Wow, it is August! So much has happen in this year. I took the social media break, went back and social media and feel like I have changed my algorithm. If you don't follow me over  on the "Gram", please head over to my FB and like! I post almost daily in the stories, which are linked to Facebook, so you can get all the updates there. 
This year so far I have achieve goals and hoping to achieve more goals. The biggest one to date, is getting into a program! I have used the practices of manifesting and visualization, and lucky enough the universe blessed me with my program at a reduced rate and I can take it now, over waiting! I can't wait to share the teachings.  The universe blessed me with having an amazing turn out this year in my "9-5" job, well more like "9-2" since I work part time outside of the home.  I took the courage to ask for small raise, not only was I blessed with the raise, but a policy was put in place so we don't have to ask for raises! I feel like that was a super goal for everyone I work with. This year has totally been about fulfilling some manifestations. 
And here we are in unity hitting the end of summer, where August is like the Sunday of summer.  August seems to be for me , literally everything hitting all at once. I never seen Sunday's being the end always the beginning, therefore I will take August and run with it.  I officially start my program in August and will most likely be doing that for the next couple of years, which I will tell more later in another blog post. In my personal life there is also some huge huge changes, I will be seeing some family members I have not seen and haven't seen in over 30 plus years. So the new beginnings are endless with my family. I am also becoming a parent again! It's a girl! Ok, really, my husband and I are hosting an exchange student from Thailand! We are so excited for our new "daughter" for the next school year. I want to blog about it, so we will see! The program we used is CIEE, I encourage you to please go check them out and if you feel like hosting a student, let me know in the comments and I will help you get to the right people! So August is just the beginning not the end for me! I am heading off in new adventures. 
So what  about this little old site here! Don't worry I plan on addressing that soon, but to give insight, I will be posting more in the blog. Be on the lookout for my plans! I am still working out a few  last minute details.  This is one Sunday where it's not the end but the beginning! I am ready! So see you soon my stardust friends. ...

Today I want to talk about some secrets to new beginnings, these are some of the teachings I have I learned over my coursework but also in life. I wanted to break them down on how they have helped me.  In bold letters is the affirmation one should take as an application in your life.  

Meditation: Through my daily practice of meditation, I establish and maintain contact with the ultimate, ongoing creative universal consciousness source-  God- the power of eternal new beginnings. 
 I meditate daily. This helps clear my mind of the 'clutter'  the negative thoughts that rush in the I can nots or will nots.  It helps me focus. Meditation, is more than just sitting and doing "oms"- There is many forms of meditation. I will be posting another blog post about that later. I have however posted in the past a few meditations in the past so please check them out in the archives. The purpose is to just connect. It is stated that even connections for mere seconds to the higher universal consciousness has a lifetime affect. So just do it! 


Visualization: Daily, I take a few moments, to visualize or imagine the interior of my body filled with the creative light of God’s presence from which all new beginnings originate before becoming physical manifestations.
This is time I do an internal dream board. I think it, therefore it becomes. It is so. I visualize as it is reality. For example, I am currently in the process of manifesting a new home for my husband and myself,  so daily I visualize my home with my home goods in a home. I also visualize new home goods in the home as well. I even picture the flowers on the porch, chickens outside and people coming to our home. I see us being happy and healthy in our new home. 

Release Past: I give thanks to God’s presence within for all past good I have experience and release this as well as all negativity of my past- that I may be in the universal God mind energies of new beginnings.
Releasing the past can be very hard, especially when you have been hurt, but it must be done. I have plenty of experience in this due to my experience growing up in an abusive home and of course having friendships that have turned bad. I have learned to hold on the good memories and release the bad. I will be honest releasing the negativity is hard. We as humans harbor on those negative emotions like stubborn old mules.  However, like I once told a good friend tiny breakthroughs make big cracks, therefore even the smallest releases of letting go of the past makes huge strides.  Also give thanks to those lessons as well.  
​
Will: I give up my personal will that God’s will is in charge of establishing exactly what new beginnings I should focus on.
I am sure many have heard the concept "Let go Let God",  well sometimes you just gotta do just that. 

Creativity: Universal Creating God Conscious idea energies flow into the conscious level of my mind initiate and complete new beginnings.
This is just allowing God to flow the creative conscious idea energies to flow in to your mind, to complete new beginnings. God will give you the answers and show you the way. It may come in a new thought, idea, business, job, journey, education, friendship and the list can go on........

Eternal Now: Whatever new beginnings God consciousness places in my conscious mind is already so- already a reality- already happened in universal consciousness or the mind of God.
Like I was stating above,  live it as it is so. Dream it as it as it is. Does this mean go out and spend beyond your means? No, we are speaking common sense people. However, take the steps towards the reality, to make the reality. 

Empowerment: I dwell in God and God in me who nature to create new beginning is indivalized in me to empower my body, mind and soul to be successful in creating new beginnings in physical life and beyond.
God is powerful, you are powerful- God is within you. 

I have been wondering how to write this post. I mean, the last thing everyone knew was hey I am in Portland, then hey I am back in Washington state. So I thought I  would write about. 
Portland was a lesson. Portland was a lesson that not only for myself but also my dear nephew whom I was sharing a house with to go through. Portland, was wonderful. I really liked Portland, even though the highways, caused me major anxiety, but I loved that I was so close to everything. But Portland, was also bringing about a lot of door closures. The weather was delaying my husband from moving our household goods, my husband's work was having nothing but problems trying to hire people to take his place, even though my husband was slated to transfer to Portland. At one point my husband was one of two people doing his job, the universe did not want my husband there. The universe wanted me in Portland, but not my husband. We was separated. It was so difficult. Here we was homeless for so long and finally had a place to go, and everything was keeping us apart. But for me, I had to be in Portland at the time. I do not regret my time in Portland, it happened for a reason. Lessons was learned. But I was sadden when I had to return back to Washington last month. It broke my heart, but also I was happy because I was near my husband and my rock. 
Last month, I thought to myself here we go again, I am staying with my soul sister. Which since last June, we had been staying there due to our homelessness. I ask the universe within myself, there needs to be a change. As I was now feeling like a burden on my soul sister. Let me note, I am far from a burden, but I am respectful of my sister, therefore asking her to not only to take me in, but now my son whom flew out to live in January. It weighs heavy on your heart, you do the things you can to help out etc, but it is her house and her things and you start to feel in the way after awhile, because this was only suppose to be a temporary thing not a permanent gig. As you can tell, this has been a huge struggle for me. So yes, when I asked the universe within, I just proclaimed a surrender. 
I started to look for housing. I started the process all over again, prepared myself a little better this time. I don't carry credit cards, and don't have a credit score above 600 therefore I knew the process was going to be hard. But I took deep breathes and formulated a plan- I allowed the road to be open. 
See Portland taught me what I really wanted, so allowing myself to be open to what I really wanted instead of settling, I allowed the laws of success to come my way.  The manifestations of not only what my husband wanted, but what my son needs and I need in life. My family will be taking over as caretakers for a dog sanctuary. I am beyond the moon about this. The best part of this experience, is not only will I be helping out animals but humans as well, since we will be having volunteers out there from different various programs. So as the door closed in Portland, the road opened for us in Washington. 
Hands of Hope Sanctuary  will be our new home. I will continue to do my practices out there once we relocated. I can not wait to share with everyone the happiness and peace. Never be afraid if a door closes, because the road is just opening up.
