    <title>But I LOVE ME anyway!</title>
    <link>http://www.goddess-body-mind-spirit.com/Goddess-blog.html#But-I-LOVE-ME-anyway!</link>
    <description>When I look at myself or my life and have a negative criticism about them, I will say, &quot;But I LOVE ME anyway!&quot; 

Life is about living to the fullest not being perfect. 

I choose to love me because when I do I live better.  

&lt;I&gt;&lt;B&gt;&quot;I embrace the perfection that I am despite appearances.&quot;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;

    <title>Note From the Universe Regarding You and Christmas</title>
    <link>http://www.goddess-body-mind-spirit.com/Goddess-blog.html#Note-From-the-Universe-Regarding-You-and-Christmas</link>
    <description>&lt;I&gt;&lt;B&gt;&quot;If it&#39;s not yet obvious to you, the real reason for this, and all seasons, is YOU. 

A more perfect child of the Universe has never lived. Until now, only celebrations cloaked in myth and mystery could hint at your divine heritage and sacred destiny. 

You are life&#39;s prayer of becoming and its answer. The first light at the dawn  of eternity, drawn from the ether, so that I might know my own depth, discover new heights, and revel in seas of blessed emotion.

A pioneer into illusion, an adventurer into the unknown, and a lifter of veils. Courageous, heroic, and exalted by legions in the unseen.

To give beyond reason, to care beyond hope, to love without limit; to reach, stretch, and dream, in spite of your fears. These are the hallmarks of divinity - traits of the immortal - your badges of honor. May you wear them with a pride as great as the immeasurable pride we feel for you.

Your light has illuminated darkened paths, your gaze has lifted broken spirits, and already your life has changed the course of history.

This is the time of year we celebrate YOU!

Bowing before Greatness,
    The Universe&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;

    <title>Invest Your Life Force Energy in NOW!</title>
    <link>http://www.goddess-body-mind-spirit.com/Goddess-blog.html#Invest-Your-Life-Force-Energy-in-NOW!</link>
    <description>&lt;B&gt;I will not invest my life force energy in anything, person or situation that conjures negative feelings.  I will only invest my life force energy in that which I desire.

A way to stop investing my life force energy in negative things and that which I don&#39;t desire is by keeping my mind present in the now.  I ask myself what can I do NOW. 

As a results the steps that I am to take will be seen, I will experience more peace and life will feel better.&lt;/B&gt;</description>

    <title>Feeling Seperated from the Love of the The Divine:  Then Read This.</title>
    <link>http://www.goddess-body-mind-spirit.com/Goddess-blog.html#Feeling-Seperated-from-the-Love-of-the-The-Divine:-Then-Read-This.</link>
    <description>&lt;CENTER&gt;&lt;I&gt;&lt;B&gt;The rain is pouring down like all the souls You send here coming to this Earth to find healing.

Mother Earth takes in the rain like Your heart takes my voice.

Let us free each other with our prayers, with our voice...

I bowed my head to God and God took all of me. Every imperfection...God took all of me. 

And everyday God lives and breathes  through me. 

Looking in the mirror I love you Sweet God. 

Kindness of the Heart, Breathe of Life-
I bow to You. 

Divine Teacher, Beloved Friend.  I bow to you.  I bow to you again and again.

Lotus sitting on the water beyond time and space. This is Your rain.  This is Your grace.&lt;P&gt;

~Snatnam Kaur&lt;/CENTER&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;

I don&#39;t know if anyone is feeling separated from the love of God/The Great Mother. 

It is impossible for us to be separated from the Love of God/The Great Mother  for The Divine is &lt;B&gt;EVERPRESENT&lt;/B&gt;.

If you feel separated from the Love of the Divine Creator/Creatrix, know that it is only an illusion, a perception in your mind.

Your &lt;B&gt;BREATH is DIVINE!&lt;/B&gt; Your breath is a &lt;B&gt;DIVINE CONNECTION&lt;/B&gt;. If you are breathing then you are connected to GOD/The Great Mother.

