is it you? The outcome of this will be determined by your actions and thoughts, if you are loving, forgiving, understanding, caring, etc. Whether it be to yourself; for doubting yourself or causing pain to someone else or if someone has harmed you in some way, Then the unpleasantness will pass quickly. If you hold onto and react in a negative way or resentful way, then the game will continue and the unpleasantness will remain until you, yourself, choose to release it. So it is truly your choice how long you want the “Temporary” time period to be!

Today’s Saying from the Aquarian Gospel: Section III 11:11
Return to him who does you wrong your purest love, and he will cease from doing wrong; for love will purify the heart of him who is beloved as truly as it purifies the heart of him who loves.
