The word BEAM…ever so slowing created space in the center…now revealing two words.  Be Am.
How profound, I thought.  I’d never thought of the word ‘beam’ in this way before.
For someone who’s all about shining her brilliance and beaming the light of her Divine Spark just because it feels so good, you’d have thought I may have considered this nifty word’s hidden message before.

BEAM ~

How cool is it that BEAM, which defined as a noun means:

1. A ray or shaft of light
* a directional flow of particles or radiation (energy beam)
2. A radiant or good-natured look or smile (a beam of satisfaction)

And that BEAM, when defined as a verb means:

1. transmit (energy) in a specified direction
2. shine brightly
3. smile radiantly

…how cool is it that BEAM as it is defined is so magically supportive of the two words brilliantly encoded within it, BE and AM?!?

Got BeAm?

My Joy of Brilliance Messengers rock so deep!  They know just how much I LOVE words and discovering more to them than meets the eye, so to speak.

Awakening to this BEAMing sign was one of those moments that has left me tingling with JOY ever since.

BE and AM ~

I’m sure I learned this somewhere back in the history of my grammatical English training.  And I’m sure I haven’t thought about it a day since.  Until now.

• The words BE and AM are representative of one another.
• ‘Am’ is the 1st person singular present of ‘Be’.
• Of course it is!

Both words have the same definition.
Be and Am ~

1. exist
2. occur; take place
3. having the state, quality, identity, nature, role, etc., specified

BEAM the AHA!

When we BEAM our BE AM-ness, we shine our light into the world from the inside, out…exuding the very qualities of our Joy of Brilliance!

It’s the eternal I AM.  It’s BE-ing.  It’s beam, with a wonderful, magical, brilliant capital B!

From this point forward BEAM will forever hold a deeper, more meaningful significance in the expression of my Joy of Brilliance.
I’m beaming with JOY, visualizing each and every one of you receiving this message of BeAm-ness into your experience.

‘Shine on’ rides side car today.
‘BEAM on’ is in the driver’s seat. Be Am your Joy of Brilliance to the max!

What will you BeAm today?
BEAM me up…let me hear all about it!

There was a time in my life where others attempted to lead me to believe that wearing rose colored glasses was wrong; that by wearing them I was somehow out of touch with reality.

Funny, right? Knowing what I/we know…  We are each responsible for creating our own reality.  And so, if this is the case…and it is…then my choice to see the world through rose colored glasses has served me very well.  (And it has)

Growing Up in the School of Hard Knocks

I remember so many instances growing up hearing adults around me say to one another:

• Get your head out of the clouds!
• Take those silly rose colored glasses off and see life for what it is!
• Get real!
• What do you think…life’s supposed to be a bowl of cherries?!
• You can’t have your cake and eat it, too!
• Oh yeah, to you life is all sunshine and rainbows!

I listened with a certain curiosity.
I wondered why the world these adults were living in was seemingly so bad?
What kind of glasses were they viewing life through?
Maybe they wanted to try mine.

My world through rose colored glasses

I observed that I rather liked my head in the clouds…watching them float by, seeing angels, bunny rabbits, pirate ships and castles.

I looked at life and  really did see sunshine and rainbows.  As far as a bowl of cherries go, they’ve never been my personal favorite…but if someone else likes them, why wouldn’t life be just like that?

I noticed that when I was at celebrations that included cake I could have it…and eat it, too!  And…there was always icing on the cake!  Bonus.  Why would someone think I could have cake…but I couldn’t eat it?  Strange reality these people lived.

Sunshine and rainbows have always been magical to me.  I see them all the time.  In fact, I’m pretty sure I haven’t seen a day yet where the sun hasn’t shone…OK, so maybe there are clouds at times…but I know the sun rises to greet each new day; has ever since I started paying attention!

I’ve seen double and triple rainbows as well as an abundance of singles.  While living on Kauai rainbows were a natural part of my day.  My life was then, and is now filled with sunshine and rainbows.  I like it like that.  It brings me joy.  And why not?

Life’s Road is paved with…

Why is it that human nature at times tends to sway in the direction of belief that life is somehow meant to be hard, fraught with challenge, obstacles, rough spots and stuck or yuck?

