Rosemary's Blessing:

I shall no longer allow

negative thoughts or feelings

to drain me of my energy.

Instead I shall focus on all the

good that is in my life.

I will think it, feel it and speak it.

By doing so I will send out

vibes of positive energy into

the world and I shall be grateful

for all the wonderful things it

will attract into my life.

Positivity Pledge given to me by Sandra Pratt

    Sirach 3:  My child, conduct your affairs with humility, and you will be loved more than a giver of gifts.   Humble yourself the more, the greater you are,  and you will find favor with God.   

    Hebrews 12:  No, you have approached Mount Zion and the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and countless angels in festal gathering, and the assembly of the firstborn enrolled in heaven, …

    Luke 14:  Rather, when you hold a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind; blessed indeed will you be because of their inability to repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
