Taurin May 16, 2012 “Understanding the new energies¨

Dear hearts it is my pleasure to once again be with each of you. We bring to you today the energies of immense joy, trust in self and the energies of transformation. We bring to you today understanding in how these energies work with you and through you by aiding you with stepping fully into your higher self and into your highest truth.

Dear ones in order to understand the codes that are currently flooding your being through divine rays of light, you must first understand yourself. If you can understand the motivation behind your fear, heal and transmute this energy and then step into the motivation behind your love, you will begin to understand these divine codes that are inundating your physical form at this time.

As you begin to understand and work with these codes precious ones these waves of energies will begin to perform a deeper cellular cleansing and shift within your bodies. Dear hearts it cannot be overstated that these energies do not do the work for you but rather with you. It is possible to continue to resist this shift and choose more uncomfortable situations, but if you do make the choice to surrender and work with the energies now present, you will find you are able to progress far easier than ever before. Old wounds you have tried unsuccessfully again and again to leave behind can now be easily cleared and healed when you choose to work with these new energies and allow your surrender. Nothing is done for you, but when you choose to surrender to your divine right as a higher functioning multidimensional being, everything is done with you and through you to the extent that your being will allow such assistance.

We remind you dear ones to firmly anchor yourself to Gaia by spending more time in nature. As she is also undergoing a deep healing process, the frequencies of light she is absorbing will aide you in your own understanding, healing, and ascension to your divine temple within.

The coming weeks will be an opportune time to heal and purify all you are still holding tightly to, and we would greatly encourage using this time for such a purification. Dear hearts you are a magnificent being completely in charge of your own creation. Use the delicate balance between perfect stillness and divinely timed action to step fully into your creator magnificence.

Beloveds we send expansive joy and playful laughter from the angelic realm to all who read these words. Until we meet again, au revoir.

Taurin channeled by Dezarae Starnes May 14, 2012 “Distinguishing your higher self¨

Dear ones, you are the sacred source. There is no cause to look outside of yourself for pieces of this puzzle you are assembling. The highest truth of what you are experiencing is within you. This is where you must always direct your every question, and accept that the answers that are given to you are from the highest source. You will know when you are being spoken to from this divine well, because the answers you are given from this precious space are simple, useful and practical. The highest truth is always very easy in this regard.

There is another aspect which distinguishes truth from the higher self, and that is the energy of knowing. This energy of knowing, of remembering, feels very different from the energy of creation. Take for example a remembering of your childhood home. Remember how it smells, how it feels, the placement of its rooms, the colors and warmth you feel when you walk into this home. Take notice of the energy of remembrance. This energy feels heavy, because there is so much sensory information stored there. The space is full of substance.

Now suppose someone asked you to tell them about your dream home. They want a detailed analysis of what you would create. You start to think about materials you would use, how many rooms you would want, placement of rooms with regard to your specific needs and desires, what color you would paint the walls, which type of flooring you would choose, if you will build a basement or an attic. Think about the energy you are now experiencing dear hearts. This energy feels lighter, because it is an empty space which you are filling in with your imagination, with your desires.

When you receive information from your higher self, you can be sure of what you are receiving, because this energy will feel like a moment of clarity, like a remembrance, and the message will always be one of love. Knowledge from your higher self will not leave you with a sense of fear, because you only receive new information when you have prepared yourself for it. You receive that inner guidance when you are ready to take the next step. When you are ready, miraculously, the answer to your burning question will be there before you have birthed the last syllable of your query dear ones.

Beloveds we send precious peace from the angelic realms to all who read these words. Until we meet again, au revoir.

Taurin channeled by Dezarae Starnes “There is no thing you need!” May 5, 2012

Taurin: We are delighted to be with you again beloved sister!

Dezarae: Sweet Taurin, do you have another message for us today that we need for our journey?

Taurin: My love there is no thing you need! As long as you feel there is some thing lacking in your experience there will be. Dear heart for as long as you feel you are in need of some thing you will be! At what point do you decide there is no thing else you need?

Dezarae: Hmm are you just nit picking my words?

