When all the girls had arrived I lit the sage again and smudged everyone. I love it because the moment I start, each of my girls stand still waiting for their turn. Its unspoken. Starting from my daughter and her friend to each of my girls and even the newest member of our circle who is not quite two years old just yet, even though she was a bit apprehensive, she also stood still as she waited. (I had her mother hold her and I wasn't too close to them as I circled them with the smoking sage) Once I was done and the sage and candles were safely turned off we all had a great visit! We hadn't gathered in a while and it was great to finally do so. There's nothing like the energy of friendship, love, funny stories, teasing, good food, sweets, prepared, cooked and baked then to be enjoyed by a group of girlfriends that have a great deal of love and respect for one another. I am truly Blessed to have had the time with them. Until the next time. (Wonder if we could do a mini Thanksgiving dinner gathering, one can only have so much turkey...hmm I'll have to check with the girls)
Were you able to spend time with friends this weekend? Did you do anything with your family? Isn't it amazing the positive feeling we get? That positive energy that surrounds you and your close friends when you get together. It's a great feeling. When you do good things it makes you feel good. When you and your friends do good things it makes you and your friends as a collective group feel good. Just as when we do bad things, we will feel bad and bad things will follow. One can't expect to "catch a break" when one complains about whatever situation one may be in without even trying to make any changes for, the positive. I've heard people say, 'I'm so unlucky and things never seem to go their way." Yes, that's because you have told the Universe that you want to be unlucky and you don't want things to go your way.
How can it be so simple? According to Rhonda Byrne, author of The Secret, her research has lead her and others to believe that in can.

I don't want to discuss the book in too much detail because I feel that one should read it on their own. My girlfriends and I, we have agreed that, The Secret, isn't a book that can be read and "accepted" by everyone. (Key words; it can't be accepted by everyone) I personally feel that if you read this and even think, okay, so if I say, "when I wake up in the morning I will have keys to a new car in my drive way?" No, it doesn't work that way. One can't just sit on their couch and do nothing for no one and wish away, for things and stuff. If you don't believe in it, it won't work. Just like smudging.
What have you done to help, well anyone? What are you thankful for? When was the last time you said please? I find that as I have gotten older no one really says those two simple words. Please and thank you. People expect things and or no one says thank you for stuff any more. Its really sad? I commute everyday to and from work and its interesting to me that people aren't as nice to each other as they can or even should be. I know we all have our days and or we may wake up on the "wrong side of the bed", but as Rhonda's book says, if we could change our mind set, our beginning crappy day can turn into a positive and great one. It's up to us. We do have the power. If we choose to use it, that is up to us.

I would like to take these few Sundays and highlight a few of the entries of The Secret, that popped out for me. Last week, I took a picture of a page from the book that read. "Like Attracts Like." This is deffinelty one entry that popped out for me and is so true. As I mentioned before if you say you are going to be late or you are afraid you're going to be late or feel you will be, then yup, you will be late! SO DON'T even think it!!! And you won't be.
Another entry that popped into my head was, Bob Protoctor, is quoted in the book saying, "If you see it in your mind, you're going to hold it in your hand." What does this mean to me. I will tell you. Keep in mind, this also goes into 1. Ask. 2. Believe. 3. Receive.; As you have already read, I am a pretty private person. It is difficult for me to let anyone into my Zenful circle. But once you're in my circle, I can pretty much guarantee that you will feel my silly great positive energy. So having mentioned that, I don't have many friends because I don't want to be around anyone else's negative energy! I am very picky at who I choose to keep near. But at the same time, I know that there are some genuine people out there, that I should be around. I know that I will be surrounded by awesomeness of positive people. I can now say that I have a close net of friends that I have known for ten plus years and I can now say they are my family. And ironically, since I have started this Blog, not just 4 weeks ago today. I have a small group of friends (TWDG), from all over the world and we have even said and agree that we may have known each other in another life. I so feel this to be true because I feel the same way with the my girls(friends). And we too, have said the same thing to each other. I can't thank the Universe enough for the great energy I am now surrounded by. I am very fortunate.
To even take it a step further for me. At work. I go in do my job and thats it. I am not one to be friends with the people that I work with. Work can be so high school at times and I just don't want that negative energy. And out of all the jobs I have had, I was Blessed to have three people that I can say are my friends. One, Mari (yup, put you on blast!) We worked together and clicked right way, this was nearly 13 years ago. I also have another old co-worker that no longer works in the department I work in but we still keep in touch. And, I have another friend, she is as real as it gets, considering her background. I can't mention too much about who she is except that if I have a headache and I am out of my stash, she is there for me to dope me up! lol. I can mentioned something silly like, I so could eat a cupcake (I have serious cupcakes issues, I just love them! Vanilla on vanilla, mmmm) And there's been time this persons has surprised me with a cupcake. We check on each other to ensure we are okay. (work can be stressful) Again, Thank you UNIVERSE FOR guiding these people into my life! I have these people in my life because this is what I have wanted. A group of people to laugh and have each others back, whether its for ibuprofren, a laugh, a shoulder, or words of encourgement. My few other friends whom do no live near my but in other states. I am also grateful for. I love you all dearly. So yes I feel that the secret does work. But it does take work in order for us to get what it is we want. If you feel you are ready and want to make a positive change. I suggest you read this book. I did, I asked, I believed, and I have received! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! What are you thankful for? I will end this blog with, I am thankful for each and everyone of you taking the time to read this. Lets begin our Smudge Prayer.
Get in to your zenful please..........

Get in to your zenful please..........
I'll begin with an opening prayer that I always use:
I'd like to ask The Lord, our Father, to be with us today on this rainy Sunday Eve of the week ahead. I also like to ask my ancestors as well as yours to be with us today and the elements; water, earth, wind, & fire to be here; I also like to ask that the Goddess of the North, East, South, and West be here; I will finally ask that our Archangels to be here as well, Uriel's for wisdom, Raphael for healing, Michael for protection, & Gabriel for revelation.
I ask that all that look over us please be present during this time, to cleanse those that are in need of smudging, whether it's to remove any negative energy, seek clarity, or just wish to smudge to be thankful for the last week as well as give thanks to the week that's approaching us.
Please Bless us Lord during this time and continue to surrounded us with love, positive energy. strength & clarity. I banish any negativity that may surround us. Let Only peace, love, & positive energy enter our aura.
Now for the closing prayer:
I'd like to thank The Lord our Father for being here with us today. I also want to thank my ancestors as well as yours; I'd like to thank the elements: water, earth, wind, & fire; as well as the Goddess of the North, East, South, & West, & our Archangels; Uriel's for wisdom, Raphael for healing, Michael for protection, & Gabriel for revelation. Let this weekend end peaceful and let it begin with great positiveness for you and yours.
Amen.
If you have Monday off, enjoy the extra day of rest. But if you do work may the week begin with a productive and quick start into the week ahead. Until next week.
Namaste!
Awilda.
