Imagine

Wow!  I was called away this morning to help with some construction happening here on our farm---trusses being placed on the building---and so I was unable to complete the posting of your card reading for today until now! The card I had drawn for your reading this morning is 'Imagine', from the 'Wisdom of the Oracle' card deck, authored by Colette Baron-Reid.
Colette's message for the card is this:
"ESSENTIAL MEANINGS:  Turning imagination into manifestation; creative thought; visualization; the power of aligning imagery and feelings; creativity; illusions.
THE ORACLE'S MESSAGE:  Who do you want to be?  What do you need to believe in order to have the life you want?  You were gifted with the power to imagine.  If you can dream it, you can create it.  This is the time when your imagination is the key to manifesting the life you desire.  Spend time day-dreaming, fashioning a vision board to help you see your goals, or meditating.  Allow the power of your creativity to deliver images of what feeds your soul.  Then allow your feelings to mingle with your inspirations, and imagine these things being real right now.  Then repeat.  What you imagine will become your belief, and soon you will see those things come to pass in the outer world...as if by magic."

My message for you today is this:
You know how certain phrases and quotes seem to capture your attention at just the right moment in time?  This quote has been coming into my frame of reference a lot recently:
"When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."  I believe that this quote is to be attributed to Wayne Dyer.  I LOVE inspirational quotes, and always have some quote or another (often multiple quotes) posted around my home. I remember seeing this quote some years ago, but it has made itself known to me again recently.  I truly believe in the power of words, and so, when a particular quote is brought to my conscious attention I recognize it as a message.  Pay attention to phrases from songs that 'replay themselves' in your head, for 'no apparent reason'.  Pay attention to quotes and phrases that repeatedly present to you.  There is a message there for you.  You may choose to adopt particular phrases and quotes as a 'mantra' in your life.  Recognize the power of the word and implement it as a tool of manifestation.  State your mantra repeatedly and BELIEVE IT!  
This is a form of visualization.   Imagine...and believe.
Blessed be...
