Anointing August as Prosperity Month - August 2010

Since we each have the power, authority and ability to name (as did Adam, the biblical “first man”) all of the aspects and items of our experience, I have chosen to anoint the month of August as Prosperity Month. Why not? After all, August is the  8th month of the year. The number 8 in numerology has been said to represent prosperity. The dictionary defines prosperity as “a successful, flourishing or thriving condition, especially in financial aspects; good fortune.” And… I can see no harm in consciously activating ideas of abundant good fortune for at least one month per year. I like it! So what do you say? Shall you join me?

If so, let us affirm right here and right now:

1. I apply ALL of my energies to the accomplishment of my complete, permanent, continuously expanding financial freedom and happiness in every aspect of my life!

2. I AM successful, flourishing, thriving and enjoying GOOD fortune in ALL aspects of life!

3. My health, my career, my relationships, my supply (all that I need and want for my greater good and the greater good of all) and my spirituality are all thriving!

By the way, these are the first three declarations in my book Prosperity NOW! Daily affirmations for the completeness of prosperous living which has served as the foundation of the Prosperity NOW! Prayer Movement.

Domestic Violence Awareness - How do I love Thee?

The data above reflect only reported incidents. Experts believe that reported cases are only a fraction of the actual incidents of intimate partner violence. What also remains undocumented are the myriad incidents of mental, emotional, and financial abuse that is endured, which are outside the purview of legal action. Physical wounds are discrete, identifiable, and heal in a systematic way. Emotional violence, which is invisible to the eye, and wounds deeply within, is not necessarily identifiable and may or may not heal over time unless a conscious effort is made to address the inner wounds

Ultimately, women can heal. Women can and do rise to a level of self-love that inspires them to expect complete satisfaction and happiness in their intimate relationships. This self-love inspires them to take whatever steps are necessary to receive the love and support that they need from others in order to be safe, to heal ALL facets of their selves (heart, mind, body, and soul) and to be completely happy.

Listen to Gina Jackson's story:
Surviving Domestic Violence

If you or someone you know is concerned about your relationship, you are not alone. Support is available. It may not even be “that bad,” but if it is not “all good” there is nothing to lose by talking to someone who may be able to help you with your concerns. Call 800.799.SAFE (7233). Visit www.endabuse.org or www.mentalhealthamerica.com.

A good standard for loving others, and being loved, is how one loves oneself.

Consider:
How do I love ME? Let me count the ways.

Affirm:
I love ME to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach....

If you are the friend or family member that is approached for support, do your very best to listen, not judge, be supportive, and love the woman or girl who trusts you to share that which may be so very painful and confusing. For additional information, go to www.endabuse.org. Concerned men can get information and get involved at www.acalltomen.com and www.menstoppingviolence.org.

Learn how boys and men are impacted, too, as well as
how they are/can be involved in breaking the cycle:

 Most importantly, let us all remember:
There is No Excuse for Abuse.
