Howdy Folks and Good Day!
Most of us realize what’s really important to us. And if you ask us what we love the most, we’ll
be able to tell you. We can also tell
you what scares the bejeebers out of us. But we rarely associate what we love with
what we fear.
Love and fear appear to be on opposite sides of the spectrum, yet any parent can relate to the tremendous fear which goes along with parenting the child they love so much. Love and fear certainly are not the same, but we do fear losing what we love! (That’s also why many folks often confuse worrying with loving.)
Think about what really matters to you… those you love, having a safe and secure home to live in, being able to survive in a healthy and happy atmosphere… Now think of how you’d feel if those things were threatened. Whoa! Stand back! We’re not going down without a fight when it comes to protecting what we care about!
Recognizing what we love the most is also where our greatest fears lay, our Ego (otherwise known as the lower self, shadow side, or fearful thinking) knows just which buttons to push. And very often, we unconsciously carry so much fear around what we desire and love, that we sabotage our best efforts!
Take the example of a parent who bears down on their child trying to protect them from the world so the child remains safe and the parent doesn’t “lose” them to negative influences. The child often rebels and leaves home at the earliest possible age, or upon entering the real world on their own is so unprepared they are taken advantage of.
Another instance of our fear sabotaging what we love and desire most came from a good friend of mine... He is the youngest of many siblings in a large family who love and respect one another. Although they all have varying views on most things, they don’t let their differences get in the way of their family ties. Recently my friend began studying new spiritual principles and learning healing techniques. It turns out he is very gifted in this area and has already helped several people. Yet my friend was afraid to tell his family — especially his brothers — about his new endeavors. He even had dreams that he did and was rejected by one of his brothers! When asked if he had ever been rejected by his siblings before in real life, he had to honestly reply no. Why was he so afraid now?
My friend’s new-found gift is part of his life’s purpose. His love of his family and desire to be a part of them and accepted by them is very strong. Ego knows that what we love and brings us closer to our highest self, God, and happiness is what we fear losing the most. So my friend’s ego knew if enough fear was brought to the surface around his new gift and tied in with being rejected by his family, he would want to back away from the gift and wouldn’t be open with his family about it. Fear can be very powerful!
Upon discussing this, my friend could see what was happening. Because his passion was so strong for both his spirituality and healing abilities and being accepted by his family, fear was trying to sabotage both! There was no tangible evidence or behavior patterns in my friend’s family that would lead him to believe sharing his new interests would lead them to reject him. But Ego will create all sorts of exaggerated scenarios. This is when we need to recognize we are in a state of F.E.A.R or False Evidence Appearing Real.
When we understand our greatest fears often stem from our greatest
love, we begin to recognize when we are sabotaging ourselves and can step back
to see what’s really going on.
In the case of my friend, coming from a place of love he knows his family loves, accepts, and respects him. No matter what.
They may be unfamiliar with what he’s learning, but it wouldn’t be the first time. He’s been a pioneer in many ways, stepping out of the mold, trying new things, and being true to his soul’s calling. And he has succeeded – with the love and support of his family.
Yet each time, the fears arise. And each time when my friend does share with his family, they ask questions, learn what they can and come to respect him for who he is and what he is doing. In fact, many have later turned to him for consultation around his endeavors!
It’s a good idea to step back and look at what we love and desire the most in life. What fears do we have around them?
Are we afraid of losing what/who we love? Are we afraid of not being good enough or that we don’t deserve them? Are we afraid of being hurt? How are we allowing these fears to sabotage our relationships with our heart’s truest desires? How would things be different if we weren’t afraid and could approach things from a place of absolute love and knowing?
Today, ask God to remove fear from your heart and mind, especially
around those you love and what you desire most in life.
With Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Prosperity…