Taurin: *laughter* Absolutely not dear heart! You chose that word for a reason! There is still a belief inside of you that you need to do, see, be, or have something that you do not. If you hold the belief that you are not yet there, you never will be there. Allow us take this one step further. At what point do you decide there is no more journey? For as long as you define yourself as walking along a path how can you sink into the creation of yourself as complete? If the energy surrounding your bodies is of a being on a grand journey picking up lost fragments of self along the way, how can that energy shift to one that has finished a grand journey and collected all those pieces? Do you see dear one there is already a version of yourself who has all those fragments?

For as long as you feel you are searching, you will continue to search. Go ahead and BE the divine grace you already are! Shift your energy to that of one who has just finished and won the race! There is where you find your truth dear ones.

Most of you shift into your Champion creation and celebrate the love you have brought into the world, but you tend to slip back to what feels comfortable as you view the heavy 3D world. What feels familiar for you is your journey to ascension. You could view this reaction as shifting back and forth between 3D and 5D. To maintain in the higher dimensions you must simply feel you are finished with the race.

For someone that goes to medical school, they eventually graduate and actually start to feel like a doctor once they experience being a doctor instead of being in a classroom. They experience the rewards of being a doctor by being a doctor rather than a student of medicine.

You have learned that to receive love you must simply BE love. We present this message to you in the same simple truth. To ascend into the higher realms BE ascended rather than on an ascension path.

Dear hearts we send grace and love from the angelic realms to all who read these words. Until we meet again, au revoir.

Taurin channeled by Dezarae Starnes “Anchoring to your high heart” May 4, 2012

Dear friends I greet you today in joy! I am pleased to be here with you once again. We know the heart of all who read these words, and you must know dear ones how very precious you are. Although you may not always feel it, each of you are vital to the unfolding of the divine plan.

You may not always see the paths your light travels, so know now dear hearts how very vast and all consuming your reach is. Your awakening has effects on the masses all over the world whom you have never even met, because as your light travels out into the grid it seeks to illuminate all darkness and seeps into any cracks it may heal. Your light also effects others with whom you have spent countless lifetimes though you may not be aware of them in this lifetime. Any members of your soul family who have yet to awaken to their true divine nature are effected on a profound level by your awakening as it sends ripples of loving remembrance through their souls. They may not be consciously aware of what this touch means, but they do begin to long for more.

Some of you do not grasp the full scope of your reach, because your higher self is not yet anchored to your physical body. You go deep within to your meditations and often send your soul out into the world, out into the universe, to perform some healing, some noble service for your fellow brothers and sisters. When you return to yourself, your soul is light and free and does not always meld properly into your dense physical form. This leaves your greatest asset parked right outside the garage dear ones!

Ancient tribes in the history of the Earth had a daily ritual of rejoining their physical body with their spirit each day. They feared if they did not complete this ritual their spirit would simply float away, and their physical form would perish. As with most Earthly religions or spiritual practices there is some grain of truth to these beliefs. No, you will not die, but you will feel that separation. You will feel that something is lacking dear ones.

On those days when you are feeling disconnected from your truth simply sit in silence and ask your spirit to rejoin your body and fully anchor itself there in your high heart. While doing this you must not let your spirit wander out into the vast universe as you do in your meditation practice dear ones. On the contrary, you must place your total awareness on your physical form, and take note of which frequency your form vibrates. Then place your total awareness on your spirit, and take note of the frequency at which your spirit vibrates. Your intention will then be to sit in stillness asking that these two energies meld together as one. You may feel each cell of your physical form begin to vibrate at a higher frequency as the divine energy of your spirit begins to heal each precious cell with golden radiance.

You may use this practice daily if you wish, but after utilizing this tool for a few weeks, your physical body should be much less dense from the cleansing it has experienced. This will enable your spirit to come back home fully and comfortably each time it returns to your form. Once this happens you will feel as if you are glowing, as if you are radiant as you step into the full truth of who you really are dear hearts.

We send love to all those who read these words today. Until we meet again, au revoir.