There is no place that the Divine cannot be so please look in the mirror and there you shall find the presence of God/The Great Mother. This is why we cannot find God &lt;B&gt;OUT THERE&lt;/B&gt;, we must find the presence of the Supreme Deity by going &lt;B&gt;WITHIN&lt;/B&gt;.

God/The Great Mother is &lt;B&gt;OMNIPRESENT&lt;/B&gt;. Sense it. Know it. Live it.</description>

    <title>Whose eyes are you using to look at YOU?&quot;</title>
    <link>http://www.goddess-body-mind-spirit.com/Goddess-blog.html#Whose-eyes-are-you-using-to-look-at-YOU?</link>
    <description>&lt;B&gt;&quot;Have you ever seen yourself through the eyes of someone else that you have become?...And looked at yourself through the eyes of the ultimate observer?&quot;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/B&gt;
&lt;B&gt;~Ramtha, &lt;I&gt;What the Bleep Do We Know&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;

This is a statement that I ponder today.  

I have watched &lt;I&gt;What The Bleep Do We Know&lt;/I&gt; many times and these questions always grab my attention.

When I hear these words, I usually put my self in a place of objectivity.  I look at my life and seek to be as real as I can about how much I am living in alignment with Divine Truth.

But this quote by Ramtha is something deeper than that. 

I have heard that it is important to view myself through the eyes of the observer.  &quot;Be an observer of your life,&quot; is what so many have said to me.

What  in the heck does that REALLY mean?

But this is what Ramtha is asking?. Have we ever viewed ourselves, not just observed, but really been in the position of the ultimate observer?

The view is different.  It is inner vision like I have never experienced it before.

If none of this makes sense, then that is okay.  If you can step into objectivity and see your life from that place, then that is good.

But set your intention to see yourself from the place of the ultimate observer, which is the part of you that transcends your limited physical identity.

We will stop here for now.  There is more to come.

&lt;B&gt;&lt;I&gt;~Tirra-Olufemi&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/I&gt;</description>

    <title>Martyrdom:  What is it really?  When is it rather toxic?</title>
    <link>http://www.goddess-body-mind-spirit.com/Goddess-blog.html#Martyrdom:-What-is-it-really?-When-is-it-rather-toxic?</link>
    <description>&lt;CENTER&lt;I&gt;&lt;B&gt;Martyrdom is the only way in which a man can become famous without ability.   
~George Bernard Shaw&lt;/CENTER&gt;&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;

I have always enjoyed watching the last  part of Dr. Martin Luther 
King Jr&#39;s historic last speech.  Today  as I listened to it I heard: 

&lt;I&gt;&quot;He was a true martyr.&quot;  Then I heard,  &quot;True martyrs don&#39;t grieve dying 
for their cause.  They have no  attachments.  This is different 
from people who live as martyrs for  love.  Dr. King clearly shows 
that he knows that he came here to do a  specific thing and that 
his work was done.  He was not attached  to him ACTUALLY SEEING 
the end result because he saw it  spiritually first.&quot; &lt;/I&gt;&lt;P&gt;

I will never grieve for true martyrs  again.  Sometimes we have to 
die to this physical world for the  greater good.  I give thanks 
for the true martyrs of this world. 

&lt;B&gt;To all of those who are martyrs with  the expectation of sacrificing 
your dreams, your happiness and peace  to get love from others, STOP! 
You are not doing the world any favors.&lt;/B&gt; 

Once you see the big picture then you  will stand and live.  You  
will give of yourself freely knowing  that the ultimate is 
your fulfilling your destiny within the  Greater Divine Plan 
of Oneness.

