"There is
beauty in everyone, everything, everyplace.
All of life is either love or a call for love.
Underneath the layers of any fears
is always a call for more love.
Either from your own soul,
yourself to be reflected in your own world.
Outer appearance means nothing is its only the light
within one's heart that matters
no matter who it is."
~ Lori Flory ~
I truly try to live everyday like this, I know many of us do!:) Though
no better or lesser ..... I love people, animals, birds, bugs etc ....
WE are all amazing! Everyone, everything, everywhere has something to teach us in every
day and every experience -- Ain't Life Grand!! There is something to learn, someone who
needs upliftment everyday. (Sometimes
even me!:) Happiness is an inner thingy!:) Life is an attitude:)
There have been times at work that I have told a customer that they are
important to me and once one of them asked "Are you paid to say this?"
and I said nope! Its from my heart!:) Each soul I encounter is important
to me (including myself!:).
Being human too and sometimes!! ..... :) Hey I fall flat on my face too,
far from perfect, as fallible as anyone:) ~~~ but I prefer the positive
attitude. The Golden rule goes both ways ............... treat yourself
as you would like others to treat you and also treat others the way you
would like others to treat you as well:) with love, acceptance, an open
heart and mind, trust and respect:) In giving - we give to ourselves as
well.
Every experience can be a gift to learn from if we allow it to be:)
I love you all!:) ....... laughing, in joy and fun! Lori

BY YOUR SPIRITUAL FRUITS YOU SHALL BE KNOWN
from The Wisdom Teachings of
Archangel Michael
- through Lori Jean Flory as told to Brad Steiger.
Clearly flows forth the light of God to each individual being on Earth.
Clearly, purely, filled with intense all encompassing love, the light of
God flows forth to each heart engaged in the dance of life. The
wellspring of God's love is infinitely deep and without limit. It is a
well of light that can provide you with the truth whenever you look
within its depths in meditation.
The Wellspring of God's love, contains God consciousness. Angel
consciousness, Love consciousness. It also holds the consciousness of
all interconnectedness, the ONENESS of all things.
This is the consciousness of respect for the sacredness of all life,
from the ladybug crawling on a blade of grass to the eagle exploring the
chartless skies. It is the consciousness of knowing that there is a
spirit within all things. You are the fruit of your own vine, the
summation of all that you have ever been, and have experienced upon the earth.
Lift your thoughts, feelings and actions high in intent and light. ask
for our guidance in choosing always the right action, the pure thought,
the proper emotion in all situations. We shall assist you in making your
choices. Let the fruits of your being be pure, sweet and loving.
Let them provide spiritual nutrition not only for your beloved self, but
for others as well. Let the fruits of your spirit be love; the fruits of
your soul be compassion; the fruits of your heart be the intensity of
God's light that shines forth. You have often heard it said "By their
fruits you shall know them". Test what you hear, test what you see and
sense.
Be not like those three monkeys that cover eyes, ears and mouths to
avoid evil. Learn to discern truth by that which spirit speaks through
the heart. Always test what you perceive - and the heart shall speak the
truth. By their fruits ye shall know them.
Listen for the truth that is unique to your own being. Let your fruits
radiate with divine fragrance, color, light and the sweetness of LOVE!

"We are what we think
We become what we believe
Our life is what we visualize
Our life is what we say it is
***
We are changing our lives
by changing our thoughts
***
Our thoughts and words are all-powerful.
Through our thoughts and words,
we create our lives.
We are the only ones who have complete control
over our thoughts and words
because we are the only thinkers in our minds.
This is why we are so powerful."
****************************************************************************
"The Power of Inner Work
The real point of power is inside. So do the inner work. Examine your thoughts and
attitudes, dump the ones that don't work - and adopt the focus that will create the life
you want to live.
And leave the outer plane alone.
The outer plane will take care if itself. It's like a magical computer
printout of your life; anytime you press the print command, it will give
you an exact reading of what you are thinking on the inner plane.
So forget struggle. Forget hardship. Forget poverty, sickness and
unhappiness. Do the inner work and start enjoying your life right now."
From 'The Road to Power - Fast Food for the Soul', by Barbara Berger.

If through insecurity you perpetually concentrate on misfortune, that
act of concentration draws to you the very things you've been hoping to
avoid. It comes along and bites you on the bum. It finds you.
In fact it will cross town to get you."
From 'The Secrets of Life', by Stuart Wilde.
***************************************************************************
There is nothing to strive for.
There is only to awaken from the dream.
Be embraced in Love,
And there will be all you need.

"The best and most beautiful things in the world
cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart."
Helen Keller (1880-1968)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
What lies behind you and what lies before you is
nothing compared to what lies within you."
Don't give up on yourself. You know you are a good person.
Forgive yourself and move on.
There are lessons to be learned in every place. The mark of spiritual
mastery is the ability to remember God wherever we go, and through
whatever we experience.
Alan Cohen, The Dragon Doesn't Live Here Anymore

YOUR LIGHT CAN CHANGE THE WORLD
by Beverly Hale Watson
For some, life is but a game, surrounded in a maze of lies and schemes.
the ultimate goal is winning through deception. Why must one feel the
need for total concealment of who they truly are? Truth is, at a soul
level, they know what is unacceptable behavior. We ask the question:
"How many people do you know within your circle of family/friends whose persona truly
represents the person they really are? What you see is exactly what you get? These
individuals do not wear masks, nor do they play multiple roles depending upon the people
they are with.THEY JUST ARE! In this day and age it's rare to find those who are truly
pure of
heart, hiding nothing..... an open book, an open door.
So how does one become comfortable with Self? First of all you must LOVE YOURSELF!!!! You
must take responsibility for the person you really are, regardless of the flaws and
blemishes that we all have. The creator made you as a gift in its image. The REAL YOU is
spirit, a spark of light flickering from within a lamp. It is truth each lamp is unique in
design. Some are tall and lean while others are short and stout. there
is a wide variety of lamps that come in many colors, styles, sizes and
shapes and each with a specific purpose. However collectively, their
ultimate job is to provide light that others might see more easily.
Your light flickers 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The question is,
what kind of light is it providing? It is self contained and only lights
up your immediate close surroundings? Is it a spot light that sheds
light over a large area, thereby serving as an enabler for many people.
Is it like a traffic light that is in constant motion changing from one
color to another but yet only has a limited purpose? Is it like a night
light showing the way in places of darkness? Or is it a light within a
lamp that can radiate light with a soft glow, a medium hue or a great
brightness? Or is it a light like a lighthouse that shines far out over
the waters of people's lives?
Your light radiates a spectrum of energy where ever you go. Your light,
affects every person whom you interact with. You are responsible for the
rays your light emits. What is it your light accomplishes? Does it
attract others to it because of its warmth and love, does it provide a
source allowing others to see, is the light so powerful, others must
protect themselves so that they don't get burned? Or is your lamp
radiating a multitude of light frequencies that emanate the God source
that is within?
Co create your reality:) Co create with God who you will be in every
moment. Thoughts become things. It is just as easy to focus on love,
abundance, prosperity, health, happiness, joy, wisdom, understanding,
grace, forgiveness, oneness, and peace as it is fear and other things.
Focus attention upon resolving differences, reaching out to those in
need, share your gifts in whatever they might be, feed the hungry, house
the homeless, spread love and peace. Use your light to energize other
lamps that they might see the I AM within you. If each person would take
this responsibility the earth would be filled with lamps of light!
Beverly Hale Watson.
