Why Monday
Mondays get a bad rap, and it's easy to see why. Aside from the work-thing, there's that whole harsh-reality thing. On the weekend, snuggled into the cocoon of your private life, it's easy to believe the film you watch that says you are capable of anything. It's tempting to delve into the book that reminds you of your true, magical nature. The song that plays on the radio or the conversation you had with your friend lifts you to new heights, and from that vantage point you see clearly that anything is possible, that your thoughts do indeed shape your own reality and that underneath your mild-mannered exterior pulses a wealth of power so vast it could shame the blue tights off superman. (Ladies, have your Polaroids ready!)
But then Monday comes and with it, the annoying co-workers, demanding bosses, anal-retentive managers, suffocating traffic jams, incessant noises, crowded parking lots, blinking billboards, irritated clerks, depressing news reports, and of course the barrage of media constantly shouting "You don't have enough time! You don't have enough health! You don't have enough success! You don't have enough beauty! You don't have enough power!" so you'll go out and buy their product to fix your not-enoughness. Quite frankly it shocks me that, as a society, we don't have more violence, as antagonistic as we are with each other. With ourselves.
To this end, we (Angi and Silas) have decided to create this blog in hopes of reminding ourselves who we really are: extraordinary souls on an ordinary Monday. Let's start the week by remembering how incredible we are, and just what we're capable of creating.
Remember, what you think on grows. So this Monday, we challenge you to think your way into a garden whose blessings fall like blossoms all around you.
I am delighted! Delighted to read your post (its Truth shines), delighted by the notion of Affirmation Monday, delighted to contemplate what I will contribute! Many thanks, Dear Ones!

A thrilling idea. As I have, after many years searching and discovering, realised I am a Lightworker and that my tasks have always been focused in that direction I am so eager to share my experiences and thoughts.

there no such thing as a happy monday in my office considering what my boss thinks of me since he loves calling me stupid and not once.

I love Mondays. I always have. But then again, I am counter culture. Mondays are a fresh start.
I love the beginnings of things and Mondays are a chance to begin again, to start a new.
Try listening to some Carolyn Myss if you are down or
some Marianne Williamson.
Say to yourself when you get down or even when you are feeling great, "There could be a miracle here."
"we are the Angels we have been waiting for."
My life is beautiful and abundant.
Happy Monday.

We each have our scripts that we blindly follow. Hope fully, here we can be reminded that we have a choice.
TC and have a nice life
