Heart

There is merit to living with being very raw, very open, very vulnerable.  

Because with that opening comes growth.

The bud broke through and the blossom begins to emerge.

It was painful, I knew it was, I lived in it's pain, but I knew the blossom would emerge so I breathed through it.

<Me crying with such Gratitude right now>

I knew being vulnerable and raw was OK because it is very human and there is always a reason for things in one's life.  I allowed it as part of Life's experience.

Thank you.

I face you today in a new light.  My head is looking forward, my walk is confident, my smile is present, my thoughts are pure.  It's been so long that instantly, I recognize this and I know what Love can do.

Thank you.

As a calm breeze, it came to me...no anger, no fists in the air, no tensity, just calm.

My God, I am ready for this. Thank you.

Assistance

Everyone needs assistance from time to time.

When we get locked into what kind of assistance we need, it causes confusion and disbelief sometimes.

Sometimes the assistance we really need is knowing we are supported by forces unseen but Felt.

It is in this Feeling that we find our greatest calm. The calm that brings us back to our Center.

May each and every One of you today be Blessed with finding your Center when you need it Most.

Don't know where your center is?

It is the thought you get that makes your body relax. Yes, right there.

All you need to do is remember that feeling, that thought.  :-)

Activity

Creativity is imperative for our growth.

Everyone is creative in their own way. 

It is in the process of how we create that we find insight that can be applied to any aspect of our lives. Isn't that fascinating to think about?  I learned that intertwingling wider pieces of ribbon with thinner pieces of ribbon creatives an interesting effect and then I applied this to my life.  There are wide awarenesses intertwingled with narrow, focused awarenesses and what comes out of that is a beautifully crafted cloth with lots of interest.

What are you choosing to weave into your cloth?  What do you need to do to grow?

You don't want to grow?  You don't want to shine more than you are now?

Yes you do!  No matter where you are in life, no matter how much you think you are a master of a craft, there is always room to grow.  A True Master knows the more you learn, the more you have yet to learn.

Why not challenge yourself?  Why not decide to be brighter with your Light? Why not decide to start acting like we're really all in this together and that we need not rush so much?

Life is Now, Life is Here, Life is Connection.  Life is Encouraging.

Glow

The glow of the moon takes a different shape unseen by my eyes, but caught in my digital camera.

The glow of the moon takes a different feeling when the air is cold.

I feel much more alive in the cold, dark of the night. It is the darkness where my eyes are calmed, my gaze dims as I am forced to use my other senses.

Sometimes we need to reset our thoughts, realign our physical with etherical selves.  What, you don't think the etherical is real?  Where do you get thoughts?  Why are some images so powerful you are brought to your knees with gratitude of seeing Truth?  Why are some images you have never experienced in this life available and shown to you?  EVERYONE has had these. If it's not an image, it is a smell, a sound that opens something inside you that floods you with a memory you don't know where it came from, but you feel it's Truth.

All from gazing at the Moon and Stars.

We are more alike than we are different.  :-)

Fire

An interesting thing Fire is.  Yes, it needs fuel to continue. But where does the energy come from just before it engulfs something?  It's that pause you sense just before you see the flames.

The Pause.

It's the point where the energy changes directions or follows a direction.

The point where a spark is present and then it disappears.

The point where energy is collected during the pause to show it's power.

Then the sound begins and the dance changes its course.

What happens in that pause? Fascinating to think about.

The Pause.

Enjoy your pause as it presents itself.  Everyone gets one, just be aware of them to enjoy them when you do get them. They are so full of Life-it is an active form of energy, unlike being passive as one might think.

Wonderment

I have discovered when something happens or occurs with ease, it is the Universe expressing compatibility related to one's journey.

So much conflict happens and it does not need to.  Or maybe it does? Maybe because one feels great conflict, one also realizes when conflict is gone in the split second of an expression.

How can this be?  Why?  Why does there really have to be conflict?  I believe it is to allow us to be hit between the eyes with Truth when there is no conflict.  This is not a violent hit, this is a hit of clear, conscious intention that releases the valve of conflict that has built up.

What a perfect way to express emotion than on a full moon with an impending lunar eclipse!

The moon is so helpful for emotions.  It creates ebbs and flows as the ocean reflects, except it is related to our emotions.

