My dearest friends,

There is no doubt in my mind now whatsoever that affirmations do work, when done correctly, and this is such a liberating realization.

The first time I came across affirmations was when I read Louise Hay's book YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE. Louise is very big on affirmations, and she turned her life around completely using affirmations. I loved the way she exuded this aura of positivity, and I wanted that for myself. I wanted everything about me to be positive, and to radiate beauty and positivity to others. I wanted people to feel and experience that emanation of positivity from me, the way they feel it from people like Louise Hay, Oprah Winfrey, and Mariam Williamson.

Surely this was something worth pursuing, and I have been using affirmations steadily ever since. I have to say practice does make perfect. The persistence and repetition is what helps to make them so effective. It is true that I create more of what I focus on, and affirmations really help me to focus on the things I want. When I do that, miracles happen. I look back over the last 10 years of my life and I see that the things I affirmed I wanted to do have happened.

For example

I wanted to be a musician able to play several different instruments; and without any formal lessons I taught myself to play keyboards, guitar, drums and percussion and to perform in front of audiences. 

 I wanted to manifest a business, I affirmed that and it happened.

I wanted a very loving relationship, to feel really appreciated by a wonderful good looking man. I affirmed it, and manifested that also.

I wanted a lovely new house with a garden, large enough for all my various activities, peaceful and serene. I affirmed that and manifested it.

I wanted a loving spiritual community of like-minded people as my neighbours, with whom I could mediate, pray, and share life issues. I affirmed that, and manifested it in 3 different areas of my life.

I wanted to stabilize my weight and look good. I affirmed it and manifested that also. People tell me today I look 15 years younger than I am.

I wanted to cut out bad habits like smoking, excessive drinking, codependency, debting, complaining, gossiping,  and general negativity. I affirmed all of that, and manifested it all. Yes! Every single one.

So I know that affirmations work. I have other desires I would like to manifest, some things are more important than others to me now; and I am fine-tuning my goals and simplifying my life even more with the use of affirmations.

It is my desire now to encourage everyone to do their own affirmations and reap all their benefits. We have everything to gain, and nothing to lose except our human pain and suffering.

Please know that my Spirit is with you, as you do your affirmations, and may all your heart's desires come true.

Love and Light
