Hi Everyone!
So I'm up at our cabin-just getting a much needed mini vacation with my cute little family. We bought us a little cabin (fixer upper) a year ago and boy are we doing a ton of work on it. I must realize that these are the times for making memories, despite getting lost in the commotion and disorganization of putting a new toilet in. Yes, we will remember the great moment of having a nice warm commode to sit on instead of taking a walk out to the shed where our porta pot lives (the dreaded throne). Something to look back on and say...."remember when we walked for 10 miles, in hip deep snow, up hill both ways to .....oh yea-that was my mothers story. Isn't life easier these days?
Have a great weekend!

Listen & follow your personalized gift of INSPIRATION
I am a huge fan of going by your "gut" feelings. I must admit I have not always trusted my own thoughts. I have done things over and over again that I know are not right-out of plain dumb habit. I need to "quiet my head", pray and ask for inspiration...or an "answer". I truly believe that if we seek after the right things and our heart is pure with good intentions-we will be blessed with true inspiration by simply asking for it. I feel so very blessed that I get this inspiration, in full detail and color-a nice visual, mostly at odd times, such as the wee hours of the morning. How do I "know" for sure it is Divine Inspiration? My answer in simple. If it is positive, helps you and/or others, and you feel very emotionally moved-there is no question in my own mind. I know that we all have the exact same opportunity to receive these precious insights, instructions, answers, directions or even comfort-are we aligned and in tune to receive this awesome gift?
I challenge you all to pray (if you don't believe in prayer-meditate), quiet your mind, focus on something you are needing, struggling with, or desire...listen....listen and keep listening. ASK! ASK! ASK! Your answer or inspiration my come as a small voice, it may be a visual, it may be a "gut feeling"-or it may not even come until later when something (or someone) appears in your life that you need to help "take care" of whatever it is you need or are asking for. It's pretty simple. I think that is why it is so overlooked. I also believe that if we continue to "ignore" or we don't follow our inspired thoughts (or visuals, as in my case) we will not receive them any longer. They are like our muscles-use them or LOSE THEM! This reminds me of a story someone told me about prayer: A young women was frantically looking for a parking space. She was about to be late for a very important interview for a great new job opportunity. She began to pray out loud in her car begging God to help her find a parking spot as she promised Him she would go to church if He would just help her at that desperate moment. All of the sudden, a front row spot became available as the car backed out to free up her opportunity she had prayed for. She was thrilled and exclaimed in prayer-"never mind God-here is a spot, I found one"!
How insensitive and dense are we by not recognizing answers right before our eyes? Open your eyes and your hearts-we are all blessed with so much right in front of us. Remember, we all have the EXACT SAME OPPORTUNITY for Inspiration...recognize it! Follow it! Use it! appreciate it, be grateful for it, and THANK THE SOURCE IN WHICH IT COMES FROM. I can promise you-if you do these things-you will be blessed with whatever inspiration you need when you are ready for it:)
Love, Wendy