Who ever gave us the notion that life was to be anything other than JOYful, FEEL GOOD, HAPPY…and just plain delicious to live?

I believe we can find rainbows in every situation.  If that makes me one of those silly rose colored glasses wearers, then so be it!

• I’m proud to take my stand as someone who’s committed to seeing the good in life.
• I’m committed to creating my reality the way I see it; the way I want it to be.

Did you know rose colored glasses are FREE?

It’s true.  Rose colored glasses are a CHOICE. And they’re completely FREE for the choosing!

Well, the metaphorical kind are, anyway.  I’ve had some pretty cool regular ones, too.  The kind that actually sit on your face and have bows that extend over your ears.

They cost a few couple bucks, unless you find a pair discarded on the roadside when someone feels life’s not meant to be so glorious and they leave them behind!

That’s happened to me before!  I’ve found someone else’s discarded glasses…and they just happened to be rose colored.  No kidding!  Meant for me, yes?

Are you laughing? Good.  I’m serious.  Laughing again? No?  Why not?  Yes? Good.

Rose colored glasses look good on EVERY ONE! They’re not for the faint of heart, though.  Beware.

• Wearing rose colored glasses will get you noticed.
• People will wonder just what’s gotten into you.
• Others will question your sanity; surely no one could be this happy.
• Your loved ones will wonder if it’ll ever where off; secretly hoping not.

Other rose colored glasses wearers will be drawn to you like bees to honey.  You’re sweet…and you know where the feel good is.

• Expect sudden bursts of JOY in your life while wearing them.
• There are no known side effects for wearing them 24/7.
• Even in sleep time, people have reported deeper, more restful sleep and magically inspiring dreams while wearing their rose colored glasses in bed.

I’ve heard other bed time reports as well.  Wearing rose colored glasses at all times (even during bed times…) increases the feel good across the board.  Use your imagination if further explanation is necessary.  Good stuff.

My Story 

My character, my inner brilliance has always been strong; my own experience has always spoken more loudly to me than what someone else may suggest to be true.

Though there were some years where I attempted to mask the effects of my rose colored glasses on my life from the rest of the world so as not to outwardly draw undue attention to the joy I was living; in time I realized that letting my rose colored-ness shine was good for me…and overall, it has had a pretty decent effect on those around me as well.

Notice~

The story I’m sharing doesn’t include stuck and yuck pieces.  That doesn’t mean there weren’t any.  There were plenty from another view.  I’m choosing to tell the story from my rose colored glasses view…and from that perspective I see JOY.  Period.  …and the stucky-yucky places-spaces?  The joy within them.  That’s the ticket.

The following is an excerpt from Esther and Jerry Hicks, “The Law of Attraction”.

It seems Abraham likes rose colored glasses, too!

How Do We Avoid Influence from Old Beliefs and Habits?

Jerry: Abraham, it seems to be particularly difficult for most of us to discarding old ideas, beliefs, and habits. Would you be willing to give us a affirmation that would assist us in avoiding any influence from our past experiences and beliefs?

Abraham: I am powerful in my now. We are not encouraging a discarding of old ideas, for in trying to get rid of them you actually only think about them more. And, some of your old ideas are worth keeping. Just be more aware of how you are directing your thoughts, and make a decision that you want to feel good…… Today no matter where I am going, no matter what I am doing, it is my dominant intent to see that which I want to see. Nothing is more important than that I feel good.

Jerry: So, if people are witnessing the negatives being broadcast through the media, or even listening to problems that they might hear presented by their friends, how could they keep the negativity from offsetting them?

Abraham: By setting forth the intent, in every segment of their life experience, to see that which they want to see. And then, even from the most negative presentations, they could see something that they want.

Are you wearing your rose colored glasses 24/7? When do you notice you’ve forgotten to don them?  
What are some of your most gleaming rose colored glasses moments? Do tell!  I so love to hear from you.