Taurin “Transmutation of Heavy Energies” channeled by Dezarae Starnes May 2, 2012

Dezarae: A few people have come to me for advice recently and have mentioned that they feel they have cleared so much debris from their bodies, but they still have this one nagging issue that they just cannot seem to shake. They feel healed and whole except for this great big elephant sitting in the room, whether that be from trauma related to health, disease, abuse, drugs or diet. I too can relate to this phenomenon. What kind of advice can those in the angelic realm offer to those of us still trying to heal that last little difficult piece of ourselves that seems to be stagnated in 3D energy?

Taurin: I am so pleased to be with you once again dear hearts. It is my honor to answer this question for you today. It is most important that you fully understand the truth of your being. You have within you the grand power of the divine creator. Each being that has been permitted to incarnate on the Earth at this time has been given an important task to see to completion. You have each been entrusted with such an important mission, because time and time again you have proven yourselves to be capable of completing your work. Many wished to offer their service at this time, but you were chosen dear ones.

The particular project you are working on at this moment is one of great importance, because although planets have ascended many times before, this planet has chosen to take the human race along with her. It was decided that if this experiment were to be successful we would need to send only the most capable, the bravest, and the most determined souls to carry out this process.

Throughout the history of the Earth there have been many injustices, massacres, and other gruesome forms of violence committed on her soil. In order for the Earth and the human population to ascend into the higher realms this heavy energy needed to be transmuted into a lighter energy and fed back into the Earths grid.

The most loving beings were sent to populate the Earth at this time, and so as each of you heal an aspect of yourselves and release that loving accepting energy back into the Earth, you bring yourselves all one step closer to ascension. What you must realize my dear hearts is that the heavy energy, or as you call it the last little difficult piece of yourself, does not belong to you.

Before your incarnation you agreed to take on the heavy energy associated with your most persistent issue, to then use the powerful divine force of your light to transmute this energy into the vibration of love, and release that transmuted energy back to the Earth.

It has been said that you must be the change you wish to see in the world. This wisdom is greater than you know dear ones. As each of you work only on healing that last piece that aches to be consumed by love you are not healing only yourselves, but you are healing anyone in the entire history of the Earth who has ever struggled with that particular issue. Dear hearts this happens due to your combined efforts joining together to create a great force which propels your healing out into the world to consume the heavy energy of that particular vibration attached to other beings or areas as well.

My love you falsely believe you are carrying your heaviest baggage when you are in fact carrying someone else’s baggage, because you were the strongest in the group. The only thing you have left to do is empty the bag and let go of it for it was never yours to begin with.

I feel your energy begin to shift dear heart. Have you come to a greater understanding?

Dezarae: Taurin I feel a huge load lifting from my shoulders! Thank you so much for this beautiful wisdom you have shared with us today. For me personally knowing that this resistant energy does not even belong to me, and I can turn it into love and let it go really has made a great deal of difference. I still sense that some might find it difficult to let go of something they have been holding on to so tightly and claiming as their own for so long. Is there any practical advise the angelic realm can offer that we can use to let go?

Taurin: Oh yes dear heart! The only thing you could do is just BE, and BE in joy! Be stillness. Be love. Drink lots of water so that your body can heal itself, and you can have a greater connection to your higher self. Eat foods that are alive as they carry important information and will raise your vibration. Spend time grounding yourselves to Mother Earth by being in nature dear ones, and bring more nature into your home in the form of plants and animals. Laugh more, play more, and embrace each other more often. When you feel the energy of that heavy load you have been carrying, bless it in love and release more of it knowing that it does not belong to you, and go back to your practice of joy. Doing this every day will ensure completion of your mission and ascension into the higher realms dear hearts. Until we meet again, au revoir.

Saint Taurin channeled by Dezarae Starnes “Making space for creation.”

Creation

Dear hearts I wish to speak with you today about letting go of ideas, beliefs, rituals, or habits that do not serve your greater good. Some of your existing 3D patterns are currently holding you back from witnessing the miraculous occurrences happening in and around your planet in every moment. It has been said that seeing is believing, but through your own spiritual practice you have come to know that believing is seeing my dear hearts. It is only by letting go of the old patterns that you make space for your new creations to emerge within your present moment reality.

