I have just discovered a wonderful online radio station One Vibration Radio onevibrationradio.org The music is all positive from many cultures & religions. Very easy to listen to as it is all about peace & love. There are also links to the artists and if you need prayer or help with positive confessions there is a prayer ministry as well.

Greetings Friends:
Just after I left my first husband a casual friend asked me to stay over at her house on the weekend & attend a numerology party on the Sunday. I knew it was a charity thing to keep me occupied so I wasn’t thinking about my current situation, but whatever.
Before I go on I want to say it is not my intention to disrespect numerology. I don’t have a lot of knowledge about it. There is a bookmark with the number 14 on it (I was born on February 14) at Avalon Visions & it just slays me every time I see it because it is so bang on me. I have never read about numerology nor had my numbers done.
At this party the numerologist set up on the balcony. One at a time the ladies had their turn visiting with her. They would come back into the apartment all excited because their good thing was going to happen in X amount of time (2 months, 6 months, 2 years). Some of them were kind of disappointed as they were hoping their good thing would happen earlier. This boggled my mind. If you want a good thing to happen you make it happen. My marriage wasn’t working despite counseling therefore I left & made my own good thing. When I am very upset I cry & write in my journal until I can put the current situation into perspective. I was explaining these things to some of the ladies but they didn’t seem to comprehend. That’s ok we are all at different levels.
I read a little booklet by Norman Vincent Peale a couple of days ago, ‘Expect a Miracle-Make Miracles Happen’. It brought tears to my eyes because it excited me so much.
So here it is again. Have goals, make them happen, think positive, expect miracles.
P.S. Life is good. I can’t remember the last time I cried & wrote in my journal.
Blessings,
Diana
Good Morning Friends:
So sorry for not having written in so long. Life is just so busy. I feel rushed all the time & I know that is just increasing how much I am rushed. I need to find peace in the busyness because then I will get more accomplished. I am working lots now with a housekeeping client every afternoon & a secretarial client some evenings. Thank God for the extra work.
I have so many things to write to you but by the time I am free in the evening I really don’t feel like writing. Some of them make it to paper when I’m out & about but don’t always get off the page to the computer. (Dear God I’d really love to have a laptop & P.S. an mp3 player as mine died this morning).
Below is a great article on prayer by Dr. John Demartini.

The Law of Prayer
Dear Friends,
For centuries, mankind has lived with prayer. When most people think of prayer, they think of asking for help from a Higher Source, to aid them in the traumas or tragedies or anxious circumstances of their lives. That is great, and who could be against that form of prayer! Other people get inspired and elated with things, and they say, "Oh! Thank You! Thank You, God! Thank You, Universe! Thank You!" Their prayer is one of elation. Commonly, the masses pray when they are really happy or really sad.
The secret and the power of true prayer is to pray, not when you are elated or depressed, but when you are in your heart. You are poised and centered and grateful. You are in God's Presence, not asking God to change this situation or fix that person, but grateful for all that is, as it is. This is the highest of prayers. The highest of prayers acknowledges the order of the universe, rather than denying it! Instead of sitting before the Order of the Universe and thinking, Oh, I wish it would change! The truest of prayers reverences its perfection. True prayer embraces what is! It was Leibniz who said that there is a Divine Order, a Divine Perfection, and a Divine Magnificence! When I read that when I was eighteen years old, I got tears of inspiration in my eyes. I still do. I thought Somehow I know. This is the Truth.
Today, ever inspired by Leibniz, I say there is a Divine Order, a Divine Perfection, and a Divine Magnificence! There is something to be grateful for! The highest prayer, the most powerful prayer, is a prayer of gratitude! Not a prayer of "I need a change in." but a prayer of thankfulness for what is! As it is! The ability to say thank you every day for what you have been given, the opportunities to share and serve, for all of the people who come into your life, and for all of your experiences-this is the highest of prayers.
The power of prayer and the Law of Prayer are the willingness to see this magnificence with eyes of gratitude and say "Thank You." Do not waste your time waiting until you are down; do not wait until you are elated. On a daily basis, be centered, focused, and in love, through this highest of prayers. The Power of Prayer is truly an act of love and grace.
"If the only prayer you said in your whole life was "thank you", that would suffice."
---- Meister Eckhart
