Wrecking Ball
"Nobody has the right to wreck your day, let alone your life. And guess what? Nobody does. You do."
—Gary Fenchuck, author of Timeless Wisdom
You may listen to today's Heartfelt Blessing Here:
Though we don't often realize it, and even less often assume it, we really can take total control of our lives, and when we do, absolutely no one can make us miserable unless we allow it. We are far more powerful than we think, and when we choose the victim's role, we are, essentially, giving our power away and then blaming the recipient for taking it from us. When we choose to place our hearts in the path of a wrecking ball, we have no right to blame the wrecking ball for the damage done? We always have the right, however, to take our power back and move out of the way.
May you always be willing to be powerful.
And may you always 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,
The messages are great Kate
Many of them I have heard before in one way or another. When all is said and done and I understand the message itself, I am left with not knowing how to accomplish the task at hand. As in I know it is best not to give away my power but I did. Just to tell me to get it back doesn't help me to do that....I haven't a clue how.

Dear Jeannette,
Because you and I have corresponded in the past, I know you are old enough to remember that great scene in "Gone With the Wind" when Scarlett O'Hara, hungry and alone, stands in a war-ravaged field, silhouetted by a brilliant sunset and raising her fist toward heaven. "As God as my witness," she vows, "...I'll never go hungry again." In that pivotal moment, Scarlett took her power back. We each have the ability to do that. No many how times a day we have given our power away in the past, we are always free to take it back anytime we choose. It begins with a mindset.
You will begin regaining control of your life the very moment you commit to taking it back. Declare to the universe, just as Scarlett did, that you will no longer let anything have dominion over your life and affairs. You can do this anytime you feel yourself losing control of your life and as long as you are serious about it, your Inner Being will rise up within you to help you reclaim control.
In truth, taking control of your life is not something you do nearly as much as it is something you are. Imagine yourself being in control and if you have to, fake it until you make it. Just as Scarlett ripped the velvet draperies from her windows to use in making a dress that would make her feel powerful, so can you rip every image of being calm, cool and in control from your memory bank and then embrace those images as your own way of acting.
Anytime we feel helpless to do anything, we can be certain that such feelings are nothing more than an illusion created by the ego and really have no bearing on our reality unless we allow them to. Helplessness is not our birthright. Dominion is. Sometimes we have to keep reminding ourselves of that fact in order to move out of the Fear Zone and back into the Control Zone where we belong.
Love, light and blessings,
Kate

There comes a time in our lives when we
are tested and all of our will power
and positive thoughts take a back seat
because we are ill, volunerable and dependent at the time. Some of us take on more guilt at that point because we can't be in control and everything we have learned and believe isn't working. So I say "It's hard to concentrate with alligators snapping at your bottom" As it says "Teach a child the way to go"
We can rejuvenate and come back and
be in control of our lives, even though
the road is bumpy with curves and seems
under construction most of the time.
Take heart. Do not feel you have failed.
It's only a detour.

Dear Myrna,
You are so right. When we let our control slip away from us we have nothing to feel guilty about. We have done nothing wrong and can get back on the road to controlling our lives anytime we choose without blame or condemnation, but with love and blessing.
Thank you for writing.
Love, light and blessings,
Kate
