Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:  I face my challenges with calm and strength.

Challenges are a part of life, whether we like it or not. Some challenges seem insurmountable, and others are more like speed bumps in the road of life. Many people thrive on the adrenaline of challenges, and some of us see them, as Wyatt Webb describes them, as "Another Frigging Growth Experience". 

But no matter the size or magnitude of the challenges, we have the choice of how we face them. We can do so with panic, anxiety, and fear, or we can face them with calm, faith, strength, and even with a sense of humor. 

There are no insurmountable challenges -- they only may appear to be so until we're on the other side of them. Challenges are just a way for us to stretch the muscles of our mind, our faith, our talents, our imagination and creativity. When faced with challenges, we must breathe deeply and fill ourselves with inspiration and then proceed intuitively, with calm and strength, to discover the solution.

Ascension Cards: Accelerate Your Journey to the Light
by Diana Cooper

cover art for: Ascension Cards: Accelerate Your Journey to the Light by Diana CooperThese beautiful ascension cards are designed to assist those seeking to start on a personal ascension path or to accelerate journeys to the light. Each of the 52 color cards offers a description of a specific ascension energy or Ascended Master, guidance on its use, and an affirmation to assist with assimilation of the wisdom.

These cards may be employed in a variety of ways — such as a daily source of guidance and inspiration, a point of study for a group discussion, a source for determining which areas of an ascension path require the most immediate attention, or as a 52-step study course for ascension. Seekers may choose to work with the cards in order, to select one a week for a year, or to identify one card for intensive study. The accompanying booklet offers broader insight into ascension in general.