What
is Soul Magic?
Have you experienced coincidences, God incidents, or synchronicity? Or looked at something and were overcome with its beauty or loveliness? Have you ever been awash in gratitude or had one of those “a-ha!” moments?
Then you’ve experienced Soul Magic! Big or small, Soul Magic moments are those moments that touch our soul and feel almost magical.
Sometimes it’s hard to put our finger on what makes them special because it’s more of a feeling than the event itself. That doesn’t make it any less real! We’d like you to join us in paying attention to the Soul Magic and every day miracles in your life. Acknowledge them. Write them down. And then send them in to SFPNN.
As the editor of SFPNN, I would like to personally invite you to share your Soul Magic experiences with us.
You don't have to be a professional writer, just talk into the page and tell us your story! E-mail: SOUL MAGIC

Insights…Inspired thoughts…Flashes of helpful and joy-filled moments… Do you know how to experience them? Better yet how can you utilize these experiences in your everyday life? Would you like to experience MORE?
An “Intuitive Insight” is an experience or moment that when recognized and acted upon helps you get ahead, allowing you not only to create inner peace but also to transform your life on a cellular level so you are capable of being, doing, and having all that belongs to you.
Know if you are craving something in life it does belong to you. Understanding how you make it happen is something else.
Imagine you are walking down the street and all of a sudden you hear a voice speak to you. What was that and where did it come from? You wonder for a moment… was this my imagination...? Then all of a sudden you hear it again. What is this? What is it about?
Have you ever had the feeling there might be a strong presence of someone standing next to you, but no one is there? Maybe you are driving down the street and all of a sudden memories come flooding into your mind of past happenings that remind you of a special time or event. Possibly you were feeling down and out and this flash of a positive memory changed your mood.
Maybe a problem is solved for you because out of the blue a thought popped into your head and the answer came through the means of an inspiration that brought the answer.
These are the insights, inspired thoughts and flashes
of helpful and joy-filled moments of your life.

A FISH TALE
Author and Photographer Unknown
to us but greatly appreciated!
A guy who lives at
investigate. It turned out to be a flathead catfish who had obviously tried to swallow a basketball which became stuck in its mouth!
The fish was totally exhausted
from trying to dive, but unable to because the ball would always bring him back
up to the surface.
The guy tried numerous times to get the ball out, but was unsuccessful. He finally had his wife cut the ball in order to deflate it and release the hungry catfish.
You probably won’t believe this, if you don’t see the pictures...

IMAGINE TAKING TIME
Thinking about summer everyone wishes they could take time to do what they would like to do. I am always amazed at people who say they are bored or "I have nothing to do!"
Many of them go shopping; that is the least thing
I would think of on my "Things to do list!" I only shop when I have to... for food, gifts,
holidays, events, office supplies, etc.
This summer I would like to take time away from my
chores, my self imposed grant writing (although when checks come in to the
organizations for $5,000 I am happy, and the hours spent are worthwhile).
"Take time to smell the flowers" is a
common phrase. But, how many of us actually do that, or do we just look at them
out in the garden or on a card? This summer I wish to take time to experience
things… Some old, some new... I want to experience new people places and
things, and to really connect to them.
Imagine experiencing new foods, new ice-cream, new flavors of anything.
Imagine connecting with old friends and making new
ones.
Imagine connecting with nature and really feeling
it in your bones and your inner being.
Imagine connecting with the ocean, watching it,
feeling it, smelling it, enjoying the roar of the
waves, the colors of the water and the reflections of the sky and the sun or
clouds.
Imagine enjoying stillness of some summer days.
Imagine the interruption of the stillness as a
bird chirps with all its glory or as a squirrel scampers in and out of a little
paper bag that blew past in a gentle breeze.
Imagine connecting to your inner spirit, really
connecting to love ones, and growing in the knowledge, love and awesome power
of God.
Imagine how much you are loved.
Imagine it! A picture perfect, awe inspiring, love filled
summer.
Imagine it because "Thoughts are things."
Speak it. Cause "What you say is what you get."
Enjoy it, experience it!
Have a blessed, fun filled, love filled, exploration
filled summer!
