NO...

"Sometimes the best thing you can do is not think, not wonder, not imagine, not obsess. Just breath and believe that everything will work our for the best."

I need this often!!!! 

NO thinking, NO wonder, NO imagining and NO obsessing!

JUST BREATH in this present moment... and believe that "all is well."

Wonderful...

"Always believe that something wonderful is about to happen."

Why not believe today... something WONDERFUL is about to happen!!!

I can believe negative or positive, today I choose WONDERFUL!

Lesson...

"People may not tell you how they feel about you but they always show you. Pay attention."

One lesson I've learned in life that I share with my children is " When someone shows you who they are, believe them." When I use to take writing classes, one phrase that was always said about writing fiction was, "show don't tell." 

Anything...

"When you do what you fear most, then you can do anything."

Stephen Richards

I'm trying to believe that's true. Most days it seems like everything I'm doing is fearful and somedays are not. I will cling to the present moment because I know it holds just what I need to see. If I look no further then the fear is managable.

Doubt...

I'm having one of those day's where someone said some sideways remarks yesterday to me and today I woke up doubting everything I believe. I'm learning quicker and quicker not to resist and allow the uncomfortable place to be there. Then I hang on to the saying " This to shall pass" and it does leave me much faster when I can let it flow through instead of damning it up.

Tested...

Trust is tested when what you had hoped and thought would happen is shattered. Now I must hold on to what I believe, which is "all is well and I am safe" and continue to trust that my path in this unknown will be just the right place for my children and I. There is comfort in knowing, I'm not doing this process alone. I had felt alone so many times in my life but life continues to show me over and over again... NO ~ you do not walk this path alone ~ so Trust in the process Nancy and you will be more then okay!

Soft...

"Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place."

Kurk Vonnegut

I need to remember today that my past experience don't define my present moment. I can be "soft" in this world and know that I am okay, because I am loved and am capable of loving. The world is a beautiful place!

Storm...

"We are what we believe we are."

C.S. Lewis

I've had a rough couple of weeks and tonight I feel weary. Just SO tired of the struggle. I know the conclusion to this story is almost over but the storm gets strong at times and is hard to stand tall and wait it out ~To wait for what you know is on the other side... 

So tonight I'm going to bed believing I am a strong, beautiful, confident, loving woman who deserves the best the Universe has to offer!

Heart...

"Love begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home."

Mother Teresa

I always felt, taking care of the ones at home was where my heart ALWAYS belonged.

And I still do!

Surreal Present Moment...

As I was driving to spend a fun day with friends that I love very much, two deers walked out in front of my car. It was like this surreal present moment. No one was behind me and no cars were coming from the other direction, and I just stopped... It felt like the world just paused and what looked like a mother and child just walked across the street off into the woods, then traffic was everywhere, and I was left in awe. I believe animals have meaning and this is what I found when I looked it up:

"Deer's enter your life to help you walk the path of love with full consciousness and awareness, to know that love sometimes requires caring and protection, not only in how we love others, but also in how we love ourselves.

When deer's enter your life, a new innocence and freshness in about to be awakened. New adventures are just around the corner and there will be opportunity to express the gentle love that will open new doors for you."

I MUST...

Today I MUST believe that "all is well". I MUST believe that there will be answers to the big mystery that is in my life right now. I MUST believe today that there is a rainbow behind this dark cloud hanging over head. I MUST believe that I am courageous enough to offer my children the path to the other side. I MUST believe that I am strong enough to withstand this storm of unknown.

I MUST BELIEVE!

Tell Yourself...

Everything will work out.

Things will get better.

You are important.

You are worthy of great things.

You are lovable.

The time is now.

This too, shall pass.

You can be who you really are.

The best is yet to come.

You are strong.

 You can do this.

We believe what we tell ourselves.

Chanting...

My chanting phase today was, "All is well and I am safe." Thats what I said to myself all day to keep my mind from going places that leads me to believe things that I know aren't true. So I have to say I had a pretty good day!

Those who need it the most...

"They say" that you should love "the miserable" because they need it the most. But sometimes it is very hard!!! I believe that we are ALL worthy of love but I also believe that there are different ways to love someone. I don't feel I need to subject myself to someone's constant unhappiness, but I can be kind and offer "love" when their around or I can send them "loving thoughts" when needed. I can allow them that uncomfortable space they need to make a change or not.

The Sales Pitch...

"You sell yourself on the idea that you are more than you previously believed yourself to be. "

Having your own business means selling yourself. For me that has to be one of the hardest parts. Whether it's zucchini your selling or yourself, you have to believe it what your doing - and I do! And then there's that "yes-but" and working through that feeling to get to the other side. I know when I accomplish one group I will be better then when I started and just a little more confident the next time. 

My mantra today is 

" I can do this! I believe in what I'm doing!  I can do this!"

Believe...

"Always believe something wonderful is about to happen!"

What if each and everyone of us believed this? Would that be awesome...

The glass is either half full or half empty ~ it's all how you look at it, and why not ~ just believe something wonderful is about to happen!

Exactly...

I came across this post http://www.positivelypositive.com/2013/03/24/you-are-exactly-where-youre-supposed-to-be. 

Aren't there times when someone tells you something and you don't care if it's really true or not, you just need to believe it. Being exactly where I'm suppose to be right now is what I need to believe. When I hear that, it stops all the wondering if I'm doing what I'm suppose to be doing with my life, it stops the wondering why a beloved partner to share my present moments with has not shown up yet and all the other unending questions that really have no good answer. There is a poem I've always liked called, "Living the Questions." Tonight I will rest my weary mind and just live in the questions and believe I am exactly where I am suppose to be!   ~Good Night...

Jealousy...

JEALOUSY rears its ugly head...

Jealousy is what I feel while looking out my window at my neighbors newly built screened in porch. I have always wanted my patio to be screened in. But jealousy tells me that I'm feeling lack... lack of something I think I can't have.  I have always felt when I feel that way about something someone has then I need to see it as a sign of all that is possible. That is what I would want someone to think if they find themselves feeling jealous over what I may have in my life. So today in this present moment I will allow jealousy to be my friend and not find judgement within myself. Instead, while it lingers I will hold on to all that is possible and... BELIEVE!

Inspired...

Today I decided to let a picture inspire me. This one struck me as what I want to do everyday ~ To get up every morning and say " welcome world, I'm ready." I want to wake up excited about my life and all that it holds within that day ~ in that present moment! To have childlike wonder, that anything is possible, if only I believe!

So today I offer to myself - a gesture of self-love... To believe, to be excited and to just ENJOY this present moment I am in.

Mantra...

Say it... Shout it... Believe it... "I'm going to make it happen".

This is my mantra for the year 2012, combined with "letting go" of the results. It's a journey not a destination...
