The other morning I was in my hot tub watching the sunrise. It had stopped raining and I was thinking about rainbows. I often see one in the morning behind my home.
As the sun hit the bamboo plant I noticed small drops of water at the tip of the leaves. As I starred at the water drops I saw a tiny rainbow. A beautiful, glistening rainbow in a drop of rain. I was so happy and it reminded of life as a whole.
So often in life we miss the magic and the wonder of life. We are so busy thinking about life we don’t actually live life. Had I gone on thinking about rainbows I would have missed that absolutely beautiful miniature rainbow. I will never look at my bamboo plant or raindrops the same way.
Happiness, joy and success are mater of perspective
With a simple change of perspective our choices and what we create in our lives changes exponentially.
Love expands, fear contracts. Just as rainbows come in all different sizes so does our success and happiness. Today practice looking for the magic in even the smallest events in your life.
Practice seeing the world through the eyes of love. See what you see when you do that. I assure you that is your key to freedom and success beyond your wildest imaginings.
I recently ran across this quote:
Miracles are nature unimpeded.
Jane Roberts
When we get out of the way miracles become a normal everyday occurrence.
When I first started my journey in the 80’s I made a box that I called my box of creation. I decorated it with beautiful pictures, expansive images, angels and positive affirmations. When I needed or wanted something I would put it in the box knowing a solution far beyond my most expansive thinking would occur and then I would let it go. To the best of my ability I wouldn’t give it a single thought.
It was a symbolic way for me to stop impeding nature. You can make a box or just change your perspective and the way you think about life. As I embrace the wisdom recently shared with me by bohiLIA I have more and more miracles each day. Let easy and effortless become your motto.
I’d love to see you thoughts, comments and if you have any questions in the comment section below. Have an amazing day full of smiles, love, magic and miracles!
With love and aloha,

We love your story about rainbows & the Creation Box. A master caution/red flag on hot tub use. CBC showed a documentary re:people never recovering from using using a shipboard/community hot tub.-Roy & lil
How silly … fear stops from enjoying so much. One of the 4 agreements is Don’t make assumptions – I was in my own hot tub on my lanai in Hawaii. My red prayer flag reads LOVE.
With love, Susan
Been in a hot tub hundreds of times. Had I been afraid i would never have experienced much joy! Death will get us all sometime, some way!
Life is a fatal disease that is best savored in the moment!!

From a young age I have always been aware of the beauty of nature. Growing up in the Netherlands in the 1940’s and 50’s I was enthralled with the beauty of ice crystals on windows, the icicles on guttering and tree branches – and yes the rainbows created by the sun peeping through the clouds, often reflected in puddles of icy water!! The beauty of the different seasons, the colours, the skeletal beauty of the trees without leaves. Oh I could go on forever. And what is most wondrous of all, I have helped make my grandchildren aware of the beauty that surrounds us at all times, and now they never cease to amaze me of what they see and I have missed !!!
Thank you for sharing the story of your “box of creation”. What a wonderful idea – it resonates much more with me than a vision board. This could be a wonderful project to do with my daughter and grand children.
I too loved ice crystals on the windows. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
With aloha, Susan
very beautiful messages here, susan, thanks, loved the different sizes of the rainbows, noticing the littel things and the wonder of miracles