Think I'm smoking something funny?  Ask any hospital what happens on full moons.

Go outside and enjoy the moon, it wants to talk with you about what you're feeling. It wants to listen to what you're feeling.

And on a crisp night, it draws out of you what needs to be drawn out and brought to your attention. This is such a gentle action, this drawing out.  Watch the moon, don't think of anything and you will feel it's pull.

Life is so interesting, isn't it?!  :-)

Message

There is a message waiting for you!  Nature has it for you.  Nature is patient with you, it is unrushed and it is not demanding in this manner.  Go outside and breathe it in. Take in all the air you can through your nose and exhale it through your mouth and watch what happens.  Your body naturally starts to realign itself with your activity of breathing.  Watch it. Observe it. There is no need to control it because it is NATURAL.

There are so many natural things occurring at once. 

What, you can't observe yourself without goofing up the process?  Yes you can!  You do it all the time.

Start somewhere.  Smell a rose, smell some coffee, smell something that makes your body feel good. It is in the instant where you realize your body feels good is where the observer is.  Starting in this practice allows you to sense how you feel, what you're thinking in the instant and how you might be able to associate this smell when you are in a place that doesn't feel good!

Now, the next time you're in a place where it doesn't feel good, observe yourself. Remember the good smell and sense your body relaxing.

Nature is here for Everyone!  Jump in, the water is fine!  :-)

Nature

There is more of Nature than there are buildings to keep us inside.  There is more in Nature than there are televisions and video games.  The sheer vastness of Nature should give us a hint when we need one. Sometimes all we need is a hint and then we take off like wildfire.

The sheer vastness of Nature should be a great resource for us when we need to center again.

The sheer vastness of Nature has so many forces we cannot see, but we can sense and it is there for us to tap into.

What, You don't sense it? You don't feel it?

Next time you think about it, take a look at what is out there!  Go outside, look at the bugs playing in the earth, take a look at the plants and how they grow-always reaching for the Sun...look at the clouds and how they pass so peacefully by.  Doesn't that body of water free your mind when you look at it and see the waves run across it?

Be Careful, you might just see something that makes you laugh out loud or all of a sudden realize you are at Peace and Connected...

Exploration

Feeling overwhelmed and vulnerable, my analytical nature kicked in once again.

It is in the moment of observation where I seem to be calmest and am able to look at my situation, whatever it may be, in many perspectives.

I began to analyze why I was overwhelmed and felt vulnerable.  It was in this moment where I gained insight into how to release overwhelming feelings!

It is that moment where you take a breath in and you don't want to exhale. It's also the moment I had when I realized I was contracting stomach muscles and not wanting to let go.

Why would I want to hold onto overwhelming energy, I asked myself.

So, I let go!  And it dissipated immediately! And as with everything else in my life, if I learn one thing, I can apply to every aspect of my life, so I began to think of things to let go of.

You know, the nagging feeling when you're wanting to make coffee and the filtered water pitcher in the refrigerator is empty enough to not make a full pot?  Well, I recognized me holding onto that feeling and then I decided to let it go!  It worked!  I said to myself, "get a grip girl, just fill the pitcher up with water so you can make a full pot of coffee, there's no need for drama"!  Hmm, my day just got a whole bunch more interesting...

I'm going to explore with this one!  Hope you're having fun today too.  :-)

Laughter

Laughter appears naturally when tension is released.  Sometimes being perceived as laughing about something, it is merely the body expressing relief.

What can you change in your life today to release tension?

Tension requires pulling from both ends.  Releasing one end means the other end can pull even more and WIN. Releasing both ends means the string is released and there is nothing left but BEING.

This is where Great things happen. This is where the possibilities become even more clear and what is left is Brilliance.  This is where You are allowed to be You on your own terms.

I see you smiling right now...  :-)

Power

Do you have the ability to do or act? That is power at a basic level. 

You have the ability to choose how you do something.  

Not sure? Don't know where your power is?  What are you focusing on? It is not selfish to want to act on your own in your appropriate manner. Yes, there are consequences for one's actions, but if executed correctly, there is a clear feeling, something unmuddled with anything else.

