The Joy of Quotes:

In the fall of September 2000, I was entering the new chapter of my life and starting University.  I remember having mixed emotions about the next phase.  I was no longer in my comfort zone of familiarity with friends, teachers and routine.  The high school years had come to an end and I wasn’t in my safe haven anymore.   However, I was beginning University and this was going to transform my life in profound ways.  

It was on one particular afternoon I stumbled into the University gift-store and discovered a journal.  It had the sun on the front and the moon on the back cover.  I reveled at the the divine elements of nature, the yin and yang.  The journal was empty but contained quotes written inside.  I was intrigued by the journal and from that moment forward I decided to call it my “Book of Quotes”.  I was nineteen at that time and started to collect quotes on life, faith, love, motivation, prayer and various other topics.   I’m presently thirty-one and refer to my book of quotes on a daily basis.  

Quotes have helped me during the most challenging times in my life from dealing with guidance, reflection, and inner peace.  Quotes touch my heart and soul as they offer inspiration whenever I’m having a weak moment.  I often send daily quotes to friends and family as a way of spreading joy and motivation.  I believe that little acts of kindness can go a far way.  The message I want to convey to everyone is that life is a process; we are all on our individual journey to find our place.  

Having quotes has been a reminder to treasure the simplicity of each day.   Quotes contain messages that light our inner spirit. I’m extremely grateful to share wise words from various enlightened beings.   I believe we all are here on earth to serve a divine purpose and I truly feel by spreading the joy of quotes I’m helping others in need. 

Here are a few of my favourite quotes:

As your faith is strengthened you will find that there is no longer the need to have a sense of control, that things will flow as they will, and that you will flow with them, to your great delight and benefit.
Emmanuel Teney 

Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward the life that God intended for you with grace, strength, courage, and confidence. – Unknown

“Listen to your heart. It knows all things, because it came from the Soul of the World and it will one day return there.” Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist 

The piece above is the first article I drafted at the age of 31. Presently, I am in my early 40’s and connecting the dots as I go backwards. Writing nourishes my heart and allows guidance from spirit to emerge. I am certain many other writers feel the same way. I have taken much time as of late to go inwards, which I believe many sensitive souls require to recharge. Solitude is when the journey begins, and the dance of effortless transformation unfolds like a rose, one petal at a time. Writing is my way of being service to humanity. It brings joy to my spirit, to uplift others with the written word. I hope there is something in your life that causes your soul to feel alive, to soar and bring healing light upon others. May you continue to share your gifts!

A New Earth 

In 2020, I wrote an article in regards to nature titled: The Divine Essence of Nature.  In this piece, I touched upon aspects of nature and the relevance to the energy of the planet.  The article reflected on the shifting patterns of Earth in 2019.  Mama Gaia was talking to us, through weather patterns.  It was her emotions surfacing with the elements of  air, fire and water.  By 2020, the Covid pandemic was in full force.  It altered the fabric of humanity as society is still processing life.  

Presently, in 2024 we are now in a drastic shift of climate change in every corner of the globe.  It seems that astrologically, the cosmos are impacting the state of your being.  Weather patterns have been occurring in the past few years.  Flooding, fires and torrential rain are more prevalent.  Could the weather patterns be a sign of something else?  The varying emotions of Mama Earth again?  She is a living energy force and perhaps communicating to our consciousness?  With meditation, answers become clear.  When you still your mind, your heart whispers.  What message is she trying to convey?  The message of oneness and love.

Do you ever ask yourself, why did Covid occur?  In my opinion, Covid happened for a spiritual reason.  I have to believe a global pandemic occurred to shift consciousness. The universe was a guiding force in this all.  Life went upside down. Society had to be placed on pause.  Humanity needed to surrender, and be in a state of the unknown.  Taking time in nature, allowed healing to transpire.  To be one with the universe and breathe.  

Sometimes the universe turns off all the lights so we have no choice but to find our own – Rebecca Campbell

My personal belief is that souls were awakening.  The collective consciousness was remembering who they really are, their core essence.  Many of us had to go within layers of our spirit to see that the pandemic was something greater.  Lightworkers, you know who you are, your divine purpose is to shine angelic light on earth.  Lightworkers realized they are here to serve as beacons of LOVE and healing.  

The real you is always here. You just have to recognize the light within and give yourself permission to radiate from your soul — not only for your own benefit but for the blessing of all others ― Catherine Carrigan

You began to question why you are here, especially now.  Covid was a spiritual retreat, almost like an incubation period to assess your life.  Who are you?  Are you happy?  What is your purpose?  Questions that one hardly gives time to consider.  This inner dialogue led to other aspects of your life journey.  Silence is when your clarity comes.  Be still and know, everything is exactly the way it should be.    

The dark days are over, let the universe take control.  The old structures are falling apart.  Be prepared to see changes in the way we live our lives.  This will be for the better.  The year of 2024, is a year of abundance in every single way.  You have been reborn and being asked to live, engage the life you have always yearned for.  

We now stand on a New Earth.  Allow love to be your guiding force in every decision you make.  You are chosen to be here in this new energy.  We have a long way to go, however we are in a revolutionary time in history.  Covid taught us to love and cherish our family.  To be of service to your neighbors and community.  To make peace with your present circumstances.  Release your ego and remember who you are. This is your time to shine, be seen and to soar. 

You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe, an intrinsic part of it. Ultimately you are not a person, but a focal point where the universe is becoming conscious of itself. What an amazing miracle –  Eckhart Tolle
