November...

I started the month of October as my "no worries" time. I have decided to have November as my "be grateful and no analyzing my feelings month". I want the days to just swim in gratitude and offer them no resistance to anything that I am feeling. To just let "it all be". To live each and every moment carefree, living in expectancy and joy as the universe figures out the end result. It feels good to LET GO and rest with childlike anticipation, as I become more and more use to the everyday miracles. I am overflowing with GRATITUDE.

Fear... and answers

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎"The presence of fear is a sure sign you're trusting in your own strength."

A COURSE IN MIRACLES

This week I had plumbing issues at my house. At first I was mad at myself because I knew better then to put food down the garbage disposal because it has clogged up before. But I did it anyway and wa-la..... CLOGGED drain. Fear came and went. I thought I can do this, I can manage this problem, it's happened before. Then as nothing was working fear come back, oh no what am I going to do know. Is it a problem bad enough to call the plumber, do I know anyone who would know anything about plumbing and do I have the nerve to ask them, what should I do. Then the fear would subside and I would try again... nothing. I decided to go to bed visualize and let go and as I did, the universe provided an answer. A friend of a friend offered to come help. AWESOME!!! I was thrilled and went to the sink once more to give it one last plunge and that did the trick. But I now know that my "presence of fear was a sure sign I was trusting on my own strength" to figure it out. That is a big lesson I am learning on this journey of life, I don't have to "do it all myself", and that is feeling really good right now.

Allowing.......

I open myself up today to the art of Allowing. To ask for more, to expect more, to receive more. To know it is okay to ask, expect and receive. To know it doesn't take away from anyone else. I don't need to suffer or pay dues in order to receive happiness, money, love, or peace. I only need to "KNOW", to trust, to surrender to what is and allow good things to flow. To find what makes me happy and be conscious in my present moments of my intent. Am I struggling or am I allowing? Am I seeing my cup half empty or half full? Am I offering love to myself and others or am I judging. Am I happy....... YES I AM!

October.......

I have chosen October as my "no worries" free month. I am experimenting with the idea of practising everyday for a month to not pick up worry, or fear about my life. To wake everyday and set my intention to only GOOD thoughts and expecting miracles. What harm can it do? My cup is half full or half empty, it's however you want to look at it. When dark clouds of thoughts come my way I refuse to let them in. Positive energy reins over me.

If I could........

relax and pet my cat and dangle my feet in the stream and find things that please me and focus upon them....... and spend time with the people who make me feel the best and read the books that make me feel best and go to the movies that make me feel best and take the drives that make me feel best and think of the aspects of those I work with who make me feel best and make lists of things that I like that make me feel best and wear the clothing that makes me feel best and eat the food that makes me feel best and do the things that make me feel best and think the thoughts that make me feel best......... hmm, I would feel pretty good!!!

Surrender to.....

Don't be afraid to surrender to the void.

The void isn't empty

it's filled with the Divine.

Words by: Marianne Williamson

My present moment today is about surrendering to the void. A place full of questions waiting for my answers to what is true for me. It's about jumping off into the unknown, knowing only that I don't have to go there alone. I am on this earth to give love and be loved. To stop clinging to "lack" and be present and open to what each moment can offer me. I am surrounded by SO many wonderful people, just their presence is a constant reminder of how loved and full my life is. I will live this moment today with gratitude and excitement. And a huge thank you to all that have chosen to come along for the ride of a life time.

Bad Hair Cut ?

The hair cut wasn't that bad but it wasn't what I thought I was asking her to do. I was not very happy when I got home and felt frustrated because I was trying to grow some of my hair longer. Now it is all very short again. So enough time of looking in the mirror and realizing that being upset doesn't grow my hair any faster I decided to see what lesson I could dig out of my disappointment.

The lesson is a reminder:

* to work on my communication skills and maybe next time I could bring in a picture or go over my idea with her and see if she "gets it". And in general be more aware of how I am communicating with others. Often I know what I feel or am trying to say but getting that idea across to another is harder sometimes then it seems.

* to listen deeper to others and myself (as I felt that was something she didn't really do for me). I am guilty of hearing but not really listening. I often interrupt, I'm thinking of what I want to say while another is talking and I've made choices in my life that were not the best for me because I didn't listen deep enough to my own thoughts and knowing.

I will ponder more about what it is to listen deeply and leave you with this thought.........

When one surrenders into listening closely and carefully and sacredly to the moment, there is no longer fear.