Feeling muddled?  It's attention brought to you to shake off that muddled feeling revealing Brilliance.

Brilliance only comes from Light and Vibration levels one has and resonates with.  Change your tuning fork to a higher note and you will be amazed at what is there waiting for you.

Today, I reclaim my Power and I am.

Peaceful serenity

As I enjoyed my warm drink on the front porch of our friend's house, I realized how important it is to be in a peaceful setting to recharge your batteries.

If you don't have an opportunity to experience it on a regular basis, you become depleted.

Nature has a way of renewing your spirit and reconnecting you with who you really are.  You can recreate it for yourself with a walk in the park.  The more natural the setting, the deeper the experience will be for you.

Honor yourself and take time to recharge yourself, no one else can do this for you.

I am Grateful.  :-)

Endeavor

A wise person asked me a question recently.

What are you investing your time in?

Think about it.  Sometimes what you think is a waste of time is truly not.

Connection is important. It is the thing that allows life to flow through us all.

Sometimes we lose connection and it spins out of control to the point where we feel NO connection.

I have been there, Friend.  I'm also here to tell you, you can reconnect. Sometimes you need a friend to assist you with this endeavor.  It's ok to ask for help and assistance.

We're all in this together, get over it and get into it.  :-)

Blue Flame

Watching the fire last night dancing with blue and yellow hypnotized me into a wonder filled state of Peace and Calm.

May this bring you Peace and Calm today as well.

Namaste.  :-)

Signs

How do we verify things we sense?

Sometimes there is no need to verify. Sometimes we sense things as movement in energy. Sometimes it is just that basic. Something that moves us to in a gentle manner to change at first creates a huge change in our life where looking back on the gentle energy makes you realize it was a tsunami when it comes closer to your shore.

Other times we need to verify. The Universe is a flow of information for us. Attention to something requires tuning into the something. Something that is brought to our attention seemingly so insignificant may be the Universe saying, your sensing is correct by this sign.

What is brought to your attention?  Attention requires tuning into Universal information.

You don't think so?

Where do you get new ideas?  Where do you get visions of what could be doing?  Where do you hear things telling you this is a great idea or perhaps this is not a great idea?  Where do you get the feeling in your gut saying this is not a good idea?  You may say this is your body responding from brain activity.

OK. So, Brain activity requires electrical impulses.

Where does the electricity come from?  And in that electrical activity, does it not act as a transmitter and receiver of information flowing around us?  I think so.

I honor you in your belief otherwise because each one of us a unique in our own way, but don't forget, we are much more alike than we are unique and we're all in this together!  :-)

Clear

Being decisive is sometimes a process by which playing with the new idea needs to occur.

By playing with a new idea, one is becoming in tune with how the new idea will work. It's the what-if stage. It's also the stage where one can begin to align themselves with something new and then circumstances arise where the new thing is questioned.  This is all part of the process.

And then there are times when a decision is made that completely causes empowerment. It's fascinating to think about because the liberating feeling one gets from this causes them to instantly walk into the new idea knowing it "feels right".  Yes, feeling it.

What, you can't trust your feelings?

Sometimes I do not. Most of the time I do, only because I have practiced it for so long that I have become accustomed to respecting it. 

When you walk in a room next time, notice how you feel.  Noticing just might begin your journey to something wonder filled.

Check it out.

Trust

Trust is such a basic thing. Filled with emotions and intertwingled with Faith.

What do you Trust about yourself? Are you sure? Some day it will be tested. Some day you will find you have a choice.  Hold onto what you trust or let it go. 

Black and White? I think not. This is Growth, Refinement. It's an ongoing process to bring you the opportunity to be more brilliant with your Light!  Sometimes when you can't trust yourself, it spirals you out of control with rational thinking.  Sometimes when you can't trust yourself you enjoy the ocean of possibilities brought to you.

Faith will always bring you back to where you are Cherished the Most. Welcome to your Destiny.

Be Joyful and Share it. We're all in this together.  :-)

What?

When one becomes attuned to a different frequency than what they had been previously, things of the past are not the same.

This is part of Growth.  You know you have grown when you think about something in the past and it does not feel the same. This is good!  Enjoy it.  That means you have just made more room for the Present and your Future!  Aren't you glad you are conscious enough to realize this?

