PAINT is a magical, miraculous substance capable of changing the color of an object. A vast variety of pigments and tints can be added to this liquid substance to create a coating of the desired color and hue. Easily changed or even removed in its liquid state, PAINT becomes fixed when it dries. Metaphysically, PAINT represents the thoughts and energy we project into our world and our experiences. We can PAINT our thoughts or experiences in the color or hue of our choosing. We can choose a color that vibrates with joy and harmony. Or, we can choose a color that constricts or vibrates with fear or anger. Thoughts and energies held for long periods of time become fixed and require one or more coats of a new color, or new thoughts. If I have been holding thoughts of fear or anger for a long period of time, it may require numerous affirmative thoughts to change the picture I have allowed to become fixed in my mind. Today, I paint a miracle. I paint the world with shades of Love, Healing, Acceptance, Forgiveness, Faith and Joy and they become fixed in my mind and in my life.

SMILES. What else needs to be said? A SMILE is a miracle. A simple facial gesture that speaks volumes without uttering a word. It conveys happiness, joy, love, connection, approval, acceptance, delight, recognition and so much more. The SMILE of a sleeping infant warms the heart like nothing else. We watch and wonder what image floats across the mind of this tiny, helpless being that causes it to SMILE. The SMILE of a loved one lets us know they are happy and this brings us joy. The SMILE of a stranger can brighten an otherwise gloomy day. When we SMILE, we project an energy of love, creating a stream of good that lifts us and those around us to a higher vibration. SMILE and make a miracle right now.
