Family Christmas Advent Calendar - Day 8

"A Christmas candle is a lovely thing, it makes no noice at all, but softly gives itself away"

Baby it’s cold outside today. We really need to bundle up for today’s activity. I wanted to have a day to bless our loved ones and remember all that had past on. So what better place to go then the chapel of votive at “The Saint Joseph Oratory”. 



We left our home and got there around 11ish. We started to walk around and notice that a lot has changed in the past couple of months. They’ve done a lot of renovating to The Oratory. It’s so magical there, every time I go I seem to discover something new that I never noticed before. I learned that in the summer the have gardens that you can walk around in. They have some view that are absolutely magical. And just the appearance of the building is welcoming. 

So as we started to make are way down stairs to light candle. We went threw some doors, but on the other side of the doorway a man was standing there. He was smiling at me with joy and kindness. At first I wondered how strange, but the more I though about it I realized he probably goes there often and doesn’t see people my age at the Oratory. After lighting all our candles there’s a section where you can right you intention on a paper. Then that piece of paper with the intention get drop in a glass box. And in spirit that piece of paper is read by Saint Joseph and gets granted. Then it was time to head back to the car to go home. As we started to make are way back upstairs, I notice a picture on the wall that resemble that man that had just smiled at me hanging on the wall. I’m not sure it was the same man, but I could believe it was.


Today was spiritual and warm-hearted to me. If you can remember a time you had those feelings, I would love to hear about it in the comments below. 



Peace, Love & Joy

Smudging Ritual

Over the weekend my family and I were invited to my cousins, for a house warming party. As I started talking to my mom about what to get her, a Smudging Kit came to mind. Sacred Smoke Bowl Blessing commonly known today as Smudging. It’s a powerful spiritual cleansing technique to purify any space or a brand new home. I had so much fun creating the Smudging Kit. I wanted to share it with you so you can make your own or for family and friend. The kit has all the essential needed smudge stick, small bowl, lighter, candle, feather bundle, and a couple pink quartz to spread the love.  I got excited and started to do some research, I want to know when saging first started, what were the benefits, how often should it be done, where can you buy it and so many more questions. I say that it all started with the Native American to bless an area using sage, flowers and other herbs to clear any unwanted negative energy. This Ceremonial Tradition helps any space feel free of negativ...

The Universal Laws

The Universal Laws This past week I really got interested in learning more about the laws of the universe. When I googled it some said there were 12 others said there were 7. These laws are happening naturally if we understand them or not. Even when we don't understand the connection to any obstacles we encounter in our daily life. By not living in the awareness of these laws. you may feel frustrated, confused and lost about your life's purpose. You may feel everything is going wrong for you, no matter what you do, how you act or how much you plan. Things keep going totally wrong. When people start to live their lives with the awareness of the laws of the universe. Begin to feel better, more productive, confident and feeling everything beginning to go their way. If you start to apply these universal laws you will notice a huge difference in the way you feel. So by practicing each of these laws there is such an advantage for personal word.  I'm sure you just want ...

21x21 Manifestation Challenge

A couple of week ago I saw a manifestation challenge that I’ve never hear or seen before. It’s called the 5x55 manifestation challenge. When I first found the video on YouTube I was in the Dominican Republic, so I decided when I got back home I would start it.  Basically the 5x55 Manifestation Challenge goes something like this. You decide on something you want to manifest. It could be anything from wanting a new car to getting someone to call. Honestly it could be anything your wonderful heart desires. So once you know what you want to manifest, you put it in a sentence “I’m so happy and grateful to be driving my brand new car” for example. Once you have you sentence you need to write it out 55 times for 5 days. It’s that simple. To be honest my hand hurt but by letting go of that pain, trusting and believing that what your writing will come. Makes all the pain worth it and fade away.   Since you get the idea. I want to share a similar challenge I will be doing for t...