And you thought feelings were not accurate.  They are, they are very real and they are part of being Human.  With that, you are able to step your game up because this will be You, only Better because you can make choices easier and even answer your own questions if you learn how to listen to your feelings.

Practice makes perfect. Keep on Keepin' On.  :-)

Waves

Looking at a book I got my son, it showed how to make a radio out of simple material.

What fascinated me was the copper coiled up as a receiver of the radio transmissions.

Why is that? Why does it have to be coiled? Then I realized it was to capture the full spectrum of the wave of the frequency.

Fascinating.

As humans, we are electrical animals. We need to become more aware of being receivers of transmissions all around us.

Sound far out? Sound weird? I think not. Today I will explore this thought process more.

What are you transmitting? What are you receiving? Are you mistaking receiving waves of information as your own? Are you open enough to receive? Interesting to think about, isn't it?!

Believe

I have beliefs. These beliefs are the foundation of how I act, how I react, and how I speak.

Mostly, I walk my walk.

Are you walking your walk?

Not here again

An odd energy intrudes my early morning.  I remain strong.

Late evening past danced strangely as I recognized the energy....it was familiar unfortunately.

I remember the calm, unbusyness of previous days.  

Nice thing this time is that the Universe holds me up.  Nice thing this time is that I have energy facilitated to bring me support.  Nice thing this time is that it is a different morning!

Unexpected and honored, I accept this gift from the Universe.

This is me, opening up even more.  :-)

Awake

I can see now. Thank you. :-)

Ease

In a state of uneasiness, activities that once generated energy are now felt as an irritant.

Newness

I am changed. Walking into my new role with new things to do.

My retreat into a musical, magical immersion has brought me to this point and I have gratitude.

Riding the wave

Ever notice how some common interest transports information unseen so quickly?

Music will do this. Appreciation of common songs draw us close to experience Joy together.

Barriers are obliterated, judgements suspended and Joy fills the room.

Of course we interpret how music moves us on an individual basis but the underlying Joy is experienced as a whole.

Ushering in feeling of community. Brought together by CHOICE.

Namaste.

Quiet morning

As I awoke naturally, I got to enjoy the non-busyness of the day beginning.

Interesting way to begin my day.

Immediately I wonder how I can recreate this at my home. I cannot.

All I can do is remember this poignant moment of peace and calm to draw upon from time to time.

As I enjoy the beauty and charm of my antique room I find myself thinking old thoughts of centuries ago.

How far back can I remember? My meditation begins.

What, you think you have to closing your eyes and sitting still to meditate?

Meditation is a state of mind where the stillness is there. Emptying you mind, unattaching your conscious activity of the mind. I have found rhythmic movement assists me with this. Yes, even dancing can be used. I guess the core of meditation can be described as a rhythm without a rhythm. It is releasing judgement

And now I begin preparing my text in a physical journal with pencil in hand.

May you find Peaceful clarity today with this message from me to YOU. :-)

Journey

On my journey today I am changed this morning.

A new energy is brought to me and I feel the Universe strongly today.

The calm morning draws me into my core and I am calmed and peaceful.

I am excited how the day will unfold.  I am smiling.  :-)

I am

It is the I Am that I seek.

I've been here waiting for myself this whole time.  Patiently.

Waiting is a strange place to be.  It is not an passive state.  The ebb and flow of this activity presents waves that allow one to be found in them, swept away with them or allowed to be in a place where the waves have passed and Peace is found.  With this comes the realization that sometimes we are swept up, but there is a cycle we belong to and there will be times when there is Peace, a time when there are storms and a time when there are opportunities.

I begin my day with a different cadence, a curiosity, a state of no longer waiting but this time, being active with anticipation.

Namaste.  :-)

All we want.

All we really want is to tune into that Universal energy that holds us together.

All we really want is to hold each other up and support each other.

What a great way to start the day!  

We really are all in this together, so let's start acting like it.

It's amazing when one person opens themselves up to possibilities and then from that opening discovers new avenues of thought and energy!  Then that one person interfaces with another and shares their story.  Then the other person opens themselves up and the world becomes a better place.

