Stay Close to Your Heart

God said:

There are certain people, certain events, certain situations, certain things you read or hear about that stir the depths of your heart to heights of happiness. They may be little things, an aroma, a recipe, the color of the sky, a bird singing, clothes flapping on the line, the rays of the sun falling on your floor, the wind blowing the leaves, a child’s face, the grace of an arm, the house across the street, the palm of your hand, even the sound of traffic passing by can lift your heart. There are people in those cars, and they are going somewhere, and so your joy goes with them too.

There is no end to the list of what stirs your heart. Stay close to your heart. Stay close to your list. If a walk gives you happiness, walk more often. If flowers do, associate with flowers. If cooking does, cook. If looking out the window stirs your heart, look out the window. Why is this a great revelation – to associate more with that which you like, to associate more with those who stir your heart with joy.

You also easily know what sinks your heart. Bad news does not lift your heart. Causes do not lift your heart. The more dire, the less your heart is lifted. There are emails you don’t want to open because the title tells you something dire was sent to you to read.

Gossip doesn’t uplift you. You may spend time with down-mouthed people without benefit to them or you. If you are missing out on joy, beloveds, you have made a choice to miss out on it. Perhaps you have thought it your duty to enjoy less and suffer more.

This is your life, beloveds. Spend your life on what gives you joy. This is so obvious yet so overlooked. Forget about what you are supposed to feel, and feel what you feel. Gravitate towards that which enlivens your heart.

If you do not yet know what your passion is, spend more time with the little things that give you joy, and your passion will announce itself.

Of course, you want to live with passion. You are not meant to be indifferent to life. Life is not to be so-so. Beloveds, this life is an adventure you are on. Make it so. Even if you are confined to a bed, your life can be filled with joy. Your mind and heart are not confined. Regardless of your overall situation, enjoy the snippets of joy. If joy is a flower, pick it.

Whatever the main circumstance of your life, you can find joy within it. It depends a great deal upon what you are looking for. Look for those tiny delights, and have more of them.

What gives you joy? Find out.

It is not selfish to be joyful, for joy is never kept to yourself. Joy makes more joy.

Cultivate the idea that you are meant to be joyful. You are not meant to be anything else. This one idea alone will revolutionize your life.

I tell you right now: Joy is mandatory. Joy is a commandment I give to you. Be joyful. Sing your song of joy to the High Heavens. There is no other song Heaven loves as well as this. Did you really think there was?

Joy is your privilege. It is your blessing. It is your responsibility. And it is your choice. Joy, joy to the world. Rejoice in the world I have made. Choose today that which gives you joy. If the ocean is your joy, well, then, spend time at the beach.

I pressed the pause button

I pressed the pause button in my mind a few seconds before starting to write on the keyboard and I just stared at my fingers. How happy I am to be inside this body...As a non-physical spirit it would be liberating but too boring not to have a body, not to be able to eat ice-cream, to make your bed, to answer e-mails,to go to the super-market...I'm blessed to be in a body on Earth at this specific time, just a few years before the Great Ascension of Lady Gaia!

Let's have fun brothers and sisters! We are safe in God's arms and we are no longer self-pitying victims! It's time to create the lives we deserve!

Loved, Loved, Loved today's

Loved, Loved, Loved today's Heaven Letter! I'll be quoting bits from this one in my practice, in my workshops, in my life forever. It articulates one of the main ideas I am here to teach.
Thank you Heaven!

This is such a practical

This is such a practical message! It is SO in "alignment" with what we are experiencing with the Abraham teachings. I especially like the advise re "spending time with the little things that give you joy and your passion will announce itself"...Wow! Also that "life is not meant to be so-so" and "joy makes more joy" (LAW of Attraction) I'm going to read this at our group tonight. It tells us everything we need to know...Thank you thank you God. Love, m

Dear Gloria, How very

Dear Gloria,
How very appropriate, for just today, a friend and I were discussing the very same thing, how to keep our emotions in JOY....the different ways, when we find an unpleasant situation, how we can raise our vibration. That first and foremost, our objective is to remain in Joy....

and it's a work in progress....
many blessings to you.

Lynn, so glad to have you

Lynn, so glad to have you posting. You give us a great reminder.

Lynn, the tech angels are looking for ways to remove that phrase that automatically appears after some user names -- how dare the program say you are "not verified."

Your words certainly verify you. You are highly verified!

With love and blessings,