Dear friends there is only love in our words. We present you with a simple outline. If you wish to see your creations come to fruition, you must make space for them by letting go of the energy of old creations that no longer serve your highest good. You must choose your creations wisely. Only focus your energies on those desires which you wish to manifest into your physical reality. Focusing your intent on anything you do not intend to create will only give more power and propulsion to that which you do not want.

What we wish for you to understand today is the creation outline. You must first clearly identify your intention and the space within which its creation is intended. After you have done so, you collect these intention energies, and from this place you go deep within your own tender heart to that deep space of all that is, to that space of no thing. When you are deep within this space you have the sense that you are not even breathing nor do you require breath. This is how you will know you have found the correct frequency. You release the intention energies into this place. From this divine temple where nothing exists but a never ending fountain of unconditional love your creation is birthed. Following this moment is your cue to take action in the physical which will bring form to your birthed creation. The creation process must be completed in this order for manifestation to occur.

You are incredibly powerful radiant spiritual beings! Many of you do not truly realize your powers of co-creation, but you are a creator first and foremost. You even have influence on the weather! While the sun is beating down hot on your head, you often wish for a cool breeze to pass your way or a cool rain shower to pour down. In that moment many of you focus your intent on the heat of the sun rather than a cool rain shower. If you want the rain, do not focus on the Sun’s searing heat. If you want the rain you must go within your still place and remember the rain. Remember how it feels falling from the sky onto your face. Remember how it smells as it surrounds you and begins to seep into the ground beneath your feet. Remember the taste and feel of sticking your tongue out to collect raindrops. Remember how each little drop sounds beating against the leaves of the trees. Remember the sound of laughter as children splash around where a puddle has gathered. Remember this fondly with love filling your body, and then shout out into the universe that it is so. This is how you create what you intend my dear ones, by mixing the energies of your intended creation with the energies of love and then using appropriate action to see them manifest before you.

This very creation outline is how we are all working together to bring about the New Earth. Many of you create as you go along, completely unaware of what you are adding to or taking away from the collective consciousness. It is now time to create with focused intent precious hearts! I implore you to see your grand potential. Oh if only you could see yourselves with my heart beloved angels! You would never doubt your worth again! You would release all that does not serve you, and you would do so with abundant laughter. What an incredible joy it is to be with you today! Whenever you need a loving friend, call on me and know I walk beside you. Until we meet again, au revoir!

Saint Taurin “Who is the teacher, and who is the student?”

creation

Saint Taurin channeled by Dezarae Starnes “Who is the teacher, and who is the student?”

Greetings again dear hearts. It is my extreme pleasure to once again converse with you this beautiful day. I am so pleased to join you in the spirit of oneness. Although we celebrate your successes in every moment, soon we will truly begin our celebrations with you as each day our work draws nearer to completion.

I would like to speak with you today dear hearts on the matter of this form of sharing. Our channel has expressed her excitement at being permitted to access great wisdom from the Ascended Masters in this manner. Oh dear ones do you not see that we are not simply your teachers. You are not simply our students. Through this great experiment we have each played these roles. My precious hearts it is you who are teaching us a great deal during this tumultuous time in the history of Earth. There are many on this side of the veil that were uncertain you would come so far, but you have indeed exceeded our greatest expectations. It is you that give us hope and encouragement. It is you who surprised so many beings all across this vast universe with your unending courage and determination.

Our dear channel has spoken before of sometimes playing the part of teacher and at others times playing the role of student. The importance of seeing each being you come into contact with as a chance to learn a new lesson or a chance to give a new gift of clarity to another cannot be overstated. You are constantly evolving with each other, and even after your Ascension into the higher realms, you will still continue that path of learning. The quest for ultimate truth and love cannot be quenched until that divine reunion with the breath of source. This dear channel understood the many roles you play with each other, but she is just now realizing through our words that sometimes we are her teachers, and sometimes we are her students who delight in what she gifts us. What an exciting revelation! I can feel her heart swell and her body begin to tremble with excitement, so I will close before the connection is lost.