Wasn't that easy?  Didn't you just feel a great sense of relief?  :-)

Possibilities

Being in a place that seems to be stuck, I have chosen to become more flexible.  

The possibilities of what to do next causes me to analyze if I have any fears about this because it is obvious to me that fear has a way of paralyzing me.

What am I holding onto that is creating this vacuum?  What am I ignoring?

I realized yesterday that my thought process to carve out a career for myself may have been backwards.  I need to decide because the Universe waits to support that decision.

What about deciding is causing this paralyzing process?

Is it possible to be too open?  Maybe not.  Maybe I am so open I am caught up in all of the activity around being this open and all I need to do is shift my gaze or attention to something to focus on it.

Maybe because I am intimate with the creative process, I know all about the relinquishing, the movement that occurs when you're in the moment, the unattachment required to let the Universe flow through you.  There is an element I am not seeing, not sensing, not picking up on.

Today, I will think about focusing on that which wishes to express itself through me.  I am centered, I am ready, I believe I am prepared.

Today, I will readjust my skirt and start walking to see what energy I will resonate with.  :-)

Sunrise

Kind of fun beginning my day before sunrise.  I get the peace of the darkness and the quiet in the house.

A new day awaits!  Some things just don't change very easily, don't they?

We think we have it all figured out and then something happens to change the pattern of our thoughts.

Our freedom truly exists within ourselves. It has nothing to do with anyone else.

It's that feeling one chooses to allow.  In order to have that feeling of freedom, one must let go of all other thoughts.  It's easier to do than you're struggling with.

The darkness of the day teaches us how to do this.  The animals know it.

The sun has not began her song yet, but the Moon's song is very different.  A peaceful song it sings.  You should listen to it sometime.  Look to the moon in the darkness.  The darkness plays with the moon, the wind carries their song.  

Peaceful thoughts today.  Sitting with this feels stable for me today as I had a strange evening last night with a strange dance in front of me.

Sometimes I just feel like I am in a foreign place.

Wow is all I gotta say

I find myself in a completely different place today.  

The Universe does work with us!  The strange feelings I had were directly related chemical reaction to antihistamine.  I do not take ANY other medication, so if I feel that way, I wonder how others feel and maybe how they don't realize it is this that causes them to think they are depressed or out of sorts.

Wow is all I gotta say.

It started with the Universe sending an email that I won concert tickets in a different state, halfway across the US from where I am!  Then it continued when my family said "go".

Still in a haze, but coming out of it because I didn't take the antihistamine that day, I made reservations finding a pep in my attitude.

The conflict in my life dissipated and the fog lifted.

I have stated before luck is not in my world. Nothing happens by mistake.  It was the Universe giving me something, and I accepted it.

Wow is all I gotta say today.  

What is the Universe giving to you?  A good job?  A good family?  Good friends?  A loving animal friend?  A kind feeling from the breeze that plays with your face?  A calm feeling looking into the dark while you're outside?  Accept it.

Chemical

For those who suffer or have suffered from depression.

Be wary of using any kind of drug if you are not currently taking ANY medications.

I used an over the counter antihistamine for allergies and it threw me over the edge.

Not a good combination given the emotional stuff I have been working with the last few days.

I knew it could have been related to this but now I know.

Be Gentle.

Specks of Dust

I am more than my relationships.

I am more than my relationship with the Earth.

I am more than my relationship with this body.

I am more than my relationship with the Whole.

Why is the Whole important?

Why is my microcosm of a thing important in the great scheme of things?

I am yet a speck of dust compared to the Whole, why is that important?

There are smaller things than my speck of dust. Why are these all so important to the Whole?

Because together they make up the Whole.

Why is the Whole Important?

What if there wasn't a Whole?

Then there would be nothing.

Whole is an expression.

Then and only then the speck of dust becomes important. The speck of dust is the expression of the Whole. Then the Whole is expressed. Without the one speck of dust the Whole would not be expressed properly and it would not be True to Itself.

The speck of dust finds its energy again and continues to dance resonating with the Whole and finding Joy again in that resonance with the Whole.

The energy from the dance from the speck of dust is contagious and causes other specks of dust around it to tune themselves to its resonance, thus tuning themselves in the resonance of the Whole.

Empty

After the trauma and shock, after clarity has shown me that which I needed to see, I am left here alone.