Martyrs...yes..I do better understand  them today.&lt;P&gt;

    <title>Gratitude vs Appreciation ...Is there really a difference?</title>
    <link>http://www.goddess-body-mind-spirit.com/Goddess-blog.html#Gratitude-vs-Appreciation-...Is-there-really-a-difference?</link>
    <description>As I have pondered gratitude as a   spiritual practice I have found a Abraham-Hicks video called Gratitude vs. Appreciation  
and was pleasantly surprised by what I  heard. 

I have never considered that there is a  difference between  
gratitude and appreciation; however,  according to Abraham-Hicks there 
is.

Gratitude is reflecting on that which  has already happened and 
feeling thankful BUT on some level we  are still in vibrational 
alignment with the situation.

Gratitude for me would be looking  back at my weight issue feeling 
thankful for transcending it.  A phrase  that I have heard before 
to describe my thankful reflection  would be, &quot;I may not be where I 
need to be but I am not where I used to be.&quot;

That is how I feel regarding my  weight.  I am not where I desire 
to be but when I look back on where I  come from, I feel so thankful 
for now AND then.   

Again, in some way there is still some  vibrational connection to 
the overweight experience with  gratitude at the very least because I  have 
thought on it.

Abraham  went on to say that the difference 
between gratitude and appreciation is  like the difference between 
motivation and inspiration.  Motivation is external and inspiration 
is internal.

Appreciation is  a calling to 
be more of who you are.  There is no  lack involved there is  
simply an in the moment experience of  feeling thankful for where 
you are right here right now.

Feelings of thankfulness stem from  understanding all of  who you  
are and operating from your divinity  and the truth that you  
live in an abundant Universe.

I was a little shocked to say the least  when I heard this.  
Initially I could not even wrap my mind  around what they were saying 
and even had to listen to the video a  few times more to grasp if 
I even believed this.

What I have done is sought to see if I  have this experience of 
being in gratitude as being different  from being in appreciation.

I can honestly say that I now know the difference for myself. 

When I think on my body in  appreciation, there are no flaws.  I 
feel a deep level of thankfulness for  having this physical body 
and the opportunity to have a blast  while I am here.

I don&#39;t think on the past I only feel  the good in the now of 
my beautiful body and I look forward to  the good that I shall 
experience that lays ahead.

I don&#39;t think that there is anything  wrong with gratitude.  Gratitude has its place.  But what I am  getting is that walking 
in appreciation is more in alignment with divine truth.

There is power in gratitude.  We are  able to transcend victimhood 
and begin to take back ownership of our  power.

The power in appreciation is that we  are already in our power 
and seeking to use it in a deliberate  way.

So get your gratitude &amp; appreciation  on!</description>

    <title>The Credit Balance...YOUR Credit Blalance!</title>
    <link>http://www.goddess-body-mind-spirit.com/Goddess-blog.html#The-Credit-Balance...YOUR-Credit-Blalance!</link>
    <description>At my commencement exercise in 1992 Maya Angelou said something like this:  Your Ancestors have already 
paid a price for you.  Now it is your turn pay for those who would come behind you. &lt;P&gt;
So no matter who you believe paid the price OPERATE FROM THE CREDIT BALANCE 
AND STOP OPERATING FROM THE DEFICIT. There is no deficit regarding YOU! 
Keep withdrawing from the credit balance &amp; pay toward our descendents credit balance w/ GOOD WORKS!</description>

    <title>What&#39;s this about dialoguing with your problems?!</title>
    <link>http://www.goddess-body-mind-spirit.com/Goddess-blog.html#What&#39;s-this-about-dialoguing-with-your-problems?!</link>
    <description>Quit trying to have a human dialogue with your problems!  

All you should expect is them to say, &quot;What you said!  Yes, that is what I am doing NOW!&quot; and to become the solution that you speak.  

When you operate from the truth which is that The Divine is omnipotent and omniscient then you know that you are the master of your universe and that you reign over all of your creations. 
 
You are a Divine Being.  Stop letting this physical universe make you think otherwise.

