MAY 9, 2022 BY JESSICA RIPLEY
For a great deal of my life I didn’t believe that I could have what I wanted, and I didn’t have the courage to ask for it. If you’re at all familiar with me and my work, you’ll know that I believe you can manifest whatever you want.

Inner Journey:
Open to the new
“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”
— Alvin Toffler
How willing are you to learn something new? How open are you to new perspectives?
When we are open, we are willing to move to places we’ve never been before. We are willing to continually review our belief systems so we can test out new ideas.
Be open to seeing things:
- from another’s point of view,
- from a higher and more inclusive perspective
- with a beginner’s attitude of wonder.
“I am always in quest of being open to what the universe will bring me.”
— Jill Bolte Taylor

A Note from the Universe
Logic—while just about worthless in assessing the nature of reality, Cat, is perhaps the finest tool you possess for revealing the path of least resistance between otherwise limiting, invisible, self-sabotaging beliefs.
If you aren’t feeling “it,” intellectually and inspirationally, think again, think again, think again.
Love your brains,
The Universe

Perception
“We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are.”
-The Talmud
We’re each looking through different eyes, bringing our own experiences and emotions to whatever it is we’re looking at. This is perception. Perception can change. The TRUTH remains the same… but do we see it? Do we see spirit in everything and everyone? We must recognize the spirit within ourselves and then we will see it reflected back at us everywhere we go!
