Being Rooted...

Being rooted means to me...  it's the place I'm connected to life.  All the things that make up "me." My thoughts, my feelings, my mistakes, my triumphs, my experiences are my roots from which I have grown. The beliefs I hold for my life and the choices I make and what I hold and value are part of my being rooted.  When a storm comes through in my life, I hold strong to these roots and it keeps me steady even if everything on the outside looks like it's falling apart. There are times in my life these roots have been brought to the surface thirsty for the water that feeds them, hungry for the security of the earth, once again. I find quiet and reach deep to give my roots what they long for.

This is a cooperative blog a friend and I are participating in to help us dig deeper... here is the link to read her blog post  http://gentlegull.blogspot.com/2014/11/being-rooted-means-to-me.html

Magnificent Three...

This is a area I visit often when I'm having playtime with one of the dogs I pet sit and it never fails to put me in a good mood. The picture doesn't do justice to how BIG these tree's are up close but they are magnificent! I feel their good energy and feel very connected to them. It is for now one of my "happy places."

Fine LIne...

Being an introvert its a fine line to know when your taking time to recharge from the world or your isolating. What I've noticed since I don't get to hang out with my group of friends much anymore is that without that planned scheduled time we use to get, I find myself closing off and isolating. So it has been a struggle for me to stay connected even the littlest amount. I've just started working on sending a text out once a week to family or friends. And as silly as it seems, I find that hard to do. I put it off everyday and then I make myself send it. This also makes it a difficult challenge to expose myself in my business http://www.wholefood-living.com/, so I'm hoping that this small practice will be a start to getting myself out there, starting with staying connected to those I know are safe and love me.

Opening...

I'm learning through a number of people lately how important it is to share and be vulnerable with those I walk this planet with. It's hard to open up and exposed my inter being, but you never know who you might touch with your words. We are all connected in this life and even though our paths are different they are still all the same. And when others share a part of themselves, they unknowingly give me the courage to do the same. 

Connected...

With each present moment that passes, with each encouraging word and help from a friend, with each piece of the process that falls into place, helps me "trust" in this journey that I don't understand where it's headed. And I think for the first time in my life I finally "know" that I am not going through this alone. I feel surrounded in love and that alone helps me to trust. We are not meant to walk this life by ourselves ~ we are all connected to the journey...

 Thanks for walking beside me as I continue to trust!

Love...

Love is in the air...

This is what I want to remember today as I go out into the world. We are all connected and wanting to be validated and loved. I will envision that "Love is in the air" and offer love to myself and all those I meet today. If we each did that for one day, awesome things could happen. Like a ripple affect, love may touch someone's life that we may never really know, and it's offered freely  ~ no strings attached! 

Remember ~You are BEAUTIFUL and LOVED today~

Friends old and new...

Facebook is bringing back friends from my past. It is SO awesome! I love being connected to ALL my friends old and new. I enjoy everyday commenting and interacting with everyone, which without Facebook doing that would not be possible. My life is richer and made happier from such a small thing.

I am grateful!!!!!!!!!
