It's been awhile!

Walking in a foreign country, I approached this strange sculpture. An expression of a feeling.

Being exposed to another culture is so fascinating, isn't it?!  The subtle nuances of cadence of speech, the subtle nuances of how to behave correctly, the subtle nuances cultural dress.

But the energy is similar.  Seeing past these external things, the essential energy is the same! 

On my journey this time, spirit spoke very LOUDLY to me. Six other persons facilitated the same message. "Do not be afraid, this is unconventional." Insatiably fascinating this experience was.

My journey continues and expands to other parts of the world and I am supported with my efforts.  I look forward to making new friends and speaking other languages, but mostly, I look forward to speaking with my Heart, because isn't that the universal language?

Listening and speaking with one's Heart is the easiest language to express.  Let's do more of that together, what do you say?  Are you in?

I'm all in!! 

I choose to express and Wow, you guys are listening!  I sense it and Thank you for letting me share.  

From my Heart to Yours:  I see you and see the Beauty of this connection, Thank you.  :-)

What the sam hill?

Oddest energy came to me today.  I am still baffled at how it creeped into my field of awareness.

It began as everything does with my physical presence, as a feeling.

The feeling continued and I expressed it. What an odd thing this expression was.

And yet, the odd expression morphed into a more harmonious atmosphere. How can that be?

Is it possible to express feelings that are not positive in such a manner that allows for harmony to overcome and dissipate? Apparently.

Harmony. What a strange thing that is.

Does this mean I have let go of some strange negative feeling and actually allowed harmony to exist with me?  That's what I am finding odd.

You question this possibly because if you know me, you know how I enjoy being the cheerleader and sharing Joy unabashedly.  And yet, here I am.  Surrounded by this new reality.

That which I have strived for, craved, cried for is now here-came to fruition!?!

I need to be Grateful for this odd feeling and embrace it as it requires it.  This is what Harmony feels like. Wow, I thought it would be different, but any NEW feeling is that way, isn't it.  Unexpected when one experiences it.

Life is fascinating.

Concealed

Many times, there are things that are concealed that take some energy to bring to light.

It can be a feeling or something that has been screaming for your attention.

When all is said and done, the concealment will be brought to light.  This will not happen during the heat of the moment.  Instead it is done reflectively as one settles down and breathes a calm breath.  When the gentleness appears, the concealment will reveal itself.

There is no other way I know of that will allow this concealment to be revealed. Do you?

:-)

Organization

Interesting how organization comes into play when a plan is unfolding.

As if a light switch turned on, the plan pushed energy towards me along with the organization that went with it.

It came to me very clearly, as if it had already happened, I just needed to write it all down in an organized manner.

Why didn't this happen earlier?

Ah, there is more to this than what appears in front of us.

You think not?

The way of manifestation and creation is fascinating because it is the instant when one becomes the instrument in which the creation pours out from.  One actually steps out from their own way and let's it flow through them.

Any artist knows this process and is intimate with it.

What, you are not an artist?

In your own way, you are. Remember the time when you were part of a team and suddenly, you had an idea of how the idea was going to work successfully?

Yes, you were part of a team...even as a child, your playground buddies were your team. Maybe even if it was only one other person, you formulated an idea and executed it.  First you guys had to agree it was a good idea, then came the part where turning an idea into reality happened. Gathering supplies to make it happen, getting the plan together on how it will be constructed.  Yes, you learned at such an early age, you might have merely mislabeled it.  

I am here to tell you your experiences as children have in fact helped you get where you are professionally.

So, in the team, were you the runner to get supplies? The visionary who saw how things would come together to build the fort? The leader to make sure everyone was safe and happy doing what they wanted?  The observer who encouraged and clapped their hands seeing how well things were working out? 

Sometimes we are all of these at once.  

Organizing thought on paper is powerful.  It is in the definition where the thought comes out into the physical realm.

Pretty d*mn cool, I think.  :-)

Pit of my stomach

A new energy is required today.  There is some healing required today.

Nature always has the answers if you require an external source.

That's if you think Nature is external. :-)

Quiet

The day begins quiet as the snow puts a blanket on sounds.

Today is another day with the confidence I choose to have.  It is very different this confidence I have. Because my sensitivity is with feeling, I am becoming accustomed to this feeling, I am becoming familiar with this feeling.  Do I dare name it?

For me, naming something is not important, familiarity is much more important than the name.

Good example.  What do you feel when you smell something familiar?  A freshly sliced orange-what images does it conjure up for you? They are not words, it is a feeling.  Feelings are much more instant than words are. They carry much greater weight than words do.  You may be surprised at what memories pop up by merely smelling something familiar.

A rule of aromatherapy-that which smells good to you tells you your body needs it. That which does not smell good tells you your body does not need it.  Amazing, isn't it?  Yes, it is that simple.

Quietly go out and try it out.  You will find Joy today with a smell that triggers it.

Triggers.  Activation point.

Today is quiet, but the energy behind the quiet is greater than any shout.

Namaste.  :-)

Different calm

It is in the moment of discovery where I enjoy reveling in it. Good, Bad, Happy, Sad, I always focus on the moment where I feel the change.  It fascinates me to no end that the human condition is so rich with poignant moments of change.  When you realize this, change becomes something exciting and not to be feared.  Because in my world, when I learn something on a very very small scale, that learning is instantly shared in ALL aspects of my life.  For instance, the morning routine of getting water from the water filter container and being annoyed that I had to refill it.  The awareness of me changing my attitude that instant made the day much lighter and brighter and filled with gratitude.

It is that miraculous, you realize.  It is the awareness as you realize something you can change, then changing it and realizing how important that little change became.

Think about it today. Think about how many changes are presented to you by awareness of your thoughts and then taking that nano second to discover you can change!

Because today, I am a different person. Today, I feel the different calm that came over me yesterday. Poignant with Power, but not the kind of power to move mountains, the kind of power that came when I relinquished and trusted everything was going to be OK. It remains with me today as it reverberates  from within me and I sense it's wisdom.

All because I am aware of when change is an option, I sit with that idea for a nano second and then choose to take the better, healthy path.  Sometimes better and healthy is painful because of what needs to surface after that, but it is still the best way to change because it is infused with much more light and life, even if it is painful.  Like taking a splinter out, it is painful for a moment, but releasing the splinter will cause healing to begin instantly. After the healing begins and the scar appears, that is when you can look back and thank the splinter for bringing an old hurt to the surface to heal.

Change is easy, not changing is hard and takes too much energy.  You change more than you think, so why not?

May each and every one of you today discover the beauty of what is brought to your awareness and the courage to face it and change your life.

And So It Is.  :-)
