Dear %$firstname$%,

What about a low-level fear that tragedy may strike and you just don't know when it might happen? Today's I Listen to Spirit Blog addresses this concern: "Fear of Tragedy."

Dear Guides,

Because our world is unpredictable and often tragedy strikes without warning, many of us experience fear in our daily lives. How can we better deal with this fear and what is an alternative way to approach life's scariness?

Here is a little more of the channeling from the longer "Dear Guides" Journal version of the I Listen to Spirit blog, channeled by Minda Bernstein.



"Each soul comes with tendencies, and it is up to you to decide if you will continue to expand and choose new ways to keep growing in the ability to control and manifest your own destiny through choosing the multitude of thoughts which support your happiness and positivity and feelings of success and confidence.

"These will automatically take the place of the fears which can run rampant based on the environment in which you find yourselves on your Earth. There is nothing wrong with being sensitive to that energy. Those who are more sensitive will also be picking it up from all around you, because it is pervasive in the atmosphere all across your Earth.

"That is why it is to your great advantage to embrace the exercises of cultivating happiness, appreciation, gratitude, voicing and underscoring the positive, helping others to create good feelings. All of these ways, whether internal while alone or expressed with others, are so instrumental to your increasing happiness and fulfillment."

Thank you, guides!

    In the studio, several pieces are in process as I'm preparing to give a demo to the Pittsburgh Society of Artists. So I thought I would just show you a detail of the pretty drips on the painting I put in this note two weeks ago, called "Finding My Voice."

    Guess what? Next week is the fifth Thursday of the month. What does that mean? Well, because our Dear Guides Journal is on a four-week monthly cycle, Minda and I decided to make every fifth Thursday our Wildcard week! Who knows what you'll see in here!

    Actually, I know what I'll be putting in, but I don't know what Minda has planned. What I do know is that Minda is writing something special for you, so you will get to "hear" her words for the first time in this Beauty & Spirit Note, instead of just her channeling!

    It's about time, wouldn't you say?

    With love,
    Julie
