(Bringing the positive back into my life)

What is the quality/skill/thing that gains me the attention I get? Can I bottle it? Is it marketable? Can I really be successful if I use it? These are the questions I have recently asked myself. I�ve backed away from a lot of online communities because I have learned that even when I am online I tend to collect people. Not just any people mind you. I collect people from all walks of life going through many different issues. And somehow that healer/councilor in me seems to leak out.

I may have distanced myself from previous communities where I had an experience that resulted in ill energies being thrown in my general direction. I have decided that although it was hurtful and painful to lose some people I cared dearly for. I will not allow this to torment me. I have a gift that was bestowed upon me to make a difference.

So once again I again step foot out into those online communities. Equipped with more experience and wisdom than I had before, I will again make myself available to use my gift.

I have this �ability�, for lack of a better word, to attract. I have that power; I attract people, situations, and a variety of experiences. It just �happens� for me, I do not consciously seek this attention, however, I learn as I respond to these people/situations that there was a reason I needed to know about it or be involved in it. So I have decided that not only do I need to use this ability as the Gods have bestowed it upon me, but I also need to focus that ability and strive to attract the most positive outcome for my life.

The future of my wellbeing is dependent on this. I have the ability to attract the security of a steady job or a solid relationship. I know love and I have experienced it with open arms and taken in all the emotions it can bring. However recently, I had allowed my life to slip and as I have attracted the negative, and so my attitude shall switch and I will attract the positive.

I wish not to sabotage my life, but wish only to make it better. My subconscious should be working together with my conscience for the greatest common goal. I will not allow my doubt rule my subconscious, lest I fall back into the pit of despair to which I hope to never reside in again. I will bring this to fruition. I will make my future a positive living experience. I will achieve my ultimate goal� to make a positive impact on as many lives as possible.

In meditation I sit, tears streaming down my face as I tap into that power given to me by the Goddess. The power that allows her love to flow through me, cleansing my heart of the pain and weakness I have experienced. The power that has freed my soul from the depression that bound it. Finally, again able to spread my wings and rejoin my family as a guardian of the earth and all her creatures.

I will no longer live in self-doubt. I know I�ve made a difference. Regardless of what others have said, regardless of what actions were taken against me. I am powerful today. I have earned the love and respect of many more than those who have shunned me. I have gained love and have let love go. But I will not allow that to hold my spirit back from loving again or loving those released.

I have captured the beauty of life; I can sing with the birds and soar on the winds. I can commune with nature and learn more of the Lady�s will for me. I will allow my voice to be heard on many planes. I will be known for my achievements and not my downfalls. I am a Priestess; I am filled with the power of the earth. I am learned in Gaia�s ways and have followed her teachings to the best of my human abilities.

I will once again tap into my true self. I will allow the nature of my being rule everything I touch. I will delve deep into the ancient powers that flow through my veins. I am a healer and a councilor. I will empower those who feel week without taking their pains as my own. I will lift up the downtrodden without allowing myself to be treaded upon.

For several years now, I have had the glorious opportunity to make footprints on people�s lives. Some were feint but had major impacts on their future; others washed over by selfishness have been buried in the sand. Although I may have only spent a short time with them, I cared for them. I loved them and gave them all I could to make their time in this plane better.

Someday, as the waves of reality come flooding back in to wash away illusions� that small imprint left years ago may resurface and again my heart will be tapped, overflowing with the love that I�ve always held aside for them. Even when they turned on me I will still allow myself to love. I will forgive and live as though that pain had never occurred.

Because in the whole, if I still love then they really didn�t hurt me, they only made me stronger and more willing to persevere. As I step again into the world, refreshed and uplifted from the solitary time I had to spend, I make a difference in my own life first. I renew my spirit through communing with the Goddess; I find better ways to allow my love to bring about change. I make things positive for myself first.

In the course of life I have learned that if I am not content with my current situation all I have to do is change it. So again, I take the lessons that the Gods have taught me, I apply them in my life to empower my spirit. I present to the world a new person, a new spirit, a new power. I carry with me her charged spark of healing and his power to persist. I have embraced it and have allowed it to heal my soul and push me forward.

Today I am a Priestess of light; carrying with me the gift of timeless love. May Gaia work through me today. May her light shine and her spirit bless.
