Recently I was thinking how fortunate I am that I had an Angel in my life who planted seeds of love for humanity when I was only a small child. I feel a deep sense of gratitude for my oldest sister Maria Angela who became my mother after I lost my birth mother when I was only 6 years old. She did not live with us because she was married and had her own family. However she was always attentive to our needs and was an extraordinary role model.

On weekends she would take my siblings and me to the park or to an ice cream parlor. In many occasions when we went shopping she would either buy food for poor children or go into a store with them to buy them shoes or clothes. I saw her doing this many times. I know that she planted a seed in my heart and it is amazing how I am now involved with the project in Ghana to build a self-sustainable home for 100 orphaned children. She thought me the power of love, compassion, generosity and caring for others.

I not only witnessed how my sister helped people on the streets, she was also very well known for her benevolent work with people she worked with. She had an executive position and throughout the years, she empowered and supported hundreds of people who worked under her leadership to get their college education, maybe a new home, a new promotion and more out of life. She inspired them to do better and to excel. They listened to her because they knew she really cared. Another seed was planted in my heart, to care for people from all economical backgrounds.

I have witnessed innumerable miracles as a result of my sister’s spirit of giving. Giving is wining. You definitely win when you give. Her life has been highly blessed. Her family and the people in her life have been touched by her love, generosity and kindness. The seeds that she planted in my heart arenow impacting the children from another continent, Africa. This is true winning!

I invite you to give without attachment, generously and joyously and get ready to witness the flow of abundant blessings coming into your life. Enjoy your giving!

Affirmation: I give generously and joyously

Recently I was reflecting over the meaning of this powerful truth and I realized that it does not place any restrictions on how much we can ask for, neither it requires that we know how it is going to be given to us.

The asking is up to us and the being given is up to our giver, our Creator. This is such a simple principle, and at the same time, a powerful promise. It is so simple that it is easy to tend to not believe that it is possible to ask for anything we desire and to be able to receive it. This is where we have an invitation to increase our faith, the required quality to manifest anything we want.“Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. “Hebrews 11:1

“It’s given” is an invitation to let go and let God handle the “How” it is going to happen. As we make a decision about what we want and place the order with the Universe, our Creator rushes to fulfill it according to our faith. This is why is so important to remember that the only restrictions are those that are imposed by ourselves in our mind.

Ask and it’s given is an invitation to believe that you can have anything you want to be, do or have and it is up to you to let go of the doubt and trust. Decree what you want to manifest in your life through the power of:

Your Thoughts. Positive thoughts produce positive results. Mentally affirm your desires like they are already a reality.

Your Words. Speak only words that are going to bring about the manifestation of your dreams. Proverbs 18:21 says, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.”

Your Feelings. Align yourself with your heart’s desires by assuming the feeling of your wish already fulfilled.

I invite you to give yourself the gift to go for your dreams small or big, knowing that anything you ask in faith is always answered.

Affirm: I ask in faith and it’s given abundantly

I just came back from a magical trip in Ghana, Africa. A couple of Board Members of our non-profit organization, Glorious Being Center visited an orphanage in Ghana, Africa. For two full weeks we worked on planning and developing our project to build a residence for 100 children based on the self-sustainable system called “permaculture.”

Months before our trip we had placed an order with the universe (God), to receive 10+ acres of land donated to build the home for the children.

Through a series of divine synchronicities, we met Gracious Legacy, an expert in organic farming and invited him on an 11 hour trip, by car, to a region of Ghana called Techiman. There we met Paul Yeboah, the Director of the Permaculture Institute in Ghana, Africa. We asked Paul to support our project and help with the permaculture design of the land once we acquired it. He agreed to support us because he realized  that we had come all the way from United States and we were serious people.

He not only agreed to create the design of the land but also to train our new friend Gracious Legacy, who went back for a two-week full training. He is now a Certified Permaculture Designer and our new Permaculture Manager.
