I am surrounded by warmth, love, care, health, abundance, and great revelations. I am worthy and deserving of the best. I am always going to remember that I am connected & okay. My flow is constant & the universe is open for me to explore.  My inner relationship is getting stronger daily, I love who I am more & more. I am creating healthy habits that support my vision.  I am spreading hope by just being me. I am the miracle I am looking to see. I am a magnetic radiant spirit. I already am all that I want to be.  I have faith in humanity, I have faith in myself, I have faith in the future & all that’s happening right now. Everyone I meet sees my value, and they recognize my worth without a single word. I will start to focus on what I want to see more of.
