Marie T. Russell's Daily Inspiration

The focus for today is:  I acknowledge and give thanks for the air I breathe.

While we can survive for 3 days without water, without air we cannot survive more than 3 minutes -- the exception being deep sea divers who train to extend their range. And, how often do we stop and give thanks for the air that we breathe? I would chance to say "not often". 

For all of its importance for our survival, we tend to take air for granted. Unless the air is tainted with pollutants, or loaded with heavy odors or smoke, we tend to ignore it. Even when the air movement is powerful as in a storm or hurricane, we do not think of it as air but as wind.

Air is essential. Clean air is a blessing. Let's take the time to be thankful for the air we breathe, and also take measures to ensure that the air on the planet remains (or in some cases becomes) clean for generations to come. And, as we breathe out, we can charge our exhale with love and blessings as it goes out into the world.

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.
