Just as one wave following another forms the shoreline, so do our daily actions and thoughts, repeated again and again, form the sum and substance of our lives. That's the reason affirmations work. And that's the reason it is so important that we pay attention to the dominant trend of our thinking, for those thoughts we entertain repeatedly today will shape and define our experiences tomorrow, just as surely as repeated footsteps will wear a pathway into even the firmest soil.
May each pathway you create with your thoughts be filled with blessings
— Henry David Thoreau, 19th Century Philosopher
There is really only one person to whom you need to confide your
power, and that person is you. Remind yourself often of just how
powerful you are and then believe it. With each reminder your power
will increase and the control you have over your own destiny will
strengthen. For in this world, we do not become who we want to be
by telling others. We become who we want to be by convincing
ourselves that we already are.
May you always be
aware of just how powerful you are.
And may you also be aware that you are loved beyond measure and a cherished blessing to me.
Until tomorrow, may your day be filled with all things good,
Kate

What an excellent way of explaining thought power! If more people were aware of that by every tiny bit of doubt or wrong thinking we weaken our power, they would understand why they don't obtain the results they hunger for. Keep your wants and wishes completely in the bright light or your golden glow, don't hesitate - and forgive yourself if you miss out. Try again if you fall, for God really IS everything. If you doubt or fear, you use this power for the wrong purposes. Don't misuse the power, the word and the name of our God. Have trust, and your plans will materialize in your life. I'm working on it every second of my life. It's also necessary that you search your conscience to make sure you go for solely the good purposes. If not, your intentions will backfire and hurt yourself, for what you send out, you get back - always. Let us keep up our good work and make Heaven on earth. Until then, may you be blessed with Kate's excellent daily blessings. Reply to this

Hi Kate! I have some very exciting news! One of the many things I have been working on by blessing them is my health. A few years ago I was told I had several cysts on my liver and one kidney. Also I was told that I had a tumor on my liver. I was supposed to get them re-scanned to check on them and put it off and off. Since I have been blessing others and myself, I felt more courage to get checked and went to the doctor to talk about steeing up a scan. The first thing I learned was that the tumor was on my kidney, not my liver. I had lived the past few years worried about my liver, so I blessed the news and decided that the scan would go well and there would be no tumor anywhere and fewer cysts.
I got the news yesterday - no tumor anywhere, and the cysts were there, but nothing to worry about.
I have also been blessing clients and our business and have had several instances of indecisive clients I have owrked on for months, deciding in the past week to buy, and they buy more than I or they initially expected.
Now, I know these things can be taken to be "too good to be true", but I am telling you the absolute truth. Blessing( taking the time and effort to feel it, not just think/say it) works wonders really, truly in real life. And it is working in mine.
Thank you for leading me back to my spirituality and my God.