PS~Life IS a bowl of cherries.
PPS~You CAN have your cake and eat it, too!
PPPS~I AM living proof.  :0)

In times gone by people may have said they needed an ego boost.  The ego has played it’s game, had it’s fame and seen it’s demise.  Ego has made it to the top of the charts, popular in many circles only to come crashing down…not able to maintain it’s inflated appeal.

If you’ve been reading my recent posts then you know I’ve been spending some quality time with Lakshmi, the Goddess of Prosperity and Abundance each morning for the past almost 40 mornings.

Today, as is always the case, Lakshmi brought an amazing idea to my awareness.

“The ‘I AM’ Boost ~ It’s what the authentic self needs now.

Let your ‘I AM’ shine!  Be the Brilliance that you are born to be.”

How fun is that?!?

An ‘I AM’ Boost gets us in touch with the divinity of who we are.  In a world that often looks as if everything is tarnished, unable to shine, we need a lift…a reminder…  “a boost of umphff” that raises us up, vibration and all!

Trail of Serendipity

As often happens when an inspired post is ready to come through me everything leading up to the moment of writing it seems to have flashing lights of connection and relativity.  Today those flashing lights came in tweets from the Twitterverse and a question in another’s blog.

The inspired answer that flowed from within through my fingers to the keyboard was serendipitously aligned with the ‘I AM’ Boost idea.

It’s the same answer that I believe will help with anything we want to manifest…be it a loving marriage, an incredible career, more meaningful relationships, the weight loss we’ve been pining for, the patience and calm of compassionate parenting…etc.!

The answer is LOVE.  And when love is the answer the questions melt away.

LOVE = God = Source = I AM

Pure Love is an interesting thing.  It’s the unconditional kind, the kind that comes without agenda, attachment, worry, regret.  It’s the kind we all need a little more of.  And it’s the kind that there’s an infinite supply of, ready for our receiving in every moment…if only we open ourselves to it.

This love doesn’t depend on anything ‘outside’ to survive.  It’s inside and it’s doesn’t just survive…it thrives.  It’s there 24/7.  All we have to do is tap into it!

The ‘I AM’ Boost puts us there in a fast, powerful, magical way.

Hook Up with I AM

Just chanting ‘I AM’ over and over will give you truth bumps and waves of vibration raising goodness.  “I Am that, I am” is one of the most revered phrases in spiritual circles.  “I Am” is God, Source, Divinity, the ONE and the ALL.  ‘I AM’ is LOVE.

To connect with our ‘I AM’; to give ourselves an ‘I AM’ boost is to connect with the truth of Source within us at all times.  This boost ignites us, lights us up, gives us strength and the power we need to go on.

The vibration of ‘I AM’ is so powerful it can shift even the darkest, gloomiest mood, vibe, situation.

• Try it.

• Be with it.

• Let the LOVE of ‘I AM’ come alive from within.

It’s all there waiting for you.  It’s who you are. You choose to activate it.  Go on.  Give it a try!  Give yourself an ‘I AM’ Boost!!

Feel the love, the power, the presence of ‘I AM’.  Raise yourself up.  Shine On!  Why wouldn’t you?  Feels good, yes?

The ‘I AM’ Boost.  An immediate and satisfying way to connect with that which you are…
A shining, brilliant being of Source Energy.

I Am that, I AM!

*Deep Gratitude to Lakshmi for the energy of prosperity and abundance awake within me and my inspiring, creative energy that partners in manifestation!

A few days ago I posted, “Let Your Love Create Your World”. In that post I shared the lyrics to a song that our homeschool kids used to sing on Kauai. The song has always stuck with me; it’s catchy, fun and has great depth of meaning.

Now, I have to say I know I’m not the best singer in the world (far from it, I know)…but there’s something about singing this song that just feels good! So no worries, I won’t be auditioning for American Idol any time soon, and I know it’s “pitchy” (thank you Randy Jackson!)…I just wanted to share it so that those of you who were wondering which tune to put to the lyrics could wonder no more. (Well, sort of.) Now if only technology allowed for sing alongs! :0)

I won’t be surprised when I hear someone standing next to me in the grocery store humming the tune…it’s catchy…and it WILL BRIGHTEN YOUR DAY! :0)

Letting Love Create My World..
