Day 30

And what you are is capable. What you are is worthy. What you are is the very best person to do what you have determined to do. What you are is the only person who can become the person you born to be. You are you. And there is not another like you. You cannot be replaced. Kate Nowik.

We have come to the end of our 30 day journey in consciousness to a more abundant life. Yet the journey continues. Once a door is opened, it can never be closed.

Today is a day to review the intention we set at the beginning, and look at where we were and where we are now.

We’ve talked about giving, receiving, tithing and forgiving = four keys to living an abundant life. We’ve experimented in small ways how to put these to use in our lives. The journey continues as we live our lives with grace and gratitude.

What I know is True is that YOU are the powerful presence of The Divine made manifest. You are the chooser of how your life shall be, always have been, always will be. I KNOW you have come to a place in consciousness where the choices you make are for your highest and best good and that you Trust the Law to work through you with ease.

I KNOW you are living the abundant life right now!! Believe it! Claim it! Be it!

The God That You Are knows no lack.

For in an infinitely abundant universe, a cosmos that knows no limits, there are no limits to what you can accomplish, what you can achieve, what you can be and how you can live that beingness.

Abundant Blessings, Rev. Angelica

Thank God we’re rich!!

Many of you have asked me not to stop writing – so I have decided to do a weekly TGIR e-mail, on Thursdays, beginning October 5^th. (After I come back from Hawaii!!)

This has been a delightful experience for me. My Trust level has gone up 100% and I am SOOOOO Grateful for everything in my life! Thank you for being on this journey in consciousness with me.

Love, Angelica

Day 29

"Don't wait for something big to occur. Start where you are, with what you have, and that will always lead you into something greater." Mary Manin Morrissey

This quote came to me yesterday in the wisdomteachers.com newsletter. It is a very good point in line with Day 28’s theme of giving.

Remember the TV show Dynasty? I loved it – wouldn’t miss an episode!! I remember watching one where Blake had discovered his company was being taken over by another, which would leave them basically bankrupt. That night he gave his wife, Crystal, a gift. As she opened the box, you could see a beautiful, sparkling, jeweled necklace, and she said “Oh Blake, I love it, but you can’t do this now.” “Yes, I can,” replies Blake, “indeed this is when I have to.”

I learned a spiritual Truth that night – a prosperity consciousness means the ability to give as well as receive. Sometimes we don’t give because we feel as if we won’t have enough for ourselves, yet no matter where we are in our prosperity consciousness, we’re never too poor to give. And the more we give, the more satisfaction we will have, and the more satisfaction we have, the more we will attract into our lives. Of course, I’m talking about giving with a sense of gratitude for what we have now.

As your spiritual practice today – give something with love and gratitude.

Day 28

Today I want to speak to you of service. Part of living an abundant life is GIVING. By this I don’t mean just the giving of your monies, but the giving of your whole Self. We can be of service to our world in so many ways, from answering a homeless person’s plea, to giving to charity, to spending time with some one, to picking up litter along your daily walk. The actions are wonderful, and the consciousness behind those actions is what’s really important. For instance – how do you react to a homeless person’s request? Do you look the other way? Do you sneer and think “get a job”? Do you give to them from a “better than you are” mindset or just because you can and you care?

I once saw a greeting card that said “The best exercise for the heart is reaching down and lifting someone up.” Only we will know in each situation what the best way to lift someone’s spirits is, and if it’s in our experience, it is ours to do.

One of the best ways to be of service is to pray for others. Have you included the rest of our TGIR group in your prayers and affirmations for abundance? Today would be a good day to start.

Let’s Treat:

Right in this moment, I become still and notice the effortless nature of my breath - in and out. This is the Breath of Spirit. I don't have to think about it, I don't have to manage it or ration it - I just breathe. The inherent intelligence of my body knows how to do this. With elegance and ease, I breathe into life.

All other parts of my life share this same ease and grace. I breathe into the stillness and notice this. I find that as I become totally present in my life, I always know what to do, because I am listening to the Wisdom Within. It's simple to have my needs met, for the Infinite Source of all is within, showing me how.