Beloved hearts, do you not see what a gift you are to us? Only the bravest, strongest, and purest amongst us raised their hands and proclaimed that they would incarnate during this time and lead the Earth back to her rightful home in the higher dimensions. If you are reading this message now, you are amongst those that bravely stood and volunteered for so much pain so that the collective may share so much joy. You are now being cleansed of that pain before the moment of the great transition. You are a treasure! You are a gift! You are devoted teachers for us providing such a necessary service. We stayed here in service to remind you of your divine radiance and give you hope as you complete your mission. Never doubt yourself for you are so close, and there is no turning back. What you have manifested for yourselves is divine! From this side of the veil we send you so much love in every single moment. You need only ask for anything you need and trust that it is done. Until we meet again, au revoir.

Saint Taurin April 25, 2012

Angel

I connected with the most beautiful energy this morning during my meditation. I actually felt him step into my energetic field. This energy was so powerful that I could only sit and weep after he left me. Although this is nothing I expected, I had sensed that much of my book was channeled, and I may be an energetic conduit for the angelic realm. He had much more to say, so I think he will be back. What a blessing and honor it is to share this message with you.

Saint Taurin: Peace and love to you. You may call me Taurin. May we be of service through you?

Dezarae: Hello Taurin. I understand your intentions. What would you like to say to us today?

Saint Taurin: There is so much to say! I should begin by introducing myself, but I would much rather speak of you dear hearts! Dear ones do you know how precious you are? I stand in magnanimous awe of your beauty. How you do shine! All of heaven stand in awesome gratitude of your service. Collectively you have already accomplished the mission you have returned to satisfy, and I see nothing removing you from the timeline which will ultimately lead you to a period of peace and prosperity for all as has been divinely decreed. Indeed I speak of moving out of seperation and into oneness with all. We could not be more pleased with the progression of events as everything is completing precisely according to the divine timetable which had been set forth.

I am filled with joy to be in conversation with you this morning as I have been attempting to make contact with you for some time now, of which I know you are already aware. A great deal of the souls incarnate on Earth at this time are in the process of awakening to the truth of their divine nature. As each of you begin to realize the truth of what has been hidden from you for so very long you inspire others to perceive the same. You push the cobwebs from your faces and see the light that spills truth over all form. I see your hearts dear ones. I see that behind every act of pain, suffering, and malace the only recourse to ease that longing is love. Every soul on Earth, nay, every soul in the universe desires for this pure love. Although many of you do not know it, each of you desire to return to the source from which you came. (laughter) That is a long journey indeed! I too walk this path. We are all on this course, but this most exciting time you are experiencing is a great step in returning to that source.

You are on the right track. Do not doubt yourselves for in each moment that you may think you are out of alignment, that you are struggling, you are in fact letting go of more residue that has built up around your energy centers. Anything that is not of love will leave you. Anything that does not resonate with that same frequency of love will break free from your reality. You are truly creating the New Earth, and it is indeed a sight to behold! What you have accomplished in such a short period of time will be cherished and revered for eons to come. Beings from all over the universe will be sharing your stories and enjoying your tales of your years on the Earth. You are already a hero for incarnating on such a difficult planet during such an intense moment, and each of you are considered extremely important in the divine plan.

I implore of you dear hearts, know your truth, your strength, your grandness. Know you are almost there. Know who you are for you are breathtaking to behold. Speaking on behalf of the angelic realm, we send a massive wave of love to all those who read these words and open their hearts to this message. Until we meet again, au revoir.

Why you can’t lose weight

Weight loss is about a lot more than calories in vs calories out as we’ve been disciplined to believe. The trick to sustainable weight loss and vital health is understanding the many aspects of it.

Mental body: First you need to examine what your core beliefs are about weight loss. Due to so many failed diet attempts, many of us start to believe that we are somehow different and weight loss just doesn’t work for us. We start to believe that losing weight is hard. This type of thinking can hold you back from reaching your ideal health. You must work to heal the mental body of this type of damaging programming. Each time you find yourself thinking or speaking a negative trait about weight loss, change your mind by repeating affirmations such as “Losing weight is so easy!” “My body releases excess fat with ease!”