It is just me.  

It has always been just me.

I have a choice as I always do.  Why not create something so wonder filled that I get caught up in it's dance?  Why not create something so beautiful that it fires all my senses?  Why not open myself to All that Is and let it flow through me with such force that the gush of energy creates a shift in the Earth's axis?

The emptiness exists.

It is the place tears come from from time to time.

It is also the place where one is able to take a deep breath because there is a new reality that will exist with the next exhale.

It is the place where one can grab onto the friendly hand extended to them to pull them up.  The friendly hand.

Sometimes there is no physical friendly hand. Sometimes it is the hand from the place we all come from.

I know this hand, it has been there all along, waiting for me when I need it.

The emptiness dissipates.

It is still there, but I choose to call upon the Light of All Living Things Connected again. 

Great Universal Light that Connects All Things, I ask You Today to Be My Friend and Be With Me.  While I'm asking from my low spot today, I also ask That You Touch All the lives of those who need to Today too, because if I'm in a low spot, others may be too and I want them to feel Your Comfort because they need it too.

And So It Is.

What is Clarity?

As my day ends, so does my clarity.

I am faced with questioning why I feel like I do?  Why am I judgmental? Why do I need to judge? Why do I need to label something in a neat and tidy package?

I don't. It is not in my nature to label and judge that strongly, it is merely a reaction to external things.

That which is external will always disappoint me.  Someone else's behavior is external.

I am told not take it personal that it is their opportunity to deal with, not mine.

I look in the eyes of questions.

The questions are there, but my clarity pierces through the fog and I am standing in pure light.

That's where I begin to question my clarity.  Is this how clarity is?  I guess because I sense it is something not familiar in this situation.  The precipice appears again.  My gentle tendencies are questioned by myself.  Is it really this easy?  Is it really this clear? Why?

I realize I am not enjoying this level or this type of clarity because it is in such a dense fog.  My light shines brightly but it is dimmed in the dense fog.  No one else can see my light I fear.  That's where I am wrong.

My light is not something to see, it is felt.

My light springs forth in rhythm with every living thing.

The fog is the fog.  Let it Be.

Stand in Your Light.  Sadness and confusion happen, it is part of growth.   My awkwardness throws me off center.  I ask for Grace and Freedom of Movement.  Blessed Universal Light, I ask now for this Peace and shake me with your Vibrations so my Light is unobstructed.  

And so it is.  :-)

Trauma and Shock

I have a choice. 

I can choose to be a victim or I can choose to stand strong.

When it comes to trauma, the choice can be made instantly or one can choose to not react right away, instead pulling the trauma apart and examining it.

For once, I have this opportunity presented to me.

Something didn't set right, something didn't sound right, something didn't feel right.

I was perplexed.  What an odd dance that is happening before me.

I remain perplexed and that is good for now.  

This time I will choose to stand strong.  This time I will Breathe and be responsible for my part in the trauma.  This time I will not be hooked into drama.  This time I will be compassionate and freeze any preconceived notions and conclusions and work with this to allow this to become something not so monstrous and scary, but something as light as a feather that blows with the wind.

It is in this process of banter where the opportunity for me to be strong presents itself.  

Forgiveness is in order and it is the strong thing to do.  The victimization is dissipating and light is there for me to become engulfed in.  I can breathe freely, I am not constricted, but the banter continues.

That is ok, I'll let it be what it is, but I now feel that light permeating all of my being.  I am NOT transported to another place and time, I am here, I am present.  This is me being strong.

The vibrations I feel now clear what energy is no longer needed.

The banter continues.

The song clears my mind. I am in awe of the power of light and how that makes me feel so clear.  

I am blessed knowing I had been given this opportunity to bring my own healing to me.

Only because I am connected.  Only because the light I speak of comes from every living thing.

Thank you.  :-)

Song

Everyone has their song. They sing it all day long.  They play it all day long.

Sometimes people enjoy the music they hear from others.  Sometimes.

Sometimes people find the music fascinatingly complicated.

Sometimes people find the music interestingly simple.

Sometimes people find the music offensive.

When this happens, all they need to do is simply be in a different place to not hear the music that offends them.