This is so simple. I clarify my thought, eliminating any confusion. I have released all the stuck energy around my past. I have let go of all that is unnecessary to my highest and best good.

The Presence Within knows Life is easy, and this becomes my everyday experience. Everything I need is already at hand on every level of my being. Mentally, emotionally, physically and spirituality, I experience the givingness of The Divine. I wholeheartedly participate in the ongoingness of Life.

My heart is filled with gratitude. All the places that once held pain or resentment, bitterness or sorrow, regret or guilt are now filled with a deep knowingness of the Love of the Divine. I thank God this is so.

As I know this for myself, I know this for all others in our Thank God I’m Rich group. God is Good and all is well with our world. And so it is.

Abundant Blessings, Rev. Angelica

Thank God we’re rich!!

Day 27

Have you ever visited Elyse Killoran’s website “Choosing Prosperity”? http://www.choosingprosperity.com/ It’s great! There are so many wonderful things to do – including getting a virtual cheque a day in larger and larger amounts !

The other day on her blog, she shared the following process and so I share it with you. I invite you to copy and paste this on a word document and fill in the areas Elyse suggests. Do this with as much emotional energy as you can – really feel the gratitude, the relief in being able to surrender your concerns, the eager expectancy of knowing that the Universal Manager of Well-Being is taking over. Put the completed document on your desktop, or some where you can read it often.

To: Universal Manager of Well-Being
From: Me
Date: Today
Re: Projects now in your hands

I. First of all, tremendous thanks and gratitude for all of the guidance and support that I have received over the past week: (List as many things as you can to amp up your energy of gratitude/appreciation.)

II. Please support me in whatever way would best serve to expedite the following easily, effortlessly, and for the highest good of all concerned: (List all the things that are weighing on you - conflicts, worries, things on your to-do list, etc. Hand them over and do not take the heaviness back. The Universe is now working to smooth out resistant energy on your behalf. )

III. Please support me in drawing the following to me in the most appropriate time/space sequence:
(List all the desires that you want to launch at this time -- followed by a couple of words about why you want these things in order to amp up the energy. Then let go of your attachment - - to outcome and time frame -- and allow the Universe to bring you everything that is for your highest good.)

THANK YOU – THANK YOU – THANK YOU!

Day 26

How did you do with your cheque from the Universe?? What, you haven’t printed it out yet? You haven’t filled it out? Why not?

I had to ask myself this question today. I printed the cheque and then it disappeared under a pile of papers for a wedding I’m officiating at this afternoon. What I realized is sometimes I avoid my good through pure procrastination. I know I’m not the only one that does this!

What is behind our propensity to procrastinate? The answer to what is behind any feeling we judge negative is always FEAR. So I ask us, what is there to be afraid of?

If we really believed in the God we talk about – the Loving, everywhere present, all knowing, all powerful Energy that is the Source of all things – we would realize there is nothing that can be against us as the Universe IS us! It couldn’t be against Itself in any way!!

The Universes’ nature is lavish abundance! All we have to do is look outside to see this is true. There really is more than enough of everything!

The only reason there is any lack in our lives is because the Universe works on Spiritual Law – and the basic Law is – “It is done unto me as I believe.” The way our lives are right now, is based on what we believe. The way our futures will be is based on what we believe. We can’t get away from Spiritual Law.

Let’s move past our belief in lack of any kind, stop procrastinating and starting believing in the giving nature of the Universe. There is nothing to fear. God wants you to be rich!

Today’s affirmation: “I am a Great Receiver!!

Day 25

Yesterday Pat sent me a Secret Scrolls message from Rhonda Byrne, Executive Producer of The Secret and I share it with you:

The Bank of the Universe is now open!

It has unlimited abundance, available to you right now! Actually it has never NOT been open, but only a few throughout the history of humanity knew of the unlimited abundance that was theirs for the asking.

Click the link at the bottom of this Scroll to receive your blank check from the Bank of The Universe for you. You must believe that you can receive it, so take small steps with the amounts, if that feels more believable to you. Place the check in a prominent position where you will see it every day! Every time you look at the check, STOP!!! BELIEVE and FEEL that you have the money NOW!