If you have to make up a chant that you repeat to yourself often such as “Why is losing weight so effortless for me?” Remember that forming your affirmation as a question will help you bypass your filters that do not believe the new programming you’re offering. Visualize yourself daily as thin, vibrant, healthy and able to do things that your health has held you back from – maybe it’s skydiving or hiking or just playing with your kids in the park. Healing the mind is an integral part of sustainable weight loss.

Emotional body: Until you can learn to heal by forgiving yourself and others and practicing self love, you will find that maintaining weight loss will be difficult. As long as these painful emotions and situations are stored in your emotional body you will risk falling back into old patterns in an attempt to find comfort there. A daily practice of meditation where you focus on forgiveness and cleansing your emotional body will become an important part of your healing. By learning to be your own best friend and really truly loving yourself no matter what your size, you will naturally gravitate to loving yourself with delicious wholesome food and sweeter mind chatter. ;)

Spiritual body: Realize that you are a divine spiritual being having a physical experience! The human body is absolutely incredible, but when it is ill, it can have an effect on our spiritual experiences and hold us back from our advancement. Your spiritual body holds all the information of your past incarnations which may be having an effect on your weight loss struggles. Perhaps in a past life you had to go without food for a long period of time and swore and oath that you’d never live in such a way again? Perhaps you were treated so poorly and made to feel so small that you feel the need in this lifetime to make sure you are seen? Maybe this is your first incarnation into a physical form and you are used to being at one with all and feeling expansive and this physical body just feels too dense and restrictive? Whatever the reason, you are in charge and you can let go of the hold these experiences have had on you. Thank them for being your teachers and release yourself of any oaths you took or anything that is chaining you to the past. You can ask any of the archangels for help cutting the cords that tie you down to past experiences.

Physical body: Many of us suffer from an overgrowth of yeast in our bodies. Some of us only have a bit of this overgrowth which pops up as cravings and daily aches. Some of us have such a prolific yeast overgrowth that it has actually attacked all of our organs and produces constant cravings for their favorite food. These little guys are alive, and they LOVE sugar or anything that acts like sugar! They will do anything to survive, so they beg for it! No matter how good your plan is or how much healing you’ve done in the other areas, if you do not address this problem, you will find it difficult to stick to your program. They crave, love, and feast on refined sugar, bread, the multitude of sugar substitutes, white flour, white potatoes, white rice, white pasta, sweet fruits and moldy nuts – especially peanuts! You simply have to starve these little guys. It is not about willpower! You’ve been lied to and made to believe that you are weak when the truth is that you are infested! You have to starve the yeast so they die.

You can do this by fasting on a filtered water diet. After 3 days your body will begin eating these guys (and fat cells) for fuel and healing your body of disease. That is by far the quickest way to get rid of these guys, but for most people it is quite difficult to go so long without food. The times I’ve committed to water fasting, I have seen a tremendous decrease in the amount of yeast related pain my body suffered from but generally went back to eating after a week due to social pressures and situations. The second best option is to eat a diet that is mostly alkaline. Eating an alkaline diet means your body will be spending much less time trying to correct your pH, and will instead spend that energy on healing the rampant yeast overgrowth in your organs. As these guys begin to die off, you will feel awful. That means it’s working! Don’t give up when it starts working!! You may find that a 24-48 hour fast before you start the alkaline diet will help you stick to it easier. If you have a relapse, just pick yourself back up, fast again for 24 hours (6pm-6pm is the easiest) and then start over. This is about healing from a difficult infestation. You’re not expected to be perfect at it, but the better you do the less amount of time you’ll have to spend on this particular part. <3 This is the aspect that I am still working on... healing the yeast overgrowth in my body and not giving in to their nonstop cravings for bread, sugar, and fruit. (I am considering a 30 day water fast as I believe this will completely heal my yeast overgrowth for good, but I also realize that I do not have to do everything to the far extreme as I have a tendency to do. Balance is important.)

