Heartfelt Blessings is a free, daily email service designed to send a little goodness out without any kind of agenda or cost attached. Created by Kate Nowak, Heartfelt Blessings is part of the World
Wide Blessing Project she created in early 2006 as a way of reaching out to bless the world. To learn more about the project and how you can be involved, please visit the project's interactive site

If only I'd known that one day my differences would be an asset, my life would have been much easier.
— Bette Midler
You are a one-of-a-kind creation who came here to love, spread joy and honor life, and if you will celebrate your differences, the world will, too. That's how this universe works, you know. It reflects back to you exactly what you think and say and feel about yourself. If you realize that the qualities that make you unique are a God-given asset, the world will recognize it, too.
May you always celebrate your differences. May you always honor the unique being your truly 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

Dear Kate, Thank you for this message about differences. I especially love Bette Midler and so to place her in the category of being different, makes it ok with me to me different as well. Thank you for creating these messages. Reply to this

Kate, my Blessings and Gratitude to you, sweet woman! You never fail to "hit my nail on the head" with the Daily Blessing. How do you know exactly what I need to hear/see? The Universe has blessed us all with your presence and wisdom. Synchronicity is a wonderful place to reside in and I am having fun with it! Reply to this
Oh the lives you have touched--even though who do not read your beautiful words--instead receiving the blessing for those of us who have! Thank you for reminding us that we are each a blessing and that the gifts we possess are a blessing to those we share them with everyday! May your good works be returned ten fold! Reply to this

This heartfelt blessing was great!{1/27 i can remember my search for God. I looked under my bed, in the tree i used to climb in, under pews, in my horse, i would shout"God are you under there, in there,on top of there... i did not hear an answer. as a teenager, i was quite rebellious. i believed in angels, fairies,budda,my horse. still i asked"god, i do not know where you are, i have looked and searched. i do not believe in you anyway... because as a child, teenager i was sexually abused by my stepfather,my brother shot himself in the heart. my mother lived in the same house, but i did not see her much, i tried drugs{ my mothers perscriptions that she gave me} other drugs. i was addict actively using heroine. so god, i think i found you in heroine. every other experience is painful. so for years and years i used heroine. still looking for god. this does have a happy ending or rather new beginning. s friend told me about narcotics anonoymous. apparently, she said, there are a lot of meetings where those with addiction problems can participate in discussions" i did not judge her.{she was an addict too} i did not think about god in the beginning of this new path. in fact i was angry with god now. when i thought about god. well, it took some time and miles and miles of walking, falling, dusting myself off, and getting right back up. a process, right? i had heard from others to find a higher power. hadn't i searched long enough with no results, just misery? now i have to continue my search? when i shared i am looking for god. this was the response given to me: god is not lost, so you do not have to look for him. i felt this incredible warmth, light went through me. ah ha.today this is what i came to believe. that there might be a Higher Power. This girl did not trust so easily. I still needed proof. it was a process. one day i was sitting still. I asked the question "God why did you let those horrible things happen to me?" You left me alone. at this point tears are streaming down my face. For some reason i ended up on the floor in a praying position. this is what was revealed to me. That God did not leave me. He was there for everything, God gave me strength and courage. God gave me strength and courage to endure the abuse. {as he also gave strength and courage to go thru this abuse as an addict in recovery} God kept putting these people in my life, who were honest, kind, and only wanted to help me, and wanted nothing back? something a bit alien to me.i can tell you i wasn't an instant believer. after all i was a drug addict, a liar, thief. this is what i did. it was and is not who i am. So life on life's terms ain't rosey all the time. stuff happens. today i have choices. I check in with my GOD first and my clean and sober friends. See they were searching too, for God just like me. God gave me a new Life. Pretty awesome.I am all that, right? with A LOVING GOD. I can only keep that, by giving it away. What about you? love+light dian Reply to this