The Universe inspires people, circumstances and events, to deliver the amount to you, but don't ever be mistaken into believing it came from them. It is always the Universe, who moves through people, circumstances and events, to deliver it to you.

If YOU don't cancel your check, The Bank of the Universe must deliver the

money to you! Any thoughts, words, or actions of "lack", or "not enough"... are the only things that cancel your check. Here's the great thing though... if you are thinking, acting or speaking words that could cancel your check, the Universe immediately sends you an alert! The alert is instantaneously transmitted direct to you, as bad feelings!!! The moment you receive the alert, change your thinking immediately!

By the way, it is not your job to work out HOW the Universe will bring it to you, so hands off telling the Universe what to do. Just ask, believe you have received it, and you WILL receive.

This wonderful process was inspired by a 'million dollar' true story account in the film, The Secret. The story was told by one of the great master teachers of The Secret, Jack Canfield.

http://whatisthesecret.tv/the-secret-scrolls/the-secret-check.html

Now – the question is: How much Good are you willing to receive?? Pay attention to your body as you contemplate how much to fill out your cheque for. If you feel a tightening anywhere, ask what message it has for you. For instance, I immediately thought of writing $10,000,000,00 on my cheque … then I noticed my forehead got a little tight, and so did my stomach. I asked, and got the answer “That’s too much.” Why? “Because you don’t need that much, one million would be fine.”

My reasoning mind and my body argued for awhile – then I realized fear was behind the argument – and Treated (prayed) to know that this exercise doesn’t have anything to do with need or with deservability. It is about expanding my consciousness to accept that the Divine Source of all Good loves to give lavishly and it’s my job to receive with ease and grace!

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN - START YOUR PRINTERS!!

Day 24

We’ve done some amazing work in consciousness these past 24 days. Let’s celebrate today’s Full Moon by giving thanks for all we have ever had, all we have now, and all we shall have.

Here’s something to help you celebrate:

ARMS FULL
Gratitude means showing up on life's doorstep,
love's threshold, dressed in a clown suit,
rubber-nosed, gunboat shoes flapping.
Gratitude shows up with arms full of wildflowers,
reciting McKuen or the worst of Neruda.

To talk of gratitude is to be
the fool in a cynic's world.
Gratitude is pride's nightmare,
the admission of humility before something
given without expectation or attachment.

Gratitude tears open the shirt
of self importance, scatters buttons
across the polished floors of feigned indifference,
ignores the obvious and laughs out loud.

Even more, gratitude bears her breasts, rips open
her ribs to show the naked heart, the holy heart.
What if that sacred heart is not, after all, about sacrifice?
Imagine it is about joy, barefoot and foolhardy,
something unasked for, something unearned.

What if the beat we hear, when we are finally quiet
is simply this:
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Day 23

Kate Nowak, the woman who created the “May You Be Blessed” film

( http://clicks.aweber.com/z/ct/?Zy2Mp59cqsUHqL5iFVHtGQ )

had this in today’s daily e-mail:

Using up today by rehashing yesterday is like traveling to the Grand Canyon and spending the entire visit in the gift shop looking at postcards. We have to be willing to leave the past behind us and step to the rim of today to take full advantage of the view.

We have to be willing to leave the past behind. Take a deep breath. I know we all have our stories of how things should have been different --- and yet holding on to the energy of those stories is probably holding us back financially.

Rev. Helen Street once gave a talk on the Power of SO WHAT. Getting to the place of being able to say “So what?” to our past is awesome! I had a terrible childhood – at one point not long ago I had to come to grips with the fact that my Mother tried to kill me a few times. I have the scars to prove it yet I couldn’t consciously admit that something that terrible had happened. I got to the point where I could say “So what if my Mother tried to kill me – I’m still here. Now SO, WHAT? So, what am I going to do with my life?”

Yes, we’re back on the subject of forgiveness. It is such an important aspect to consciously living an abundant life. Forgiveness gave me the ability to say “so what” and forgiveness freed the energy I was using to avoid an aspect of my life.

Forgiveness allows us to “step to the rim of today to take full advantage of the view” and keep stepping out and experience today with all of our senses. It frees us to live in the NOW.

Who do you have to forgive? Do it today!

