Intention for Today: Realization

Today Realization is the intention for the day.

Realise what you need to change. Understand that the old habits and the past are of now use if they do not bring you to realise your dreams. If you are trapped in the cycle of habit that keeps you down, let go of it. Set the intention to let go of it. Release that which you no longer need.

Thank you Realization for bringing to our awarness what we need to release.

Intention for Today: Embrace

Embrace is the Intention for Today.

Today let us embrace our gifts. Let us share them passionately. Today, let no doubt or fear come in your way. Embrace the moment. Embrace the possibilities. Embrace love and embrace life. Embrace yourself as you realise that all is well. You are following your path.

Thank you Embrace for embracing us with open arms.

Intention for Today: Ask and it is Given

Today's intention is to remember that when We Ask, It Is Given.

Let us ask the universe what we need to know. And let us remember that it is a given already. We just need to allow and let it happen. So let us release all doubts. Let us let go of that which is not serving us, making room for what helps us live in alignment with our highest self.

Thank you for this reminder that when We Ask, It Is given.

The Universe is made up of stories, not atoms.-Muriel Rukseyer

Here is a heart-warming story for you.

Last week, there were two days of rain and snow. The neighborhood cat we were feeding was totally drenched. Door to our home opened for him. He could now dry off and warm up. Though he knew us, he had not spent time inside our home yet. Cautious and curious, this cat made himself at home for the night.

This cat, we had learnt from the neighbors, is called Orlando, after the city in Florida. He is beautiful and all black. When the afternoon light shines on him, one can see a glistening silvery fur lacing the outline of his body. He is graceful and reverential. He carries himself with dignity that extends far beyond his being feline. His eyes are lime green, and when he looks at you, you know he is looking at your spirit. That's his glance to me.

For the next few days, Orlando spent more and more time with us. Gradually, he started expressing his gratitude in his adorable ways. He started sleeping in the same room as us. Then, he moved closer and closer to us in the room. At first, we could caress his head for a couple of minutes. Now, he wanted extended love. We often work sitting on the floor with laptops on our laps and Orlando would come lay near our legs. He would nudge his little head softly against our head when we leaned close to him. On two occasions, he even came and sat on my lap for a few minutes. He melted our already melted hearts.

Orlando was clearly in the process of adopting us. He seems to have liked being around us. And in my heart there was room for a four-legged cutie! It was not long before Orlando made his way into my and might I add, Cristof's heart. On Sunday, after four days of Orlando coming "home" to us, we decided to "officially" give Orlando our heart and our home. Just some hours ago, we completed an informal ritual of handing the baton from Orlando's previous human friend to us as the next stewards of this magnificent Feline, a moving event for all involved.

So, we are now the happy and delighted friends of a marvellous, black cat, following on the footsteps of what the ancient Egyptians have done thousands of years ago. Revering the presence of this being and indulging in its beauty and grace.

May this story bring even more warmth to you in these winter days. 

Greetings and Love

Sophia

PS: This photo was taken in spring of this year on the Island of Sardinia, home of cats galore! It is divine synchronicity that this postcard was scheduled for this month! (I designed it back in November and now a cat has been manifested into my life in December!) 

Intention for Today: Imagination

Imagination is being called on as our Intention for the day.

May creative energy flow unboundedly today. Let imagination and its limitless layers and facets seep through every cell of our being and express itself outwardly in transformative ways. Vibrantly and luminescently, may it take form around us today.

Thank you Imagination for your glorious presence.

Intention for Today: Wonder

I intend Wonder to fill our lives today.

Awe. Wonder. Delight. Excitement. Laughter. Sparkling eyes filled with welcome surprise. Bristles of grass glowing in the afternoon sun. Whispers of the wind serenading through the streets. An avalanche of cloud gracing the expansive sky. Arrival of new love bringing even more tenderness into the home. Soft snow with angel wings.
Shimmering light adorn the trees.

May wonder fill your life today. 

With much gratitude to Wonder as you make our lives Wonder-ful!

Intention for Today: Community

Community is the intention I am calling for today.

Let us get connected as part of a community. Let us remember that we are all one. The Golden Rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Or: Want for the other more than what you want for yourself. Let us celebrate our oneness and our unity. Let us celebrate our differences and let those differences expand our horizons and enrich our lives.

Thank you Community for creating harmony.

Intention for Today: Spontaneity

Spontaneous Spontaneity is the intention for today.

Just do something new and different today. Take a different path to your work. Walk on the other side of the road. Welcome spontaneity. Treat yourself out of the blue. Surprise someone with flowers just like that. Do something spontaneous today.

Thank you Spontaneity for bringing us out of routine.

Intention for Today: Dedication

Yes, dedicate yourself today. That is our intention.

