Acceptance

Since the holidays many experiences have arisen in my life. These experiences have inspired me to begin writing again. It has been some time since I have shared my thoughts.

These last few weeks have validated how important acceptance and gratitude is in living a peace filled life.
The first thing I need to accept is my inability to control people, places and things. I must admit that these things are beyond my ability to change.

Whether the situation is an ailing family member or friend, ten inches of snow, or someone elses' perception that is different than mine I must remember the only thing I have power over is my own thoughts, feelings and actions. I can offer love, support and share my experience and let go of the rest.

In these difficult and challenging times when fear and frustration attempt to rule my life I must make a gratitude list. This list reminds me of the silver lining beneath the surface of my difficulties and helps me to continue moving forward focusing on the solution.

I must stay in close contact with my higher source, praying for the strength, faith and courage to move forward in a positive direction. Meditation, yoga, visualizaitons and walking in nature help me to have a more intimate relationship with self.

In times of sadness and pain I must accept what I can and cannot change, count my blessings, stay in touch with my higher Source and Let go.

The "To Do" list, Really???

It has taken my life up to this point to realize that the meaning of life is not in what I accomplish but in who I am in relationship to myself and others. Let's take a moment to think about what the purpose of life really is. Is it about emptying the in box, crossing off items on our "To Do" list, keeping ourselves so busy doing that we forget how to be?

Life is filled with relationships; including those to ourselves, our family, friends, colleagues,the community, our environment, our finances, our physical beings, our spirit and the world around us. Everything is about relationships and the most important one is to ourselves. We must first learn how to honor, respect and love ourselves before we can offer and attract the same from others. How do we treat ourselves on a daily basis?

1. What do you think or say when you look in the mirror?
2. Do you set healthy boundaries?
3. Are you open to listen to your inner voice and intuition?
4. Can you take the time each day to enjoy the present moment?
5. When do you experience the beauty and nature around you?
6. How do you accept, unconditionally love, honor and respect yourself on a daily basis?
7. Are the foods you eat supporting you energetically, emotionally and spiritually?
8. Do you take the time to exercise and/or listen to emotionally uplifting music?
9. Can you spend time alone with yourself in quiet and enjoy your own company?

Once we realize that the relationship with ourself is the core connection to our relationship with everything else in the world then our life begins to shift in the direction of our goals and our dreams. Brutal honesty, fearless self discovery, and a willingness to persistently make changes to learn and grow results in the metamorphisis from the caterpillar into the butterfly. Intimate, fulfilling and healthy relationships are the rewards for such dedication to self.

When in the constant flux of doing, planning and arranging we forget how to have a relationship with Self. The emphasis becomes that of producing, finishing projects and results.


The past two weeks have emphasized the importance of putting down the doing and taking the time to offer unconditional love, support and guidance to those around me who may be facing their own challenges, crisis and disappointments. Conversing, laughing, sharing in times of joy and sadness are the keys to a fulfulling and successful life. Spend time today deciding how you can do things differently!

Many blessings for a beautiful day. Feel free to share this with those you are in relationship with.

Let the Sunshine in

See life through empowered eyes. Clean the window of your perception, change your thoughts and your outlook. Begin to see life through your eyes instead of with them.

What can you create with your vision? Who do you want to become? What would you like to have? and How would you like to feel? You have the power to create the life you desire by beginning to focus on the direction of your choice and taking action to move toward your goals.

Make a conscious decision to do things differently. Uncover your purpose, dust off and reveal old sabotaging thoughts and beliefs while creating new empowering thoughts and beliefs. Spend time each day using your imagination. Break through comfort zones and visualize life the way you want it. Journal, shout out loud, and declare all that you desire. See it, feel it and experience the shift in energy as you grow and evolve into new ways of perceiving the experiences you encounter in your life.

Make powerful choices that allow you to feel in control of your life. Take back your power!

Many blessings for a beautiful day.

Movement Matters in the Meantime

Movement is a miraculous catalyst for transforming negative energy into dynamic empowered thinking. Have you spent the day with an emotional vampire? Has your progress on a project plateaued? Do you need to take action but feel fearful and insecure? Whatever has you frozen in time movement can help blocked energy to release and flow in a positive direction.

Find the type of movement that suits you.

Play music and begin to sway to the rhythm, stomp your feet and sway your arms responding to your own creative flow. Let loose, get wild and crazy, shake out the cobwebs of negativity and begin to dance with courage, freedom and joy.

You may want to run on a treadmill, down a dirt road with nature or on the beach listening to the waves crashing along the shore.

Perhaps you prefer weight lifting. Feeling physically strong is a great way to gain courage and strength mentally in order to overcome hesitation to move forward through challenges.

Whatever form of movement you choose enjoy the process and watch miracles happen. Next time you feel stuck just get up and find an activity that excites you. Movement and taking action during times of sadness, fear, and being overwhelmed is a great way to stimulate a positive outlook and get results.

What will you choose to do the next time you need a change of attitude?

Enjoy the day and its' many blessings.
