I enjoy thinking positively and try each day to use an affirmation that wakes
up my mind and starts me traveling in a positive direction.  It's always
interesting and I love to find new ones. A new friend, Elena from Tulsa sent
me this one.  It really has everything covered!  Let me know what you think.

As I tithe and give offerings I am believing the Lord for: Jobs and Better Jobs,
Raises & Bonuses, Benefits, Sales and Commissions, Favorable Settlements,
Estates & Inheritances, Interest & Income. Rebates & Returns, Discounts &
Dividends, Checks in the Mail, Gifts and Surprises, Finding Money, Bills
Decreased, Bills paid off, Blessings & Increases. Thank you, Lord for seeing
that I may have more than enough to give unto the Kingdom of God and
promote the Gospel of Jesus Christ

(Now this is what I'd call a one size fits all!  Fantastic, isn't it?)

Pink Blinders!

Every reading has a challenge to it in that the reader must make a successful
connection to the other side whether it be a connection to the sitter's favorite aunt
Patsy or to their guardian angel, Raphael.  It is the responsibility of reader to bring
it about.  I  gladly accept that responsibility and daily strengthen my spirit and
Divine connection with meditation and prayer.  So, I'm prepared to communicate
and deliver the messages, yet, every once in a while nothing much happens.  That's
just the way of life for us humans.  No matter how much we think we are always
in control, we aren't!

It was late afternoon when my sitter, a woman I like very much and consider a
friend, called for her appointment.  At first Anna (not her real name) and I caught
up on our personal lives and then as Spirit made herself known I started to work, a
little this, a little that, all very pleasant, but something was missing.   No
grandparents, uncles or aunts, brothers or sisters wanted  to talk.  What was going
on?   Why the silent treatment?

Just about then I heard tears and sorrow coming from Anna.  Emotions were
getting the best of her and poor Anna felt entirely alone and unable to see her path,
let alone walk it.  So did I.  Where were my guides?  Where were Anna's guides?
Frustrated, confused I prayed, "Please help me to deliver just the right message for
Anna."  Nothing came to me. "OK, help, now," I urgently prayed, "tell me what to
say, tell me what to do."

Still no answer arrived.  What was going on?  Maybe this was the time to call the
reading finished and make a suggestion that she see a professional counselor.  
Sometimes that's the best choice.  "Anna," I said, slowly, as it had to be the time
to give up.

Before I could get the rest of my surrender out, Spirit surprised me.  Out of the
blue and into my mind appeared a  black horse wearing
 PINK BLINDERS!  
Yes, I really mean it.
 Pink Blinders!  Bright pink, happy blinders,  bubble
gum pink blinders.
 Nothing ordinary, no leather, no plastic.  Just the softest silk
ever spun.  Nothing binding, just the most comfortable fit ever imagined.  There
was absolutely nothing frightening about them.  And to my delight and relief, I
knew, I understood what my guides were telling me.  "Here's a tool for you and
Anna.  Use them."  

The blinders were nothing more than a tool to keep us focused on the road in front
of us.  When the mind is focused on what is before us, then peripheral distractions
and 'what if' fears aren't nearly as frightening.  We don't have to focus on them.  
We have a tool to help us look toward the Divine and thus stay calm.   And
thankfully, I actually understood all of that.  That beautiful horse was simply a
messenger bringing Anna a gift.

"You're not gonna believe this," I said greatly relieved, " but my guides just
showed me a black horse wearing..."  "What?" she responded, "did you say
PINK
BLINDERS?
"  "I sure did," I laughed.  "Anna, you might have felt lost, but a
beautiful black horse wearing pink blinders just came to guide you along your
path."

During the next hour Anna and I talked and listened as Spirit revealed an exercise
to build up our faith and our trust.  Of course, I immediately claimed a pair of
pink blinders for myself.  I figured if  the Divine cared enough to give Anna a gift,
you know darn well, we all get a pair of them - IF we choose to accept them.

Just one thing more.  If this sounds like something you  want to experiment with,
keep reading.  I've written all the directions below. Have fun and play, yes, play
because the better you can imagine the pink blinders helping you stay focused, the
better the results.

Bring on those Pink Blinders

Whenever your path is layered by rocky emotions, and fears, and you can't see
your path, here's what you do:

1.  Reach up to heaven and imagine a beautiful angel delivering your very own
personalized  pair of blinders,
PINK BLINDERS.

Make this experience your own.  If you want purple blinders, fine!  If you want the
black shinny horse to deliver them, fine.  Your guardian angel doesn't care about
color, mine simply loves the color pink and I prefer angel shapes to horse shapes.
What 's important is that you grab on to help from the Divine.
 

2.  Look down at your path.  Scary, huh. Never fear. That angel I told you about is
also carrying  some other magical, mystical tools and gets to work sweeping your
problems up into nice easy to handle little piles. Didn't you always know, God
never gives us more than we can handle?  Anyone can handle one day at a time.
Even ME. Even YOU!

3.  See the angel again.  Beautiful, isn't she/he?  And here is a job for you.  The
angel carries a pocketful of
 GRATITUDE just right for sprinkling over the path.  
Do it now, have fun.  Toss it all over your life.  In every hardship and over every
fear spread some
GRATITUDE.  After all, if we didn't have problems how would
we ever appreciate JOY! So be grateful!

4.  Here's the best part - and the last part.  When you've spread enough

GRATITUDE
in your life, the only thing it can manifest into is ATTITUDE.  
Down home
'I CAN DO IT!  Peaceful acceptance of my life.  Anything is
possible with the Divine.  Anything is possible with God - We can get through
anything if our sight is on the DIVINE, not the fear.

5.
 Wear those Pink Blinders Proudly!

Often  I copy a thought down on any random sheet of paper
thinking I will use it again, but seldom do I.
Below is one of those thoughts that is worthy of remembering.
Unfortunately, I have no memory of where I found it.
If you know who said it, drop me a line and let me know.
"Nothing is predestined.  Obstacles of your past can become
thegateway that lead to new beginnings."