Abundant Blessings, Rev. Angelica

One of our readers sent me an e-mail about an experience they had around money where they were able, with love, to stand up for themselves, where they might not have before. .

And Louise writes: my prosperity of time this day was being able to watch a spider build its web from beginning to end and to watch ten dragonflys play/fly in the sunshine.

An awesome gift in this busy world, is it not?

Our prosperity comes in so many ways!! Thank God we’re rich!!

Day 22

The Master Teacher Jesus said “Ask and you shall receive.” He also gave us a key in the “asking” – he said ‘pray believing it is so, and it shall be.”

At one point in the evolution of my prosperity consciousness, I realized I wasn’t really “asking” – I was wishing and hoping. As a little girl who was an avid reader, I loved the idea of fairy godmothers and wishes being granted. My Father, an ex-marine who’s nickname “The General” lasted his whole life, once told me “Wish in one hand and poop in the other, and see what you come up with.” Ok, that’s kind of a crass way to make a point, but it came across clearly didn’t it?

Wishing and hoping have the element of doubt in them. “I wish I had more money. I hope I can pay my bills. I wish I could get a better paying job. I hope I have enough money for a vacation.” With statements like these, we are really telling the Universe we won’t have what we want.

Dr. Holmes wrote:

It is important that you identify yourself

with that greater financial supply which you desire.

You cannot do this by thinking about it

as though it were impossible or even unlikely,

or regretting that you do not now have it.

Instead, you must train yourself to think about it

with a feeling that it is only reasonable and natural

for it to be yours – yes, that it already is yours.

This is why I LOVE this affirmation:

THANK GOD I’M RICH!!

Use this affirmation today every time you make any sort of financial transaction… any time you think about money! I KNOW it is your Truth!!

Abundant Blessings, Rev. Angelica

Cara Leah writes in response to yesterday’s TGIR:

I think I am beginning to get a little "K"larity on the energy of money. I have a pile of bills sitting here that I have been ignoring forever and have kept saying that I want to pay them but I don't have any money. I believe that this is stopping up the flow of prosperity in my life. I am going to step out in Spirit and begin to pay every one of them, one step at a time and KNOW that the means will appear to handle them all. I am grateful that I have been blessed with the opportunity to have debts to pay. I KNOW that this is the key to unlokk all of the gifts that are mine as a daughter of Divine Mind.

YES!!! Thank God we’re rich!!

Day 21

Dr. Eric Butterworth writes in Spiritual Economics that the real meaning of “to bless” is to confer prosperity upon.

Too many times we “curse” our prosperity instead of blessing it. How?

• by looking at our bills with dread
• by looking at the price of things in the marketplaces with a feeling of “how dare they charge so much”
• by envying our neighbors for their new home, new car, new clothes, etc.
• by berating the government for the payroll, property, sales, etc. taxes
• by being angry with our employers for not giving us the salary we think we deserve
• (you fill in this one J)

One of our popular sayings in New Thought (and in Quantum Physics) is where the attention goes, the energy flows. This week let’s pay attention to our attitudes around our money. What are we giving our attention to?

Florence Scovel Shinn, author of The Game of Life and How to Play It wrote that our words should only be used for three purposes: “to heal, to bless, and to prosper.”

Let’s bless our financial life. Every time we pay a bill, purchase something at the store, write a cheque, etc., bless it. Bless it with love and gratitude.

Abundant Blessings, Rev. Angelica

Thank God we’re rich!!

Day 20

Dr. Raymond Charles Barker, one of the greats in Religious Science, once said “Money is a symbol of God in action in our lives.”

He also wrote a wonderful Spiritual Mind Treatment that I share with you today:

My Word Accomplishes

There is nothing to obstruct the spiritual Word I speak. All the Power of God is for me and working through me. As I make these statements, the Truth appears in my world. I now declare my own spiritual perfection as a child of Omnipotence. This word is not dependent upon my will, for it is the action of God, taking place through me.

I now demonstrate permanent abundance. I live with wisdom, and I live with ease. All the Substance of Mind is in action as my immediate prosperity. This flow of good is right where I am, operating for me at this moment. God is my supply, right now. What I need, the One Mind provides. Even subconscious fears cannot prevent this demonstration. My word is a law unto that to which I speak. It is God declaring Itself by means of me.

