Today in the United States it is Thanksgiving Day. Being American, I sat down this morning and did a writing meditation on all I am thankful for.

As I reviewed my list, I paid attention to what feelings I had in my body. I had some feelings when I listed material things, yet, when I thought about people, health, and life experiences, they were almost overwhelming.

The feeling of gratitude is the key to experiencing a prosperity consciousness.

The author Melodie Beattie wrote: “Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity.... It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

A while ago I suggested creating a “Thank God I’m Rich” gratitude book …. Last night I realized mine is almost filled up and it’s time to get a new one!! How is yours doing?

To me, every day is Thanksgiving Day!!

Thank you for being in my life.

Grateful Blessings, Rev. Angelica

I had the most amazing dream this morning. I was on my daily walk when suddenly the wind whipped up and I was walking in a shower of leaves. As I looked down I realized it wasn’t leaves but money!! I could see the sidewalk littered with every denomination! However, as I went to pick it up, the wind would kick up again, and I found myself running down the street chasing money. Finally I stopped, breathing heavily from all the exercise, and decided to just let it go. I just stood there enjoying the money storm. And as I did, the money started landing on me and sticking to my sweater!

Now this dream was probably because of the wild storm we were experiencing outside, but it turned out to be delightful — and gave me food for thought.

Am I constantly chasing money? What does this mean? Where is my consciousness around money? Am I concerned with where my income is coming from, or how I am going to manifest more?

This dream was a vivid message to stand still in consciousness, and know I am always provided for -- Which reminds me of a poster I saw years ago – “Happiness is like a butterfly. Chase it and it will elude you, sit quietly and it will land on your shoulder.”

As we sit quietly in trust and knowingness, deepening our consciousness of inner peace in all situations, we can believe Jesus’ statement “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and its righteousness, and all will be added unto you.”

Thank God We’re Rich!!

There was once a wise woman traveling in the mountains who found a precious stone in a stream. The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and she opened her bag to share her food. The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked if she might give it to him. She did so without hesitation. The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime. But only a few days later he came back to return the stone to the woman who had given it to him.

"I've been thinking," he said, "I know how valuable the stone is, but I'm giving it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious. I want you to give me what you have within you that enabled you to give me the stone."

This story reminded me of visiting a friends home years ago, and admiring a beautiful and unusual tiger face bowl. She took it off the wall and handed it to me. “You really want to give this away?” I asked. “Yes” she said “I have a policy – if someone really admires something, I know it is supposed to go to them.” I was so amazed at how unattached she was. As I looked around her home, I realized I had always seen beautiful things there . It wasn’t a sacrifice to give things away, she was making room for something new to enter her life.

Both women, the one in the story above, and my friend, knew they would always be provided for. They had no need to horde things or save things. They knew something else would come in to take its place.

Your assignment this week is to give something precious away, and give it in Love. Let yourself KNOW you are always provided for. Trust!

Thank God we’re rich!!

I want you to do something …. Before you read any further, go get your wallet, purse or where ever you keep your money. Look at how much you have.

Now notice what your thoughts are.

Notice how you feel.

One of our list members gave me a page from “The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent” by Esther and Jerry Hicks. I’d like to share it with you today:


“Some are beginning to acknowledge: You get what you think about. But we would like to clarify that statement further by saying: You get what you feel about what you think about.

So where are you on the sliding scale of possible vibrations relative to the subject of money? You may often say that you want more money, but if you consistently feel disappointment, or even fear, about not having enough money, then your vibrational offering regarding money does not match your statement of desire. And whenever your vibrational offering is, is where your point of attraction is. What is actually happening in your experience relative to the subject of money always matches the essence of your vibrational offering."


Remember how you felt when you looked at the money in your wallet, purse or pocket.

What vibration are you sending to the Universe?


The popular film The Secret mentions paying attention to how we feel about things over and over again. Dr. Holmes writes in the Science of Mind on page 398 Our mental acceptances should be filled with conviction, warmth, color and imagination. The creative power responds to feeling more quickly than to any other mental attitude. Therefore we should feel the reality of what we are doing when we give a treatment. This reality is felt as we become more and more convinced that Spirit responds to us.”


Now FEEL this while you say it – even if you have say it over and over again until you do:


THANK GOD I’M RICH!!
