I’m deserving and so are you

Happy Friday,

How is everyone doing on this amazing Friday afternoon? I know most of us are finishing up our last work day for the week, so then, we are officially entering another weekend here in 2024. It’s the last weekend of September and the first full weekend of fall. Time to decorate for Halloween or fall whichever if either you all decorate for. Shoot me a text or drop me a comment and let me know if you’ll be decorating for either this year.

I’ll be decorating for Halloween and fall combined. Once I begin I’ll share photos of the progress I’m making. I’m excited to begin decorating again. My all time favorite time of year to decorate for is fall. While I love Christmas and everything, there’s just something amazing about fall. All the colors and pumpkin spices, the beginning of fireplace season. Oh I love me some fall weather, sweatshirts and cozy lounge pants and of course, my hot tea and slippers.

What’s your favorite time of year to decorate for? You know I’d love to know. Send me some photos, I love being inspired.

Today I wanted to chat about being worthy and deserving. I’ve been on a journey for the last 8+ years and one thing that I’ve come to realize is I doubt my worth. I work towards my dreams. I write about the things I want to accomplish and the different steps I’ll take to getting there and yet, I still doubt myself. I don’t doubt I can accomplish certain things, but I doubt if I’m deserving of certain things.

I will often find myself wondering if certain things happen because of mistakes I’ve made in life. I think occasionally I’m not worthy of success. While I’m not blaming my upbringing, it is part of the reason I’ve developed this type of mind set.

I love a comment I recently heard, “how long are you going to keep blaming your parents or certain life circumstances for your failures in life?”

How true that is. We, or I can either decide to live in the mindset of blaming me not feeling worthy or deserving on my mother for making me feel that way, or, I can say sure, she didn’t make me feel worthy BUT I’m a grown adult now so I get to decide how I feel and what I believe.

“You are worthy of life abundant with joy, love and gratitude. You deserve to be cherished and valued for who you are and to experience the beauty and wonder that life has to offer.”-unknown.

You my dear friend are deserving of having abundance in your life. You are deserving of being cherished and valued and so am I. We all need to remind ourselves when we look in the mirror each morning of how valuable we are. We need to start by believing in ourselves. We can then remind ourselves when we look in the mirror by saying, “I’m deserving of a life where I’m healthy and thriving.”

“True abundance isn’t based on our net worth, it’s based on our self-worth.”-Gabrielle Bernstein.

I believe if we start by giving ourselves self-worth, we will attract those into our lives who not only know our worth, but know theirs too. It’s the law of attraction. We attract into our lives what we believe.

“Being in an inner state of abundance means that you feel plentiful now, that you have trust for life, and that you have faith that more is coming in.”-Kimberly Snyder.

What is inner abundance? “Beyond our physical self exists a being of infinite power, love and energy. Abundance is essentially a clear, rich flow of energy, love, trust, gratitude and openness to receiving that is sourced from this level of our being.”-aspiremag.net.

When we are in this inner state of abundance and we have this flow of energy, love, trust, gratitude and openness to receive, we need to realize and remember that “abundance is like a fountain of natural energy flow that exists within everyone. To cultivate inner abundance we need clearing our blocks to this natural flow from within. We need to address the energetic, mental and emotional patterns and paradigms that are literally clogging up our abundance flow so that we can connect the natural unlimited abundance that exists within and around us.”-aspiremag.net.

How do we accomplish this? How do we get rid of all the thoughts and gunk clogging up our abundance flow? We can start with having no doubt that we are worthy of a healthy and thriving life. Being worthy is not for a selected group, crowd or individual. We were all created in Gods image, therefore, we are all sons and daughter of Him. Equal in worth. Equal in value and equal in being fulfilled.

“Never let a day pass without looking for the good. Feeling the good within you. Praising, appreciating, blessing and being grateful. Make it your life commitment and you will stand in utter awe of what happens in your life.”-Rhonda Byrne

My dear readers, getting rid of those negative mindsets that so many of us have is not easy. In fact, it’s probably easier to believe the negative over the positive because it’s become so much a part of who we’ve believed we are or what we believe we’re worth. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for a change and I’m ready to embrace my life of abundance.

Let’s rid ourselves of the thoughts where we don’t think we’re worthy and instead, embrace knowing we are worthy.

I have the perfect home for me. I love John and our kids. I love lake life and I have an abundance of wonderfulness that surrounds my life. I also have dreams and hopes and I know I deserve to have my dreams come true if it’s His will and if some of the things I dream about don’t come true I know He has a better plan in place for me.

I am hereby placing my negative thoughts aside. I’m embracing each and every day. I will do my extreme best to not allow negative thoughts to creep in and I will remind myself over and over and over again, there is either a lesson or a positive in every situation I come across each and every day.

I am deserving to have a life of health and abundance and so are you.

Well my dear friends, I need to get some work done around the house because I’m hosting a dinner for a friend who is moving to Wala Wala Washington next week.

Thank you for stopping by and reading and I do hope you have the best day ever.

Until next time, don’t forget, Love Life++ Hugs.

A glimpse into my book:

As I write this part of my journey, I am reminded of those feelings of being a terrified teenager, being surrounded by people I didn’t know and marrying a man that I had just met two and a half months ago. What was I doing? I didn’t know how to fix this mess I created. I didn’t want to marry this person. He was quickly becoming a person I didn’t know anymore, then again, what am I talking about, I never really knew him anyway.