I accept as normal the demonstration that follows my word. The Infinite loves and appreciates me and wants me to be at peace. My destiny has been given into my hands by the Spirit, and I select my world as carefully as I would select a gift. Good appears on every hand.

And so it is.

Abundant Blessings, Rev. Angelica

YES!!! Thank God we’re rich!!

Day 19

Dorothy writes:

I woke up this morning with a wonderful idea to share. Everyone knows that a lake that has incoming water but no run off soon becomes stagnant. The way to change this is to have water run into a nearby stream or an area that needs the water. Anyway, if we have become stagnant, then let us think of 5 ways each day to give to others. It could be money, clothes, our time, our talent or 5 wild flowers picked by the side of the road given to 5 patients in a nursing home. For we know that what goes out will be returned to us, pressed down and overflowing. When you are prompted to give, never be fearful of giving. For what you truly "have" will manifest itself again.

Be sure you give with love.

What a great idea for our spiritual practice today!!

Dr. Holmes writes: “If we would project an abundance of everything worth while, we must be free from anxiety or any sense of pressure. Particularly we must guard against any sense of discouragement, for all of these are an inversion of the Life Principle.”

I KNOW none of us wants to be the stagnant lake Dorothy speaks of above. The way out of discouragement about our financial life is to give ourselves love. Let’s begin by imagining ourselves rich beyond measure (which is actually our Truth) and give 5 things away today from the consciousness of having plenty.

In numerology 5 is the number of changes – and isn’t this what we are about in TGIR – changing our consciousness?

We know that the Universe abhors a vacumn, so as we give we shall receive. Today however, let go of that idea, and just give unconditionally! For the pure pleasure of giving. This is going to be fun!!

Abundant Blessings, Rev. Angelica

YES!!! Thank God we’re rich!!

Day 18

I just love the internet!! I love the way the Law works -- “what you focus on, you create more of.” Today, in a natural health newsletter I receive, I found an article by Carol Tuttle, author of Remembering Wholeness, A Personal Handbook for Thriving in the 21^st Century.

How to Eliminate Debt and a Lack of Money With This Simple Process

A lack of money and debt can easily cause stress to the mind and body. When you do not have enough money and/or have debt, it is a heavy emotional burden that you carry every day. This emotional burden taxes the body and adds to poor health.

Changing your experience with money to having enough and more, paying off debts, and having more hope supports the mind and body in maintaining good health.

Understanding the nature of money in our time and how easily you can change your experience with money over time will help you not only have better financial health, but overall better physical health.

Money is a system of energy. It is a neutral energy that operates according to the beliefs and perceptions we have each placed on it. Since we no longer hold a Gold standard to determine how much money can be circulated, we have released money to be an infinite resource. We call money "Currency."

It truly has become a current that is flowing to us or away from us.

Air is also energy, yet most people do not believe in a lack of air. When you breathe in air, do you panic because you fear that there may not be enough, so you'd better count your breaths to make sure you don't run out?

Do you scold your children for taking in too many breaths and using too much air?

Do you worry that you might run out of air at the end of the day, or week, or month?

The amount of money you have is directly related to your beliefs about money. A lot of people believe there is not enough money, and their lives reflect that belief.

Every time you spend money, what feelings do you have? Do you feel good, or feel worried?

What thoughts run through your head?

Are you putting your happiness on hold until you have more money?

Do you worry you shouldn't be spending your money because you are thinking how much you do not have?

Money obeys us with the script we have given it. If you are running a lot of negative thoughts about money through your mind, it is time to write a new script. If you could tell money how you want to experience it, what would tell it? Write it down. Start with this one:

"Thanks, money, for changing your experience with me. I am ready for more."

As you change your beliefs about money, it will change its experience with you.

Good Questions for all of us to answer in this article!

I really like the idea that “money obeys us.” Many feel they are enslaved by money, but the Truth is money is here to serve us!!

My affirmation today: Thank you money for serving me well!!

Abundant Blessings, Rev. Angelica

YES!!! We are so blessed!!
