What if you knew with complete certainty that the universe is always conspiring to help you? What if you never had a moment of angst because you knew however things were looking, they were unfolding perfectly for you, even if you couldn’t quite see how yet?

If your faith in the system was absolute, you would be in the energies of acceptance all the time. And it is acceptance that brings the deep and abiding peace you are all craving.

Dear Ones, you spend a tremendous amount of time in worry and doubt, and it does not serve you one bit. Why not start postponing worry and fear and try playing with the energies of faith and acceptance instead?

If about to fall into your usual pit of worry, why not try something different for a change? Perhaps you could tell yourself, “God’s got this.” Or ask, “Universe, please take care of this for the highest good of all.” Or, “Source is always loving me and guiding me.” “There is always a wonderful solution and it is coming together right now for me.”

If sitting in the energies of fear and doubt, time and again, is not giving you the results you wish, why not change your approach? Practicing faith, and acceptance, will bring profound and lasting change to your life, if you simply give it a chance. ~Archangel Gabriel

How Do You Define Success?

By Diane Wing M.A.

How many times have you looked around and felt that others were more successful than you feel you are?   Is it the amount of money they make, the large home, or the jet-set lifestyle they lead? Now look at them again.  Is it only the material things they have that you want?

I know many people in corporate jobs that make a lot of money, but who are unhappy in the rigid, political environment that is inherent in most large corporations.  Of course there are exceptions, but they are few and far between.  Climbing the corporate ladder or becoming famous or achieving a medical degree are some examples of what many feel defines success.

Society has its standards of what success looks like, and the majority of people strive to attain it despite how unhappy it makes them or how stressed they feel.  Succeeding by your own standards allows you to function in accordance with your true nature...

“In total surrender of the ego, the transformation of our vibration unfolds by itself to levels far beyond our imagination” – Annette Duveroth

It is often discussed whether or not destiny and fate are real, or if we come here with complete free will to create our life however we choose. Technically we can see the evidence of both. We hear stories of how people were in the right place at the right time to discover someone or something that completely changed their life.

People have dreams or premonitions of instances before they happen, which can only lead us to believe that some circumstances are fated to occur. On the other side of the coin, we see people who waste their entire lives on an addiction or in a dysfunctional relationship only to just grow older, get sicker and eventually just die, which leads to the question, “Was that really their destiny?”

Couldn’t a few better choices in their life have led them down a path that would have eventually led them to a happier and more fulfilling life?

If you have traveled to Mexico then chances are that you’ve seen the vibrant, scarlet-hued herbal tea known as hibiscus. Commonly referred to as “sour drink” in Iran, hibiscus not only is a refreshingly tart brew but also has been used worldwide as an effective medicinal beverage. Rich in vitamin C, alkaloids and bioflavonoids, this bright-red elixir is traditionally used for supporting respiratory and cardiovascular health, lowering blood pressure, maintaining fluid balance and alleviating insomnia.

And now, contemporary research has validated the herb as a health-promoting tonic in a variety of areas.