It is pretty obvious when people smile at you and you sense them enjoying your music.

It is not so obvious when people don't react and merely rush along their merry way.

Worse yet, is when people are in your midst and they remain silent and unresponsive.

Sometimes you just try too hard.

Sometimes your song changes.

Sometimes.

Take Heart, change is good.  Others will find your music fascinating again and you will be pleasantly surprised with your new group of friends.  This could take some time, so be patient.  Your song is Beautiful and worth listening to. Even if it appears no one is listening, they are.  Stay positive, it helps the rest of us.  You are gentleness someone has finally realized in the room where they take a huge breath. They don't know why, they just feel calmer and more at ease.  They don't look at you, they appear to not notice you, but you know your song is a good one and it may just make their day brighter for some odd reason.

Sometimes your song comes from a single piano or guitar. Sometimes your song is a choir and orchestra with such vitality and strength that even you get caught up in it.

Sometimes.

Thanks Dad.  :-)

Healing

Like a switch turned on, the floodgates opened and Certainty existed.

The calm overcame me with such a great sense of purpose.

The fast I decided to do worked.  I became centered, whole, connected at an even deeper level and Calm and Peace permeated me.

Today I begin the day with the Joyful sense of being Me.  Not the muddled me with all kinds of energy swirling around me.  The Me where the energy comes from within me and extends to all of you Today.  I am here to Heal.  I Heal Myself, therefore, I Heal You.  

Thank you for being with me on this journey, I Honor who you are and how Connected I feel to You. Thank you. 

Today I begin a new journey.  Today I begin to Honor that which is unseen and yet felt so deeply.

I bow my Head in Reverence Today.  I only wish the same for You.

Namaste.  :-)

Slowing down

Continuing my quest to slow down, I am going to fast today.

It felt right to practice this today after being successful yesterday.

What, you think not eating for a day is unhealthy?  Better rethink your relationship with food.

I used to practice this one day out of a week for many many months. I broke the fast with fresh made salsa (tomato, cilantro, sweet onion, poblano pepper) and chips. 

My body feels comfortable today to fast. I still prepare meals for my family, I just give my body a break for the day.  Of course, I'm hydrated. I'll start with coffee and workout with lemon water. 

If you think about it, isn't it nice to take a break every once and awhile from such busy activity?

Fasting to me is bringing myself back to center physically.  Sure I can center myself mentally all the time, but when it comes to physical, there's only one way to do this.  It has to be all day to complete the cycle of a day and wake up refreshed and renewed.

Need to wake up refreshed and renewed?  Give it a try!  You'll find out if you have an addiction to food, for sure, but hey, that's what we're all about, right?  Awareness!  Don't be hard on yourself, you're already hard enough on yourself about things, just relax.

Peace to You.

Outside

I am grateful to be able to go outside today.  That gratitude will infiltrate my day today.  The air greets me and a gentle breeze plays with my face and makes me smile.  

I really am grateful today.  Another dream that was not a repeated dream, a new one! The day just gets better and better!  I am Blessed with so much already and my Heart overflows with Joy and Love for the Universe.  

Today I choose to slow down and feel gratitude and express gratitude.  I have gratitude for you as well.  Thank you for reading what my Heart says.  Thank you.

And I thought I was living slow enough.  What the day has in store for me will be interesting, it already is!  Friends from everywhere will contact me to stay in touch with me, and you are one. Thank you.  I feel the connection and it is so vital, isn't it?  You feel the connection too-this is Life and the beauty filled essence of Life and Light.  Welcome.  :-)

Another day

I heard the term ordinary the other day. One's life becoming ordinary.

I guess we all need balance with ordinary and extraordinary.

Both of these still have the same root though. The ordinary blossoms into the extraordinary and sometimes explodes when you least expect it. Common is the same root.

Common.  I like that.  We are all more common-"shared by all" is the dictionary definition.

Wow.  That means we share so much!

And you thought ordinary was a bad thing.  If we all share what we are thinking about maybe we could all see that our strife is shared, our burdens are shared, our sadness is shared.  Then that also means our Joy is shared, our happiness is shared, our victory is shared.

I tend to share alot of Joy because I find Joy is most things, especially these days where clarity is so close.

You are Loved.  :-)
