It's our Debut!

This is Affirmation Monday's official debut onto the web, so in honor of our premiere edition, the topic this week is going to be "Newness." What new vision do you have for yourself or your world? What aspect within the depths of your being are you trying to bring into the light? What new idea or concept are you manifesting? Or are you hoping for a new career? A new home? A new relationship? There is no judgment here, so whatever "new" you want to visualize is welcome.

Please remember to list the permalink only. And please, before posting the first time, visit our rules and guidelines link, just to make sure we're all on the same cyber page!

Update: THE FORM BELOW is for your NAME and the URL to your affirmation artwork. Please do not give a general link to your website, but the permalink or hyperlink directly to the page on which you've posted your art-firmation! We've had to delete a few names, due to the fact there was no active link provided in the URL field. You must use both the name and link field to have your link published. Having problems? Contact us for help.

It's our Debut!

I'm so eager to see what others create for Monday! I will be making my own special "AM" blog to post my images, though it won't be ready until next week. Until then, just the direct link will have to do. ;)

I received your link, this morning, from a friend, and have added a page with a photo and a poem. I look forward to participating and to viewing others' contributions.

Best wishes,
Liz

Full of Hope

Sometimes through the winter months

it is so easy to lose sight of hope.

In the gloomy, dark days of winter

when the air is crisp and cold,

I often fall quickly into the land

of my shadows.

Most of life seems difficult,

dreams never seem to be fulfilled.

Doubt and fears walk beside me

and hope seems so far away.

Then one day

the winter passes

and the first flowers of Spring

begin to push through the cold earth

and before long they begin to bloom.

How quickly hope returns to me!

As nature puts on her colors of beauty

and dabs her scent upon the air

hope awakens once again.

Dreams are dreamed once again

and any thing seems possible!

Standing out side I deeply breathe

the sweet smell of Spring into my lungs.

My eyes rejoice as they look upon the beauty

of nature unfolding all around me.

My heart sighs

and knows another winter is now past

and once again beats with the sound of

hope!

I kneel upon the earth and feel the beating

of our Mother’s heart.

I look upon the beauty of the flowers

she covers herself with

and I gently touch each blossom and leaf.

My voice speaks words of gratitude

as beauty fills my Soul

and hope fills my heart.