No more conversing with your problems.  Instead be, think, feel, speak and do your way to the desires of your heart.</description>

    <title>Understanding the Construction of Your World</title>
    <link>http://www.goddess-body-mind-spirit.com/Goddess-blog.html#Understanding-the-Construction-of-Your-World</link>
    <description>Most of us are doing what we do each and everyday because we have a  construction our mind that tells this is how the world is.

But if we want different results it  does not begin with action.  It begins 
with changing the construct in our  mind. 

It is important to remove the template  that dictates that life should be lived 
in this way in order for you to have  success or to thrive. 

We spend a large part of our lives adopting a certain way of understanding the  world.  it is important that the other half be devoted to deconstructing this  understanding 
if it is not in alignment with truth. 

So if you are unhappy in your life, in  your work the first thing to do is 
go to your mind to see what your  template looks like.  Remove anything  that 
is causing you to remain in your  behavior loop. 

Sometimes we may have to scrap everything we think the world to be and allow 
the truth to emerge so that we can live freely and as the avatars that we are.</description>

    <link>http://www.goddess-body-mind-spirit.com/Goddess-blog.html#Inspiration-for-YOU:-You-can-run-but-you-cannot-hide-from-this....</link>
    <description>God/The Great Mother&#39;s Love is  everpresent so you can run but you  can&#39;t hide from it! Just go ahead and  bask and soak in this Divine Love.  Drink it up. Soak it up! Allow it to  fill your consciousness so much that  you pass out in ecstacy from this  love. 

Yeah, God/The Great Mother is  Omnipresent.

    <title>Life Review and Gratitude</title>
    <link>http://www.goddess-body-mind-spirit.com/Goddess-blog.html#Life-Review-and-Gratitude</link>
    <description>It is so amazing to me how much  synchronicity abounds when I walk aware.

A few days ago I heard the recounting of a story of a many who 
had a near death experience.  During a  life review he was shown 
all of his life.

The story teller said that what  disturbed this man most was not 
what he saw but what he realized he  missed out on by not  
appreciating and walking in gratitude  for his life.

He missed out on more when he was  caught up in self-pity and 
missed the bigger picture.

So I decided to post what the  ArachAngel Jeremi-EL has to say about Life Review:

&lt;I&gt;&lt;B&gt;&quot;Take inventory of your life and  resolved to change or heal  
anything that&#39;s unbalanced.&quot;

It takes courage to look at your life.  Yet, if done with compassion and a sense of humor, you&#39;ll grow and learn from a life review.

I&#39;ll help you take stock of where  you&#39;ve been.  We&#39;ll look at what you&#39;ve learned, and how these lessons are a  valuable  
asset for today and tomorrow.

We&#39;ll also notice life patterns that  aren&#39;t serving your highest 
good, and we&#39;ll take steps to release  those patterns.&quot; &lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;

Maat is the Goddess whose wisdom is  speaking to the 
Goddess-Body-Mind-Spirit.com community  this year.  She says 
to look at the big picture to see how  all of the pieces 
fit together to make the whole.

As I see it self-life review is a way  for us to put all of 
our individual experiences into  perspective to see how 
they lead us to remember our wholeness.  

It is really neat that I attended Bible  study tonight and 
this is the very topic that we  discussed:  the importance of 
self-examination.

As I listened I realized how this  life-review is important 
to experiencing more gratitude.  I see  it as I do the process 
of unraveling a mystery.  

Each experience, each belief, each  attitude, emotion and 
vibration is a clue that leads to  another clue that leads to 
another clue.

After connecting the clues the mystery is no longer and is now self-realization.

Life review can be used to experience  more gratitude for after 
a while one can&#39;t help but be happy amd grateful for their 
life.  

May you realize the beauty of your life  and the giftedness that is you as  a result of your own life review.  

&lt;I&gt;&lt;B&gt;And so it is.&lt;P&gt;
Tirra-Olufemi&lt;/I&gt;&lt;/B&gt;</description>
