The Power of Life
In our Advent Booklet, today, Rev. Elizabeth Longo reminds us that the past is gone. I am free—unbound and unlimited—to create the life I desire. I am a living, breathing miracle. The universe surrounds me with love and support, conspiring for my highest good. It gently reminds me that I am fully divine and fully human.
I listen to the still, small voice within that assures me, You matter. You are worthy. Follow your heart. You are deeply and wholly loved.
With a grateful heart, I celebrate With a grateful heart, I celebrate the radiant life ever unfolding within me.
QUOTES

ON A PERSONAL NOTE
Personally, I find that it is important to have a focus or an intention behind any endeavour.
Spending time with the intention to care for my mental health and spiritual well-being is always an effort. At the same time it can be fun! Reading short, warm, and enlightening messages and affirmations, doing a short task or listening to a piece of music take only a few minutes a day but it makes a gigantic difference in my life. During these few minutes a day, I peek out of the darkness, the world full of woe, into the Light: into the Peace, Joy, Love and Warmth of the Divine Presence.
I am going to walk this Christmas journey contemplating on the Divine Light and enjoying the sense of Peace, Joy and Love that it comes with.