Management: In my opinion this is the easiest part. Most people will tell you that this is the ONLY part, but it’s in fact the smallest piece of the puzzle. You can lose weight by only following this step, but you will find it difficult to maintain your weight loss until you’ve completed the other aspects as well. You simply need to schedule time for doing some form of exercise that you enjoy, researching delicious healthy recipes, and shopping for healthy alkaline foods. Be sure to read ingredient labels and familiarize yourself with all the various sugar substitutes that are hiding in products! Also drink plenty of filtered water. Adding in a tiny bit of baking soda from time to time will give the water a higher pH level and help to keep your body functioning at its best, so it can spend more time healing its damage. If you don’t like the taste, add in some lemon and lime. These are great for helping to alkalize your body! Be prepared by always having lots of healthy food ready to grab in those moments when hunger gets the best of you. Be prepared by scheduling workouts like Tuesday night basketball with friends, developing a Sunday afternoon yoga ritual, and going for a walk every night after dinner with the kids.

Finally – remember to be gentle and loving with yourself. That is the basis for all of this. You must learn to love yourself completely in each aspect, and things will fall into place for you.

Because I Love You

I Love You!

When I am having a particularly difficult day and I can’t seem to get out of my own head, I use a special fun technique I’ve developed which quickly gets me into my heart instead.

It all started one day when I was feeling so bad that I started to have those dark nagging ‘what’s the point?’ thoughts. You know what I mean! It was one of those days where you feel like you just want to curl up in bed with a bag of chips and the remote control, because anything else just feels like too much effort. It was one of those days where feeling like a victim wanted to take priority, because nothing else seemed to matter.

I remember dragging my tired sack of bones out of bed to force myself to clean the house a bit. I always felt a little cleaner if my environment was clean. Even that seemed like too much. I was going through a stack of papers when I found a ten pack of greeting cards I had received months earlier after making a donation to an organization collecting for animal rights. I tossed them aside thinking “what a waste!” and continued sorting through paperwork.

After about an hour I was drawn back to the cards. Who would I send them to? What’s the point? No really! Who would I send them to? Giving them to friends as thank you cards? Ugh… that will just cause people to call and invite themselves over and that would be a nightmare! Then I’d have to cook and do dishes and listen to all their problems. I had my own problems. No… there was no point in doing that!

Then it hit me… I could send them to random people. Random… like random acts of kindness! I do like that!! It’d be like little love bombs. Awww, that’s cute.

And then it happened! I started filling out this stack of ten cards with lovely poems, sweet little messages, and mentally put a hug in each card. I signed them all ‘Lovebomb from a stranger!’ and biked around to a couple different neighborhoods poking them in random mailboxes.

By the time I got home the smile on my face was so big that it could not be dimmed. I started to imagine people going out to their mailboxes and getting these cards and having a confused look on their face, and then those sweet faces lighting up with smiles. What if they were having a rotten day too, and this card would light up a few moments in their day? What if it could light up a few days for them? What if they carried the memory of love from a random stranger for years with them?

I realized that I was no longer feeling terrible. Quite the opposite actually!! I felt JOY and LOVE! My what’s the point kinda day had turned into an oh the possibilities kinda day!

I thought about how I wouldn’t get to see these smiles and giggles, and decided that giving with no expectation of receiving anything in return also brought me a great deal of joy! And what about how people say there’s this great life review when you die? Hahahaha I would get to see all those smiles and giggles then!! I wasn’t passing out tiny lovebombs to strangers! I was building up a giant LOVEBOMB for myself!!!

I have played this fun game multiple times since that day, and it always has the same outcome. Pure joy for yourself and days filled with wondering who you helped and what their reaction was. Next time you’re feeling down, try it out!! Go to the store, pick up a pack of greeting cards, fill them out with love and drop them in random mailboxes. It works like magic!! (Just don’t forget to sign that it’s a random act of kindness. It’s counter productive if a crazy girlfriend trips out on her boyfriend! Hehe!)

Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself. Ralph Waldo Emerson said that, and boy did he know his stuff!!