What do you want to dedicate yourself to? What is most important for you, for now in the short-term and for the big picture?

Agree on that. Dedicate or in some cases re-dedicate to it, if you have already done it. In other words, if you have committed to something and resistance has shown up, then re-commit and re-dedicate. Every moment is a fresh start. As Eckhart Tolle would say, there is only now, there is only this moment!

Thank you for Dedicating yourself with your complete self.

Intention for Today: Take Charge

Today, Take Charge. That is my intention.

Take charge today of what has been postponed, ignored, neglected. Taking charge today of that which is important but not really urgent. Take charge today of that which you are running away from, for whatever reasons. Rake away the leaves of fear and doubt that is covering up your being.

Know that you are given only what you are ready for. And so, you are ready for anything that comes your way! Charge on, step-up, acccccccelerate!

Thank you for Taking Charge in alignment with your highest vision for yourself.

Intention for Today: Direction

Today Direction is the intention.

Intend to move in the direction of your choice. Become aware of your internal compass and where it is pointing to. See if you can identify where you are now and then take the first steps in the direction you want. Checking the compass regularly is essential to stay on track.

Intend, Believe, Move. Keeping moving, keep moving, the next turn is just around the corner. So keep moving. Keep moving. Moving on.

Thank you Direction for showing us where to head.

Intention for Today: Completion

Today the intention is Completion.

Become aware of what needs to happen for a sense of completion today. Take steps towards that. When you know that it is unrealistic that it can happen today because it simply needs more time, just allow yourself to visualise how it looks, feels, sounds like when "it" is completed. What this "it" is depends on what you want, what you are working on.

Thank you Completion for giving us a sense of completeness.

Intention for Today: Follow Through

Today the intention is to Follow Through.

Today is the day to follow through on your intuition, to do what the voice guides you to do. Take the steps. Leave fear behind. Let the doubts dissolve. Imagine that everything you do today is what you were meant to do. The universe is taking great care of you. You are guided and led even without you consciously knowing it. Become filled with joy at that realization and just be at ease. All you need to do is follow through. Follow through!

Thank you for Following Through on your deepest desires.

To fly as fast as thought, you must begin by knowing that you have already arrived. -Richard Bach

Intention for Today: Trust

Trust is the intention for today.

Trust in the universal signals. When you are following your inner voice, trust that all is well. As you take new bold steps, trust that it is exactly what you need to do right now. Trust that you are ready. Trust that this is the right time. Let the ease flow within you as your trust yourself even more.

Thank you Trust for showing us your TRUe STrength.

Intention for Today: Get Clear

Today the intention is Get Clear.

One powerful dose of clarity today! Let's become crystal clear. Let us dissolve the fuzziness, let us walk out through the clouds, let us see things as if it is translucent. It is all here for us. Let us open up with our hearts and minds to listen and to get the answers.

Thank you Clarity for getting us clear.

Intention for Today: Regrouping

Today's intention is Regrouping.

Regrouping means to reorganize, to arrange with a fresh start. Today, let us regroup. Let's get ourselves together, rearrange our priorities, buckle up and get set for the next phase. Refresh, rejuvenate, renew.

Thank you Regrouping for a fresh start.

Intention for Today: Action

Action is the intention for today.

Whatever it is that you love to do, whatever your dream may be, today, take action. Even if it is one tiny tiny step, just do it. Infact, select something manageable in an hour or two, towards your dream or your goal or your vision for your life. Do one thing. Just take action. See how this one action frees you from any thing that is holding you down.

If it is about writing, write one paragraph. If it is staying in touch with people, write one email or make one phone call. If it is about staying healthy, go for a short walk or choose one entirely healthy meal. If it is about getting your life organised, then organise one little corner or if it has to do with e-files, select one folder to organise.

You get the idea! Today, just do something...One thing, towards what is most important to you.

Thank you Action for moving us to live our dream.

Intention for Today: Stealth

Today's intention is Stealth.

Let our stealth emerge today. Let us focus on all our strong points. Becoming aware each moment of all that is well, functioning and in abundance. Let us begin to recognize the beautiful determination and sense of purpose that rests within us. Let us be full of life. Let us become Stealth and Strength in all ways possible. Let this be our gift to the world today.

Thank you Stealth for showing us our strengths.

Intention for Today: Tiger

Tiger is the intention for today.

Today let us embody the spirit of the tiger. The stealth, the grace, the confidence of the big cat can flow into your being. Contemplate on its majestic magnificence. The tiger can be tender and warm as well as fierce and fearless. Let these beautiful qualities emerge within you. They are in within you. Welcome the tiger into your life.

Thank you Tiger for sharing with us your virtues.
